GUTTENBURG RACE TRACK. n. j.,
Sept. 2S.-This was great day for the
Gut" but a sad day for the Gutten
burgers. The rail birds had twittered
to the regular flocks who habitually fly
over from New York that Lamplighter,
now the star attraction OF this track on
the hill, had been doing great work, and
the flocks played him TO win. As mat
ter of public interest today'S race was a
great one. The owners of Tammany
and Lamplighter cared nothing for the
5000 put up by the Hudson County
Jockey club, or their side bet of $500;
neither did the public. Had the match
been for fun the interest would have
been Just as great, and each one of
the great colts cheered just as en-
Enthusiastically. 1t was the intention
of their prospective owners TO place
Lamplighter and Tammany at the head
OF breeding establishment, so it will
win the match. There was the biggest
crowd at the track that ever assembled
there, but the prophets who said that
$4,000 spectators would view the race
were disappointed, as not more than
half that number were within the en-
closure The first three races of the
day were smaller betting events than
have been seen at the Jersey track since
it reopened. The betterS seemed to for

for it.

The Lamplighter people said: Look
at that movement, we're all right
The TammanyiteS exclaimed: "Oh
look at that strife, We'll get there
sure"
The horeS were unquallfedly in the
best possible form. Lamplighter re-
ceived the most applause, naturally, on
account of the prepOnderence of his
supporters, but Iammany and Garrison
received a great hand-clap. as we'll

position next the rail. General

ness to the throw, and was afterward
chosen as umpire of the race in case the
services of such an official should be
needed. The same gentleman acted as
judge in the race with Joe Burke, the
regular presiding judge of the course.
The elements were all with the racers
and the track was as fast as any in
America. Lamplighter, after passing
In view OF the judges, displayed some
uneaSiness. He did not want TO go to
the post, to all appearances, and Taral
had some trouble in sending him up to
the line. Tammany went ahead easily,
and when Garrison turned him around
he had to wait couple of minutes for
his adversary. When Lamplighter did

flag fell, and this Taral Increased at
once to a length. 1t had been generally
supposed that Tammany would make
the pace, but tine smart ones, who knew
that Tammany had won all his races
from a rear position, thought differently.
The smart ones were correct. Lamp
lighter went 10 the front. and stayed
there long tine. Passing the grand
stand the horses appeared to be going
slowly, but the fact that they made the
first quarter in 2415 seconds showed that
they were gong quite fast. The easy
motion of the two beauties gave out a
false impression. Lamplighter WAS
about a length and half ahead, but
Garrison was not worrying a bit. The
Snapper just held on to his place
in the procession, and let the
other fellow do the bothering. Taral
looked confident enough, but the on
lockers could now see that LamplighteI
was not moving as smoothly as Tam
many. Garrison hung Oh to Taral al
just the same distance all the way
round until the turn of the oval was
reached, and there he moved up. He
had Tammany'S head at Lamplighter's
tail at this point, less than half mile
from home, and stayed there until the
stretch was reached. Taral did not urge
his colt until the stretch was entered
but here he saw that Garrison was after
him in dead earnest.
