jerome Park Races-The Autumn Meet
Ing.
The Autumn meeting OF the American Jockey
Club is to be held on Wednesday, I'd Saturday. 9th
Tuesday, sth: Thursday, 10th, and Saturday, 18th
days Of October, and there are already about sew
enty five horses on the grounds, with as many more
In training at Saratoga, Long Branch and the various
private training establishments in this vicinity all
daily expected at the park. 1t is also expected
that q delegation OF dozen or more will come
rom Kentucky immediately after the races at Lex
ington, which commence on the 10th inst. There
will be five or six races each day at the October
meeting, and sport enough to satisfy the most ex-
travagant desires.
The programme embraces numerous very I'M
portaDt events. The Jerome Stakes zone OF the
races Of the first day, Is sweepstakes for three
year-Olds, 500 each half forfeit with 500 added
the second horse to receive $500 out OF the stakes
for which there are sixty-one nominations, includ
ing about Oil OF the best colts of that age in the
country. The starters are likely to be numerous
probably dozen or more. Colonel McDanieps
entries, 10. Daniels, Hubbard &c. will probably be
first In favor, while the second favorite must be
selected from lot OF about equal merits composed
OF Mr. Harness. Meteor, Messsrs Hunter Il
Travers' Alarm, Mr.. Belmont's Wade Hampton,
Woodbine and Gray Planet, Mr.. Sanford's Mate
nOck's brother to James A. Connolly, Mr.. Chamber
Inns True Blue and Brennus, Mr.. Morris Devasta-
tion and st. Patrick, Mr.. Wther's King Ernest df
he has sufficiently recovered from lameness), Judge
Thomas Ramadan, Major Thomas War Jig and
others, are in the list OF possible and probable
starters, and there many chances that the best
OF the judges may fail to pick the winner Of this
rich prize.
On the same day the Nursery Stakes will be run
for, mile for twO-year-Olds, $50 each, play or
pay, with $1,000 added, the second to receive $780,
for which there are fifty nominations. There will
be swarm or starters for this race, and among
them 80 many good ones that we shall not attempt
to grade them. We simply call attention to the
folowing:-Mr. Belm0nt's Count dOrsay and i'm
ported Breadelbane colt; Mr.. Norris son Of Eclipse
and MCllie JacksOn Mr.. Jerome's brother to
Maiden; Messrs. Hunter h Travers' Revller and
strachlno; Colonel McDaniels springbok, Cora
Linn and Katy Pease; Mr.. Littell's WIZARD Wild
Idle and Fellowcraft; Mr.. Colrees Bea con- Maiden
fly and Lightning colt; Mr.. Wither's two imported
colts by Blair Atho and Marsyas; Governor Bowie's
Catesby, &c. A better lot has seldom been entered
for any race In this country.
The Hunter Stakes for FLIES three years old.
one mile and three-quarters, will be the first race
of the second day. The entrance IL 5000 each only
$50 forfeit, and $500 added. Prominent among the
probable starters are Experience Oaks, WOodbinc,
Mimi, Lauretta. Nema, Inverary, &c. The first
two named above viii probably lead the betting, II
not the race.
For the Maturity Stakes, for four-year-olds three
miles, Harry Bassett WILL of course, be first "a
vOrite. Mr.. Sanfords stable has been kept singu-
larly in the dark this season, yet his fine colt
MOnarchist must be second favorite for this race,
and many predict that II Bassett should ever be
defeated again Monarchst will be the victor. Abde
koree, Elsie, Ginger, Nellie Ransom and others
may also be set down as probable starters IN this
race.
The Annual Sweepstakes two miles, for three
year-olds, $500 entrance, 800 forfeit, with $1,000
added, Is one OF the most important events Of the
meeting, there being thrtyfve nominations for it.
1t will be the first race OF the third day. The in
cyitable Jo Daniels unless he should be defeated for
the Jerome Stakes) must be the favOrte. His stable
companion, Hubbard, will probably make the run
ming for him, and Meteor, Alarm King Ernest
Chvalry, Gray Planet, Bacon's Jack Malone colt,
PennOck's brother to James A. Connolly, Vim, and
perhaps others, may be considered as In the race.
Meteor Is good everyday race horse Of fair speed
Alarm has truly an alarming turn OF speed, and II
Minor succeeds in making him stay the distance
will be decidedly dangerous; and Mate, powerful
and improving colt, will not be q bad one to back,
and, with several other good ones to start it will be
no easy victory for the winner.
The American Jockey Club offers o largely in.
creased amount Of money for this meeting, much
of which is to be given for races yet open, and
hence we may expect the good horses Of oil Sec
tions Of the country to be present.
This meeting will be about the last OF the great
outdoor attractions of the in this neghbor-
hood, and there will, doubtless, be numerous and
fashionable attendance.
