TROTTING MATCH FOR ~sTALLIONS-
This. next to the cotton awards, was the
event of the day and week. 1t was hrst
! suggested on Friday morning, and the en-
ergeIic Superintendent Of Il Department
4 forthe day-Col. Fizer-SOonr aiseda pursc
Of S5OOto offer on the OCCASION. The terms
were for stations OF all ages, mile heats to
harness, best three in hVe-SlJO TO the
second horse.
The following were the entries:
7. p. Roach ent. Morrissey.
Mat. Calvin cnt. Pilot Temple.
J. Z. Jones ent. Frank.
The track, while in much better condi-
ton than on any previous day, was far
from being in a perfect condition Tor "A
trotting match between two such horses
as Pilot Temple and MOrrissey. 1t was
better, however, than could rave been eN-
pected under the circumstances, and no
fault can be found with it by any reason
able man. The attendance on the
stands, while not quite so large
/ rs on Friday or Wednesday, was still
very large. Pilot Temple was the favorite
at odds on the
FIRST HEAT.
At h toss Pilot Temple got the pole,
/ Frank next and Morrissey outside. The
start was a very pretty one, Pilot Temple
leading by a length or so. At the turn he
! led by three lengths, which he kept tothe
I Quarter, widening the gap at.the half. On
/ the back stretch, before reaching the turn,
he broke and MOrrissey, keeping steadily
at it. lapped him, ard fora squirt il seemed
as if he would take the lead. At the turn,
1 however. Temple came down to his work
and a rafting race down the homes stretch
was the result, creating intense enthu-
siasm and excitement among the specta-
tors. Amid cheers and waving Of hand
kerchiefs Temple crossed thesstring lead
ing Morrissey by half a length, Frank
closing in the home stretch and making a
good third. Time, 1861.
SECOND HEAT.
Morrisssv stock raised considerably on
/ this result. and bets on the race were even
between Temple and MOrrissey, Frank
being left ont of the question. At the
start Frank lead by half a length, Temple
being second. Temple soon Tapped and
passed him, as did Me rrissey, and To the

Morrissey was quite lively. Down the
back stretch the contest was between
Morrissey and Temple, Frank maintain
ing a very respectful distance in the rear.
Ali OF the horses broke up occasionally,
but soon came down TO their work again.
At the t~hree-quarters MOrrisSey Tapped
Temple. and before the home turn was
reached pulled ahead Of him amid the
cheers of the multitude. Down the home
stretch Morrissey led Temple by half a
length the whole way, coming under the
stringthat way in 2:32%, Frank making a
good third.
THIRD HEAT.
Odds were now offered on MOrrissey-
not 50 much on the result OF the race, but
because the knowing ones bad become
convinced that the whole matter was
fixed up and we were to have merely a
"~hippodrome.' When q driUer ia a trOt
looks behind him TO see hOwJdr he Is ahead,
IL is u mighty bad sign for those trhO are
] banking on his horse. The start was good,
and the horses got well of together, Pilot
shooting ahead at the turn and keeping a
] couple of lengths between him and Nor
rissev to the quarter. Here both ofthem
broke, Frank keeping the even tenor of
/ his way a hundred yards or so behind.
They were soon hauled down to their
work, however, and about the half Nor

ing his distance in the rear. At the turn
/ on the home stretch Temple forged ahead
a little, and about midway down the home
stretch Morrissey broke badly, thus Civ
ing Temple a chance 10 come up. The
consequence was a lead heat, both cross
ing the line so closely together that the
Judges refused to decide. The time made
was 1925. Frank coming III about ten
lengths behind.
FOURTH HEAT
The excitement by his time had become
intense, and bets of all kinds were made
by the outsiders. The prudent ones who
I knew a thing or two, and smelt a mice,
began TO hedge and cover themselves.
Bets were freely offered ten to seven on
MorriSsev. with few takers. Every heat
seemed to improve him, while the others
began TO look a little blown. The crowd
meanwhile were veryimPatient for q final
decision. and the ladies were betting
gloves and perfumery with a recklessness
altogether unsurpassed in the annals of
the Memphis turf. 4 splendid start WIS
made, n three horses getting OFF at the
tap almost in "A line. AT the u Norris
sew quietly took the lead, Temple break
ing up aud allowing even Frank to pass
him. At the quarter Temple came down
to hts work, and soon put Frank in his

lance between him and MOrrissey, who
now had things all his own way. At the
turn there looked like a prospect of a
brush down the hOmestretch, but Norris
sey kept his vantage, coming in six
lengths ahead Of Temple-time 2:29.
Fine watches on the track said 2:2olz,
but the above was the rnling Of the
judges.l
The result of the last heat created in
tense excitement, and large sums of
money were staked on the result. many
believing that Pilot Temple would still
yin1icate his great name. They were
sadly disappointed, for this heat was but
a REPETITION or the former One--the time
excepted. Morrissey won the heat and
race in 2:S3L, Temple being second and
Frank third. The announcement of the
result, which was made Just at dark, was
received with the widest cheers, and
seemed to give general satisfaction.
