George Cadwallader has at Lexington a
chestnut colt by Vandal, out Of Blondin, by
Commodore, bred by Gen. Harding at Belle
Meade, that is spoken Of very highly.
Turner y Murphy have entered a Brown
Dick colt for the jersey Derby, at Long

A. }. McKimmOn has forwarded the fol-
lowing entries to Lexington, Ky, for the

and two fllies-one of the fllies out of
Maggie Hunter and the other out of Canary
Bird. The colts are out of imported In
vercauld, imported Inverness, Mildred,
imported Britannia, Fourth, Banner, and
imported Cairngorm. As a lot they are
extremely promising. The best Of the
Australians IS probably a fall brother to
HeimbOld. We take the following from
the Ner York World of the l4th:
s'The old style OF racing, dasheS and
heats Of four miles, seems likely to return
to popular favor, not only with the public,
but with all the prominent racing aSSOcia-
tions. The change in opinion is no doubt
attributed To the magnificent race made by
FellowCraf, Wanderer, and Katie Pease at
Saratoga, when the Ormer reduced LexIng-
tons great iOur-mile time a quarter OF a
| second, by running the distance in I:l9k.
Taking advantage of public enthusiasm, 1t
IS nor unlikely that the American Jockey
Club will add an additional day to their
fall programme, with a dash OF four miles
| on the card As the attraction, it being
uumOrpG that Mr.. James Gordon Bennett
will. if such a race is made, with three
or more starters, give a purse or
plate to the value II $500 in addition 10
what the American Jockey Club may offer.
| Should the race fall through tpT want of
time necessary to prepare horses for such a
| contest. the American Jockey Club Will
/ next wear add 10 t~heirregular stakes a stake
| for fuur-yeaf-olds aud upwards, a dash of
| tour miles, TO which Will be added a large
| purse. The event will probably be made
/ exclusively for "euiire' horses, the winner
| Of which will have lad 4 trial that cannot
/ but S.anl him good service when the time
| comes 20 retire him for stud purposes.
| Should the f5ur-mile event at jerome Park
fall through, the public will no. be disap-
| pointed, for the Mary land Jockey Club are
| already in the field with the Bowie Stakes,
! fOpr-miie heats, wbiCh closed a few days
ago with PicolO, Bessie Lee, Silent Friend,
Whisper. Feiiowcral,. Catesby, Tom Bow
