GOOD Days SPORTAT JEROME.
Great Battle Of the Trutters for the
Charter Oak Stakes.

The Monmouth Park Association held its
last day OF Summer racing at Jerome Park
yesterday, and brings the meeting TO close
at Morris Park to-day, as also ends the meet
ing at Saratoga Tomorrow the Hudson
County Jockey Club will close its gates until
Winter racing begins on the hilltop track.
Saturday the racing will begin on the
picturesque track at sheepshead Bay, when
the great Futurity will be decided, which ia
worth somewhere between $4,000 and gpO,-
600 to the winner. The array OF crack two
year-olds that are eligible 10 star, IS sUme-
thing bowildering. There are 800 colts and
lIlies eligible. All OF the owners and trainers
are doing their utmost TO send their horses to
tho post In the pink Of condition, SO great
race viii be run.
Mr.. Dave Gideon thinks his chances with
his game colt His Highness are excellent, for
he has Jimmy Mclaughlin 70 ride. Bergen
Will have the mount on Merry Monarch by
choice, and II Monarch is any where near as
good as is claimed Mr.. Gideon surely has an
odds-on chance.
The Messrs. Morris say that II 1t viii only
rain and leave the track muddy they Will
come pretty near pulling on the trick. vesti-
bule may sport Mr.. Pierre Lorillard's colors,
but seems TO be outclassed by the other
shining lights entered. Dagonet has shown
great speed and has lost races more through
poor riding than poor running, and with a
capable boy up will make them stretch their
necks Mt the finish.
IL is given out now that the chances OF Mr..
I'd CoTrigan's crack colt Huron starting are
very slim. The Coney Island Jockey Club has
the case under consideration and VIII give Q
decision before Saturday noon whether the
colt Ii eligible to start or not. IL appears
that when Huron was sold as year1ing by
Gen. jackson his engagements were printed
ber, one stake at ST. Louis and the other the
Coney Island FutuTity. No transfer OF the
engagements was signed by Mr.. Corrigan, and
the authorized agent OF the Belle Meade
Stud, declared Huron and other colts sold by
Gen. jackson out OF the Futurity. This
declaration is now in the ONCE OF the Coney /,
Island Jockey Club, and 1t is dificult TO figure
how Huron can start under the circumstances.
This will be great disappointment 70 Oorrt-
gan and also 70 Green b. Norris, as the colt
be would be dangerous element, and would
DO In the first three Saturday.
The racing mt Jerome yesterday was highly
interesting, and the 1000 or 5000 people
who made the journey there enjoyed good
days sport, which wound up with steeple-
chase race, which Is always exciting and at
tracts many who would not go otherwise.
For a wonder, there was not IRll through
out the race. The races broke even, three
favorites, and three outsiders winning.
Racing will begin ut Bufraio Saturday un-
der the now management Quite q number
OF horses have been shipped there, and the
outlook Is good for a successful meeting.
There was q genuine surprise at Saratoga
yesterday when Prettiwit at 20 TO won the
NTH race by half length from vosburg.
Seven trotters fought eight heats for the
Charter OAK $4,000 Stakes at Hartford yes
terday without q winner leaving three OF
them tied with two heats TO their credit, and
another with one. Little Albert. who got
and 1t was doubtful whether he could start
again to-day.
Mr.. Mccormick will ship his stable OF horses
TO Buffalo, including Vocalite, who was not
injured as badly at Guttenburg as was at nrst
supposed.
The great centre for the spOTefng fraternity
OF Bergen County, n. j., few years ago was
the HohOkus race track. 1t was one OF tho 4
best hall-mile tracks In the State and every !
Autumn the scene OF the county fair, but with
