American Jockey Club.

The Fall Meeting of the American Jockey
Club at Jerome Park will close this after
noon. The meeting has been a success so
far as the racing has been concerned, and
from the appearance of the assemblagcs
each day we should suppose it has pros
pered financially. The racing this after
noon will be highly interesting, there being
no less than five events on the card. The
first of these will be the Annual Sweep
stakes, for three-year-olds, two miles. The
Duke of Magenta, Spartan and Garrick are
the only colts that will run out of the thirty
three original nominations. It seems
hardly possible for either Spartan or Gar
rick to beat The Duke at the distance but
it may be done, nevertheless, and it GER
the stakes are worth about $4,000. The
second event will be the Homebred Produce
Stakes, for two-year-olds, three-quarters of
mile. This stake has sixty-six nomina.
tions, six of which will start These are
Mr.. F. Morris bay colt, by Wsrminster,
dam Remorseless; Mr.. A. Belmont's Fiddle
string, by Kingfsher, dam Filigree ; Mr. H.
p McGrath's Mary Ann, by bennington,
dam Susan Ann; Mr.. d. D. Withers' Bet
tina, by Stonehenge, dam Mimi Mr.. p.
Lorillard's Cedric, by Saxon, dam Fanny
Ludlow. and +. Stearns, Jr's, Farley, by
Alroy, dam Lady Culpepper. This will be
a capital race, and from what we have seen
of the starters the Warminster- -Remorseless
colt will be found hard to beat by any Of
the others. Following this will be race
for purse of $500, two miles and quar-
ter, the entries for which are Mr.. G. L.
Lorillard's Loulanier, years old, to carry
los lbs. Mr.. p. Lorillard's Parole, years
old, 126 lbs. Messrs. T. Puryear & Co.'s
Danicheff, 3 years old, 100 lbs, and Mr..
Belmonts Susquehanna, 4 years old. 12O
lbs. Loulanier beat Danicheff and Parole
the same distance on Thursday last, with
six pounds less on her back, while the
colt had three pounds more, and this
nine pounds difference may change their
positions at the finish. Parole carries one
pound more than then, and there is no
doubt that he will make q better race
than he did on Thursday, as his stable CON-
panion, Garrick, appeared to be the one
selected to win with, and he only failed by
q head This will be grand race, and
Parole, if he is as good horse as lie was
when he beat Tom Ochiltree for the Sara
toga Cup last year, will win it If not, not.
Susquehannas penalty of five pounds for
winning the Alabama Stakes last year re-
duces her chances of success to almost
ha MI ha -
Messing. After this the spectators will be
treated to spin of three-quarters of mile
by Ave two-year-ods. The contestants
will be Mr.. G. L. Lorillards Startle (the colt
left at the post on Thursday, Messrs. Nelson
& Co.'S Brother to Cuba, Mr.. McGrath's
wissahickon, Messrs. Lewis 4 Co.'S Sur
prise and Mr. j. A. Smiths Lillian. This
will be q doubtful affair until the young
sters pass the seven furlong pole, and even
longer. Brother to Cuba makes his first
appearance, and If he can run as we'll as
his appearance would warrant he ought to
win the race. The sports of the day will
close with handicap steeplechase, over
the usual course. For this there are seven
entries, comprising Mr.. A. ID. Browns
Problem, carrying 157 lbs. the same gen.
tleman's Derby, 152 lbs; Mr.. i. Woods
Deadhead, 1853 lbs. Mr.. Callahan's Bay
Rum, 144 lbs. Mr.. Taylor's Lord Zetland,
1873 lbs, and Messrs. Daily Brothers Lizzie
d., 110 lbs, and their horse Patriot, 13S
lbs The contest between Problem and
Deadhead will be good one, alone worth
q visit to Jerome Park.
