The Races at Saratoga-Grsat Sport Tom Carn-

Jackson, the american Deer, on the Third Heat
Remarkably fast Irotting, and Speed unparalleled
IN Running.
We had rare sport on the Saratoga race course,
yesterday afternoon, between the celebrated horse
Tom Camley, alias Jack Rossiter, and Jackson, the
runner, whose wonderful speed has procured for
him the soubrquet of American Deer. He is man
Of short stature and light weight-not over one
hundred and thirty-but for of his SIZE he makes
fine show of muscle and flesh, and is evidently
powerful man.
The contest was for apurss of $500. jackson
was TO run mile in less time than the horse could
trot two miles, the former giving the latter start
Of 225 Yards, or an eighth of mile. The contest
was announced to come off at half past four, but as
is customary on the Saratoga course, there was a
delay of about an hour after that There were about
sixty barouches and other vehicles on the ground,
and in them probably one hundred ladies' while the
male spectators, embracing all ranks and condi-
tons, ages and colors, about three hundred
more noticed half a-dozen we'll dressed Indian
girls, from Canada, in theyencosure. In short the
company was precisely such an one is always
sure to be congregated at trottng match in Sara
toga There was considerable number of sport
ing characters, and few of that useful and indus
trious class who have distinguished themselves as
burglars and pckpockets.
FTn Heaf.-Gen. Durham, owner Of the csle-
hat k,~.. II -
assisted by four Others. AT halfpast five, at the
tap OF the drum, the eembatants were ready for a
stan-the horse leading of in light sulky, until
ne attained his starting distance Of 25 yards when
the word " go y was given to Jackson, and off he
started, like deer sure enough, the horse deing
his best but breaking two or three limos during the
heat. Jackson was evidently holding back, for
what purpose will be directly ascerained. The
horse came in the second mile in An. As. leav-
ing Jackson some twenty or thirty yards behind |
On the part Of the horse the trotng was quick and
beautiful; i was the best time that he has ever |
made; while the running Of Jackson was decidedly
bad, and disappointed many Of his friends, who had
seen him do much better At the close Of this heat
the owner Of Tom Carnley announced from the |
against any other in the United States, two mae
heats, for $500 The object Of this shall d-
recty. rest oftwenty minutes took place. Bets
were two and three to one in favor Of the horse.
Second Heaf-Tom Carnley had fine start, as
before, and at the word =" 60" Jackson went off
like chain lightning. He evidently did his prettest
this heat; there was marked difference in his
motions and his speed; and when the horse passed
the stand on the first mile, il was evident that
Jackson was bound TO beat He came in Az, in
handsome style, amid the cheers of the multitude,
leaving his competitor far in the background as
he himself was on the first heat. II was now plain
10 every one at all acquainted with horse racag,
that Jackson was TO be the winner-that he was |
10 take the purse if there any purse in the BUSH
ness, which / very much doubt. He has never |
before, In all his running, made good time and |
he was not worried in the least while the horse
appeared to feel and show the effects of the heat,
heat was bad, whether purposey so or not, can
not say. The betting was now decidedly in favor |
Of jackson, with odds in some csses-say fifty |
dollars TO thirty, and in that proportion.
Third Hsat-Tom Carney came up to the stand |
evidently the worse for wear, while Jackson APP |
pesred as fresh as when he frst appeared upon the
course. The horse had hne start, as before, and
on account OF some neglect on the part OF Gen.
Durham, he got two or three lengths more than
his given distance, before the word ego" was
given to Jackson. That, however, made no diff.
ference. The latter went oil In beautiful style, and
performed his mile in iii1, coming in ahead Of the
horse fifty yards or more, and amidst the deafen-
ing shouts Of the spectators. have seen hun
dred races in my day, but never saw one that
would begin TO compare in interest with this. The
jockeyiDR, however was too palpable. | have no |
doubt that the horse beat Jackson with all the
ease In the world, notwithstanding the wonder |
full speed Of the latter.
Time of the Heafs.-Tom Carnley first heat, |
49, the second and third not timed, as he was |
held up before reaching the judges stand.
Jackson's first mile was performed in Isi9; Sc
cond, AZ; third, Al.
