trottcd within month, the first being in harness,
which took five heats to decide, and with the result
Of which the owners Of Huguenot were not quito
satisfied, and they claimed another trial-a match
to xsgsns-which was readily acceded; and hence
tie race yesterday. Mark Mcguire again proved
himself most superior horse and exhibited at

not been doing we'll since his last race. having the
distemper, or something OF tn at nature; bat his
hacker must have thought him we'll enough to win
the race. He certainly did not look fully up to the
mark, and may have been worse than he appeared;
but nevertheless we doubt his ability to beat the
