AZ soon q Il was ascertained among the betting
circles that Messrs Fowler and Green intended
psying forfeifs. and that only three Of the six en-
iries would come to the scratch, spectators open
a their golden batteries Ia favor Of Mr. Be'chers
fIly against the field which offers were readily &C.
cepted by those who believe the odds good horse
al oil times. Before the horses appeared on the
course, . considerable amount OF money was staked
but when the trio" showed ia front Of the stand,
the lively appearance of Henry and the perfect
condition of the z nganee colt re assured them,
and they again rallied and drove the speculators
on the FLY from their position, forcing them to
break under or claim the odds. This result was
quite natural the fact being considered that she had
never made Al two mile race, and therefore was un-
known to fame; while Henry, one of her competi-
tors had proved his speed and endurance ON other
fields; nevertheless her friends felt saneuine
knowing a. they did, that she was by Tally Ho, the
favorite son of Boston. and Of the best racers
of his day.
First Hea.-At1 o'clock the trumpet sounded.

When they had gone one hundred and fifty yards
the FLY showed in 'front.' the colt being second and
Henry third, evidently taking it easy, desiring on

the first mile in 1.55 without change or variation
| the FLY going at her ease, under strong pull,
while the young Zinganee exerted all his powers,
to join her company, but without success. On the

Second Heat-The anxiety of the starters to get b

back ice, when the three came up abreast rece!v-
ed the word and took up the running from the
start. The fleet footed fly soon drew in 'front.' and
under steady pull made some beautiful running,
the Zinganee colt brushing at her several times in
the first half mile, but failing to reach her Henrys
rider finding that the jig was up, unless he could 40
something, rallied his horse and made splendid
brush coming up side by side with the fly who not
fancyng such partner, let out another link, out
ran him down the stretch, and passed the score In
the first mile In 81 l2, leading Henry about two
lengths The second mile was run In the same
manner, Henry continually " brushing" to get in
'front.' but always finding the young Miss with
enough in hand to ease OFF and keep him at dis.
lance. And thus the mile was run in 200 liz, and
the heat in $50, the FLY winning with apparent
ease.
