Lady Lishiioot. AT the appointed hour the
horses appeared en- the course, and started IA
few minutes after twelve o'clock, TO run four
mile heats. Betsey Richards took the lead
and kept some distance ahead during the
whole of the rounds except a very short part
of the third. when Lady Lightfoot appeared
Tor moment Ia gain a little upon her The
lirst heat was won with apparently great ease
by Betscy Richards-and so confident were
the Nrglnlans IN the superiority of their horse
that he was ridden without " hip. The first
heat was run in seven minutes and thirty -one
seconds, the course being not mile round
The betting was chiefly on the first heat-two
to one in favor of Betsey Richards.
Alter the customary interval, the call TO
horse was again made-when IT appeared
that Indy Lishtfoot was ,cithdrawn and
would not contest the second heat 70

Richards was gailopped round and took the
purse. The trial of speed in the first heat
was sufficient tn prove her great powers. and
