SECOND DAY.

- Six horses started for this race, Barbiere took the lead, followed by Vampire, but they soon changed places, Harrybogine coming up towards Barbiere, followed by Slipfer, and Vampire falling in the rear, — the first heat was very well contested by BarMere and Harrybogine, the former winning by a couple of lengths. - The second heat, which excited the greatest interest, lay entirely between Barbiere and Harrybogine, the two horses keeping equally together, occasionally slightly changing^ places, until rounding the upper end of the course, when Harrybogine took the lead Bnd looked like a winner ; at fifty lengths from the- winning post Harrybogine was a length and.a-half a* head, Barbiere, who was beautifully ndden by Mr. Duppa,' gradually crept up and they made a dead heat of it. The interest excited by the former heat was- fully sustained in the third, which' was quitef as well contested, Harrybogine at the upper end of the course again obtaining the lead, and Barbiere, whose rider appeared very much distressed, gradually gaining upon Harrybogine, and coming in firsts After the race was over the owner 'of Harrybogine objected that the rider of' Barbiere had struck his horse on the head'while running, which the latter attempted to justify, by alleging that the rider of Harrybogine had tried to jostle him. ; The Judge, after patiently hearing the evidence, admitted the objection, and decided ift/av.Our of Harrybogine,; and Barbiere was .disqualified for the race. , Harrybogine then . walked over' the, course. .. ,<>•,{•> t , •- v
