A trotting race, best three in fiye in harness. for a purse of $200, took place yesterday after- noon on tne National Race Course, near the Insane Asylum, the proceeds of which will be eet apart for the relief of the in this city. The race was announced for Monday but was postponed until yesterday on account of the inclemency of the weather. A large nuraber of visitors were-m attendance, and bettin, was very lively; previous to the race ti favorites being b.m. Bess, b. m. Lightfoot. The entries were as follows: B.g. John Law, by H.O. Hull: b. g. Gen, Sherman, by owner; b m. Lightoot, by A. P. House; br. m. Mary, by owner; z. g. Moscow, by Allen Dorsey; b. m. Bese, by owner: and b. m. Lady Marlboro, by owner. John Law and Lady M ro ‘were withdrawn previous to the race, leaving five contestants. The Jacgee, ‘were Job W. Angus, W. J. Brooke, J. H. Gheene, Marshall Brown, Ohas. Godfrey and Gen. N. A fine band of music war in attendance, and everything paseed off sen ntly. About 4o’clock the horses were yagbt ont, and shortly after the race com- menced. In the first heat Moscow led off, and passed the half-mile pole in 1.21%, Bess about one length behind. She finally paseed, and reached home in 2.42, Moscow being about half a length behind; but Bess broe just before coming be and the heat was given to Moscow. Time, 12. in the second heat, the brown mare Mary led off, and kept it to the half-mile pole. Bessand Moscow were close behind, neck and neck. Morcow oan and made the score a length » in 2.48. After paseing the score, a shaft of General Sherman’s sulky broke, and the driver was thrown to the ground, but picked himeelf u, uninjured. A wheel of the br. m Mary puggy was ee and ted driver be- coming entangled was dragged about one hun- dred and filty yards. The greatest excitement prevailed, but the fears of the spectators were dispelled when the driver, who bad maintained his hold on the reins, succeeded in partially checking the frightened animal, amd tm regain- ing hia feet. His injuries were slight, but an- otber driver was substituted. Two sulkies being injured, an attempt was made to substi. tute wagons, but the judges decided that the Tace was to harness, nd not to wagons. After some time other enikies were procured, and the third heat commenced. Lightfoot led off, Moscow and Bess closed up and passed her near the balf mile pole; on the home stretch Bess and Moscow were neck aad neck, but finally Bess got ahead and made the score in 2:47, being a fall length abead. In the fourth heat, Lightfoot led off and kept to the half mile pole; Moscow and Beas Again passed her, neck and neck, bat Bess got ahead and made the score in 2:50, several lengths abead. In the Afth heat Lightfoot was withdrawn. Bees leq off, and came in first; time 8.56; thus winning the race. The track was in excellent condition, and the day a pleasant one. Several false starts were made before the first bet in ene of which the sulky to which b. g. Gen. Sherman was de'ached. was overturned and the driver thrown tothe ground. The horse became entangled in the harness and fell, but fortunately neither driver or horse were injured. hile waiting for the fourth heat, arun- ning race occurred, quarter-mile heat, for $25, the following horses were entered: g. m. Belle of Bladensburg, by owner: s. m. Nonesuch, by Captain Fields, and s.m. Fanny, by owner. On etarting, the s. m. Nonesuch breke, and was withdrawn. A final start was made, and after a brilliant dash the race was won by the Belle of Bladensburg by half a dozen lengths. ——.—_ THE RECEPTION OF THE NATIONALS —An adjourned meeting of the base ball fraternity, was held last evening at Cronin’s. to make further arrangements for the reception to be given to the Nationals on their retarn from their Western tour. Various members of the Finance Committee having in charge the sale of tickets for the supper, reported favorable progress in their work aud bright aaticipa- tions of a successful affair. As the Nationals will arrive at the Baltimore and Ohio depo: this evening at half past five o'clock, it was decided that the committees, with Heald’s band, would meet at Cronin’s at half past four o'clock, at which place the base ball fraternity generally and all admirers of the game sre in- vited to meet them, when they will procesd in a body to meet and escort the “champions” up the avenue to the base ball headqnarters. (On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, the party will be entertained at the Kirkwood House by a supper, &¢. Tickets may be obtained from the Finance Committee, and will also be for sale at Cronin’s, the Kirkwood news stand, and several other places. An additional com. mittee—consisting of Mesers. Ellerbeck, of the Gymnastic Club, Bigelow, of the Continental, and bearasley, of the Union—wiill solicit sub- scriptions from the citizens generally, to be used in defraying the expenses of the band, as well as other mcidental expenses necessarily attending an ovation of this character. it baving been intimated at the meeting that an impression prevailed ammong members of aome of theciubs not connected with the National “Association that this reception was given by, and confined exclusively to, the clubs belong- ing to the said association, a mo'ion was unent. mously adopted, refuting such an impression, and cordially inviting the co-operation of al tbe clubs and ball players in the District, with. out regard to any association whatever; after which the meeting adjourned until Thursday eventing, at half past 8 o’clock, when it is hoped there will be a large attendance of ball players at Crorin’e, prepared to make arrangements for a “big time” on Friday evening, at the Kirkwood. —_o—__ RIGHTS OF CREDITORS —The case of R. P. Dodge andG. H. McOlellan vs. James P. Gregery etal. which was before the Equity Court, Judge Cartter, yesterday, was an application for an injunction | to restrain the sale of certain real esta’ein this city under a deed of trust of Morgan & Ri hart. It involves Morgan D Clarke, who claims @ prier lien, and the other creditors of the firm, who claim under a gene- raj @ssignment to the plaintiffs in this cause. The application before the court is for a tem- Porary injunction to restrain the sale of the Teal estate of the firma, advertised to take place to-day—tor the benefit of Olarke in exclusion ot the other creditors. The other creditors elaime that the rate of $25,000 under the deed, to secure which the sale is advertised, was iven without consideration, andis void. Mr, larke and Mr. Fuller, the defendants, ans: that the debt is bona fide, being in great p: the purchase-money of two steamers pur- chased by Morgam Enigeharbof Faller. The Court thought there was nothing in thi to justify the chancellor ip interfering the position in which the parties had piaced them. selves in their own contract. The bill alleged that the consideration of the note wasa loin to be obtained, but which in fact never was obtained. The answers set forth that the note was given for a current debt; and the law held that where the answer depied the equity of the bill no injanction could be granted for this case, therefore the prayer for injunction mast be refused. i ORPHANS’ Court, Judge: Purcell.—Yester- day, after Our report closed, the first accogat of Christian Olson, guardian to the orphans of Henry Tucker, deceased, was passed and appreved, TPT. peiticn of Kate M.

