We have noticed the fact of her not having been trained in 

 the SjDring of her 3 yr. old year ; last Spring, too, nnfortunately, 

 after her race at Camden, she went amiss, and was prudently 

 turned out until the Fall, when she came out again, and won not 

 only at two and at three-mile heats, but at four. Her last race is 

 one of the best, at four-mile heats, ever run in the United 

 States. In the only race she ever lost — it will be seen that 

 she was beaten by Tyler after winning the 2d heat ; Tyler won 

 the 3d and ith heats, in the last of which she was 2d, having 

 beaten Ti-enton — who won the 1st heat — and Telemachus. From 

 the fact of being turned out after this race, and of her having 

 since twice beaten John Blount, who easily defeated Tyler in a 

 match for $5,000, it is fair to conclude that on the occasion al- 

 luded to she was out of condition. The brilliant reputation she 

 acquired by her last great performance, added to the confident 

 impression every where entertained of her surpassing speed and 

 extraordinary powers of endurance, are such, however, as to 

 render quite gratuitous any explanation as to the cause of her 

 having once been defeated. 



As Fashion's friends have accepted the match ofiered by 

 Boston, it is to be hoped that each will come to the post in con- 

 dition to run for a man's life. Fashion will be trained as usual 

 by Mr. Laird, and Boston by Arthur Taylor ; Joe, no doubt, 

 will throw his leg across the jDig skin on the mare, while Gil. 

 Patrick, who has more strength, though not more science or 

 coolness than Craig, will probably be put up again on Boston.
