FIRST hodt.-A most beautiful and
interesting race was this. The bets
before starting were Ohio against the
field, with an occasional bet on Oraza-
DO against Ohio. At the tap of the
drum they all got off well together,
Orazabo leading for the first quarter,
when Experiment passed and was in
turn passed by Pelham, who dashed by
the judges stand in the first mile hard
in hand, gradually gaining till the last
him, but timber and steel would not do,
and the son of Childers, to the astonish-
ment and CONSERVATION Of the kno,ring
ones. won the heat. Miss Maynard
not liking her situation in the rear, flew
the track, and was consequently dis
tanced.
Second heaf.-Herc was poser; Pei
ham had won and Ohio. the favoritc,
was Just within the distance; still his
friends stood by him and freely took
him against any named horse. A false
start sent Orazabo and Archiana nearly
half way round; but they were all
brought up and made a beautiful ''go,"
Pelham and Orazabo side and side, and
the other four, huddled together. In
the long stretch on the back of the
course Experiment run up and took
the lead, and maintained il till the end
of the mile, when Ohio began TO work,
and for awhile it was any body's mo-
ney; you might have covered the three
with blanket. There were but three
quarters of mile to go. when Archi-
ana let loose, closed with Ohio and Pei
ham. passed them, and was soon on the
lunches of Orazabo, who very gallant
ly gave way for her. The Archy blood
began to tell, and Experiment found
himself hard pushed, still he held his
own; when in the last half mile the La
dy jumped along side of him, and stuck
to him so close. that it was impossible
to say which had it.. Thus side and
side. they turned the corner for the last
stretch; but the "Erperimenf wouldn't
work" and the Lady shook him off.
and passed the stand, with her head
and shoulders clear of him, winning the
heat in fine time, and proving for the
thousandth time that the grey marc
was the better horse"
Third heat.-Pelham was drawn; and
betting was much at stand, though
the cool manner in which the grey mare
seemed to take the matter, inspired her
friends TO back her for the money n
gainst Ohio. Ohio's friends still hung
ON 90 him, and were willing to take him
at odds against the field. The horses
were brought TO the stand, and a very
foul start threw Archiana behind. the
boy having 20 pull up TO prevent her
running against the posts. Nick Bid
die started off very finely, and after a
short contest with Orszabo, passed him,
and led them round. At the first quar-
ter in the second mile, Archiana went
at Experiment and soon gave him the
'go by" she then in succession passed
Orazabo aud Ohio, and the friends Of
Nick Biddlc began TO look wild-but
still he was ahead. The last quarter
must decide the matter. Give il to her
Nick, stick 10 him Archiana." al
ternatcly exclaimed their respective
/ friends. until they came within a hun
dred yards Of the poll. when the mare
slipped passed. winning the heat and
the purse, ia beautiful style.
