 The horses were: L.Stanford's b. c. Fred. Crocker, by Electioneer, 

 dam by Malenche, by St. Clair — black and black ; br. f. Sweetheart, 

 by Sultan, dam Minnehaha — red and black. Sweetheart had the 

 pole and sold favorite, $160 to $80. Sweetheart led all the way 

 round, but broke at the tap of the bell, and made four other breaks 

 before the quarter pole was reached, and gained each time. The 

 filly kept the colt a length behind to the three-quarter pole, and then 

 opened a gap of seventy-five yards, held up to let the colt save dis- 

 tance, and won the heat by three lengths in 2:31 2. The half mile was 

 made in 1:14. 



In the next heat Crocker led at the start, and kept it with his 

 rival one and two lengths behind until the first upper turn was 

 reached, when Sweetheart collared him and went by his side to the 

 head of the oval, when she broke again. At the three-quarter pole 

 Sweetheart passed Crocker and came in easily three lengths ahead, 

 winning heat and race. Time, 2:321
