Club purse, mike heats, 8gaius, fresh horses aud was
then the only contenhns horse in the second heat which
was won By Lel-Bet>ey Richards aud Tiers in
the race.
Shortly after thus he beear. my property, since which
time, ewing to the most intoerahe mismanagcm he
mas beeh uniformly unsuccessful, never cxcep-
"n having hren IN oierable order for see; Mt which
time, his defeat occasioned as much By the unex
amped bad state Of the by the superiority of his
antagonist, In this however, lie was second f.e
irs' and tho other two both distauced.
Three weeks after, (navng run in tie mean time In
NoIIoik, against LIei and Sally HCDC in
when nc "aS Second) he ran in Notoway, 9 mile he s
against HTie, Sally Nagee and Rcdgarn,let; il, ,cIc

race IN which he started when the heats broken,
