There arc, In Akron, a number of race-goers to whom whnt the bookmakers sny about rnco is taken ns the' announcement of truo prophet, nnd fhoy do their llgurlng nccordhig-ly. The bookmnkers were bucking certain horses nt Fountain park, Thursday, before the rnccs were nc-tually stnrtcd, nnd 11 number of listeners bet among themselves accordingly. Others played nccordlng to tho drift Df tho pool Nulling nt tho Buchtcl tho night before. In each enso those who listened nnd then bet lost thor money, for the rnqos were not to tho favorites. It was not, until lifter first bents woro decided In nil three races Thursday that tho real drift of affairs could be seen.

Thon It. was, nil over, for tho winners of nil three races did the trick In straight bents, with lots of daylight between tho blko nnd tho nose of tho nearest opponent, Tho only contests woro for plnce, and theru was no especial excitement -them. The crowd for the second. ihiyof tho big meet was rather larger than that of Wednosdny, nnil tho track was triflo faster thnn on tho first dny, haying become, drier. The wra'thcr, bright nnd red hot, was the kind that usually gets fust time and breaks horses' hearts, but tho dny passed off without nceldent Perhaps iho mil feature of the tiny was tho energejle nnd continuous way In which starter Al.

Hnruard went aftw tho drivers. There was much acoring for almost eeiy heat (except In tho first race, where there were hut four starters), and It seemed that tho tight horse simply could not stnrt In tho right place. Time after time Barnard Iinrl refaetory drivers at tho stand, addressing them In words Mint fairly froze the nlr. nnd much tline was consumed In useless scoring. No one was fined, however.

Hlnkston, who drove Chandler In the 20 pace did not seem to be getting nil that wns In the. horse nfter two heats nnd (hero was an Impression thnt ho wns laying the horse up. Bar-nnrd thought this might bo the coso too, nnd he called Hlnkston in, nnd rpnd him an address that fairly made Jils bnir cur). Tho crowd was much In fnvor of Rat-nan), nnd applauded hla addresses to the drivers vigorous. Jr.

In tho first rare thero woro but four entries and as theio wcro four moneys, the ptrugghi wns simply to get us much of it'til possible.

The machine which has just been patented lins for its motive power, ho claims, 11 perfectly silent engine, nil the noise from tho cxhnust liming boon cm lied away with a scries of mufflers. The machine of Nyberg has one, other point of great value and that one is a lloxlhlo axle, tho patent for which was granted 011 last Stnuniny. This point, he claims, removes one of thq most ser-lous objections to the manufactnro of tho automolillo.
