The SECOND GREAT RACE BErwEEN THE NORTH
AND SOURI, OVER THE UNION COURSE, LONG ISLAND.
I'm consequence of the very sudden change in the
weather, the race announced to come off between
Fashion andJeannetteau yesterday did not take place
About as much interest is excited in the affair, in
that of the great race between Peytona and Fashion
on Tuesday last Fashion on this occasion, will
have the second best horse of Mr. kirkman's stable
to compete with-one of the best three mile horses
of the South and promises to give good account of
herself in four mile one. We believe this will be
her first effort in that respect, and if are not
much mistaken, something more than Is generally
expected, will be the result The change of weather
in more than respect is in favor of Fashion-in
the first place, to giving her more time to
recover from her late severe struggle on Tues
day; and, secondly, in having better ground
to run over, as this rain, with few hours sun
shine intervening cannot fail Of improving the
course, which at present 1t much needs. Jeannet-
teau has made one Of the best three-mile races of
the year, in sash. This will give those who have
not had an opportunity to witness the great
Tuesday last of witnessing one equally interesting,
without the interruption OF a rowdy mob in such
numbers to prevent anything like pleasant sport.
II the weather IS at all favorable, will come off to-
day about one O'Clock, 1t not, on Monday. There
were some vague rumors last evening of the match
going oil altogether, but, upon inquiry, we found
that there no grounds whatever for the report
although several influential Southeners had left the
city. Should the weather be unfavorable to-day, it
will come off on the first fair day succeeding.
We give the following outline of Jeannetteau's
performances from the Spirit Of the Times; it may
enable parties to form some opinion OF what may be
expected. Ponder well and act upon facts:
Jeannetteau, Tor Jeannetton, as it should be writ
ten,) chestnut flly, was bred by Col. Adam l..
of Natchez, Miss, in 1910. She was
got by Imp Leviathan out Of Stakeholder mare,
Tho NJ Rn, thu
kentucky turf-not Miss Bailey by Imp Boaster.
We do not rccolect the pedigree of this Stock
holder mare, but know that she was highly bred,
and from the stock of our old friend DR.. John
Shelby, of Nashville, one of the editors of the
Tennessee Agricultural, anu stock breeder Of the
highest repute She has cross of Oscar and Paco-
let in her veins. Jeannetteau is about l5-lA high,
and in superb racing form. She first came out at
Natchez, on 2lst Nov, 1874, for two mile purse,
and ran second to Colonel Eliott's Tarantula, win
ming the second heat; the course was deep in mud.
Her next race was in the December following, at
New Orleans ECLIPSE Course), where, on the 9th,
she second to Mr.. Kenner's Feathers; but again
won the second heat--time O0-l 58-2 90 course
heavy. On the 18th (the same weekly, she won the
Jockey Club pnrse, three mile heats, beating Midas
Boys, in 55-5 So, distancing the last two. ssB
c." deemed her the best yr. old at the meeting.
At the meeting during the same month 9th Dec.)
on the Metare course, she the three mile purse
in 45-5 SSa beating Liatunah, (now a stable COM
panion) Marine and Norma. As a 3yr, DID, jean
neteau carried in this race S3bs Marine, as yr.

her, especially, that Peytona daily takes her exer-
