not surprise me to learn that he has n
trick of making himself widowcr three

THE RACING.

A most excellent track and delightful weather
seemed TO please both horse and rider yesterday
afternoon as the racing was OF a most superior
order. Four events were on the card, comprising
the Ladies' Stakes for three year-old FLIES; the
Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes, a selling race
OF a mile and furlong and mile heats.
The LADIES' Stakes Tor three yearod nllles closed
with forty-three nominations, OF which eight came
TO the post. These were d. Mcdaniel & Co.'s chest.
nut 1lly Katie Pease by Planet, dam Minnie Mans
field; W. Cottrilrs bay flly salne Watson, by
Daniel Boone, dam Maggie G.. X. W. Sears brown

nut flly Eciair by Lightning, dam Brenna; A. Bel
monts chestnut flly Electra by Kentucky, dam
Bernice, and the same gentleman's bay nlly Me-
dora, by Kentucky, dam Camilla. Cottrill's en-
tries were the favorites, McDaniels nlly second
choice. The latter won the race, Mr.. Cottrilrs sal
lie Watson second Mr. Sears bennington lilly
was third. The winner OF this race Is a most
beautifully finished Oily, with great power for one
OF her size. She ran four times as two-year. old
winning once. This was at Saratoga on the 22d OF
August. in free handicap carrying 90 lbs. one
mile, in which she beat Merodac, Minnie W. and
Pennocks Jack Malone fly she was beaten at
Fordham by Springbok and Minnie w. n We mr.
longs and in the Nursery Stakes by wildidle. Long
Branch and Catesby, and In the Kentuck
stakes by Silk stocking, Reviler, Gates
by, Electra and Strachino. Katie Pease has
changed wonderfully with the year, and IL
il very doubtful whether any OF those who
beat her last year shave license" TO do so this.
sallie Watson ran good race, but why she should
have been the favorite we were at loss to know
Mr. Cottrn SAID she had never run longer dis.
lance than mile heats ana never carried heavier
weights than 81 hs. Here she had TO pile up LOT
lbs and run mile and five furlongs. There Is no
doubt that her race with Tom Bowling at Lexng.
ton. at the Spring meeting, wnen she made that
famous colt run two heats OF q mile and repeat
race in 1 :43,1 each had the eject OF making her
hackers lay out their money so wildly. Great mis-.
takes are frequently made here on horses that have
won fast record IN the West or South. Our people
do not reject on the difference OF weight carried
IN that section and here. Again, horses are very
apt TO lose some OF their "iootr by travel In
the OF three or four days, and II
sometimes takes whole season to get
them back TO the speed they left home with There

CRICKET.

Match Between tho st. Georges and
staten Island Clubs-A Six Hit md the
Rail- Lost In tho Swamp-Jones, OF st.
Georges, the Capturer OF Six Wickets-
The Match To BE Continued To-day.
Yesterday afternoon, at three O'Clock, wickets
were pitched at the Hoboken Cricket Ground for
return match between the Staten Island and st.
Georges clubs the former having been defeated in
the match played at Staten Island on Decoration
Day. A considerable number Of visitors, including
ladies. were on the ground, and the weather was
all that could be desired by the most enthusiastic
cricketer. The st. Georges having won the choice
for innings, elected to go in, and sent couple OF
their steady bats in-viz, Jones and smith
the former having considerably distinguished
himself by his batting against the English Eleven
last year. Alter q short time he scored thirteen,
principally of Brewster's bowling one Of his hits
being magnificent drive OF six over bower's
head into the marsh outside the cricket ground,
where It imbedded itself like a spent cannon ball
and was consequently lost Smith scored thirteen
very clever play scored twenty-seven, including
several fine leg hits. The Heldlng OF the Staten
Island Club was good, II not brilliant, but they were
unfortunate in playing without Outerbridge The
on account OF 1t being easily 'collared." The st.
Georges Club played two men short, and their
eighth wicket fell Tor seventy-iour runs.
THE STATEN ISLAND
The Staten Island then went 10 the wicket after
dinner and sent in Filmer and Davis, who made
each but short innings and, in fact, the only stand
made was by Tucker, who scored seven Jones
captured no less than six wickets and gained great
applause for his bowling and catching. The field
ing OF the st. Georges was excellent. The match
Is to be continued this afternoon, when the st.
Georges Will commence their innings At three
O'Clock The following are the scores:-

The Boston Club played and defeated the Allan
tics on the Union Grounds yesterday. in the
presence OF about twelve hundred persons. The
fielding on the part OF the visitors was almost
iaultless but three errors being charged to them
during the entire game. Unfortunately for the At
lantics, as much cannot be said In their favor, al
though at times they showed to remarkably good
advantage. Ferguson, Dehlman and Barlow filed
their positions well, the latter taking q very hot
nv tip straight from the bat. For the Bostons, all
did well; Spaulding and Manning, however, lead.
