notable race of the meeting and one worth
days Journey to see, was the free for all stai-
lions on the first day, in which Monroe Ohlef
was the victor, after losing two heats to Han
mis-. Every heat in this race between monroe
blood, and considering the very heavy condition
of the track the time was fact, viz: 1:244,
2:2115, 2:213l, 2:201155, 2:2O1s. Later in the
meeting Monroe Chief lowered his record to
2;18L, escaping by only quarter OF Sec
ond from dropping into the free for all class;
A still more noted race, and one that Will
long be referred to as a remarkable contest, was
that on Friday in the 2:19 class. The
starters were Hannis, Charley Ford and Eta
Jones, though the race was entirely between
tho frat two named And such q race Pre-
yious to the start Ford had the call at 4 to |.
The fact that the first heat was dead between
the two horses in the fast time OF 2;l9A did
not change the betting. Both horses were sent
for all they were worth IN the second heat, ana
"a was throat latch contest almost to the wire
when Hannis broke and Ford won in 2:l6I,
reducing his record in one bound almost
seconds, The third heat was another desper-
ate struggle, until inside the distance when
Hannis'stumbled and brDke Ford winning In
2:19 Another heat and Ford would be victor.
How Turner saved defeat with HannIs let the
Chicago Times tell:
-.-ss' The three were given a good .Bena OH, anu
went away at merry clip for fourth heat, to
the quarter in 35115 seconds, where Ford had
length the best of it. Along the far side Turner
reversed his tactics again and sent his horse
for all he was WORTH and he came up inch by
inch. Just before reaching the half in 09 X
"A 2:l6 gait-Hannis had clear length lead
and took the pole. To the three-quarters IN
1: "A he held the same lead, ana on tne nome
stretch it was fought out right to the wire.
The gray horse caught the whip in lively style
and came up, little by little, till, at the dis
tance, it was impossible to tell which was
ahead, Turner sat up straight in his sulky,
never moved muscle of his face, held his
horse steady, and kept touching him gently
with the whip. The fellow understood what
was wanted of him. 1t seemed that one or the
other must break; but they came on steadily
and souarely. Ford had no more in him. At
twenty feetfrom the wire it was impossible to
saw which was ahead, when Turner let go the
black stallion's head and he showed his nose
under the wire, winning the heat by nostril;
time. 2:l81I. Eta Jones just missed the flag.
If heat was ever won by sheer good driving,
that was The GOODNESS and nerve displayed by
Turner in tight place, where the least mis-
seldom seen, and the judgment displayed as to
the capabilities of his horse unsurpassed. In
short. he proved himself an artist in the best
sense of the term.
These four heats had done the business for
Ford, and we'll they might. There are few
horses on the turf that can trot four heats IN
2:1911S, 2:16sl, 2:19, 2:1SA, and have much

sion. and took the next two heats as he pleased,
his stride being accommodated to Ford's dis
tressed condition. The race, in all its fea-
lures. is one of the best ever trotted, and un-
doubtedly we'll repaid Jack Turner for the ter
rible disappointment of 1878. That season Han
mis- was entered through the Great Eastern cir
cult He trotted very we'll at Cleveland and
Buffalo, but when he reached hochester ne was
all off. The writer was at that meeting and
we'll remembers the heart-sick look Turner
wore after giving Hannis several trials with
2:95 as the best he could get out of him, ne
gave the order to ship his horses home. 1t
was a sorry day for Turner, but his day of tri-
umph came at Chicago. A fortunate feature,
too. is that while Hannis won such magnificent
race he did not hurt his record, still being eli
pible to the 2:l9 class, while Charley Ford,
beaten, Jumped from the 2:2O class, in
which he was formidable, into the free for all,
where against such horses as st. Julien, Hope
ful and Darby, his chances for shekels are ex-
ceedingly slim.
The free for all race was disappointing, not
that three heats in 2:l7s4, 2:18l, 2:161s is not
somethine better, and had Hopeful or Darby
been able to have crowded St. Julian, there is
no doubt they would have been gratifed, as
the king was not seriously pushed in any heat.
AS ssbig cards the pacing quartette. Sleepy
Tom, Rowdy Boy, Lucy and Matte Hunter are
on the wane, the sidewheel honors OF the meet
ing going to Sorrel Dan, who IN the first heat
for the 2:2O class reduced his record to 2:16,
better heat than made by any of the famous
four.
Another magnificent surprise and perform
ance as we'll was that of the 6-year old Maud
s.. in contest for special purse of 81 GOO
against the 5-year old colt Trinket. Maud s.
as 5year old. in trot against time; made q
full mile in 2:171s, Immediately after which
she was sold to W. 81. Vanderbilt for $21, 1000.
| Trinket, by Princeps, last year in his 4-year
old form, in the fourth heat of race, gained a
record of 2:193I. Another wonderful young.
ster is Santa Claus, by Strathmore, who Sc
cured record of 2:1S as 5-year old. Natural.
| ly there has been much dispute as to which OF
| these youngsters really possessed the most
speed. This spring there were challenges and
managing Maud s., and the owner
Of - Santa lClaus, for a series
of races for 81, 500 side, though nothing same
of it. Then Chicago stepped forward with a
special purse for Maud s and Trinket. which
the owners accepted, and both were 80 confident
he had the best horse, that they laid wager
of 81 900 side in the morning of the race. The
race showed that Capt. Stone had not misiudg-
ed his mare, she running the first two heats
with the greatest ease in 219 and 2:2l14 and
then taking the third in the very fast time of
2:l3M.
II was remarkable performance, and q ft-
ting closing act of a most remarkable meeting.
