There was little in the racing of today to arouse the enthusiasm of the spectators, but in several instances criticism of horsemen was called forth. This was so marked in the second heat of the last race, the 2:05 pace, in which there were but two entries, that crowds flocked about the judges' stand, seeking knowledge as to the reason for calling the two drivers before the arbitrators.

Pittsburg, August 6.—This was a day of close finishes at the Grand Circuit races, with a fair sprinkling of horse aristocracy among the starters. Scions of the Patchen, Patch and Gentry families started in the two pacing events, but only one, Joe Patchen II, lived up to family traditions.
