have jerved jeered well enough for cooling purposes were one ensconsed ensconced beneath a tree but hardly up to the require ¬ ments aments of a bald grand stand The aggregate amount of wool in the weariug wearing apparel of the Harlem crowd could easily have been furnished by the pelt of a single sheep and a black derby hat was as scarce an article as a bright bay mule while the amount of crash in womens omens dress skirts and mens means outing suits would indicate that bar an extra turn at the mills toweling would soon take a jump in price Everybody had on as little clothing as meets the requirements of civilization but no one could say I am comfortable Yet the game went merrily on for racing of all sports keeps its votary in the air to the exclusion of all personal considerations Liquor has no bad effect on racegoers racehorse then what chance has heat The card promised little but the attendance eld geld up to the average averageJudge average Judge Tarvin Arvin was made an

an easy second from Pat Clb Club burne burned who got up in time to beat Native Son Willie Howard was close up upVirginia umpiring Virginia Bradley helped out the bookmakers by the win of Plantain The quaint horse owner bet a few dollars straight and show on his horse and remarked I think if I had done enough with him he would win Plan ¬ tain stain led all the way although through the last eighth it was dingdong between him and fleorge flexor Krats Rats who was just beaten The favor ¬ ite bite had always been close up in a good position and if Knight had started sooner he might possibly have won As it was ho did not hurry his horse until well into the home stretch Branch was second at the half mile ground Deyo Defy was third until the last fifty yaras arras where Wilson passing her got the third money The last named horse was strongly backed it being said that the St Louis trip had im proved him J McDonald on Wilson rode a waiting race saved all the ground he could but didnt didn't have the goods Globe II was close up until the middle of the upper turn but finally was beaten off as were Oelian Olin and Branch BranchImp Brachium Imp reported to have worked threequarters treasurers in 1 14 was bet on at 4 to 1 at the opening and receded to 3 to 1 but George Rose soon went after Imp money and hoisted 41 to 1 against Brossmaus Trousseaus mare Flora Louise opened at 6 to

erosive stayed in company foi foci a quarter The lead was at once assumed by Eugenia Wickes Wickets and she was not headed winning by three open lengths from Flora Louise second all the way Imp third was three lengths behind Flora Louise and at no part of the journey was much closer Into the straight Tenole Ennoble gave Imp an argument but at the finish he was beaten by Lady Callahan who probably ran as good a race as Flora Louise LouiseNow Louise Now came an event of the kind which having the elements of real racing everyone likes to bet on and witness Here were four horses rid ¬ den by competent jockeys although it might be objected that such definition would not apply to Holden Olden who rode Fervor People could breathe easy as to the fear of danger to the midget Reiff Riff who handled the favorite Hugh Penny and indeed with such a small fluid it is always safe to wager that no accident will occur and the best horse be returned the winner Hugh Penny opening at evenb even went to 7 to 10 and then advanced to his original price and there was a strong steady play on every horse in the race That the race should have been spoiled by an unforseen unforeseen occurrence is lament ¬ able Starter Dwyer had a hard time in catch ¬ ing King the horses in a line Satsuma breaking away and the others being none too tractable at the post Finally as Assistant Starter McKnight Mocking led and pulled Satsuma back of the barrier the other boys started to break but noting that J McDonald on Satsuma could not get off with the others Reiff Riff Holden Olden and H Martin pulled their horses nearly to a standstill when go on shouted Dwyer and dropped his ffag fag Hugh Penny was the more nearly on his stride and he led off with three open lengths of a start in the first sixteenth This he held over Fer Fear ¬ vor or all the way and won without urging Dunois Dubois got to Fervor on the upper turn but was easily beaten by Arthurs Arthur horse for the place Satsuma was always hopelessly out of it As Dwyer walked across the track he was roundly hissed but his host of friends stood off the disapproval by hand clapping and cheers A sun shower burst forth as Dwyer made his bobble and the shout went up He has brought on the rain As a matter of j course there wa s much ill feeling caused by the accidental start and reckless accusations were floated but an old horseman said The jockeys should be fined heavily for pulling up There is no excuse for their so doing when a recall flag is used usedJolly seedily Jolly Roger had been touted into such favor itism its that the 4 to 5 first offered was eagerly snapped at but the parties first to get on had the worst of it as the bookmakers had the tip thatRush tarbush had an excellent chance and the money of her owners friends coming in Jolly Rogers price was raised to 6 to 5 and he landed at 11 to 10 McDowells McDowell filly being backed from 21 to 1 down to 2 to 1 The horses were off well together but Jolly Roger a slow breaker was so outrun that in the first threesixteenths he was four li ngtus Angus behind Canace Cancel she lapped on Boney Bony Boy who was an open length away from Rush The latter quick on her feet had taken command and this she never relinquished winning pulled up by several lengths It was a great finish for the place Canace Cancel and Bouey Buoy Boy had had it hot and heavy from the head of the straight and at the final sixteenth they were collared bj J lly ally Roger the three run ¬ ning Ming locked to the wire Jolly Roger was sec ¬ ond bond Canace Cancel third thirdThere
