The third race was the great race OF
the day and the meeting. Gallifet and
Alexandria, composing the Melbourne
stable entry, sold the big favorites. and
lots of good Kentucky shekels went on
odds OF to 5. The Cnevalier was next
in favor, at to /, the odds against the
Others being abont II to l. White 6 to 1,
Macbeth y to 1, Zeb Ward 10 to l. Long
Roll, the sharper entry, was scratched
hall an hour before the race. G8llifet
and Alexandria were the first to snow
on the track, and they were greeted
with cheers as they swung by the stand
IN half-mile spin together. The
| Ohevalier, q magnificent looking black
colt, received an ovation as he
loped past the stand, indicating what
was known to be a fact, that
| his hackers were numerous and en-
thusiastic. White received some recog
milton, but Macbeth comparatively
little. Zab Ward and Autocrat were
quietly admired by these who are foud
OF toying with short ones. After one
false start Mr.. Caldwell gos them Off up
IN the chute in great style, and the fun
began. Chevalier led away with Auto
crat and Gallifet close up. White third
and the Others not far off. Into the

Hotel stakes at Memphis, and Other
leading Southern events, was playing an
admirably waiting game, which he kept
up, and which, if Mccarthy. on Ga liiet,
had better adhered to, might have led
