SIXTH DISTKICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. 357 



Last race of the day was running, tlirce ciiiarters of a mile for two- 

 year' olds — the second time tlic flying colts api)eared together; the dis- 

 tance half greater; eleven entries had been made. Bachelor's fast time 

 at San Jose, Rose's one half mile victory, and Baldwin's usual racing 

 popularitv, made each a favorite. Eacli brought twenty dollars to 

 ten dollars for the licld. At the call seven appeared. A line band 

 of colts, backed by entliusiastic jockeys (for a jockey suit was to go to 

 the winner's rider). Silk and top boots were worn as plentifully as 

 on an Englisii track. When the start was made it looked as though 

 a blanket, and that a small one, would cover the bunch around the 

 lower turns. Before the start every one of sporting proclivities con- 

 sidered his time to win had come. 



"Those who had bet, did bet some more; 

 Many did bet, who never bet before." 



Fifty dollars was easily had for each favorite, to forty dollars for 

 the field. It is not misstating it to say the " pool sellers were happy." 

 Again the little sorrel "Rose" was winner, but by a nose, St. David a 

 good second, the balance bunched one length in the rear. 



SUMMARY. 



District running. Three fourths of a mile dash, for two-year olds. Purse, $400.

FIFTH DAY. 



The first was a trotting race for 2:35 horses. Five entries had been 

 made — but three appeared for the start, Rose's g. g. Centre being in 

 good condition, and Major's performances in the past, caused consid- 

 erable activity in pool circles. Major sold for seventy dollars. Centre 

 forty dollars, to twelve for Lady Washington. After two scores they 

 got off well, the gray inside, Major next, and the bay mare outside. 

 Major broke badly; in fact, did everything but. trot, Rose's g. g. win- 

 ning the heat in 2:34, Lady Washington a length behind, Major dis- 

 tanced. 



Pools stopped there, Centre winning next two heats and the race, 

 and another feather for Rose's stable. 



SUMMARY. 



District trotting for 2:35 horses. Best three in five. Purse, $500.
