m. 46 sec, Rosa Lee dose up, Minor third and Charmer fourth ; the two 

 last evidently waiting on each other. 



In the second heat, Stuart's filly made play, as before, but was soon 

 challenged by Charmer, both showing a fine turn of speed and lasting 

 qualities to the end, the heat having been run in the shortest time on 

 record on our Course, 5 m. 40 sec. As the pace between Charmer and 

 Stuart's filly increased, Rosa Lee and Minor pulled back, so as just to be 

 within their distance. 



On coming up for the third heat, Stuart's filly and Rosa Lee were 

 drawn, and the race left to Charmer and Minor. The issue was never 

 in doubt for a moment. Charmer coming in first with ease. 



We have heard it said that Minor was not himself in his two races 

 this year, and that his style of going was not equal to preceding seasons. 

 But this is a mistake. He certainly did not pick himself up in his first 

 race on Wednesday at the first going oflT, as spiritedly as we have seen 

 him, but on Saturday he ran a gamer race than he ever did in his life. 

 The truth is, he met on this occasion a better animal than he ever en- 

 countered before, and, instead of losing character by defeat, has added 

 to his reputation, by the fact of having been placed in a 3 mile race in 

 three successive heats of 5 m. 46 sec, 5 m. 50 sec, 5 m. 57 sec. — an 

 achievement for any horse to trimnph in ; and as an evidence of the 

 higher estimation in which another of the field was held, namely, Stu- 

 art's filly, immediately after the race, a half interest in her was sold for 

 $1,000.

This race has always been a sporting aff"air with us, affording a close 

 contest. Mr. Patterson's Reube, Col. Hampton's Millwood, Mr. Green's 

 b. g. by Boston, and Sinkler's ch. g. by Wagner, were no sooner named 

 at the post, than some spirited betting commenced. The Louisiana 

 entry had the call, although each of the others were much fancied. 

 Millwood was known to have foot enough to make her very formidable 

 in a single dash of three miles. Green's entry had won the Hutchinson 

 Stakes the day previous in good style, and Sinkler's entry by Wagner, 

 had, on Thursday, distinguished himself by winning the second race of 

 2 mile heats, beating two fast competitors.
