Four TrOtting Races-Lady WhecAeF
Wins the First, Schutzcn Boy the
Second, Slim Dan the Third and Bully
King the Fourth.
The attendance at Halls Driving Park on the
Coney Island road yesterday afternoon was quite
satisfactory to the proprietor and the sport that
came Off was equally satisfactory to the SPECTATORS
Three trotting contests were announced TO come
Off in the advertising columns OF the HERALD; but
another one was added by an impromptu match
being made, when one horse dstanced the other
the first heat OF the third race.
The first race was for a purse, which had four
starters These were bay mare Lady Wheeler,
driven by James Campbell; black gelding Mate,
driven by Asa Whitson; bay mare Lily, driven by
Mr.. Johnson, and bay gelding Bay George, driven
by Mr.. Carroll. The latter was distanced the first
heat. Mate was great favorite in this race, about
two to one over the field. His hackers were very
cunning or rs east they supposed they were, IN
putting driver behind Mate that would be sure TO
be beaten the first heat that the betting would ga
the other way. Mate badly beaten the first heat,
according to advisement; but when Asa Whtson goq
IN the suky and the odds increased IN favor OF the
black, to the great astonshment OF the Bulls Head
tinanciers Lady Wheeler won the second heat.
Some pumping in the shape OF hedging was In
dulged in, but not enough to save tho wreck. Many
