SPORT.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, July23. Great eX-
citement prevails among horsemen in
reference to the coming meeting at
Cleveland between the celebrated horses
Judge Fullerton and Camors. Fullerton
is New York horse and Camors is
owned in Boston. Each has a host
of friends, and the animals both made
some record, 2:2l3; Camors, at Pros
pect park last September, and Fullerton
ai Saratoga in October. Each having
defeated the other, the knowing-ones say
it will be difficult to name the favorite.
Goldsmith Maid, American Girl and
Lucy are named for the free-for-alI, and
speculation is rife in reference to the
second place in this race. 1t conceded
by all that the meeting has brought to-
gejneT the finest field of horses ever
known III America.
