THE RACES. — ———b — ee Gabriel Wins the Club Purse and Babcock the Jockey Club Stakes. The Third Race Won by Gen. Pike—The Crowd—The Ladies—Gen. Grant and Chauncey I. Filley. There were some anxious inquiries around the turf headquarters this morning as to the condition of the track. It rained very hard in the city shortly after daybreak and there was some speculation as tothe pqssibilities of mud horses this afternoon. Several horsemen made a personal inspection of the course and came tothe conclusion that the amount of rain fall was not excessive,jand thatthe con- dition was better than yesterday, if anything. The stablemen added their testimony that the shower was a light one, scarcely sufficient to interfere with the morning’s work of the thoroughbreds. The 1am was in every respect a blessing, for while the track was improved the dust on all the thoroughfares leading to Cote Brilliante, which has been almost intolerable, was down- ed and the temperature very considerably lowered. SPECULATION ON TO-DAY’S EVENTS. A glance over the programme for to-day snowed that there was promise of better sport than that which characterized Monday and Tuesday. There was more even classing of horses, andin each of the three races there were uncertainties. Inno way arethe pros- sects of the afternoon better indicated than y the business at the turf headquarters in the early portion of the day. This morning there was lively bidding for favorites and second and third choices, and more money was put up than on Monday and Tues- day together. For the mile and three-quar-« ters Gabriel led at 800, Liatunah $160, Callao $100, Matagorda $25, Pope Leo B, Beeswing $5. For the three-quarters dash Cottrill’s entries, Babcock and Harry Gilmore, sold at $350, Let- tina $220, Ballard $75, Boatman $60, Balancer $30, Billy Spink $15, Stanton $10. 3 In the mile heats Pike was the favorite at $150; Boulevard, $115; Pacific, $55; Mary Anderson, $10. DIDN’T KNOW THE HORSES. Gen. Stark, the starter, did better yesterday afternoonthan on Monday, when he left Ga- briel at the post, but it was the judge’s turn to blunder. In the last race Gen. Rowett and Pacific had the prettiest kind of a contest down the home stretch for second place. Pa- cific got under the wire by a nose the leader, but, in announcing the result the judges gave third place to Sinbad. The placing didn’t affectthe betting, butGen. Rowett, who felt a good deal of pride in his namesake’s performance, expressed his disappointment in vigorous language. The error was pointed out to the judge but there-wrs no . knowledzinent of it. HOW ECKER GOT LEFT. All is not as harmonious in the management as might be. Those who lingered after the close of the races last night heard some loud language in the vicinity of the club office. It seems that Sam Ecker hadintended to make an entry for one of to-day’s events, He was delayed in taking leave ot General Grant, and when he went to the oftice to name his starter the time had expired. Although Ecker owns the track the rules were enforced against him and he expressed himself forcibly. A LACK OF HARMONY. There has been more than one hitch between Ecker and the club, and President Hunt has not been entirely satisfied with the arrange- ments of the manager. Some words were ex- changed yesterday and Col. Hunt intimated that a resignation or two might be in order unless there was a change. The club is composed ot patrons of the sport. The track is mankged from the money-making standpoint. Under such relations some clashing can hardly be avoided. It is freely predicted that there will be a radical{change inſthe management before another meeting is held. Aranza. Special to the Post-Dispatch. PACE TRACK, ST. Louis, June §.—The Club announces an extra race for to-morrow tora purse of $250. It Will be ik sclling race, the conditions the same as yesterday’s. W. H. Johnson, of Nashville,is at the track making arrangcments to take Aranza away to-night. He paid the forfeits inthe Merchants Stake and Citizens’ Plate. The terms of sale to Pierre Lorillard were agreed upon as given yesterday. The filly goes at once to the Rancocas stock farm. Who Were There. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RACE TRACK, June 8.—The ladies’ portion of the gran dstand is better filled than on yester- day, but there is stilla void of empty benches. Miss Cora Baker is out in a white suit and is the acknowledged belle of the stand." She is aceompanied by Mr. Gus. Chou- teau. Miss Nellie Hazletine is sitting near her, escorted by Mr. Fred. W. Paramore. Both ladies are constantly surrounded coterie of admirers. Among other ladies present are Miss Miss Adele Morrison, Miss Mamié Morrison, Miss Floyd of Kentucky, Miss Carr, Mis3 Hop- kins, Miss Fannie Wickham, Miss Darby, Miss Papin, Miss Scott, Miss Esteil Dixon, Mrs. Ellis Wainwright, Mrs. Howard Blossom and Mrs. Judge Laughlin. In the quarter stretch to-day are M.A.Rosen- blatt, Dan Houser, Wayman McCreery, Arthur Lee, E. C. Cabell, Chief Sexton, John Lind- Charles Green, A. R. Taylor, Burkhardt, Chas. F.

