The race was without interest from first to las
unless little incident that occurred on the 0uarte
stand, that we observed, may be considered intel
esting

Nicholas was running easy and when the prop.
en- time came, NE went in front, and won the heat
/ IN the respectable time of 5:474. The contest
was virtually over Every one knew that old Tom
could not get over The sod again in anything like
that time, willie it was evident the Car had not
run lick
The contest was soon over. The second heat was
run IN 553, and easily b. the great Tartar Rus
slams namesake without cheer.
The second race was for the Club Purse Of $500,
two mile heats. for which there were the following
entries

The Delta says this was more exciting race than
the first. The Lexington FLY laura Farris) was
freely backed at odds against the field. Mr.. MINORS
colt Reserve was the only entry spoken Of having
a ghost Of chance against the filly-Big Ellen and
Arthur Adams not being thought of IN the race
They got of in the first heat, Reserve leading
handsomely till just before they finished the first
mile, which was good when the FLY made rush, /
won the front place and the heat by only halt a
length in the good time Of 1881, which left Big Ellen
and the Wagner colt on the wrong side OfJOrdan.
a white boy rode the FLY in the first heat, and /
managed so badly as to be nearly endorsed This |
little circumstance induced Capt. Tom. Moore to
change his jockey.
The second heat was repetition Of the first, at /
every inch Of turf, but 1t would not do. The blood
Of Lexington proved itself superior TO that OF Le-
comte and the FLY won the heat and race. in 5:4l4.
