There was a three miles trotting match run after the Consolation Stakes, for which nine started ; stakes £5, entrance added. In this kind of race it is not the beßt horse that wins. If the horse is allowed to break into a canto he has to be stopped and turned round for » fresh start. An eager rider is almost sure tr> lose the race as. he will not keep his horse in sufficient cheek. A horse that will turn round and start again quick is also one sure to gain an advantage over faster trotting horse?. However, this kind of racing, which 13 so much followed up in America, deserves to be more encouraged among us tLan it is, slow as it may seem to some. P.S.— The protest is settled ly Mr Great head dividing the stakes and giving the race to Flatcatcher.
