Bets were various before starting but as far as we
could learn Polly Hopkins the favorite, though
some preferred Sussex. On the going off, Sally
Hornet took the lead. but was passed by Sussex be-
fore she reached the quarter stretch on the first
round Sussex kept ahead and came out about half
length before Sally Hornet, although it was cvi-
dent to every one, that he was husbanding his
strength for severer trial on the next heat In
this heat, Wewhawk was disanccd on the second
round and gave up the contest. The other horses
did not attempt to take the heat but ed their dis
tanccs. Time am. dos.
The betting still on Polly Hopkins against the
field and even the most knowing shook their heads
in doubt as to the result.
Second Heat. Sussex, Sally Hornet and Char
lotte Temple were successively ahead OH the first
llaft no tur IF tbo
fairly showed his heels to his anita gonsts and it wa.
very apparent that neither of them could take the
heat from him.. At this time Polly Hopkins, who
was thirty or forty yards behind, made push at Sus
sex, soon passed Sally Hornet and Charlotte Tenn
pie and came nearly up to Sussex-hus the last half
of the second mile, and nearly all the third was run.
The other horses apparently giving up the contest
for the heat In coming down the quarter stretch on
the last mIle Polly Hopkins close to. and direct
" behind Susse. till within thirty forty yards of
the starting pole, when her rider applying whip and
spur, brushed up alongside of Sussex, and was beat
| en- by not more than one foot One jump more, and
she would have had the heat The shouts of the bv
ISLANDERS, believing she had gained it, rent the air.
and we have seldom witnessed greater excitement at
this most exciting of amuscmcnts. Charlotte Tenn
pie was distsnced., Time SIN, 43s
| On the whole, although this race may not he rank
ed with the of the day before in interest vet on
many accounts it was one of the best we have ever
yet had the good fortune to witness The time of
the last heat has never been exceeded if we are po
misinormed, but in one instance, on this courseand
that by Sally Walker, in competition with Ariel,
when the-time 5 m. 42s.
In an account yesterday of the second DAVIS race
