qualities OF their respective animals, Messrs. II.
Middleton, c. Hopper and A T. Waiting made

Branch course yesterday, mile heats, best three
In nve, to harness. The entries were booked as
Hopper enters 5. =. Honest John; 4. T. Whiting
| enters b. Z. Charley Hayes. The fact that the
horses had trotted together before, were known
70 be fast, and were about evenly matched
caused considerable interest among those who
Ike such sport, aud succeeded In securing .
large attendancs on the ground.
,,d Tas gaih en IaGiuied many weIl,known
roads and excessive heat the evening would
have been pleasantly passed.
that hour the stand 10 the interior Was crowded
with spectators, and the centre OF the ring about
the JUICES stand was crowded with vehicles,
most Of them containing ladies. Scattered here
and there about the pfemises were groups Of
men eagerly discussing the merits OF the horses
and hacking their opinion with cash, the odds
utink lWO 70 que On nays ulAcOuuL WhlCn was
duly appreciated by the hackers Of the other
horses and promptly met,
ORrTISd READY.
About 4330 the owners held u short cOnsulta-
tiOn, AMI agreed upon the following gentlemen
as judges: David BrUughtnn, Dorsey ClARett,
and Robert Strong A toss was then made for
positions. Hayes, driven by Moses, won the pole;
Rambler, driven by Allen Dorsey, the second,
aud John, handled by his owner, the outside.
The men were at once called to the atAnd, the
positions assigned, aud up the track they went
Tor the nrst score. Win an ~ luck which was
destined 10 follow him Rambler, while coming
down tho stretch, threw 4 shoe, and there being
no start, he was allowed time 10 have another
tackled on.
When the damage hal been repaired q second
attempt was made, but with far worse results, |
for q, Their came down Rambler Oyerreached, ian
old trick OF his struck his quarter aud tore fully
half an inch on lnnlcting an ugly and painful |
wound, aud causing his Withdrawal from the |
race, an event much regretted by all present. !

The other two were promptly called, and after |
one or two false starts the word 20 was given, |
with Hayes half a length ahead, tue positions
being about the same when the quarter pole was |
passed and with hardly q noticeable change IN |
To the half mile, both horses trottlnE squarelJ |
and receiving the applause OF the spectators
BEFORE the thfee-quarter pole was reached John |
