At DEXTER PARK, yEsTzRDAY AFTERNOON,
there WAS q very enjoyable private raco Boz
tween Mr.. Tom Foloy's black colt Tod Cowlos
and bright sorrdl colt belonging to wealthy
banker, residing on Michigan avenue. There
we're onlya few gentlemen present, md thoso
went out for tho purpose Of sending their own
roadeters around tho track few timeB. hlr.

the colts for one heat. Aftor two inetroetual
Btarta the three wero sent away for tho frat
hcat Tho bankers nag broke at the very COM
moncemont nas mont, and being young and inoxperi-
wore fur nhoad. The race between Tod and
Porine down tho back stretch and around tho
corner whs Il yory pretty ono, the horses being
;nr neck ., aud ae neck nsst al the poa;ne time and 60
strotch, aud consequently Foley's property
won oasily 6y over longth in 2:424. Tho tirno
aatonished Tom moro than anybody else, as ho
suit Of tho first boat, however, proved that the
animal is ono Of tho best aud most promising Of
our local trottors. He made tho second hoat In
2:a31, md again defeated tho banker's horse
brcaks. but still managed to get around in 2:48.
Tho third hont was won by Tod BY several
lengths in 24259%. which Ia remarkably good time
for tho third mile for young and green horse.
in the fall, and ho WAS removed to his stall. He
Is ono Of tho gqu1reat, most reliable, and Eithal
most stylish, horse at the Park to-day, and will
undoubtedly hold his own among 2:55 trotsers il
nothing happens to him. The bankers horse Ia
q good ono, but no needs more practice and
training.
AN IMPROVEMENT
in tho arrangements on the track is the removal
OF the old Judges stand from between tho run
ming and trottlng tracks, which was done yestor-
dny afternoon by Mr.. Joseph Cairn Simpson,
WHO ia milking preparations for tue coming
mooting in thoroughly and maater1y way. Tho
stand has been placed ontsile Of the outer track
giyon over to pool selling md buying. This is
the proper place for tho auctlonoors and their
patrons. It is close enough to the track, and at
the same time sufficiently far away from whero
the main body Of the spectators will sit to save
it from the excavations Of those people who ad-
miro hoEso-racing, but never bet on it. The
Wow Of tho track from all the stands is now on
titoiy unobattucted.
DExrER's DESTINED RIVAL.
Tho Hopkinsyille (Ky.) Conservative, of tho

lively unknown horao named Dixie which has
sprung up rather suddenly in that State, and
which is looked upon ns the "coming animal"
