of $4,000 to 10000 persons, and the mare was
victorious in the heats thus given in the
Daily atlas and Bee. q. +. ......r. "A. ......
First Heat-The animals made magnif-
cent start, without fuss or trouble of any
sort. For short distance they maintained
neck-and-neck position, but at once "Flora"
shot ahead. This appeared to disconcert
"Patchen," for he at once made break, and
very bad one. This was improved by the
mare, who speedily widened the gap, reach
ing the first quarter bravely ahead. On the
second Flora gains but ''Patchen," having
righted himself, proceeds to make rapid
gain, when almost abreast of "Flora,n ne
provokiDgly breaks again. falls in the rear,
being sadly behind at the half mile.
Flora kept steadily on, increasing at
each turn, which "Patchen's" driver seeing,
spurs his animal up, and makes good and
almost hopeful gain. At the third quarter
the relative position was about the same,
the chances being on the side of "Flora.'
On the last and home-stretch, "Patchen"
again breaks, and is much disconnected.
Flora" takes good care to improve her time
and comes in to the score at least four lengths
ahead of ''Patchen." She is cheered vocif-
erously, and rises in favor of the spectators.
Time 2:28X.
At the close of the heat the multitude
evident delight. Wagers were made in her
behalf freely. There were many more to offer
than accent.
Second Hedt.-Twenty minutes were al
lowed for between heats, but q much greater
time was taken. The horses were called,
but "Patchen was particularly slow. His
owner was evidently desirous of getting him
in the best possible trim, for his laurels were
in danger. Finally, after several attempts at

off in fine style.
Patchen" took the lead for time, but
was soon overtaken by Flora" who passed
the struggling stallion, but not without an
effort. They were nearly abreast at the first
turn. On the second they maintained posi-
ton of a length apart "Flora" being ahead
On the third quarter Patchen closed up
the gap, but soon lost little On the home
stretch, however, they got head and head,
end came to the score in q beautiful style,
fairly and squarely in line. The crowd re-
-lieved itself of repeated and enthusiastic
cheers.
The committee, after consultation, decided
it dead neat Time 2:28X.
The odds were now offered on "Flora's"
head-$l00 to $40 were heard ON every side.
The takers were few. Notwithstanding the
brave show Of aPa atchen" on the home-stretch,
there was lurking doubt as to his ability
to cope with the mare. At all events the
dollars were with "Flora."
Third Heat-lt was some time before the
horses got off, but finally they did "go,"
Flora almost at the start taking the lead.
"Patchen' broke badly before the first quar-
ter had hardly been reached. He then nearly
got up with his lively contestant but the
mare got the better of him and kept it, On
the first back-stretch "Patchen" again broke,
lost ground, let "Flora" open dangerous ex-
panse between them. Tbei stallion driver
did his best, but nothing would avail. On
the second back-stretch "Flora" gained again,
while 'Patchen' broke, and lost rapidly. On
the home-stretch "Patchen" continued to
break, and ''Flora" came to the stand at least
six lengths ahead of the stallion. The mare
was warmly cheered. Time 2;2S11.
There were now fewer takers than ever for
"Patchen." Even $40 TO 81 was declined
The breaks of "Patchen' were fast breaking
the confidence of his supporters.
Fourth and Last HeGt.-This heat was run
after seven O'clock when the .'shades of even
ing were setting fast upon the track and its
environs Several attempts at q start having
been made, the animals at length got under
way. "Patchen" passed the mare with ap-
parent ease, but did not long sustain the su-
periority.
AT the first quarter they were about neck
and neck. At the second "Flora" bestirred
herselfand went ahead. This had the effect
to throw "Patcheno into an unfortunate
break, from which he did not rally with any
great vigor On the third quarter ''Florah
gained generally, and ON the home-stretch
came in, like the queen she is, full six
lengths ahead of "Patchen." The applause
she received was very hearty and general
She was declared the winner of the heat
and the victor of the race. Time 2:2sH. r
