OF Great Brilliancy.
The racing season of 1890 has been
one of great brilliancy, but horses have
run in and out in most unaccountable
manner, says the Chicago Horseman.

if the Morris stable, in charge of the
popular and competent trainer R. w.

two other stakes in good time. Reckon
won the Anticipation and Hopeful
stakes, the latter three-quarters of q
mile over the straight at Monmouth in
l:l1M. the second best race by two
year-old over that course. Ambulance
fell before Sallie McClelland in the
Surf stakes. and Reckon yielded to her
in the Debutante stakes, five furlOngs,
in 50 seconds, the fastest race at the
distance ever run by two
year-old, and equal to the best race
ever run at the distance, and Russell
and Reckon were defeated by Sallie in
the Great Eclipse stakes, three-quarters,
in ia. Sallie also won the Atlantic
stakes at Monmouth. Ambulance had
defeated her in the Casanova. Lassie and

W. l.. Scott, defeated Vagabond, Rus

strong field behind him. Bermuda.
Sorcerer and others had shown fine
form when all met in the Junior
Champion on Tuesday last, including
such good ones from the West as King

winners. Ambulance was strong
favorite, with Potomac second choice.
Sallie McClelland, Strathmeati, Bolero
and Russell were backed 10 limited
extent by outsiders. Potomac beat Am
bulance in the early part al the race.
and this unquestionably aided III his de-
feat at the finish by short head, that
being the verdict of the judges. The
time, 1:169l, shows that tho track was
slow The question which Is the best
two-year-ol of this season is no nearer
settlement than prior to the race. That
Strathmeath was ridden 10 perfection
there is no question, and Murphy's jock
eyship gave him the victory. The same
Is true with the three-year-olds. Bur-
lington came out and won five stakes in
succession, and it looked as if he
would win all the three-year-old
events in which he was entered. He
won the Brooklyn Derby, one and 9
