I re- ceived a copy of the report through an influential friend, and haye conscientiously waded through it Jor the purpose of gathering a few items of import- ance. The deplorable condition of the Cia has been commented upon in former letters, and due Mention was made of the fact that a large deficit Would have been found at the end of last year had it not been for the timely payment by the Panama Rail- road of the million of doliars for thelr new contract, Which stoppéd up the gap. From the report now be- fore me I see that the net income of the United States of Colombia for the last year was $2,120,505; resulting from sales of national property, $36,808; salt mines, $826,470; Panam Ratlroad, #257,640, and last, not least, customs, $1,027,554.

Besides the million of dol- Jars paid in drafts of $2,000cach, on the completion of the new contract, and the sum above stated, the railroad has settled with promptitude another claim of this government. Dr. Murillo, during his late presence at New York, obtained the payment of the sui which, according to article thirty-two of the new contract, the Panama Railroad owed to the Colom- bian government, on account of the three per cent. of the net protft of the road, as stipulated in article Afty-five of the old contract. Of this money ae had been paid to Agudeio, Colombian consul "4 ew York, and $30,000 by Colonel Totten at Be Dr. Murillo received from the directors at New York 132 as capital and $67, previous years, One-haif of this sum is to be paid to the United States government as compensa- tion for the massacre of 1865, according to conven- tions of September 10, 1857, and sare 10, 1864, Dr. Murillo also received the first qaarter of the year- ly payment by the Panama Raliroad Company in ac- cordance with their new contract.

The whole produce shows a falling of of $223,663 42 since the previous year, owing principally to the disturbed state of affains in the Atlantic States subsequently to Mosquera’ fall. Without counting the commerce and maritime movements of the Isthmus, which is entirely separate as a free transit, there entered into Colombian ports during the year 1867 thirty-one American vessels of 18,101 tons, and there sailed twenty-nine vessels of 14,431 tons, The total value of exports, as far as ojtictally tary’s office, was $5,494,259 A than in the previous year, Value of exports to the United States, $374,962 82, The most important ar- ticle of export is tobacco ($2,810,165 40, mostly to Germany); next coiton (£56,139 29), and coffee (609,959), &c.

The horses that came to the score were’ Mr. Lovell’s brown mare Lady Wells, Mr. Rodin’s chestnut geld- ing Tdpsawycr, Mr. Fish’s' chestnut gelding Frank Morgan, Mr. Doble’s bay mare. Maggie, Mr. Lyon’s chestnut gelding Danlel-'T, Willetts and Mr, Borst’s brown mare Lady Dréw, all green before this season; and to their credit be it said they made one of the most remarkable races on record for horses of their class. Six heats were trotted, the first five of which Were in the thirties, and the sixth in 2:41. THE HORSES, Lady Wells, the winner of the race, is a brown Mare of fine proportions, with an easy and elastic galt, a very long strider, and posscases that stead ness which is of so much value in a trotter., She is @ Bashay, sired by a son of Long Island Black Hawk, her dam being bya son of Mambriuo. This is her second victory in one week. i ‘Topsawyer is a very finely made horse, showing & great deal of good blood, but his pedigree is un- known. He is good sized, stylish, rangy and has a free way of going, but he seems somewhat amiss, thongh not lame, in his fore fect, Frank Morgan wassired by Old Columbus, out of Boston Girl, a very fast trotter, and is possessed of @ great many of the of hisdam, He is @ well made, com} little horse, and is no doubt of a greater rate of speed than he exhib- fed yesterday when in con which was not the case in the present trot. He is a chestnut, with white stockings behind and a stripe down tlie face. Maggie is of unknown orlgin.

He has all the characteristics of the Bashaw family, and if his color was simi- lar he would be the brototy e of his grand- sire. He is @ dark chestnut ith four white legs and @ white face. This horse was withdrawn after the first Heat, the excitement of a race bein; too great for him as hy yy he is only five years ol and not accustomefl e track. Lady Drew is a daughter of the Massachusetts horse Hiram Drew, who was a capital trotier and the aire of a number of good horses. She is a fine sized "| Mare and a rapid trotter, but rather unsteady at the present time. She won two heats in this race ver cleverly, but was distanced on account of her wild- ness in breaking, and more than the judges deemed within the Evrsing. A little more ex- rules. perience will be of service to her in settling her nerves, THE BETTING. Lady Wells waea favoriic in the pools before the start, but after the first heat Lady Drew sold in the pools for more than all the others combined. The second heat being won by Lady Wells, she again was in favor and sold for three to one asainst the field. Lady Drew winning the third heat then sold for more than all the others; but losing the fourth heat, Lady Wells again went to the head of the list, where sie continued to tie end. THR RACE.
