NINTH DAY. 



The closing day brought a continuation of the remarkably fine 

 weather that had prevailed from the commencement. The attend- 

 ance was fair, though smaller than the preceding days, many visitors 

 having left on the Saturday train. In the morning occurred the 

 stock parade, in which were displayed the premium ribbons. In the 

 afternoon the first on the programme was a yearling trot, in which 

 started Transit, Trovato, Senator, and Rajah. The positions were as 

 above,_and in the pool sales Transit brought $80, Rajah $40. and the 

 field $24. The start was even, the favorite taking the lead and 

 retaining it until after passing the half-mile in 1:27L Soon after- 

 ward he broke, when Senator passed him, and at the three-quarters 

 Rajah had the lead. From thence the strife was between Transit 

 and Rajah, but. Transit breaking at the distance. Rajah came away 

 and won by three lengths; Transit second, Senator third, Travato 

 last. Time, 2:55, which is the fastest record ever made by a yearling 

 in an actual race.

The second race was for two-year olds, heats of a mile. The only 

 starters were Lohengrin and Kismet. Kismet was so greatly the 

 choice as to bring $200 to $24 on Lohengrin. Kismet had a slight 

 advantage when the bell sounded, while Lohengrin made up and 

 took the lead on the turn, and, notwithstanding a couple of breaks, 

 he was two lengths in the lead at the quarter-pole in 40 seconds, but 

 making a bad break Kismet was at the half-mile first in 1:17L From 

 thence Kismet never lost the advantage, winning by three lengths 

 in 2:362. The second heat Kismet was driven to beat the two-year 

 old stallion record, 2:32i, which stood to the credit of Stein way. This 

 he succeeded in accomplishing very handsomely, going to the quarter 

 in 39 seconds, to the half in 1:16, and the mile in 2:301.
