For the Richmond Whig.Fall IZtice* over the Ilr.»ul Hock Course. 1ft29.f On Tuesday, a beautiful race was anticipated, it Ic, being a po.-j bweepslake, for 3 years old colts and til- I ’ i lies, but as it frequently hap]»ciis, public expectation \1 * j was much disappointcd, the race being won without ’ exertion, by Mr. John sou’s filly, Churlutte Temple,!. i_ in two heats; it w due to this fine mare, and h.-r tuvn-I ers, to state, that this Is the fifth race she has run j j 1 this year, three of which were post stakes, (whichof I . course included the best cults that couM be started.) i* | nnd that she has been the winner of all, without hav- ' i ingcvou a close contest: she is full sister to .Mr. Butt's i horse Gohonna, nnd ought to add mucJi to Jiis reptt- , tation, ns a Stock Horse.The following horses started in tb** race:Mr. Johnson’s s. f.
