Up" — to impart, as it were, a moral lesson even from tl'.e sports of tlio 

 Turf, of the uncertainty of all human affairs — she was seen to falter. 



An old proverb declares it to be " an ill wind that does not blow 

 somebody good." Rochefoucalt goes further, and says, " there is some- 

 thing in the misfortunes even of our best friends, that is not altogether 

 displeasing to us." Perhaps, the force of the philosopher's saying, was 

 never more palpably demonstrated than on the present occasion. Miss 

 Accident was, no doubt, very sorry for the accident of her fair rival, but 

 she lost no time, like too many in the world, to profit, if possible, by it« 

 Under whip and spur, she made a dash for the heat ; she had just time 

 (so nearly had Charlotte Paisse terminated the contest) to lock lier stag- 

 gering competitor, and put her nose first past the winning chair. 



Wo regret to state that, on holding up, it was discovered that Char- 

 lotte Russe had sprung a tendon in the left fore leg, and is in conse- 

 quence so much injured, as to be disabled from ever again appearing on 

 the Course. 



The 3d heat was one of much interest and excitement. It was well 

 contested from the jump. The blood of Eclipse and Bertrand endured 

 with its characteristic faithfulness even unto the end ; but it availed 

 not to out-Tramj? the imported stock. Miss Accident, the winner, is a 

 filly by Tramp. We predict for her, harring all accidents, a successful 

 career.
