TRACK WAS DEEP IN MUD

The going was bad on the fair grounds race track yesterday afternoon and only two of the four favorites galloped home with the money. As a result the wise ones, a large majority of whom have been playing the favorites, did not have successful day
 Signal H. a rank outsider at 10 to l, captured the fourth and last race, dash of five and a half furlongs, and only few of those who knew had their hopes on him. Dundall, the odds-on favorite, partially because Wilson was riding him, came second some little distance behind the winner.
 Owing to the condition of the track there were only four races, the trotting and pacing events having been called off by the management. The track will probably be In better condition today if the rain holds up, and if so the full pro- gramme will be carried out. Otherwise there will be only running events.
 Hawtrey, five to one shot in the first race a five and one-half furlong dash, fell dead after finishing third. The horse ran well all the way, although he never had a chance at first, and just after passing under the wire his legs wobbled and he gradually sank to the ground. Morrell the jockey, slipped from the horses back without trouble and was not injured at all. A portion of the fence was removed and the carcass was dragged from the field. The horse was brown colt 3-years-old, by Savlle out of Sundial, and was entered by J. K. Fray ling Pierpont led the entire distance, but was beaten out in the stretch by the fayorite.
 The second race was close from start to finish and the three horses which fin ished in the purse were punched when they passed under the wire. They had run neck and neck with Royal White Foot all the way down the stretch, but that horse weakened with about thirty yards more to go and did not figure in the result. Bishop Weed, the favorite. passed Bonnie Creamer and Collector when only few lengths from the wire and won by a head, the other two horses being almost neck and neck.
 Glen Gallant proved to be the best mud horse in the mile event. He took the lead from the break and was from two to five lengths ahead until the stretch was reached. when Royal Arms closed up on him rapidly Jockey Johnasson, how ever, called on the reserve strength of Glen Gallant and the horse responded nobly. During the last few lengths he increased the distance between himself and the second horse.
 The results were as follows
