ST. Julien Beaten by Jay Eye See IN
Three Straight Heats.


FLEETWOOD PARK, September % The
great trot for So, 900 between the cele-
brated trotters, Jay-Eye-See and st. Jul
lien, has caused the largest concourse of
people to assemble ON the track that has
been seen on any race track i'll America
for two years. AT PAD p. III. there was
scarcely an available spot left to witness
the race from the grand stand, quarter
mile stretch and clubhouse ground, while
the field is lined with spectators from the
three-quarter to the quarter post. At
least 5000 e~quirages of every description
are within the enclosure, and the lines
extend as far as One Hundred and Twen-
ty-Fifth street, n distance of two miles.
1t is evident that thousands of people will
not be able to get within the enclosure.
MANY notables are present, among them
w. H. Vanderbilt and Frank Work.
\ anderbilt drove into his private shed
behind EARLY Rose and Aldine, while
Work drove Dick Swiyeler and Edward.
Betting is very heavy. st. Julien still
has the call at 500 to $50. The track is
heavy in spots. The wiseacrcs claim
that JAY Eye-See cannot trot in the mud.
Jay-Eyc.See has just appeared on the
track. He appears i'll excellent form.
When he finished his exercise he was
greeted with thunders of applause. Bith-
crs will handle the ribbons during the
contest. Hickok will drive st. julien.
