There was only one fault to find |
With last nights races, and that was
.hat there were not more of them. The
second rnce. twelve furlongs, was easily s
the best of the evening. The favorites
seemed to be Mordecai and LAiglon,
and both ran n grand race, with Jones
and Brown up. respectively. LAiglOn
got of at the wire to a slight lead with
Afordecai second, Agnes c., third by a
nose. and Chiffon Sguaw trailing by
half length. MoTdecais greater power
began TO tell with somewhat heavy
track, and in the stretch, though
LAiglon fought gamely, Mordecei was
not 10 be denied, and forged slowly
ahead, poiSing her nose under the wire
D winner by a half length, with LAiglon
Tecond. Chiffon Squaw third by a half
length. II was q bunch finish and
beautiful race throughout, the exciting
finish bringing the crowd to its feet
with frenzied cheers for Mordecai and
iAiglon Time, l.23.
The first race, sixteen flrlongs, won
~ 10 and Out johnson up, also
brought out plenty Of class. The fea-
ure was the splendid fight made by
Merry Lad, Jones up, who. after got.
ing away TO a bad start. trailed the
eaders for eight furlongs and then,
with a beautiful dash, passed Dan
gerheld Hartmann up and Lady Lin
len. Kleitz up. and pressed Merry
Lad hard at the wire, capturing sec
md money by three-qusrters Of a
length. Time-1.28
Glow Rose, Jones up, sprang a sur
prise IN the third race, eight fur
longs. aud after trailing Lady Del,
Brown up. who got away 20 a good
ytart from the post, rapidly closed
he breach at the second furlong and
poked her nose under the wire a win
ner by a length at the finish. Slim
Princess. with Hartmann u9, looked
Ike a winner and found several back
ers, but she found the going heavy
and although she fought hard, finally
passing Sis Gray, Bell up, was able
70 finish only a poor third. Lady Del
