TRoTTING AT HERRING r UN.-Ye Yesterday afternoon
n trot came off on the Herring Run course which
resulted In most unsatisfactory manner. 1t is
scenes such this which bring the turf into dsre
spect, and just so long as Jockeys are allowed to
use their arts just long will respectable men re-
fuse to countenance the sport. The horse Rocking
ham is the same animal which the $500 purse
at the late State Agricultural Fair, and is horse
of fine style and excellent speed. The time made
in this trot is not good that made at the Fair
one of the heats then having been made in 229-
Belle OF Baltimore is also beautiful animal moves
gracefully, and is rated among fastest horses
She was formerly the property of John Hinselev,
but was recently sold to Mr.James Ward for So 600.
her performance in this trot was extremely bad,
and those who staked their money on her were
sorey disappointed Both horses were in excellent
condition, and came to the scratch in fine Spirits
Several efforts were made before there was fair
start.
First Reat.-Belle had the inside track, and both
the horses moved rapidly, but the mare Yielded to
the gait and flew off her feet. Her driver pulled
her down as soon possible but lost ground in the
operation, and before the fmile post was reached
the horse had the inside track, and was going at a
killing pace, which eventually took him also off his
feet Before he could be brought down to it, he
had to be refined up. The mare gained but little,
and when the score was passed the horse was five
lengths ahead. Time-2.3712.
Second Heat.-lt was evident that the mare was
nowhere in the trot. Bets to any amount could
have been got, at large odds, that the horse would
win, but there were takers. Several false starts
were made before the word was given, and at the
start the mare was over length ahead. She broke
badly, however, and the horse walked away from
her. There interest in the rest of the heat
and the horse came in an easy winner in 236
| Third Heat-The driver of the mare complained
OF pain in the side and the rens were placed in
| the hands of a man. When the word was Civ
en-, the mare, in the last heat was in front more
than length. AS soon her driver saw the
horse closing up the gap, he loosened the reins
and the mare burst off in a full run. This was
kept up until the home stretch was reached, when
she was brought down to a trot. This was most
reprehensbe driving. 1t was either willful at
tempt to jocky for the heat or else the driver was
not capable of controlling the mare. In either
case 1t admits OF no apology. The horse never
broke during the heat, but trotted steadily and
rapidly and crossed the score in 2.37.
| Outsiders claimed the heat for the mare, and
! demanded a Judgment to that effect, but in this
! they were disappointed. The judges awarded the
heat to the horse and decided that lie had won the
| purse in three straight heats.
! Match for $1,000. Best three in five to light
! wagons.
William Doble, named g. g. Rockingham, Ill.
James Ward, !" br m. Belle of Baltimore 0. 0. 0.
There was not large attendance, and those who
were present were mostly of the sporting Glass;
! The usual appliances for gambling were on the
| ground, and the uninitiated patronized them to a
| considerable extent There was one fight in which
/ well known dissolute character, named Frank
| Arnold, was participant. He and the man with
whom he was fighting were put off the course.
! The PARADE OF THE MARYLAND GUARD.-Y ester
| terday afternoon the battalion of Maryland GuarC
paraded. This parade should have taken place OF
Saturday last, but, owing to the incement wealth
err it was postponed. This action had bad effect

ments to turn out on that day, and could not do 81
| on yesterday. Therefore, the corps was not
large as it should have been. Instead of turning
out two hundred muskets, they had out but on
hundred and fifty. Several of the commissions
