New York, oct. 26.-But four days more
and the racing season OF $50 in the vicin-
ity of New York Will be Il thing of the
past. Tie quality oi the sport at Norris
Park has been most satisfactory, although
some OF the best straccs-notaDly the Muhici-
pal bandicap, run on Saturday last, failed
To attract Une horses it was hoped would
20 Lo the post. Dutch Skater, Havre and
Ramiro We're not able to give Sir Walter
anything like an argument, and III. crack
oil the Oneck stables Won his firs; good race
OF the year.

GUIDE To THREE YEAR-oLDs.
The race is considered an almostin!aiiibic
guide To three year-old form, and IL has been
won by such champions as Ramapo, VINO
showed in this race the first evidence that
he was destined to become really great
race horse. Typhoon IL is unquestionipiy
the peer of anything i'll the race ana ne Will
come pretty near winning, unless he goes
back or has been hurt by his races oh
Thursday or Saturday.
TWO months ag1 LudwigsEaften, who mas
all the earmarks Of being slayer, would
have been selected by many to give the best
of his age u race at seven furlongs, but the
son of Ludwig has not improved as much as
his admirers had hoped that he would. and
if he starts ON Tuesday he will not receive
much supper, from tile general public.
Challenger is fast enough and game
enough To nave more than lighting chance,
| but unfortunately he is self willcd and does
! not always run up to the form he shows IN
The Mornings The Friar's race on Thurs
day, when he won over a strong field, while
conceding them quite lump of weight,
