THIRD DAY, Thursday, Dec. 13-Alhough the
weather yesterday was anything bat promising, yet
the attendance at the course was sufficient to make
lively time Of it, and the sport was Of the first
order The track throughout, instead of being
heavy, as was the general belief that it would be,
could not have been much better-giving fair
chance for the money to the five crack nags that
started from the score. The entries were Eulalie.
Scissors, Temptation, Heg6a and Flying Dutch
man. Purse, Sl50-mie heats Hegira had the
call, and her friends were active in backing their
Judgment - taking her against the field. The
Dutchman came next; heavy sums were staked
that he would do it up a little quicker than the
three other nags.
First Heat-The nags got off tolerably well TO-
gsther, Hegira and the Dutchman soon leaving
their competitors and going it at a merry lick about
two lengths in advance of'the crowd. The colt
laid too her up the back stretch in beautiful style
at the turn she was barely ahead, and the home
stretch was done up at killing pace, the Dutch
man passing in front just enough TO win the heat
and make the outcome a scene Of intense interest.
Time, l:5O2-not bad by any means, yet it was be-
lieved that the next heat would be still lower down.
Until the hoses were again ready 10 face the music,
handsome business was done or the DutchmaR,
and odds We're given that he would win tie money.
Second Heat.-Hegira led of at a rate that
meant sport from the scratch, and extracted several
KS from her friends before the first quarter had
been passed. Temptation went round merrily with
her, souistimes rather close company; the Dutch
man kept the position Of No 3, and allowed the
TWO to do tue work. Al the stretch there was
| some good running, Temptation making a little
brush for the stand, but it was no go Hegira came
home in the lead, winning the heat in l:54l. The
Dutchman followed the crowd we'll in hand. Again
the betting changed it became more Of an even
thing, and the nags were examined rather closely
before much was done. Scissors had been expected
TO cut out something for himself, and he appeared
50 lively after the hard work that a few of the
knowing ones seemed disposed to lay out their
funds upon him at good rate Of exchange. His
| friends were gradually waking up TO his merits

the rear, and Scissors receiving good place in adj
