Regatta. - Tho Shooting Tournament at Cincinnati, b THE ' TURF. THIRD DAY OF TIHE DEXTER FARR MEETING, .Tho attendanco nt tho races yestarday, while it ‘was not g largo ns the merits of the entertain- mont demanded, was still gratifging to a groat dogroo. 1t showed clonrly that tho Intorest of tho paoplo of Ohleago in the oxclting sport of the turf is by no moans on tho wane, and that it can bo greatly hoightoned in a comparatively short timo by tho continuance of thie prosont manage- mont of tho track. Tho spcciators numbered probably 4,000, and thoy wero afforded an nftor- poon of raro onjoyment, No complainé oan bo mado to-day sgainst tho dilatoriness of tho judgos. Capt. Johw Robinkon, of Jackson, Mich., ‘was ono of thom, and ho underatands the duties of tho position as thoroughly as any gontlomnn in tho country. Hoe gave the riders to undor- stand at tho outsot that no unnecessary dolay ‘would be countenanced for a momont, and that thoy musat bo honost in every act, olso a Bovero ponalty would be inflicted. Ilence, notwith- standing tha flelus of horsos woro large, and +very unmansageable in consoquonce;of their bulk, but little time was wasted, and whon it bocamo’ necessary to fine drivers for non-compliance with rmles Capt. Robinson was oqual to the occasion. The sudience gave unmistakable evidoncos - of its . appreciation of this sort of activity, and oxpect that a like sensiblo conrse. will be pursued heronfter, The intervalsbetweon the heats woro again plossantly fllled by excel- lent musio, and the weather was all that counld be desired in ronson. v . * The first raco Of ‘the day was for tho 2:38 purse of £1,260, aud the following hornes start ed in tho order namod: TFancher, Catskill, Al- bert, Bon Bmith, Bay - Honry, Mosa Roso, Young ‘Wilkes, Ludy. Motrison, Wolford Z., Roofor, Amy B., Mattie, Lislo, and Frank J. Boforo the first hent was' trotted Bmith and Fanchor wore firat and second fuvorites respoctively intho pools, though the fiold brought moro than eithor of them. It waa abad raco for favorites, Fancher was thrown overboard -after the first hoat, but Bmith’s friends woro na numerous as ovor until ho lost all chanco of winning oven third monoy. Tho rosult of the race showed that neither horss was ontitled to bo made a cholce, both being close to tho roar in ovory hest. The larger sharo of the promium was won by tho Chicago borso Albert, and it was nothing but genuine trotting that ever gavo it tohim. When it was found that he was o dangerous competitor, his owner was approsched on tho subject of divid- ing up winnings. e ndiguantly rejectod tho disbonest propoaition, saying ho would win fair Jyor mnotat all, aud from ‘that timoon every effort was mado- by the drivers of some of tho othor horses to put Albert out of tho race by getting bim into pockets, crowding lum to the fence, running into his sulky, and using every other rascally device known to tho trotting turf, He was too ‘skilllfully handled by Bill McLaugh- Iin, howovor, and “though ono of the spokos of his sulky was broken in one of the heats, he camo out a winner intho ond. The judges treated him fairly, boing “coghizant of the basa trioks that wero being played on him, but unable {for tho moment to dotect them definitoly. Tho raco a8 & wholo was oxtromely exciting, and is given ot groater longtl: in the following synop- eins Firat Heat—Great difficulty was oxperiencod in gotting the immonso fleld off in anything like even shape, Thoro was 1ot room enough on tho track for all of tho Lorses to go abreast, but af- ter sevoral Lrialg they camo down closs onoviny togethor to rocoive the word, Frank J., %yays in front, and got the bost of tho_etar’, nnd after him in close order followed W ford Z., Bay Henry, Bon Smith, Mattie 7410 Albert, and Young Wikos.

The figld, with the straggling excoptions above noticed, entored the home-stroteh in a heap, and it was'a matter of great uncortainty how the soveral horaes stood until they drew noar the stand. It was then seon that Albort wos & narrow winnor, Frank J. b“n% second, Catskill third, Young Wilkes fourth, and Mattie Lisle fifth, and all close to- gothar, while Wolford Z., Roofer, and Fanchor were distancod, and the remaindor barely saved themselves for tho noxt heat. Time, 2:81, Third Heal—This hoat occasloned 3 doal of ox=- oltoment, and was & finoly contestod heat throoghout, it being an open quoation which ‘would be the winnor until tho wire was gono un- der for the socoud timo. Tho send-off was an avorage fair one, but Frauk J. was leading whon the word was given. Albort was after Lim, but bo lost the En o, and then Boy Heury got well in front, and, botween him and Frank, Albert was putiia pocket from which it took him tome imo to extricats bimsolf.

Hooper thon stoppod to the front, and was from fivo to toa longths ahond all the way up tho back stroich, Jokor wne second, Clomontinn third, and Tom Wondor fourth, Thoy ontered tho home stroteh iu this order, though each desrensed tho lead of ihe othiors soveral longths, Hooper was about two lengths in advanco of Joker whon a fow stridos from.tho stand, Though whipped off lus foct, Lo wont undor the wiro a winnor by haif. a lougth; Clomontina third, Dolia fourth, Tom Wondor fifth, and Mila 0. last, she having lost o fiood place {>y & broak on the lioma stretch.

If any particular ono had tho vantago "it was Hoopor, and be iucroased it so .quiokly that-on tho back sirotoh he was far ‘enough ahead to preoludo all posaibility of boing -dofoatod. Jokor was .secoud for a whilo, but he broke budly noar. tho half-milo pole, and both Dolla and Clomontins passed bim. " Tom Wondor- +and Mila Q. were behind all tho way, and cut no ! figure at all in tho strugglo, At the upper turn 1t bocame spparont that thore would be no ox- citemont over tho close of the heat, Hooper ba- ing so far in advance of all competitors that ho could not bo ovortaken.
