The Free-for-All Stallion Contest Ter- minates-in a Victory for Mon- roe Chief, Mattors Much Mixed in.the 2:27 Raco— Some Fast Pacing by Sorrel Dan. Paoiflo Oonst Billiard Tournament—Bad Luok ‘of Pc Ball lab, THE TURE. “(HE NEST DAY'S RACING EVER SEEN was witnessed by those who visited tho Jockey Club track yesterday, the inaugural ‘day of the great summer trotting meeting. ‘For the forty-eight hours preceding the : weather had been oxceedingly unpropitious, the heavy rain of Sunday night and Monday making the track sticky and slow, while tho chilly wind from the Jake made It still more Improbable that fast time would bo made, In splto of those unfavorable clreumstances, however, fully 5,000 psople wore on hand at the time appointed for the fun tobegin,—tho ‘grent free-for-all stallion raco having un- doubtedly attracted the most of thom. In addition to this avent, which had been anx- lously looked forward to for months, thero was a raco for horses of the 9:27 class, In jwhich a round dozen were named to start, ‘and a meeting of five 2:20 pacers, among which were tho fomous Sorrel Dan and Little Brown Jug, a In tho stallion race the statters wero’ to bo Monroe Chief, Bonescttor, Wedgewood, and Iannis, “Voltaire having been drawn, In the pools Monday night Monroe Chiof was tho favorit, Iannis and Wedgewood also selling well, but at the track Just before the start Hannis had a slight call over any of tho others. It was ovident from the first that Monroe Chicf would be the target, nnd that all the rest would do what they could to beat lin, but dn spite of this fact the friends of the brown stalllon stood by him mantully. They know he was i first-clnss horse, that he could out- ast anything In the party, and, more than all, with Johnson behind him there need bo no fears of tho “}ump” that [s too often the fate of those who put thelr money on the favorit In atrotting-race, Low well thetr judgment. ‘was confirmed the result of the raco shows, as Monroe Chict won It after AS DESPERATE A CONTEST OF FIVE HEATS ‘ng was ever seen on a race-track, trotting all over and around Wannis and Wedgewood, and beating them single-handed ‘and alone. Uorsenen know how extremely difiicult it ts for one trotter to beat two others that take him one at a time, especially when thoy are able to lead him to the half- inile pole; and the performance yesterday of Monroe Chicf in downing two such formida- ble adversaries as Hannis and Wedgewoot Is one that will stand without a parallel for yenrs, For tho first two heats Johnson’s horse was not nt himself, the cold wind and sticky track being both against him, but once wormed up and unlimbered he was a whirl- ‘wind that swept all before it, and every heat came faster and easter. To Peter V. John- son, the man who gave him his record of 3:25 in 1877, and won seven races aut of eight with him that year, belongs the credit of bringing Monroe Chief to the post yesterday In the perfect condition that alone could enn- ‘ble a horse to Hive out such a killing race, ‘and to his quick eye and steady nerve is due tho rest. He had his horse ready to trot fora man’s life, and then drove himin o manner that mado such artists as ‘Turner and Spian take backseats. It was a groat day for Johnson and Monroe Chivf, und {t is grat- itying to chronicle the victory of a first-class horse, driven by aman of whoso honesty there has never been a doubt. ‘Tho audience took iu the situation as soon as a heat had been trotted, and “pulled” for Monroe Chief and Johnson froin the start to the fin- {shy and when at the end tho beautiful blanket of flowers was placed upon the horse, the enthusiasm exceoded anything ever witnessed on a Chicago raco-track. » Throughout the day, In fact, avery- thing went off pleasantly. Tho judges— Messrs, Ilaigilton of Michigan, Kinney of. Nebraska, and Dow of Ohica- go—were watchful . and alort, and yen the driversseomed tojenter Into thospiri¢ of the occasion, and do everything thay could to pleaso the audicnce. There was none of the too frequent appeals for the removal of this or that driver, Nobody Imagined that any horse was belny pulled, and the fact that five heats wore trotted in the stallion rice and five inthe 9:37 class—the latter being still untinished-—shows that everybody was for blood,” and thu crowd would fairly yell With delight at the close finishes In some of tho heats. It.was rare sport, and should the Weather prove pleasant to~lay the track will bo as fast as it ever was, and Wonderful thie uiny be expected in the free-for-all pach race. Jn the twelve heats trotted and pace pesterday the average tlmo was 2:233{—a fact which speaks volumes, Pai ae yar ah CALLED vas the free-for-all stallion stake, Bonesct- fer Monroe Chief, Wedgewood, and Hannts p ‘ing the starters, As cach horse cane out pe Was recelved with appinuse, Dan Maco be- ing behind Bonesettor, Peter V.

