i've years old, ana Mr. Hincnman's chestnut colt
Boaster, by imported Eclipse, dam Vanity, four
years old. for $1,000, mile heats The race wss won
BY Aetairie In two hcats
This race was made about week since, at the
time Of the sale Of Mr.. Eckersons horses and from
the time Of the making OF the match until yesterday
afternoon, for some reason or other, Boaster haa
tue call In the betting On Saturday night ~ John
sons pool room, Boaster was the favorise; on the
cars on the way the race course Boaster stll had
the CALL although she betting became even before
reaching Paterson. and not until Mr.. somerindyke
began selling on the course did Metairie come to be
the favorite The latter increased in price gradually
a. the sales progressed until ct the time the horses
were saddled he sold for about 500 to 500. The
start for the race Was most unfortunate one, the
trainer OF Boaster having him by the head leading
MN aown the track when the drum tapped for
nos turn him about until Metairie was nifty yards
away. The horse was then started but his chances
for the heat were entirely gone and 1t the gen.
eral belief that the race was over every person
supposed that B0aster would be distanced. He was
ct least seventy yards behind when Metaire passed

and ne shut up the daylight rapidly, and,
srsscn until wen s inside 1he distance ssud Mss
only beaten oy half q dozen lengths Metairie was
taken IN hand when 1t was discovered that he cou Id
not distance Boaster The forcing Of Boaster
throughout the mile had "coOked his bacon" a.
though some OF his most sanguine hackers were
willing to lay twenty-five against one hundred that
he would yet win the race. In the second heat
Boaster had the best Of the send-o and his jockey,
In his endeavor 10 take the pole, ran against Me-
tairie on the turn This collision, however, was
slight and did not throw either Of the horses out OF
their stride. and they ran to the quarter pole with
Metairie on the lead, with Boaster at his hanks.
Gong down the backstretch Boaster 0utpaced Me-
tarie and showed ip front ct the half mile pole and
on the lower turn was nearly two iengths in front.
The packers OF B0aster gave vent 70 their feelings
Dy rousing shouts for moment or two;
but the noise grew FAINT ~ the horses
approached the three-quarter pole. Here B0aster
began to show signals OF distress, and Metaire was
closing on him at every stride. Az they swung into
the hOmestretcn there was little difference between
them; but aa they got iuto straight work Metairie
came away from Boaster, and running strong passed
under the string winner OF the heat and race by
