THE RACEs-For the Sewanee Stake, Harry Of
tie West took the purse at a gallop, the other en-
tries paying forfeit.
SECOND RAcE-Mile heats for all ages; five en-
tries.
In this race OYbopraL was the fayorte against
the field at a little over eyen-say 500 to S9O-in
the pools The weight which he had to carry
made some Of his friends little dubious, and
caused them 20 take the field. Lady Fdshtoh
was sold second GrigsJv third, Sdiadta fourth,
and Ounce last. But the drum taps, and up they
all come looking elegant as rosebuds m May

them especially anxious 10 beat lhe iayorlt1.

FasLian and Saiadin. The drum taps, and away
they go. They soon come down 10 their work, all
except GrgsJg n though the first heat determined
the race Now they stretch out and now they
come together. india rubber like; sometimes one
of tbem-another just a iootie ahead But the
general impression after going over halt-mile
is that Saladi's rider knows that if he wins, has
nose must go under the string first; hence he goes
in accordingly. Nobody bet on his winning a
heat lie was next TO last or worse IN every pool.
But that niger in pea-green brought him down
10 his work and kept him there until he came IN

have no distinct remembrance Of ever having
seen a more exciting heat. There was no chance
for throwing of. Every tub had to stand on ITS
own bottom: or in other words, every horse had
20 do his own running. Fashion, GrigsbV. and
Stgadin seemed TO be endeayoring TO come down
into the torfics. Ashley began to make the turn

up pcrceptibly, and showed that he was in for the

what you call IT, II reminded Us Of the times
when Frank Cheatham used TO order his division
TO charge a potato patch or six gun battery. Such
whipping aud squirting, w-h-e-w. Every horse
caught it furiously. But Sdiodia had EN-. Oot-
