~ RBNTUCKY: ASSOCIATION Fifth Day of the Spring Meeting. RACING IN THE RAIN. Heavy Track, but Well Con- tested Events. Elsie the Winner of the Mile Heats and Flor- ence 1, the Selling Race, Lexincron, Ky., May 17, 1872, A delucing ratn visited us this morning and the mua end rire were fetlock deep on the track, mak- tag 4, of course, terribly heavy and slfppery, and putding out the question of fast time. Postpone- mized here, and the races came off at the appointed ‘Ume.in the storm. ‘There were no ladies on the Grand Stand, but that assigned to the sterner sex was well filled. The racing clement is too tough in the bine Brass country to be deterred from witnessing their favorite sport bocause of a storm. The appearance Of the Jockeys after a heat was grotesque in the extreme, their beautilul silk jacketsand caps being all of a color, and it was impossible to distinguish One from the other. The races were well contested 8nd afforded great sport to the spectators, THE MILE EATS, The first race was mile heats, for a purse of $209, for which there were five entries, These were %. W.

The weather being fair in the afternoon the attendance did not diminish, The meeting closes to-morrow with three races, FLEETWOOD PARK. Mateh of $400 Between Fanny Lambert and Topsy—Fanny the Winncr—The “Knowing Ones” Disappointed. A very interesting mateh between two well known trotters was decided at Fleetwood yeste! cay, the contestants being Wm. Lovell’s bay mare Topsy and J. Dugrey’s brown mare Fanny Lam- bert. It was for $200a side, and the conditions mnile heats, best three in five, in harness, Outside of the Immediate friends of the owners and drivers the affair created but little excitement, and the at- tendance, in consequence, was limited. The char- nature that throughout there was much enthusiasm evinced, and the majority of the visitors left the ground well satisfied with the day’s sport. Before the horses were called to the score Topsy was the favorite at odds of $75 to $45, and it was evident that this estimation of her trotting abill- ties was caused by the capitat race she gave Grace Bertram on Tuesday last, After she won the first heat, the betting was about $100 to $15 on her, and at the close of the second heat, which she lost, $63 to $28 in her favor, But once again the “knowing ones” were decetved as Fanny outfootea her big opponent and won the race after five heats were trotted, the fourth being adead heat. The follow- ing are the deta‘ First Heat.—Fanny Lambert won the pole and they got away on even terms, At the quarter, in fovty and one-half seeonds, Topsy was dancing in the airand Fanny leading three lengths, Becoming steady on tie backstretch Topsy trotted rey prettily, reducing the gap to one length at the halt mile pole in 1:183¢. From this point sho over- hauled Fanny at every stride, and though the little mare was do! excellent work Topsy came in the winner by ane length. Time 2:38, Second Heat.—Topsy’s friends were in good Spirits and buying pools freely. The send-off was excellent, but on the turn Topsy showed in front and at the quarter pole, in thirty-nine and a half seconds, was one length In ad- vance, Along the backstretch she increased this advantage, and at the half mile—in 1:153,—was two lengths ahead, Ascending the hill on the far side Fanny put on an additional pressure of steam, and at the three-quarter pole had almost shut ap the daylight. Swinging into the homestretch she was on even terms with Topsy, and, after an ex- citing struggle, Fanny went under the wire the winner by ahead, Tiine, 2:35. Thtra Heat,—the word was given to an excellent start, and at the quarter—in thirty-nine seconds— Fanny led a length. Leaving this point Topsy left her feet, and at the half-mile—in 1:16—was five lengths in the rear. Up the hill she trotted in good style, materially reducing Fanny's lead, and, though making great exertions for the victory, Fanny went under the wire the winner by a length, amid the cheers of her friends, "Mme, 2:57, Fourth Heat.—Lombert stock was much above par. ‘They went away head and head, but on the turn Topsy asstiined command, and at the quarter— in thirty-nine seconds—was one length in front, This she retained to the half mile, in 1:15, and, alded by Fanny’s breaking at the hill, increased it to two lengths at the head of the stretch, but Lam- bert took issue with her near the draw gate, and they passed to the stand head and head, The Judges decided it a dead heat. ‘Time, 2:33 34. Fish Heat,—Lambert was the favorite seven to one, They got away evenly, and after a heat dis- playing exgellent judgment on the part ol the drivers and Tasting qualities by the horses, Fanny came home the winner of the Heat and race by a head, The quarter was made in thirty-nine seconds, the half in 1:16} and the mile in 2:3534.

