Lonpon, August 31, 1872. The Livingstone-Stanicy mystery, as it is now beginning to be called, seems to have latterly taken on a new phase. ‘The continued restrictions and badgering of a portion of the English press, evidently working in the interest of certain members of the Royal Geographical Society, have at last resulted In @ declaration of open war on the part of Mr, Stanley, ‘who in a savage letter to the 7rlegraph a day or two ago, stated his opinion in no very complimen- tary terms that the Royal Geographical Soctety | own markét for it, ‘were far less interested in aiding and succoring Livingstone than in getting his geographical dis- Mttle is known tous.” The existence of these two conflicting interests is pointed out by Mr. Stanley in his letter to the wh of 27th oO is 3 Dr. Living- tone no dealings with the Royal aaa body, and refuses them state Of affairs, suppress thal of his corre- spondence which betrays it, and delade the mano that Dr. Livingstone is acting in unison with them, and approves of them and there course of " BRASONS FOR LIVINGSTONB'S RETIOBNOR.

Dr, Livingstone also states, in @ letter sent throu, ‘ivate friend, that he wishes 6, to prevent any one from com- ing after him and “cutting him out” in finding the Nile sources, In justice to his impending old age, and to the requirements of his family, he ta keep- ing in reserve the capital which his labors have accumulated (sore ashe and, peek minera- logical knowledge—though he ts not well versed in mineralogy) tui the time shall come for realization ofthe same in the shape oi literature.

We now begin to understand the reason of the continued incredulity and enmity of a certain por- tion of the English press regarding Mr. Stanley, and ‘we can begin to form some idea of the low cunning ‘which has characterized the proceedings of certain of these learned quidnuncs, both in England and the Continent, who, taking their ease in their com- fortable studies like Sir Henry Rawilnson, or drivel- Ung over their pipes and beer, like the would-be German savant Kiepert, pretend to know more about the interior of Africa than Livingstone and Stanley, The following letter, addressed to the editor of the Standard, will enable tho reader to lorm some opinion of the relations between Dr. Livingstone and the Royal Geographical Society :— THE VEIL OF MYSTERY which still surrounds the proceedings of Dr. Liv- ingstone, and the motives for tain actions on the part of the NEw York HERALD and Royal Geo- graphical Search Expeditions, m to a certain extent, be pierced by a careiul mination of the relations iu which the African tr lier stands, not only tothe government at home, but also to the Royal Geographical Society. DE, LIVINGSTONS’S RELATIONS WITH THE BRITISH FOREIGN OFFIC His present relations to the Forelgn OMce are widely different from those under which he last explored the Zambesi. That last expedition was undertaken with the full sanction and support of home authorities. Dr. Livingstone had brought home te oy accounts of the naviga- bie qualities of the Zambesi; of the Maka- lolo tribe berning for conversion to Christianity; of natural cotton fields wasting their sweetness in solitudes, In high bopes of promoting the cause of Christianity and of commerce t ambesi expedi- tion was organized by government. Gunboats were provided, and a band of scientific draughtsmen and engineers—Dr, Kirk, Messrs. Baines aud Thornton and Captain Beddingiield—appointed to co-operate with him. That expedition, except in geographical Giscovery, proved a failure, At the outset a bar ‘was discovered at the mouth of the Zambesi that greatly impeded the progress of the gunbeats, and as the expedition proceeded up the country the Ma- kalolo were found to have disappeared, driven away or destroyed by local enemies, and the ex- ‘pected cotton fields proved to be scanty patches of an inferior growth, valueless for the market.

