The TuRr.-Ata an early hour in the forenoon
of Yesterday, the route to the race course pre-
seuted an animated scene. The bright sun which
shone so auspiciously, induced many to exchange
the dusty streets of our city for the clear air OF
Long island.
A few minutes after one O'Clock the match be-
tween Livineston's Goliah and Col. Johnson
Virginia mare Bonnets of Blue. for 10, 0oO dol
lars, commenced The animals are each tour
years old, GoIiah got by Eclipse, and Bonnets OF
Blue by Sir Charles; the sires Of both have there
fore been famous on the turf The Jockey who
rode the Southern mare was dressed in blue; he
of the Northern IN red; each carried feather
| weight. In the first heat the mare kept the lead
with apparent ease, and the knowing ones say
this was permitted with view OF saving Gollah
for the two last, which it was expected ne would
win on bottom In the second heat the mare
had the lead IN the first nile and hall, but then
the horse passed her by and kept IN advance Tor
more than mile. This was the most Interesting
part of the race. Appearances were so much IN
favor of Goiah, that although betting, at the end
Of the first heat was three to two, and even TWO
to one on the mare, now many were taken al even
bets. Finally, the mare won the second heat by
about two lengths. The time of the first heat,
miles. was GIN. Is Sec; of the second 8m. Sc
veral thousand dollars changed owners during
the course Of the day.
Every sportsman knows, of course, that this Is
not the first success achieved by " Bonnets OF
Blue" In the spring Of 1880, SIZE won the great
stakes on Union Course, and in the following
October she won the sweepstakes at Tree Hill,
Richmond, and on both these occasions her speed
was greater than exhibited yesterday.
This Day at four o'clock--Match race between
Mr.. Livlngston's Golia aud Col. Johnson's Bon
nets of Blue, two miles, for 2, 600 dollars.

Tree Hill, have been unusually spirited and well
contested. The number of race horses on the
field is unprecedented. Thirty-seven were ex-
ercising at the same time on the Tree Hill track.
