Hollywood and Frogtown the VIM
ners. f &

manifested in turf sport. The crowd yes
terday was equally as large as on any pre-
vious day of the week. The ladies, as on
former occasions, were out in full force,
and as lockers on, were as enthusiastic as
any other portion of the large crowd pres
ent, and just as emphatic in their opinions
of the result. 1t is intimated too that not a
few of them are veryEgood guessers, and on
each successive day have been about as
near naming the winners Gas any other
man."
The weather during the entire week has
been very favorable, and the track yester-
day was in tip-top condition.
The fourth day programme opened with
mile heats, best three in FIVE, with Holly
wood, Quartermaster and Double Out as
the contending trio. There was very little
difference in the opinions of gentlemen sup
posed to be fully posted on the general re-
suit, as between Hollywood and Quarter
master. Sometimes the former " ould COM
mand few dollars more, and then again
the latter, and from first to last, it appeared
to be pretty even thing between the two,
and consequently both might with propriety
here be chronicled as faVorites, with Double
Out bad third choice.
FIRST HEAT.-At the start, Hollywood
apparently had the bulge, but no advantage
TO hurt, for if Quartermaster did not get
off quite as well as his rival, he was fully
up at the quarter, where the two appeared
at dead lock, Doubleout a length and
half behind. At the half mile, Quarter
master was in the lead, but at the three
quarter, the two were again abreast. Now
they swing round the turn into the home
stretch, with Hollywood neck in advance.
Nearer and nearer they approach, but the
contest is so close that no one in the now
excited crowd could name the winner.
The struggle continued to within few feet
of the string, when Hollywood showed
nose in front, and thus passed under.
Time, 1:464.
After this heat, there was no change in
the pools, and the sales were about even.
SECOND HEAT.-Hollywood got bet
ter start in this than Ia the first, and for
short distance Quartermaster was third in
position. Upon reaching the quarter, how
ever, Quartermsster had passed Doubleout
and was within hailing distance of the fore
most. Several times he would come up on
the tanks Of Buford's crack animal but she
would shake him off. Down the home
stretch there was another exciting struggle
but HOLLYWOOD continued the leader to the
stand. Time 1:454.
Now Hollywood became great fsvorite,
selling at 500 to $50 on the field, and was
purchased literally at those figures by the
shedgers."
Third heat-Quartermaster this time
had good lead, with Doubleout second,
and the favorite last. But Hollywood did
not long remain behind, for at the quarter
she planted herself along side Of Q. NJ,
and at lock the two ran together to the
half mile pole. After this was passed,
Doubleout made an unexpected and hand
some brush, and, planted her head even
with the others. They passed the three
quarter mile in a bunch, when Hollywood
stretched out neck in advap &c. A simi-
lar contest TO those recorded IN the other
heats now occurred, but Hollywood proved
to be game to the last, and came home
winner in 1:46.
This was certainly the best race of this
kind ever run over our course, and we
doubt if such time was ever made in three
successive heats in the country.
SECOND RACE.
The second race was dash of mile
and half, with Graham McNairy, Euchre,
Frogtown and Flush IS the contestants. Ia
the pool selling, Euchre and Frogtown were
about even, Flush one half the price of
either of the above named, and Graham
being decidedly slick, selling at So and IS
in $3.50 pool. Euchre led at the start,
Frogtown second. The half mile was
reached without change in position. Frog
town now commenced crowding up, and at
the three-quarter pole, the two were at
lock. Side by side they ran for another
quarter, when Frogtown got the advantage
by neck, which he maintained to the
stretch, when Euchre under the lash at
tempted to 90 to the front, but Frogtown
also increased his speed, and passed under
the string nearly length in advance.
Time. 2:4Ss.
