time the sun burst out with great power and drying
force, making the track at noon fit to run on. IL

cleverly, making ali his leaps very gracefully, ana
going over all the hurdles without touching the

This fine colt U.0chieD Is about the best hurdler
and steepe-chaser that we have had since Oyster

runners would have been great. match race be-

Iederacy laying out their money with q looseness.
The excitement attending the led me
TO visit the stables of Messrs. Mcdaniel and Bel

ions OF the respective trainers | first called on
Colonel Mcdaniel and asked his opinion OF the
result. lie SAID That he had good flly that he
had never tried her two miles, but he was confident
that she could go the distance; that it was not
his way OF giving long distances for trials OF any of
his horses, and that Wade Hampton could not make
a better race than he mad previously, Sue RYDER
would beat him sure. He said however, that
the filly had not eaten her morning meal with
her usual appetite, but he did not care for
that, as horses when they reach the finest
edge OF sharpness generally begin to nibble
and IL is ut that point they generally make
their best runs. Satisfied that the Colonel was sure
OF winning went over to Mr.. Bemont's stable and
interviewed Jake Pincus the trainer. Jacob took
