TRorTING MATcH-The above affair being over the
horses for the match called whic for $780,
two-me heats to sob: wagons The nags were
Boy. The horse Toby had never shown in public be-
fore but his speed was known pretty well among the
offered on him, were taken in few instances.
FIRST Heat..Butcher Boy won the choice of track.
At the word they went off briskly, Butcher Boy lead
ing length, to the quarter pole, in As. Down the
back stretch Bartine kept the Butcher at work. and
his speed rather than the of the other
horse wished for although it manifest to all that
Toby could have taken the lead at any moment, it
was thought to be a losing game to show too much
speed, and consequently Mr. Bevins lay back think
ing that the Butcher would acken his gait before he
heat was out AID in that way he might win without
exhibiting the great powers and speed of his horse In
this he was mistaken however. Butcher Boy kept up
finely, and passed the stand the first mile in 2:52
side and side with Toby Round the upper turn Toby
went in front; but the Butcher forced him along at
such rate that he brought him to the score in 254
making the heat in SAC. Butcher Boy was length
behind.
Second Heat.-The owner of Butcher Boy was fully
fatsed that his horse had chance of winning; but
he started him again with the determination of maxi
ing the trotting world acquainted with the speed of
the other The only interest in this heat was in specu.
ating on the time that the green horse would have
to show. The first and second miles were each per.
formed in 2.49; making the heat $50.

match Of Thursday, at the Union Track between Jas
Conwaysb 6. Stranger. and Mr. Smiths s. g Edwin
