Miscellaneous.

All things considered, Gabriel, 5 years, made
the most meritorious mile-heats race on record,
at St. Louis, Monday, the 18th. His COM
petitors were Gen. Pike, King Nero, Dabinah,
Boulevard and Tidal Wave, Gabriel winning in
two straight heats. Gabriel run with lis
pounds up, and made the heats in 1:42A and
1:41x respectively. The fastest mile heats
race on record, won in straight heats, is that
of Kad, years old, with 80 pounds up, at
Hartford, Sept. Q, 1875: lax 1:414. While
Gabriel's performance is not equal to Kadi's
in point of time, since, being only years old
as against 6years old for Kadi, he carried lis
pounds 10 the wire against 90 pounds for
Kadi, within halfsecond of Kadi's time, the
extra weight carried by Gabriel is more than
equal to the difference in time.
