TRorTINc AND PACING MATCHES OVER THE CEN

announced to come of, yesterday, over this track
and as might have been expected, drew good,
muster of the choice spirits. The weather wa,
orather warm, and every amount of dust prevailed
3along the road. The track was in good order, con
isidering, but as hard bricks-a complete stone
The first sport announced to come off, was

that day, Henry Clay to carry Hiram Woodruff,

Col Berthe objected to Whelan driving, as it wa,
IN understood matter agreed upon, "that Hiram
Woodruff was to drive dead or alive;" how, in thu
former case was not mentioned After good dea
|of confab pro and CON-, the Judges decided thai
|they were bound to decide according to the written

las Hiram Woodruff's eight was made up. To this
THE Colonel objected, as no one could tell Wood.
Iuits weight unless he was present to weigh and the
Colonel called upon him to come forward and
weigh. Notwithstanding this, the Judges persisted
in their decision, and the Colonel entered protest
against the affair and withdrew; Henry Clay then
walked over for the stakes. Some further trouble
there is every probability, is likely grow out of the
|afar. The best way to prevent which is to let the
animals come together again upon true sporting prn
|ciples, no quibbiing or jockeying about it.

such match-the least said the bet

much pipe clay about it. These two matches were
run between the heats oil the succeeding matches.

H. Jones, -. .br m. Nell Gwyn.
Previous to the start, some objection was made to
the b. m. Fashion; it was stated that she had won
IA purse exceeding $50. After some little delay and
argument, she. was Withdrawn. The other four
then came to the scratch in good style in the order
above, and ridden by those in whose name they
were entered Suffolk Queen led the way but at the
bottom fell somewhat off, and b. m. Fnshion went
|up, the other two, some three or four lengths be.
|hlnd at the quarter Nell went up, and Bryan made
Ia bad break, which threw his chance backward
more than tritie, but he recovered nightly, ere
|he reached the half, which was done in min. q
seconds, Nell Leading with Ephraim close at her
tail; at the three quarters Whelan made break,
(which threw him little behind, and Jones KEPT
ibis position well up with ]. Spicer, which he main
|taned to the drawgate looking for all life like q
winner, and kept thus to within 70 lengths of the
Judges stand, where he made break which threw
ibis chance out, and Ephraim came In near length
lin front in min. IS sec. Fashion and the Suffolk
queen about five or six lengths behind, well toge
|ther.
The second heat, the grim led the way closely fol.
lowed by Ephraim Nell and the other, well together
| Up the back stretch, Nell made most laundering
break, and notwithstanding all the endeavors Of her
tut. A like late awaited Ephraim near the top, anc
lis chance out, at the turn near the three quar-
ers, Fashion made break which threw her behinc
considerably, which she was not able to recove
ind the or. m. came in some five or SIX lengths II
front in min. Al sec. the two best animals of thu
match, Nell Gwynn and Ephraim Smooth, dis
tanced.
For the third heat the grey mare again led the way

latter made laundering break, and lost upwards Of
dozen lengths, but she recovered nightly ere they
reached the half mile pole, and round the top made
the gap less. Here it was most beautiful troi
no telling which had the lead. They kept thus home
where it was found that Fashion led about half !,
length in min 40 sec.
The fourth heat was very similar in every respect
Fashion leading home about length in min Al
The fifth heat, as usual the grey led the way, bu
Fashion took it from her ere she reached the quar-
ter and went in front. At the half the grey made VI
considerable lee way, but not sufficient to be Of much
service and ut the hree-quarter made break which
threw her some five or six lengths further behind
This she was not able to recover and they came in
thus--Fashion leading the way-in 2 min. Az sec.
Fashion winning the purse.
This was certainly of the most beautiful troil
that has taken place in this neighborhood To-
some time, and the grey mare, although not
victor, proved she was credit to her stock being
half sister 10 Lady Suffolk, who in action she is no
unlike, particularly when il is known that she wal
taken out of pasture that very morning. and at the
commencement of the match threw one of he
shoes. d. Bryant, at the conclusion, offered to bach
her against her conqueror for $500 against $50, Il
come off within fourteen days. as did several others
but twas no 60; although rather unsightly animal
with queer gait, there is more in her than meet
the eye but she is now in the hands Of one tina
will bring it out of her if it is possible.
