DAr-T Yesterday was appointed for the
coming on of the great four mile match Of this meeting,
between Fashion and Latunah. The attendance was
very limited indeed, although the weather was much
favorable for SPORT and mdsr than either OF the
previous days At the hour appointed for bringing up
the horses, o'clock counted on the club stand
and space beneath between thirty and forty individuals
the dollar stand between sixty and seventy in the
open space in the centre about ten or dozen vehicles Of
different kinds and 100 to la0 PERSONS in the field stand
not a single person. These numbers were somewhat
increased in about half hour afterwards, but prnc
psy by parties who obtained entrance by other means
| than payment. still have often observed
much greater attendance at trottng matches for much
| less sums, and with much less pretensons.
About half past o'clock the horses for the principal
and appeared in first rate condition; Liatunah showed
evidence ofconsderabe improvement since last spring
being much like Fashion in several respects only
had each their admirers, but Fashion the decided

For the third mile, the space was rather greater

Fashion increased her speed considerably and opened
the space triae between her and Latunah Round the
top beautiful race took place. After passing the three
quarter pole the struggle commenced in earnest and at
the drawgate they were not more than half length
and as they neared the distance chain Barney applied
his spurs equally but not with success for Fashion
led home SO three or four feet in front completing
the 4th mile in I'm 54ts amid great cheering. Total
for the four miles I'm 434s.
When the animals pulled up below the house. near the
bottom of the course was found that Liatunah
verey cut in the near spur vein indeed it quite
vered, from which the blood flowed in such stream
to form puddle Of gore in very short time and
ed Barneys boots and legs to considerable extent.
The horses were Immediately brought up to the judges
stand, when Dr. Dixon promptly attended the wounded
animal, and by few stitches most successful in
stopping the hemorrhage; and for the prompness and
ability shown this occasion received the thanks Of
many present In doing SO, however, he above his
elbows in blood and which spirited other parts Of
his abments to their detrment and his personal ap
nah would be able attempt second heat There was
consultation among her friends, when Dr. Dixon gave
il as his opinion that it would be highly dangerous to
the animal to attempt it, in all probability the wound
would open in the struggle and there would be tell
ing how much she might bleed. Under these circum.
stances she withdrawn the great satisfaction Of
number Of the most respectable and righminded on
the ground
South some time since when in training. There is
accounting for it, unless it be that animal has such
delicate thin skin as not to bear but slight touch
indeed this is evident for the slightest touch Of the whip

been of the most interesting that has occurred
in this vicinity for some time past although not for such
great SUM as many Of them Such the confidence
in Litunahs powers that her friends ready and
willing to take all the odds against her throughout in

she had completed the distance in I'm 35s.
