From the fact that the programme embraces hur.

the turf-an unusually large gathering Is looked for.
The Racing.
The track at Jerome Park yesterday was in excel
lent condition for racing the shower Of the early
morning not having detrimentally affected it. The
racing generally was very satisfactory unless 1t be
the selling stakes between Redwing and Juba, which
resulted rather differently to what expected, as
Jubal instead Of going with the after getting
the word and leading to the bend of the bluf took
the road which led TO his stable thereby losing all
chances of winning the race, before he could be
turned Redwing was two hundred yards away from
him.
The first race was between four two year olds, all
that appeared out OF thirteen entries for the two
year old stakes-Mr Cameron's imported brown filly
Inveruglass, Mr.. Belmont's chestnut colt Fenian,
Mr.. Sanford's chestnut FLY The Nsn, and Messrs.
Purdy wthers bay My Ouda. The race was won
quite easily by Mr.. Cameron's FLY, she taking the
lead at the start and holding 1t to the end the dis
lance being hve-eighths OF mile. From the Pc
culiar conformation Of the course this distance
horses have to be started and the race finished i'm

the grand stand on The other. All the horses
