rleans — defeat of Planet. The New Orleans papers of Sunday give the particulars of the four mile race over the Metaire course, Saturday, on which it is stated $300,000 changed hands. The entries were Doswell's Planet, Foley's Lightning. and Kenner's Panic. The storm Friday had reduced the track to a terribly mucky condition, and destroyed the possibility of quick time. The betting was chiefly between the friends of Planet and Lightning, though the fact that Panic had beaten the latter in e single-seated buggy to the ponderous omnibus and the railroad cars, were in lively demand, and soon all the avenues to the track were covered with them. The race of the day was four mile heats for the Club Purse of $1,500. The entries were Kenner's Panic, Doswell's Planet, and Foley's Lightning. The pool betting the previous evening placed them in the above order, out of $26,905 pooled Panic having $11,160, Planet $8,580, and Lightning $7,165. But it should be borne in mind that this pla

race. The Virginia horses — who, by the way, did not win a race the whole week — sustained a defeat on Friday in a single dash of two miles, the entries being Doswell's Exchequer, Minor's Neil Robinson, Vairin's Laura Farris, and Richard's Magenta. The Delta says: "There was some straining for a good start by the prime ministers, and after futile attempt of each party to take the wind out of the sails of his adversary, they got off, Laura Farris certainly had a bad start, but she mathey came with the speed of quarter horses — neither in front, neither behind — and burst over the score like the twins of Latona into life.--Exchequer was third, and Niel Robinson somewhere down by the last turn.

al brush. Half way round he neared his leader, and made a pretty run to catch him.--Turning the homestretch, they came down amidst uproarious shouts, Lightning, however, keeping some lengths ahead, and so reaching the winning post, having made the fourth mile in 2:02, the heat in 8:13½, and so, of course, the race. The Virginia horses — who, by the way, did not win a race the whole week — sustained a defeat on Friday in a single dash of two miles, the entries being Doswell's Exchequer, Minor's Neil Robinson, Vairin's Laura Farris, and Richard's Magenta.

onsideration in this estimate as against the Virginia horse. Some bets were made just before the start, in favor of Lightning against Planet, in the race. Gilpatrick rode Lightning, and Abe, Panic, Messrs. Doswell's own rider being on Planet. There was a fair start for the first heat, Planet ahead, and Panic following, to him was Panic. On the back stretch, on the second mile, Planet took the track and maintained it. Lightning then went ahead, the Virginian following. It was Gilpatrick's mile, in 1:58--(making the two miles, 3:58.) They went into the back stretch nearly together; but Lightning soon made a gap between him and his pursuers, and maintained it to the string, which he passed a length ahead of Planet, making the third mile in 1:58, (the three miles in 5:56.) --Gilpatrick made the most of this advantage, and kept bravely on his muddy track, and soon increased the gap, while Planet, like "panting time, toiled after him in vain, " and Panic plodding far in the

As the fleet entered the second mile, Laura went to work — cut down the Virginian, and ranged alongside the gallant Magenta, and these two had the most beautiful struggle for the front place we ever saw. Down the third quarter and up the fourth quarter they came with the speed of quarter horses — neither in front, neither behind — and burst over the score like the twins of Latona into life.--Exchequer was third, and Niel Robinson somewhere down by the last turn.

et clearly defined advantage on the side of the field. The state of the track, which was, indeed, awfully heavy, was considered to be favorable to the chances of both Lightning and Planet, as compared with Panic, and to the former particularly. The difference of weight was taken into consideration in this estimate as against the Virginia horse. Some bets were made just before the start, in favor of Lightning against Planet, in the race. Gilpatrick rode Lightning, and Abe, Panic, Messrs. Doswell's own rider being on Planet. There was a fair start for the first heat, Planet ahead, and Panic following, Lightning in the rear. But this did not last long, the Lexington coming up and taking the second place, about half way round, and keeping it to the turn. The struggle for the mile was not great, apparently, but Planet first passed the string, getting the first mile, (time, two minutes,) next to him was Panic. On the back stretch, on the second mile, Planet took the track an
