could not reach by any other means, ana crossed
the score two lengths ahead. The next heat, how
ever settled the question eectuay as the mare beat
both geldng and judges by several lengths The trot
was very exciting affair throughout, with pretty
fair exhibition OF speed on the part OF some OF
the contestants. MI. Haslett's horse was distanced
in the first heat He acted badly and did not seem
to be under the control OF his driver, and cOnse-
quenty was struck out. In the third heat Dr. Ogle
finding his old gray had little no chance Of win
ning prudently withdrew him. and left the contest
to be decided between the black gelding and the
Bashaw mare.
THE HORSES.
Jessie, the winner Of the race is a very fine Bashaw
mare, got by DR.. Rch's Jupiter out OF mare known
in her time as the Moscow Mare, and said to be a
full sister of General Dunham's Moscow, and who
was contemporary twenty-seven years ago with
Beppo, Washington Americus Ripton and other ce-
lebrties of that day. Jessie is chestnut in color with
white face, three white feet, white name and tail
She has apparently derived her white name and tail
from her Moscow dam who was marked in similar
manner. In other respects she has all the Bashaw
characteristics.
Glen Cove is a black gelding, sired by Smith Burr
out Of Trustee mare. He is very handsome horse
stylish in appearance, light in FORM with,very good
trotting action, but very bad breaker.
Peppers Ghost, an old white cripple, with all his
legs booted and capped was without a pedigree so
Iar as we could ascertain in relation to him. No
doubt he has been ratter in his time but that was
been forgotten but probably that he is so hOary
with age as to be nearly ghOstlike OF the equine

generally do with every gray horse Of commendable
form and action.
