—The second day of the Jel "me Park races 

 was one of tbe must interesting in the luri 

 annals bf tlial course, from the tact Hmt the 

 best hoTsos in tlie comitty competed for tjie 

 liberal purses offered, and that a large field 

 generally went to the starting post (Jut oi 

 the fifty-one entered, forty-tfiree taeterj in 

 fiie Bix events of tlie day. 



The first race, a Jasb of i me mile for all 

 ;.., I pro ;.;! i„ power of tue co 1 1 1 1 »:■ i i i ■ 11 a. 

 The- winners of |l 000 or more curried seven 

 poueds over their weight for age, beaten 

 maidens, if four years old or less, receiving 

 an allowance of" .seven pounds, five-year- 

 olds or more receiving an allowance of 

 twelve pounds. The .slarlers were Quits, 

 with 105 pounds; Preakuess, 186 pounds; 

 Audubon, 108 pounds; Ploolo, 9G pOtlndS; 

 Governess, 98 pounds; Marmioa, 98 pounds; 

 Stanford 103 pounds The Hoswrer 03 

 pOtfnds; Gray Planet, 121 pounds; Fadla- 

 deen, 118 pounds; and Rosebud, 95 pounds. 

 The lot presented a handsome appearance 

 as they came around the first hall' fnile in a 

 bioieli', but on the homestrelch Ifadladeen 

 dashed onward, and won the race in 1 :45, 

 Preakuess second. 



For the Hunter Stakes, a dash Of a ttltle 

 and three quarters for three-year-old fillies, 

 only four started out of the twenty-three 

 nominated, viz., McDanicl's .Madge, Cot- 

 t.rifl'a Bona venture, Sanford's Lava, and 

 Lewis & Co.'s Vandalite. In I lie pools 

 Cottrill had the call until the very last pool, 

 when, through rivalry on the part of bid- 

 ders. Madge was forced up to the lirst 

 choice. The race was won by Madge in 

 3:10, Boixventure second, and Vandalite 

 third. Considering the pace of the first 

 three quarters of a mile, it, is the best race 

 ever ruu by 5 J seconds. Remorseless ran it 

 in 1870in'3-.15i. 



The Maturity Stakes, throe mi'es for four- 

 yeai-olds. was 'shorn of much of its interest 

 by the disability of all the supposed great 



ones entered for the stake. Es-Gove 

 Bowie started Gatesby, M. A. Littell Wild- 

 idle this first appearance since a two-year- 

 old), Babcoek & Ransom's Ransom, and 

 John Coffee's B. F. Carver— all decidedly 

 second class in character. Catesby came in 

 winner by three lengths in the good lime of 

 5:'AG, Wildidle second, and Carver third. 



For the dash of five furlongs, for two- 

 year-olds, eight out of the nine entries faced 

 the starter, namely, Knlister, Fintwork, 

 Holbrook, Warminsler-Rebel mare colt, 

 Scramble, Aristides, and the Betty Ward 

 colt. No better lot of youngsters has been 

 seen this season, several of theni being re- 

 markably good looking. The run up the 

 stretch was a fine one, especially by Baby- 

 lon, the Warminster and Betty Ward colts. 

 Aristides won by half a length inl:04|, 

 with Finework second a half length in 

 front of Babylon, who beal the Warminster 

 and Betty Ward colts by a head; Knlister 

 was sixth, Scramble seventh, and Holbrook 

 eighth. 



The dash of a mile and a half for all ages 

 had nine entries, all of whom wen! to the 

 post at tbe course, viz., Sandford's Kadi, 

 with 106 pounds; Bowie's Picolo, 90 pounds ,- 

 Lewis & Co.'s Bessie Lee, 100 pounds; Law- 

 rence A Lorillard's Resolute, 108 pounds; 

 McCormack's Spindrift, 113 pounds; Hunt 

 Reynold's Whisper, 103 pounds; McUmlirs 

 Jury, 106 pounds; Piivyeur's Criustead, 8G 

 pounds; and McDanicl's Harry Bassclf, 

 with 118 pounds. Grinstead, to the surprise 

 of most all present, won a handsome race 

 by two lengths in 3:40j — good time for the 

 weights— with Kadi second, he outrunning 

 Bessie Lee by half a length for second place 

 just at the' finish. Bessie beat Picolo a 

 length for third place. 



The day's sport ended with a steeple 

 chase over the usual course, with seven 

 starters, viz., Terrence's Trouble (a recent 

 importation from Canada), carrying 150 

 pounds; Tully's Vesuvius, with 142 pounds; 

 Jackson's Buckshot, 140 pounds; Catta- 

 nack's Impecunious, 140 pounds; Lewis & 

 Co.'s Chief Engineer, 140 pounds; Green's 

 Daylight, 13G pounds; and Lawrence & Lor- 

 illard's Lady Bruce, 125 pounds. The race. 

 was a most excellent oue, as all the horses 

 took the leaps in fine style. Trouble came 

 in victor by two lengths in 5:58.}, Daylight 

 second, Vesuvius third, and Lady Bruce 

 fourth. This closed the exercises for the. 

 day, which were interesting in the highest 

 degree. 



