| his back. AS a consequence OF this overweight
Lobelia was eaeiy beaten after very prettily run
| race, In which accident occurred.
Only four OF the thirteen entries for the second
race came to the post. These were Mr.. O'Donnell's
chestnut colt General Duke. Mr.. Livingstons chest
| nut horse General Yorke, r. w. Waldens bay mare
| Sleety and Mr. sanford's gray colt Hotspur.
| After very close contest between General Duke
and General Yorke, the resulted in favor of the
former who was the favorite against the field before
the start. The race was pretty swift one being
| run IN 3:40
Six entries were made for the Sequel Stakes but
| only two came to the post-Pompey Payne and ves-
| pucius-each with seven pound penalty on his
back, making the carrying weight III pounds. This
was apparently very close contest to the eyes OF
| the uninitiated; but those who had experience in
such matters saw that 1t was one OF the most one
| sided affairs imaginable, Vespucius being mere
| plaything for the redoubtabe Pompey Payne.
| Three OF the nine two year olds started for the
| Sweepsakes-Mr. Sanford's bay fly Stamps, Nc
| Connel & Thompson's brown fIy Lady Petry, and
| Mr. Morris gray flly by imported Eclipse dam
Fidelity. Lady Petry the favorite against the
field; but the race was won by Stamps after making
dead heat with Lady Petry on the first dash. The
race was very beautiful one and finely contested,
both dashes being run In the same time-1:l9L.
There was great deal OF betting the result OF the
| race after the dead heat had been made, Stamps
might have won the dash on the first attempt had
| her JOCKEY been more wary and not have suffered
| stamps TO have stolen march on him and make
| dead heat OF it.
All the entries, six in number for the Consolation
| premium came to the post, with an allowance Of
meeting. The starters were r. W. Waldens chest
nut colt by Uncle Vic, Mr.. sanford's bay horse Lam
caster, d. McDanel's bay horse julius and his bay
mare Sarah b., Mcconnell x ThompsOns bay mare
Lobeia and Mr.. O'Donnes chestnut cold General
Duke. Lancaster was the favorite at odds against
by the Uncle Vic colt The last mile OF this race was
peculiarly interesting from the fact OF Its beng so
well contested by the Uncle Vic colt, Lancaster and
julius, the others being beaten on before mile had
been run.
We have no space for further comments and will
proceed to give the details OF the running, COM
