Virginius was second and Rock Salt took the short end. The second race, a mile and a sixteenth, for cheap racers, was run in a driving rainstorm. The winner turned up in Maize, with Winneconne second and Daniel a distant third.

The Almoner third. A. J. Joyner saddled Richard T. Wilsons Sedgefield for the Gowanus Selling Stakes. T. J. Healey was busily engaged with his string at the Laurel track.

Edwards, secretary of the Metropolitan Jockey Club, made his first appearance since the opening day, having been confined to his home by sickness. He said it was good to be out, even on such a rainy afternoon.
