MARTIN SILK, No, 38 Charles street. TROTTING AT THE FASHION COURSE, Within a few days the general aspect of the country has greatly improved, The flelds are he- coming green, the forest trees leafing out and the fruit trees commencing to show blossoms. In a few days more the country will be a mass 6f verdure and of flowers. Riding along the roads, which were in- tolerably dusty, through the dry weather and the high winds, we observed that the operations in the fleld gardens have commenced in earnest, and that in every direction could be seen persons engaged in ruralavocations. The day was a very fine one, rather warm in some respects; but on the race course, where a strong wind prevailed throughout the af- ternoon, the air was semewhat cool, and overcoats by no means disagreeable, The trot was a sweepstakes of £490, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, for which there were three entries, Mr. Champlin’s bay mare Bella Clay, Mr. Borst’s bay stallion Henry Clay and Mr. Mace’s brown mare Belle ot Allentown. The race was won by Bella Clay in three straight heats. These horses will be remembered as having trotted last week in company with Twist and Louise, and they trotted faster on that occasion in a gale of wind than they did yesterday, much to the disappointment of their respective backers, The stallion Was the favorite at the commencement of the pool selling, which arose from the fact of his having been better in the pre- vious race than the others were, Aa the selling pro- gressed the star of Bella Clay arose in the ascendant, and she i turn became the favorite against the field, While scoriug, however, she showed temper and more or less unsteadiness, and before the race began the stallion had again taken the lead in the betting. The winner, Bella Clay, 1s a smali sized Kastern bred mare, having been sired by a horse in Vermont called Ephraim Clay, a son of Cassius M, Clay, and she has considerable speed and endurance, Her style of going 1s very perfect, After the first heat, which Bella Clay won ver, handtiy, all betting on the event of the day ceased, it being geueraily conceded that she must win the race unless some contingency should occur to deteat her, but which was,not likely to happen. As further pool-selling on this race was out of the question, the pool-seller decided to sell pools on the greatevent of next Monday—that is, the race between American Girl and Lady Thorn. His determination m that reopect drew together quite an assemblage of buyers, and pool-selling weat on briskly for some time. The preference of the buyers was strongly in favor of Lady* Thorn, who sold largely at about two to one. ‘hy such a decided preference for Lady Thorn should be manifested we are at aloss to account for, unless buyers pre- sume on her tormer prestige, Little or nothing ts actually known of her cendition this spring further than that she is very Insty and similar in appearance to what she was last season at this time. ‘There are some, however, who do seem to have as much con- fidence in her this season as they had last and who rofess to base their opinion on facts not generally nown to the public. We, however, think inat the mare has hardly had time to be got in proper con- dition for a bruising race, such a one as she must undoubtediy go thronga with, American Girl, if the Jatter is im anything like ner usual form. Lady ‘Thorn appeared on the — turf a month later last season than she will appear in t and even then doubts were ex) by her trainer as to her proper condition, She turned out, however, to be just the thig, and made a most eapital race, and may do so tn this instance, as experience seems to indicate that she does better when full fleshed than whea rather low tn condition, Setting al! speculation aside for the present on asub- ject on whic! ecan form no definite opimion, we may state that a few days will deekte the whole maiter, and that Monday next will test the compari- tive speed and stamina of both these ¢ mares, engaged to contend for the honors ot that day. No race that has heretofore taken place so early in the season has created so much tuk among sporting men as the coming even wins will pro season. . aud Whichever bly become the tramp card for the specuiation as to the future, we will rticulars of the race vesterd ‘The horses scored several times be. fore they were started, Bella Clay nad the best of the send off, the stallion second and Belle of Allen- town bringing up the rear. The two mares broke up soon afterwards, but Bella Clay did not quish the lead, and she went around the tw lengths in front of the others, who were fi © quarter pol | head for part of the way, At Belin Clay led two lengths, feilo of Ahentown second, half a length aheat of the stailion, Time, forty-three seconds, There was very little variation in thetr relative positions on heir way dowa the backstreteh uauil near the half | mge pole, when the 1 grabbed hts fore shoe and broke up.

The little r continued to lead along the Flushing | end, Belle of Aileaiown and the station going side and side the greater part o| the Way. Belle thea broke up and the stallion drew away from her, Hella Clay trotted very steadi!y until she reached tie homestretch, When she made a break, but was down again in an insiani, and she came home an easy winner of the heat by four lengths in 2:48, the stallion secvnd, two lengths ahead of Belle of Allen- town. Second Heat,—Belia oy grt away first again, the stallion next and Belle of Allentown third, At the quarter pole the little mare had @ lead of two lengths, and she passed that point, going very sieady, in forty-two and a waif seconds, belle of Alieniown second, with the stallion at her wheel. Both the statlion and the Belle of Allentown broke on the backstreich, and the litte mare was four lengths in front at ,the half-mile pole in 1:25), from point to the end she gradually increased the whie| | distance between herself and the ofters, and came home a winner by eight lengths ia 247%.

Time to that point, Bella Clay did not fall off after breaking, but continued to ran alongside of the stale lion for at least two hundred yards, and even untit he broke up, When she resumed her trot and took the lead, ‘At the three-quarter pole she was one length ahead of the stallion, Who was abeut the sate distance in front of Belle of Allentown, Com- ing up the homestretch the race was very exciting, the stallion breaking twice, and as they crossed the score the little mare had her neck and sioublers in front.
