THE RACING.

The admirers Of the turf had another good days
racing at Monmouth Park yesterday afternoon.
The specuiat0rs-thOse who make horses great
favorites, In many instances without reason-mer
with heavy losses, as the iavorites were beaten IN
the first and second races aud even in the third
race, with Tom Bowling left out Of the pools they
were losers again. The track was in fine order,
but was not fast. The first Of the three races was
for the Hopeful Stakes, for two-yearolds dash Of
half a mile which had seven starters the second
race two mile heats, and the third the Monmouth
Cup a dash or two miles and half.
The Hopeful Stakes closed with twenty-four
nominations seven OF which came to the post
These were August Belmont's chestnut fly Caroline
by Kentucky, dam imported Camilla; L. A.
Hitchcock's chestnut nly lno, by Daniel Boone.
dam Isadore Hill; p. Loriilard's bay colt James A.
by bennington, dam Maiden; F. Norris bay flly,
by Eclipse, dam Prophecies; John F. Cnamberiin's
gray FLY Lizzie r., by Aster, dam Fairy !;
F. w. Hunt Reynolds chestnut iily Amelia, by
Australian, dam La Grande Duchesse. and Ii. p
McGrath's chestnut colt Aristides by bennington,
dam Sarong. Mr.. Lorillard's colt James A. was
the first choice in the pools Lizzie r. the second
in favor and the field, comprising no and Caroline
being the third in demand. Unfortunately for Mr.
McGrath and Chamberlin their entries did not get
away with the others, and were beaten before they
with apparent ease, m1cn to the delight OF those
who have been backing and losing on this stable
during the present racing season. They seem to
think that change will now take place, and
that victory will perch hereafter on the
maroon and red. as 1t has done In the past MI
Htchcock's flly Ino second and Mr.. Lorillard's
James A. third. This was "betting race" IN the
fullest meaning OF the term the pools being quite
numerous and of good proportions.
The second race was the De6t or the OaV, as IL
was spiritedly contested throughout three very
fine heats being required 10 settle the anair' Ihere
post These were John COffee's gray colt DOnny-
brook, by Lightning, dam Jessamine Porter; James
Franklin'S bay mare Arizona, by Lexington, dam
Imported Zone; M. A. Littes chestnut colt Fellow
craft by Australian, dam Aerolite; H. P. McGrath's
Lawrence and G. Lorlllard's bay horse shylock, by
Lexington. dam Edith. Before the race Pc oe-
was 5ne as after G
zona won the first heat she sold for Two TO one
over the field. Donnyprook won the second heat
and then the betting changed again, and the gray
colt had the call at two TO one. DOnnybrook won
a good race alter three finely contested heats.
proving himself avery good and reliable horse.
''C The great event OF the day, however, was the
racehorse at present IN Amerlca-rom Rowling
was announced to run Tor 1t, and he won 1t in u
canter. Three other horses came to the post to
contest for the second and third moneys amount
ing to $3.50. which had TO be taken out OF the
stakes, Lne .WnOlt dulUuuJ VI WuiCu Wis b. tVos
The horses that started with Tom Bowling
were j. w. Hunt Reynolds bay colt Whisper,
Messrs. Ransom Bahcocks bay colt Ransom,
and p. L0rillard's chestnut horse Village Black
smith. In the pools sold without Tom Bowling
Village Blacksmith was q great fav0rite Ransom
the second choice and Whisper third, the LATTER
having many friends to back him to win. Whisper
was second to Tom Bowling, and, as a matter OF
course those VINO bet on him won their pools. VII
mile from the finish and it Is feared will never
appear again in race. whisper is wen ofeo
horse of good size, with very lair turn Of speed.
The time made by Tom Bowling IN TINS race was
far hehind that made by Helmoold Tor the same
trophy at the same place July 80, 1870 which was
4:33L. The time yesterday was 4:42A but T0m's
