TURF NOTES.
Burlington the Crack Three
Year-Old of the Year.

Eastern Opinions Of Russell-Winters Admits
at List That e. Rio Rey Is Broken
Down - General Items.
Another American Derby has been run
at Chicago and decided and this time Cali
ifornia's past luck in capturing the rich
prize did not hold hood.
Hawkins game colt Uncle Bob, by Luke
Blackburn out of Vintage Time, that he
purchased for $4,000 from S. Bryant on
Friday last, the day before the race, amply
repaid his new owner for the investment by
winning in 2:55A by q length from Bald
wins Santiago.
The track was very muddy and heavy, as
the time made shows. Kiley, who rode last
years's winner (Spokane), rode Uncle Bob,
and Barnes managed to enrich the Baldwin
bank account by $1,000, given to the second
horse. Tom Hazlett, well known on the
Coast, piloted Ben Kingsbury who got third
place and $500 for so doing. There was a
strong tip on Kingsbury and in the local
rooms he was backed down from 20 to l
to s.
The track on Saturday last, the opening
! day Of the meeting which continues until
July 10Th, twenty-five racing days, was
very heavy indeed, and with the exception
Of Uncle Bob, every faycrite was ignOmin-
iOusly defeated. RObespierre and Cecil 3.
who were strong odds on fayorites, were
heavy losers for their supporters.
AL FARRow WINS.
Al Farrow. high-class performer on the
Coast was scratched in the opening race.
1t is not generally known that last Monday
Al Farrow started at the Chicago West
Side track in mile run with 1876 pounds up
and won in slow time over heavy track.
He was an even-money favorite, aud the
field he beat was not of any remarkable
| callber.
THE MORRIS YOUNGSTERS.
The Morris stable is still doing very well
with their twO-year-oldS. Russell on Tues
day last won the first running Of the
double event at Sheepsbead Bay in good
style. AT even weights the stables Ambu-
lance beat the flying Sallie McClelland in
:01 4-5 for the Foam stakes, and on Satur-
day last Snllie turned the tables on Ambu-
| lance by beating her for the Surf stakes in
:02% over heavy track. Sallie had seven
pounds the best OF the weights, as Ambu-
lance had up I'D pounds against 10 for
Sallie.
| FOUR OF THE BEST.
OF the two-y ear-olds so far shown up this
| year Russell, Salie McClelland, Ambu-
| lance and Correction are the best. Good
judges East think that at even weights
Ambulance is the best and that she has the
| speed of all the others in the Morris stable.
| Salie's fast record Tor five furlongs of 80,
| with 115 up, must, however, not be forgot
ten, and on even terms she and Ambulance
ought to make notable race. With the
large amount Of good material TO draw on
the Morris ought to be able to win the rich
| i,,t Iaf foil
| bulaace are given let-up for awhile.
RUssELLs FUTURE RACES.
If Russell keeps on improving he will
probably be the first two-year-old of the
season to win as much as 100000 He is
| yet engaged in seventeen of the richest
stakes East. among which are the Carteret
| handicap at Monmouth with $1,000 added.
Junior Champion, worth $4,000, Select
stakes and the rich double event and
| Futurity stakes.
An Eastern correspondent says in dis
| cussing RussePs form: In all of these
races he will meet Rey del Rey. and look
| for the Winters colt 10 as easily defeat
! Russell as the latter can selling platter
| Rey del Rey's stake engagements will be
worth something over 100000, and he may
| be the one to first cross the line. If he fills
| all his engagements he will. no doubt, come
as near securing the 100000 mark as will
| the Morris colt.
Rey del Rey may be q world-b beaten, but
| as yet he has not started and all that is
known about him are stable reports. As
| to Russell, it must be borne in mind that he
| is said 70 be of a roguish disposition and
| always dons the rOgGe's badge, the hood
and blnkers, when raced. Stil he has
| run game enough in all his races so fur.
BURLINGTON Is A CRACK.
Burlington has again demonstrated that he
is the best three-year old out yet by adding.
on Saturday, the Tidal stakes, at Sleeps
| head Bay, one mile, to his unbruken chain
| of victories. He carried lis pounds and
won on heavy track in 40 Isaac Muir
| ply was up on Burlington, who won by a
| head, if the pool-room description be cor
! rect, from Chesapeake, Hamilton up. Pos
| sibly Murphy made another Of his grand
| stand finishes and always held tie race
safe, but such nip-and-tuck riding must be
| very conducive to promoting heart disease
among BurlngtOn'S hackers, who would
| no doubt prefer to see good length or SO
| between the game black colt and his COM
| petitorS when the wire is crossed. Burlng-
| ton, of course, was hot favUrite, as lie had
| right to he at to ..
WHAT HE MAY WIN.
The New York Spirit Of the Times says
| OF Burlington
| toner, but he has vastly improved since last
| fall. If fault Is to be found with his appear
ance it is that lie seems a bit light III bone. but
| ibis may be TO some extent an optical deluSiOn
| due 10 his black color. lie has a typiciliy
| thoroughbred head, good shoulders, and dis
plays eat power in his quarters. He has great
| freedom ana ease of action. aud even wien he
must be doing his best he appears TO be scarcely
| extended. 1t is only pity for the Houghs that
| be is mol engaged 10 The Realization. for. as mat
tiers look, lie would hold the big prize SAFE unless
some animal unexpectedly good should De de-
veloped before the fall. He Is heavily engaged.
| and VIII aSSutedly reap big harvest for his
| lucky owners. lis engagements are: The Lor-
| Hard and Omnibus stakes at Monmouth; the
| EQunOctill ana Tidal stakes ana the Volunteer
| nauQicau al the Suiluy meeting Sheen sleAl
| and lie September stakes and Bridge handicap
at the fall meeting; The Trial stakes next week
| at Morris Park, aud The Jerome, MOsholu an
| Protectofy stakes at the fail meeting; the lro-
| quois aud Travers stakes at The first meeting at
Saratoga, aud also The FoXhall and kenner
| stakes.
A SENSATIONAL MATCH.
Tom orrow at Sheepshead Bay, if the
| track be good, or else on the next good day
and track, most sensational match race
VIII be run off. After Salvador had won
| the Suburban, with Tenny third, u. j.
| PulsifeT, Tenny'S owner, challenged j. Il.
| Haggin 10 match Salvador against Tenny,
over the same distance, one and quarter
miles, with the same weights up. Salvador
| 127, Ienny 1876, for $4,000 side, and Haggin
accepted the proposition. Murphy will
ride Salvador, and as Garrison's riding on
| Tenny for the Suburban was not at all
creditable, Pulsifer will probably engage
! Hamilton TO pilot his horse. 1t will be a
| great race, but Salvador should on form re-
peat his performance and defeat PulSifer'S
| pet.
| GERALDINE is TIRED.
| Porter Ashes Geraldine is particularly
| unfortunate this year. possibly through the
| Indifferent riding OF Kelly and Mccarthy,
who have been grinding her. She lost the
rich Toboggan-slide handicap through Nc
| Carthy's bad Judgment aud since then cam
not DO better than run second to horses
| that she has given weight to and beaten.
| Perhaps the mare is getting stale and needs
| let-up.
MORE HEARST BAD LUCK.
AS usual, the Hearst horses, under the
| poor management OF Trainer Mat Allen,
are getting beaten every time they start
and prove themselves the good stanch
