Today's card was made up of seven

Three Fell.

The most disappointing performance
OF a public choice was that of the well
known timber-topper CaloOrhatchee in
the jumping race over the short course
OF two miles. CalOOrhatchee was highly
in demand by the spectators and when
they went 10 the post the bay geldlng
was favorite at . 10 5. 1t was race
full of unusual turns, as John Z. owens,
the winner, was the only horse OF the
field of four starters that kept on his
feet throughout the race.
CalOOrahatChee. the favorite, went
down at the third Jump, Ben Battle re
fused, while Paleface, the other starter,
came a crODper at the third from the
last Jump. where he got very tired. John
z owens ran ont at the second from
the last jump. but the COlOred rider got
his head Strengthened. and he went
home all alone When John r. Owens
raced under the wire there was not
horse on the course. Paleface got sec
ond money. however, after he had
Jumped from the infeld fence and vas
taken back and on the course where
he left it. Jockey Merritt, without the
aid Of stirrups, got Paleface over the
last two jumps in time 10 claim the sec
ond money. CaloorahatChee also was
caDtured and ridden over the course by
Savage, but could not make II in the
time allowance. and was placed out or
the money.
