NEW YORK, June 19th.-To-day was in
many ways the most enjoyable day the
Coney Island Jockey Club has given the
lovers of racing this year. June did her
best to keep every one cool, comfortable
and ood-humored, and her success was
complete. The temperature and sunshine
preserved happy mean that stimulated
the horses and exhilarated the spectators
a great army of people. The Brazilian
Prince Leopold, with number of officers
OF the Brazilian navy, reached the course
at a late hour and missed much of the
sport. The Withers stables was represented
for the first time at this meeting, but Black
stone Stonebuck, Uncas, Dawdle Colt and
all made wretched guys of themselves. No
one will venture to claim hereafter that
Inspector B. is equal to Ban Fox, or that
they are in the same class. Haggin's colt
set the pace in the Coney Island Derby, the
third race on the programme, made the
running as she liked and defeated Inspector
B. by two lengths with SURPRISING ease
Elkwood was the only other starter. He
is owned by an eccentric old gambler, who
runs in the craziest possible manner
quaint collection of ramshackle hacks, con-
tinually starting them when it is absolutely
impossible for them to win
1t was an extremely small field for so
valuable prize as the Coney Island Derby,
but the reputation of Ban Fox scared away
competition. The race was a sweepstakes
for three-year-olds, one mile and half,
800 each, with s., 500 added, $500 TO sec
ond. There were ninety-eight entries.
Ban Fox took the lead and promptly set
the pace, and Inspector B. could never
catch him. Mclaughlin began using his
whip on Inspector B. half a mile from the
end, but he never had any chance. Hay
ward hourished the whip on the home
stretch, but never touched Ban Fox with
lash or spur. Time, 2:3S3. The odds were
two to one on the winner. The Haggins,
father and son, backed their colt heavily,
and he was great favorite. The father
enjoyed the triumph of Ban Fox in con-
spicuous box in the grand stand. The
Dryers must bring out Dewdrop in order
to have any chance with Haggins colt
while he retains his present speed With
Ben Ali in the West and Ban Fox in the
East, Haggin has an uncommonly strong
hold, which viii not be spoiled by lack of
skill in playing. In the great game of the
turf he holds high trumps and knows how
to handle them.
The first race was a sweepstakes, special
weight, S25 each, $500 added, one mile, in
which nine ran. Joe Cotton was an easy
winner by half a length, Swift was second,

maiden two-year-olds, S25 each, $3.50 added,
three-quarters of a mile, in which six

Dawile third. Time, 116l. This was the
first time Belmont's colors have been to the
front at the finish since his return to the
turf
The fourth race was handicap. $50 each,
81 600 added, half mile, in which eight
