[sECoND DISPATCH.J
CHICAGO, July 22d.-This was the greatest
day of the Jockey Club meeting, and al
though the time made in the free for all was
not as fast as had been expected, the vast
crowd in attendance had the qualification of
seeing st. Julien beat two other very fast
horses with ease, which was SO apparent as to
convince the most casual observer that he
had extra links which could be loosened, and
which would permit him to lower the
record of 2:12a which he himself has
made. Hickock is so confident of his
powers that he has offered for a remunerative
purse to put him against any trotter or PAGER
on the turf, and it is not unlikely that a race
between this swift-footed trotter and some of
the lightning PAGERS now at present here will
be arranged before the meeting ends. In
fact, such negotiations are in progress. 1t is
stated that st. Julien has not broken since
last September, except once while in practice,
and then on account Of the muddy track Mr..
Hickok claims to have driven him over the
Chicago track in practice to a lower record
than was ever made by any other horse.
The crowd cheered Justify when st. Julien
and the rest came on the track. The 81, 800
purse was about the only money that was in
vested in this race. The bookseller was an
unknown factor in it. The question was not
what horse would win, but how fast time the
Californian would make; and so when the
race was called and Darby started with
slight lead in the first heat, there was general
pItoCs IL Qiti IsOb 4stSo lobS, HOWSNtF, lOE
before the draw-gate was reached the coaster
had placed himself in the front. Just here
Hopeful made the first of a series Of bad
breaks, which proved disastrous to him in
every heat. This break put him far
back, and Darby footed it just be-
hind st. Julien until the backstretch
was reached, when he got at evens, and in
this position they came around the upper
turn. just then there arose shout, "L Look
at Hopeful come," See him." and for
moment all eyes were on that horse of en-
couraging name. who, with tremendous burst
of speed, shot his little white legs forward
towards the leaders, overhauling them in an
incredibly short space of time. He reached
their fore wheels, but could not last, and half
way down the home-stretch left his feet and
the heat was gone from him, st. Julien COM
ing in first, Darby second by half a length,
Hopeful third. Time, 2:174.
When the second heat was called faster
time was expected. The horses got away at
the third trial, st. Julien and Hopeful going
very fast and taking the lead. At the first
turn Hopeful made his customary break,
which was atrociously out of place just here,
and when he regained his feet was some dis.
tance behind. On the back stretch st. Ju-
lien allowed Darby to get on even terms with
him, but his manner was like that Of the cat
which trifes with mouse. At the upper
turn they were still together, with Hopeful,
who had trotted very fast, close up Just
before entering the homestretch the latter
again left his feet. but quickly caught q trot
again. The leaders still went neck and neck
at the short distance stand, but Darby right
here lost his pegs and st. Julien trotted in an
easy winner, Derby barely saving second
place. Time, 2:1S4.
In the third heat the intelligent animals,
under the guidance OF their skillful reinsmen,
started on the second attempt. Hopeful and
st. Julien outfooted Darby to the turn, and
with his now chronic breaking Hopeful al
lowed Darby to come up, when they came up
to st. Julien with rush, and the three swept
down the back-stretch in that position, Darby
passing the little gray and making play for
the leader. Hickok, however, was on the
watch, and called gently on the bay gelding,
who responded freely with the long sweeping
stride which has so often won, and soon placed
a commanding lead between himself end the
others, and with cheerful and contented
"Come on, boys" from Hiclzok, st. Julien
crossed the string winner of the heat and race,
Darby second. Time, 2:16d.

Railroad Matters.
NEW YORK, July 22d-The Railroad Man
ual for 1880 shows the number of miles of
road in operation at the close of 1879 to have
been sc, 497-an increase for the year of 4, III.
Thirteen IF the principal lines in the country
move 5,557, ,002 tons of freight in 1873,
and 81, ,092, $40 in 1879, and earned from
freight SIP, ,004, ,649 in 1873 and SIG, ,311, 452
in 1879. 1t will be seen by the above that
while there has been an increase in freight
moved of AZ. % per cent. and in miles of road
operated 70. So per cent, the increase in earn
ings from that source has been only 3S4 per
cent. Freight is now moved at rate per ton
per mile which would five years ago have been
regarded as impossible. The percentage of
decrease has been 42.31 per cent.-nearly
equal to the increase in tons of freight moved.

operations have been reported have equaled
S529, 012, 900, against 1890, los, ,351 for 1873.
