Track Notes.


Among the onlookers at the races yester-
day was Henry Stull, the most celebrated
painter of the horse in America, who was
warmly welcomed by his many friends.
Mr.. Stuil came here from New York under
engagement to w. OBJ. Macdonough to
make a painting of Ormonde, "the horse
of century" Many paintings of famous
racers have been turned out by the brush
of this noted artist, among them Sir
Francis, Tournament painted for the late
Senator Hearst, the finish between Lamp
lighter and Tammany in their. great
match race, painted for Marcus Daily, the
finish between Potomac and Washer in the
Futurity stakes, made at the request of
August Belmont, and many other equally
famous horses of the turf Unlike many
other gentlemen in his profession, Mr..
Stull sometimes bets dollar or two on a
little quiet stable information.
The betting ring was livened up yester-
day by the. appearance on the scene OF
operations of George E. Smith OF PittSburg,
Pa, the noted American plunger and
owner of racehorses. Mr. Smiths name is
familiar to habitues of the turf from one
end of the country to the other, and SO much
has been written about him in the papers
at one time and another that any more is
superlfuous. Sufficient is said when 1T IS
horse in a race that he likes he Will bet all
the way from $4,000 to SOS, 900 on his chances.
Mr.. Smith is accompanied on his trip by
L. &. Maloney, a Canadian turf devotee.
Dave Gideon, George f. Smith and all
the heavy bettors made the bookmakers
groan with the money they took out OF the
ring on the Volt race.
Stony Clark went up and down the line
on Clara White and "killed" the books on
the race.
Bernardo ran great race, carrying top
weight.
Ed Purser thought My Sweetheart good
enough to win the first race and played
her. The performances of the FLY are
very much on the Opaque order.
CAD Irish has gone back to New York
on account of i'll health.
Monroe Johnson thought his namesake
Monroe, a 100-to-1 shot III the first race,
the chance of a lifetime to make cleanup,
and even went SO far as to "hock" his
favorite razor, that he has carried in his
LETT boot so long, TO bet on the Birdcatcher
gelding.
A match race was consummated yester-
day between Talbot Clifton's Romair and
the Kentucky stables stake horse lingo
mar. The conditions of the match stipu-
late that each is to carry 120 pounds, the
distance seven furlongs, the race to be run
