THE COURSE
On Thursday, large number of spectators
were ON the ground to witness that most exciting
of all scenes the trial of speed between the
horses, No betting was permitted; aud so fnr
as it was possible, nll profanity md undue ex-
ciement were avoided by the visitors. The fol
lowing horses were entered;-
MoAtreaiA dark hay Stallion, owned by
Henry uraut
Moseor--A dark brown Stallion, owned by
VIM. $. Fleming,
Biaci Harl-A black Stallion, owned by
Wyatt & Rowe.
AT three o'clock the horses were brought up.
on the course, and the judges drew for their
positions Montreal drew the inside of the
track Moscow the centre, and Black Hawk the
outside. AT the word the horses started off il
good style, but Moscow and Black Hawk hrOkt
before they had proceeded far. They were sooI
brought into work again by their drivers, an,
I afterwards kept their movements well. Thi
heats were one mile each; and Montreal won thu
first, his time being > 54 Black Hawk follow
ed, and Moscow brought . 'he 'ear.
The second heat was wa. by Jlack Hawk, his
time heing . Sc. Montreal came in at two
thirds length behind Black Hawk, and Moscow
briskly brought up the rear.
At the conclusion Of this heat, difficulty
occurred with the driver of Montreal, which let
to the withdrawal of that horse from the track
after which the third heat progressed, Moscow
and Black Hawk being the only horses on tht
course. The result of this heat was the success
of Moscow; time L.. After going about
quarter of mile or less, Black Hawk broke ant
was unable to make the time he had lost before
his competitor had secured the heat.
The fourth heat resulted similarly; Moscow
time being 3.05. The rain now beginning tt
fall heavily, the fifth heat was yielded to Mes
COW without trial.
The general opinion was that Black Hawk wa,
not in good troiting condition; and, on the othe
hand it was alleged that Moscow was lttl,
little lame.
The following horses were also booked fol
uial, but the rain coming on they did not appear
OH the track :-Outario, Shylock, White Hall

Owing to the incemeucy Of the weather thu
exhibition will be continued to-day.
New INvEHrIoN.-M George c. Robinson oil

plan. Tho remainder of it will be laid before

Of eight separate parts, by which, they being
properly adjusted, the bridge becomes self sus-
tanning and safe
