Exciting Close Finishes.

Although a sea of mud Wednesday,
the race track had dried out to such
an extent that it practically was fast
yesterday and the racing was exciting
for its close finishes. Gen. James A.
Buchanan, president Of the show, saw
his black colt, Catoctin, get down in
front in the opening race, which was
for three-year-olds and upward over
five-and- one-half furlong course
Gen. Buchanan's colored jockey from
Virginia, S. Turner. who plotted
Catoctin to victory, also rode Currer
Belle, Frederick McElhone's fast
mare, which won the two-mile steep
lechase at the end of the program.