—The third day of the Jerome Park races 

 was charateiized bv some splendid running 

 and close contests "between the best horses 

 on the continent. The first race of the day 

 was the dasli of a mile and a half for all 

 ages, the winner to be sold at auction. This 

 had six entries, viz., D. McDaniel's ch. c. 

 Galway, 4 years; F, Morris' b, c. by Leam- 

 ington*, out of Rebecca, 4 years; M. H. 

 Sanford's b. g. [Cadi, 3 years; Lawrence 

 and G. Lorillard's ch. c. Resolute, 4 years; 

 J. G. Bethuue's b. f. Red Bud, 4 years; and 

 Joseph Donahue's b. c. Scratch, 3 years. 

 All of these came to the post, and the specu- 

 lation on the result was somewhat heavy, 

 especially as the track was heavy in places, 

 and the result deemed uncertain. Kadi, 

 however, bad the most admirers, and he 

 proved the correctness of his backers' 



vieWS, having come in lirst in &:48, Galway 

 second, and Leamiflgton third. After the 

 race the winner was sold to Mr. Shed, of 

 Boston, for $1,155. 



The second race on the card was the 

 Grand National Handicap Sweepstakes, of 

 $100 each, half forfeit, and .$20 if declared, 

 $1,000 added. This had eighteen nomina- 

 tions, three of whom were declared out, 

 and nine paid forfeit. Those that came to 

 the post were M. H. Sanford's hr. h. Mate, 

 Lawrence and G, Lorillard's b. h. Shylock, 

 D. McDaniel's ch. h. Abdcl Koree, A. B. 

 Lewis & Co.'s b. m. Bessie Lee, A. M. Bur- 

 ton's ch. c. Jack Frosl, and James Bona- 

 i hue's gr, f. Li/./ic Lucas, lu the belting 

 ! Mate was a great favorite, and sold for 

 I more than the entire field. The contest 

 i seemed to be between Mate, Bessie Lee, and 

 I Shylock, but ou the homestretch the for- 

 ', iiicr burst to the front, and made her two 

 I and a quarter miles in 4:13L Shylock sec- 

 j ond. and Bessie Lcc third. 

 i The third event was the Annual Sweep- 

 I slakes for three-year-olds, two miles and an 

 eighth, which closed with seven nomina- 

 tions, bui only four entered, viz., A. B. 

 Lewis & Co.'s b. f. Vandalite, Thomas Pur 

 year A Co.'s ch. e. Rutherford, and W. Cot- 

 trill's b. f. Bannerette aud ch. c. Planter. 

 Vandalite won in 4:00f, Rutherford second, 

 and Bannerette third. 



The card presented for the fourth con- 

 test, the Champagne Stakes for two-year- 

 olds, three quarters of a mile, closed 

 with twenty-two nominations, out of which 

 number the following nine started, viz., 

 Wood Stringfield's b. c. Ravenna, P. Loril- 

 lard's b. C. James A., D. McDaniel's eh. c, 

 by Australian, out of Betty Ward, Law- 

 rence aud G. Lorillard's b. c* Hyder AM, D. 

 D Withers' imp. f>. I'., by Gladiator, F. 

 Morris' b. c. Bay minster, J. H. Huut Rey- 

 nolds' ch. f. Aniella, M. H. Sanford's br. f. 

 Finework, aud John Hunter's ch. f. Austra- 

 lind. This was an exceedingly fine lot, of 

 youngsters, and puzzled the speculators to 

 pick the winner. The betting on the result 

 was very heavy, aud some of the knowing- 

 ones were badly bitten. Hyder Ali came 

 in victor iu 1:20, James A. second, and 

 Finework third. 



The concluding race of the clay was the 

 ever popular oue of mile heats for all ages, 

 which proved to be a magnificent race, and 

 created great enthusiasm. Tbe entries were 

 John H. Stone's b. c. Col. Millisran. M. H. 

 Sanford's b. h. Preakness, H. P. MeGrath's 

 b. m. Jury, F. Stearus' gr. c. Frauk, H. 

 Gaffney's ch. c. Spendrift, and John F. 

 Chamberlain's b. c. Survivor. This was in- 

 deed a splendid field for this kind of a race, 

 and although Preakness was a great favor- 

 ite it was by no means oousidered a sure 

 thing for him. Preakness won the first aud 

 third heats, aud Spindrift the second, the 

 remainder having been ruled out, except 

 Survivor, who was distanced. Time — 1:4?}, 

 1 :48}, and 1 :53-. r .