We can also surmise tle contents of - THE SEALED PACKET sent by him through Mr. Stanley to his daughter, and not to be opeved till his return or death. For a similar reason we trace his objection to continu- ing his Lualaba discoveries with even Mr, Stanicy, he contenting himself and soothing that gentiec- man’scuriosity by a brief tour along the northern en< of Tanganyika and Rusizi. From this same cause his reports are now 80 meagre and contain very little more than we already knew from his letters from Bangowolo in July, 1868, After Mr. Stanley had re- lieved him some dole of in‘ormation was but due, and this he compiled, probably with the assistance of his companion, which accounts in that case for the “Americanisms” of diction which had induced many readers unjustly to question their authen- ticity. DORS NOT WANT (O-EXPLORERS. We may even now doubt whether he has not thrown the public upon a wrong scent as to his next research, lest co-oxplorers suould follow in his trail. Possibly Mr. Stanley knows more of his intentions, is cognizant of his grievances, and of the cause of his reticence of informacion to the world, Curiously, in the coiumns of a contempor- ary, Mr. Stanley refers to a telegram sent by Licu- tenant Dawson to the Royal Geographical society from Zanzibar, via Bombay, in which he is made to say that “Livingstone is determined to stay two years longer, in order to discover some under- ground viilages at Rua;” and Mr. Staniey denies that he gave such information to Lieutenant Daw- son. He is correct. LIEUTENANT DAWSON’S TRLEGRAM, which was really that “underground villages next occupy Livingatone’s attention,” and wiicn did not mention Rua, was based upon iniormation obtained from Mr, Stauley’s advanced guard, who arrived before him, and who (probably more behind the scenes than the outside world are now as to Liv- ingstone’s intentions) let the cat out of the bag be.ore their mouth3 were stopped. They wero pet date away next day, and when the English expedition sought for them to interrogate them further they could not be found, The addendum of Rua, as the locality of these villages has been sub- sequently appended to the original telegram, founded, no doubt, upon Dr, Livingstone's mention of @ rumor about “a ings tribe of Troglodytes with excavations thirty miles in and @ ries rill passing along entire street.” his passage occurs in a letter Sir B. Frere, dated July, 1863, It is also possible that Mr. Stanley may havo had, beside his wish to serve the interests of his friend, further reasons for thus throwing obstacles in the path of any who might wish to follow him up. If Dr. Livingstone, as he ts most fully and mor- ally justified in doing, is hoarding for the benetit of himself and his family THE FRUITS OF TIS UNPAID TOIL, he may not be indisposed to treat for the sale of his geographical notes to an immediate bidder, If some such proposal has passed hetween himselfand Mr. Stanley, and is pending ratification, we can un- derstand that it was to the interest doubly of Mr, Stanley to keep at bay interlopers who might spoil the market; and, for aught we know, ‘Ihe Water- shed and Troglodytes of Central Africa, by David Livingstone,” may first burst upon the world through the medium of a New York publisher, CONDUCT THE LIVINGSTONE RELIEF BXPEDITION.

WHY THE RELIEF EXPEDITION WAS ABANDONED. Apart from the question of the convoy of sup- plies—if Dr, Livingstone was in need of taem—Mr. Oswell Livingstone had family motives for wishing to join his father, and it will be no unfair revelation of private affairs to state that one primary reason was to obtain from his father authority to make use all the salary he was to expect ior his office of | of certain funds which he had so locked up as to be “Consul,” aud that no more would tn future be sliowed him.

However, till he received intimation from Mr. stanley of the further sum of £1,000, which fused, had subsequentiy, through the Sir R. Murchison, been voted him by the government, to “enable him to complete his discoverics and to ‘return home,” he had received no further recozui- tion of his services, and no hope of any tinal re- quital for the time and Iubor spent in research. , The same principle of non-recoguition wa: ‘strongly displayed by the Admiralty, with refe ence to the Royal Geographical Society Seare Expedition. On previous occasions Airican e3 lorers in the “services,” such as Colonel Grant, aptains Speke and Durton, Dr. Barth, Gunner, Young, Captain Beddingtield, had drawn full pay while thus engaged, and been ailowed to count such time as service. On the resent occasion the precedent was abandoned; Aeutenant Dawson was placed on lali-pay before Jeaving, and both he and Lieutenant Henn re an intimation that their period of avsencve not be ailowed to countas “sea time.” That Dr, Livingstone bitterly feels his unrecognized position has been manifested. “Unsalaried as 5 acribes himself to Mr, Stanley, aud hn would like, and thinks that he deserves, ‘ote Jump sum or pension in remuneration for his labors, to provide jor his own old age and for the necessities of his family. DR. LIVINGSTONE’S NELATIONS WITH GEOGRAPHICAL, SOCIETY.

