 Lamencss.

caused the crowd at the races yeSter- day afternoon by the card being chang cd in it's entirety, the most interesting sport of the meeting was had. The printed program was useless as a two- year-old pace and 2:i2 pace were both substituted after the races were called.
 Princina, Nashville mare. took ahe 5 2:16 trot in slow time. four heats be- ing necessary. Vic McEwen. lilly in the Garth bunch handled by Macy, but owned by Jack Shackleford, of Court In straight heats, the only straight heat affair Of the afternoon. After three hard fought heats the 2:12 pace had to go over until this afternoon. Addie c. Nashville. taking two heats, and Annie Leila. t-ie bay mare owned by C. C. Thomas. taking the first and fastest of the race.
 This race will be the first called to- day, and the indications are that the most interesting event of tle meeting will be had.
 For pure grit and gameuess John Thomas's stallion, Egotist Bell. gave an exhibition yesterday that is very rarely witnessed. So lame that he al- most winced at the finish of the fourth heat. the gallant horse trotted the tour miles without protest.
 He outgamed the Nashville mare in the first heat and won it by being ahie to stay better than the mare. It was nice race down the stretch, both trot- ting at fast clip, but lame as he was, Egotist Bell actually took the mare they reached the wire. While the grit ty stallion swept under 1t with a smoothS swinging trot.
 Cannot stand Lamenexa.
 They started off at a swift clip in the second heat. Egotist Bell going up on the first turn when he threw toe weight. Thomas got him down quick ly and went after the mare so that he not only caught her, but was in front when the half in 1:10 flat was passed. His lameness and the lost toe weight together was handicap, the stallion could not overcome. the mare passing him on the last turn and finishing in front in 2:20 1-l,
 The finish of the third heat was tho prettiest of the race. the two horses coming down the stretch like they were tied together. It looked like dead heat. but Egotist Bell went up rust before they got to the wire, the mare t:otting over in 2:24 IA.
 The fourth heat was the slowest of the race. the mare having things her way and winning in 2:25. 2 If yesterday is tbe' best that Princana can do, Egotist Bell would have made her look cheap If he had been right. as last October at Vandiver Park he won ffe last three heats of four heat race in 2:15 1-2. 2:1S.~2;1S.
 While Mir. Macy won without much trouble in the two heats of the twO- year-oid pace and kept up his .'clean sweep in Montgomery still the main interest in this race was in the per- formance of Senator B.. colt by Prod igal, owned by k. B. Fisk of this city. MT. Fish bought him as yearling from Senator Bailey, of Texas, at q sale iM Lexington, Ky, paying $500 for the votGgster.
