mile heats in harness ITO sulkes). The condition OF
the trot was good day and good track. And the day
came out the loves of the lovely, in coudess sky,
a westerly breeze and with temperature neither too
hot nor too cold Out Of the calendar could not have
come forth finer day for great race. Eager expec-
tation stirred every sporting heart, and every lover
of game and speed, and all the world were
early ajog for the Union Course. Long ere the hour
to start had come some 20 900 people were covering
every stand and all the field and course. The betting
for the week previous had been at about 100 to 40 on
Flora and on the course continued the same, though
in some rare instances low 100 TO IS were laid.
The race of last week had assured party and in
undated the other.
When the horses appeared and stripped both showed
capital ndition The little seemed to be
better and yet the event showed her not quite up to
the mark As in her last match, her fore feet were
bound up Her coat was blooming, her legs clean and
ine her eye bright and Clear and her step elastic and
spirited She had cheerful, gay look and seemed to
a. tba who
and attended her.
Patchen looked grandly-showing bloom and spirit,
and that he was in condition drawn to feathers
nicely. One might well have deemed him worthy to
race for mans life as a stake.
After their appearance, nearly an hour elapsed ere
the crowds that focked around the horses could find
entire satisfaction in the indulgence of their admiration
for the nobest twain of speedy ever paraded to
view.
But everything must have An end, and at length
both admiration and patience are exhausted Every
ear waits to hear the warning BELL and at length that
ecmes and the blsnkets stripped, and the eager
eyes of the champion catch animation from the sound
of the surgDg that give way for the rendezvous
at the stand and scoring ground. Away the horses
ttaIt for their preliminary trots. While ali this goes
on the multitude look and grow eager And this,
he POLE Away 20 the horses for the start After one
attempt they get off at the second very evenly and
make rush for the lead. But Patchen, withthe in
side can outoot the speedy little round the turn,
and be draws in 'front.' and leads to the quarter pole
in hand, going easily but with telling stride. Once
in the straight work of the far sde he quckened pace
and strobe away gaily, with the little mare near.
Then they went on TO the middle of the stretch when
Flora moved up and seemed to strive well for the lead
but Talman reused the big one and he opens out that
long rate that the ground like the wind sweep
ing the clouds.
His quickened pace tells on the mare and carries her
off her feet. She once in the air the prance, the
horse opened out lead of three four lengths, and
McMann struggles hard to bring Flora out of her
break and settle her back to work and steadness Ere
this is DONE Taman has brought his horse up to the
half-mile pole. With a quick eye, he sees his power
over Flora and takes his horse in hand and goes stead
lily but easily round the turn leaving to Flora all that
she could wish to do to get up him at the end of the
turn, and be ready to brush with Patchen up the
straight work to the stand.
As they swept off the turn to the stretch, Patchen
had lead of length and this he held to steadily, and
a rafting pace, in which she could not head him, led
them up to the stand finishing the first mile in min
ues % seconds. This mile DONE into the second they
rush, and Talman driving his horse little wide to
carry him easily round the turn, McNIann saw his
chance and pulled his back and shot in on the In
tide for pass on the shorter turn. But Talman was
not to be caught. In the flash of an eye he drew his
horse back and Flora forced to be taken in hand
and pulled out. Round the turn he too much for
her. and he came to the quarter pole with lead of
length and a half.
This point gained, and Flora, rested up from the
quiet way in which she came round the turn, was
