men to respect to q laughing stock and byword.
In this race which resulted unfortunately for my
crew, the course-four miles and three furlongs-
was rowed, fifteen minutes after the turn OF the
tide, in 22m. Ss by us, with a foul delaying us
at the lowest estimate fully fifteen seconds. Com.
pare this with the time OF the Amherst University
crew at Sprng1cld-three miles in 16m 32lss. on
about an equal current-and you will find that our
time for three miles, with four oars is faster than
crews time in their race with Harvard over half a
minute. This race was with c0xswain; but to
counterbaance this we rowcd the course in a re-
verse direction, which Is estimated to consume
fifteen seconds longer. In the first instance the

Can this be so when such well known Oarsmen as

Reed comprised the crew. most of whom had had
several years. experience in the University six.
The criticisms of the press especially the manner
in which they have given the public the impression
that we are not and never have been oarsmen
c0mpels me- in self justification, to make the follow
feel confident that the four men comprising the

RACING NOTES.

All the stables at Monmouth Park are doing well,
and the horses yesterday morning In their exercise
never appeared to better advantage. The majority
OF the stables worked before breakfast, and it was
an animating scene to witness the great flyers take
their galops. The horse that surprised the lockers
on most was Kinglsher who seems entirely cured
of the 'leg'' that he had last summer. The only
horse the ground that appeared to favor his legs
at all was John Harper's Lyttleton, and after his
work he seemed to be triie lame on one Of his
fore legs. Old man Harper says it will not hurt
him at all for any Of the races he intends to start
him in; but he thought the same Of Longfellow,
when he was told that the great horse pulled
up lame after his work on the day he
broke down. Sound legs are the best to
bet on in all races, nevertheless. In yester-
days HERALD we said it was unfortunate
that the Monmouth Park races and the Buffalo
! trotting meeting came of on the same days. An
old tur1te-one who docs not believe in the honesty
Of the trotting games as they are carried on at the
present day-thinks a better arrangement could
not have been made He said that "he supposed
about one hundred devotees Of the trOttng tracks
and followers OF the rings would go from New York
to Buffalo; but when that fact was once known to
the public, five hundred gentlemen who were fond
Of racing would feel safe in going to the races"
Many Old turfmen in this land could not be induced
to go to trOt, ana they seem to despise all VINO
do. General Buford, Of Kentucky, is one of those
men who believe in the thoroughbred horse, with a
pedigree going back to the Godolphn Arabian and
''nothing shorter" gentleman who owned trot-
ting mares and stations, and was large breeder
in Kentucky once asked the General If he did think
Nellie Gray would produce a good trotter in
case she was bred TO a trotting stallion. This
"riled" the General, and he replied, ''Yes, q
very good trotter no doubt, and, sir should breed
her to Maltese Iackass have no doubt she would
produce good mule, d-n you."
The owners Of raceh0rses at Monmouth Park,
who wish to enter for the Schell Cup, would oblige
the handicappers by placing the names OF their re-
spectve horses in the entry box on Tuesday after
noon, SO that the weights assigned TO them may be
promulgated on Saturday during the races on that
day.
Mcdaniel Co. only send one Of their great
stable to Monmouth Park to the great delight OF
other owners OF horses there and turfmcn gener
ally as had Harry Bassett been sent down he would
have had walk over In oil the races that he is
gagged in, which would have spoiled the sport in all
the leading events Of the meeting.
The railroad facilities to Monmouth Park have
been greatly improved since the last meeting, and
the time occupied in going and returning from the
races will be lessened.

BUFFALO TR0TT1NG MEETING.

Locking over the entries and Judging from pre-
vions performances, public and private time, that
have transpired, the best horses in the various
purses will most likely be as fOlows:-
In the purse for four-ycarolds and under the colt
that beats Rowe's Tommy will very probably be the
winner.
For the 2:27 purse Mr.. wallace's bay gclding
George has the most speed, Lulu next One or the
other should win.
Among the ten entries for the 2:40 purse the win
ner will most probably be Gomez or Strideaway
Gomez Is In the three minute purse, and IL win
surprise his owner If there is one in that class that
can beat him without he is pulled, as he has been
undoubtedly several times since he made his ap-
pearance on the turf.
There four entries for the 2:21 purse and If Jay
Gould cannot win that race after what he did last
year on the same ground, he has retr0graded In
form and speed. He trotted In 2:22 at that time.
Neither Susie, Huntress nor w. Fl. Allen has been
there yet on trOt.
The purses for horses that have never trotted
better than 2a4 have but three entries and take
the race to be very open one. Kiburn Will most
likely be the favOrite.
The trot for Ave-year-olds and under has five
entries, and the favorites win be Zilcaldie and
ROwe's Tommy.
The $4,000 purse for horses that have beaten
2:3o has ten entrics the winner Of which should be
Mr. Harker's Gazelle; still there Is o Golddust
In 1t that will 60 low down in the twen-
ties. HickOk's st. Elmo is also entered
for the purse, and II he wins 1t every
trotting man In the country will be satisfied that
this horse has been pulled In every race that he has
trotted for the past three years. The pulling has
been exposed in the HERALD from time to time.
OF the many horses entered In the 1850 purse
little Is known, except by their immediate friends,
and, Of course, they do not require advice. There
are seven green entries to puzzle the sharps who
control the pool box.
The 2:25 purse will be won by either Judge Full
lerton or Nonsuch, or else the slate will be broken.
The extra purse for PAGERS to come OF on Satur-
day. August g. win be a sharp AFFAIR; but If Billy
BOyce is as good horse as he was when he was in
this neigbborhoOd q few years ago, he viii win; II
not, the race will fall to Dan Voorhees,, as the
latter can pace in the "teens."

GREAT NEWSPAPER ACHIEVEMENT.
We think we know something Of newspaper en-
terpriae. A paper that has, like the Ledger, pub
ished original contributions from the President Of
the United Sta tes members Of the Cabinet and
Senators in Congress, and from Edward a! Everett
George Bancroft Charles Dickens, William Cullen
Bryant, the presidents Of twelve Of the lead, lead
ing colleges, and innumerable articles from
the pens OF the principal bishops, doctors Of
divinity ana elergymen, to say nothing 9, : nH OF
numberless other distinguished writer's, ought to
know what newspaper enterprise Is. And from our
point Of view and experience, we do not hesitate
to say that the New York HERALD's Livingstone
expedition is the greatest achievement IN the way
Of newspaper enterprise which the world has ever
seen. The audacity In the conception. the liDer,
ality In the outlay, and the vg0r skill and courage
with which the enterprise was carried to compile
tion were all worthy Of great metropolitan Jour-
nal and deserve the heartiest recognition from the
entire newspaper world.