Filley have just arrived and are tuning the second race from the judges’ stand, Preparing for the Start. §pecial to the Post-Dispatch. - ACE TRACK, St. Lovis, June 8.—At 2:50, the hour for starting the sport, the prospect of at- tendance was fair. Twelve hundred people were scattered apout the stand, stretch and pool ground. There was very little betting on the first race. An attempt was mace to iche tield at $50, with $100 on Ga- briel, but failed. With Gabriel out Liatunah sold at $100, Callao $75, Pope Leo 15, field $15. Grant Pleased. Special to the Post-Dispatch. : Reck TrRacK, June 8.—During the inten between the second and third races Lorillard’s new acquisition, Aranza, was led down infront of the grand stand. Gen. Grant com- mented upon her fine points to the officers of the club. The General expressed himself as greatly pleased with the sport, and intimated that he might remain here till the end of the week, and if he did so will probably be a daily visitor at Cote Brilliante. ——— —„ The Ladies Sigh. e conc — that it caused little interest. d race, however, the contest was — a sigh went up and won. Before the heat race which closed the day, the betting ran very high, with Gen. Pike as a universal favorite. A pool just before the start stood: — $225, Boalevard $110, Held $40. e knowing ones seemed to think that Pike’s * would prevent his repeating, but thisis disbelieved by the crowd, who con- tinued to back him. Grant declared that Boulevard looks like a winner, and that he would be willing to back him. The Citizens’ Plate. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RACE TRACK, June8.—Blanche J., Lizzie S., Jim Murphy and Alexis are declared out in the Citizens’ Plate handicap to be run Mon- day. Aranza has paid forfeit in the same race. as Gabriel passed To-Day’s Events.

RACE TRACK, ST. LOUIS anxiety of Beeswing an Pope Leo to getaway caused two or three false starts, during which Gabriel persistently stood with his face the wrong way, just as he did on Monday. His trainer faced him about and he went prematurely along with Liatunah and Matagorda. When he was stopped the favorite refused to go back to the starting point and had to be led. They got off finally with Gabriel a — in the lead and Callao left at the post. he other four came down the homestretch well to- gether, all under a strong pull. Gabriel yielded to the bit and let Liatunah in front—a posi- tion she maintained all the wa around the lower turn. Up the back strete Beeswing — boehin, dwhile Gabriel went upon the leader, Pope Leo and Matagorda running well for third lace. On the upper turn the contest began and lasted all the way in, while the grand stand rang with cheers. It was as pretty i finish as one could wish to see. At the last furlong polethe gray showed just in front of IAatunah, while Matagorda pushed outinto the centre of the track and came down with a splendid burst of speed. Liatunah was forced to relinquish first and then second place, coming in a good third. Indeed the three were lapping each other under the wire. Beeswing aad Pope Leo were unplaced, the first being last. Time,2:13\%. The capture of second place by Matagorda was a surprise. SECOND RACE. Jockey Club Stakes, for two-vear old colts and fillies, of $50 each, h. f.; with $500 added, of which $100 to second, third to save stake; three-quarters of a mile. Wm.

Louis, June 8.—Lettina de- veloped as the favorite in the pools, selling at $150, Cottrill’s Babcock and Gilmore bringing $)20 and the tield $55. Ballard and Balancer were drawn. Aftera single false start the six got away well to- gether. Before the half- mile pole was reached Lettina had pulled out in the lead four lengths and kept it to the three-quarter pole. Then both of Cottrill’s entries pulled out from the bunch and came up fast onthe home stretch. Bab- cock easily pwent ahead of athe . and Gil- more came under the wire close to her heels. The others finished away back. Time 117. It was a sharp contest and well enjoyed. THIRD RACE. Cub purse, $350 forall ages; $300 to first and $50 to second; mile heats. W. S.

PIKE WINS THE FIRST HEAT. Special to the Post-Dispatch. Rack TRACK, June 8.—Gen. Pike was a hot favorite before the first heat, selling at 9250, Boulevard $130 and the fleld $50. The horses got off at the first start, Mary Anderson and Pike having slightly the best of it. Onthe back stretch Pacific tried to-take the second place from the favorite and kept along side for half a mile. On the turn into the home stretch Pike easily took the lead and came under the wire bya length, Anderson a close second. Bouleyard was held in all the way round and only ridden to save his distance. Time, 1 3, PIKE WINS THE SECOND HEAT. Special] to the Post-Dispatch. RACE Track, June 8.—After the first heat in the third race Pike, was a universal favorite, selling at $325 against $100 for the field. The friends of Boulevard claimed that he was ridden a waiting race and would show up in the secone heat. At the second start they went off for the clos- ing heat, Vacific leaping into the lead. It was the prettiest contest of the meeting. They went around the lower turn in a bunch and on the back stretch divided into pairs, Pachicand Boulevard in front. After passing the halt mile Boulevard showed in front a neck, at the three quarter Pike und Anderson came up and the four rode so that a blanket would coverthem. Entering the home-stretch whip and spur were plied on all but Pike. The favorite came tothe front and increased the lead; Pacitic finished second, Anderson third.
