PRESS COMMENTS ON HDALGo's VICTORY.
NEW YoHK, June 26th.-The World, in

which, by the by, it heads, California
! Wins again says The race attracted d
| large crowd 10 Sheepshead Bay yesterday
and pro vcd a good one as also did the other
races When the Californians won the
| Withers and Belmont stakes many sup
posed their measure of success was COM
| plete, but such was not the case. These
victories gave them comparatively little en-
| joyment. Tyrant was bred east of the Mis-
sissippi, and had only matured under the
| influence of the glorious climate" etc.
| CaIifornians are ambitious, and their full
qualification is only complete when they
| can carry off the honors with something
! home-bred as was plainly shown by the
way Baldwin handled his two year -olds-
| Volante, Verona and Mission Belle-last
| year; and ever since Eaggins stable has
| been East, especially since the Withers and
| the Belmont, praises for Tyrant were in
some degree offset By the half-promi5ing
threat that while lie vas good they must
wait and see the Californian. OF course,
/ few believed that the stable contained
/ anything as good 2s or even within ten
pounds of Tyfant Hidalg0 was known 10

AS he had been beaten twice in California

1t can be said he won easily Like Rata

cas- legion with equal stouness Of heart
and shoyeled the sheke!s on their colt
Hidalgo is powerful, clipper-built, racing
like, black colt. He has great speed, and
Is probably little inferior to Tyrant, but he
only carried I04 pounds in the Emporium
He must meet such racers as Bersin Joe
Cotton and Wanda, with full weight, be-

This prize WIS worth 7,7l6 to the winner
The Herald says: There was at least ono
fixed event which brought out some of thG

the wealth Of the bookmakers, and avenged
the two defeats Of Tyrant Since his victories
