Last Saturday afternoon brought out one of the largest crowds of the season to witness a high-class card that had been . postponed from Wednesday on account of rainy weather. It was decidedly a good move on the part of the Jockey Club to make the postponement for conditions on Saturday were ideal; a fast track pre vailed and good time was recorded in all races. Mr. F. B. Shreve is again on hand and has resumed his duties as Superintend ent and Starter. Chas. W. Picquet was at his place as Secretary, and a number of the Stewards were in the Judges stand. The Nibbs-Wright combination were conspicuously in the limelight when they sent - two winners and a second to the post. They started the day auspiciously when their High Olympus finished second to Queen of the Spa in the five and half furlong dash, and continued their suc cess with wins by Lady Betty and Melos. Queen df the Spa was an added starter, else it might have been three for the Nibbs silks. The feature offering for the day was a purse event of seven furlongs which brought out some of the best sprinters in training here. Lady Betty, from the stable of G. Nibbs, with "Wright aboard, displayed some of the high class form that marked her performances on the Canadian tracks this past summer and spread-eagled her field from flag fall to finish. Starter Shreve sent them away in perfect alignment. Troben was first to stick his nose in front but it was of short duration, for Lady Betty was soon on even terms with him and before the eighth pole had been reached she had opened up daylight on her opponents and went sailing along at a merry clip. Wright gave her a breathing spell on the back stretch and kept her well in hand, looking back at intervals to see how Troben was behaving. At this juncture, Troben made I another determined effort to overtake the leader, but Wright had contemplated such a move and simply let out a wrap on the game little mare, and from then on it was all over but the shouting. In the meantime, Machese had loomed up menacingly and the race settled into a rousing stretch drive for second honors. Following the fast pace set by Lady Betty had told on Troben and it was all he could do to withstand Machese' challenge and save the place. The others were never dangerous. Queen of the Spa, who hails from the eastern tracks and who brought with her an enviable reputation for speed lived up to representations in the five and half furlong dash, the second race on the card, and showed her heels to a shifty band of sprinters, including such good ones as High Olympus and Joe Milner, and ac counted for the purse in rather handy f ashion. High Olympus took the place and Joe Milner saved the short end of the purse. Star Finch and Old Gibbs finished in the order named. The blue and crimson silks, of the Nibbs-Wright combination were again first to catch the judge's eye when old Melos came romping home a winner in the steeplechase, the closing event of, the day. A small but select field contested here. Melos was in a running mood, and, away to a good start, he fenced beauti fully and soon opened up a commanding lead that could never be overcome by his opposition. His Nibbs, ridden by Wells, was the one to offer the most contention. He raced along courageously in second place and fenced well enough, but was never able to get to the, leader. Fort Houston was third. The Class A. Trot, in which Bird Song, Love's Wager and Chacato Watts con tested, was one of the prettiest races of the day. Love's Wager won in succes sive heats, but only after hard fought battles with Bird Song, who finished second. The pair ran like a team all the way through, Love's Wager barely managing to poke her nose in front at the end of each heat. Third was good enough for Chacato. The results: Class A. Trot.
