FLEETWOOD PARK, N. Y, Sept. 29.-The
great trot for IS, 900 between the celebrated
trotters, Jay .Eye-See and st. Julien, has
caused the largest concourse of people to
assemble on this track that has been seen on
any track that has been seen on any race
track in America for 20 years. Jay-Eye-
See is black gelding, foaled in 1878 by
Dictator, dam Midnight, by Pilot, Jr. He
appeared In excellent form. When he finished
his exercise he was greeted with thunders Of
applause. Mr.. Bithers handled the ribbons
during the contest. OrrIn Hickok drove St.

unteer, dam by Willis Harry Clay. St.
Julien's best record is 2.11L, mao at Hart
ford, August 27, 1880. This season he has
trotted several races, but has not, it is said,
been in q condition for a severe contest.
Jay Eye-See's best record Ia z. .10Z, which
he made at Providence few days ago,
First Heat-At the third scoring the word
was given, the two being head and head.
st. Julien had slight lead to the first turn.
Contrary to expectation, the young horse
there gained on st. Julien, and they went
down the hill neck and neck, looking like q
pair trotting to the same wagon. As they
passed the Point of Rocks and began to
ascend the hill she old horse drew away from
his rival until he led by good length. On
approaching the three-quarter pole Jay-Eye-
See increased his speed, and they made the
last turn just before the homestretch neck
and neck. Within ten yards of the finish st.
Julien was leading by head. When they
passed undes the wire ''dead heat" came
from a thousand throats. But Jay-Eye-See
had won by nose. Time-First quarter,
80; half-mile, 1.O52<; three-quarters, 1. 421S;
mile, 2.20N.
Second Heat-They got off on the first at
tempt with st. Julien leading by half
length. At the turn St. julien increased
his lead to length and kept it until the
quarter-pole was reached. On the back
stretch Jay-Eye-See reached his rivals
wheel. just before the young horse got to
the half mile post he made a quick break
and began to gain on the old horse, and
at the Point OF Rocks he was
leading slightly. st. Julien closed with
him at the three-quarter pole, and for a
second time the two came around the head
of the homestretch neck and neck. Jay
Eye-See here made a remarkable burst of
speed and got lead of length. The old
horse was rapidly gaining when they passed
under the wire with Jay-Eye-See again a
winner, this time by half length. Time,
32s4, 1.06%, 1.431S, 2,18H.
Third Heat-St. Julien at the start had a
lead Of half a alength, which he kept until
the down-hill stretcn was reached. Here
the young horse began to gain. At the
quarter pole Jay-Eye-See was leading by a
length, and he kept on increasing his lead
until at the seco nd turn daylight was seen
between him and his rival. From
this point on to the uphill stretch jay
Eye-See had a clear lead. But at
the hill the old horse did some swift
climbing and when the ton was reached he
was even with the youngster. On the level
ground he again fell behind, aud at the
three-quarteIs Jay See was leading by a
length Jay-Eye-See in the homestretch
gradually increased his lead, and finished
an easy winnarTb by three open lengths.
Neither driver at any time used the whip.
