The trotting race, Saturday last, over the
Fashion Course, Long Island, between Lancet and
Lantern, for 81 OO0 mile heats, by Lancet,
Lantern winning the second heat Time 2.41s4-
44-243A-2.44. This race well contested,
and as the match for $4,000, an unusually large
number of persons turned out to witness the con-
test and participate in the excitement incident
thereto. The track was not in condition suited to
fast race. At the appointed time the horses were
called up for the word and Immediately thereafter
betting on the result began in earnest. Lancet was
offered at two to one, and taken. Lantern the
second heat, and his hackers rsked the chances
freely, taking every offer made them. When they
were stripped for the third heat Lancet certainly
made the best appearance in point Of order, but
many thought that as it had come to broken heats
Lantern might slip in by the scuffle and win the
trot, while others were offering to wager largely
that he would be nowhere before the race over.
Lancet the race, making the quickest heat ever
trotted over this track to a wagon.
