THE DAILY EXAMINER,

THE CIRCULT RACES,

Opening of the Charlottetown Driv-, ing Park,

THe managers of the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park are to be congratulated upon the success which attended their opening races yesterday. They made arrangements for good sport, and carried out their plans in a very praiseworthy manner. The only drawback was the rain shower late in the a'ternoon which necessitated the postpone- ment of the three-year-old race after the first heat was trotted. The attendance of spectators was not, however, so large as was expected; but the gathering was a very representative one. Among those present Were many persons prominent in Church and State and there was also a fair sprink]- ing of ladies.

Shortly before two o'clock His Honor Lieutenant-Governor Carvell, in a few ap- propriate remarks, formally opened the

‘ark, He was tollowed by His Worship Mayor Haviland who complimented the management very highly upon the success that had attended their efforts in fitting up such a splendid place jor the development aiid improvement of horses for the breeding which the Island has long been famed. The President of the Company, C. C. Gardiner,

—

Esq., then made a brief speech. After cheering for His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and the Directors, the Citizens

Band played ‘‘God Save the Queen,” and the The track was in excellent con the heavy rain of Tuesday night.

tirst half was trotted by Kittie C. in 1.15.

Whistler went ahead in fine style, and Neptune did his best to overtake him, bat without success. Kittie C., who had ap- parently not yet recovered from her break, was severa! lengths in the rear. This order was maintained until after the half mile was trotted, when Kittie thought it was time she was doing something, and, settling down to her work, sailed ahead at a lively pace. Before the three-quarter pole was reached she gave Neptune the cold shoulder and started in after Whistler

First Heat—After several scores, the horses were given a good send off. Shortly after the start, Maud C. took the lead with Melbourne King second and Maud M. third. By the time the quarter was reach- Maud C. had increased her lead over Mel- bourne considerably, but between the quarter and the half the latter lessened the

distance between himself and his St. John Opponent a good deal. For the remaining half mile Melbeurne King kept on slowly bur surely, drawingnearer to Maud C., who

Maud M wasa poor third. Maud C. trotted the half in

ed, Melbourne King also gave Maud M. the | go-by and sailed gamely for Maud C., with Maud M. Close behind. Melbourne King kept on, lessening the distance between himself and Maud C., and at the three- quarter there was a very pretiy contest for first place between the two. This contest was continued until the finish—both horses trotting beautifully—Maud C. winning the heat by a throat-lash only. Time, 2.39. The half wasdone by Maud ©. in 2.15.

Third Heat.—Maud M. had a slight lead at the start, but at the first turn Maud C. began to poke her nose ahead of the Char- lottetown Maud, who was asc passed in turn by Melbourne King, and by the time the quarter was reached had a good lead | over both. Between the quarter and the half the second and third horses gained | upon the St. John representative, and they passed the half pretty well bunched Maud ©. leading with Melbourne King at her wheel, and Maud M. a few feet in the rear. Maud M. began to forge ahead slightly between the half and the three quarters, but Melbourne held his own very well. Coming up splendidly on the home- stretch, the latter finished a good second-~ Maud C. winning by a few feet only. Maud M., who did not do so well in the last half as in the first, finished several lengths in the rear. Time 2.41.

THREE YEAR OLD CLASS This was the clesing event of the day.

One heat ouly was trotted because of rain, The remainder will be trotted on Thurs- | day afternoon. ‘The starters were Lady | Chief, owned by Robert Fitzsimmons, Long River, driven by Ronald Steele; Chart- reuse, owned A, B. Etter, Amherst and driven by Charles Wescott, and Hermit,

owned and driven by A. N. Large, of Charlottetown. Frst Heat.—-The horses were sent off

pretty well bunched, after scoring several times. Between the starting point and the quarter, Lady Chief took the lead, with Chartreuse a good second and Hermit in the rear. At the half Lady Chief and Chartreuse were almost neck and neck, but the Lady got tired of the latter’s company and drew away at a lively pace, putting several lengths between herself and rival before the three-quarter pole was reached. Hermit was still struggling in the rear. This order was maintained to the finish. Lady Chief won by several lengths, with Chartreuse second. Wheu Lady Chief passed under the wire Hermit was on the wrong side of the distance flag. Time, 2.47. Lady Chiet trotted the half in 1.28, ODDS AND ENDS.

The excellence of the track was the sub- ject of much favorable comment on the part of the horsemen from abroad. They say it is superior to any course in the maritime pro- vinces, and fully equal to any of the half- mile tracks elsewhere.

After the second heat of the three-year- old race, Mr. J. C. Mahon, of Truro, gave an exhibition of speed with his two-year- oidcoit Emma F. Mr. Newton Lee ac- companied him with his grey mare Nellie. The exhibition was highly creditapie. Emma F. is by All Right, from Hernando dam.

Messrs. A. & C. Quirk supplied the re- freshments. Their booth was well stocked and their dining tables well spread.

The Citizen’s Band furnished excellent music during the proceedings.

The order throughout the day was all that the most fastidious might desire. It any one were inclined to misbehave the ap- pearance of Sergt. Bradley, mounted on a fiery charger made him change his mind in doub!e-quick time.

The constables

special spread over the field were ready for any emer- gency. But they had a soft snap. There

was no drunkemness nor drinking, neither was there any ill feeling displayed. The strict rules governing all meetings were rigidly enforced.

SECOND DAY.

This afternoon the attendance was larver than that of yesterday. The track was in excellent condition. The first event was the second heat of the three-year-old race, postponed from yesterday owing to the rain,

THREE-YE.

Second Heat.—-The starters were Lady Chief and Chartreuse. They got a goud send-off. The former took the lead shortly after the start, and atthe quarter was several lengths ahead. This order was maintiined almost to the half, when Lady Chief broke and Chartreuse lessened the space between the two. Between the half aud three-quarters both broke badly, and Chartreuse took the lead. On the home- | stretch Lady Chief hauled up well but could not pass Chartreuse, who came in first by about le 1eth

{The driver of Lady Chief protested against the heat being given to Chartreuse, claiming that she ran considerab!y on the back stretch. After deliberation, the heat was given to Lady Cnief. Time, 2.47, The half was trotted in 1.20.]

THE 2.45 CLASS was next cal'ed. The starters were Mis- take, Ratcatcher, Whistler, Kittie C., Minnie Grey and Mand M.

First Heat—-They got a poor send off on the fourteenth score. Just after the start Maud M. forged ahead, with Mistake, Kittie C. and Whistler pressing her hard.

Between the quarter and the half Kittie C. passed the two leading horses and gradually,increased her lead until the three quarter when she was almost overhauled by Mistake, who had been running a good deal during the heat. From the three quarter to the .finish the contest between Mistake and Kittie ©. was a close one, the latter coming in the winner, with Mistake almost at her wheel, and Whistler third several lengths behind. Maud M. was fourth, Rat Catcher and Minnie Gray were distanced. Second place was given Whistler owing to Mis-
