It may be be- l lieved there was enthusiasm at Charter Oak Park as the splendid animal eclipsed his record and made another brilliant point in | the history of the turf It was an exciting | time. There were about F, 900 spectators some estimate it at 15 GOO. The grand stand 1 was perfectly thronged, grand mass of peo- pie, the other stand was crowded, people I lined the race track railings on both sides of the track for long distance, and more peo- pie were maEsed on the ground in front of the grand stand and there was no end of I laden carriages. The interest to see St. Ju- lien was intense. His trot occurred in the latter part of the afternoon.
 It was current on the track and among the spectators later that the news of the time made by St. Julien having been telegraphed to Vanderbilt, the own CT of Maud s., he telegraphed back and bought St. Julien for $6O,OOO. It was | current, also, that Bonner, being appraised of the time, telegraphed an offer of $5O,oOo, | but too late, the Vanderbilt offer being &C., cepted. We give it as it was reported. Maud s. was shown on the track at about three o'clock Mr. Harbison announced that l through the courtesy of MT. Stone the splen- 1 did mare would make her appearance. The greatest interest at once prevailed. Every l body was awake to see the noble animal. She was logged along past the grand stand up and back, everybody on the Qa@ 0tue spectator shouted, 'Let her go, and this struck the keynote of everybody's wishes at that mo- ment, as it was easy to see by the demonstra- tion created.
 Among the guests in the upper story of the judges stand were Senator Eaton, Hon. E. S. Cleveland MT. Jones of Hayden trial note, Isaiah Rynders of New York Democracy re- nown and many other well known and prom inent gentlemen in Hartford. MT.

He remarked to Senator Eaton on the vastness of the as- | semblage, saying, ''the attendance is perfectly | enormous for city so far removed from any great city, like New York, for instances" to which the Senator replied, But you must remember that Hartford is 8 large city in the midst of populous section."
