Close of the Reeular Season of Sport—Large Fields of Horses Compete in Nearly All the Races—Several Surprises Sprung. EIGHTY-SIXTH DAY—FRIDAY, MAT 14. There was one large surprise in store for race-goers this afternoon, and that was the win of Atticus in the first race. Against his chances the bookies freely laid 20 to 1, and sev- eral hung up 30 to 1 against the Flambeau gelding's chance of winning. All the other winners were well played, espe- cially Dick, Sallie Clicquot and Una Colorado. Claudiana* the red-hot favorite in the first race, won easily by Atticus' just did manage to beat such a poor one as Cheridah a nose for the place. Nebuchadnezzar, the game pony of the Elm- wood Farm, shouldered his 109 lbs. and won the second by a very short head from another pony, Mollie R., Sam Leake the Btrong second choice, winding up "; Alma won the third in fine style, and Anabasis ought to have been second, but Taranto, the favorite, nosed him out. Dick beat the gate a bit in the fourth and was not headed, Lord Mar- mion finishiog second and the 100 to 1 shot, St. Calatine* third. Treachery took the fifth after a drive with Japonica' and Billy McCloskey, a poor third, was declared a cadaver by those claiming to have superior knowledge. Sallie Clicquot just las'ed to win the mile race, sixth on the programme, but had a good strong finish been made on imp. Trance she would have won beyond any doubt. Una Colorado, heavily played at 5 and 6 to 1, took the last in race horse style, being cut off and forced to run around his horses. King William finished second, ahead before the 150 to 1 shot, Marionette. Freeman and Clawson rode two winners apiece. The first race was for three-year-olds, six furlongs, selling. Flambeauetie led to the homestretch, Atticus, Viking, Widow Jones and Claudiana well up. Atticus came fast in the home
