TIE FALL RACES.

The regular season opened on Monday afternoon oil
Fashion Course with betWeen two-year-olds
There may have been 300 people the ground, GER
| taniy there were not 400, whereas Flora Temples
second trot with Ethan Allen drew eco. What bet
ter commentary could be sought for the punishment
which the public visits upon ,uch outrageous swInd.
Ing no the Fashion Pleasure Ground Association al
lowed in that famous second match trot The fact is
as We have sad before the seasons business is spoiled
and however much Mr. Creheron or other lea1iUg
men may deprecLte IT, the footing Of will be
on the wrong side Of the baluuce-sheet this Fail.
The races on Monday, Of which there were two were
made by tho hor.s OF Messn. John Hunter ard j. u.
Monnot both OF wsstctesrer County and both gentle
meu Of large wealth. Mr.. Monnots chief reliance is,
AID has been for years past, the webred horse
Logan, although he has proved himself at all sire
Of winning colls while Mr.. Hunter ia strong in hs
faith of Revelue, Barowne, and Birdca,cher blood,
the performances of which on every decent course
| have 80 long been traditional The result Of Mon.
days skirmishes proved him to he not far wrong in
his calculations, since In the hst race his Revenue
fly and in the second his Balrownic colt won easily
and carried off handsome stakes OF the races not
much can bo said except that they were toeraby
good performances for two years old colteif indeed
we can apply so fAtiering adjective TO any public
performance Of such young stock. Considering that
horses do not get 10 their prime until fully matured
physically we have never been able to appreciate the
merit of the practice Of running with them when
they are so young and green as two-years-ods.
The day was all that could be des'red-warm enough
to supple the jonts and not az TO exhaust tn
animals before the task was half done. The truck wa
good, but dusty considering the recent heavy falls
rain. When the horses we're rung mp for the moment
the judgment Of the crowd seemed to be pretty universal
that the Hunter colt was much the best Of the two
perhaps not go rangy nor possessed Of such stride
but better coupled, symmetrical and spiugy
in her pasterns. There have been acknow WI
edged superiority for before they moved OIL the odcs
ranged from 10 10 as high as 5 % l in her favor
THE RACE.
At the start the Logan hly was moved some yards
down the track, 10 give her good start rs she
was not 50 free mover Is the Hunter FLY. The
eendof was d very good one, Hunters having "A lead
Of perhaps half length, but at the turn the Logan
had crep up, and even showed half head in front Mt
the quarter which she passed in q seconds. AT the
second turn, however the Revenue lilly let herself out
little, and made gap Of quite length between her
and her competitor. Down the back stretch the pace
seemed 10 have fair chance for the heat but after
that che gave out and Hunters little jockey called on
his pretty BEST with such success that abe made fine
brush and moved steadily ahead At tue tlrceqaarter
she Il length in 'front.' and when they swung into
the home stretch full three lengths After tina, the
advantage was continually increasing for her, and al
though MonnOts jockey piled whip and spur, the Rev.
enue FLY dashed over the four lengths ahead and
well up In hand, an easy winner. Time l;57I.
Tho odds now were almost anything you might
choose 10 ask, and but little money changed hands at
even 10 TO l. The Logan FLY was far out of con-
diton that sho seized with dstemper Just at the
start for the first heat which explains her tagging
pace after leaving the quarter-post In the second
start the Revenue lilly lad again triaing lead and,
as before, the Logan Tapped ct the quarter, showing
herself TO DO better quarter-horse than mile. She
kept her ground pretty well until they reached the
hafmie, but the Revenue hero let herself out, led
by two lengths, end gradually increased tho advan-
,sSs until they came hOma The powers Of the Logan
