JAY EYE SEE
Walks the Log of St julien.
Intense Excitement, Big Betting
and Pretty Trotting.


Fleetwood Park, New York, 29.-I
The great trot for $4,000 between |
the celebrated trotters Jay Eye See
and St. Julien causes the largest |
concouTse of people to assemble on
the track that has been seen on any
race track in America for twenty |
years. At PAS pm. there was
scarcely an available spot left 10
witness the races from the grand |
stand, the quarter stretch, or CLUB |
House grounds, while the field is
lined with spectators from the three
quarter to the quarter post. At least
5000 equipages of every description
are within the enclosure, and the
lines extend from the gate as far as
125th street, distance of two miles.
1t is quite evident that thousands of
people will not be able to get within
the enclosure. Many notables are
present, among them VIM. H. Van
derbilt and Frank Work. Wander
bilt drove into his private shed
behind Early Rose and Aldine,
while Work drove Dick Swiveller
and Edward. The betting is very
heavy; st. Julien still has the call at
100 to 80. The track is very heavy
in spots.
Wiseacres claim that Jay Eye See
cannot trot in mud. Jay Eye See
has just appeared on the track. He
appears in excellent form. When
he finished his exercise he was
greeted with thunders applause.
Bithers will handle the ribbons
during the contest, Orrin Hick0k
will drive st. Julien. Both horses
are now in the sheds on the track,
guarded by a large force of police
men. They are having a rather
arduous job in keeping the great
crowds back.
Among other prominent people
present are Edward HanIan, the
Oarsman; General Grant, who occu-
pies \ seat on the Club house por-
tico; Henry G. Raymond, owner of
| Phil Robinson; Harry McCoon, o.

beck, SEN, Alexander Taylor, organ.
E iZer of the &c 1tlemen's association
John Kelly, Edward j. Kearney
Shepherd Knapp, and western prom
lnent trotting men. Twenty-fouJ
thousand tickets are thus far sold.
The crowd awaiting admittance ex.
tends as far as the eye can reach
! This will give some idea of the eX.
! tent Of the concourse present. Bet
ting has suddenly dropped. and from
? present appearances st. Julien will
3 start favorite at 100 to 60.