Asa matter of fagt there is anything but jarmony between Dr. Livingstone aud the Koyal Geographical Society as a body. Though emong them he acknowledges diygrs valued personal friends, he disciaims distinctly ay relation me the society as a body. it is worthy of note that not ane of his letters during this last expedition has been addressed to that society a8 a Lody, bat only | al friends, ond Further, ina lett privately to individu: rom him to Lovd Cl ‘weolo, July, 1888, whi the report of the Loyal letter js incorporated covraphical Soviety, there 4g a curious hiatus, thus pubilehed he Royal Geographical s Certain intue ve kept part of this Kground, However, we can supply the sen 1 omitted in the Teport of the Royal Geogr Soctety, so doing throw light, not upon their rea- sons for suppressing it, upon the general relations Oi Dr, Livingstone with the Royal Geo- graphical Society. itis to the eieet that his geo- graphical hotes are not to fall ito the Nands of the ‘oyal Geographical society, that tiey have been “desecrated” on previous occasions to suit the views of individuais; and that when he demanded the reason why lic was only replied to by a “giggle.” This omitted sentence tmmediately fol lows that published portion in which Dr. Living. stone lays stress upon the accuracy of his surveys and quotes the testimony of sir J. Macleay, As. tronomer Royal to the Cape Observatory; of Mr. ‘Manp, his Assistant Astronomer; and of the late Lord Ellesmere, as to his accuracy, From this we on! may deduce that he is hurt that the accuracy of | | his levels and longtitudes has been douly by certain members of tie koyal ¢ gee Society, and that they have een “corrected” and “doctored” at home, to coincide with home theories or explorations of | other travellers. Mr. Staniey, perhaps, taking his cue from this grievance, imparted 10 him by his companion in Central Africa, speaks in the Same strain when he inveighs against the theories of What he styles “easy-chi josed to the jacts discovered in person by travel- ers, ‘There are evidently TWO INTERESTS AT WORK IN THE ROYAL GEOGRA- PHIGAL sccrkTy— ‘one, of Dr. Livingstone's personal friends, who primarily va.ue his weliare; the other, of information than jor himself, who are disappointed ‘at his reticence and cager to pry into his hidden Aiscoveries.

The village of ‘Trim- belle is in Pierce county, Wisconsin, Roarly oppo- site Red Wing, Minn., and the Lem) family lived upon a farm of 160 acres, five miles distant from the village. He was @ hard-working man, respected by his neighbors, while the wile pursued the even tenor of her way, and gradually won gen- eral esteem by her Christian deportment, and eventually became conspicuous for her ready as- sistance in all cases of sickness and ber officient works in all religious enterprises, being a member of the Methodist Bpiscopal Church and, to use the language of our inigrmant, ‘one of its most active workers in the township of Trimbelle.” Some time before the death of Mr. Lamb, it is alleged, upon good authority, that tie wife expressed a strong desire to have @ portion of the land set apart amd con- veyed to her by doed; but the husband objected, and disagreements ensued. These finally became 80 serious that the husband was induced to trans- fer to the wife and to be owned in her Individual right about two hundred dollars’ worth of personal roperty, and the feud was considered at an end. The fanily affairs of the Lambs continued without change or striking event until tho DEATH OF CHAUNOBY 8. LAMB, the husband, which occurred on the 18th of Sep- tember, 1571, He had just gone into his corn field and begun work when he was seized with some singular malady, His arms lost the power of re- sponding to the will, Le fell to the ground and was soon alterwards a corpse—the victim of heart discase, according to the testimony of the wife and neighborhood, and the widow received the sincere 8 mpathy of the community in her sudden ailic- on. THE STORY OF CARR—AN ATTEMPT AND FATLURE. Some time alter the death of Mr, Lam) the widow became a frequent visitor at the house of H. Q. Carr, of Trimbelie, and Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Lamb became intimate iriends, the widow being no less an admirer of the good qualities of Mr. Carr, In course of time the two women had occasion to walk out together, and during the interview Mrs. Lam» esserted that sie had recently been at | Red Wing, and there she had con- sulted a fortune teller, who had informed her that sie was soon lose a doar friend, and that she (Mrs, Lamb) would eventually marry the husband’ ot the aear friend who was about to be in articwlo mortis. The infereuce was so plain and the prediction so directly applica- ble to Mra. Carr that the lady repelled the cheerlul prospect and prophecy instanter, and she ciosed the conversation with the suggestive words :—“‘hirs, Lamb, lam not going to die,” The circumstance was related to Mr. Carr upon the return of his wife. His suspicions were aroused, but by mutual coi sent they made no public reference to the matter, and the friendly relations between the widow and