Sporting Notes.
FRANK III. HAMILTON,
ID. HAYES AGNEw.

The racing closed at Coney Island last Saturday
for the season. Ii was a splendid DAYS sport.
The great event was the race between Crick-
more and Hindoo. Ii was dash of a mile and
a-half between the Brooklyn ''crack"-the
Dwyer Bros Hindoo-and Gov. Bowies Mary-
land bred horse Crickmore. The weights agreed
upon were 40 pounds on Hindoo and l05
pounds on Crickmore The governor would
have preferred them five pounds higher, but as
the Dwyers did not wish TO weigh Hindoo down
t hey were left as stated. The feeling in regard
o the race ran verv high. both horses having
Thousands of admirers present. and as both
looked in good condition, grand race was ex-
pected. Nor were the crowds disappointed. It
was a race the equal OF which has not been seen
this year. Head TO head the two horses ran for
a mile, first one showing a trifie i'm front then
the other. The first half of the last half mile
showed that the mighty Hindoo had again
fOundh his master, and that Crickmore was the
winner. The pace had been fast, the first mile
having been run in l:42, and the mile and a-I,alf
in 1861; and as Crickmore won by four lengths
the two pounds difference in weight between
them in favor Of Crickmore was more than
counter-balanced.

HOPE.
New YoRY, Sept. 19.-The Ecelaing Posts
Elberon special says: As to the Presidents con-
diton, DR.. Bliss says it is very bad He has
chance. If he should die the doctor does not
expect that he will die within a day or two
unless embolism should set in. and he might live
week. He has still a great deal of strength.
His vitality and resistive power are anomalous:
they are perfectly wonderful. DIR. Agnew and
himself have both remarked this Notwith-
standing the bad history of this case, yet when
one entered the room aud saw the firm reliant
expression upon the Presidents face and his
manner of speaking. it was enough. the doctor
said, to take one almost eff his feet DR.. Bliss
concluded by saying: Hope is buried only in
the grave
The doctor further said. There is no immed-
ate emergency in the President condition. He
called FOR handglass after the morning dress
ing, and said. Il cannot understand why am
SO weak when look so Well His voice is not
so hoarse as when the parotd gland was in
famed. There is no evidence of repair this
morning in any of the wounds Still he is very
cheerful. The left lung seems only slightly
affected
DIR. Agnew, being asked again recently
whether there was any hope, said, There is no

Secondly, let clcrcymcn (as is done in the sect
