Some Fine Sport on the Association's Half-Mile Track. This was a delightful day for racing, with cleur skies, an invigorating breeze and mag- nificent track. The attendance was quite good, the grand stand being packed to reple- tion, principally with children, this bemg chiidren’s day. The crowd about the track, 100, was very large and enthusiastic, while the quarter-stretch was filled with vehicles. The first event on the card was the 2:48 trot, urso 800 The following horses respondod tho tap the bell, for the tart: DPote G mr Governess, Bond D'Or d GoldenW ing. They drew positions in the order named, and on the third scoring got off well together with the pole horse holding slight advantage, which he increased by a length at the first quarter and three at the third. Bend D'Or second, Governess third and Golden Wing last. In this position they came under the wirc, Golden Wing barely saving her distance. 'Time, 2:25; There was considerable 'dificulty experi enced in getting off for the secoud heat, and on the fourth scoring, just after the judges' stand lad been passed, the sulkics of Gov- pruess and Gardner collided, and 1t looked for o moment as 1f Bob Kneebs, the driver of vorncss, would bo seriously hurt. His wulky came within an ace of going over, but fortunately did not do so, and after changing sylkics tho horses came out again and after a uble of scormgs succeeded in getting a autiful seud-off, Gardner pulled to the front almost immediately and at the first querter led by a length, Bend D'Or second and Governess third. In rounding into the balf Governess took second place. Gardner here broke, but instead of losing gained. Notwithstanding this advantage the little brown mare kept well upon his neck without s skip in the whole mile, and came under the & but & Liead in the rear of the fiery Garahor, awith Bend D'Or with his' noso. i their wheels and Golden Wing a length in the rear, On account of Governess' square work and the extreme closeness of the finish, the judyes award the heat to the brown mare, and Pete Garduer second, Bend D'Or taird and Golden Wing lust. Time—2:351¢. A fine send off was made for the third heat, daylight barely showing between the sulkies s they passed the quarter post, with Gov- rness in the van, Golden g second, Pete Gardner third gand Bend 1’Or last. They trotted finely in this order under the wire at the half. n approaching tho three-quarters Golden g displaced the brown mare, as did Garduer, while Bend D'Or came climbing up nt a rattling pace. Pete Garduer was given the silic at the head of the stretch and by a beautiful spurt passed Golden Wing and took ret. And right here Bend D'Or showed the Enn Stuff there is 1n him by rushing by Gov- erness and Golden Wing and challenging Garduor for first honors. He was hardly suf- ficient for the task, and Pete beat him out by shouider, with Golden Wing third and the Prown mare last. Time—2:003g. For o change the horses got off well to- her in the fourth, but betore the quarter reached thoy were stretched out with Gardner in the lead, Governess second, Bend D'Or third and Golden Wing third, "These tions were maintained until the three uartors was passed when Bend D'Or pulled p to second nlace.

Chicago 5, Omaha 1. The game botween the Omahgs and Chicawos yesterday was witnessed by a very attenuated crowd.

Drink Malto, 25 centsa bottle. ————— The Armor of the Monitor “Puritan.” The armor of the *‘Puritan”is thicker than that of two-thirds of the armored ships of France or England, from wh it will be seen that she is by comp: son a formidable ship. Another point is that the “Puritan” presents such a small target for an enemy’s guns, Her side, only thirty inches out of the water, will be difficult to hit, and her turrets, cireular in shape and only nine feet above the water line, presents but little surface. Foreign ironclads, particu- larly those that have more armor than the “Puritan,” have immense hulls from twenty to thirty feet out of water, thus presentinga target about ten times as large as the “Puritan.” The latter will evidently have a greatadvantage in this respect, since most shot that strike short will ricochet harmlessly over deck, whereas they would pierce the side of any other vessel. The moni- tors are compiaritively slow, the speed varying from eleven to thirteen knots, but, being intended merely for coast de- peed isnot 8o important, since light draught,’ fourteen to eigh- teen eol, enables them to take advan- tage of shoal water and thus choose their distance from more powerful opponents. - Tit For Tat.
