LOCAL MATTERS.

FArsyrxIp RAcrs-Fiya Dsys--We attended
the rst race Of the season over the Fairfield track,
Yesterday, The track was in fine order, though
dusty, and everything seemed to indicate that ii .
horse could do anything, then was the time to do
II, The race was sweepstakes for four year Odds,
and the following horses contended for the prize:
CEN Green q C. b. b. by Register, dam by Tim
oleon.
James Talley'sg G. g. by Prince George, out of the
dam of Register.
Thos. D. watson's br. b Basil, by Mariner, dam
Cassandra.
From a very early period after our arrival, we
discovered that Wstson's horse was too decidedly
the favorte to allow of much betting and we after
ware heard that it was very limited.
At the appointed time the horses were brought
up to the mark They all seemed to be lively, and
in fine spirits We could not but admire the ad
rnirable manner in which the rider of Watson's
horse managed that bile animal. His gallant bear
ing attracted very general attention. He seemed
to be proud of the noble animal he bestrode, and
that animal seemed to be equally proud of his rider

hill to our recollection The horses SO nearly
abreast to all appearances they might have been
covered by blanket Thus they held on for the
space olabout one hundred yards when the JsQrrel
began to fall back, and at the end Of the first
round, was considerably in the rear. The brown
| horse and the grey FLY came in nearly abreast -
| The second round was contested by them alone,
the sorre apparently aiming only at saving his dis
| lance. The last quarter Of the second round was
very beautiful. The grey had been little ahead,
but she was locked at the by the brown horse,
and for come distance they breast to breast. 1t
was difficult at one time, to decide who would win
but the brow horse solved the difficulty, by
| coming in about length ahead. The sorrel, not
| contending for the heat was content to save his
distance. Time, m. SIS
| Second Heat-The horses all started finely, and
kept close together for the first half of the first
round Then the grey began to drop back, and the
