that this season the knowing ones in rotting have
been let into a secret that they would have been
rather more pleased at not knowing Almost eve
ry one of the tavorites for purse or IN match,
have been rather behind in these gentlemen's wish
es aud expectations. The affair which came of
over the Beacon Course, Hoboken, yesterday, is
only surpassed by that of the Cayuga Chief, short
time since. horse that was no where IN the bet

The attendance, as might be expected, was both
numerous and respectable. There were not fewer

The animals appeared in first rate trim. Ia par
ticuar, we never saw the Lady look better but
informed that for the last four or hive days
she has not done her work in any thing Ike her
usual manner; her temper has become somewhat
different and she would scarce attend 10 the bit,
and that in consequence, her mouth was very sore;
but Notwithstanding, Mr.. Bryant was pretty conn
dent in her. Columbus, under his new master. has
certainly improved in appearance, ana win sucn

handsome was expected from him but, " blessed

gentlemanly conduct OF his driver, enhanced HIM In
favor, but not sufficiently so to bring HIM out III the

and we were given to understand that the spirited
owner of the former backed him to considerable
extent, at even, on the previous night, On the
ground, previous to the race, Lady Suffolk, if any
thing, had the call against the other two, but the
field was the favori.e at 10 to 8; the mare was
backed at evens against the other two, and to
these figures good deal of business was done in

collect to have heard on any similar occasion.

company towards the half mile, where ne gained

his example, but did not keep it up sufficiently to
maintain the position for any length OF time. In

Americas gradually came up, and between thai

no good. Americus came in upwards OF length
