MINTZEn AT BALTIMORE.
The races at Pimlico Park, Baltimore, last
week, were especially interesting from the
large number of cracks contesting for su-
premacy IN the different events. The tri-
umph of DR.. Mintzer's horse Mintzer, in the
two mile and an eighth dash, Thursday,
while not unexpected, was received with q
good deal of satisfaction here, where the
horse is owned. Full particulars of the race
have not been received, further than that
there were six starters, Ferida coming
in second and Lonlanier third; time 85811G6.
There were in all thirty-eight nominations
for the event-so the stake was q rich one
among them beside the three securing
places in the race, Glenmore, Belle,
Fortuna, Checkmate, Bonnie Car
rie, L'Argenteen, Keene Richards, Jr.,
Himyar and Dave Moore, and others of al
most If not of equal note. The accounts
received by telegraph of the great four-mile
and repeat races are still more meagre.
Mintzer was nominated for this event, but
it is evident he did not start, his race of
Thursday probably not leaving him in con-
dition for such a trying effort. Previous to
the race it was generally thought to be be-
tween Mintzer, Loulanisr, L'Argenteen,
1lov 90 1,,k cf
nier is the only one named as starting, and
he was distanced in the second heat, while
Glenmore, we'll thought of as q probable
winner in the two mile aud an eighth dash
won by Mintzer, was the winner, taking tn Q
second and third heats, the first being take II
by rank outsider, Mile D. .

If no mistake was made in transmitting
the news by telegraph, Rarus is no longer
king of the trotting turf, that title now be-
longing to St. Julian, who on Saturday On
the Oakland track, Califol mia, in an exhibit
ton for the benefit of Gen. Grant, trotted q
full mile without a skip or break, In 2:12A.
This ls half Of q second better than
the best public performance of Rarus, 2,134,
made at Hartford last year, though it is
claimed that he has since in the ownership
Of MIR. Bonner made mile in private
trial, on his thee quarter track, in 2:1216,
the time of Blind Tom, the pacing whifl-
wind, made at Chicago at the July meeting,
st. Julian belongs to Gov. Stanford, one
of the most enterprising breeders and gen.
erous patrons Of the turf in the country.
He Is bay gelding, years old, We believe,
by Volunteer, he by Rysdyk's HANDLE
tonian, dam by Harry CLAY. He
early developed remarkable show
OF speed and it was confidently
expected by bis owner and admirers that he
would long ere this have taken the place he
has now secured, of the fastest trotters on
the turf. With this idea in view he was
placed in the hands OF John Splan, We BE-
lieve, two years ego, for campaign this side
the slope, but he went all wrong, as did Col.
Lewis this year, and he went back to Cali
! fornia, at the cloee of the season, with o re-
cord of 2:2214. Last year he did nothing,
and this year he has come to his speed slowly,
his record of 2:2211S standing, if our mem
DRY serves us right, until some two weeks
ago when he reduced it to 2,17.
st. Julian is handled and driven by Orriu
Hickock, who will be remembered by many
Minnesotians IS the driver of Lucy when
hippodroming with Goldsmith Maid at the
| time of her visit to Minnesota. IL.
This performance of St. Julian is some.
thing of setback for Mr.. Robert Bonner
Mr.. Bonner has aspired to the ownership OF
tho fastest trotters in the country
| by paying almost fabulous sums fol
| the several phenomenal flyers as they ap-
J peared, his last purchase being Rarus. But
| it is hardly possible that he can become the
owner of st. Julian. Gov. Stanford, be-
| sides being an enterprising breeder and IN
enthusiastic lover aud patron of turf sports
| is a man Of great wealth, and Mr.. Bonner'a
dollars will have little weight with him when
it comes down to depriving him of the own
ership of the fastest trotter in the world, az
decided by trotting rules. Not being able
| to buy St. Julian, what will Mr.. Bonner dc
quietly resign the claim he has SO long
| sought to maintain, and at such
cost, or will he depart from his rule and al.
| low Rarus and Edwin Forrest to make pub
lie effort to beat the 2:12M of St. Julian. We
| are of those who believe the last FAMED can
do it, good day and good track, but private
| belief, or private trials, do not make record
and unless Dir. Bonner is willing to occupy
| second place to Gov. Stanford, he must lose
no time in making the effort to secure first
| place by public performance of his horses
! 10 use vulgarism, Mr.. Bonner must nov
| "put up or shut up.' St. Julian has calico
| time on him.
