As soon as the horses were taken up and brought
back 10 the Judges Stand. Daaats rtder fftaifd
from exhaustion. Tie hot sun aud sifoug pull
du ing the whole first hear had so worn Inn out
that after the first Two miles OF The 2nd neat were
run he WIS utterly powetcss. and unable 10 give his
horse any support at all Duane runs on his courasc,
anl requires strong steady pull 10 brace MN ahc
keep his head up. Had Stephen been able To take a
pull on HIM the last quarter OF the last mile, "hcn
he three lengths ahcad-preels'ly such respite
as Cornelius gave Bosion--hc would have won The
heat, 10 a ceualuty.
We have rarely Witnessed 50 much excitement
about race Al tie leasl advantage gained by eltber
horse, the cheering tremendous, aud the odds
yeerod to the right about. The betting Ms general
and heavy The impression WAS universal that but
for his fider, Duane must have won the 2nd heat.
ARTufg lAiLoR chew ed his tobacco a mighty deal
finer an even. and even the Napoleon oi the Turf
seemed 10 anticipate Waterloo defeat. Both horses
were good deal distressed, Duane recovering best.
Mr.. MtCARGo, however, thought his chance was
out he had not been bottled up OF restrained IN
the least. Betting men, however sui FOUGHT very
shy, aud ono hedged dollar. When ii WAS
known that John lIarn an was to tide Duane for The
3rd heat. 100 IS Offered against Inn, as John
obliged TO carry between four and five pounds
weight extra. At length the noble animals came to
the post, for the
THIRD heni--Two or three fuse starts occurred,
Boston expressing most decided and natural un-
wlllr guess Ia repeat four mile heat three times,
over heavy track. They finally got Off Duane lead
ing by three lengths. lie might easily have made a
gap on the lst quarter, Of half dozen lengths bad
John pressed Inn, but lac pulled back to Boston 1t
was not until lhey came to The Bird quarter mile posi-
that Boston tapped him, but Duane came first TO the
stand. On the back side Boston passed aud led by
three lengths 10 the lth quarter when Duane crept
up close. After n brush down the chle straight
side, Duane came IN front just below the stand but
Boston, IN five SIX STROKES gained The lead They
kept up thei run TO the siand, when Duane was up
10 BOslon's gifhs the latter made slight gap IN
gong round the turn, Cornelius huggug the fence
close to tear his linen pants aud John here took
Duane III hand iof brush on the third quarter, whctc
he collarcd Boston, aud they SWING round INTO the
straight stretch neck aud neck. The struggle up to
the stand was tremendous, but the extra weight
Duane told in thrd heat, and Boston won by about
hall length alter one OF the best contested and most
interesting -Four mile races ever Witnessed.
Boston acquires more reputation by tins race, than
by running heat IN 40 having demonstrated that
ms foot Is only equalled by ms bottom, considering
the state OF the track, the time was extraordinary.
