was the panic he caused, and loud was the
mourning in their newspapers concerning the

the highest houors Of both hemispheres, the
old hero is an immense favorito with all
classes of race gOcTs wherever he goes and his
appearance is always the signal for hearty
applause. lie is brown gclding by beam-

$50 as u yearing, aud has earned about $780,

horse is not n bad thing TO own.
Eoo belongs tn Freddie Gebhart. He is
grandson Of bennington and Lexington,
being by EUlus out of War Song by War

several horses that will be here that can out
run Eolo for a short distincc, but it is very
doubtful If thero is to-day horse in the
world that can take up equal weights and

the race capable Of making him run. He is

George Kinney, perhaps the star three
year-old colt of the year, belongs to tho
Dwycr brothers, of Brooklyn. He is by
Bonnie Scotland, dam Kathleen by LeXing-
ton. As two.year.od last year he won the
Hopeful and July stakes ut Monmouth park,
the Flash, Saratoga, Kentucky, and Tenncs-
sec stakes at Saratoga, going into winter
quarters with $li700 to his credit. This
year, among other races, he has won the
Withors and Belmont stakes Mt Jerome park,
the rich Lorillard stakes at the Monmouth
July meeting, the Travers and Kcnner
stakes at Saratoga, and the great race at Mon
mouth, where he beat Eole lroquois, and
Monitor, which was undoubtedly his best
race. Pizarro. horse of enormous speed
under light weights, bent him in tho Ocean
stakes at Monmouth, and Drake Carter beat
him at Saratoga, but he is game fast colt of
the highest class. SO far this year he has
earned for his lucky owners in the neighbor-
hood of $25,000
Miss Woodford also belongs to the Dwyer
Brothers, and is by imported Billet, dam
Fancy Jane, by Neil Robinson. To those
who remember what a picture of beauty
Thora was when here last year it will be an
interesting study to determine which of the
two mares is the handsomest. She was
great winner in her o-year-old form, and
has been invincible this year in the filly
stakes at equal weights With two excep-
tions she has won every race she has started
for this year Empress beat her at Saratoga
when in receipt of eight pounds. She ran
unplaced in the great race won by Kinney at
Monmouth, but her mission there was simply
TO carry on the running for Kinney, which
she did, and then fell back without trying
for the race which it was Kipney's part to
win.
Gen. Monroe has won for himself the name
of being the toughest, gamest runner in tho
country. The work he has done would kill
half the horses on tho turf. Back Monroe
for place." has become almost turf maxim,
for no matter in what company he runs he
is almost sure to be second, If he don't run
first Hardly in the first class, he is so near
10 it that no horse can take liberties with
him, and he has "downed both Monitor and
Eole this year. He was in great form at Sara
toga, where he won the cup at two miles and
quarter, the Morrssey stakes Mt two miles,
and the Baden Baden handicapa at three miles
Spectators must take him into their calcula-
tions whenever he starts.
Drake Carter is big bay gelding, by Ten
Broeck dam Platna, by Planet He mover
New Orleans this spring, where he won twice.
He won again at Memphis. and became q
tavorite in the betting tor the Kentucky
Derby Mt Louisville, but whom the race came
off, though he ran second, he could not make
Leonatus run, the latter great colt winning
in q canter. Beaten again by Leonatus at
Covington his astute owner, Green Morris,
concluding he had no further business in that
quarter, took him to Chicago, where he beat
Mediator by twenty lengths. At Saratoga,
after being beaten early in the meeting by
George Kinney, he ripened into great form
and beat Kinney mile and five furlongs,
and then, in the gamest race OF the year,
beat Barnes in the Grand Prize of Saratoga
The horses ran locked the whole mile-and-a-
half, and Carter only won at the finish
by short head. Time, 2:36. Then he won
the great Omnibus stakes and another race
at Monmouth. Since then he seoms TO have
lost form in measure, and has been defeated
in several races, but with rest will probably
round to in time to show himself hero the
good race horse he undoubtedly is,
Monitor, like Parole, is one of the old
stagers of tho turf and, like him, O great
favorite on the tracks in he vicinity of New
York and at Baltimore. He is q big, fine
from which ho has beon atfectionately dubbed
"Old Baldy," "Old Bald Face" &C., by his
legion of staunch admirers and hackers Like
Eole, he is q great weight carrier, and can
go distance, having during his long career
won nearly all the cups, and other long dis
tance races, including the Bowie stakes Of
four-milo heats at Baltimore. He is very fast

Mink, by Lexington, and is seven years old
Mediator is II chestnut gclding, four years
old, by Buckden, dam Meanness, by Daniel
Boone. He is, from his performances when
in condition, undoubtedly horse of great
speed and resolution, but his weak forelegs
operate to prevent his owners giving him the
amount of work necessary to keep him up Ia
the highest point of his capacity. But he is
lust, stayer and TO be feared in any COM
pany.
Aranza is bay marc, five years old, by
Bonnie Scotland, dam the great race mare
Arizona, by Lexington. Her performances
as thrce-yCar-old in the west were of such
u character that l.. I.orillard gave $4,000 foI
her and sent her to England. Though she
won two or three races there, on the whole
she was failure, but since being brought
back along with lroquois, she has won u mum
bcr OF races, and proven mare of enormous
speed. Her defect is an excessive nervous
moss and timidity, that in case of any great
she cannot do justice TO herself
