354 TRANSACTIONS OP THE 



SECOND DAY. . 



The meritorious performance of opening day brought a large 

 attendance; it was gala day indeed. Brave men and handsome 

 ladies were numerous, and alike enjoyed the sport. 



The first race was a trot for three-minute horses in the district, and 

 closed with four entries, all appearing as starters. 



Rose's s. g. Don Carlos became at once such a: pronounced favorite 

 as to bar him in the pools, which proved a wet blanket, judging from 

 a betting standpoint. After the usual scoring a good start was effected, 

 Carlos winning easily in 2:45, Hunter second, Hardman third, and 

 E, R distanced. Second heat was a repetition of the first. Hunter 

 won the third heat, but the time was too fast, as Carlos took the 

 fourth heat and race in the usual time and with ease.

Second race was running; one half mile and repeat; for graded 

 horses in the district; closed with five entries. Before the horses 

 were called, Dottie Dimple and Woodberry brought ten dollars each, 

 to six dollars for the other two. Jennie G was protested on the 

 grounds of pedigree and ownership. Taken under advisement, but 

 Judges permitted the mare to run, their decision to affect the purse and 

 not the pools. After numerous efforts and consuming much time a 

 start was effected ; Dottie Dimple inside, Jennie G second. Eclipse third, 

 and Woodberry outside, Jennie winning the heat. The Judges, to save 

 time, called up the trotters in the special race for Kenniston & Brazel- 

 ton's Nellie Monroe, by Inca; Tempest, by Sultan, and Kate Bender. 

 After the tiresome work of a dozen scores, a good start was made, 

 Nellie winning the heat in 2:54. 



The pools showed her a favorite, but the morrow had much to 

 reveal; darkness had come. Two unfinished races, the stock- parade, 

 the ladies' ten mile race, added to the balance of a good programme, 

 was a guarantee for a crowd. , 



THIRD DAY. 



Wednesday, the third day, brought it, and as early as ten o'clock it 

 did not require much stretch of imagination to carry one to Jerome 

 Park. The parade was a success and will long be remembered by every 

 lover of fine stock ; it comprised more animals, worth more money, 

 and possessing better blood, than had ever been collected within one 

 inclosure in this part of the State before. The unfinished running 

 race of Tuesday was first called. Jennie G's performance made the 

 field, which included Eclipse, jump to favorite place, for fifty dollars 

 to thirty dollars for both the others.
