of everything at that resort have been
put UP 10 so high LsUre that many of
the sports viii remain in New York and
content themselves in the pool rooms
with hearing how the horses run.
For the remaining week Brighton of

cracking good races. OF course the great
day of the week will be on Saturday,
when two races OF $4,000 each will be

blaze of glory.
The two stakes to be run on Satur-
day are the Brighton Junior Stakes, for
two-year-olds at six furlongs, and the
Brighton Derby, for three-year-olds at
one and one-fourth miles.
A New Race.
The first OF these events is a COM
paratiyely new race 1t is guaranteed
to be worth a gross value of $4,000 OF
which the winner will recover 1880.
There were originally 113 nominations
for the race. but the declarations have
taken cut ffty-one, leaving sixty-two
stiil eligible. Many of these, OF course,
will not start, but the field that VIII
go TO the post will be large one. full
of quality. Among the horses still
eligible are Aiizzen, White Chapel,
Dalesman. Mexican. Irish Lad, Mesmer,
Eurstbourne, Charles Elwood. Clarion,
Rigodon, Prediction, Aceful. Skillful. and
Artyis. Mizzen will not be starter in
all probability. though it is possible
Mr.. Belmont will send him for the
purse. Irish Lad Is at Saratoga and Will
not start, but the Keene horses. White
Chapel and Dalesman, will very likely
be among the starters, while Julius
FleischmanI VIII probably send Hurst
bourne to the post. Mr.. Mackay's horses,
Nexiear ard Skillful, will not go TO the
post owing to the recent death of Mr.
John " Mackay. Still, the field will be
composed of enough good ones to make
4 cracking good race, with the winner
hard to pick.
The Brighton Derby.
The Brighton Derby. for three-year-
oIds, the conditions of which are similar
TO those OF the Brighton Junior Stakes,
in that $500 goes TO the winner. has
thirty-six high-class -year-olds left

tions. Among them are Lconid, Hyphen.

ailing list. The others, however, should
provide 4 rattling good race. Hyphen' 5
performance en- Saturday, when he ran
one and one-sixteenth miles in l:44i2
achievement and stamps him as one of
the best Of his age shown this year.
Indeed. it would not be surprising to
see this Himyar colt develop into the
premier three-year- old OF the season.
He won In very easy fashion on Satur-
day, and although he had up only l02
pounds. he beat good field Of horses.
There is some doubt about Hyphen
being able to 30 the Derby route but
II he can do Il he will be very near the
winner at the finish. His closest com
petitors likely will be the Morris colts
and Gold Cure. The latter horse ran a
good race in the Iroquois Stakes on
July 10. when he was beaten only two
heads by the Morris colts. old England
and Homestead, and seems 10 be Of the
improving sort.
