Newrorr, R. 1, July 24, 1876, | Some rare sport was witnessed this afterneon on the grounds of the Westchester Polo Club, there be- ‘ing a hurdle race, a flat race and a first class polo game, There were about seventy- five carriages on the grounds, and among | number of prominent spectators were H.

Beckwith and many others, On the hill outside the club grounds there were at least 500 spectators, and they could not complain ot their ex- cellent position for witnessing the sports, but their presence there did not bring any revenue into the Tho letter, however, were not disposea to interfere with them, The carriages were filed on either side of the lot, und their occupants took a deep Interest in the attractions of the afternoon, and many times applauded the players, THE HORDLE RACE. The first on the programme was tho hurdle race, and | Harry Biassov, who has charge of the polo grounds, had arranged six very pretty hurdles, two feet and nine inches in height, and which, with the red and white flags to denote the course, together with the | | several tents on the ground, presented a very | fine appearance. Alter a few preiiminary can- | ters on the jittie mustangs they: were | up for starting by James T. K. Lawrenze. They were soon in line, and there was an absence of the jockeying so oft ov Cat ‘The horses were ridden by Howland, I. Ridgeway, Frederick A.

Alter passing the first quarter Colonel Jay got dismounted in attempting to jump the third hurdle, | which practically threw bim out of the race, Mr. | Bennett still kept leading and continued to do so up to the (hir quarter, when Mr, Ridgeway closed upon him atthe ffih bardie, both of them going over almost together, but Unfortunately for Mr. Ridge- way, he went the wrong side of the pole, | seeing two other hurdles which, he said, he supposed he must jump. ‘This error may not have lost him the race, but it kept him back some Ittle distance. Mr. Bennett won the race by three lengths.

The conditions of the race were that each rider should be mounted on a horse belonging to some other gentleman, aud that th@ last in should be the winuer. | Having this object in view, each rider would nece sarily desire to have bis pony ia first, in order to le sen the prospect of his losing the race. it was the first | of the kind that ever wok place here, and con- sequently the spectators were very much interested init, A good start was effected with Fane on the out- side, Augustus Joy taking the inside position, Howland took the lead with Fane close betind, and Bennett third, Ridgeway fourth, the two Jays coming up briskly. Fane soon captured and passed Howlaud and kept the lead throughout. At the first quarter he led fitteen lengths, Ben in the meentime lessening the distance between himselt and Ridgeway. The latter ou passing the second quarter began to close up on Fane. At this point Mr, Bennett's pony got stubborn, rrying its rider betwoen the carriages on the west side of the lot. Fane still kept ¢be lead, but Howland yd Colonel day could be seen whipping their ponies, whieh had the effect’ of — bringing = them r to the fron. On reaching the north end of the ground Ridgeway was at jeast twenty ths behind, but jessened that one-half before caching the Winning post, which was pasted in the following order:—Fane, on Ridgwav’s horse; Ridgwi on Fane's horse; Howland, on Augustus Jay's horse; Colone: day, on S&S.

One of these phases is | an ambition to possess, either for the gratifioation of a pride of Ownership or for the purposes of promt, the fasiest trotting horse in the world, of as near to it as the aspirant can ressonabvly hope to attain, This is the more “horsey” phase, and is usually allied to a love of active sport if not toa “sporting” tarn of mind.
