THE TWENTY-ONE MILE TROT.

THE OCEAN YACHT RACE•

(From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, New York.)
In accordance with the match heretofore announced in
the Spirit, the famous horse Captain McGowan was started
to attempt the hitherto unaccomplished feat of trotting
twenty-one miles within the hour, in harness. It will be
remembered that the horse did twenty miles last year in
considerably less than an hour, and making the best
twenty-mile time that there is. Three times only has the
feat of trotting twenty miles an hour been accomplished,
but it does not follow that there have not been plenty of
horses that could have done it. Hiram Woodruff .tells us
that Dutchman could have trotted twenty miles an hour to
a waggon, and he says that Dexter and General Butler can
do it now. lie also names several other horses that ho is
confident can trot twenty miles an hour. The first that
did it was Trustee, a chesnut gelding by the thorough-
bred horse, imported Trustee, out of the trotting mare
Fanny Pullen. He was driven by C. S. Baitine, and trotted
twenty miles on the Union Course, October 20th, 1818, in
59m. 3515. Trustee was a strong, big horse, and a noted
hard puller. It was next done by a little mare called Lady
Fulton, owned by George Alley, and who was driven by
James M'Mann. She trotted the twenty miles on the 12th
of July, 1855, in 59m. 555. The performance by Captain
111‘Gowan was made on the last of October, 1865, at River-
side Park, Boston. He was driven by Jack Bowen, and
trotted the 20 miles in 58m. 255. There is no doubt but be
could have trotted2l miles an hour at that time ; but since
then he has run away and hurt himself. We find it stated
in some papers that the Captain is a docile horse. The
truth is that he is one of the most determined bolters that
ever laid hold on a bit. A windless and chain cable would
hardly hold him when he gets off. Nevertheless his
friends had much confidence that he would do it. Mr.
Emerson had staked $1,500 to $5,000. The Captain was
in charge of Hiram Woodruff, not the Old Field Marshal,
but his nephew, the son of the Captain of the Old Guard,
George Woodruff. The crowd was very large, and the
track heavy. It was three to one against the horse. Mr.
Emerson waived the right to postpone the race on account
of the slippery condition'of the track, and announced that
the horse should start and do the best he could under the
circumstances. The judges were Daniel Robbins, 0. L.
Marshall, and D.P. Flagg. The horse was brought on to
the track about 3.50 o'clock, and at 3.55 got the word,
starting off at an easy gait, as though confident of win-
ning the goal. The first mile was made in 3.001. The
second, third, and some others were made in the forties.
After the tenth mile was accomplished the horse began to
exhibit signs of distress, evidencing that he was labouring
hard over the heavy track. During the twelfth mile his
driver found it necessary to force him, using the whip
quite freely. It was now patent to the great crowd of spec-
tators that the elements were against the horse, and that
time had a successful ally in defeating muscle and good
blood, and in this they were not mistaken. It were folly
to force the gelding over such a slippery track, and
although there was no doubt of the horse's capacity to
make unprecedented time, he seemed to have the good
sense to stop of his own will after the 13th mile had been
accomplished. As it was, 101 of the miles had been trotted
inside of time. The following is the time-table of miles,
and the aggregate at the end of each mile :
Miles. Time. Aggregate. Miles. Time.. Aggregate,

(From Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, New York.)
The interest in the ocean yacht race, in which the Vesta,
the Fleetwing, and the Henrietta stand engaged, continues
to increase. It has for some days been the prominent topic
of the clubs, and as the hour approaches for the beautiful
competitors to swing from their moorings and bear off "for
Cowes and 90,000 dollars" we have no doubt it accumulates
so as to engross the attention of every cultivated circle.
Already the subject is canvassed in every possible way.
Tho qualities of the yachts are generally the first thing'
discussed; next comes the probabilities of race, as to be
affected by seamanship, wind, and weather ; next, on what
terms they sail—whether under Club rules or not ; whe-
ther their owners sail in them; whether they aro to be
confined to a certain meridian, or whether each shall choose
its own course, and make the YktOrY more the result el
