In the2:3S class it was the intention of the management to start all of the twenty- four entries, but some of the horsemen con- cluded that it would be more satisfactory to divide tne number, and this was done. Owingto the rain on Thurday moruing the track was 4 bit heavy in places, but not bad. Fuir time was made in all the contests. Todiy some of the_best races of the week will take place, The 2:38 trotting class will be fivished, then there will be - free-for-all pace, the free-forall stallions will go, and the 30 trot is an attractive feature, The centries for this race in particular are noted horses and will make a race that canot elp but be juteresting.

After starter Barston hud threatened to fine both the driver who went shead and the driver who was behind the polo Tors the contestants got off, Labasco was a fayorite, Ho took the lead shortly after leaving the wire and held it to the finish. Blue Charlie was a lovely seq ond and made the race interesting, Glimour aud John W were both outside the distance wle when Labasco went uuder the wire, but considering the fact that the horses' had scored s0 often and the start was unsatisfac- tory, the judges decided to let the two lead lorses start in the second het.

The argiments inthe Burke damige case were concluded at 40'clock yesterday afte noon, butthe case will not be given tothe jury until this morning atthe regularhour of opening court. Nearly allof the jurymenare gray headed, and several of themare quite infirm. The case has been on trial nearly twoweeksand the jurymen bave had a hard seigeof it, In view of these facts Julge Macey, with thoughtful consideration, re- frained from reading his instrictions to the Jury, thus velioving themof the aecessity of taking the case under consideration atthe close of court last evening and being robbed of their rest for the night or until they reached averdict. The instructions will be given this moring and they will vetive tothe jury roomafter having hd o gool night's rest, and will be much better able to c sider all the intricate points and the mass of testimony that has been poured intothem The case will remain for perhaps miny years the mostimportantand ably contested that the Pottawattamie bie has ever Known.
