 their annual meeting on their grounds at 

 York, Pa., on October 0, ?, 8; and 9. The 

 ocial 'ii have recently improved their 

 grounds and increased the size of the track, 

 so some good trotting may he expected. 

 The sum of $1,350 is offered in premiums, 



—The trotting at Fleetwood Park, Friday 

 October 1, was characterized by much en- 

 thusiasm, as the track was in excellent con 

 d it ion, the day toe and the entries quite 

 numerous. The first race was for a purse 

 of $600 for horses that had never beat 18:50. 

 The animals starting were:— Arthur, Midget, 

 l.innie Case. Qlieston, Gordon, Alexis, Little 

 Nell md Richards. The fotmesrwon; Midge! 

 and Tannic Case getting second and third 

 money. Time 2 .-.. - . . '■ ^2:87,2:374. The 

 second race for a pur.se of .S2,,"i00 free to 

 all, mile heats, best three in five in harness. 

 This brought out American Girl, Cantors, 

 s, ,iion." and Henry. The former wits the 

 winner. Time— 2:2^, 2:25, 2:23±, 2:25. 

 The American Girl was the favorite through- 

 out, having brought $800 in the pools to the 

 $90 and $41 of her opponents. Some good 

 trotting occurred at Fleetwood Park Oc- 

 tober 2d. The first contest was a match for 

 $1,000 between D. Ramsey's brown mare 

 "Laura," and F. Fowler's black gelding 

 "Black Diamond." The former won in 

 three straight heats. Time— 2:53, 8:57},

 former won, having gained the first, third 

 and fifth heats. Time— 2:39, 3:37i, 2:39, 

 2:48}, 2:43}. This race was well contested, 

 and so closely run that betting often changed 

 from one to ihe other according as they 

 earuc in winners of a heat. 



— The Autumn meeting opened at Jerome 

 Park last Saturday under the most favorable 

 auspices, as the best stables in the country 

 were represented, the track was iu splendid 

 condition and the attendance was very large, 

 a very great number being representatives 

 of the fair sex. There were five capital 

 races during the day, and each was well 

 contested. The first was a dash of three- 

 quarters of a mile; the second, the Jerome 

 stakes for three-year-olds; the Nursery 

 stakes for two-year-olds, one mile; the 

 Manhattan handicap, one and a quarter miles, 

 and a selling race of one and one-eighth 

 miles. There were five entries for the firsi , 

 namely: — Countess,Lotta Moone, Audubon, 

 Warminster and Harry Bassett. The latter 

 was the favorite, but Countess woninl:16J. 

 For the Jerome slakes there were seven 

 starters, namely: — Acrobat, Brigand, Ban- 

 narette, Aaron Pennington, Hoaxer, and 

 Griustead. Acrobat, a powerful steed, and 

 the favorite, won the purse and race in 3.37j. 

 The stake, including the plate, was valued 

 at 84,951). The Nursery stakes for two- 

 year-olds of §100 each, half forfeit with 

 $1,000 added, second horse to receive $200, 

 was closed with forty-three nominations, 

 but of which only eight started, namely : — 

 Olitipa, Chesapeake, Rhadamanthus, Bay- 

 minster, James H. Leader, Athlete, and 

 Australand. Mr. Hunter's stable represented 

 by Olitipa, who was the favorite in the bet- 

 ting, and the accuracy of those cognizant 

 of tiie good qualities of the mare was evi- 

 dent when she came in winner in 1:46, 

 Chesepeake second, followed by Rhadaman- 

 thus; "stakes won valued at. $3,550. The 

 fourth race, the Manhattan handicap, closed 

 with ten nomination, and that number went 

 to the starting post. The competitors 

 were: — Mate, Survivor, Castesby, JosieB., 

 Lizzie Lucas, Rutherford, Leamington, Lon- 

 don, Gray Planet, and Dublin. The first 

 was the favorite in the betting. After a 

 most interesting race she came in winner by- 

 two lengths, Survivor second, Castesby 

 third, followed in order by Josie B., Lizzie 



Lucas, Rutherford, Leamington, I ion 



Gray Planet, and Dublin. The mile and a 

 quarter was run in 2:11}, the fastest time it 

 was ever made in; value of stakes, .J 1,3 10. 

 The fifth race was for a purse of $400, the 

 winner to be sold at auction, and if entered 

 to be sold for $1,000, The starters were:— 

 Mary Buckley, Mollie Darling and Bingarn- 

 mon. The contest was most exciting as the 

 horses passed or lapped each other from 

 time to time. Mary Buckley was the win- 

 ner by a length, Molly Darling second. 

 Time — 3:02£; distance, one and one-eighth 

 miles. 



— A trotting race, best three in five to

 with $1,000 added. The competitors were: 

 — the American Girl and Copper/bottom, the 

 former won, best time made, 2:25. A race 

 between Dan and Whitestoue for a purse of 

 $100 was run on the same day and Was won 

 by the former in three straight heats. 



— At Beacon Park the horse Ingomar was 

 matched against lime on the Ithiust., for 

 $1,500, the endeavor being made to beat 

 the best ten miles trotting time ever made, 

 viz., 28:02i. The attempt was a failure, 

 the distance being made in 29:194. 



— The trotting at the Catskill course on 



the 3d ult. brought out several horses. The 

 tirst race was for a purse of $000 for horses
