 The speeding on the Clinton avenue speeday yesterday afternoon was not the success that was anticipated, the principal drawback having been the poor condition of the track. B. s. Brad ley, the manager, stated last night that the course would be in proper order for next Wednesday, when, if the weather is favorable, the events postponed yes 'terday, will take place. Early in the speeding, B. s. Bradley, who was driv- ing his flyer, Blue Light had a tire puncture on his road wagon, and that put him out of the game. Then he hitched his horse and went to work picking stone out of the roadway. There was only one stop-watch in the crowd 1nadeto time the horses. There was d pretty race between the pair of fancy matched horses owned by George P. Rolfe and driven by Titus Hall, and Henry Lancraft's handsome pair of chestnuts. These teams are so well matched for speed, that it was difIi- cult to say just which was the fastest pair yesterday. Other horses noticed on the speedway: c. R. Waterhouse' s Royal Huntress, Clifford Hubbard s fast stopper, pr. Leden's Robert s., Robert Blakeslee's Rose s, alter Clark s Domino, and good trotters belonging to John Griffin and MT. Burke. There were number of other speeders. A crowd of at least 800 watched the speeding MT Bradley said last night starters and judges to look out for the races. He said he was sorry the track was in such poor condition, but he intended to see that the road was all right for the next matinee.
