The new season of the New York race season began at the Fashion Course on Long Island, with a five heat trotting contest for $500 between the mare Lady Marshall, with Isaac Woodruff the driver, and the gelding General McClellan, with Woodruff's brother Hiram at the reins. The male horse won the first heat but Lady Marshall took the next three to win the rubber. (By John Osborne)
