AS Lynchburg was then well thought OF lor the race

The Racing.
b
received in narrowing and rolling, 1t was IN better
condition than any OF the racing men anticipated.
Good time was made in every race, which proved
its fair condition. Four races were ON the card for
this, the opening day, the first being hurdle race
of two miles eight hurdles with welter weights
The second race was between three year ods mile
heats with 100 pounds up, and the third race was
dash OF TWO miles and a half, between Three four
year olds.
The hurdle race had four starters, Lobelia Bohan-
non, Oysterman, Jr., and Morris. Oysterman, Jr.,
was the favorite at long odds the night before ut
Long Branch, but when morning came change had
taken place IN the minds OF some Of the operators and
Lobella had the call in number or the pools sold
she wen capital race, in excellent time Bohannon
running IN second, Uysterman, Jr., third Tue de-
injury he received by Ills iall over the hurdle At
Saratoga last month.
The heat race between the three year ods was q |
very exciting anair throughout. Three heats were
run, Lyncdburg winning the first anu Enquirer the |
two sdbSequent ones, both colts beng the get |
ol imported bennington There were twenty |
seven nominations for this race only OF |
that number coming TO tie post These were En- |
gurer, Lynchburg Maggie Is. b., Harlc. susan Ann |
aud Doneraie colt. The latter made fine running |
In the first heat and only beaten by Lynchburg
by nose. In the second heat, soon after leaving |
the starting post, Lynchbur suddenly stopped and !
after the heat was over 1t was aScertalned nat the
colt had broken his near shoulder blade. Tnls Is |
SAD loss, not only 10 his owner, but the turf, as
Lynchburg was one OF the most promising three |
year ods in the country, and was valued at over
$1,000 before The injury ENQUIRER won the last !
TWO heats with apparent ease. lie was the fayOrite
against the field previous to the start and although
defeated In the first heat by u bad start he had tile
call IN the betting at long odds TO the end.
Enquirer IS one Oi the most magnificent three
year ods that has appeared on the American turf,
ana should he meet Knglsier and llainburg In
race this fall OF the finest anu fastest that ever
occurred may be looked for. We would not be sur
prlsed these thre ecOs turn ont good, If
better horses than Norfolk, Kentucky ana Asterold.
Enquirer to some eyes, has a LITTLE 100 much day
light under him; but his sire was formed IN the same
way and he could run fast, carry weignt and 60
distance Maggie b. b. was second IN tne race and |
ran well, but she did not come up 10 the eXpecta-
tionS or her Dackers. some OF them think that she
was not as good nlly yesterday as she was |
at Saratoga, bnt they do not take into |
consideration the difference Of the tracks, the one
being made by incessant toll the fastest in America,
Whine the other Is entirely new, and has had little
work on 1t TO improve It. The time made was excel
