New Market Races

New Market races

--Second Day.--The sport at New Market, Wednesday, was favored with fine weather, but owing to the rain of Tuesday, the track was very heavy. There were four entries for the Bollingbrook Hotel Purse of $200, two mile heats--Mr. Belcher's John L., Mr. Beazley's Frank Hicks, Mr. McDaniel's Gov. Wickliffe, and Mr. Hall's Great Eastern. Two heats were run, and were won by John L, Frank Hicks, Wickliffe and Great Eastern following respectively, and in the same position in both heats. The time of each heat was also identical, being four minutes exactly.
