This was the only race that Fashion had lost. 

 She had been coughing for several days previous, 

 and though she was the favorite before the start, 

 it was the general remark before half a mile had 

 been run that " Fashion has lost her action ! " 

 Still, she won the second heat and placed herself 

 second in the fourth. 



Fashion could not start at Trenton, it not 

 being her "turn." Mariner and Clarion carried 

 off the purses for three and two mile heats ; no 

 four-mile purse was given. She made her first 

 appearance in the fall at the Union Course, 

 where she was obliged to go for the two-mile 

 purse or nothing, as Clarion won the four-mile 

 and Mariner the three-mile purse. 



New York, Union Course, Thursday, October 7. 

 Purse $200 ; free for all ages ; New York weights.
