SECOND MATCH. KENTUCKY VI. TENNESSEE.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Wednesday Evening,
October -, isIi.
and the victor is your tavorite Zenith by Eclipse,
out OF Belle Anderson, the property OF Charles
Bdford, Esq. He is a fine, powe colt, of great
eonc, deep IN the srth, and the hooks and the oin
OF his celebrated sire. On this occa sion he was in
superb condition. As the general expectation Col
watson brought out Tkonhill. Never were peo.
pie 50 much at fault; his trainer pronounced him in
me test possible order, and 50 confident was he Of
ms powers, that he offered himself To bet ) To 4
that Thornhi would never be collared in the 6rs,
heat Is 1t not little strange, that in a stable
where the horses are often tried, his auaIities
were not more correctly ascersined. To me.
IhornhIll looked like horse after a long campai,n
stale, and completely off his foot; that he vas dead
amiss cannot be denied. The betting up TO LAST
night was 2 10 l on the choice Of Kentucky, but
on the course, previous to starting the Thornhill
party p!anked up pretty freely at 100 10 IS, and
eNea bets while they were running
The race IS easily described. Thornhill bulsed
OF like quarter horse, and at the fits, turn was
upwards OF thirty yards ahead Zenith going hard
IN hand at steady rate, gradually gaining and in
" hNy ~.
AT the gate, he Inade play; on reachu, ThornhIlI
they ran together for about Fifty yards, when 20
NTH drew clear, apparently running under a strong
PuUi he never was caught, but came home in foe
style, and won sy upwards OF length with perfect
ease.
After the heat, Thornhill Showed plainly he had
no earthly chance. He swelled Over the lcins and
would not sweat. Zenith cid no, mind the heat,
Second Hsai-No betting. They had an excel.
lent start, Zenith got the lead the turn when the
other went ahead. At the halfmie post they Again
changed places,-the Eclipse was three lengths |
ahead on completing the first mile; he still con,inu.
ed 10 increase the gap, and entering the last quar-
ter he was up~ards OF hundred yards ahead. |
"hen orders were gwen TO hold him Up, TO enable |
the Glencoe colt 10 save his distance.
The weather cleared mp last night, and TO-DAY |
We had brilliant sun and cloudess sky, which |
together with other attractions, drew an immense
asSem6!ase to the course. ReCapitu atom
