Mr. Cassatt's good fortune is coming with rush.
In the first two days at Monmouth Park the most
important nandicaps go to the popular president OF
the association, and the second day he wins three
cut OF the four handicaps the card including the
Long Branch, with 81 $50 added money. The tickle
goddess Is pouring crowns and wreaths upon Mr.
cassatt from full hands. That wel-eQuipped and
dmrable Jockey. Hayward, did some of his best rid
Ing, and with any with less Judgment GOODNESS,
skin and force in the saddle Taragon could not have
defeated Tristan and carried off the Lpg Branch. On
Maidstone the fourth he had easier task, for
the colt with little urging. But Eolo, in the
Corinthian Stakes, he made most vigorous and
energetic finish and Banner by sheer
superiority of riding Well. the Chesterbrook colors
are favorites With race goers and the four handicap
victories in two days were well received. Some
Anarchists and Socialists might grow that nearly all
the good things of the turf going the million
aires--the Bemonts, the Haggins and the Cassatts-
but II IS only in tho. natural course Of things that
the wealthest should breed and race the best
horses and the dsorganizers of society who find
fault with the established order of affairs console
themselves with the thought that at least two turf
milonaires have had the OF bad luck this year
far-Senator Hearst and Mr. withers-while another
wealthy, liberal and pubcspirited turfman-Mr. Gal
way-has not yet won race in 1889, far as one
recall. So, long life prosperity and plenty
of laurels the pillars of the turf matter whether
they have Corinthan capitals and are covered with
gold all the from base to top, like those already
mentioned, of the Dorc order OF architecture,
plain, simple severe, but solid and strong, like the
Dryers.
No finer midsummer day could well be imagined
than yesterday, with its delicious air, which made

the racing abounded in excitement and surprises and

bookmakers who profited hugely by the defeat of
five fayori;es out of seven .
Pearl Jennings, with Garrison as rider was first
in the betting the 9rst race but she proved I'M
worthy of the conference put in her, for she was
beaten of in the first half mile. Forest King led
with Glue Rock second, up the final furlong, where
Grimald passed them both easily and won the race,
Forest King second, Fitz James third. The owner,
trainer and all the friends of Blue Rock thought that
cratic colt could not be beaten. But Blue Rock is

he shows speed on other days a lively piece of
antique cheese could outrun Blue Rock IN a race at
any distance. Such horses he is make unbelievers

Only Cayugs. Ballarat and Flatbush ran for the
July Stakes. At the start the betting about
even as between Cayuga and Ballarat. but the del
uge of money on Cayagua made him a decided
favorite. Cayuga led all the way, running very
smoothly, steadily and gracefully He has fascnat-

him under idioc and choking double pull for