wile were maintained without marked interrup- tion until a few days alterward, when Mrs, Carr dropped into Mrs, Lamb's house, and at the invita. tion of the latter sat down to tea A cup was handed Mra, Carr by the hoste: and upon taking @ swallow an intensely bitter taste was noticed, Mra, Carr suspected nothing wrong, but remarked that the tea was too strong for her, aud arose to pour it back into the Vessel irom which it nad been poured by Mrs. Lamb. The latter grasped the cup from tho hand of Mrs, Carr and threw the contents out of tne window. Mrs, Curr returned home, and was soon seized with violent pains in the stomach, sp.smodic movements of the muscles of the arms, throat and jaws, She tried to vomit, and while doing so the jaws were closed so that the skin was torn trom the finger while in pro- cess of removal. Succeeding finally m ojecting the contents of the stomach, Mrs, Carr’s life was saved, but the suspicions of both Carr and his wife being fully aroused in regard to a horrible possibility, further relations between the families were closed at once and forever, though the Carrs dared not express their fears. It was kept a perfect secret until other events culminated in a revelation the accumulated horrers of which are alinost without a parallel and entirely beyond description, THE WINTER PASSED, Mrs. Lamb remaining quietly upon her farm, attend- ing to her duties a8 usual, and bestowing such at- tentions upon the sick that~she was regarded a8 a rural Samaritan by those stricken down with disease and those who had un opportunity to witness her nk, charitable tuypuises and kindly actions, After the Spring opened she called the attention of neighbors to the condition oi one or more of ler children, and advised them repeat | edly that there was something WRONG WITH THEIR HEARTS, although the neighbors fatied to detect any out- d mani aona of impeted action and the | lren appeared as well as usual, They accepted her word, ana presumed that the heart dimcuity from which the father had died had been entailed upon the children, A ERADICTION AND DEATH, In May last Mrs. Lamb claimed to be distressed by apprehensions of some calamity in her family, and the “calamity” came, Orrin 3, Lamb (cailed Don), a son only 13 years of age and a favorite, wi called juto the house by the mother while he was engaged at play with another lad named Sears, Both walked in and Orrin was given some bread and milk, Which he objected to eating, saying it | tasted bitter. The mother tol! him he must eat it, | as she had put somo worm medicine in it. He abe considerable of it, and as Sears was calmly allowed to taste it, but not liking its flavor he passed it back. Poor Orrin died in half an hour, and young Sears was oppressed with symptoms of sickness which he described as feeling ‘vad at the stomach and could hardiy keep bis legs on the ground.” But he folly recovered. This transac- tion and death occurred on the 24th of May last, and ia due time the little boy was buried. AND Ysr ANOTHER. Shortly the mother expressed fears In regard to | her daughter, Sarah A.

She was re- turned to the Elisworth Jalil yesterday morning in charge of Constable Mason, where she will remain until the day of trial in November, as there is no prosrect that any iriond will intercede in her behalf, the simple trutn is that the sudden and horrifyin: revelations of the ret few days have paralyze every friendly impulse in the hearts of her neigh- bors aud acquaintances, and so protouna is the conviction of her enormous guilt that she would undoubtedly be shot or kitled without mercy imme- diately upon her reappearance at her old ome, PERSONAL APPEARANCE. Mrs. Charlotte Lamb's personal appearance is a ditlicult thing to describe accurately Ln all particu. lars. Sho is about thirty-six years of age, and married Mr, Lamb eighteen years ago, She is of medium height, heavy bodied and of a masculine appearance, with a slight beard perceptible on her chin, Hi air is dark, eyes gray, sina!l and keen. Her complexion is sallow; she has a receding and low forchead, and the lower portion of her iace is heavy and projecting. Durtag her stay at kiver Falls dressed in mourning, and was closely veiled when starting for her dreary home in the Ellsworth prison, She has made no statement of her guilt or innocence, and is probably under in- structions to keep her later life a sealed book, and her lips as dumb as those of her innocent victims decaying in their graves. Concerning her FORMER MISTORY but little is known, and that little is not calculated to allay the suspicion that her past life may have been criminal also, Sho was the second wile of Mr. Lamb, and had been an inmate of his family before the death of his first, who ts reported to have died suddenily, as did a young woman to whom he after- wards bscame attentive and before his marriage with the subject of this sketch, Further informa- jon in regard to this wholesale poisoner will be looked ior with interest, Comparison with the de- stroying Duchess of Ferrara will be omitted. She had kiudly maternal instincts, culture and educa- t.on, Charlotte Lamb