st. Julian and Jay Eye See.

FLEETWOOD PARK, N. Y, Sept, 29.-The
great trot for $4,000 between the cele-
brated trotters Jay Eye See and st. Julien
caused the largest cencourse of people to
assemble on this track that has been seen
on any track in America in twenty years
| At 2:45 p. N. there was scarcely an avail
| able spot left to witness the race from the
| grand stand quarter stretch or club house
grounds, while the infeld was lined With
spectators from the three-fourths to the
| one-fourth mile post. At least 5000
equipages of every description
were within the enclosure and the line COM
ing extended from the gate as far as 125th
street, distance of two miles. It was al
ready quite evident that thousands of peo-
pie would be turned away, unable to
get within the closure. Many notable per,
sons were present among them VIM. II.
Vanderbilt and Frank Work. Vanderbilt
Rose and Aldine, while Work drove Dick
Swiveller and Edward. The betting was
very heavy, st. Julien having the call at
100 to 80. The track was very heavy in
spots, and the wiseacres said that JayEye-
See could not foot in mud.
ESQ p. m.-Jay Eye See has just ap-
peared on the track and appears in excel
lent form. When he finished his exercise
he was greeted with thurders of applause.
Bithers will handle his ribbons during the
contest. Hickok will drive st. Julien.
Both horses are now in shed on the track
guarded By large force of police, who
are having an arduous job to keep the
crowd back. The track is being scraped
by dozen improvised machines and it Is
thought that by the time the race
begins it will be in very fair condition
The weather is very warm, cloudy and
threatening rain. Among the prominent
people present are Edward Hanlon, Gen.
Grant, Henry G. Raymond, owner of Phil
Thomas, o. S. Bailey, hugh Ferrigan,
Burdett Loomis, president of Charter Oak
park, j. 1. Case of Racine, owner of Jay
Eye See, Robert Bonner and sons, VIM q,
Trumball, Alexander Taylor, John Kelly
Edward Kearney, Shepherd Knapp
and other prominent western trotting
horsemen. Twenty -four thousand tickets
has thus far been sold and the crowd wait
ing for admittance extends as far as the
eye can reach. This will give some idea
of the extent of the concourse present.
Betting has suddenly dropped and from
present appearances st. Julien will stay
the favorite at 100 to 60.
3:2O p. m. The horses are now being
rung to the post. The judges are George
Bailey, former owner of Dexter, Alex Tay-
lor and David Bonner. When the drivers
entered the Office of the clerk of the scales
to weigh, the met an enthusiastic reception
from the vast throng. St. Julien's driver
wears black and the driver of Jay Eye See,
purple. Both weighed $50 pounds.
The first heat was started at 3:45. st.
Julien drew the pole. At the third at
tempt the competitors got the word with
st. Julien one-half to one length ahead.
Hickok kept st. Julien under pull, and in
rounding the turn Jay Eye See WAS at st.
Julien's wheels. After getulus I4Irly un-
der way Jay Eye See began to draw on
st. Julien and the excitement became ire
nenduous. About the quarter pole st.
Julien led by quarter length. The backs
of both animals were now as level as a
billiard table and they were moving like
pieces Of machinery. Approaching the
half mile post Jay Eye See drew up even
with his antagonist. At the hill
fifty yards from the three-quartsr
post Jay Eye See, broke, but for two skips
only, and Immediately settled down to
work again and rapidly ovsrhauled St
Julien. The excitement now reached white
heat and Bonner had to call on the crowd
for silence. On entering the home stretch
Jay Eye See was again at st. Julien'i
wheel, but Hickok crowded him little out
into deep mud, at the same time keeping
st. Julien on the hard track. The struggle
down the straight was grand. Jay Eye See
gaining at every stride. Fifty yards from
the wire st. Julien lead by half length
bat was faltering and broke when about
thirty feet from the wire. He passed the
wire under run, leading by head. The
judges in consequence of st. Julien's
passing over the score running gave the
heat to Jay Eye See. Time by quarters
First one-fourth, ,,33; half mile, 1:03M;
three-fourths, LAZY; mile, 2:2O1a. The
decision gave general satisfaction. The
betting is now 100 to 80 in favor of st.
Julien.
After the first heat John Murphy gave
Maxwell and mate a mile in 2:22.
SECOND HEAT.
The horses cooled eat nicely. They were
rung up ut Alb p. M, and Jay Eye See
took the pole on account of winning the
preceding heat. At the start St. Julien
led length. Bithers Immediately took
. pull On Jay Eye See and waited until he
got Strengthened out fer the ons-quarter
pest before letting him out. On reaching
the ens-quartsr pest st. Julien led TIVE
open lengths, bat soon after passing the
pest Jay Eye See began to close the gap
and trotted 80 rapidly that be reached st.
Julisn's vithers abreast the half mile post.
St. Julien seemed 10 be in trouble, but
vas trotting in geed fern nevertheless.
The flyers then made for the hill. st.
julien seemed to take the up hill work
more kindly and three furlongs
from hene the pair were trst-
ting on level terms. Jay Eye
See vas now forcing the pace and st. Ju-
liens driver took him in hand preparatory
to hard finish. Coming int the straight
jay Eye See led three parts of a length.
The finish was terrific. 1t was simply
wonderful how animals could keep their
feet in the yelling and hooting of the i'm
menss erswd. Midway down the straight
81, Julien made grand effort under pun
isbment to head his antagonist, but Jay
Eye Sea was unapproaehable and
captured the heat by half a length, we'll
IN hand. Time, first quarter, 1924; half
mile, 1864; three quarter, 1:4311a; mile
2:1S1a.
