This was a great race on the part of Bertrand, and will be memor- 

 able for all time to come. The following facts, without extended com" 

 ment, will speak for themselves, and show how Bertrand, single-handed, 

 unaided and alone, contended against the field. The 1st heat was won 

 by Fairfield, Kate dropping just within the distance. Kate went for 

 the second heat, which she won, Fairfield this time just dropping within 

 the distance. The 3d heat, Creeping Kate made play again, and, hav- 

 ing plenty of foot, was with difficulty locked by Bertrand; after a severe 

 struggle, however, he beat her out in the fine time of 5 m. 48^; Fair- 

 field ^ again, as before, just dropping within the distance. The 4th 

 heat was won by Fairfield, after having rested the two previous heats, 

 though not without being closely pressed by Bertrand, who gallantly 

 contended to the end. '