does not seem possessed of either ot them—only brutal cunning determination or mania. THE REVISION OF POSTAL RATES. ——__+__—_. Whom the Boubi'ng of Letter Dues Mostly Af fects- The Public To Be Punished for Care- less Bosting of Missives—Love and Lucre the Greatest Incentives in Letter Writing. For many years, tn fact since the early youth of Uncle Sam, the greatest trouble to his servants in the mail service has been the carelessness of the public in the sending of letters and other missives through the post. The bother thus originated has given employment to avery large number of attach¢s whose labors might otherwise be dispensed with, and thus cause so much less expenditure from the national coffers and the pocacts of the people, The Post Office has never been what Yankces could call “g paying institution,” even in the good old days when it cost twenty cents to send a hatf-ounce of manuscript a score of miles. To support the cheap system of letter carriage now in vogue has required a constant drain on the funds of the Department over and above its earnings; and while various de- signs have been proposed, none have been found practicable enough to remedy THE CHRONIC RVIL. The present head of the Department in Washing- ton, however, bas originated some determined measures Which scem, at least, of such a character asto attain the end of economy, As faras they aifect the convenience of the pubitc there are two lights upon the subject. It was hinted yesterday that the poorer clesses could ill afford to pay double ratea of postage on letters which they may receive fers However, these classes—the great ma- jority of the people—are not greatly addicted to the habit of voluminous correspondence, and hence, since afiinities exist ofteneat between pérsons of similar positions in business an: society, they are not Likely to be heavily burdened by the payment of doubled postage on unprepaid letters, No letter is received at any Post Office without at least one stamp on its cover, so that wher it reaches its des- tination only a weight exceeding one-half oun: would require the extraordinary compensation for carriage. Poor people write few business communt- cations, few love-letters, and perhaps they write most letters of fvmillar affection. wig ran oi LETTERS, The class which wiil he, therefore, most affected by the altered rule of the Post Office Department i: that composed of the rich nd commerviai Meéii o1 the country, who can a/ford the additional expouse.

SNOW-BALL MELEE IN JULY. Camp UNITED STATES GHOLOGICAL SURVEY, August 1, 1872, } After leaving Fort Hall, from where I wrote you last, our little party of five, consisting of Dr. Curtis, two soldiers, “Shep” Madeira (our guide), and your correspondent, trailed the main party tor 130 miles, accomplishing the march in four days. Our route lay over a level country, until reaching the north fork of Snake River, after the fording of which we proceeded over @ fine rolling country, the hillsides being occasionally covered with a growth of “quak- ing aspens’—an unusual and gratoful sight in con- trast to the mountain pines, the predominant tim- ber of this region. Many were the pleasant talks as our sipall party gathered round the camp fire—the Doctor, just from the States, telling of the stirring events from civilized parts, news wel- come as coming from home and yet seeming almost unreal, alternating as they did with the tales of wild adventure of mountain life related by our guide, We found the Survey encamped at the en- trance of the canyon leading up to the Tetons. Itis @ beautiful location, the green hills shutting in the valley on either side, with the snow-bound range closing in and forming the background, together with the sharp granite peaks piercing the clouds, rising above all, and forming a scene grand beyond description, The camp itself is picturesque, the white tent and files dotting the green valley, to- gether with the Indian jepee of our guide and bowers of pine branches improvised by the boys. Haunches of bear and moose can be seen suspended to the trees or hung in long strips over poles, being cured in the sun for future use. Such was the pic- ture that spread before us as we rose over the hill approaching our destination. The mail distributed to the eager recipients and the supplics deposited with the commissarry, we were DINED ON BEAR STAKES, the first fresh meat we had eaten for two weeks, and were content to rest the following day under the cool shade after our long ride, Saturday, July 27, was spent in organizing and fitting out the party for the great event of the Summer, the at- tempt to scale the highest of the Teton peaks, and your correspondent congratulated himself on his arrival the day before, enabling him to form one of the adventurous band. The next morning tho party of fourteen set out from camp, James Stevenson, lute Captain United States Army, in command; Professor Bradley, Geologist; Mr. Tag- gart, assistant; Mr, Beckler, Topographer; Mr. Hamp, assistant; Mr. Coulter, Botanist; Mr. West, Meteorologist; Mr. Langford, ex-Governor of Montana and Superintendent of the Yellowstone