There was large attendance at the
races here to-day, Notwithstanding the
weather, which. although more favor
able than that Of yesterday. was cloudy
and threatening. The track was
muddy, although possibly not quite as
slow as it had been on Wednesday.
The surprise of the day came with
the first race, a five and half furlong
sprint for two-year-olds. White
Hackle, the handsome son of Star
Shoot-Mary Talbot, recently sold by
John f. Madden to the Shoshone Stable
for $4,000, was regarded as sure
winner, but after having shown flne
turn of speed and entering the. stretch

after the break and never was headed
Cabaret, the jumper that has disap-

at least two other occasions, finally
made good over the short course in a
chase framed for the maidens. His

at the end he had to be sharply ridden

Hustler.
The West scored with vengeance
when J. W. Schorr's tilly Aunt Josie
made a show of some cheap ones over
the six furlong distance. She was
quietly passed around to a favored
few, and there was a handsome win
