The Coney Island Jockey Club has been fortunate

Of comfortable dimensions.

make his run in When he finally called upon
the colt the race practically over, but Rex came
along With an impressive burst Cd speed ana almost
caught the leader, Tringle. who won the race by
few inches only. Rex properly ridden must certainly
have won. There was some talk OF SchnyIhHs

keen observers on the roof who watched every stride
through powerful racing glasses, declared that nothing
of the sort happened. Martin has not had many
mounts recently He ought to have fewer in the
future if he not ride better races than his stupid
bungling on Rex. Trngle was at IL to to win
John A. Logan IT, who races under the name of Mr.
Manning has at last had bit of luck. Zorlng came
in third while the wreehed sehuynll, most despicable
unworthy and degraded brother Of Potomac and
Chesapeake. staggered In fourth.
On Septenb Der racegoers saw PesSara at 11s
pounds fairly run away from La Tosca at 123 pounds
They saw La TOsca Yesterday win in walk at 122
pounds So most people reasoned that PessaTa. at
lis hounds ought to defeat both Rsceland and Ban
Chief in the fourth race Hence the owners OF
Pessara and all their friends put on their money &C
cordingly But Michael F. Dwyer was convinced that
Raceland at 50 lisht weight 115 pounds, could
defeat both the treeyearold PeSsara, and the four
yearold Ban Chief Therefore he sent $4,000 into
the ling on Raceland making the old geding close

the jockeys had waiting orders Hamilton took the
lead with Raceland, but waited in front" at SLOW
pace for threoeudrters of mile The first half mile
was iun in "a 1-5 seconds and the three-querteTs
in 90. Then Hamilton sent Raceand along at
top speed and the old fellow was 50 pleased |
with the easy time that he had had for six furi0ngs
with his position next the rail- with his light weight
and With the fact that he saw no horse by his SIDE |

Kingstock the first race handsomely, although |
he carried 1872 pounds instead Of the 1885, that the
programme gave him. Doggett rode him extremely /
well. James Mclaughlin has bought Flavllla from !
the Preallness stable and he thought Flava, ridden
by Bergen, would surely win. But Flavila was a
very poor third while Folsom, ridden by Taral, got
second place
