RACING IN BAD WEATHER
THE STAR OF THE TURF STILL CLEANING.
MISS wooDFoRD IN THE EAToSTOwN-oTHER WIN


NERS AT MONMOUrH.
The fares ornament Of tho American turf still keeps
the lustre of her triumphs undimmed- The inyncibo
Miss Woodford is still SUI orior to all competitors.
Turfmcn not few thought yesterday that the day oil
her calamity had come and that she would be forced
TO yield to the flying Duchess the cratic Aranza'
for it was reported that she was little lame only
week ago But when she came on the track, the PRIDE
aud boast of the Dwycr stable and indeed Of American
thoroughbred looked fit to vie with the greatest race
horse that the ego of man looked on. Her sym
merlcal and graceful figure was as fawcss IN outline
and rs radiant in beauty ever while her magnificent
stride seemed swift and smooth and almost as resstless
the mdcurrent Of Niagara where it sweeps over the
cliff in the of the Horseshoe Fall, without break
or fret or Jar The mud did not check or confuse her.
She went flashing through it with much case and
freedom If she running the dryest and most
elastic of tracks To the really great race horse all
tracks are alike in that their superiority to their rivals
IL not affected. So it was with Duke of Magenta
with Hndoo and IN Luke Blackburn, and so 1t is
with Miss Woodford.5
The beauty of tho turf had been groomed with eab-
crate care and her ane and tail were braided full Of
bits Of ribbon, red and blue. Her appearance was
greeted with hearty applause her victory called out
flouts Of admiration aud delight, and when ho came
to the paddock tho tribute Of cheers and other demon
STATIONS Of enthusiasm was poured ont copously 1t
had been said by one Of the of Duchess, that
The daughter of KingGsher could the Monmouth
mile in 1:4l Very well. But if she could run in 80
somewhere the Incompatible Miss Woodford would find
speecnough TO beat her. Rca Kingike Herbert LOUIS
etc and Thackeray were all Withdrawn from the
Eatontovn Stakes, leaving only Miss Woodford'
Duchess. Aranza and Little Minch to With
clear DAY and a good track the battle would have been
a thrilling ono But Miss Woodford would surely have
prevailed No horse in that number could have COPIED
with her as she yesterday. Search Tar and WHO,
choose the choicest of all stables and when she Is IN
her prime she will scatter them like chaf. As unap-
proschable in speed In beauty, she stands the ra-
diapt and triumphant star of racing in America.
Miss woodford will probably meet Eole, Monitor
| and Drake Carter in the Champion Stakes tomorrow
These are three redoubable antagonists and she must
heat her best to beat them. May there be no feminine
aintness of heart weakness OF spirit no caprice
nettishncss or whm but may she show them the very
fitness the height the depth, the breadth OF her I'M
| riyalled powers.
The features Of the afternoon IN addition to Miss
| Woodfords speed and beauty were the frequent
showers the deep pools In the course, tho extremely
slow time the hearty good humor of the moistened
mud laden spectators. The judges looked placidy on
while Armstrong pulled Itaska Man and horse ought
'ong ago to have been ruled off forever Pierre
