THE RACING.


the first being mile heats best three in five; the
second twomile dash for three year-ods, and the
third & handicap steepe chase, all OF which were
spiritedy contested throughout and gave general
satisfaction to the spectators.
For the first race-Jersey Jockey Club purse
there were three starters comprising John Coffees
gray colt Donnybrook, by Lightning; I. b. Il W.
r. Davis chestnut horse Fadladeen, by War Dance,
and 10. DOnahue's bay colt Artist, by Asteroid.
The latter was the favorite, Fadladeen the second
choice, DounybrOOk having many hackers that
were willing to pay good prices tor him. After the
first heat, which was won by Fadladeen, the latter
sold for favOrlte once, and then Artist was bought
for favorite. He won the second third and fourth
heats and the race. Fadladeen seemed to be lame
and still IN his hind quarters, and he pulled up
very lame after the last heat. The winner OF the
race Is a very excellent horse, and yesterday had
ne been called on for an exhibition Of speed, could
have made his heats as last as they were ever
made at Monmouth Park. D0nDybr0ok was sent
to the stable alter the third heat.
The second race-the Monmouth Sequel Stakes

nominations. These were p. LOrilards chestnut

the race in gallant style, he having been ridden
with great Judgment by Feeks, who made no un-
necessary use OI the colt until a mile and half
had been covered. He then moved MN up. and as
lie approached The leaders, as they were entering
in 'front.' aud mad an easy victory, making most eX-
traordlnary time. Planter was badly ridden and
race There was necessity tor his running
away four or five lengths from the others the first
ioiiow W him on Dublin without he was obeyng
by trying va TAKE the .se lead a,oa and
little Judgment, but this not to be expected
from the little darkey who guided her. she was
third al the hnisn, and ran Tor the lead from be-
ginning to end. Reform scored his first win yes
terday, this being his eleventh attempt, having
run SIX times as two-year-old and this was his
flth appearance this season as q three-year old.
He started first this spring IN the Witner's Stakes,
and won place, being third AZ the finish: then
lie then ran in the mile dash for three-y ear-olds
with beaten and maiden allowances, which was
won by Attilla, but did not get place. He then
came to Monmouth Park and ran IN the Jersey
Derby, but tar from the front at the finish
as he was in the Belmont Stakes Yesterday he
in the Paris Mutuels. This race proved
that Reform mas just reached the fine
Capable ca Of going on much further when he was
pulled up. TWO miles oy three-year-old, with 10
lbs In the saddle, IN 1887 ~ mas never been Oeaten
but once, and that by Harry Bassett at Saratoga,

and Lawrence and q. LOrillard's chestnut geidlng
Bullet by Bulletin, 1853 lbs George West was the
favOrite in the pools, as 1t was not believed
ana sna' aue beating a' over that distance Of
ground. Bullet, however, sold up even with
George West IN many pools and was not lar behind
in any OF them. The race Jay between tnese TWO
capital stceplechasers and tney ran good race,
George West winning cieverely. NO accident hap
pened IN the way OF fall or breakdown, and the
only mistake made was by Aerolite boiling ut the
water jump In front OF the stand.
