An Election Day crowd assembled at Elizabeth
yesterday, and the crush in the betting ring was
af extreme pressure Even The excellent trans
portation facilities Of the New-Jer>ey Central Railroad
rere heavily taxed on the return trips, and there
were some delays. but they were not serious. The
sport was good and four out of six favorites were
successful most OF the spectators went home with
fataer pockets while the strong boxes Of the book
makers were depleted correspondingly 1t was a
profitable and noteworthy day in the brief history
of the New-Jersey Jockey Club, and it greatly gratieo

with Bradford and TipStaf, and won at his leisure.
The Brooklyn brothers believed tnat Cortland would
