The American Turf.
New YORK, June 25th.-The Herald, on |
Wednesdays races. says: There occurred |
wretched start, favorable only to Little |
Minch homage and Richmond. Jim Rem
wick and Mammomist were left long
way back, and with the exception of those
named none of the others were ever in the
struggle in fact the start decided the race,
for Richmond had the third place until
coming into the stretch, when he was
pressed hard by Renwick, who had made
a magnificent run around the lower turn,
but the splendid effort tired him.
The Times says Renwick got in |
| pocket the first part of the race and |
when he got out it was too late to win.
The Tribune says The victory of Rich
mond against Renwick and the other fast |
ones throws flood of light on his defeat |
by homage and Thackeray the other day, |
when the betting was two to one on him.
Richmond's tremendous speed in a short |
race has repeatedly been noted in these
| columns. Why should he win easily when |
not the fayorite and lose easily when the |
| favorite?
| The World says Little Minch, homage, |
Richmond and Mammonist led from the |
start, with Bill Sterritt and Jim Renwick |
we'll up in front of the others, of which |
Jongleuse got away badly. The leaders, as.
above, continued well together until in the
turn, when Richmond came away, followed |
| by Jim Renwick and Little Minch For
once the Californian proved unequal to the
occasion, and Richmond won by length |
and half, with Jim Renwick second, four
| lengths in front of Little Minch and with |
| the others nearly as above. 1t is under
stood the proceeds of the day netted the |
Bartholdi pedestal fund the sum of s., AIS. |
Nearly every tip" newspaper and other |
wise for the sixth race, gave the first or sec
ond place to Renwick, or the California |
"sprinter," as he is called.
YESTERDAY AT sHEEPsHEAD BAY,
New YORK, June 25th-To-day the En- |
porium stakes, one of the most valuable |
stakes of the year, will be contested at |
Sheepshead Bay. There are thirteen en-
tries, all OF which will probably start The |
| race seems to be narrowed down to GoanO, |
Littleiield, Tecumseh, Wanda Rancoca |
stables FLY Katrine, and Haggins black |
colt Hidalgo, who, as was predicted yester
day, will make his bow to the Eastern pub |
lie. He will have to run Il hard race to |
win, but carries only 104 pounds, Wanda |
119 and recumseh ia. He is much fam
cied by sporting men, and the leading turf |
papers have made him the first choice.
WANDA WITHDRAWN
CoNEY ISLAND June 25th-No better
weather could be had for the race to-day. |
There is very little sun, cool breeze blow
ing and hard track. Betting in every
shape is being actively carried on, and long
before the first race the quarters were filled |
"a 81.
| The most surprised event to the hackers of
the Emporium is the withdrawal of Wanda
for that race. 1t was thought she would
cut out place for Haggin's colt, but she is
not to run.
THE STARTERS.
The official programme now gives the
following starters GoanO, Longview, Gren-
adler, Exile, ST. Augustin, Clay Pate, Telie
Doe, Triumph, Spectator, Karine and |
HidalgO. From what can now be gathered |
around the track Hidalgo is not first choice.
Among the betting fraternity he is not
much thought of outside ofthe CalfoTnians,
who seem to have received the tip :" d.
rect to back him to win.
UNFAIRNEss To- DUFFY.
Another subject of general remark is the
unfairness of the starting Judge to Jockey
Duffy 1t is claimed that Duffy has not
had fair showing at the starting post in a
single race on this track. Duffy is eager to
win back the laurels for the Pacific coast
to-day, and assured your reporter that
Hidalgo is in prime condition, and would
be ridden with sterling judgment The
track is not crowded as usual to- day, but
will be filled before the great Emporium is
run.
DETAILS OF THE DAYS CONTESTS.
New YORK, June 25th.-The attendance
at Sheepshead Bay to-day was the smallest
of the season. The great feature of the day
was the Emporium in which the Califor-
MIA horse Hidalgo, stable companion of
Tyrant, was entered against fine field,
including katrine, of RanCocas stables.
The race was a splendid victory for the Wis
itor, and stamps him as goer of no mean
order. The excitement was intense, and
at the finish the crowd cheered itself
hOarse.
The first race was handicap sweep
stakes, one mile and an eighth, with the
following starters Duke of Westmoreland,
Burch, Jack of Hearts, Charley Marks,
Heya and Wallfower. Burch won by two
lengths, Jack of Hearts second, Wallfower
third. Time, los.
The second race was for two-year- olds,
three-quarters of a mile; The starters
were Amalgam, Wait-a-While, Vndex.
Mink, Little Minnie, Longstop, Rock and
Rye and Electric. Electric won by a length
and half Mink second Longstop third.
Time, 1114.
The third race was a handicap sweep
stakes, mile and three-eighths, with these
starters: Boatman, Turco, Graystone, Ell
gin, Clonmel, Ida Stanhope and Heel and
Toe. Turco won by three lengths, Clon-
mel second, Ida Stanhope third. Time
2:25l.
The fourth race was for the Emporium
sweepstakes for three year-olds, $3.50 each,
SO for first, and only $25 for first if struck
out by April 18th, and $50 if by May 10TH
-, 900 to be added by the Association the

money and twenty per cent of the stakes,
and the third $500 of the added money and
ten per cent. of the stakes; one mile and

then came out of the rack, and rushing to
the front on the homestretch, won easily
by three lengths, st. Augustine second,
Long View third, a length between the sec
ond and third. Tecumseh finished fifth,
Katrine eleventh, Spectator being twelfth
and last. Time, 2:39$-one and three quar-
ter seconds faster than Cottons time in the
Derby.
1t is impossible TO estimate the money
lost on the race, but it must be an immense
sum, as the Californian sold low in the
pools. The bookmakers lost lrightfully,
and on every lip is heard the query, How
did the Californians keep it so quiet?'
The fifth was a selling race of seven fur
longs The starters were Nimblefoot, Far
ragut Black Jack, Emmett Rico, Belle
Pate, John K, Valiant, Hotachemie, Joe
Sawyer, Disturbance, Hickory Jim and
Carleyb Disturbance won, Black Jack
second, Rico third. Time, 100
The sixth race was weller handicap, one
mile and three-s;xteenths with these start
ers: John y. and Trafalgar Trafalgar
won by two lengths. Time, 2Io.