HORSE NOTES, Wednesday morning of this week Mr, Bonner’s young stallion Startie, who was only five years old on the idth inst., driven by Mr. George Hopkins, trotted half a mile on Fleetwood Park in the mar- vellous time of 1:04}g. This is the fastest half mile by two seconds ever made in harness on Fleetwood by any horse of any age. Indeed, it is the fastest haif mile by two seconds ever made anywhere by any horse except Dexter, who once trotted half a mile in exactly the same time. Startle was timed by Mr. Thomas Carpenter, of Hartford, Mr. Gillen- der, Mr, McGowan and other gentieman, On Fri- day last he trotted a full mile on Prospect Park in 2:19, when he was timed by Commodore Dodge and Mésare.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. The Two Thousand Cuineas Stake. Victory of a ‘‘Roarer”—Exciting Struggle—Over- throw of the Bookmakers—Betting on the Derby—The Value of the Stake. Loxpoy, May 2, 1872. The Newmarket “first spring’ mecting is 80 ealled on the lucus @ non Tucendo principle, because it ip held for the most part in summer, just as the “second spring,” held a fortnight hence, is so styled because it does not take place in spring at all, Cer- tainly, if the weather of this week had been chosen to supply the title, we should have thought of the hot, sultry afternoons of July or August, for the sun beat down on us with almost tropical heat from a sky which did not show a cloud to proteet us from its rays. Never, perhaps, did the famous heath look more beautiful, and never, perhaps, was the racing, which was of high quality, more heartily enjoyed, ‘There was a change this year, as there will be henceforward, in the date of the principal event— the Two Thousand Guineas—for while from time immemoria!—that is to say, from about the com- mencement of the century, when It was founded—it has been run on Tuesday, it was now transferred, by order of the Jockey Club, to the following day, ‘The Treason for the alteration was, that the former ar- rangement led to a great deal of travelling on Monday, which interfered with the process of ‘set- tling’’—so important to the proper conduct of turf affairs, Many people were, however, !gnorant of the change, and travelled down to Newmarket on ‘Tuesday in the firm bellef that they were about to witness the struggle for one of our most important three year-old stakes, Of these the Two Thousand is the first, the next being the Derby, at Epsom, and the last the St. Leger, at Doncaster. The attend- ance yesterday was, perhaps, the largest ever seen on Newmarket Heath, which 1a, however, of such vast extent that acrowd of 10,000 persons almost seems @ hand({ul on its surface, All the leading sup- porters of the turf were present; hundreds of bookmakers thundered out the cdds from the ring, and there was an immenee turn out of the general public, THR CANDIDATES, for the great race were on this occasion fourteen in number, which is about the average strength of the fleld. Mr. Joseph Daavson’s colt Prince Chartie, who started first favorite, has for the past fortnight been at the head of wie quotations, having dis- placed from that position Baron Rothsehild’s Labur- hum, who was thon defeated in the Newmarket Biennial. His ‘form’? was the most brilliant of last season for he won two of our ciief two-year old contests, the Middle Park Plate and the Crite- rion Stakes In the most eplendid style, He would have been favorite throughout the winter but for the fact that he became a “roarer’—an affliction which many supposed to be fatal to his chance, for the race had never before been won by any such animal except Idas, though several had gained “places,” notably Mr, Merry’s representatives, Lid- dington and Belladrum, He is one of the most beau- tiful horses in training, and he was brought out in brilliant condition. The people of Newmarket where he is trained, scouted the idea of his being beaten, despite his “roaring,” and backed him almost toaman, Cremorne, who Is trained at the same place, and had also undergone a capital pre- aration, Wasone of the hardest worked colts of last season, and one of the most successful, for he won uine out of eleven races for which he started, and among these were many of our icading two- year old contests. He was beaten for the Prince of Wales Stakes at York by Onslow, but then he had for some time previous been “indulged,” and in the Criterion Stakes he was defeated by both Prince Charlie and Nuneiiam, but he was conceding three pounds to each, and was besides periectly stale after & long carcer of running. Laburnam ran thrice last season and never won arace; but he had finished second to Nuncham at the Newmarket Second Spring last year, second to Cremorne in the Woodcote at Epsom, and. second to Prince Charlie in the Middle Park Plate. He wag beaten easily inthe Biennial at Newmarket a fortnight £0 yy Almoner and Xanthus, but many aid not lieve in that running, notably Baron Rothschild, and the colt started an equal favorite with Almoner, Queen's Messenger, who, like Prince Charlie and Cremorne, had not appeared this scason, ran thrice successfully in the last but generally in rather moderate vee and the public, as a rule, would not take S him, Statesman and Wenlock, who started at. comparatively short prices, had never distinguished themselves, but Mr. Grabem’s repre- sentative—Helmet—although a “rogue,” had per- formed very fairly as a@ two-year old, as lad also Bethnal Green, who, at Doncaster, defeated Onslow the conqueror of Cremorne, None of the others ‘was considered of any importance, for though Xan- thus had beaten Laburnum, as already referred to, he had disgraced himself in the oe nd Suburban.

