tary season ~badges, which were issued
broadcast early in the season, had their
badges taken up upon presentation at the
gate Signs Were displayed all around the
track calling attention to the fact that all
badges issued heretofore this season had
lost their usefulness and that even horse

OF the interest In the days program his
stable sending the favorites TO the post in
the third and fourth races, the best races
OF the day Security was held at a short
price in the third and Rapid Water and
LogIstii!a were likewise very highly re-
garded by the layers in the fourth. Sc
curity had Gold Rose to meet in the third,
but the race was at seven furlongs, bit
longer than Gold Rose has ever shown a
liking for. -Four selling races and a condI-
ton affair for two-year-olds at five fur
longs, which brought out a nice lot, made
up the balance of the program.
The Hildreth and Laz9ras stables were
shipped to Memphis tonight. Representa-
tive Tim Sullivan added another purse to
the large collection which he has gathered

ried his colors to the front in the six fur
longs which opened the program

Hannibal Bey. but he was pulled up, and
Delmore was nearest to the winner when
the line was reached; Lady Henrietta made
the pace to the stretch, and tired in the
run home.
