very promising young mare Countess,
owned by w. w. Bair, of Chester Park,

A FINE, FAST FILLY.-Fashion's running
so far this year proves her to be filly of
more than ordinary merit, for although she
was beaten by Wallenstein for the New
market Handicap she has since won the
Newmarket International Handicap, and
was second to Chippendale for the great
Metropolitan. Perhaps the heavy rain
storm in which the Newmarket Handicap
was run affected her running. Certainly
Walensteih had no chance with her for the
International, which penalised her five
ounds for the Metropolitan. for which,
with SO pounds, she was only beaten q
length by Chippendale, the winner of the
last Cesarewitch, while for the Chester Cup
she carried y pounds penalty, and
seemed to have been an easy win
