BEo;siIe Raees-SeeOnd and THIRD Day
/ The second days race over the Magnolia
course at Mobile, on Monday last, was al
intensely exciting one, and thousands 0
dollars on the result. The FIRST heat pre-
senied nothing unusual. A correspondent
Of the New Orleans Times thns describe
the second and third hests
Second Hsaf-In forty-iive minutes. Al
debarsn and Rousseau came up for thu
I start Jack showing some signs Of lame
ness, the judges permitted him to be with
drawn. The betting, which was very linz
tied, vas two TO one on Aldebaran, with
few takers. They both got fine start,
Rousseau leading, Aldebaran having await
ed orders. Thus they went the first mile
in 2:O5l: the second, 2;0Sl, Aldebaran lay
ingat Rousseau squarier. When they came
! into the home stretch on the third mile,
the rider Of Aldebaran, Bobby no doubt
thinking he had gone four miles, pulled
ont from behind Rousseau, set 10 and beat
Rousseau at the post by half length.
Immediately after he commenced TO pull
up his horse the judges shouted and the
on, and when the rider Of Aldebaran saw
Rousseau going, he at last set sail, but
with Rousseau ten lengths ahead. At the
last stretch he lessened the gap 10 about
four lengths, but never could reach Rous-
seau, who won By length. Time, 1881 {;
first mile 2:054 second, 2:03i third, l;52 !;
fourth, los.
After this heat the talking began--all
uproarious everybody knowing every
thing but it was plain that the rider Of
Aldebaran had made mistake, and none
felt more sorry than he did The betting
was two 10 one on Rousseau.
Third Hedt--Both horses cooled out vel,
and came well TO the score. This heat re-
quires little comment, as Rousseau took
the lead, was never headed, and won by
three lengths-frst quarter, 3:044; half
mile, loo; first mile, 2:051; one and
half miles, 3:051 two miles, 4:051 two
and half miles, BOO; three miles, 6:05z;
the race, S:02t.

The Register saws: Il is customary to
name horses after winning their first race,
and in conformity with this custom, it was
announced from the judges stand that Mr..
Cottrilps FLY would hereafter be known by
the pretty and romantic name of "Lallah
Rookh," which was received with loud APP
plause. Ii will be observed that the time
made in the above race was very good for
two year olds, and establishes a record for
Mr.. COttrilPs colt, that will put her for
ward for higher honors in a short time.
Lallah Rookh is the embodiment of all the
fine points in a race horse, and possesses
alaa ~ ,f I he e., i
ington colt so much admired by all turf
men, and the public generally. We con-
graduate Mr.. Cottrill on his success in
bringing to perfection the much neglected
Boone stock, so highly priced in the South.
The faultless form, fine size, and game
spirit of Lallah Rookh, will always mark
her as favorite on the turf, and we expect
to see the name famous at no distant day in
turf annals.
Second Raes-This was mile heats, for
the Jockey Club purse, $500. A. NJ.
Sprague entered ]. +. Johnston, and w.
II. Williams entered l.. F. Smith The
latter was the favorite in the pools and on
the grounds by heavy odds-fve to one
with no takers. 1t will be remembered by
our readers that the horse Lewis E. Smith
is the same that beat the fleet and favorite
Maiden, at New Orleans, last fall, mile
heats, for purse of $4,000 1t was, there
fore, net strange that the knowing ones
went on Smith freely, at big odds. The
horse Joe Johnston was beaten here at the
last fall races, and this is the first victory
he ever achieved on the turf
