A most interesting trot, and well contested
throughout. In the second heat Just after the word

who was third somewhat pressed in upon Tom
Moore the consequence was he broke, and in pull
ing up the sulky turned over, threw the driver Mat
Clintock, underneath, and went over him. Hiram
Woodruff, with his usual good TACT turned out of his
track to avoid coming in contact with his fallen OPP
ponent, losing some five or SIX lengths which threw
his chance out. The suky of Tom Moore recover
ed its proper position and the animal pursued its
course without driver or guide. At the quarter
pole, he approached Trouble, who was leading on
the inside, and never was more presence of mind
displayed on any occasion, than by the driver of the
latter. Col; Berthe, when ne heard the empty sui.

unsparlngly on the head and ears of the approach
