OTHER RACES.

OTHER RACES.
The week OF misery, tempests and gloom closed
with fairly enjoyable afternoon at Monmouth PARK.
Neither heat nor humidity was so tormenting as on
Previous days. the attendance was good and inter:
esEag racing was seen.
IL ae jockeys on Britannia and Jay i. Dee had
been changed In the first race Britannia would have
won by three or four lengths. Jay F. Dee ridden
by Garrison, the favorte, and Britannia, ridden
by Littlened, was second choice Garrison probably
had a big bet on Jay +. Dee, for he rode the colt
with a singleminded devotion, an incessant energy,
a treless force and whole hearted enthusiasm that
only the fact OF losing large could inspire In
the intellect and framework Of even so robust and
resolue a jockey Garrison Britannia was first
OIL took the rail and slid along with that inimitabe
toboggan slide of his that is deceptive to the
eye and swallows space so fast. lie led up to the
last hundred yards, with the inefabe Freddie Little
field sitting still, with the supreme in
difference of olympian Zeus. Freddie was
ohucbling down 10 his toe-dps, so certain

engine with a double propeller, all at top pressure
and the fremen dying of exhaustion at the furnace

He rode Jay T. Dec at every Stride as II Satan were
at his heels reaching to clutch his own. The calm
and unconcerned Sir Charles Coldstream in Brtannics
saddle never Quivered or wavered. How could that
creature Jay L. Dee defeat the unapproachable
sprnter Britannica But he did. and the result was
wholly due to Garrson's riding II Littlefed had
sat down and ridden hard In the last furong without
using his whip. Britannia would have won. But no
walked up too late. aud Jay +. Dee won by neck
Another instance of fatal drOwsiness was that Of
Taylor's riding of Chieftan, Mr.. Withers's colt by
Uncas- Chamos. in the August Stakes. This race
also disclosed the fOggy obscurity from
which every In Mr. Withers's stable suffers in
regard to the relative merits of his horses. His

superior to Chicftan, and Fitzpatrick chose the mount
on Adaman0 In preference to that on Cheftan. And
yet Chieftain give Adamant ten pounds and a
beating In public at any time But Chieftan is slow
and clumsy at the start and takes time 10 settle into
bis stride. lie was deliberate yesterday that
Taylor lost all hope and let him rate along far be-
hind his field for nearly half mile. Then, without
the least help from his jockey who had given up
all interest In the race but simply through his OVID
speed and quality, the colt gained with extreme
rapidly In the homestretch. If the race had been
seven furlongs he would have won easily. AS it
was he ran 80 per cent faster than any other horse
in the last furong, and came in good third, fresh
and strong without the least fatigue II Taylor had
walked up in time, nothing could have beaten
Chieftain. TuIfmen generally grow more and
more convinced daily that the Dryers did not lose
much when they lost Taylor.
