Mr. Lorillard and his friends 1t was reported that
Appleby .S Johnson dropped 10000 They ought 10
have put trust in Now-orNever from the Cassa't
stable, who the first race easily with odds vi l.

for Grmaldl. Mr.. Pulsifcr of St Louis, most OF
whose specuations IN the East have turned out WE'LL
and who pocketcd big sums by backing his horses
Crlmald, Rapne and fousatonc. in races suited 10
their snecd and capacity had a bad quarter Of an
hour He backed Grimald until the colt was ct only
to in field of thirteen but got second place ohi!
He backed Rapine in the fourth race and liousa'onc
in the fifth, and each got second place Neither Coulu
bilious IN his ideas, and when ne starts on specua
ton expects largely he lost moro on his horses
to win than he took in on them for place.
The starting was good and the management so
prompt that although there eight races the last
one was over in good season. and passengers by the
first trains for NewYOrk reached the city before .
o'clock Little Spider Anderson, the black jockey
who was tossed heels head by IIawlcy on Thurs
day. won three with Grover Cleveland, umpire
and Tiburon. This may turn his head as he was

Although a mere boy he carries around with him In
his trunk two pistols Of enormous size The jockey
Is 60 small and the pistols so big that II the
ebony mite gets into fight with all his armory on
hand he will look like a field battery Of the FIRST
class with the largest size Of flying artillery all
nlanocuvrcd and put in action by small baoooh.
Donohue rode Mr.. Haggn's Guarantee IN the first
race He got of in a stupid and slovcnly way at the
tail end Of the big field Of thirteen and, therefore,
never had a chance. Palmer rode Now-or-Nevcr IN
his usual brcakneck style. This boy OF lNll Day
never cares whether fence, or house, or mountain
IS in his way. lie is bound TO 60 ahead unless
Uncle Bn has whispered in his car before the race
Well Uncle Bill" was not whispering yesterday.
The erudite and accomplished John Higgins, who
trains Mr. Cassatts horses always said last year that
Now or Never could not run In the mud MT.
Hucgins must now change his opinion, for no mud

Harrisburg is clever in mud He led easily to the last

him and won handsomely with Floodtdc third.
Captain Coster rather hard on Floodiide in putting
ll6 pounds him, but Mr.. Ashe, his owner thought
he had great chance, and advised Mr. Gebhard 10 get
even for the match lost with Rosarium against
Geraldine by backing Floodtde. Mr. Ashes in'en,
