THIRD DAY. 



At the Park on Wednesday the hue weather and promise of sport 

 attracted an attendance of eight thousand people. The first event 

 on the card was the Maturity Stake for four-year olds, for which Duke 

 of Monday walked over for the forfeits. The second was for the two- 

 year olds, Is miles, the first race at that distance for two-year olds 

 ever run in this country. The starters were Shenandoah, Sweetbriar, 

 Bachelor, and E. J. Baldwin's Grin stead — sister to Clara D, filly. 

 The Palo Alto representative was a great favorite in the pools; the 

 aggregate being Shenandoah one hundred dollars, Bachelor twenty 

 dollars, field eighteen dollars. The starters exercised more care than 

 they did on the first day, and the ambitious youngsters got away on 

 even terms, Sweetbriar taking the front place under a strong pull, 

 and they were around the turn and down the backstretch in a line, 

 Sweetbriar first, Bachelor second, Shenandoah third, and the Santa 

 Ana colt last. Around the lower turn Shenandoah wound up to 

 second place and they came into the straight at a fast pace. Up the 

 stretch whips were drawn and the finish was a game and futile effort 

 to head Sweetbriar. Before they were half way home Bachelor fell 

 back beaten, Sweetbriar came under the wire with something to 

 spare, Shenandoah second by a length, the Baldwin filly third. Bach- 

 elor last. Time, 2:58*.
