SERRANOS HUVTBOKNE RACf. Ia Serrano Tomlinson and Co. hive perhaps the best horse at a mile that is racing in the west at present. The son of Fonso Janet won the .last race at Hawthorne yesterday impressively -and easily from Tulla Fonso and Benueville. It was his seventh consecutive victory. Yesterdays race was at one mile and seventy yards and bscause little Dominick was up the ring took liberties with Serrano. He looked oa form like a natural 1 to 2 shot, bat despite a heavy play on him there wbb always about 6 to 3 laid acamst him. That Sarrano was fit and ready was evident bafore the first seventy yards were run. He wont to the front at the start and ha and Bonneville .sot a terrific pace, They racsd like a team the first half in 48 1-4 seconds and the first three-quarters in 1:14 1-1. Then Beuneville began to get leg-woary, bat Serrano kept at his ansrry pace and stalling off Tulla Fodsos ru3h like a gentleman iu the stretch he eventually "won very easily. The first three-quarters broke Benoevilles racing spirit and he waa lucky to beat Hittick for third place. The latter finished strong and wa3 at Bennevilles throat-latch, j Outside of Serranos clever victory Tommy Uaroa riding was ihe afternoons feature. He j had five mounts, won throe rac3s, was second! once and unplaced once. Hi ride on Tin-j cennes in the third race, at nina furlong?, was an extoptionally gnod piece of work and pla nly j demonstrated how much bo outclasses most of j -the other boya when it comes to riding over a j distance of grouad. Trottor had the mount on Pay the Fiddler and as the race was run it seemed that he was the best. Here is how Trotter rode Pay the Fiddler going a mile and an eighth. He broke fifth and at once drew his whip. The early pace set by fianlight was fast, the three furlongs being run in 35 i and the half iu 49 seconds. This did not seem to make any difference to Trotter. All he sought was to got to the front as soon as possible, and naturally he rode the colt into the ground. On the other hand, Burns, with Yin-cennes, dropped in bahind the field on the rail, -and thus avoided the fast early pace and took the shortest route. When the field got straightened away for home Pay the Fiddler was about three lengths in front and Trotter was still at the whip. About this time Burns made his move with ViDcennos and gradually wore the leader lpwn. May Beach dodged Frank Bell in the five furlong condition race and this left only Sim W. for the St. Louis sprinter to beat. He closed a Ted hot favorite at 9 to 20 and won, but in doing ao he had to be pressed to the limit and then . beat S.m W. none too easily. Frank Bell is a speedy horsa, but has lijtle stamina. After 3ein carried along the first quarter in 231 seconds by Emma M. it took some of the run out of him, and in the last sixteenth he was in distress. Sim W. did not have speed enough to . keep within striking distance of the leaders in tho early stages of the jonrney, but through the stretch he came fast, and had tho route been farther, he would probably have beaten Prank Bell. There was a big bunch of cheap maiden 3-year-olds in the first race and after a rough journey .Animus won by a neck in a hard drive from Brown Dick. It was a pretty finish between thispbir. Both were strongly ridden. Hagerdon cantered home an easy winner in tho five and one-half furlong two-year-old event He was lacky in getting a flying star: asd won all the way. Parmenion, the 7 to 5 favorite, got away poorly and never had a winning chance. Catastrophe, with 120 pounds and Burns up, was backed from 4 to 1 down for the fifth race, which was at one mile, and getting off in front be sec a pace to suit himself and won cleverly from Tappan.