National Park; Dr. Curtis, Dr. Reagles, Messrs. Adams, Spencer, Keyser and Sherman. We followed the canyon for nine miles, winding in and out among the pines, crossing streams and quagmires, gradually rising all the time. As we proceeded into the Forse the scenery became more rugged. The bounding hills gave place to walls of pecpenaianlay anite rising 2,000 feet above us, laid bare by detrition, The streams became broken ' into cascades, their never-ceasing roar breaking the quiet ofthe scene, Reaching a point beyond which it was impossible to take the horses, we rested, and after dinner the writer, with an- other member of the ty, ascended a mountain some three thousand feet above where we were, a8 a break-in for the morrow’s task. It well repaid us, and the view gave usa foretaste of what was. realized the nextday, The sides of the canyon were lined with snow, and the foaming stream coursed below, swelled by the drippil ‘om the “Aibion heights.” We continued our cilmb till a chasm 200 feet Impeded our progress, and the setting sun warned us to return. SNOWBALL FIGHT IN JULY. We found some of the boys engaged in a snow- ball fight—a curious amusement for the 28th ofJuly. At halt-past four the next morning tho party were aroused by the cold, the thermometer showing a minimum of twenty degrees Fahrenheit, and one hour later we had taken up tie line of march, each one having selected a stout staff to assist his climbing and_provided himself with two slices of bread tuterlitted with a slice of bacon for his noon- day repast. We continued up, the canyonsome two miles, climbing over fallen timber till reaching a ravine, atfording & means of ascent, we bore up its declivity, scrambling over the rocks. Here the first halt was made, @ vast sca of snow covered the between us and the first ridge, rometers were quickly read and showed an elevation of 9,000 feet above sea level. Pipes tollowed, and as we rested preparing for the crossing of the stretch of snow, we contemplated the scene below us, We were now above the plateaus that crowned the walls of the canyon we had leit, aud as far as the eye could reach huge ficlds of snow glistened under the rising sun, TRULY ALPINE IN CHARACTER.

H. Ripley the Winner. The trotting race commenced on Tuesday after. noon between W. H. Ripley, Lady Shotwell, Eve- line and Norwood was conciuded yesterday by Rip- ley winning the sixth heat, Eveline having won the fifth, It will be remembered that Lady Shotwell won the first two heats of the race and W. H. Rip- ley the third and fourth, when darkness came on and the trot had to be postponed until yesterday afternoon. People began to muster at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds soon after noon, and at the hour named for the contest to be resumed all who had money on the race were in attendance, The pool seller sold a few more pools on the event, with the stallion the favorite at two to one over the fleld. W. H. Ripley won the race, but not until Eveline had won a heat, If Lady Shotwell trotted Ker best yesterday she is not a mare for a campaign. But it looked very much like as if her driver “had seen @ man” during tho night, as little or no effort waa made to win. The following are the details of the two heats that were trotted yesterday, with a full summary of the race:— THE POSTPONED RACE OF TUESDAY. Fith Heat,—Ripley had tie best of the send-off, Shotwell second, Norwood third, Eveline fourth, the latter having broken up as the word was given. Norwood went to the front around the turn, Rip- ley breaking up. At the quarter pole, which was passed in forty seconds, Norwood led two lengths, Eveline second, three lengths in advance of Lady Shotwell, who was six lengths ahead of Ripley, the latter having broken badly again, There was no change of position for two hundred yards; but them Eveline went to the front and led one length at the half-mile pole in 1:1914, Lady Shotwell second, one length ahead of Norwood, who was four lengths in front of Ripley. Lady Shotwell and Eveline trot- ted head and head to the three-quarter pole, and they came yoked into the homestretch, but then Lady Shotwell broke up, and Eveline came on and won the heat by a length, Ripley second, half a length in front of Lady Shotwe' lengths ahead of Norwood. Time of the heat 2:37. Sixth Heat.—The start was a good one. around the upper turn: Eveline went to the fron Ripley second, Lady Shotwell third. Ripley an Eveline then collided, without injury to either, and they trotted head and head to the quarter pole, im thirty-nine and a quarter seconds, On the back- stretch Eveline drew away from Ripley and led one length to the half-mile pole, in 1:1734, Lady Shot- well one length behind. ly Shotwell then broxe up, and that was the last of her in the race. Going down the lower stretch Eveline and her sire, Rip- ley, were side and side, and they passed the three- uarter pole yoked. Coming up the homestretch Eveline broke up, and Ripley came home a winner by halfa length, making heat im 2:35%. ‘The following is a SUMMARY. PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS, Sept. 10 and 11.
