the second prize THIS may be great sport but 10 say
the least II is very dangerous The other two and
walk by Kentucky gave great satisfaction. The
mile dash between Arcoa Throgsneck, Adcbarau, Mamie
Rains bay colt by Lexington and Richmond was most
| spiri,edly contested The race between Hunters
and Bush's two year ODDS was also capital. The
stations bennington and Harrington, late importaons
from England by Mr.. Cameron, OF Staten Island were
again exhibited and much admired. They are huo spe-
cmens Of the horse, and will doubt be great acqui
son TO the stud of this country but at tho present time
in need Of good brood mares than sallons,
and few mpoations Of choice ones would be profitable
adventures
