 horses started; Bannafyne's Stoekwood 

 and Electric, Hitchcock's Quits, Wither's

Jack Frost won the three last heats and 

 race. Time, 1:46*. 1:49, 1:53£. 



The Monmouth Park Association closed 

 the extra summer meeting on August 29. 

 The first race was for a purse, of $500, for 

 all ages, mile heats, winners excluded; §400 

 to second horse. Six horses started. The 

 first heat was won by Audubon, Century 

 second, Donahue's Julius colt third, Mar- 

 mion, Erastus Corning, and Mollie Darling 

 coming in in the order named. Time, 1 ;46A. 

 The second heat was won by Julius colt, 

 Audubon second, Marmion 'third. Time, 

 1:49*. The third and deciding heat was 

 ■won" by the Julius colt by a length, beating 

 Audubon. Time, 1:50$. 



The Consolatiuo Purse, for horses beaten 

 at this meeting, winners excluded, for a 

 purse of $350, one mile and a half, had six 

 starters: Stoekwood, Limestone, Mary Con- 

 stant, Wizard, Audubon, and Coffee's b. f. 

 Carver. The race after three-quarters of a 

 mile was confined to Stoekwood and b. f. Car- 

 ver, and Ihe finish up the homestretch, was 

 one of the most exciting ever witnessed. So 

 Closely were the horses lapped as they went 

 under the string that the judges decided it a 

 dead heat. Time, 2;43j-. Mary Constant 

 being third, a head in front of Limestone, and 

 Audubon and Wizard beaten off. In the. 

 deciding heat a fine and obstinately con- 

 tested race from start to finish was won by 

 Carver by a length and a half in 3:42$. 



The steeple chase for a purse of $500, of 

 which the winner took §400, had four run- 

 ners: Electric, Vesuvius, Blind Tom, and 

 Tabitha. Electric led the field twice around 

 the- course, with Vesuvius and Tibitha 

 within striking distance; all the horses jump- 

 ing in splendid style. On the third circuit 

 Tibitha rushed to the front, and speedily 

 opened such a wide gap that her winning 

 seemed almost a cenainty, but making a 

 mistake in the course she lost a great deal 

 of ground, and let in Vesuvius and Electric, 

 the pair making a most exciting contest 

 home. Midgely on Vesuvius won a splen- 

 did race by a length and a half from Elec- 

 tric; Blind TomT who broke down in the 

 race, being third, beaten fully fifty yards. 

 Time, 5:23. 



—The Prospect Park Fair Ground Asso- 

 ciation will holu three trotting and one run- 

 ning meetings this fall. The running meet- 

 ing is to take place on the 5th, Oth, and lOlli 

 of September, and although these dates con- 

 flct with the Buffalo meeting, there are so 

 many horses in training in this vicinity that 

 the sport at Prospect will not be interfered 

 with by lack of material. 



— U Journal da Trot tells us, that last 

 month the officers of the 8th and 3d Hus- 

 sars engaged in a a peculiar hunt. Ahorse 

 was taken, horns were tied to his head, and 

 after being allowed a certain period of grace, 

 twenty-four of the officers followed the 

 horse pell mell. Possibly it was pleasant 

 sport for the military riders, but no joke for 

 the affrighted animal. It may be considered 

 as a French mod fication of the paper chase.
