7. C. and N. Green's ch. c. by imp. Trustee, dam by Mucklejobn. 



The Sweepstakes for two year olds, mile heats, did not receive a single 

 nomination, while for the Sweepstakes for three year olds, mile heats, 

 there were but two colts named : 



1. C and N. Green's ch. c. by imp. Trustee, dam by Mucklejohn. 



2. M. R. Singleton's ch. c. Guardian, by Trustee. 



As it is one of the conditions of the above stakes, that the subscribers 

 have a right to declare of! before the first of November, $50 forfeit, the 

 owners of Xo. 2 ar.d No. 4 in the first stakes, availed themselves of this 

 privilege, and struck out of the Race ch. c. by Boston, and ch. f. by Ora- 

 tor, thus reducing the number to five, of which but three reached the 

 starting ]ioint — Air. Harrison's filly, Mr. Singleton's Guardian, and Mr. 

 Green's Stockton. 



The recent " Great Race " of four mile heats, decided in four heats over 

 the Long Island Course, between Tally-Ho, Bos;.ona, and Free Trade, in 

 which the former won in excellent style, and in tlie best time on record, 

 (all tilings being considered) of any race ever run in America, has cre-

 throughout our country. It will do much, perhaps, towards reviving the 

 spirit of racing in New York, and stimulating trainers, to try and make

 is not only unsurpassed on the American Turf, up to the present time, 

 when compared with the many other great events of four mile heats that 

 preceded it in the same region, on the Union Course, Long Island, 

 which we have had the gratification of witnessing as they came off, 

 namely : 



The great match between Eclipse and Henry, decided in three heats, 

 in Y m. 37 sec. ; 7. m. 49 sec. ; 8 m. 24 sec! 



Fashion and Boston, in two heats, run in 7 ra. 32-^ sec. ; 7 ra. 45 sec. 



John Bascombe and Post Boy, the former winning in good time. 



Peytona and Fashion, in two heats, run in 7 m. 39f sec. ; 7 m. 45^ 

 sec. 



Also, the race of four mile heats for a purse which took place in the 

 Fall of 1847, between Mr. Hare's b. g. Passenger and Fashion, which, 

 after a very interesting contest, was won by the former. 



These were all very fine Races, won in capital time, and creating the 

 deepest interest ; yet "the Great Race," to which we are now- alluding, is 

 not only, par excellence, " the Great Race'''' of our times, but it is in an 

 especial manner exceedingly interesting to us in Charleston, as all the 

 contending nags that distinguished themselves on that occasion had been
