TIE RACING.

TEE RACING.
The admirers and judges OF good racing were
charmed yesterday with the sport that came on at
Jerome Park The weather was delightful, the track
In capital condition and fast running was the re-
suit Five races were on the card: the first dash
Of mile and quarter between seven three-year-
olds; the second dash OF q mile and three-quar-
ters; the third the westchester Cup; the fourth a
hack race by members Of the Club, and the nlth
hurdle race.
The first was for purse for three year-ods, with
penalties for the winners Of the Belmont and LADIES'
Stakes but neither OF these put In an appearance.
The starters were John +. Chamberlin's bay colt
Survivor, by yandal, Cam by Lexington; M. A.
Llttell's chestnut colt Fellowcraft, by Austria
Ian, dam Aerolite; ID. d. Wlthers' bay colt
Stonehenge, by Blair Athol dam Coimbra;
A. B. Lewis h Co.'s bay colt Bob Johnston, by
hunters Lexington, dam by oliver James A.
Grinsteads chestnut llly Eclair by Lightning. dam
Brenna; ]. w. Pennock's bay colt by Planet, dam
Rebecca I. Price; q. Bells bay colt McFadden, by
Lightning, dam Nora Creina. Survivor was the
favorite in the majority of the pools sold; but
Stonenenge in many Of them overtopped him. Joe
Johnson was the third In favor, as every one knew
he was dangerous colt when he 1elt in a running
mood but he is one OF the uncertain kind, liable
to sulk and stop at any time during the race. He
ran kind at Baltimore and made good race. He
was backed to do the like yesterday; but 1t turned
out his day to sulk, and he was badly beaten by
three OF the starters. Mr.. Chamberlin's colt
Survivor won the race very handily, Mr. Littell's
Felowcrait running second and Stonehenge
third. Stonehenge followed Survivor when
the latter made his run for the lead after
running little over half o mile and succeeded in
reaching second place; but after going mile he
was pumped out and Fellowcraft overlook him
and beat him home. None OF the Others were OF
any account in race with 80 good colt as Sur
vivor at any distance The winner is mag
nincenty formed colt, with strikingly racing ap-
pearance. He runs close to the earth, and makes
very little apparent exertion In getting over the
ground. There was q great deal OF money won
and lost on the result OF this race. Fifteen hun
dred and ffty-twO pools were sold on the race IN
the French MuJuals alone.
The second race was for purse, the distance be-
ing one mile and three-quarters. The entries were

Wanderer cut out the work at the start and showed
the way to the end. True Blue being second. The
latter became very restive when taken to
the starting place, and it was with difficulty
seemed inclined to run the other way He looked
rather thin in fesh and did not start with the
same vim that he showed at Baltimore. He was so
long in getting in motion when the nag fell that he
was fifteen or twenty lengths behind the leader at
the stand after running quarter OF mile, and 1t
was our impression then tnat ne would nave TO be
the best horse the world II he could shut up such
gap and win the race rom so good horse as
Wanderer. True Blue did outrun and beat all the
others in the race; but he could not Overtake
Wanderer The race was remarkably fast one,
and the winning OF the cup In the time made, 404,
stamps Wanderer a race horse of o superior order.
Wanderer and True Blue will meet again on the
sth OF July at Monmouth Park, in race for the
Monmouth Cup Eous m ran a. steady good race

away at the start it was the general impression

was to win the race, and not until the Wanderer

renee was slow in getting away, and was fourth at
the finish. He was the favorite before the start at
even money against the field. Many OF his friends
lost heavily.
The closing event OF the day was handicap hur-
die race between j. @. X. Lawrence's chestnut
horse village Blacksmith and Peter Waldens bay
horse Victor, the former carrying $50 pounds and
the latter l34 pounds. There we're pools on this
race, as 1t was an impromptu affair the hurdle
race announced to take place having lallen through
by the withdrawal at the last moment OF one OF the
horses and after thousands OF dollars had been
wagered on the result village Blacksmith won
the race with lots to spare.
