horse Joe Stoner the same that won the four mile
at Memphis last spring, and the four mile races
at Lexington, Louisville and Nashville. He was
beaten once by Magenta in three mile race, and in
turn he beat her 1t was generally conceded that
the match was an excellent one. Magenta was the
favorite however, at the odds of 100 to 20, and IN
some instances of 100 to 20, and a great deal OF
money was staked on the result at those figures
The track was Showroom one to two seconds slow
err than the previous day. The horses came up at
the signal.
First Heat-The FLY took the lead before the
turn was reached, and on the back stretch was
good length in advance, and the half mile was done
in 5G1 seconds On the turn Of the third quarter
Joe succeeded in catching the FLY, and they ran to-
gether the remainder of the mile, passing the stand
side by side, the FLY under strong pull, in Isl
The rider of the FLY succeeded in curbing her, and
Joe passed to the lead and the FLY fell behind half
a dozen lengths, and the first half of the second
mile was made in So! seconds, and they came up to
the stand nearly together, making the second mile
in l:59}. The FLY soon took the lead without an
efort-the horse laboring to keep up with her-and
she passed the stand half dozen lengths ahead in
little more than galop. Time of the last mile
l:5sI-of the heat, $3.50.
Second Heat-Stoner took the lead, but after
few jumps, the FLY took place by his side, and
together they had it all the way round, the FLY

under strong pull, in 1881. The horse succeeded
in recovering his place by the fy's side and down
the back stretch they had it together but on the
turn home the FLY took the lead, and kept it to the
end of the second mile, passing the string two
lengths ahead, in 1889. The FLY seemed determin
