The Racing.
Tho track was heavy and dull, which made 1t
several seconds slower than when In perfect order,
but the races were run In good time nowithstand-
ing. The programme OF the days racing an
nounced four events, the nrst being handicap
sweepstakes for all ages, dash OF o mile and
quarter. There were twelve entries, but six de-
clared out previous to the day OF race. Another
was withdrawn on account Of lameness, leaving
five to contend for money These were Bacon
Hollands bay geding C0rsican and chestnut colt

II. Sanfords bay marc Niagara and F. Morris gray
lilly Fidelity. C0rsican won the race very
handily, showing that he has again re-
covered his racing form. He was very successful
horse last year. but when he tested this spring
he was found to nave lost his speed. He ran bat
twice before during the summer, and was beaten
each time. The horses that against him on this
occasion were well known aud were stoutly backed
by their admirers.
The second race was the Champion Stakes. for
three-ye r-olds mile heats In this race but ak,
out OF f0rty-six entries. came 10 the post. These
were Mr.. Belmonrs bay colt Kingasher. John O'Don-

was won by Mr. Belmonrs Kingisher In the most gal.
liant style in two straight heats. Ktngfsher was the
favorlte Notwithstanding the many stories about
| his having been amiss and that he had been turned
| out He showed great speed at the finish OF
each heat, going through the Others with such
that they lost their racing appearance Tor the mo-
| ment. Haric did not come up to the expec. ations
OF his hackers, as many believed him TO be the
| fastest horse in the country. They had seen him
run fast AT Long Branch, ana again at Saratoga but
they seemed 10 have overlooked the fact that he
never before had been called upon to put up the
steadying weight OF one hundred and ten pounds
| This weight stopped him in his victorious career,
and proved him to be nothing more than a second
rater after ALL
The most brilliant affair of the day was the third
/ race, which was by fifteen tw0-year-0ds for the
/ Nursery Stakes. There sixty entries Tor this
race and fifteen came TO the post These were

won his race yesterday with apparent ease beating
the avorlte Mary Louise, several lengths. The adj

on a canter, and there never was more d:sap-
poinled set OF men gathered together than her

largest NUMBER OF starters that ever commended in

The fourth race-the steeple chase-turned out to
be no race at all before lalf mile was run, as one
| OF the horses had iallen down ana The other had
| thrown bis rider. The winning horse-Oysterman,
Jr after the accidents TO the others was taken III
hand, and went over the ground at MS leisure,
making the Jumps III most beautiful style. Blddy
Malone, one OF The starters IN the race, fell at the
second jump and SO disabled her rider for the mo-
ment that he was unable 70 mount again, and
another rider, Hughy Gaifney being at hand,
mounted the mare aud went over the course TO re-
cover the second prize. After Oyserman, Jr had
finished the race, the other horse, who had thrown
his rider at the fourth leap, was caught and the
jockey mounted again, and he also went over the
course TO save his entrance money. Both Biddy
Malone and Tisdae made all the leaps after being
remOunted without making any mistakes; bat the
steeple chase lost interest when the horses fell,
and the jumping afterwards was not appreciated by
the spectators.
