MONDAY MORNING. APRIL %, 1866 ---THIPLE SHEET

reaching the stand, he had barely passed the dis
tance pole. This mile was done in one minute
fftyeight seconds and thrse-quarters; making
the time of the heat seven minutes ffty-three
seconds and quarter.
The tables were turned now, and the knowing
ones began to look blue. Nor were their hopes
and wishes at all encouraged by Che appearance
of Rousseau on being unsadded He was very
heavily blown, the sweat streamed from him, his
eye was dull, he hung his head as though he
hoped there was no more such work before him,
and his hind fetlocks were skinned, as though he
ran with his pasterns and hoofs in line. He rap
idly picked up, however, and it was evident he
had enough in him to make it sure thing shat he
would not win the heat and purse. Charley showed
very well, although by no means handsome look
ing animal at any time, standing or running.
For the third heat, they started with the grey on
the inside track and leading few lengths, from
the turn round the first mile and increasing the
gap on the second mile, till in the last quarter,
Rousseau crept up. They both passed the stand
well in hand, for the third mile. On the back
stretch Rousseau made another push on the grey,
but was shaken off, and was four or Eve lengths
behind at the stand. The fourth mile was a repe-
tition of the third, except that Rousseau made a
gallant struggle down the home stretch, but was
unable to reach the grey, who passed the stand
two lengths ahead of him. The time of each mile
was, respectively 1853; 202. 2:0O-of the
heat sos.