Some of the principal candidates, including Prince Charlie, were saddled in the “Birdcage,” an enclosure next the Cesarewitcn stand, and on issning forth to canter down to the post were ac- companied by an immense cavateade of horsemen and horsewoinen, who fairly mobbed them, The toilets of some of the others, such as Cremorne, Queen's Mi ger and Helmet, were put to rights atthe stables near the starting post. Some litt time was occupied in clearing the course of t Were seni offin very good order. For about a hundred yards the great line, stretching across the course, was unbroken, except by the retirement of Ligh house, who, though the pace was very slow and “muddling,” could not Keep up with the others, At that point, Queen's Messenger, lying in the centre, went to the front—althongh he is a very slow horse, his nearest attendants being Bethnal Green, States- man and Almoner on his leit, while further out on the same side were Xanthus, Wellingtonia, King Lud and Wenlock. On the right Cremorne was most prominent, lying about a length in front of Prince Charlie, and behind the latter, but further out, were Helmet and Laburnum. The pace was so poor that they were able to Keep together for some distance ; but, after about one-third of the distance, Laburnwn had had enough, and retired to keep company With Lighthouse. No other change took place until they got to the famous “Bushes’—the critical point of many a contest— about half the journey, where Xanthus, Welling- tonia and Helmet were compelled to give way. They were speedily followed by Statesman, and others dropping back, Queen's Messenger was leit just in advance of Cremorne and Prince Chariic, who, descending the “hill from the Bushes, drew up with him, For a moment Wenlock and Bethnal Green looked formidable, while King Lud, though obviously in great difficulties, also struggled on gamely. Queen's Messenger was done with as they approached the Abingdon Mile bottom at the foot of the “hill,” and then Cremorne went to the front with Prince Charlie on his wh hand, Mr. Savile's colt going so well that odds were offered on him, vith all his “roaring,” how- ever, the favorite breasted the final ascent for home, fozing ott over a victor, and his great stride soon enabled him to overcome the slight advantage which Cremorne had got over him. yey, ie is from home the Prince was a length in front; Maid- ment was compelled to call on his horse, who re- sponded 80 lantly that he sensibly diminished the distance between him and his opponents. Prince Charlie, however, had no difficulty in shaking him off, and finally won, amidst tremendous excitement, by @ neck. Queen's Messenger was t four lengths in the rear of Mr. Savile's colt, and only a head in advance of King Lud, Net value of the stakes £4,360, or $21,750, Time, 1:49. The result was & TREMENDOUS BLOW TO THE RING, who, thinking a “roarer’ could never win sucha race, laid thousands and thousands of pounds ee him, which they were unable to cover at the close, owing to the shortness of his price, He has now been made first favorite for the Derby, and we have to see whether his aMiction will interfere with him over that very trying course, Cremorne, who ran a magnificent horse, ought to have a better chance for that race, and is not much behind himin the betting, The Biennial horses, Almoner, Kan- thos and Laburnum, ran so badly that, after all, they must be very moderate animals, ‘This is the third victory of Osborne in the Two Thousand, which he won in 1869 with Pretender, in 187% with Boutweill, and now with Prince Charile. ~ \ MEXICO. ee Sentence of Death of a Captured Revolutionary Chief—His Career in the United States Army and in Mexico—Jnarez Petitioned for His Pardon—A Mexican General on the Herald Yin of Annexation, Crry or Mexico, May 1, 1872. Among the prisoners recently captured by gov- ernment forces were the brothers Carricarte and Mayer, all of whom have been sentenced to be shot, ‘They were to have been executed day before yes- terday, but owing to the intercession of friends with the President the execution was suspended, Mr, Mayer will be remembered as @ cotonel or licu- tenant colonel in the army of the United States during the late rebellion, where he conducted him- self in @ manner satisfactory to his superior officers. Upon the close of the rebeliion Colonel Mayer offered his services to the cause of the Mberal party in Mexico, which he served with gome distinction, After the fall of Queretaro and Mexico he was quar- tered with his regiment in this capital, where the Jealousy and ambition of his subordinate ofticers led to false chargea being made against him, which was at the time nearly followed by his execution.

