A fresh interest in turf matters was aroused in this city by tbc great contest at Baltiinore between Ten JBroeek, Parole and Torn Ochiltrce. The victory of Paroio over the stnunch Western ohanipion, Ten Broeck, was a fitting close to ono of the most remarkable records ever made by a turfmnn in a single season. At the spring meeting at Jerome Park, at the Long Brnnch July meeting, at Snratoga, at Jerome Park agnia in September and October, and finally at Baltimore, Mr. Pierre Lorillard's horsos have eaplured nearly every prize for which they have been entered. During the season it lias been the constant remark that if Pierre Lorillard should start a goat, he would win, so constantly have his colors been first at the winning-post. His namo heads the list of winners of the season, and the amonntof his winningsis upward of $50,000. Next on the list coinés George Lorillard, Pierre's brother, with winnings of betweeu 835,000 and $40,000. Both have frequently competed in the same race, but PieiTe has been the everlucky one, and the great victory of his horse Parole over Harper Ten Broeck and his brother's Torn Ochiltree is the brightest triumph of all the season. It is a noticeable fact that while the brothers Lorillard, who are comparatively young on the turf, have been tlms overwhelmingly successful, sueh veterans as Col. McDaniel and August Belmout are far down in the list, and it is believed by those who are well-inforired that the firstnamed " oíd stager" has been a laige loser on the season's work. - New York Cor.
