that day we anticipate witnessing the largest con-

similar to those that were wont to meet at EPSON
on the Derby days may be looked for on the open
ing day, as the gates Oh an American race course
will be thrown open free the people for the first
time on that occasion, and kept SO during the
meeting
Four races are on the card for that day. the first
being the Long Branch grand national steeple
chase, for all ages, the distance being about three
miles. The second race will be a dash OF one mile
by all ages. The third race will be mile heats. and
the fourth race the great event of the day, the
Jersey Derby Stakes, which closed with forty-nine
nominations, comprising such wonderful colts
and FLIES as Mr.. McGraths bay colt Tom
Bowling, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fow-

Harry Bassett and he may be SO for all we know;
but when he meets Tom Bowling the Kentuckians
Will be much mistaken If Tom Bowling does not
show Springbok the way up the homestretch at
the finish about as easily as Longfellow did Harry
Bassett. But 1t is not certainty that either Of
them will win the stake. MIR. Belmont's pair are
good ones, Count D0rsay being beaten by Spring.