The third heat was an intensely exciting one from start to fintah, and resulted in a hard-earned yietory for Monroe Chief, ‘They were all on even terms when the word waa given, but a the first turm Splan pulled Wedgewood Into the pole altogether too close, tho result being to crowd Monroe Chicf out of his position, Tinunts and Wedzewood went to the quarter-polg Ike a double team i186 seconds, Monroo Chief being 0 longth behind them, Bonesetter fourth.

From here heme it) was shake and whip every step of the way, but right at tho wire Hannis broke, and the Chief beat him out by a head, in 8:3187%, Wedgewood halfa length behind. After deciding the heat tho judges announced that Splan had been fined $50 for foul driving. When Mon- Too Chief came back to the stand after win- ning the heat the heartiest cheering of tho day was done, the audience evidently being in sympathy with Johnson, : ‘There was, now aimarked chango in tho pool-selling, Monroe Chict bringing $80 and the fleld $85, When the three stalllons came out for the fourth heat, It was: evident from the way in which Splan scored up with Wedgewood that he was golng to inake tho hardest kind of an effort to win the heat. After four attempts the word was given, with Wedgewood slightly In tho lead. He went head and head with Monrog Chief around the first turn, but was unable to take the pole from hin until Just after passing tho quarter- pole, which was renched In 36 seconds. Splan then pur cis whip to Wedgewood in vizor- ous style, and went to the half-mile polo in 1:12, Monroe Chief then being two lengths bohfnd him, and going easily, From this point Johnson began to call on lis horse, and the Spectators were given an exhibition of speed that none of thom will ever forget. Ho closed rapidly on Splan,, trotting the third quarter in’ 84 secunds—a 2:16 ‘gult, and getting to within length o Wedgewood. Coming home the pnee was 9 terrific one, Monroe Chief galuing at every step on Wedgewood, who was going fast and steady. At the dfstance-stand the palr Jooked like a double team. SPLAN WAS WIUVPING FURIOUBLY, but Johnson sat ikon statue in hls sulky. To those who did not know the wonderful urst of speed possessed by Monroe Chief it seemed that he would be beaten, But about 200 feet from the wire Johnson tapped hig horse’ slightly, and he sped away from the stroke ns it only scoring, instead of being at the dnish of a hot and fast heat. plan nrged Yadgewood for al] there was In hin, but the Chief bent him out 9 neck in the wonderful ‘time of 3:208¢, the Inst-quarter having been trotted In seconils, ‘There was more cheering, the crowd being evidently on the Chief's ‘side. When the horses came out for the fifth and deciding hent it was evident that Tannts vas to take a hand again, Turner having Jnid hint up the previous heat. On the third scoring they Were sent away In good shape, but the supo- rlorspeed of Wedewood enabled him to take the poll just before the quarter-pole was reached, and as Hianuls soon went alongside of him they had the Chief Inna pocket, Io Jaid a length behind them until the half milo was passed, the distance being dong In 1:10,— tho fastest halt mile of tho race. ‘The third quarter was In exactly 35 seconds; but as tho head of the homestretch was renched tho Chief pulled to the outside, came along with his terribic stride, and had the others beaten before thoy were half | way to tho wire, Hoe led thom home by 2 longth Jn the extraordinary time of 23204, and the Frpatest stallion-raco ever seen was over, It 1s impossible to describe the shouting and eheurle in which the crowd indulged as Monroe Chief was jogged back to the stand to allow Jolnson to weigh, Men yelled until they were hoarse, and ounded each other on the back when shout- Ing was no longer posstble, As the stallion cume slowly tu the wire, A MAGNIFICENT FLORAL DLANKET— the. gift of Mrs, II.

Dunton, editor of Dunton’a Spirit of the Turf, after which paper the stake was nanied. Over these evidences'ot friendship for the winner the crowd fairly went wild with enthusinsm, President Dow, of. the Jockey Club, came to the front of the judges’ stand “aud madu tho necessary announer- ments concerning the gifts, after which Mr. » W.

Its preamble reveals a fact which was beginning to dawn upon our Legislature. aud forms (i some sort an historical epoch: “Whereas the habitual rellunce of poor persons upon parochiul relief rather than upon thelr own Industry tends to the moral de- terioration of tho peuple, and to the necumula- uon of heavy. burdens upon parishes . . and whereas by the contribution of the sevings Of many persons to one common fund, the most ofectual provision inay be made for the caatal- tes affecting all the contributors; and it te therefore desirable to alford further facilities and additional sceurity to persons who may bo willing to unite In Buproprialtig sinuil sums from time to time to tho formation of 4 cum= mdn fun for the purpose aforesald; and it 1s dexiruble to protect such persons ngalust the otfects of fraud und inisculculauon.” These lust words are mueh ta tho point.
