The Races.

Inc iollowlng horses are now IN training at
the new Trotting Park, under Mr.. Lutte
Lindsey: ''Msrk Twain" "Bellfounder
Chief, " " Susie" and Crabapple-Jack, {"
whoare owned by DR. Mack. "Mark Twain
has record of 2:4614. The rest have never
been tried. "Bellfower, ""Startle, ""Light. 4"
and kitty Ballard" }" are under the manage
ment of the well known horsemen, Messrs
Weleh and Glassford. Bellfower's" rec
ord in pu bile is 2:47, though she is said to
have trotted quarter miles in the excellent
time of 2:32. " Startle's" time in his three
year old race was 3:221Ia, distancing all his
competitors in the first heat, without show
ing anything near his speed. Lookout Tor
him the coming race. The others, " Light
and kitty" have never heen tried, though
they show very well. "Black Sal" BELL
founder-Pet," and % Badger Boy owned bv
Chas. Russell, are under the training of Mr..
Lindsey, and are also well qualified to enter
first class company. SAL has record on a
half mile track of 2:43- She presents a nice
appearance, though on account of an accident
in the early part of her training this season.
she will not likely be in condition to compete
in the free for all purse, on Monday next,
much TO the disappointment of her many
friends :" Pet " and " Badger are very
prom ising. Mollie, +" Stonewall.p and
" Henry" owned by Glove, are among
those of promise. The former will undoubt-
edly gain an inheritance. She has never
been tried, although footing around a 2:40
hole, when sufficiently steadied for a contest
will open the horse admirers eyes. "Bell
Brandon two year old filley, dam ''MoI-
lie, shows so well that her owner, Horace,
will match her against any two year old in
the Territory or Oregon, mile heats. for
five hundred dollars, though Vincent thinks
she is only eleven carrats fine. 'Slim Jim"
and " Lady Scantling," owned by Lindsey,
are not TO be sneered at, though in appear
ance they are a good stand off for first class
kangaroo. Capt. Putnum's young Patehen
stallion is last in this stable of horses. but
not by any means least, breaking kindly and
showing horse all over George Ross has a
stable full of fine running horses, composed
of the celebrated mare 4" Trife, - "Tom Ben
ton," and " Oregon Reube,' also Il well
known stopper 80 Selim." These horses look
remarkably well, and we predict well filed
purse for Mr. Ross, at the conclusion of the
tournament. Mr.. Bunkers horse Is a great
favorite- He looks well, and Is said TO be
able TO trot in the 3O's, though only having
a record of 2:5OI4. Next Monday will tell.
Mr.. Coggans is also on the ground with
" Monte Christie" Mystery" " and Put
Smith, Mystery's;" record, 2:49, though
capable of trotting wellnigh $50, at least so
rumored- Mr.. Putnam is also here with
" Black Bird - and :" Buckskin, - ready for a
first class contest. Mr.. Keeney's Calico
Ned, and several other good horses are in
private stables, though IN readiness to be
turned loose during the week The present
racing meeting will undoubtedly out vie any
ever held this side of San Francisco. Good
meals, wines, cigars, &c, are in abundance on
the ground The grove is admirably adapted,
and all who wish are perfectly welcome to
come and camp as long as they desire,
