THE RACE The race yesterday between Wm. Beall’s sorrel and Arthur Nichol’s Baldy drew a large crowd despite the inclemency of the weather. The first half mile was a pretty race, the horses passing under the wire neck and neck, but right there Baldy sulked, nor whip, nor spur, nor the gentle reprimand of his rider could coerce or coax him to run. The sorrel won the race easily in 2.09.
