164 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



SIXTH DAY. 



It was something like an old time Fair, for the weather was fine, with a 

 restive force of caloric power that, toward the afternoon, made many a vis- 

 itor yearn for a sharp zephyr, or for the shady side of the inclosure, and then 

 there was some enthusiasm shown in two of the running races that cul- 

 minated to a fierce heat during the close contested heats of the pacing race. 



The Sunny Slope Stake for two-year old fillies inaugurated the day's 

 proceedings, the conditions being $25 each, $10 forfeit, with $150 added, a 

 dash of five furlongs. The entries were Mollie C apron, Moonlight, Eda, 

 Fedora, and Edelweiss, the latter being a prominent favorite at $100 to 

 $25 for all the others. It was- some time before the starter could get his 

 horses on even terms, but at last he succeeded, and the five fillies sped for 

 the open at a merry gait, the favorite being the first to draw away from the 

 others, with Mollie almost on even terms, until nearing the Grand Stand, 

 both Moonlight and Fedora passed her in the order mentioned, but they 

 could never close on Edelweiss, who won a clever race in 1:03.

The Golden Gate Stake, for three-year olds, $50 each, play or pay, with 

 $350 added, a dash of a mile and three quarters, was looked upon as such

 there was no betting, and Arthur H won in a big gallop in 3:13|, Constel- 

 lation a poor second, but yet securing the $100 second money.

The third race was seven furlongs and repeat, for a free purse of $300, 

 for which at first Johnny Grey had the call in the betting, but later On 

 Rondo and Joe Chamberlain were the favorites as the field at $50, to $30. 

 Rondo was scarcely in the race, and was retired to the stable after the 

 second heat, under the rules; so the affair was left to the gray and to Joe. 

 Johnny Grey managed to secure the first heat in 1:31 3, after a rattling 

 finish that seemingly was too fast for him, as Chamberlain secured' the two 

 following heats and race in 1:33| and 1:37^.
