million Of dollars was staked on the event
of the race. The various circumstances
upon which so much depends for success
in race were in the highest degree ia.
vorable. The condition OF the horse and
OF the track were excellent, and the sky
clear and the air warm and balmy. The
day could not possibly have been better.

fourth and last mile in I.4744; the whole
distance having been run in theincredibly
short space Of 7;1aa; and the proposed
feat accomplished. The annanncemen,
OF the success OF Lexington, from the
