in which sixty horses were entered. giving quite large
fields OF starters in each race. With such tempting
inducements held forth there quite exodus OF
the patrons Of racing from the city, and the 80 NJ
and II 40 A. M. boats OF the Southern Railroad carried
about six hundred passengers to the track. Tho sail
down the bay was perfectly delightful after leaving
the heat and glare OF the city. and all landed at
their destination thoroughly refreshed with their
aquatic excursion. Both boats connected with tho

gers, making the trip In about an hour and
twenty minutes. II the management could water tho
short piece Of road leading from the Southern Rail-
road depot to the grand stand it would be favor that
the pedestrians would appreciate, at present the
hacks running between these two points raise such
cloud Of dust that the walking very disagresable
THE LONG BRANCH DELEGATION.
Quite q large portion OF the racing patrons have
been stopping at Long Branch during the week, and
is by far the peasantest system If not detained by
business in New York. Tho fascination of tho pool
box, from which Now Workers and even the patrons
Of Hoboken are now debarred, forms another induce
ment, as there is selling on tho different
events the evening previous and the forming OF the
days at both the Vest End and Ocean House. 1t
was quite delightful yesterday, as Notwithstanding
the heat OF the sun there was cool ana refreshing
sea breeze that lasted all the morning. After break
tast tho morning papers digesed the regulation
sigar consumed, there was general move the
beach and quite number proceeded TO enjoy the
tutinal bath. Bathing is In the early stages ut
present, and nothing very brilliant in the costume
line has made its appearance yet. After the bath
light lunch was in order, and then tho hotels
deserted Tor the raco track. good many people
preferred to 60 out en- the quarter past one r. n.
train, as the roads are rather too dusty
to make the driving pleasant. Those that
have their own traps generally drive out,
and yesterday about one r. NJ there were at the least
forty or fifty private turnouts on the road. Dodd's
coach and SIX, that here last season, Is greatly
missed, as y afforded very pleasant means OF
transportation TO the back. II Is odd that
some enterprsing Nimrod does not bring coach
down TO the Branch for a couple OF months, as 1t
would make money running daily trip to Asbury
Park and return Tho passengers by the train had all
the best OF the route yesterday as aer leaving Long
Brancn village the dust was very annoying on the
road.
