FIFTH DAr---Saturday, March 3l.-In announ-
cling, ON Saturday morning, the entries for tho four
mile race 20 come off that day, we remarked:
"Weh have high opinion of Charner, but looking
at the change Of weather and the present state OF
the course in consequence Of the heavy rain Of yes
erday, we cannot be quite charmed into the belief
| that because she has made some splendid perfoms
| ances, she is certain TO beat Little Emily. The
| race, we fancy, will be closer affair than some
sanguine people think. and after yesterdays exhi-
bton of crack flly being teetoially used up. we
do MT see why the same thing may not again occur
! We have an idea that in mud-lariking the Wagner
stock is fully equal-nay superior the Glencoe
stock" e 8s fasg
| AT the time we wrote this, Charsser was the
favorite, and 50 she continued until Immediately
before starting, when the betting. which had grad
ually got to five to four her, was further altered
by the Little Emily party coming out with spirit
and backing their mare at evens The weather
was delightful, and the attendance ut the course,
| though much less numerous than q race between
two such good 'uns should have drawn, was " mid
ding fair" The course, was to be expected
| after the rain on Friday was very heavy, and
good deal of betting on time was done. The race
is easily described. As we ventufed to suggest
the Wagner FLY proved more than match for the
Glencoe nevertheless, our opinion Of Charmer's
merits as first class racer remains unaltered We
believe still that che is the equal of any race-nsg
in the South, on course that il in fair condition.
but in mud larkng we think she has superiorss and
Little Emily is one of them.
In the first heat Little Emily took the lead and
kept il throughout the four miles, winning by nearly
two lengths. in s:35. ,Charmer several times made
an effort for the leadership, bat always without
cess. Little Emily appeared less tired, after the
heat than Charmer, but the latter soon recovered,
and was full of play and mischief
The betting now changed, and the Little Emily
party became very confident; 100 to Is, 100 to 20.
and 100 to Is were successfully bet on the Wagner
mare and even at these odds, Charmer's hackers
did not seem very eager to stand up to the rack.
In the second heat, Charmer led off at q rattling
pace, and continued ahead until after the two en-
tered the straight run home in the last mile, when,
by admirable management, Little Emily got the
outside of the course and on hard ground, made
play, challenged Charmer, passed her, and came
in the winner by length and half. in 6:l0-re-
markably fast time, considering the state of the
track. We annex a summary of therace:

SIXTH DAY-Smday, April April Fools
day was well kept upon the Eclipse Course. The
"crack" was again beaten. Tho race-mile
heats-best three in five-is always favorite with
H. 10 10 lint hr
do like to see an exciting contest between good
field of high mettled racers. There were three en-
tries-Sarah Warren, a very fine filly and winner
on previous day-Eolns, noted good 'un-and
Belshazzar fily out Of Elouise, of which report
was favorable. The day was beautiful; the course,
though rather heavy, showed much improvement
on its condition on Saturday, and the attendance
was better than on any previous day of the meeting
Sarah Warren was the favorite, at two to one on
her, from the time the entries were announced to
the start. We saw but little business done at the
figure Five heats were run, but they presented
few points worth describing.
In the first heat, Sarah Warren led all the way
round, (the EIouise filly making pretty race with
herr and won by about length, in l:55i. Eolus
kept snug and didn't exert himself for the heat.
Two to one was now the figure against Sarah
ana three 10 one against Lolusy uus SnEou
fought shy Eous won the second heat in hand
canter, the Eouise FLY having unsuccessfuy con-
tested with him-time 1:574.
Five to four was now offered on Eolus, and in
one or two instances five to three was the figure,
but very little was done. Sarah appeared to be
out of the market. After two false starts, the lot
got off well, the Eouise filly leading, maintaining
her position all the way round, and winning in
2:05-very slow time indeed.
The betting (what there was Of it) was now at
evens on Eolus. The lot, after one false start,
shot off in double quick time, the Elouise FLY
leading, but before they entered the back stretch,
Eolus gave signs of a determination TO 60 ahead,
and after pretty contest, passed the Elouise FLY
and came in very easy winner, 1.-THE other two
holding up when it was found they couldn't go in
with Eolus,) in l:5S.
Considerable excitement now prevailed, and 100
to 30 was offered on Eolus, but no takers Sarah
Warren and Eolus made the running in the last
heat, and had a pretty struggle which resulted in
victory to the latter by length, he winning the
heat in 1:54a. This closed The sports of the Spring
meeting at the Eclipse Course. We annex sum
mary of the race:
