in the two mile race as We have previously stated,
Lantern 1t appeared to be effort mis- part,
although CeDtrevie came out ahead in the urst mile of
each heat. The trae IL is true, nothing speak
Of; but IL generally supposed by the majority of
the spectators that Lantern kept back with view
creating belief that Centrevls could beat him mills
heats The result of the second does to
confirm this opinion, for Centreviue heated
in it, having taken the track Immediately starting
ana retaining it to the end The time also much
quicker. Centreville unfit for ths two mile contest
bit he appeared at home Ia the second race although
many thought him too weas to get through it, and
betting one hundred TO twenty five on Lantern after
Ctptreville had the 6rst heat, which thought
to have been lost by the driver of Lantern hodog the
powers OF Centreville too lightly IL tha heat had
been lost, the result might have been otherwise
These horses again matched for mile heats and will
go in October next when both will be In better condi
ton, and exciting contest may looked for The
time made in the last race was 2:36A-2:3iI-2:31h.
