TROTTING ON THE FASHION COURSE.

TROTTING ON THE FASHION COURSE.
Yesterday two trots came off on the Fashion
Course. l.. L. The first was for purse OF 800,
given by the Association, and for which the follow
ing three horses were entered: ID. Tallman's b. <.
Memnon ID. Mills's b. m. Lady Sherman; and
Horace Jones's b. IN. Belle Brandon. The latter
was drawn, leaving the money to be contested
for bv Lady Sherman and Memnon. The latter
was the favorite, 800 to $50 being freely bet on
her winning the purse. The knowing ones, how
ever, were taken in by the result, Mennon, ad-
mirably driven by ID. Talimau, went off With the
lead in eacn heat and won, without bresk IN three
straight heats, in 2:36, 2:36, 2:35.
The second race was handicap trot OF mile heats,
beet three in fve for purse and stake OF So.
There were four entr es viz, Sam McLaughlins b.
e. Lofty in harness.; Wilson's 8. g zen. Halleck,
100 pounds wagon, and Oakley's b. &. Homes, Whit,
lg7 rounds wagon. The latter wac the better
favorite Of the three in the betting, but in the
preceding race the non.iay0rte carried oil the
prize, Lofty winning iii three straight heats in
2:46l, 2:i6, 2:i6.
On Thursday afternoon Mr. Bonner, the proprie.
tor of the uneq ualed Ledger team, drove his bay
Rediug Lantern, htched alongside the winning
horse Socks Ethan Aliens well-klown mate), IN a
go b road wagon, Oh the Fashion Course, mile 10
the unprecedented time OF two minutes ana twenty
seconds. with two breaks only; the half mile being
troted in one minute and seven .econds. This per-
Torrance stands without parallel, as Ethan Aliens
great trottng feat, with running mate the above.
named horse Socks, was done TO a skeleton wagon,
while Lanterns was in Il heavy road wagon.
Mr.. Bonner may justly feel proud IN the posses-
sion of three such fast trottere AS Lantern, Lady
Palmer. and Flalbush Maid. The above perform
snce alro shows conclusvey that If Lantern IN his
great match with Ethan Allen and mate, had been
6itched to a faster-runoing mate than PccolOmini,
he would have beaten the time then made f2:2ii
and won the match.
