[ Ane great Omnibus stakes at Lono
orancn, the second most valuable
3, o'year-old racing prize in America. was
run run on tuesday, and won by Yorkville
Belle in 2:S6, beating Huron and The
Pepper. This race was supposed to be
an assured fact for Mr.. Marcus Dalv,a
great chestnut colt, Tammany. son of
iroquois, but from the foregoing he
would appear to have paid forfeit. Tbese
'eieSrams are very meager at best. Last

Othello (son of The Bard, who won the

the imported mare Phoebe Marks, by
Kingsborough, who was one of the three
great horses of Australia in 1876. The
other two are fillies, one by Roodee, who
was full brother to Chester, and the
other is by Dunlop, who won the Mel
bourne cup of 1887, covering the two
miles in 8 :281a.

The great trot against time by Nancy
Hanks, at Chicago, Wednesday, corron-
crates what Orrin Hickok said about
her year ago. He said then that she
"could beat any horse in America in
race, unless it were Palo Alto-he did
not fear anything else; and, /" he added.
ssehe will beat him in another year"
Now that Palo Alto is dead, there is no
trotter to match against Nancy Hanks,
for Sunol is not worth her hay and oats
for ANYTHING but an exhibition trotter.
She is a peevish, ill-tempered mare, but
if she had the disposition of Nancy
Hanks, she would not stop short OF
Q :O5. There has never been horse on
earth the equal OF Sunol for speed.

The pacing horse San Pedro, who
formerly pulled hearse in this city,
has at last succeeded in his undertak-
inps. He got record of 2:13a at the
Northwest Breeder meeting in Chicago
on Thursday ,Eunder the able pilotage OF
George Starr. As four-legged funeral
sharp this horse was an undoubted faii-
ure. but as a race nag he bids fair to
become one OF the topsawyers; and
while he has by no means equalled the
performances OF Flying Jib, he has
proved himself great horse, neyerthe-
| less. How many horses do we ind
that beat 2 IA in their first season?

No American horse has yet been able
to win both the Realization and Omnl-
bus stakes, except Tournament. The
latter was inaugurated in 1882, and won
by Harry Gilmore. The former was first
run in 1889, and won by Salvador, but
Longstreet beat him for the Omnibus.
In 1890 Tournament bagged the Realiza-
ton, and put up his weight and won the
Omnibus also. Last year Potomac won
the Realiz alton, but Rey del Rey cap
tured the Omnibus. Potomac Is the
only colt that ever won the Futurity and
the Omnibus.
] The Criterion stakes, at Long Branch,
Tuesday, fell to the lot of Miss Maude
, with Stowaway second, and that usefu
3 colt, Lovelace, third. Last year thiI
9 race, which is worth about $4,000, wal
Q won by Tammany, with the Uncas-Mim
4 colt second. In 1890 it was won b,
Reckon, with st. Charles second. It
d other winners since 1882 were Fairfield
4 Louisette, Goano, Pure Rye, Milton
IS Speciality, Senorita and Burlington. Thi
