THE RACE BETWEEN FASHION AND TEN
MARCHIONESS,
(usurers acoocsr.)
We rejoined a friend, at two, who was taking
procrastinator in the shape of a.raw oyster, and, a few
minutes after, "crossed the ferry" with a hundred of
two of merry people, bound, Litis time, indisct9mit
nately, (some of the passengers mote highly onsameru
ted than others, but Charon not being the ferryman) tq
the sane place on the other side! The day was gray
and the air trepid—good for the horses. Little or nq
betting, as far as we could observe. No one seemed
to know what the Marchioness was like, yet no one
spoke lightly of hes. (A happy peculiarity of Mar,
chioneues onfour legs, by the bye, that, because they
have no character, they have not necessarily lost itl)
Every possible shape of vehicle seemed to be upoq
the Mad, and the competition for our society was es,
ceedingly active. A gentleman witha very c,,Tptriens
ced-looking pair of horses undertook us at last, and,
for a couple of shillings, drew us to the circle of
"Fashion," and left us to take the stand that suited us,
There seemed to be something like two chocolad pea,
ple on the ditrerent platforms, and the winninciockey
of the first race (that moment over) was beingyzenghs
ed as we entered.
It was still WI an hour to the grand ace, zed *PP
tug, from the stand, the pedestrian here Gildersleeve
strolling about in the crowd below, we went dawn to
emptily the news from the "Point of Deaths that
critical spot having heen given as his wbettsabout in
the National Intelligencer of Tuesday. While he WeS
very carelessly assuring us that his personal movements
bad been mis•announced by our usually most accurate
friends at Washington, we took a fair look At him,
dressed.
The difference between a man in silk shirt-and draw,
ers, and a man in ordinary costume is hardly realizable
without seeing both in the open air. 8. ete,ll-mnade
athletic like Gildersleeve is as much shorn of permed
advantages by coot and trimmers as most men are em
bellished by them. His face is pale and expressive of
indomitable resolution, but he neither looks vary heal,
thy no rvery light footed, and his fine chest, powerful
limbs, and symmetrical back and loins would. in ordi
nary pursuits, go to the worms unsuspected of beauty.
He was looked at, a good deal, by the curious, but be
seemed insensible to their admiration except antt he
smiled rather slily at a general cry of " Go it Gilder:
sleeve!" when an officer made chase after an intruder.
He is to rim again, with his two h;nglish competitors,
by the way, on the 15th proximo, and the prize is for
the ''fastest in ten miles," though "bottom" being his
forte, Gildetsleeve would have pteferred "d,e farthest
running in an hour." He thinks he could do eleven
miles. Ilis Indian competitor was on the ground,
dressed, to our surprise, quite like a dandy, and, unlike
the victor, rather gaining by "loose bebits"--of bread:.
cloth.
By this time Fashion came along in her blanket,ber
lily-stem legs dropping from the knee with careless
elegance as she walked, and how eye as tranquil as e.
lady's looking into a worlphasket. We caught our,
self, the the next moment, glancing at her phrenologis
cal develorlmnnts, she looked our way so knowingly,
and Clarke (the great horse•artist who painted her)
being at our elbow, we enquired his opinion as to her
nous. He answered us that he bad known "slower"
females, and she really looks intelligent enough for
visiting eccquaintance—as the world goes. The Mar
chioness followed close on her heels, and when their
blankets were taken off, they looked as much alikr,
both chesnut mares—that there were disputes (am,ong
the illiterate in horse) which was the new comer.—
Indeed, but for Fashion's intorporable build , theMnr,
chioness would have
"stolen
All future appetite from out the eye,"
as to herso-beauty, (and to this kind of belmay, by the
way, we are so susceptible that we never thought of a
clean glass, rben, at the close of the first heat ? we
saw Fashion's jockey take a drink from the nose of the
same gin-bottle which he had just stuck down the
throat of his favorite!)
The bell rung and we scrambled into the stand.-ee
Money was passing to stake-holders in all .di s.
A stout gentleman stood MI the course, and, 4 Wo the
best of his ability looking the public in the , face, pro
miscuously ofered five to one on Fisbien. One span
said Fashion had a cold. A by-stander replied that if
she was theleast out of condition, the Marchioness was
the looking slut to beat her. The jockeys gave leg
and mounted—blue silk jacket on Fashioa,intrpie silk
on her rival. At the tap of the bell they dropped away',
like pendulums from the hand, and rounded :the .first
semicircle as if they cookl'nt help is—the Marchio
ness on the lead. fashion followed, without gaining,
two-thirds rand. At the last quarter the horses and
jackets were so alike that it was•difficult to•tell.whieh
was on the lead, and the betting grew suddenly very
noisy; but the Mambioniss passed half a length-ahead,
Away they went on the second mile, and she purple
jacket same round ahead again, .and Bayed oa me
lead, till the last quarter of the third mile, when
Fashion slid past her, "as is her custom of an after
noon," and came in the winner.
It was hoped, fur the stoke of prolonging the sport,
that the Igarobkoness would wilt aussagortil heat :taking
a third to be run for the issue. The tueney-talk was
at a stand still, however,4ls the.white!kerseymeres of
purple jacket showed blood around his spur. and
,Fashion was evidently in trim. Nobody would het,
',anything to anything, that the blue jacket .could be
'beaten. Cie half hour's interval between .the .bents
was passed in seeing the snares scraped and pialtieg
stwo Mr three i tundothroised •pten.gr of the.ruins of
a staging that bent do l unbised to pieties, and .then the
damaged were left to limp indlcolito•lbeir shine moil
shoulders, and away went the sorrels, .Fastereunning
this time. Both mates seemed-mbe doing their beet,
but these wasa ditTerenctsin.their stride, even ,when
passing at the, same pace. 'Fashion laps her stilled{
over her ribs as if she could turn her leg round on her
thigh joint like the spoke of a wheel,and in thi s if e fi c i t y
of 'thigh movement seemed to lie lea tremendoustilink
forward. 'Each time they name-round on the/ast beat,
Ice noticed this same difference—the Marchioness ix
rehurry to 'get 'Ater legs :back to the ground.; and
Fashion keeping headway littlters were ready, by sq.-
riormomentum.
The second herat.was•svpn by feshion jot like the
first, mini the race was over. Beaten &Babe -.was, how
ever, the Marchioness has won reputation by being
seen, and she will rate with the celebrities hereafter.
We rejoice in her defeat, ,for it irks us to see great
laurels put in peril, endwe-should have broken our
heart-4for a few minutes)—to have seen Fashion's
well earned glory diminished.
