Courtmey's Defeat.

Couftney's defeat at Silver Lake shows
the folly Of going into race without being
ready. 1t would have been far wiser for
him, knowing he was out of condition, to
have remained quietly at Owasco Lake than
to have his long and brilliant list of victo-
ries thus suddenly and unexpectedly be-
clouded. He had in Frenchy Johnson,
black though he is, no mean competitor.
When Courtney beat him last fall the
HERALD told johnson that if he could get
plenty Of good coaching he would do far
faster work than he had till then shown, for
he is man of great bodily strength. Easily
the champion Of New England. it is to-day
very doubtful whether there is another man
in this country, save Courtney, who can out
scull him. That the latter could, no one
heretofore doubted, nor does the recent
race show to the contrary. Courtney said
beforehand that he was not well. He took
twenty-four minutes and forty-nine Sec
onds-a mere walk-over pace-to row three
miles, never being In his usual place--the
front-at all, while johnson won in twenty.
one minutes and twenty-nine seconds, and
that on dead smooth water. But Courtney
covered the Saratoga course in twenty min.
utes and fifteen seconds, the fastest time
ON record. which makes it plain enough
where Johnson would be with him were
Courtney all right. This defeat has
taught the latter one. thing--the terrible
risk he will run if he goes into the great
race with Hanlan at all out of condition
and points out what little thing it takes
to make one lose a race, no matter how
good man he may be when all right.

The Polo GAMES Mt Buffalo and Newport
yesterday were of more than ordinary interest,
not only on account of the skill shown by the
players, but because of the character of the
contests and the large and distinguished num-
ber of spectators. The Wcstchester Club, it
will he seen, was beaten by tho Queens County
Hunt Club after spirited contest. At Long
Branch the games were postponed, owing to the
unfavorablc condition of the ground.
