tehuance OF H. OOO persons or both sexes and very
teresting and exciting amusement There can be no
cause to complain Of the success Of the meeting both
in the patronage has received and the character of
the trotng OF the latter it is only necessary re-
mind the HERALD readers that in the races Of
the three days there have been twenty-seven heats
disposed OF, the slowest of which was 2:2S% while
the fastest was 2S the others being in the neighbor
hood OF 2O and during these heats previous records
were beaten by half dozen of the contestants
There were three events on the card to-day-the
245 and :23 races, and the running contest St. Julien
won the former in three straight heats This young
horse is wonder. He belongs to MIR. Galway of New
York. and has secured first money in six races every
one in which he has appeared this season. Seven weeks
ago he had never appeared in public and tomorrow
he viii be sent back to Goshen there to remain
until next year. unless his owner parts with
him, which is unlikely. The 2:23 race had eight
contestants. 1t was hot from beginning end Music
winning it after four heats great overthrow for the
old veterans of the betting fraternity The running
race brilliantly finished the days amusement This
contest entirely experiment of the management
While New Englanders in general take great interest in
the development of the trottng horse they pay but little
attention to the breeding and raising of horoughbreds
In fact there portions Of the East bitterly opposed
to this SPORT but to-day's contest may effect great
revolution in public sentiment hereabous in this par
ticular it received with continued cheers of ap
probation The time may yet come and that soon
when the handsome inner field Of the Charter Oak Park
will contain steepechase course. 1t would pay and
greatly interest all Corners Kad proved the winner to-
day in two heats
