EVERY winner during the recent
two days racing was shod
by j. PendIeton Il Son. The jolly
Jack thinks the caliber of the
horses probably had something
to do with it, but that great deal of
credit must be given to the lightning
irons he applied.

OK June 10th, Bair drove Maud S, at
Belmont Park, over ,miserably dusty
track, a mile in 2.3S111, repeat in 2.2611
and third mile in 2.11H, the last half
in 1.05A, which was the uphill half of the
track. A very clever horseman re-
never hold the mare, if cut loose from
wire to wire, and this, with her other
performances, SO early in the season,
seems to justify his remark.
Mr.. L. E. MEYERS is doing the trick
in old England. On June 18th he
met the English crack Cowies, in
quarter mile run, and easily defeated
him by five yards. In half mile run
against Shook of the Moseley Harriers,
the American champion won by ten
yards. These are the two best men in
England at the distances. There were
between 1000 and 5000 people present
who accorded Meyers perfect ovation
Time 54s. for the quarter, and 1.571zs
for the half.
BITHER seems to be taking matters
very quietly, as little is heard of the

EPAULETrE, of whom mention was
made last week, recently trotted mile
in 2.194, and a repeat in 2,21. a New
York horseman then offered S25, 900 for
him, and a Brooklynite raised it te
$4,000. But Dorsey, his owner, thinks
he can beat the stallion record, and is
therefore worth 100000.
