SECOND DAY.-The weather Yesterday waa ine
and the track in as good order as possible. OF
and Lorette. The former had been the fayorite-
two to one against the field, even when it was sun
posed that a greater number would staFt-and the
confidence reposed in her was not disappointed.
First Hedt.-There was not more than neck
advantage in the start, and Lorette had that and
the outside track, which about equalize1 matters.
The smoke from those stumps, which we beg per-
mission respectfully to suggest might have been
burned two months ago, obscured onr view Of the
first quarter, but whenever we could get glimpse
Of the Gnt1rails Lorette was about a length and
half ahead, space which widenedt down thetrack,
but not SO much as to affect the elements of the
orbit of these two bright particular stars. There
was a brush on the turn-when was there not
brush on the turn (which was soon given Hp but
was renewed on the hOme-stretch, Lorette passing
the string only half length distant from Tennes-
see, who gained the difference, inch by nch until
at the last quarter when they were even. Then
came the usual struggle. which resulted in giving
3:453.
Second Heat-Both horses came to the post
| nothing amiss and after feint on the part of
Lorette they started fair, Tennessee about half q
| length ahead, an advantage which she almost i'm
| medately reiinquished to Lorette, and lay back
| down the stretch widening the interval between
tqem to full four lengths at the half mile post She
| felt her antagonist little round the turn, but
Seemed to feel herself quite safe, and il was evi-
dent that the race was in her power unless she
| fooled it away. This is not impossible that she

occasionally she invariably dropped back to the
same distance which she seemed to have selected,
until after passing the half mile post, when she
crept up until she almost tailed on to her leader.
/ 1t was hazardous experiment, unless she intended
| to make three heats Of it, and she soon showed
that sue did not. The contest began in earnest at
entering the home stretch, but was uncertain until
| half way home, when Tennessee collared Lorette
and came in clear half length ahead.
