MN. Napoleon |. in this heat met with misfor-
tune similar to that of Tom Booker and lost one of
ms shoes. Ills driver made no effort to hurry him.
About the middle of this heat General Dnnbam
was brought down to steady work, and showed
fine speed, but though he gained on Rockingham
he could not overtake him, and in irving TO do so
on the home stretch was carried off his feet and
dld some desperate running, but without avail
Rockingham passing the score two lengths ahead
IL was evident that if the General was able to win

down to General Durham and Rockingham. Sew
G, era enorts were made before the horses got off
They started with the General in the lead but he
soon broke, and Rockingham took the inside track
The General was brought to his work again, and
moved admirably. He pressed up until the tip of
his nose was opposite the wheels of his compet-
itors sulky. For several hundred yards the horses
travelled almost side by side, but when within
quarter of mile of home the Generals feet flew
up. He was brought down to his work inside of
fifty yards, and when they passed the score his
mead was IN front. This called forth a shout from
the spectators, and the heat was awarded to the
General. Time 2.35
=, Fourth Heat-The horses both looked fatigued.
General Durham was wet all over and Rockinu-
ham looked warm. There were two false starts
but when they came up the third tme the word
was given, and away they went. Rockingham took
the inside track, and before the quarter pole was
reached, the General was badly off his feet Rock
lngham kept steadily with greater speed than he
had shown during any of the heats. The General
was gathered up, and did some handsome moving.
1t was all over. Rockingham had the course to
himself, and went home in dog trot in 40. The
Judges handed the $500 to Mr.. Jocen, and the race
was over.
Rockingham is from New Haven, Connecticut,

Of fine proportions and excellent style. General

mense power. Properly trained, aud he would
show no common speed.
