"THE GRAND national HORSE FAIR"
We went out again yesterday to visit
The First Grand National Horse Fair
of the Union Association for the Improve.
ment Of the Breed of Horses" it being
the fourth day of their exhibition upon
the Eclipse Course.
The difficulties of getting to and from
that Course. except in private carriages,
are such that they will always deter sober
citizens of New York from the underta-
king. Strangers may be tempted to try
it once-they never will again. Conse-
quently the crowd will always be made up
of just such materials as that of more
than three.fourths of the two thousand
persons present on Thursday-persons
who drive fast horses drink bad rum,
smoke much tobacco, and "talk horse"
and are not deferred from driving to a
horse-race by dust as thick as it was yes
terday on Long Island.
The Trotting.-The first trotting
match yesterday was the finishing up Of
one begun the night previous between
Moses Taylor Frank Temple, Kate Smith,
and Brummin, mile heats; the first being
won by Moses Taylor, in 2:36, distancing
Brummin, and the second was won by
Taylor in the same time
AT l l-2 o'clock the stations entered
for trot of two mile heats for $500
were called to the stand, and the following
horses responded Toronto Chiefa brown
horse, 8 years old, 16 hands high, owned
by james Brown, of Toronto, Canada;
sired by Black Warrior, out of dam by
old Eclipse. Young Columbus, ownedby
W. Smith, of Orwell, Vt. Plowboy owned
by L. s. SammiS, of Long Island; and
the celebrated Hiram Drew, horse that
has held Ethan Allen some close trots.
These horses were driven in skeleton
wagons, weighted to 300 pounds for wag-
on and driver, and the trot proved one of
the most exciting and interesting that has
lately been witnessed.
The first mile was made BY Columbus
ahead in 2:37, and the heat was won by
Hiram Drew in SOL, the position being:
Drew, !; Toronto, 2; Plowboy, 3; Co
lumbus, 4.
The second heat, Toronto made the
first mile in 2:40, and won the heat in
5:2l Drew I'd, and Plowboy Sd. Co.
lumbus not on this heat.
The third heat, Toronto made the first
mile in 2:45, and the heat in 5:26; and,
as all disinterested persons thought, fairly
won, but the judges gave it dead heat
with Plowboy.
Ethan ALlen's Irot.-At a O'Clock
the trot on the Union Course came of,
and Ethan Allen distanced his New Jer-
sey competitor in 2:2S on the first mile, in
harness, thus easily winning a thousand
dollars and showing himself more speedy
than ever before, and showing,we believe,
only second to Flora Temple, and very
dangerous horse to compete with upon a
one-mile course.-N. Y. IIib. 29th ult.
