The track was greatly improved, and throughout yi\$F~ J^ E^e **me maa<e was excellent. The racing was fairly good one of the finishes being calculated to infuse enthusiasm into a Peruvian mum- my. Hennessy carried off the rid- ing honors of the day, piloting two winners to victory. Pinkney rode old Regal in a victor, with odds of 15 to 1 against him. Sullivan made a great finish with Lonnie B., the old mare getting home less than two inches in front of Tiliie S., who got away last.

Then Gallant shot by her, and graduallv in- creasing his lead, won easily by three lengths, Miss Ruth being second, as far from Niagara, who just nipped Flir- tilla by a nose. Nutwood led in the mile race until the half was reached, Rear Guard, the favorite, soon thereafter took charge of affairs, leading by a small margin into the homestretch, and winning handily by three parts of a length from Auleuil, who came very fast down the homestretch. De La Guerra plainly fouled Nutwood in the homestretch and the latter was rightly given third place. Lonnie B. won the fourth race by the narrowest of margins in the very last stride, Tiliie S. getting the place by a neck from Trix, who was but half a length in front of Gordius.
