and thc racing was fine throughout. The favortes
were beaten In every race, and, consequently 'the
tatcnt" fell heavily Three races were the first
being the July Stakes Ior threey thseequar
tiers OF mile, the winner OF the Hopeful Stakes TO
carry five pounds additional weight. The second
race was for the Americas Club Prrse OF S, 500 Tor

her easy victory IN the Hopeful Stakes making
the letting fraternity believe that ave pounds
additional weight and the extra quarter OF
a mile would not anect her chances In the
least, and they backed her wildly. She was beaten
very easily by Hubbard and Experience Oaks. ana
this was disaster No. / to the hackers OF the
1avorites.
The second race had four entries. These were d.

Alex. Churchill Lytelton was the favOrite at nearly
even money over the field. Five heats were run
before decision was arrived At Chiuicothe lasted
longer than any o: the Others and won finely
tested race. Lyitetou won the nrst heat very
aandlly and II was the general opinion Of the spec
taors that had he been run for the second ana third
heats ne co1ld nave won the race. Instead OF rnr
suing this honorable course he was laid up the
second heat and even on the third heat he was
cotne to win It, when sent Hamburg to the stable
for NOT having won heat IN three The fourth
heat neat hytteiton ran for bot when near the
him fairly. 1t was then discovered that
Lyttelton was exhausted ana that his chances of
winning were gone and the plans OF his managers
entirely upset. He had been OF his feed for week;
but his owner ana trainer supposed that he had
speed ana endurance enough LETT to beat any field
or horses that could be brought against him at mile
heats, and hence their policy Ia laying hum M the
second and third heats. Lytteton's defeat may be
lesson TO those over wise and cunning gentlemen
VINO had the management OF the horse, Tor they paid
dearly for the scheme. The victory Of Chlicothe has
taught lesson that will no. soon b, forgotten. The
hackers OF the hvoites took their second fall ty
The lnlrd race was for beaten horses one mile

previous de'ea, at this meeting. Nine horses were

field, TIE losers on the two previous races taking
blm to redeem themselves and repien!sh their
pocke's; Dui they made another great mis-
take, as Judge Dureu gave ont u quarter
Q! mile from nome and Conductor won
Conductor winning by neck. Considerable
trouble then ensucd about the weight OF the jockey
or the winner for when they put him on the scae he
was found to be short. Every allowable article
aud had there not nave been a clause III the rules

Inc defeat of Judge Dureli was "tne straw
that broke the camel's bsckr ana cleared
out the pockets OF the 'knowing ones" TO the
last stamp. Three defeats or favorites In Que day is
an unusual occurrence and wnen it does come II
breaks Inc strongest bank, TO say nothing vi the
'iittle rings"
