WHY ST. JULIEN DID NOT BEAT HIS
RECORD.

The San Francisco Call Of the 9th inst. says:-
The disappointment attending the non-starting Of
St. Julien was felt very acutey by all who intended
witnessing the performance Of the great trotter of
the year. but it also unanimo ously conceded by
those who saw the track that IL would have been
folly for Hickok to attempt task which would re-
suit in certain failure To approach even 2l2x
required every circumstance to be favorable. The
track must be smooth. 1t must be toerably hard ON
tho surface, and yet lively. from tho soil
being dry enough to some depths below. When
1t is too damp .hc surface. there is a supera-
bundance OF moisture underneath. 1t is technically
termed "doad." and though TO the unpractiscd oyo
IT may appear In the best possible shape horses
not "mako time" over 1t. Even after the rain OF
Friday night there was time yesterday forenoon
when 1t seemed as though there might be q chance
to trot. About nine O'Clock the suns rays broke
through the vapor and there patches OF blue
sky In the northwest. The track. which had been
scraped smooth. began to crack and the indications
favorable that by the time advertised for the
race to come of the would be In fair con-
dition. An hour later there q change; heavier
bank of clouds veilod the and tho atmosphere
was surcharged with moisture. At noon 1t was evi-
dent that the great trot would have to be postponed
and word sent to the city to that effect t was
received in tmo to have notices posted the ferry
landing, though several carriages came from Oakland
and the Baldwin Hotel coach, with twenty three pas
sengers. arrived.
