258 The American Tborougbhred 



Third heat. John Cheatham, colored boy, 

 now took the place of John Farrell on Blount, 

 Farrell being two pounds over weight. For the 

 first two miles this heat was but a repetition of 

 the last. Within the draw-gates on the second 

 mile Blount suddenly fell off, giving up the con- 

 test. Fashion won the heat and race at her ease 

 by thirty yards. Immense sums of money were 

 lost on Blount. You may rely upon it, Virginia 

 "fell heavy." 



We now come to one of the most remarkable 

 performances ever made up to that time by a 

 four-year-old filly: — 



Camden, New Jersey, Thursday, October 28. 

 Jockey Club Purse, $800; free for all ages; 

 carrying New York weights; four-mile heats.
