SPORTS OF THE TURF.

BOY THE WINNERS.
Pierre Lorillard is having the worst of fortune on
the English turf this year. As a slight se.-of, his
horses here are doing remarkably well. He has
more races at Monmouth Park than any other own.
er, and with Parole and Barrett for dashes and
handicaps, with Hiawasse for the flly stakss,
and with Pzarro and Parthenia for the two-year-
old races his name is likely to stand very high in
the list of winning at the end of the season.
If he Only had three yearod colt capable of meet
ing Forester and Runnymede even terms his stable
would be very strong He returned from
Newport to Long Branch yesterday, and had tho
pleasure of seeing Parole and Parthenia successful
Parole at his favorite distance-a mile and quar-
ter-mct Girohe and the California illy Sunday,
and it was recreation to him to run away from
them But Girofe was sadly out of condition. Tho
pretty Parthenia halfsister to Parole the Sea-
bright Stakes for two-year-olds, though giving
weight to every other in the race. She Il
one of the best of the young aspirants for fame.
August Belmont graced the judges stand for the
first time this Summer. Whether his presence
had anything to do with the eccentrcity
of two decisions is not known. But if he was re-
spoDsible for them it is painfully apparent that his
vision on the turf is not more clear than it has
sometimes been in politics. In the Seabright Stakes
the occupants of the timers stand and every one
standing sitting where the best view of the finish
could be obtained, except the judges, thought that
Renegade came in second and 1nconstant third.
But the judges gave lnconstant second place and
did not place Renegade at all, decdIngth lie Petit
Due was third. To the eye of faith lie Petit Duo
might have been third frs. To the eye OF
flesh he was not in the first four In the handicap
similar eccentricIty occurred, but the mistake
was much less garing. Giroha came in third,
neck before Hiarity, but the judges put Hilarty
third Two such decisions in day shook even
the stoutest believer in the dogma of judicial infal
hbility.
Parole. as aforesaid, won the first race, with Sun
day second, Groae third. Next Forester, carrying
123 pounds utterly routed such inferior animals as
Macbeth, Volusia, Duplex and Vulcan. All of them
were less heavily weighted, but they could not keep
pace with the greatco If Forester should now meet
Runnymede again Runnymede would be forced to
surpass any previous performance of his in order to
win. Foresters victory was IN the Barnegat Stakes
for three year-ods, with weight penalties and al
lowances Both Parole and Forester were favo-
rites In the betting. SO was Parthenla in the Sea-
bright Stakes. The starter did not shine in this,
for he made the people impatient by tiresome
delay and finally sent off the horses to bad start.
But there is no doubt the best one won. Parthenia
is much superior to any other In the race. In tho
fourth race the handicap of 1ss miles, Monitor was
first in the betting and Priam next. There were five
other starters but little confidence was
shown in them, and they ran feebly.
1t was feared that Monitor could not give
Pram SO much weight, though he disposed of all
the others easily enough. Priam is no prodigy, but
with only 102 pounds up he can run fair race.
The great upset Of the day and of the meeting
was in the selling race. IN which Carroll Living
ston's horse Hospodar, considered by every
worthless led from beginning to end, and ran the
mile in 1:4334. The betting In the books against
him was 20 to /, and in the French pools IS
brought back 1894 15 There were just thirteen
tickets sold on the brute, and 1t certainly not
in this case an unlucky number. Sir Hugh was the
favorite, though he has done nothing this
year to justify selecting him for the
honor He came in fourth, Babcock be-
ing second and Strathspey third. HOspodar's
success almost as astounding as If truck horse
should beat Maud SIS record 1t will take a long
time for many people to recover from the panic
which seized them when he crossed the line first.
Mr.. Holmes the Elberon Stakes for eentl emen
riders, on Corsair with I62 pounds in the saddle.
Corsair is big powerful horse and carries weight
well, but his opponents-Godiva, ridden by Arthur
Hunter and WOodcock, ridden by Mr.. Flinter-
were of poor quality. Mr.. Holmes, insatate Of
riding, tried to pilot Woodcock IN the steeple
chase and got smashing fall for his pans, but was
not hurt. Ohio Boy won handsomely, Felix second
aud Kitty Clark third.
