The Greatest Race III tie Worldl

The time.narkcrs were various in their de.

thought 1879 would he most exquisite. But
the fallacy Of mans judgcncn. was at oncc
apparent.

To the task. and after n struggle of the most
splendid description. L%ecomrto came home n
winner of the first heat in The uaprsceRented
time Of T:2G, beating The celebrated time Of
Fashion, in her race against Boston, by six
seconds and n half; Lexington being second.
and Itubc third.
At this point NIL the betting took q change.
Lecomptc was freely backed against the field
at two to one. and but few takers.
AT the tap for the second heat nil three
horses came 10 the score, without changing
opinion. Lexington led, with Lccoml &c rlosu

I'll he went by amid the shouts of thousands.
But the joy was short.liyed, for MS the horses

Lecoinptc collared the Kenkucky stud and cut
him down before The second quarter was cn.

Thus ended the four mile day over the Me-
