the summer of 1888, and the spring of 1884
was put in Edward Bither's hands for a
month or six weeks. With this exception
he has never had frst-class man behind
him. He was never offered at public
auction by Mr.. Dorsey. I also bred his

Beauty at the Races.
A special from New York says: There
were races at Jerome park this after
noon. On no other course in America are
the scenes which characterize French and
English horse-racing so nearly reproduced.
The facilities for fashion to show itself to
the common multitude, without mixing
therein, are peculiar. The track is not a
regular ellipse, for the long side opposite
the grand stand is so deeply indented that
the horses in going along that stretch are
brought within fifty feet of the spectators.
An abrupt hill is the cause of this eccen-
tricity in the circuit; and on this eminence
stands the club house, accessible only to
members, who thus are placed right in front
of the general asSemblage. Some of them
come in fifteen to twenty four-in-hand
coaches, with the ladies in very gay toilets,
and each vehicle with bugler loudly blow
ing. The drive from the Murray hill Sec
ton of the city is about eight miles, through
Central park and picturesque country roads,
and many stage loads of sight-seers follow
the circus-like coaches, for the diversion of
it, instead of taking the quicker trains on
the railroad which has been extended to the
course. The top of coach comfortably
holds six persons and the division is usually
equal as to sex. Thus each roof holds
conspicuously three bellies, whose costumes,
faces and manners are subjects for critical
scrutiny by thousands. Out OF thirty two who
were noted on this occasion by the writer
four wore bright red, five blue, one yellow.
eleven with colored ribbons, one purple,
one green, and the rest slightly less brilliant
hues. The styles of the garments were as
elaborate as for ball, save that arms and
necks were covered and the skirts had no
lengths of trail. Three open parasols on
every coach added to the resplendency, for
these articles were of a fashionably ample
size, and they matched the dresses in colors,
besides presenting an audacity of decora-
lions which wasn't risked in the robes.
The coaches. as they arrived one after
another, in rapid succession, rolled briskly
across the sodded lawn at the foot of the
hill. commanding the eyes of the $4,000
persons packed in the public stands and on
the Quarter-Stretch. Nimble lackeys in
livery placed ladders, down which the ladies
Climbed feat whose grace or awkward
ness was not infrequently applauded or de-
rided. Then the dandies and bellies scat
tered abont the hillside and veranda, max
ing the most snowy of figurants and groups,
aud all the while palpably conscious that
they were exhibits. Between races they
had luncheons, some going into the house
for the purpose, but most of them eating
and drinking, picnic fashion, ON the grass.
The only drawback to their exclusive diver
sion was the tendency of the democratic
mass to guy them. The pop of a cham
payne cork would cause cheers, and when
ever a girl skipped friskily there would
arise EXPLANATIONS of rapturOus admiration.
Nevertheless, these displays of wealth have
increased on successive race days during the
week, and they are augmented by many be-
sides those who go in a tally-ho; so that the
foreign mode of going to the races may be
said to have this season become pretty
firmly established at Jerome park.
