THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 1s, 1851
Union Course Races-second Day.


The race over the Union Course yesterday was a
little more exciting than usual. 1t was two-mile
race for purse OF $500 the entries being Col Bing-
aman's b. c., by Sovereign, Mr.. Ross Vitey and Mr..
Imlays Black Cloud Before the race the Sovereign
colt was the favorite over the others at 100 to So
Black Cloud hardly being looked upon competi-
tor for the purse. .-..r...a
First Heat-yiley led, with Black Cloud next and
the colt in the rear and Wiley kept the lead, win
ming the heat in 3:5O4-the only feature being the
colts passing Black Cloud in the back stretch, and
giving Wiley desperate pnsh from that point to the
end. Black Cloud, though far behind, showed his
contempt for two mile heats by insisting third
mile and he got far round the stables before he
would begin to listen to compromise with his rider.
Second Heat.-The betting now changed rather
rashy, with some in favor of Wiley. The bets ranged
at about three to one on his winning the race The
cautious ones held off, and rsked very little either
way Wiley led off again, this time with the colt in
his rear and the gelding behind. The positions
changed little in the first mile. The colt gave battle
in the home stretch, and entered the second mile only
neck behind. The two kept company in this man
to the back stretch where the colt concluded that
the time for action had come, and after desperate
struggle took the lead and home in 3:444, two
lengths ahead. Black Cloud was distanced but he
laughed that to scorn, and again helped himself to
the better part of third mile.
Third Heat-The Sovereign colt, having lost favor
by losing the first heat, was now restored to twice
| his original popularity Bets upon his final vic
tory went begging at five to one. In order TO give
Wiley every chance to repeat his action in the first
heat, his negro rider was dispensed with and Billy
Rash mounted in his place. At drum-tap Wiley again
led. In the back stretch, however, the colt passed
him with apparent ease, and piloted him through all
the rest of the heat winning it and the race in $3.50
Wiley kept up, though, if disposed to be socable
