FOURTH DAY. 



This day being set for the ladies' race, in addition to the awarding 

 of stock premiums, brought an early assemblage. A'^ehicles of all 

 classes came and monopolized the space allotted to El Nino Eddie, 

 the wonderful tight rope man. 



The ladies appeared early; thoroughbreds had taken the place of 

 the plodding plow nags they had used in exercise. Some comment 

 was made on account of Miss Lawrence's changes being saddled with 

 mien's paraphernalia; the Judges ruled side-saddles in order and 

 increased her popularity by her rapid compliance with th e order. Miss 

 Chilson was second favorite; being finely mounted she figured well in 

 the pool box, but it was evident from the beginning that Mrs. Blacklaw 

 was no match for either of her opponents. Miss Chilson was the favor- 

 ite to the end of the sixth mile, when she fell from her horse, was 

 lightly bruised, but discontinued the race, permitting Miss Lawrence 

 to win easily, she showing herself to be a fearless and thorough 

 horsewoman. Time for ten miles, twenty-seven minutes and four 

 seconds. 



Purse was one hundred and fifty dollars; entrance free; and every- 

 one accorded the award well placed. 



Next event for the day was a trot of 2:45 class, with six entries; 

 four showing up as starters. Again Rose's stable came to the front, 

 bringing twenty dollars to seven for the balance. An easy start was 

 effected, Carlos being outside, but he won so easily that no odds could 

 be obtained, and Valentine brought twenty dollars. Hunter eleven 

 dollars, Hardman four dollars. Carlos being such a pronounced 

 favorite deprived the race of interest, save the poor folks won money 

 in the box; Hardman getting second money.

The next race was a trot for two-year olds. Three entries had been 

 made, representing the colts of Echo, Sultail, and A. W. Richmond. 

 The Ela Hill's stock farm colt being under treatment on the sick list, 

 narrowed the race to Rose's blk. g., by Del Sur, and William Smith's 

 b. f. Queen of America. 



The filly drew the pole. After a few false starts they got off well, 

 the black colt winning the heat. 



The prestige of the Rose stable seemed to follow the colts; pools on 

 same never being closer than two to one, and dragging. The charm 

 prevailed and ended with another victory. for Sunny Slope.
