THE RACING.

better track or inner day for racing was never
witnessed at Monmouth Park since It's gates were
first opened to the public. There were three impor.
tant events on the card the first being the Thespan
Stakes, between twoyearod colts and fllies, three
quarters OF mile; the second, selling race for all
ages, mile and half; and the third the Mans on
House Stakes, for colts and FLIES four years DID, two
mile heats.
In the first race, which had nineteen entries, six
came to the post. These were General Buford's
chestnut lilly Malta, by Marion, dam Susan Harris;
ID. u. Withers' brown flly by Eclipse dam Hennie
Farrow; D. McDaniel's chestnut colt Hubbard, by
Planet, dam Minnie Mansfield; ii. T. McGraths bay
colt Richard Roe, by Tpperary, dam Greek Slave;
O. G. r. II. ParKs brown 1lly Experience Oaks,
by Bonnie Scotland, dam by Lexington, ana M. H.
sanlord's chestnut 1lly by King Lear, dam BY
Scythlan. Hubbard was a great favorite before the
start and his hackers lost heavily on him, as he
was beaten badly by Malta the winner OF the race
and Mr.. Withers' 1y, who ran good second
Hubbard did not get away as quickly as his owner
wished; but after making up considerable OF his
losses after the start and getting third place
before he ran quarter of mile he suddenly fell in
the rear. He seemed TO sulk. He ran well after
wards. however, but he had lost so much ground by
his falJer that could not make 1t up and came In
third. Malta ran game race throughout, winning
lois OF money for her owner ana those who had
pluck enough to back her against Hubbard. MIR.
Wlthers' lilly ran very iast but she was badly
ridden and came in good second. She viii make
racer with age. She is finely formed for speed.
The second event was o selling race with allow
ances for low-pnced horses There were niue
entries, but at the bugle call one Of the number did

race IN two straight heats, Susan Ann second and
Judge Durell third. In the first heat Conductor was

hind leg just below The hook after running mile
the race entirely out, and he had to be Withdrawn
from the contest alter the heat The first heat was
run very slowly seemingly as II Susan Ann and Judge
Dureil had lam up TO let the others do the running.
II this was 50 they played game against them
selves. II would have been better for both Judge
Durell and Susan Ann to have forced the
pace in the first heat and ii there had
been soft spot In Eclipuc that would have
been the way to have found 1t; but TO have allowed
her to win In hand gallop just put her In running
order Tor better heat. There Is prevailing belief
among turtmen that the EclipSe5 are not suckers;
but they should examine the pedigree on the dams
side well on that of the sire before coming to
that conclusion about horse; and probably II they
had yesterday, there would not have been so many
strong hackers Of the other horses that Eclipc had
Ann were all sired by Lexington, blood that can be
traced purely back through Boston, Tmoeon and
sir Archy to Domed, the winner OF The arst English
Derby In 1850. EclIpuc'S dam was Nina one OF the
same blood, being sired, as Lexington Was by B0s-
ton, and this staying blood, should she not inherit
any good quality from her SIRE gives her endurance
to lost as long as the best OF them.
