Keep, Healdsburg, Cal. Chester, who is quite thoroughly accepted, gives Ariel's time, to harness, as 3:5540), and Spangle's time, to wagon, 3:58:04. ⦠Royal Hampton. Eeferring to the race for the City and Suburban, the Sport' tng Life sayB: That Eoyal Hampton must be one of the gamest of the game is evidenced by his state when he pulled up, and walked, or rather hobbled, back to the inclosure. It was plain that his off fore leg was "gone," while he was also lame on the hind leg, upon which he wore a bandage. The horse's supreme effort under such difficulties is among the most notable incidents in the history of great races. Be i. too, understood that the mishap, according to his ri opinion, occurred so far back as Tattenham Corner! The heart which brought the horse through is all the more admired. Truly there is "something in breeding," detractors say what they may, either in man, horse, oat, cow, Bheep or pig.
