Tho sttendance was very small, vory rough lu appeatance, nnd very disorderly in_condut, and tho time mado was much slowor than what was antlclpated. As & mattor of fact, thore was not » singlo creditable feature in the entortainmiont, and owing to tho fuexcusable dilntoriness of tho Judgos tho deciding heat of ono of tho races could not bo trotted, daskness soming on, and had to be postponed watil this, Torouoon. Mr. Muusur might s well bo told motw as at any othor time Lhat tho prosenco of n erowd of Stock-Yards rowdios, whon it is made B0 offoneively promineut as it was yostorday, will not bo tolerated by respectable and ordarly poople. Of conrso, thoy aro ontitied to oll the privileges that thoir monoy will buy, but they should bo compelled to behavo themsolvos and Xkcop within proper bounds, whather the numbhor of spectators bo great or smnll, ‘Tho first raco was biatwoon A, H, Duok's chost- nut mare Hattie, Graves & Loomis' bay gelding Boy Houry, and Aloek Lowls' chestnut golding Jerome, for an ingide stake of 260 cach and sa addition by tho Association of $300, Mr, Buck's wmnre was tho favorito againut tho flold in such paols ag wore sold, and, as sho proved to bean oasy Winner io threo steaight boats, it is searcely necoesary to give more thau an outline of the race.

A break by each on the hack- stratel did not altor the positions much, and as Heory olgo oft his feet ho did not gain_any ground, When all steadied down to work, Hat- iln went two lengths or 8o to the front st tho alf, Jorome buing socond, and four lengths in -advances of Bay Honry, aud they trotted homo in tho samo order, the time belug 2:323;, Tho atart for tho socond hoat was & good one.
