Hot Favorites Last Night—The Program For Today. The first day’s races in the exposition park yesterday were a big success. There was a very large crowd present and the new grand stand was filled with ladies and their gentlemen escorts. Quite a number of stylish traps were on the grounds, and in them were Rome’s most stylish people. The weather was perfect and the track was in prime condition, There were no delays, no wrangling, but every thing was run in a sportsmanlike man ner. In the 2:24 trot Stiles’ “Archie” was a hot favorite, and lots of money was placed on the little black. “Nubian W.’> Anderson’s gallant bay horse, however, had plenty of backers, and when he came under ahead in the first heat the board showed odds of 2 to 5 on him. In the second heat there was consider able trouble in getting away, but at the word “go” Stiles flashed his brave little black on the inside of the track and away they shot around the course. “Archie” was working like a clock but “Nubbin W. ” broke his gait, and lost several lengths before coming down. They had almost completed the first cir cuit. ahd “Archie” was going at a whistling gait, when an unfortunate accident put the beautiful and plucky little animal out of the hunt. One of the rubber tires to the sulky came off, but the three quarters had almost been reached before Stiles could stop the brave nag, and only then by leaping to his back. The result: Nubbin W. first; Ella O. K„ second, and Archie distanced on account of an accident. Best time 2:26}. The 2:30 pace was hotly contested, but Robert F. won. The result: Robert F. first; Hubert H. second; Slipper, third. Best time 2:26}, The half-mile running dash was a pretty one, and elicited more enthusiasm than any event of the day.
