THE RACING.

The track was in capital order, the weather was
favorable for fast ime and great anticpations for
fine racing were INDUCED in by all who wendell
their way to Monmouth Park. Three races were on
the card. the first being the West End Hotel Stakes
one mile and three-quarters, for thrce-year-old
FLIES; the second q race for purse, mile heats;
and the third event was the Hoey Stakes, dash OF
three miles. The racing was as good as antici-
pated, the first being particularly fine between Nc
Grath's bay Gly Jury, John Harper's chest
nut flly Extract and A. @. Franklin's
bay lilly, sister to salina. The latter
is fine, well made flly, about fifteen
hands one inch high OF q dark bay color, with two
white feet behind and star on her forehead. She
is compactly built, heavily ribbed with strong
driving tackle. This was her first race, and that
being win we may look for her again at the fore.
Her sister, Mr. Sanfords Salna, was clipper, but,
unfortunately, was taken with the horse disease
that prevailed about New York some months since,
called spinal meningitis, and was so Frustrated
that Mr.. Sanford thought 1t would be useless to
train her again, and he sent her to his stud farm In
Kentucky to become mother of racers. Mr.. Nc
Grath's bay FLY jury sister Of Susan Ann, who
won the three-mile dash, made very good race
with sister to Salina.
The second race-the mile heats-had five entries,

Mr.. DOnahue should not allow such good horse to
be bntchered by trainers who do not understand
their business. That Alr0y was race horse and
ought to be again when properly trained many
horsemen are sure; and we would suggest that
he be placed in competent hands In the future.
Preakness ran very poor race, but was finely
ridden by HAYWOOD, the English Jockey. The

medium success, generally being Ovcrmatched.

horse they took him for. Susan Ann will retire
from the turf with the termination OF the autumns

many racers, as she Is good mare.
