9Th instant:
The indications Of the atmosphere, yesterday
morning, Were rather unpropihous; but. neverhe-
less, there quite numerous attendance to wit.
ness the contest between Lady Suffolk and Mac,
for purse Of $500, mile heats, best three in five
under tie saddle. The we'll known abilities and
the varied success Of these two favOritc horses in
former contests, had tendency to render The bet
tug somewhat iiuetuating but previous 10 the race
the hackers Of Mac seemed inclined to demand the
odds; and so far as our observation extended, the
friends of the grey mare did not appear 10 come up
70 the scratch with much avidty The DAY was
close and sultry, and, previous TO the race there
were few slight showers of rain. Much more
was expected in point of time than was accom-
plished-and large amounts were lost and won in
consequence. The race was, however, closely
contested and gave great satisfaction the 1umeT
Gus assembly Quite number Of the faifer pore
ton Of creation graeed the course with their pre-
sence.
Snttoik made objections to tile gait Of Mac, de-
claring that at times bis movement was between a
trot and run. The judges, however, after closely
watching him while at the top Of his speed, deci-
ded that be trotted very fairly. The horse has a
hitchng, uneven, and inelegant manner Of moving
-quite unlike the cleans square, long and graceful
stride of Lady Suffolk but that he is fair lrOtter,
must be conceded by all unprecedented men,
Of the condition Of the horses, many minors had
been circulated for speculative purposes during
Sunday night, which kept numbers from the track,
they being impressed with the belief that Mac
would not contend for the purse; bur while these
rumors We're flying, his friends were piling up their
money wherever odds was offered on athg mare.
Mac looked much better yesterday before and after
the race than the mare did-she appeared too full
too gross and seemed to possess her usual gai-
ely aud spirit. Her owner, however, thought her
in the finest possible order for quick work and felt
very sanguine of the result The following are the
details Of the race:
