Broad Rock Roccs-Secoad Day.-The race yes.
terday was for the Propretors Purse of $500, two
mile heats, for which there were but two entries,
Sebastopoi and Fanny Fern. Those who knew
anything Of the two horses, expected but little
sport, and they were not at all disappointed, but
Notwithstanding this fscf, the Attendance on the
course was quite respectable. As our city readers
know, the weather was excessively warm during
the greater portion of the day, which, added to
the fact that the track In fine order, gave pro-
mise of . fast race; Unfortunately for the lovers
OF tho sport, Fanny was not able to make the con-
test driving one, and consequently the time of
the first heat was longer than anticipated
The race we can describe In very few words
Before starting the horse had the call at three and
ney changed hands. aftt- 90 So ~ Z
First Heas.-Sebastopol having the inside, q good
start was effected, but before the two had gone
one hundred yards the horse passed IN front of
Fanny, and opening q fair gap, continued to lead
her around the two miles, winning the heat with
apparent ease in 3:45t. 81
At the expiration of the usual time for resting
and sweating, the horn sounded to saddle, when
Mr., Hare informed one of the Judges that bis mare
WAS withdrawn. This, of course, gave the purse
to Mr.. Tally and ended the race. re.q1
