pace — a splendid race home ensued between Pilot and Clara, the for- 

 mer winninir it by a length ; LaFayette distanced. 



On pulling up, Pilot was found to be so lame, as to make it necessary 

 immediately to draw hira. This much regretted occurrence, together 

 with the distancing of LaFayette, terminated the contest. Clara Fisher, 

 according to rule, walked over the course, and was declared the win- 

 ner. 



^^" Notwithstanding Clara Fisher did not win a heat in this race, 

 when she had an opponent, her friends in South Carolina were willing, 

 and, therefore, immediately proposed to back her against any horse, 4
