 $400. Only two horses appeared, Patsy Duffy and Garfield. Patsy 

 was the favorite at odds of $100 to $45. Garfield had a trifle the best 

 of the start and made the running. He was a length in the lead at 

 the stand in 55^ seconds, and by half a length at the completion of 

 the first mile in 1:48. Patsy moved closer on the semicircle, and was

 winning by a short neck in 2:411. The odds increased on Patsy to 

 $110 to $17 on Garfield. The start was even and the whole run very 

 even. Garfield was outside of Duffy, ran parallel and was not a foot 

 behind until one and a quarter miles had been made. A sheet would 

 have covered both horses until that time, when Patsy drew away 

 slightly, winning by half a length in 2:41.

The finishing race for the afternoon was a special purse for named 

 two-year olds. Starlight, Piedmont, Sur Del, and Addie E started. 

 Addie E won so easily in 3:06 that a description of the first heat is 

 unnecessary, Sur Del second. Starlight third, and Piedmont last. In 

 the second heat she took the lead, but breaking badly on the back- 

 stretch, Sur Del passed her. She broke again on the turn, but had 

 speed enough to overtake her competitor and beat him home, Star- 

 light third, and Piedmont fourth. Time, 3:052.
