| The first Eve horses sold at par in the
pools. The New York Herald thus de-
scribes the race:
After considerable time had been cut
10 waste by the breakaways Of Harka-
way the flag fell TO . very fair start.
Patriot first, Lady Sslyers second, Hark-
away third, Maumee fourth, Queens
Ton fifth, Circle sixth, BJou seventh.
The horses ran rapidly around the up
per turn, where Lady Salyefs assumed
the lead and showed clear of the others
at the quarter pole, Patriot second half
length in front Of Maumee. who was
half q length in advance Of Harkaway,
Queenston fifth, Oriole sixth, Bijou
seventh. Lady Salyers showed the
way down the backstretch by length,
and passed the half-mile pole by that
advantage. Maumee second, head in
front OF Harkaway and Patriot, Oriole
| fifth, Queenston sixth, Byou seventh.
Lady Salyers led around the lower turn,
and seemed to have something to spare.
When the horses swung into the home
stretch Lady Salyers was clear Of Oriole,
who was second, Harksway third; and
just about this time HaFkaway fell back,
having broker down IN his of foreieg.
Lady SayeTs fed UP the homestretch
until just on the post, when Oriole, on
the outside, pushed her head in front
and won the race, Lady Salyers second.

TEN BRoRcK's RACING DAYs Over.
The Lorillards have swept the plat
ter, aud will do so as long as they can
bring such stables OF high bred young
sters and tried aged ones 10 face the
starter. The rivalry and betting be-
tween the two brothers is very great;
in fact, they say that they appreciate a
victory over each other far more than
success as against outsiders. For the
cups and purse distance races p. Lo-
rillard's Parole heads the Inst in the east.
while the Duke Of Magenta, owned by
George, is so far superior TO any three
year old in the wess that il thoroughly
solaces his popular owner for Ochiitree's
non-appearance. The clever correspon-
dent Of the Spirit of The Times gives the
merits of the two-year olds, and awards
| the FIRST place to'tbe last Of The Lexing-
tons, Uncas, foil brother 10 Wandefer,
but still Harold has beaten him once, and
the honors, go far, are even, but the Lex
ingtons improve so with age that il is but
fair to presume that in his three and four
year old form he will leave Harold farm
the rear. p. LorIllard's three, Parole,
Spartan and Uncas, and the two of his
brother George Duke Of Magenta andHa-
rold, would make noble stable TO send
to any country, but could the Derby
winner, Day Star and the great Him
var, with Leveller and Solicitor, be adj
ded. England would find it difficult
task to wrest a prize from them. Of
course, Ten Broeck's racing days are
over, as he is retired to the stud, sound