The regatta will start trom the 6th street wharf,and sail down the river, rounding & buoy off Fort Washington, and’ back to thd starting point, the whole distance being about thirty-two miles. Previous to ing the boats will be measured, so as to reckon the al- Towance of two minutes per foot for difference in length, by Mr. Charles Wilsen, who has beep appointed for that purpose; and the cap- tains of the boats will receive their instructionS from the judges—Messre.

The St. Dominick Cornet Band will be on this boat, it ts the intention of Capt. Lawier. should it be necessary. te down the first load to Fort ‘Washington and land them there, they may witness the splendid sight of the regatta round- ing the buoy, and return for a second trip, to be made at 3% o’clock, for the accommodation of those who cannot get off earlier. Itis re- quested that pilots on the river will give way &2 much as possible to the regatta. Ample olice arrangements have been made both for fond and water, and it may be expected that the strictest order will be preserved. In order to aecommodate the large number of persons who desire to witness the race, the steamers Wawaset and Winnisimmit will make excursions to Fort Washingten, and re- turn at the close of the eontes’, the latter boat leaving 7th street wharf at 12 o'clock, and the first-named at three o'clock. The tare for the Tound tr.p by these boats has been put at the wnprecedentedly low figure of fifteen cents. ——e Back BaLt.—A return game of base ball was layed on the grounds of the United States Base Ball Olnb, corner of Ninth and Boun- Gary streets, yesterday.

Secon the ‘National nine proper had not yet played in & match this season, the series of the tour being experimental contests to train the nine to meet ng clubs of the East; and thitdly, the defeat suatdined had te be offset by s victory which would atone and at the same time prove that the National nine were nee of the largest. most and orderly assembi knowan.to ata sapable of better piay than that sbowa on any previous game of the tour, and that, when ty pinced, each man in his Tight posi on they could bape their me a et celui 4p “the cout id it Batt deat. The weather on the occasion was all that could have been desired; for though the sua ‘was hot, a cool breeze made the atmosphere own The stpeae Ache livelier Le eg ursday, and hence better opportunities ) were atorded for fielding. A large police toree were present and the immense crowd ‘were kept back in theirpidces, the entire field being encircled before the game was half through, and the outer circle was not far from Amilein circumference For the first time the Nationals preeented their nine ti their right petione ‘with George Wright at snort field, obinson at left and Parker at second. The game began at2.20 p. m., with the Nationals the bat; seven runs were made, W1 the third hand out. Tre Nation: tothe field, and their countenance displaye: that this time they. were earnestiy bent on doing the very best to win, and by the fine fielding of balls by Fox and Parker to Fletch. er, the Isiors were disposed of for ablank, one man being left on his third; the tally of the firstinning being 7 to 0 im favor of the Nationals. in the second inning the Natio! added 5 to their score, and again caused their opponents to draw a biank, as splendid run- ping catch by Berthrong and a Norton, marking the fieldiog—tally, 12 to 0. in tbe third innings the Exceisiors scored two by good batting, after the Nationals had de- moralized them by ‘running up a score of 21 against them; but afterwards splenaid fielding by the National ms caused their retirement for blank scores, the Natio in tie saterim. running up their score to 47, the tally at the close of the sixth ini: being 47 to 2. Thus far the Lage of the Nationais, both at the bat and in the 5 hed been a model display, not an error mark- ing the play of a member of the nine. After- wards, though they still fielded admirably, two or three errors crept in, and the Exeelsiors thereby added two more runs to their score, good hits Giso helping them materially. They also improved in their felding very much, they ker the score of the Nationale down to one biank alse being scored; the jotals at the close of the ninth innings stand- ing at 49to4 in favor of the Nationals. The prevailing impression at the close of this con- fest, among the greater ‘ion of those who had witnessed the Rockford game, was, that that defeat had been Durposely, sustained.

Morgan, formerly » Commander inthe United States navy, and at one time captain of the United States steamer Ascutney, ‘who, on the 10th of July, 1866, married, in this city, Miss Martha Wroe, daughter of Samuel Wroe, Esq., (the well-known livery stable proprietor) of Washington, having at the time 4 wife living in Connect'cut. The marriage ceremony was performed here by the Rev. B. Sunderland. Morgan married under the name of Sinclair Morgan, omitting his first name. ‘The Hartford Times, of Monday evening, pu Lshes the following additional particular: “A few years since, Mr. Morgan married a daughter of the late William Kellogg, Esq., of East Hartford. and the lady was very mach attached to him. They have two bright cril- dren pow living. Mr. Morgan in the mean- time was promoted rapidly in the navy, was finally appointed a commander of u targe war ship, and his prospects in life were most Hattering. While his suip was laying atthe Wasbington Navy Yard, a year or 80 since, he became attached to a Miss Wroe, an only daughter, and of a highly respectaole family ot Washington—ner father being a man of wealth. Suapge as it may m—and shocking as the tact was to his friends and relatives bere, be married Miss Wroe. She is now about to become a mother. There are two or three facts that make this case aggravating. Last spring Miss Wroe, who had been the wite of Morgan for nearly a year, came to Hartford to see Mrs. Morgan an THE ia! ‘went back to Ber father’s in Washington. Soon alter Morgan came on, and said he had separated trom his second wife forever, or had given her 2p, and that henceforth repudiating bis errors, be should cling to his firstand only legitimate wife. Mrs. Morgan received him only ass wife who loved ber husband could receive him; and she was quitehappy. He remained with ber @ short time, less thana wonth, when one morning he coolly informed ber that he did not love her. He then left her and went back to Washington or to Georg town. Mrs. Morgan’s immediate rolatiy. then took steps to have him arrested. M Wroe, the tather of the second wife, sends on aletter signed by R. D. Hubbard, State At- torpey, and dated Hartford, June 1, 1867, in- forming him that Morgan was never married to Miss Kellogg, but lived with her illegiti- mately for eight years. This latter isa furgery. ‘ubbard will take any step: with regard to this forgery, we are not in- formed. We have seen the letter.” Morgan, it will be remembered, was arrested in George. town, where he was a clerk for Mr. Walter Godey, the ice desler, and is now under bath of $1,500 to answer the charge before the Criminal Court at the December term. ae A Cow Oasn—Before Justice N. H. Mil- ler, to-di Ferdinand Schmidt brought suit net. n Picard, claiming damages: illegal transaction with reference to the ‘ofa cow. It was claimed by the plaintiff that on the 8tt day of June, 1867, the defend- ant bar; ed ani id to the plaintiff one cow for $60, warranting the same to be sound and healthy. Eight days after the plaintiff offered. toreturn the cow, because she was sick and utterly worthless; but the said defendant re- fused to take her back or refund the money which had been puid. He therefore brings suit for the original sum of $60, with interest from 10th day of June, 1867, and the further feed and shelter of said cow, and the costs of suit. ‘The defence claims that when the cow was sold she was in perfect health, amd that no complaint was made by the plaintiff of the sickness of ihe avimal till near two months after the that one note was paid thirty days after; and, morgover, that when the sale was effected, there was no special wurranty jiven. s Several witnesses were examined; after which Justice Miller adjourned the case over till to-morrow morning, in order to allow an | opportunity for the procurement of further ; testimeny. | _Equrex Oounr— Chief Justice Cariter—Thig morning Mr. Totten, counsel for the plaintiff, moved im tbe case of 80.

It seems that an old man by the name of Ellis Jones had deeded away all bie property to bis sons, with the condition that they should support him the rest of his life.

During ine altercation the son drew ® pistol and shot his father im the left side, inflicting a wound which caused bis death in six or eight hours, Public opinion in that neighborhood seems to meline to the belief that the affair was a pre- meditated one, concocted bythe brothers, and that the boy who committed the act was mere- ly made the tool of the older but more cow- ardly ones.
