Exciting Race.—Tuesday afternoon an ex- citing foot race came off between one of W. M Judd’s clerks and a oung girl about 14 —— old. The girl had the start, but was urdened with a piece of gingham, which gave the boy the advantage. The girl, per- ceiving this, threw the — into the gangwsy adjoining Aaron Clapp's store, and brought the contestants upon a more equal footing The boy row made a desperate effort and gained rapidly upon the gin , overtaking her in Pratt street. fie politely beggod the privi- lege of escorting her back to the starting place; md although she said No—he sup- posing that, like og fe other maiden, * meant “‘Yes’’—took her at ber word and es. corted her back. He then very ungallently set for officer Nott, who led the girl to “Squire Mann’s office, after which the mother came and all parties left to settle the matter, if ssible, without public exposure; and that s the reason we say nothing about the occur- rence. Another exciting race occurred about the same time between two Irish girls and a clerk in J. H. Hubbard’s store The stake was « package of whalebone The girls were soon overtaken and escorted back to the store, but were released in consideration of the very great tem; ion on beholding the much cove- ted whalebone.—Hartford Courant.
