Another day Of perfect weather. largo attendance and

cever Kngstons Of Wednesday undoubtedly d'd
him great deal Of good, and tho Dwyer Brothers are
now inclined to think that their previous policy with
this horse Of handling him with cautious delcacy, Of
WORKING and racing him lightly was mistaken ono
They are becoming convinced that tho course pursued
In their stable in former years, when they worked
nearly al their nurses In instead OF private trials
tho wise and tho ono which keeps tho horses
In the best condition and swels tho stable account
most generously. Hence Is likely that Kingston and
some other Of the Dwyer thoroughbrcds will be seen
In contests still more frequently hereafter.
Mclaughlin on with Terra Gotta ct . tremendous
pace, knowing from his own experience with Kingston
that hardly any horse In the country has chance
with this son Of Spcndthrft In finish They ran the
nrst half mile in so seconds. Terra Gotta was thon
two lengths in front, and Of his eager partsans

without urging drew up to Terra Gotta In Ho''e

by half length I'm al "a. and although the track
was socmwhat dead and slow, he could have covered
the distance nearly 40 racehorse this indeed'
when he Is all right, and COED as Yum yum Is sno
has no business with him at his favorite distances.
Only three ran IN this race, Kingston, Terra CotA
and Tclie Doe The others were scratched, their
owners knowing that they Lad chance. Poor Ielie
Doe looked at the finish between Kingston ana Terra
Gotta wisfuly from a great distance In the rear
Mclaughlin rode Egmon, to victory in the second
rae, and easy success 1t was Specially looked
well and ran well, getting second place. Boftclase
with Barnes in the saddle, third, and might per-
haps have beaten Speciality for the place except Tor
q bad swcrvc in the homcstrctch. None OF the field
had any chance with Egmont. He, like kingston
has run himself into form, and is now a racehose.
Mclaughlin greeted with the heait!est applause
when lie back triumphant on Eemont, but he
was applauded with still more energy and enthusiasm
when he brought home Sorrento at the front OF the
third race. Diablo the favorfte, with Senor'a
a strong second choice. Princess Bowling was also

getting 10 10 against Sorrento. 1irstaM carried

was perfect No better ever seen on any track
Sorrento Had a few inches tho best OF it, and NC

Champion of 1857. lie led easily with Sorrento Tor

homestrctch Senorta was nterfered with and cut
down In tho race dropped out in the first quarter

the pace was hot for her at the finish. Tipstah
was also conspicuous for thirds Of the run, but
had nothing to do with the final struggle Garrison
was in bad form yesterday. lie could 90 nothing
with Telie Doe and could only get second place with
Diabo Perhaps Sorrento Is better colt than Dabo,
but the best Judges OF racing do not think so. 1t
seemed likely that Garrison greatly moderated Sor-
rento and relied OH DiablO's well known speed at
the finish make up tho immense amount OF ground
which he lost In the first halfme Dabo ran very
easily and kindly from the first stride to the last
II Garrison, instead Of keeping him under pun
for half a mi,e had gone up within good striking
distance Of Sorrento DIablo would probably have
been the winner instead OF the California colt.
But this habit undertaking and despising advcrsarcs
is the grievous fault nearly all well known Jockeys
1t is an Infection as irresisuo'e anu
as destructive as the poison Of prussc
acid. Hundreds OF races lost by II every year
The temptation to make gallery finish With
great rush at the end appeals so strongly to the
vanity OF the jockeys that few Of them able to
hold ont against It. 1t Is Gairison's fault. IL Is
Muiphys fault, IT is Fitzpaitck's. II is Haywads
Mclaughlin, when he all Mclaughlin, had less
country. lie RI kcd races by trying to excite
the grand wild tempcsts of applause through
drawing the finish short head, or an inch or
two. As Garrison his riding at his best Is as good
a. any which this country has ever seen; but at Its
worst 1t is below the level Of ionkers lie Is con-
tinually making the mistake of riding all horses as
II they were rrcnzis Firenz is the best horse now
In training in the world, probably. She make
dozen lengths while an ordinary horse is making up
two. Why Garrison should insist on riding such
horses Raceand Diablo and many Others II they
were Frnzis is mystery. lie backed Diablo HIM
self heavily and rode with immense energy In the last
furong; but he had made the blunder Of lying back
far that resources Of SKILL force, or even des
peiaton, could avail anything at the end.
