Course, Carrollton.
THIRD Day Thursday, March ga more
spirited or more beautiful contest than was wit
messed over the Eclipse Course for the $3.50 purse
two mile heats-no one need wish TO see. With
fine weather, the Course in excellent order, and a
field Of good horses, an exciting race, and good
time, was expected, and the expectation was full
filled in both particulars. We only sorry that
the attendance, though somewhat better than on
the preceding days, was not as numerous we
expected. Betting on the race was quite brisk from
the time the entries made on Wednesday,
Djalma maintaining his position as the favorite
throughout, and being freely backed TO a large
amount at evens against the field. His perform
ance justified the confidence of his hackers
In the first heat Doubloon led of, followed by
the others in a ruck going at splendid pace !;
presently Dialma and Doubloon came together, the
others being well up, and thus they went the first
mile, Doubloon passing the stand first, Djalma Sec
ond, Black Satin third Jenny Lind fourth, and
Jumping Muuet last. Before they entered on the
back stretch, it became evident that Jenny could
not keep company with the rest, and the Jumping
Mullet and Black Satin fell off considerably, Dial
ma and Doubloon, the while, running close and
contesting every inch of ground. Djalma, how
ever, finally outfooted the gallant Douboon, and
came in winner by about three lengths, in 3:41a-
Doubloon second, Black Satin third, and Jumping
Mullet bad fourth, Jenny Lind being dstanced.
Djalma's hackers were now more confident than
ever, and two to one on him were freely offered,
but there were not many takers-Doubloon being
somewhat distressed, and the other two hardly
thought of as being likely to make much show for
the first place, while Djama was full of life and as
fresh as daisy. Doubloon, however, had gained
many friends by his game running, and some there
were who had sneaking notion that he would take
che second heat.
In the second heat, Jumping Mullet led off, the
others in cluster close on him. Doubloon soon
went ahead and took up the running, which he
continued at spanking pace, and passed the stand
first Soon afterwards, D5alma began to approach
him. and beautiful contest was carried on between
the two along the back stretch, which terminated,
as in the first heat, by Dalma out-footing him and
coming home the winner, well in hand and hand
somely, Doubloon being second, Black Satin good
third, and Jumping Mullet last-the heat being
run in BAL.
Djalma, by his performance in this race, has
added largely to his fame. He is a troublesome
customer, and will be if he has luck. Doubloon
made excellent running, and astonshed many who
had ne idea that he was fleet of foot as he proved
himself to be. We think that, good as his perfor-
nance was, he could have done better had he been
less Heshy. He certainly was not in as fine con-
dition as the winner; nor was Black Satin, he.
also, having superabundance of flesh, but making,
nevertheless, very good running A good pile
changed hands on Doubloon beating Jumping Null
let-the latter could not begin to 60 the pace with
him, much to the surprise and disappointment of
many, who were very confident of his ability to
" take the shine y out of the sterling Doubloon.
Take it altogether. the race was pretty one as
a turfman could wish to see. We annex sum-
mary of the race:
