Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-05-10

There were two races yesterday, mile
heats and three in FIVE. Five entries in
first, two starting Concord, Lexington
colt, and Peytona Barry, by jim Rogers out
Of an Albion mare, the second remove.
There was but little betting in the way of
pools the night before-it being conceded
that Barry would win. The same was the
case on the track, the oddsin favor of Ba7Ty,
two TO one. Herein those that knew didn't
know--and the ladies especially, Who were
ont in force, were again pleased to see the
weak become strong. There is no telling
how much money changed hands, for it
was abundant, and plsnked munifcently
on the Sumner county nag. There was
full crowd Of gentlemen on the track, and
the police had bat little to do-their COM
mands being simply, at the proper times,
"clear the track J"
FIRST RACE.
First Heaf.-The contestants came at the
bell-tap, well TO do, and justifying friends
C6no0rd had the track and took the lead
by couple Of lengths, and retained it with
little variation till entering the home
stretch, when Barry went for the line and
made il by about ttno feet, Concord having
waited rather long, both came nnder whip.
Time, 2:0l.
Second Heal. - Barry, by her splendid
coup on the home run in the last heat, was
established, and bets were freely offered
four TO one on her, and a number were
taken. The horse lost length in the start
and TO the half mile simply held his own;
then he came up and saluted Barry, and
passed on as If he had urgent business
ahead. He attended TO it and Berry took
her e-being about twenty or thirty
yards the wrong side Of the distance flag,
when Concord passed directly under the
purse under a strong pull. We shall never
know how many "went under" for, like
the boy the calf run over, they "had moth
ing to cay" Time very good-1:49s.
SUMMARY.
Cumberland Stake, No. /, for three year
olds, mile heats; 800 entrance, $50 for
felt, the Association to add $500.

SECOND RACE.
Three in five-Duke of Orleans, by jack
Malone out of Wagner mare; VtctOrine, by
Lexington, and Stirling Price by Highlander,
dam by SHARK, contesting. Both in the
pool rooms and on the track, Duke was the
favorite by from two to FIVE to one.
First Heat-The Duke and VIC. set out
together, Price getting a bad send" On
entering the second half mile, Price got
dissatisfied with his position, passed We,
and came alongside the Duke, and made a
serious question as to who should greet the
Judges first but turning into the home
stretch, the Duke left him and came under
the line easily ahead, without whip in
Lola.
Second Heat.-Duke against the field, FIVE
to one, as shown in the pools, and drag at
that Vac. being the one, and Price Though
second in the first heat gin the vocative."
At the tap they got off fercely-Duke and
Price together, VIC. in reserve Turning
ltlO the DUCK hATelCil, LftCt gleiucuj anu
Vie and Duke had il TO the end the iayorite
taking the heat easily in l:50.
Third Hedt-No pool selling, no chance
to "hedge" Price was famed, and on APP
plication the judges allowed his with
drawal. VIC. was not in good condition, as
she had to be bled in the mouth to quiet
her nerves. The heat was made pro tortrd.
Duke went at his leisure, and his rider
"reined in" two or three hundred yards
before reaching the stand, and the time
made was nominal, being l:5S.
SUMMARY.
Third Race-Associstion Purse, $500.
Mile heats. Three best in FIVE.
