OAKLAND COURSE.-LA,r pAr-Since the
Cray Eagle and Wagner contest, no en- this
course has excited CRATER interest than the orc
Saturday, between Wagner, Black Nose, Ann In.
MS, Robert Bruce, and Leg Treasurer. The fouT
hrsi had earned more or less reputation, and the
latter had h,S,-rote name. Then there was the
Old srudsc against Wagner, who had sacrificed tho
gallant Gray IA his youih-thc prie, and, but for
Old Wagner, the future uuCouquctarie champion of
Kentucky. Those who follow the fortunes of the
Old Nap, Napoleon never was beaten so onenO
made up th,lr minds 10 win back on Wagner their
numerous losses, aud they backed him against the
held as long there WAS a collar left. But long
before the hour of starting the Wagner money was
all invested. Tne sons Of Kentucky though thew
might dread the "o'd horse" were nearly all vii.
ln: ~ lay their VS. their Ks, by way Of whet-
ing their vengeance, and adding to the eoSe of vic
tory.
They were all ofiat the tap; Leg Treasurer lead.
ing. Bruce to lowed, and the second round chaI-
enged aud passed him. At The first turn on the
third mile, b ack Nose took up the running raised
the Treasurer, and made number of pretty passes
nj Bruce: but Bruce came home ahead, Ann Inns
third, Wagner barely dropping within the distance
blythe greatest cXertIon.
The tables were now turned, aad few there were
that had the least faith IN the "o,d horse" They
all came up again. Bruce took the lead, but Leg
Treasurer soon showed him hi, heels Bruce lay
back for his distance. Ann Inns and Black Nose
locked the Treasurer the tina quarter of the first
mile but the latter wouu keep lI,le ahead unit. he
commenced his fourth mile, when by mistake, he
stUppCd.-E en- the running was taken up visoru-
usiy by Ann aud black Nose, and, after a sharp
contest Black Nose d.oppsd in few lens rs ahead;
Ann Inns second, Bruce wi;hin the distance, Wag.
ner and Leg Treasurer dIstauced.
For the third head, only Black Nose and Bruce |
came forward. Bruce took the lead, and kept IT, |
generally from one 10 two lengths ahead, notwith /
standing numerous challenges, until he entered the
third quarter OF the third mile, when b iCk Nose I
got ahead From this time the distance between the .
