The nllies had the stake races at Morris Park
to themselves yesterday, tho three'year-olds
contcsting for honor In the historic Hunter, at
one mile and a furlong. while tho two-year-olds
tried conclusions in the Castleton ut nve fur
longs. For the former those good young mares.
Cleophus and Poctcss, fought It out in the most
gallant fashion, only q neck separating them at
the wire md with victory tho portion OF the
former. Miss Tcnny, owned by Pulslfer & kar.
rick, was the flectest OF tho young misses that
started for honors in tho Castlcton, and she set
a mark for others OF her age and sex to shoot Mt
when che gallopcd home hard held in 5S1o Soc
onds. Had Garrigan wished 1t, Miss Tenny
could have covered the distance perhaps n sec
ond faster, as he kept her under a choking pull
until tho last hundred yards. The attendance
was again very large and tho days sport thor.
ouRhly enjoyabls.
There were four nominations over night for
tho Hunter Stakes, but Sunny Slope WAS with.

poctrss, and Miss Prim went to tho post. The
popular belief has always been that Clcophus
cannot stay, and the shrewd contingent figured
Poctcss. with n fve-pound call in the weights,
to be a really good thing. Cloophus had the
! support VI Z ONnCT. "nllo Nilsb TTlm was
not fricndless. The weight of money made Poet
ess n slight favorite at the post, but at one
time it was 10 to 10 and take your pick. Every
body expected the lightly weighted Miss Prim
TO go to the front and mako the running, but
Mahor had contrary orders, and when the flag
fell pulled the flly back to tho others. Clayton
was then forced to go on with Poetess, for II
would be suicidal TO wait and hope to outrun a
mare like Cleophus through the stretch. Sims
kept Cleophus close to the daughter OF The Bard
until half way down the hill, when hs chal.
lcngcd on the outside. For n quarter of q milo
1t was a splendid trial OF speed and gamencss.
The bald face Of Cleophus always cleaned in
the van, and Poetess could not wrest tho lead
from her. A neck only separated them at tho
wire, in 1:55le. Miss Prim was q poor third.
As Cleophus carried l26 pounds, her perform
ance must go on record as a grand one. This
