The talent had a surprise party at West
Chester yesterday afternoon whom Pessars
beat Russell In tho Fleetwood Stakes at q
mile. after very close aud exciting race. Biz
thousand persons saw the contest decided. II
IL doubtful whether there has been q nnor daJ
for racing this yenr The track. however. wa
heavy and In no condition for fast time.
Russell was the strongest kind Of favorlte s'
odds on for tho Fleetwood Stakes. Reckon
was second choice. tho lilly being added a,
the last momcnt The withdrawal OF Pick
nicker made tho field. outside Of tho Morris
pair and Possnra. decidedly commonplace, and
the opinion was general that the scarlet would
loom mp In FIRST and second places at tho
finish. Walcott & Campbell backed Pessara
with confidence. and not a few OF tho smart
ones. who had heard that Russell was cough
| ing also played Pessara to win. Russell and
Bolero made the running to the turn for
homo. when Pessara took second place. and
| this pair, drawing away from the field. had
the race 10 themselves. Both Taral and Lit
tlefeld rode for the strip OF dry ground on
the extreme ouside OF the track. md furlong
| from tho wira both wero confident Of victory.
Russell hung q bit q hundred yards or SO from
| tho end. and Littlefleld drew his whip. Taral
kept riding Pessara with hands and feet, and.
although Russell answered Littlefelds calls
with extreme gameness. the outsider won by .
head. Reckon was poor third and Bolero
| fourth.
Pcssnra was worked out IN extra half milo.
bis owners evidently wanting to ace how rosy
their chances are for winning tho Chicago

under. but the chances are that Picknicker
would have beaten him yesterday had he
