were seldom or never seen on this Continent. The
track was very heavy from the rain OF the previous
day, and, as a matter OF course, the time was not
as good as would otherwise have been made. The
stoutest horses won the fat races. Four events
were on the card, the first being the Fordham
Handicap Sweepstakes; the second, the Belmont
Stakes; the third, purse race for all ages, ana
the fourth, a steeple chase.
The FOrdham Handicap Sweepstakes closed with
thirty-eight entries, OF which number nine came to
the post. These were M. II. Sanlord's brown colt
Mate BY Australia, dam Matte Gross, and the
same gentleman's bay horse Preakness. by LeXing
ington, dam bay Leaf; d. J. Crouse's chestnut colt
Business, by Revolver, dam syren; A. Belmonts
gray colt Gray Planet, by Planet, dam Eagess; d.
Mcdaniel 4 Co.'s bay colt Boss Tweed, by Asteroid
dam Alabama; Buckley Tuliy's bay colt Buckden
by Lord Clirden, dam Consequence; A. c. Monson's
bay gelding VIM by Kentucky, dam verbena; W
p. Babcock's bay fly Hattie O'Neil, by Bay Dick
dam Scythian, and Carroll Coars brown morse
Ortolan by Donerail, dam Canary Bird. Ortolan
was great iavorite over any OF the others and
lots OF money was thrown away on him. Never
before in his whole racing career did he run 80
poorly as ne did yesterday. After going three
quarters OF mile he suddenly collapsed, and, from
being first ANONYMOUSLY retired 10 the rear Orto-
Ian won this race last year with four pounds more
on MS DaCk, Ill Two SECONDS less tilnc IMAM was
made on the present occasion. he was
said to be in good condition and certainly
looked as well as at any previous meeting,
but there is no doubt that II Ortolan could talk
sufficient reasons could be given for ms defeat.
The race was won by Mr. Santordis Mate. Prcakness
second. The winner is very finc-looking race
horse, and he came in at the finish with some
thing to spare. SO did Preakness Mauc ran four
times last year, winning twice, 1rsL for purse nj
Jerome Park, q mile and Il quarter, beating Elsie
and Margin; the second time at Monmouth PARK,
he beat Extract, John Doe, Mildew and Boss Tweed,
mile and three-auarters. He ran second to 10
Daniels for the Jerome Stakes, beating Meteor and
True Blue and was beaten in the Dixie Stakes at
Baltimore by Hubbard, 10 Daniels and True Blue.
He has improved in appearance since then, ana Is
o much stOuter horse Business very re-
spectacle race and secured third place. Gray
Planet is not IN his element in mud; neither was
BuckdeD. Hattie ONcIl and Vim had no business
in such company.
The second race--the Belmont Stakes-was a
grand affair, as 1t always has been since Inc in
auguration OF Jerome Park. For tnIs stake there
were sevcnty-tVe entries; but, when Mr.. WheatIy
finished weighing the Jockeys for the race he
found they numbered but ten, many owners OF
other entries not wishing to endanger Their horses
on 80 heavy course The three-yearoids that
came to the post were:-D. McDaners chestnut
colt Springbok by Australian, dam Hester; A.
