Long trains and many OF them were run at short

and all the cars were crowded. II the most pro'

interest and excitement. The track in fine con-
dition and the time made was good. With favorao'o
weather even although the air was somewhat emmy

spective adherents OF Badge ana CasE
away plunged on those two horses with
unbounded vigor and implicit faith. Demuth was
well-backed in the early betting. but no small dis
trust of his chances developed the speculation
went on, because many turfmen seemed to funk
that even a good ee-year-old could hardly give
away a year to Castaway, and two years ana three
pounds to Badge And yet Demuth could have done
this Just as easily as Yosemite defeated the held
opposed to him, IL Demuth had been In his
best form, in the condition in which he ran
at Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend in Septembef
But the change of trainers when he sold out from
CAPTAIN Browns stable. and the let-up in his Dirk
which followed seem TO have set him back to depIor-
able extent. Yet he "a much better race yester-
day than In his last previous performance and although
Badge displayed fash Of his old speed and form and
ran so fast in the last frlong that Demuh did not get
near him, yet Demuth beat of Castaway and
Pliny as easily Badge beat him. Demuth was rid
den by Thompson. II he had had such jockey as

nearer Badge at the finish. But perhaps no Jockey
could have got him home in front of John Mulnss

Miller is not likely to become celebrated as master
Jockey by any such riding as he exhibited on the
favorite Loantaka, in the first The horse was
not well handled and the finish was fumbling affair.
But Cynosure since W. G. DAILY bought him. has I'M
proved vastly. and he was carrying only 1O6 pounds
to Loantaka's lis pounds. Lakeview was backed all
over the ring to win many thousands OF dollars by an
exceptionally shrewd and select delegation OF big
plungers. These plungers over-estimated Lakevlew
and underestimate Loantaka and Cynosurc Lake

Costello threw away a race which he might have
won easily with Carrie C. Thursday. He threw
away another which he might have won yesterday
with Godsep. Zenobia the favorte IN the
second race Lcpanto and Slverado were also heavily
backed but Godstep the best and fastest amman
in the race. She was leading up the homestretch
when Costello ndulged in nap. This drowsy teh-
dcncy has become most pernciOus vice among nearly
all the riders that now appear in at Linden 1t
