THE GREAT RACES.
The first great race in the country is the
Kentucky Derby. 1t is what is known rs
a classical" race, the monetary value be-
ing but &c 5000, though it is looked forward
to with the deepest interest. II will come
off on May 1s at Louisville. The race was
won by Riley last year. Riley is owned
by ED" Corrigan, and was ridden by
Murphy. 1t is a 3-year-old race, and this
year there are eighty-three entries. Among
the horses that will run are Balgowan,
Allan Bane, Gascon, Georgetown, Henry
Ray, Palestine, Passara, Tom Mackin, Tom
Rogers. All these are winners as 2-year-
olds. There are several others who lave
run in races and been beaten, but who
may come to the front this year. There
is no advanced betting on this race, so IL
is not easy to say which horse is the favor
lite.
GREATEST WESTERN RACE.
Next comes the Hyde Park stakes at the
Washington Park race track, Chicago
This race will be the most important race
run In the west. 1t will be worth about
SD, 600. Last year the value of the stakes

stakes, which will be run for at the ConeS
Island Jockey club on July /. This race
will be worth about $4,000. There art
1872 entries. Last year there were but nint
starters, presumably because Tourna.
ment, who won that race in 1890, was thu
horse to be afraid of, being, as he was, en-
titled to all the allowances through hi
not having won a race previous to thai
event. The result proved the wisdom o
those who scratched their horses, for III
won the race by fifty yards.
THE FUTURrrY STAKES

year-olds are four in number. First il

value for 3-year-olds in the west. Thi

SEVERE BIO TO THE TURF.
If the New Jersey authorities stop tn
races at Monmouth Park, MS under tn,
law Of the state they are required to do, il
will be q severe blow to the turf in thi
country. The Monmouth Park course il
the largest and finest in the world II cos
/, hundreds OF thousands OF dollars. Many
of the leading races of America are run
over this course, including the Champion
. Junior Champion and Ocean Stakes, Mon
: mouth Cur, Monmouth Oaks and Mon
mouth, Long Branch, Shrewsbury ant
, Harvest Handicaps. Purses of $1,000 ar
given by the association for its ordinary
events and the stake races are very rich
II would not only be a loss 10 tne owner
OF the magnificent course, but to he entire
racing interests of the country TO hav
these races stopped.
