Decision of Race Leads to Belief That Fitz Herbert Is Superior of Hilarious — Big Crowd Sees Racing Under Ideal Conditions. New York. June 20. — Hilarious again defeated Fayette an l Joe Madden, his pi I iltill ■! rivals for this seasons three-vear old stake honors, in the SM.SM Tidal Stakes at Shee|,sliea.l Bay toilay. and the ureal eolts victory was marked hv even less effort than had attended either of his preceding easily aehieved triuin|ihs over Hie iiair. Hie quartet of starters also ineluded Coiiutv Fair, an imon-► eiiuential unWilate. running for the lir*t time in the name and colors of Miss Marronc. who had acquired 1 ■ i in for ,300 :i few lioiirs previously. First plaie wa generally eoneedeil lo James It. Keene s brilliant -on of Voter and llarpsiehord. although mm Madden and Hildreth hath helieved that the had a royal ehanee of heating him. This made the »l tlltt aboul Hilarious good, and 1 to 2 was ahvavs on tap. The Keeiie trainer. .limmv Howe, ridiculed Joe Maddeaa pretensions. "Its the Fayette quality that is uncertain." hi- declared bo fori the race. Hilarious doiniiiated the running throughout. He made a sort of a Ix.hlde midway of the streieb. ami close ohservers said that Seovllle was kicking him at this point. If so. Hilarious probably was loariui; and Scoxillc. mindful of Mr. Keenes orders, decided to take ik chances. Hilarious early frac tional time, with stake weight up. was considered niarveloii; ly fast, but there was a marked slowing down la the Imsi quarter, which may be an indication of doubtful stamina on the part of the winner. It is generally believed that Fltz Herbert is his superior. Fayette was always in closest attendance to Hilaiioiis and sut prised the spectators by decisively I tailing off Joe Madden s challenge for sceuprl. It »ubs cqiieiilly developed that Hildreths horse had been lamped iiimhi in the race and he milled up lame. The iniiirv was on the pastern of his right foreleg, where a swelling the size of a hens egg was visible. .Mr. Hildreth was unable to deckle if the eouseqiience* would result in Joe Madden helm* thrown out of training. For the first time in a week perfect racing conditions prevailed today, and with a card of high quality offered, the usual half-holiday crowd always looked for was augmented to such an extent that there were fully 15.000 t eople on hand when the afternoons sport began.
