coming on of the great four mile match Of this meeting,
between Fashion and Latunah. The attendance was
very limited indeed, although the weather was much
favorable for SPORT and mdsr than either OF the
previous days At the hour appointed for bringing up
the horses, o'clock counted on the club stand
and space beneath between thirty and forty individuals
the dollar stand between sixty and seventy in the
open space in the centre about ten or dozen vehicles Of
different kinds and 100 to la0 PERSONS in the field stand
not a single person. These numbers were somewhat
increased in about half hour afterwards, but prnc
psy by parties who obtained entrance by other means
| than payment. still have often observed
much greater attendance at trottng matches for much
| less sums, and with much less pretensons.


About half past o'clock the horses for the principal
and appeared in first rate condition; Liatunah showed
evidence ofconsderabe improvement since last spring
being much like Fashion in several respects only
had each their admirers, but Fashion the decided

top beautiful race took place. After passing the three

stand, when Dr. Dixon promptly attended the wounded
animal, and by few stitches most successful in

consultation among her friends, when Dr. Dixon gave

the animal to attempt it, in all probability the wound
would open in the struggle and there would be tell
