at Fleetwood Park passed of most satisfactorily 10
all concerned. The display OF e1uiDages was very
brilliant and the attendance OF the fair Of that
nature that the grand stand presented the same
animated appearance as on Tuesday. A great num-
ber of the sporting fraternity were early on the
grounds and, as their inclination directed, visited
the pool room ana the club house, venturing their
money In the one place and partaking OF sumptuous
lunches In the other. The inner field contained
many carriages, number OF which were occupied
with ladies who preferred to sit under the
shadow OF the judges stand than on the hill above.
No track In the country affords peasanter posi-
ton for thousands to note trotting contest than
this. From the blum over the track the scene OF
Mills, villages and gigantic trees commingle In such
grand panorama that the eye never tires in drink
ing It's beauty This is undoubtedly fully appreciated
as few assembages on tue turf ever appeared more
delighted than did the patrons OF Fleetwood yester-
day. The weather was all that the truest turtle
could wish for, and the track In good condition.
With delightful atmosphere. clear sky and fine
field OF horses, nothing was wanting to make tho
amusement more than unusually enjoyable.
During the time allowed between heats many OF
the more an xious OF the gentlemen who had money
staked upon the result gathered at the sheds where
the horses were being cared for preparatory to the
next brush and asked all kinds OF questions OF the
"rubbers ana boys for the purpose OF obtaining
their opinions 10 their respective chances. These
crowds continued to the end Of the trot and added
much to the picturesque character Of the scene.
The amusement OF the day was for horses that

lion Daniel Boone was Withdrawn, leaving five
starters
Mr.. Milers bay mare Mary won the race in three
straight heats In capital time. This fine, large mare
has improved greatly since her appearance ar Long
Branch She only has great speed, but her stay
ing qualities are beyond doubt. She is daughter
OF the famous trotting stallion George H. Patchen,
and resembles MIN very much In size and general
appearance. AT glance horseman Will recognize
the Patchen characteristics. She could nave made
the heats yesterday some seconds aster had II been
necessary, as she logged the whole OF the home
stretch In each heat. Her time TO the half mile pole
IN the third heat, Ill., proves that she could have
gone wei down in the twenlies II she nad been
forced.
Lady Whitman disappointed her hackers. Next to
Mary she the choice OF the specuiators This mare
is beautiful creature, with Il rare turn OF speed,
but was very rank and unnanageable In the race.
Between the second and third heats she was driven
three times around the track TO try and subdue her.
and this experiment had the effect OF taxing the
temper OF her, but II also took the speed with It,
and she was last in the heat following.
Charley Green, the winner OF the second money,
performed we'll He Is a capital Jrotter, and Is I'M
proving all the time. IL takes a very good one TO
beat hun when his driver chooses 10 let 90 OF his
head. This is not always the case, however.
Captain Gill trotIed good race yesterday and
won the third prize, much to the astonishment OF
the hackers OF some OF theother horses. He sold In
the field with Hickory Jack ct very low figure, and
more reliance was placed in the little stallion than
IN the Captain. The latter, however. showed that
lie could trot some when he went with Mary to the
half-mile pole in 1:l2 He could not Keep that clip
up, unfortunately, and was beaten by the mare and
Charley Green This horse has been lame for long
time, but he getting all right and will make an
astonishing race some fine day when people are not
expecting II. - ~s-.Fs * ~, - e TTI+s.ai
Hickory Jack was In rather too fast company to
show on 10 advantage but he performed as well AS
he is the habit OF doing He can beat 2:35 horses,
but when he contends with those that can trot In
thirty or better he has no chance al all. His owner
ought to know this, and enter himfn purses where
he has some chance OF paving for his oats
