May 19.—There was little to en- thuse about on this, the second day's racing of the season here to-day. ‘The card was very ordinary, made up of small fields, Friday, however, is an off day on the track, and this may explain the lack of both quality and quantity in the flelds, There is a growing belief, however, that horse- men, with the more pretentious stakes in view, aro holding back their en- tries for the coming Belmont meet- ing.
