James ]. Harrison's Corporal Trim, years old,
by Archie.
Considerable interest was excited by the difficulty
of choice among the more knowing. Trim, Collier,
and Convention, had their respective patrons Per-
hsps Corporal Trim, might be deemed first favoritc.
The start was bad one, the words Ego on" and
"come back" being repeated nearly simultaneously.
The judges and those bearing authority would do
well, and greatly please the field, if they would watch
the manoeuvres of the grooms and trainers, more
narrowly. Some of these gentry various strata
gems to get the advantage in the start, by frctting
the adversary horse making false starts, &C. &C.
This ought to be checked and punished.
The first heat was not very interesting, and was
taken by Convention, without much difficulty. Dis
tances saved. Caswe second. Time in consc-
quence of the start, not reckoncd.
In the second heat, Morgana was Withdrawn.
Collier took the lead, and kept it with apparent
Time--3m. 56s.
In the Sd heat, Convention withdrawn, being
deficient in game. 1t believed, that Trim
having been in hand through the two first heats,
would do honour to the judgment of his hackers.
ThcIr competitors were hardly rectoned and the
contest was considered neither more less than
matcn' between Collier and Trim. Opinion doubt
fol, but rather incllnlng from a comparison of the
whole field, 10 Trim. Both known bottom.
These specuations gave sanguino homo Of mo-
iracted contest, and heightened excitement. Tho,
proved fallacious, Collier, running from his
onist whenever brushed at, took the heat aud pnrse
with easc.-Timc 5m 53s.
