THE TURF.
Sor LESS THAN 5000 PERSONS
vcro at the Jockey Club track yesterday to VII"
ness the three races on the programme, chlot
among which WAS that between Rarus and Hope
ful. 1t was expected TINT this event would bc
nm intensely interesting one, nnd prophecies
wcrc freely mado tint the winner would ba
obliged to trot three heats IN 2:t7or buttcr.
Rarus was ready to do this, as be afwaYs is, but
no such task was before him, since Hopctul'a
heart was broken In tic first heat and aftor TINT
tho little gray was OF no moro account ia tho
raco that, 2:4o horse. Those who had built
thcr hopes and theories on his performances last
fall against time wcro doomed to Sec
tl,cls aIr-castlcs demolished in u very summary
manner by the big and handsome son OF Conk-
lin's Abdalah. Trotting agatnst time Is ono
thing, but when horse exchanges watch In
the timers 'stat,d for u real 1esh and1blood an-
taeon1st, mud especially one like Rarua. that
after going to tho nalf-tniio In 1.Q3 will come
homo in 1:07,
he HAS BUSINESS on HAND.
There cau be no cxcusc for 1lopoful's per-
1osmauce yesterday on tho ground Of bis not
being in condition. lie was good horse on tho
Fourth Of July, when ho trotttd three heats
that averaged 2:2O ovoE track that WAS at lcast
,wo seconds slower than that over which ho
travelled ycstarday; and ho has rot lost form
since then, Tho truth Is that ho quilt Rarus
laid oyer him 30 mich that there
was no comparison botweou tile two. This
vas platnly shown III tho second heat,
ghuu Iasus actually logged under lilo wlro in
9:ot, with Hopetnl full 100 feet In the rear.
Tho rnco may be described BY saving that IN the
trsttwo lleats Hopeful led to the three-qunrter
polo III fast time, but when John SpEan sent
lsarus to him, tho gray would stop, IS tho COM
mon expression goes, '*lke stcer." In tho
last leat Ra2ls was sent nlong to show spccd,
aud flushed the snlla easily In 9:18, although u
bruak at the finish set him back somewhat
rI1g 2:2U RACE
Will be long remembered In turf annals as ono
Of tho most stubbornly-contestcd events OF the
present year. Among the ten borsca that
1tarsea there was not slnglo poor ono,
and, as all wanted to win, there was
no lct.up In the struggle for frat place from
tho timo the bell tapped for tho 1rst heat until
tho last ono lad becn trottcd and won. 1t took
four hours Of hard worx and alx hcats to de-
:ttlu tilc race, but tho Chicago horso Charley
Ford, who fought for every heat, finally won au
extremely cre.lftab1e Victory. Iho time OF tue
heats, which ranges from 2::22 to 2:eGs1, shows
