Ohio Horses.

A prominent Eastern journal about
ono year ago, stated that Ohio was to
become, or was already, the leading
racing State of tho West. She has
already taken the place occupied by
Tennessee and Kentucky before the
war, aud is still marching on. The
last racing season in The State stands
in the record better than any previous
one, except at Columbus, where there
was a falling of. The races at
Chillicoiho were, perhaps, the best
ever held in the State and the best
time ever made on the Columbus
track was made during tho past
season by "Bastian," though two
years before "Roxbury," then owned
