BAY FINALS DEFEAT.-A London dis
patch 20 the New York Herald gives the
following account of the defeat of Mr..
Sandford's American horse Bay Final in
the great metropolitan stakes:
The start was very fair and the con-
test was interesting throughout. Bay
Final showed to advantage and ran a
most creditable race for two miles, at
which time he looked dangerous GUS
toner, fighting every inch of the ground
with New Holland the ultimate winner
So earnestly did he battle for the lead
that many thought he might prove the
victor, but his jockey failed to preserve
him as he should have done for the final
rally. and when less than a.quarter Of a
mile from home he tired and fell TO the
rear. New Holland-who was carrying
fourteen pounds less than Bay Final
then went on and won the race, White
bait finishing second ard Freeman, (the
favorite,) third. bay Final passed the
post next to the last. There were seven
starters.
After the race scores of good Judges
boldly expressed tine opinion that long
distances must certainly suit the Ameri-
can horses, and considered that Freak

Unusual performance.
The large stage was crowded with bcauti-
iul rhldgcn attired in al the colors OF the
iainhoW-d,ar angels OF many households
yicing with the cluster OF rare flowers
around them, which they fairly represent
cd. The rendition OF the cantata was adj
mirahIc. 1t was evident that the utmost
care had been exercised in bringing the lit
tie actors up TO their several parts; but this
i not strange for whatever Professor Shop

takes j. indeed we'll done.
1t would not be fair to signalizc any Of
the Young ladies hv mentioning their names
