There was a large attendance at the
course, and good proportion of elegant
carriages filled with ladies. The weather
was just of the temperature for turf sports,
cool, and bracing.
For the first race the entries were, S. M.
Minnesota Belle, 10y SPENCER; 5. 6. Char
lie, by LANGLEY, both of St. Paul; b. 6.
Black Rob, by BRowN, OF St. Anthony.
The Belle is well known here, and is
great favorite, from her gamy qualities,
and the gracefulness of her motion. Char.
lie is the property of a gentlemen in town
used for ordinary driving, and went into the
race without being fitted. Black Rob is
young, ungainly brute, with power enough
to run a saw nilI, but without training !;
and, as was evident from the start, he was
distanced iii the first heat. The race be-
tween the Belle and Charlie was to ap'
pearances closely contested - though it
was evident the Belle did not reach her
gait till the third heat; and, we suspec.:,
did not show what she ~as really capable
Of even then. She took the race i'll three
straight heats, winning the premium OF
$50; Ch,u1ie taking the second premium
OF $50.
SUMMARY PAIRING race, horses to harness,
mile heats, best three in five:
Minnesota Belle s. m. by Spencer. l l
Charlie. s. z. by Langley ...........2
Black Rob b g by Brown. ...... Dist.
Time: 300; PAS: 800.
For the second race only two horses
came to the stand-larincible, s. m, en-
tered by PERRY SLOAN, and the Lee Horse
s. G., entered by CAMPBELL. This was a
running race for single dash of mile,
and came off between the second and
third heats of the trot above recorded.
The Lee Horse was the favorite, and as
clean piece of horse flesh as often graces
q track. He left the mare from the first
Jump, and would have distanced her easily;
when, just as he had passed the half mile
stake he bolted, and left the mare to gal
lop home ct her leisure. She took the
premium Of $40; no second premium
awarded.I

The concluding race Of the day was
trot for green horses. The entries were
Black Finch, bl. S., by SPENCER, Gen.
Sully, br. g., by DoBLE, WabashaU Coli,
or. e., by POTTER, ard the Day Horse, b.
g., by PRESCOTT. In the first beat the
last named two horses were distanced and
ruled out. The contest between the STALL
ion and Gen. Sully was close throughout;
with the advantage Of speed, as was
thought, on the side of the gallant Briga-
der, and of training on the part of Black
Finch. The training told, and the stallion
won the race and the premium of $40, in
three straight heats. Gen. Sully is Ba'
shaw colt, of long stride and quick action;
end the impression created by the race
xas, that, with sufficient handling, he
could not only beat the stallion, but al
most any other horse on our turf. This
was his first race.
