Certainly no bettsr choce could have been made fo
tho important position Of secretary than that Of n.
McIntyre wbo d also the secretary Of the Washington

The racing Of the opening day was excellent.
Brighton Beachs Archer Garrison, rode the winners
OF the hrst three races. Little Ainoh. Swift ana
Barnum, and rode them we'll. AL three won on their
inertia There were no accidents, no fouls aud no bad
blunders In riding In any Of tho three 1t 10
certainly to be wished that Little Minch would run
moro consistently. He Was beaten at Brighton this
week BY that ceiling platter Deah. but yesterday he
ran away from such flyers ~ Pontiac. MARYLAND,
Hsrefoot and Pearl Jennings. But the horse h
wholly without principles or self-respect and we
fear It il too late to reform him.
Hldalgo Is another depraved beast that has no
regard for the moral law. Il plain that he has
better nature to be touched by appeals to his
conscience or he could not fail to be converted from
bis sins by tho fearful pleading of his owner Mr.
Haggin, and his Jockey, Mr. Spellman. Both have
reasoned with the reprobate, have pleaded with him
and have warned him that his peculiar In and out
running light give the stable the reputation Of being
the trickest millionaire stable In America but it is
all In vain. The villain still pursues bis evil ways.
Yesterday he was the fAvorlte In tho Inaugural
Handicap. lie ran like Jersey COW, though his
recent running at Monmouth was remarkably brilliant
1t is well known by old turfmen that Spellman 10 Q
pious person, who cannot sleep at night because he
greves 80 bitterly the prevailing iniquites of
these times. But callow youth tho 60 to the races
do not understand Spellman, and bis freaks in the
saddl, make them shudder He has habit of leaning
back and taking double pull bis horse when be
thinks he Is beaten. He did that both with Hidago
and Ben All. But horrible thought creeps into the
mind nnbiddtn. What If he should do 1t before he Is
beaten ls he always sure that he is beaten when he
takes that double pull An inqusitive judge with no
fear Of the aggn millions before his eyes may ask
questions some day. great many
people wish that Speman hal more perseverance and
less promptness
Pontiac has lost all his speed. for the present. at
least He was last in the first race and could not

Favor In the Inaugural Handicap was like unto
Pontiac. Favor Is of the most eccentric animals
On the tnrf His performances at Monmouth wore
superb. Pope Leo or Krupp Gun could have done a.
we'll as he did yesterday. Yet he had Fitzpatrick I'm
the saddle. Bonanza Is also extremely erratc. These
three horses Favor. Bonanza and Hidalgo will yet
crowd Bloomiugdale with hopeless No intellect
however sound, safely try to follow their ins and
,uts.
Wonderful old Barnum won the Inaugural Handicap
asly in the of true raoe-horse. with Burch
econd. and Housatonic. who Is improving, third.
Though II WAS reported IL at Dew Drop had been
coughing and II could not be disco yered that the
)wyers put any big sums her, che outran Ben
III with inimitable ease.
The speed of Mr.. Haggn's 6lly Firenzi was 80 fully
exposed In the fifth race that she will get heavy
mpost in the Great Eastern Handicap She left
ttlala, Louise, Maggie Mitchell and AL Reed afar off,
Doubtless Mr. Haggn would have preferred to have
Ter win by head.
Delilah won the selling race by head, as Ltlefeld
delayed his run with frankie b. too long Many
ackers OF frankie b. thought he Just beat Delah OH
he post but they were mistaken. 1t was an
extremely close finish, however
The first race called at exactly o'clock, and |

rompt and good.
