HILDRETH ENGAGES JOCKEY POWERS. New York, July 2. S. C. Hildreth lias engaged Vincent Powers to do most of the riding for his stable and Powers will pilot Fitz Herbert in the Lawrence Realization, when the Kthelbert colt meets the fleet-footed Hilarious. When Hildreth starts two horses in a race lie will get Dugan to help Powers out whenever the services of that lad are available. Hildreth is especially partial to Dugaifs riding, but lie could not secure the lad, August Belmont having acquired a prior claim. Powers came east to ride Thomas C. McDowells mare. Kings Daughter, in the Suburban. He brought an excellent reputation out of the west, and exacting eastern critics agree that he lias math? good. Powers is a young man of considerable intelligence and much energy. He is alert at the post, he understands pace and he finishes stoutly.
