4 RAcEs-The race yesterday was me
most interesting Of the week, and attracted a
very large crowd to witBessi Il. It was for the
Club purse Of ssoo. two miles and repeat, and
there were six eEtriss-Kate Hayes CheTles
Morgan, suWarrow, Jack Gamble, Henpland,
and MERETwErHER's grey horse b. Ambassa-
dor cut Of FTaxineIIs. Il is very seldom that 50
many good ones come together, and although
no one was willing TO same the winner, Kate
Hayes was decidedly The favOrite as shown BY
the way she rated Ia pools. AgTsat deal Of
money was stsked on the result at all kinds Of
odds and upon every point. Amongst horse men,
Charles Morgan was ~fsvorits, and considers
bic money was put up by such on the field
against Kate Hayes and Hsmpland. The bet
ting changed after each heat, aud there was
scarcely a nan who did not hedge out at some
time pending the race. There were 3 few who
having stake their bottom dollar on Kate
Hayes bad not the means to hedge at the long
odds required, ard these we're the only heavy
winners, We have never seen a race upon
which 80 much money vas bet, and 60 little
changed hands upon n haal settlement.
We have not time TO describe the race at
length It is suacisn. to say, it was well
contested throughout, and altogether one OF
the most interesting, az well as one Of the fast
est, all things considered, ever run In Tennes-
see. There was considerable dissatisfaction
expressed at the conduct Of one Of the turner's,
bat, upon the whole, things went of satisfac-
torily, and to the great delight Of outsiders
generally, who were sweet upon the winner,
and, with proFsrbisl good luck, bagged the
ksowing ones for a considerable amount
Although Kate Hayes got a good send of
at the start in each heat, and showed herself
dead game, az well ss in hne condition, no
little Of the credit OF her success is due % her
rider, BILLY RASH, Of whom it is but just to
say that be has proven himself on previous oe
~casiOns, as on this, an accomplished jockey.
The first heat was a very close contest between
Kate and Hsmpland, who was beautifully rid
den BY CHEAfHAn's boy; but had be been able
to hold bis colt up and save him in the second,
in which Chss. Morgan, who had lain Up and Just
within his distance IN the first heat,
contested the palm viii Ka's and dsfea'sl her,
the result nighthav been different. But as it was
made a very game race, and showed him
self a colt Of great speed and wonderful endu-
rance. He made an excellent run, under the
circumstances, for be is evidently not in the
best tx, and, after bis long travel, it would
hsve been a matter q surprise had be been
able to win the race. In the second mile in the
first heat, there was some very exciting brush
ing between Hsmpland, suWsrrOws Kate Hayes
and MerriBetber's grey, in which they changed
with such rspidlty that il was impossible
By the eye to keep pace with their movements; Z
but when they swung into the home stretch,
Hemplsnd showed his nose ahead Of all, and
Kept bis position to the string, Kate Hayes
closing in on him. He made this =
nile, the fastest ia the race, in 14s3, ami won L
tie heat By q throatlatch in 3.444.
In the first heat Jack Gamble was shut out,
and in The second, the red flag dropped in the :
Of MEREIWETHEE's Ambassador and So
the last mentioned Of which was a
,ood third 10 the fret heat. =,
The third heat was not so fast a. those pre-
,eding it, but was holly contested between the
HsmpIand, Charles Morgan and D
Kate Hayes, and was won By q half length by
be latter in 3.4e, Charles coming In second. Y
q the last mile of the fourth and final heat,
here was another desperate struggle between !
throe, each having won a heat. Kate got :
be start as usual, and this time kept it, going q
t a long, easy, smooth stride, and shaking g
hem of whenever they tackled her. When ?
yer BILLY called on her she let out another 4
ink, and she csms ION under an easy pull j.
With considerable run still left in her, making .
be eighth mile in I.553. She was evidently in o
iptoP cOHditiOn, coming up to the starting post n
uistly, looking fine as silk, and going of like .
bullet at the word. y
