ago The same may be said OF the brown colt Frank
Ward, another son OF voltigeur out OF stella. II Is
to be hoped this youngster may gain distinction as

the Bay OF Blscay o. Commodore Ward sent Joe
Mcmahon an order for nne outfit for the colt after
his last victory. Jogua was pchforkcd into the
omnium Handicap on Tuesday, and beat a good
field just about as easily rs Euclid downed Favor,
Richmond, and Abba In the New York" on the
Saturday previous.
The sensational event Of the week at Brighton was
the race between Swift, Barnum, Herbert, Cleaner
and Charley Kempland on Friday. II was a great
betting affair all over the country. The horses were
well classed AS is customary In contests OF this
character, the talent concluded that II would re-
| solve itself into duel between Swift and Barnum
| but when 1t came TO real racing neither OF them
could live with Cleaner on The muddy track, who
won in the holowest manner, while Swift bea. Bar
mum for the place.
This week there promises to be rare sport at both
Brighton and Sheepshead. At the nrst.naIned place
a really great contest will take place tomorrow II
track and weather arc favorable 1t will he at mile
and a quarter. Miss woodford, Freeland, Bersan,
and Monogram are entered. Bersan and Monogram
will carry los pounds anu the other two ii5 pounds
Adjutant Riley, OF our ncighbor the Republican,

tomorrow morning: but as in this particular In
stance The HERALD has twenty -four hour start Of
the Adintant, and as II would be unjournalisc not
to avail Itself OF an opportunity seldom offered 1t
Ia compelled to give its hundred thousand readers
miss woodford to win, Bersan for place. Last
| evening 1t was announced that the Dryers had
added their thrce-year-old colt Richmond to the en-
try, and that Mr.. Corrlgan had answered this move
by nominating Modesty. There was considerable
excitement in the local pool.rooms In consequence,
and pools sold before the Modesty entry were de-

land had the cal at IS to 90 for the Dryers entries 81
for Bersan, AMI 50 for Monogram The conditions of
this stake are $500 for each entry with $500 added
| by the association.
on Tuesday the Great Eastern Handicap for two
year-olds, at threequarters Of mile, will be the
| principal event at Sheepshead. About twenty-five
will start, and the stake will be worth nearly $4,000
| Last year Green Morris won this race with Ten
Stone. The weights have not yet been made public
so 1t would be idle to speculate upon the chances
On Thursday there will be special race for the
crack three. -ods, In which 1t is expected that
volante, Bersan, Tyrant, Hdalgo, Wanda, Rich
mond, and others will meet and settle the much.dis-
puted question to which Is the premier colt of the
year. Should those named above start the contest
will be verltabe battle OF the giants; and, although
by doing it will in measure again foresall Adju-
tant Riley, THE HERALD cannot resist the impulse
to give " volante to win, Wanda for place. The
meeting will close on Saturday, when the Great
Long Island stakes will be decided Among the
probable starters are Miss woodford, Drake Carter
Modesty, Royal Arch, and Louisette The latter
seems to be regaining her form Of last year. rat
thing race may be looked for.
The bOldest OF local turf operators appear to
have unbounded faith in the professional New York
tipsters On Friday tile wires were whispering all
day that ".S,cfn couldn't lose" Yesterday nearly
everybody was wondering why cabbages, potatoes,
| chickens, and country produce generally had sud-
denly gone up twenty per cent. Was the rise owing
to the fact that Swift did lose?
The trotting matinee at Ivy City Wednesday was
success. With good sport, lively speculation, and
| admirable management the seven or eight hundred
people present whled away pleasant afternoon.
This must be very gratifying 10 Judge Draney. 1t
s, at all events, gratifying to The HERALD, as 1t
the first to suggest to the Judge that entertainments
of this character could not but be popular with
roadriders during this glorious September weather
The consequence is that the Judge Ia of the
most popular men about town. But his popularity
will be Of hut brief duration II he persists in serving
up this sport in homeopathic doses. There should
| be a matinee each week. Let there be one.