How She Was Captured by the British War Vosse) Plover—Her Liberation and Recaptare by the United States Steamer Wyoming for Cons veyance to Key West—Is She To Be Condemned for a Filibuster? Krneston, Jamaica, May 10, 1872. The steamer Edgar Stewart arrived here on tha 14th of April under peculiar cireamstances, She cleared from New London, Conn., for Key West, but there were munitions of war on board which were not to be found on her clearance papers, and which would, had they been discovered on board prior to her leaving port, have given sufficient | ground for her detention under a charge of ylolat- ing the neutrality laws of the United States, Prior to her arrival in Jamaica she made the Island of Cuba, and her instructions were that she should not sight the Island of Cuba at all in daylight, but froma given “point, which should be shown’? her commander, and at a time which he showld be ine formed of by some one on board of her, She should then proceed In a direct line “through @ channel” at night, “so as to be seen from neither point,” This she accomplished, and LANDED A BOAT, WITH TEN ARMED MEN, but as these did not return, and as daylight was gaining upon them, the Edgar Stewart put out again to sea, but returned the following night in the hope that their missing compantons might be heard from; but thongh the steamer made signals, no boat came off, The crew (or rather the Cubans on board) then rose against the captain and took command of the steamer themselves; but sighting a Spanish gunboat in the ofing, which gave them chase, they restored the captain to his command and ran into the port of Kingston, Jamaica, at night, where she reported herself “in distress,” On ar- rival at Kingstov, having powder on board, accord- ing to harbor regulations she was not allowed to proceed farther than Fort Augusta, where all such combustible material must first be deposited. While here.the captain preferred charges of “mutiny and piracy” against those on board, and they in turn preferred CHARGES OF PILIBUSTERING against the captain, who, to make matters stil worse, stated that he apprehended that those on board would carry off his vessel, leaving him be- hind, These several declarations were forwarded to the Governor and the United States Consul, and in accordance with a law which enables the Goy- ernor of this island, on certain representations of the Collector of Customs, to detain such @ vessel pending an investigation, she was taken in charge by the naval authorities at Port Royal. These cirenmstances brought about an examina. tion, and it was found that the coal on board of the Fdgar Stewart was strongly charged with bacon and that she was capable of running sixteen knots: an hour, It now became a question with the Gov- ernor how they could deal with this vessel. Stio had reported herself “in distress,” but then there were these declarations of those on board as to tha unlawinl character of her mission, and this waa supported by the nature of her cargo, There was, therefore, considerable delay, but the government eventually decided upon LEUTING TER GO, and so informed her commander and the United States Consul, to whom she was delivered over. Meanwhile a Spanish steamer-of-war came to look after the Edgar Stewart, and, not long after her, the American steamer-of-war Wyoming, from Key West. The officers of the Her Majesty's ateamship Plover, who had been keeping @ strict watch upon the Edgar Stewort, to prevént her escape, and wha had thely guns loaded and bearing upon her day ond night, were sadly disappointed when they found they had to grant her Mberty, and still more chagrined when they found the Edgar Stewart again.captured by the captain of the United States steamer Wyoming, who put an armed crew on board has decreed the expulsion from the country in future of any priest who preaches matter of a po- litical reactionary nature.

While the Edg stewart was in charge of Het Majesty's steamship Plover the latter vessel, having just returned from a cruise off Haytl, had not aton of coal on board, and it was found dimenit to keep up the appearance of readiness. While she was absent coaling, although the Stewart had been told not to leave port, and which she might easily have done daring the night for all Her Majesty's steam- ship Plover could have done to prevent her, it was found that she was getilng up steam, The Plover, which had been shoveiling coal into the farnaces asit was being brought on board In baskets, then came up, but before she came alongside the Edgar Stewart the engineers of the latter had turhed on their hose and put out the flres; and on being charged with an attempt to escape declared they had no fires and no steam, yet the engines were so hot that the engineers of Her Majesty's steamship Plover found it impossible then to disconnect the engines, which they alterw: 3 did, to prevent any similar attempt to escape.
