 The Turf-At an early hour in the forenoon of yesterday, the route to the presented animated scene, The bright which shone so auspicuousy induced many of them to exchange the dusty streets of city, for the clear air of Long Island. Every countenance beamed with anticipa- ton of the expected pleasure, and none, save those who lost too deeply, had to complain that their tcipations not realized

 A few minutes after o'clock the match between Livingstons G0tah and Col J0hnson's Virginia mare, BonnetS of Blue, for $10 900 commenced; the animals are each years old, Goiah got by Elipse, and Bonnots of Blue by Sir Charles: the sires of both have been famous on the turf. The Jockey who rode the Southern mare was dressed in blue; he, of the Northern in red, each carried feather weight. In the first heat inc mare kept the lead with apparent ease, and the knowing ones say that it was permitted with a view of saving Goliah for the two last which it WAS expected he would win on bottom In the second heat the mare had the lead in thc first mile and half, but the horse then passed her by and kept in the advance for more than a mile. This was the most interesting part of the race; appearances were go much III favor o Gollah, that although betting nj the end of the first heat was three to two, and even two to one on the mare now many were taken at evel bets. Finally, the mare won the second heat by about two lengths, The time of the first heat, miles, was Sm. 15 sec: the second Sm. Several thousand dollars changed own CTS in the of the day. The spirits of the gay Southerns, rendered still more buoyant by the success of their favorite. They protest that they care nothing for the money they have won that they will circulate it in the great metropolis. and are anxious for, and jealous only of the sporting charac- ter of the gallant south.

 Every sportsman knows of course, that this is not the first success achieved by :" Bonnets of Blue"- In the spring of 1S30 she three great stakes Union Course and in the following October she won the sweepstakes at Tree Hill, Richmond, and on both these occasions her speed was greater than ex- hibited yesterday.-N.
