It is proper to remark, that Charlotte Russe ran the above race under 

 great disadvantages. Her defeat has been ascribed by many of her friends 

 to the bad condition she was in, having taken cold in travelling from Co- 

 lumbia to Augusta, besides having suffered considerably from a recent 

 accident on the railroad. No one that had ever marked her agile and 

 fawn-like action when in health and spirits, so buoyant and graceful in- 

 deed, that — 



" A foot more light, a step more true, 

 Ne'er from the heath-flower dashed the dew ; 

 E'en the slight hare-bell raised its head, 

 Elastic from her airy tread." 



No one, we say, who had ever marked this, her peculiar manner of mo- 

 ving, but must have seen at once she was evidently " off her foot" in the 

 above contest. 



These remarks, however, are not made to disparage, in the slightest 

 degree, her successful competitor, who so well contrived to steal a march 

 upon the knowing ones. "We desire not to pluck one laurel from the 

 bright garland that surrounds his brow. We deem him a colt of the 

 greatest promise, destined most certainly to run a brilliant career, and to 

 reap a glorious harvest. " Honor to whom honor is due ;" but we are 

 equally bound at the same time, to " render unto Cajsar, the things that 

 are Caesars," and to make in behalf of an unfortunate rival, such expla- 

 nations as she may be entitled to. 



Of John Guedron, (brought to the post by the far-famed trainer of the 

 celebrated Bascombe,) it should, also, in fairness, be stated, that he was 

 not by any means " up to the mark," not having been sufficiently long 

 on the ground to be put in order for this race. The time he made after- 

 wards in the Saturday's race, which he won, we think corroborates this 

 opinion.
