Z tsPEC IAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, August 22.-The thousands
who went TO West Chester to-day to see the
six races on the card decided could not COM
plain for want of exciting finishes and phe-
nomenal time. In the opening dash Green
B. Morris 3-year-old colt Tipstaff eclipsed
all former records for three-quarters of
mile, running the distance in 112. The old
record of 113 was held jointly by Force
and Tom Hood, both of whom ran the Lou
isville straightaway course in the time
given with heavy weight up. In to-day's
race Tipstaff carried but 105 pounds, and
won comparatively easy with such flyers as
Volunteer, Emotion, Badge and Britannia
behind him. In the Casanova stakes for
2-year-olds. Mr.. Galway's Livonia, daughter
of Longfellow, was first al the post in l:l3A,
which is the best time at three-quarters for
2-year-olds.
Tenny won the Van Nest stakes for s-year-
olds with such surprising ease carrying the
steadying weight of 122 pounds, that Mr.. Pulsi-
fer is justified in wanting to
MATCH HIM AGAINST SALVADOR,
Longstreet, Proctor Knott or any other 3-year-
old in the country. Oregon was strongly
tipped to defeat Tenny. but when Hamilton
horse in the race. Swifter, the winner of the 2
year-old scramble at five turlongs, was well
backed at 25, 20 and Is to by the knowing
ones who hit the bookmakers hard. Taller
won the last race through pure gameness. as
Sparling had the speed, but was badly ridden.
1t was a very close shave, and the judges decis-
ion aseagerly awaited by those who had money
on the event, the pair being equal favorites in
the betting
cleverly. Dave Johnston the bookmaker. who
went broke on the gray horse on Wednesday,
was back again making book to-day.
