Stake, for three year-olds, mile heats, with
twenty-five entries, only four, however, to
start, to-wit., Jack Frost, Jack of Trumps,
Moselle and Nellie Grim. Jack Frost was
the favorite, Moselle second choice, Nellie
Grim third and Jack of Trumps last choice.
FIRST HEAT.-Nelly Grim led at the
start, but before reaching the quarter, Jack
of Trumps went for everything in sight, and
captured the entire deck, making high, low,
lack and the game on the first hand. Four
points thus won marked him at the three
quarter pole. Unfortunately for him, how
ever, there was another deal Just at this
point, and Nelly Grim drew the ace, king.
queen and the lead, and she had no trouble
in capturing that Jack OF Trumps at the
first pass. Jack of Trumps was very much
demoralized and Nellie Grim with all the
tricks in hand was an easy winner of the
game so far, and Jack Frost who was ex-
pectei to play lone hand from the begin
ming, had not marked single point. Time
1:4S.
Notwithstanding the result of the above
heat, the friends Of Jack Frost were still
confident that he would be able to come out
first in this four-handed game.
SECOND HEAT-Jack Froat took the lead
but before reaching the first quarter Nelly
Grim rushed up like streak of creased
lightning, making it too wrm for the Frost.
He melted, weakened in fact, and Nelly had
the track and the lead. She remained in
in front to the home stretch, when Frost
having recovered from the shock, was him
self again, and nobly commended for the
prize. Neck and neck they come, and in
that position pass under the string, The heat
being declared dead one. Time 1:46s.
About fifty yards from the distance stand
Jack of Trumps fell, and was consequently
distanced,
Jack Frost was sill the fayorite.
THIRD HEAT.-Nelly Grim led off
handsomely and was tackled betimes by
Moselle before reaching the stretch, but
managed to keepa nose in front. Jack
Frost then came up and endeavored to get
to the front, but Nelly pressed forward and
won the heat. Time, 1:45a, which was the
fastest third heat ever made over the Nash
vile course.
SECOND RACE.
The second race was also mile heats;
in which Qusrtermaster, Planchette and
Florine were the contestants. In the pool
selling, Plsnchette had the call, but Quar-
termaster had equally as many hackers.
FIRST HEAT.-Florine showed herself in
front at the first turn, but upon reaching
the quarter pole, Q9artermaster wss ahead,
and the favorite rather bad third. At the
half mile, positions were about the same.
Reaching the three-quarter pole, Quarter
master and Florine were abreast, and Plan
Ghetto still trailing in the rear, but to all ap-
pearances, "Going for them" Turning into
the home stretch, Planchette made q won
derful dash and landed in front, and came
home winner of the neat in las. This was
the best heat ever made on the course,
weights up. The same time was once made
by Quartermaster in handicap race.
SECOND HEAT-Florine led for a quar-
ter, when Quartermaster came up and ran
side by side with her to the three-quarter
pole. Passing this point into the home
stretch, Planchette again moved up, and
went for Quartermaster. A more exciting
struggle was never Witnessed. There was
not the eighth of an inch difference in favor
of either for upwards of a hundred yards,
but just before reaching the stand Plan
Ghetto managed to get her nose ahead, and
was declared the winner of the heat.
Time 1:45a.
