messed on the American TrOtting
Turf-The Race In Detail.

FLEETWOOD PARK, September 29.-The
great trot for $1,000 between the celebrated
~Jayeyesee and st. Julien caused
the largest concourse of people to assemble
on the track that has been seen on any
track in America for twenty years.
At 2:45 o'clock pm. there was scarcely an
available spot left to witness the race from
the grand stand, quarter stretch or club
house grounds. 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 One Hundred and Twenty-ffth street, a
distance OF two miles. 1t is quite evident
that thousands OF people will not be able
to get within the inclosure. Many nota-
BILE persons are present, among them
William II. Vanderbilt and Frank Work.
Vanderbilt drove into his private shed
behind Early Rose and Mdine, while
Work drove Dick Swiveller and Edward.
The betting is very heavy. st. Julien
still has the call, at 500 to
$50. The track is very heavy in spots.
Wiseacres claim that Jayeyesee cannot
trot in the mud. Jayeyesee has Just APP
peared on the track. He appears to be in
excellent form. When he finished his
exercise he was greeted with thunders of
applause. Bithers will handle the ribbons
during the contest. Orry Hickock will
drive st. Julien. Both horses are now in
their sheds on the track, guarded by a
large force of policemen. They are hav-
ing a rather arduous job in keeping the
great crowd back that is surging and
scrambling about the sheds. The track is
being scraped by a dozen i~mprovised ma
chimes, and it is thought that by the time
the race begins it will be in very fair con-
dition. The weather is very warm, cloudy
and threatening. Among other prominent
people present are Edward Hanlan, the
oarsman; Gen. Grant, who occupies a seat
on the clubhouse portico; Henry G.. Ray
mond, owner OF Phil Thompson; Harry
McCoon, o. s. Bailey, NJ. II. De Mott,
Hugh Ferrigan, Burdett Loomis, Presi-
dent OF the Charter Oak Park Jerome

Trumbull, John II. flarbeck, ST., d IT.,
and Alexander Taylor, organizers of the
Gentlemen's Association John Kelly, Ed
ward Kearney and Shepherd Knapp, prom
inent Western trotting men. Twenty
four thousand tickets nave been sold.
The crowd awaiting admittance extends as
far as the eye can reach. This will give
some idea OF the extent of the concOurse
present. The betting was suddenly
dropped, and from present appearances
st. Julien will start the favorite, at 500 to
$50. The judges are Joe b. Alley, former
owner of Dexter, Alexander Taylor and
David Bonner.
