SIX FAVORITES WIN.
A REMARKABLE DAY AT ELIZABETH.

OUT OF SEVEN FIRST CHOICES ONLY ONE FAILS
Racing was resumed at the track of the New-Jersey
Jockey Club at Elizabeth yesterday after the weeks
Interval at Linden Park The Executive Committee
of Linden Park has decided not again this
year, a sensible conclusion, the track cannot be
made safe and fit for running this SO clea-
field is left for the New-Jersey Jockey Club. There
was a good attendance yesterday and the betting was
brisk, but the bookmakers had good day, as SIX
favorites in succession series of victories for
first choices almost unequslled in the record OF any
course. The track was heavy fTOm the recent rams
but it safe enough with no holes or treacherons
places, and the horses did not slip and founder as
they have been doing at Linden.
Blue Rock, with Hamilton up tho first race
easily with the second choice Mute, In second place
In the second race also the first and second choices
In the betting Craftsman and Tpstaf. were first and
second at the finish. with Leila May a close third.
Craftsman had plenty of speed to spare.
Pearl set carried of the third race with gentle
thakeup in the last few strides. but IN this race the
second choice Robcsperre. was only fourth at the end
Bergen waited long while with Cortland, but got
second place from Tulla Blackburn, with rush in the
final strides
The Dwycrs were little doubtful about LongStreet
in the fourth race the heavy going against him.
and they did not put much on him. But the general
public backed him. while some Of the shrewdeSt book
makers and heaviest betteIs plunged Come tO-Taw.
The race between the two colts was close all
the way ComeHoTaw Swerved in the home
stretch ard foulcd Longstrect C0me-tO-Taw tired
in the last few strides, but the skill and power OF
Hamilton kept him together. Bergen rode Long
well but of course, he IS Inferior to Hamilton
in mastery Of jocEeyshiP Yet, IN spite OF the
disparity in riders, Long'treet was So much the
better colt that the two crossed the line head and
head, so closely ranged the track that the
spectators thought it dead heat. The judges,
however, decided that Longstreet won by a few
inches. The hackers of Come.t0.Taw were dis
appointed, but they should bear in mind that If
Come.to-Taw had crossed the line first, he
must inevitably have been set back
for fouling Longsyeet, and their money would have
been lost anyway. when Longsueet and COmc-to-
Taw met at the Brooklyn track the finish was just as
close The judges then gave the race 10 Come-to-
Taw although the hackers of LongSteet felt sure that
he had won. so there poetic justice IN yester-
DAYS decision.
Both Long,trect and Cometo,Taw will now be re
tired for the winter They fight their battles
again in 1890. ..
Oregon much improved He can stay a., mile ,to now
TN, whimsical Swift spoiled the succession OF
victories for tsyoTes by coming pr SS% N ,e e
