IN the ABOVE proportion large number
of pools were sold, and money changed
hands freely.
FIRST HEAT.-The contestants came into
position, with Harding on the inside,
Smith second, Richards third, and Cheat
ham on the outside. They come well up
to the scratch, and good start is effected.
Regent took the lead before the first turn
was reached, closely pressed by Sister of
Charity, the other two but short distance
in the rear. There was no particular change
to the first quarter, which was made %
At the half mile, the contest was lively
between Smith, Harding and Richards,
Cheatham being a rather bad fourth, the
half mile being made i'll 5544. Before reach
ing the last quarter, Regent showed him
self in front, which he maintained through
out, passing under the string, and winning
the heat with comparative ease over his
most formidable competitor, Sister of
Charity. Time 1:554.
Between heats the bookseller was again
visible, closing bids on Regent at 1925 to
$40 on the field.
SECOND HEAT-Richards' entry takes the
lead, with Regent close at her heels. The
first quarter is reached and Richards still
has the position. Upon nearing the half
mile post, Cheatham makes brush, collars
Regent, and the two, side by side, rapidly
advance, passing Richards At this juno
ture it was evident that the heat was mar
rowed down between Regent and Cheat
ham. For the next quarter it was a dead
lock between the two. They go into the
home stretch in the same position, and it
is impossible to tell which has the advan-
tage. As they near the stand, however,
Regent commenced to gain and passed
under the string fully two lengths ahead.
Time 1:532.

SECOND RACE.
This was an Association purse Of $500
| dash of two miles, in which we're entered
| Ballentine's Leinster, Richards LYDIA Girls
som and Cheatham's Morgan Scont- The
| pools sold at 500 on the Scout, $50 on
Leinster and $40 on LYDIA.
LYDIA had the track, Leinster second and
Morgan Scout on the outside. LYDIA, how
ever, had not fairly started before rslin-
gushing her claims to position, which the
| Scout used to his advantage, taking his
| place in front. The fayorite continued IN
| the lead for the first half mile, when the
| others came up and attempted to dispute
| ground, but LYDIA Immediately afterwards
| fell back, and Leinster and Scout kept
company for some distance. The first
mile is reached and the Scout shows HIM
self half length ahead of Leinster. LYDIA
kept a respectable distance behind for the
next half mile when she lets herself loose,
passed Leinster and attempts to got the
start of the Scout. The latter seemed to
have things his own way, and kept his nose
| in front until nearing the stand, when he
increased his gait, and passed under the
string length ahead Time, 1853.
