WHITE WOMEN OFFERED IN TRADE. “Little Black Bear’ and “Woman’s Breast”— A Friendly Act—Local Irritations. Hovax ov Commons, } Orrawa, Canada, March 27, 1877. As asupplement to a recent letter on the Indian question in the Dominion, | forward you the following interesting official report from Sub-Inspector Denny, of the Northwest Mounted Police, As I mentioned in that letter, this body of men consists of but 300 men; yet they practically do the work of the entire Western army of the United States, and even more, for they prevent liquor traffic among the Indians, make cus- toms collections, aro arbitors betwoen the tribes in case of dispute, and, in a word, maintain order in a wild region that embraces hundreds of miles, All this at a cost of less than $350,000 a year, CANADIAN PRECAUTIONS. Is may be gaid parenthetically that in consequence of the Indians 10 whe Territory of Montana boing on- gaged during the summer in conflict with the United States troops, it was considered necessary, as a pre- cautionary measure, to inercase the force at Forts Macleod and Walsh (Cypress Hills); 100 men wore accordingly ordered there from tho northern pot Four seven-pounder guns were algo purchased {rom the Militia Department and forwarded, together with a supply of ammunition, to Fort Walsh, Two nine- pounder field guos had previously been supplied to Fort Mucleod. The massing of the force at these posts near the frontier no doubt secured tranquillity in that section of the Territory and prevented the American Indians from using Canadian soil as a base of opera- Mons for prosecuting the war with the United States troops. Tuspector Denny says:—‘According to orders to proceed to the Blacktoot camp tor the prisoner ‘Na- ‘aya,’ I left Bow River and found THE BLACKYRET tamped about thirty miles above the mouth of Red Deer River, that being about two hundred miles north- east of Elbow River, Aftor having secured the pris- oner I was detained in camp by a council called by the principal Blackfoot chiefs, who invited me to their meeting. They told mo that they were very glad we had arrived, as at that time they werein a very un- settied state, owing to communications that had passed between the Blacktoot nation, including Blood Indians and Piegans, and the Sioux from across tho ling About a month ago the Sioux sent a messago to the Blackioot camp with apiece of tobacco, which the Blackioot chief showed me, Tho messenger told the Blackfect, from the Sioux, that the tobacco was sent them to smoke if tbey were willing to come across the Hine and join the Sioux in fighting the Crow Lodians and other tribes with whom they were at war, and also the Americans whom they wero fighting at the samo time, The Sioux promised to give tho Blackfoet, if they would join them, plenty of horses aud mules they had captured from the. Americans, They also told the Biackteot that they bad . PLENTY OF WHITE WOMEN ‘whom they had taken prisoners, and they promised to give them tothe Blackfoet if they would join them. They also told the Blackfeet tbat, if they would como to help them against the Americans, after they had killed all the whites they would come over and join the Blackfeet to exterminate the whites on this side. They also told him that the soldiers on this side and that it would take them but a short ny forts that they had built bere, as they had taken many strong stone forts from the Americans atemalllosstothemselves. Tho Blacklect had sent an apswer tothe Sioux a short time before | arrived to the effect that they coald not smoke their tobacco on such terms, und that they were not willing to make peace with the understanding of helping them to fight the whites, as they wore their friends und they would not fight against them, The messenger trom the Blackfeet to the Sioux had just returned when I got to their camp with the answer the Sioux bad sent, ‘They said that, as they would not come and help them against the Americans, they would come ovor to this side and show the Blackfeet that white soldiers ‘vere notbing before them, and that atter they had EXTERMINATED THE SOLDIERS and taken their torts they would como against the Blatktect. In consequence of this message the Black- foot nation, when 1 reached their camp, were in a ‘tate of uncertainty, not knowing howto act, ‘Crow Foot,’ the bead chief of tho Blackfeot, was author. ized by the nation, all of whom were present, to ask me whether, 1m case they were attacked by the Sioux, wuhout themselves being the aggressors, and called upon us for the mounted police to help them, we would do go. 1 tola them that, in case the Sioux crossed the liue and attacked the Blackteet, without the Blackteet giving them any cause to do so, wo were bound to belp them, they bemg sabjects of this country, and having the right o! protection as wellas any otver subjects. I'bey were well ploased at wat I told them, and said that they intended always in future to be at peace with tbe whites, and particularly with us; that they saw the way we had dealt with them since we had been in tho country, aud they were sure we were their friends. The chief told me in these words; he said:—‘We ail seo that the day 1s coming when the buffalo will all be killed, and we shall have nothing more to live on, and then you will come into our camp and see the poor Bluckfect starving.’ ‘1 know,’ ho said, ‘that the heart of the white soidier will be sorry for us, and they wiil tell the Great Mother, who will not Jet her children starve.’ He said:—‘We ure getting ebut in the Crees; are coming into our country from the north and the white men from the south and east, tnd they ure ali destroying our means of living; but Bull, although we plainly see these days coming, WK WILL NOT JOIN THE SIOUX ayainst the whites, but will depend upon you to help us.’ ‘I'he chiet then told me that the Blackfeet had told him to tell mo that as we were willing to heip them, in the event of the Sioux attacking them, they ‘would, in case of being attacked, send 2,000 warriors against the Sioux. I thanked them for their offer, ond told them I would inform you of ail they had told mo, and that as jong as tuey were quiet and Penceable they would always Gnd us their iriends aud willing to do anything for their good, They expressed great satisfaction at ail | had told them, and promised todo hing without letting us first Know, and ask. Ing our advice. 1 distributed some tobacco among them, and told them to let us know of any movements Of the Sioux to the north. 1 brought the prisoner with mo without any trouble, and arrived here this day.” ‘TUE VOICE OF THK GREAT MOTHER. A copy of this report was jorwarded by the Deputy Governor to the Secretary of State for tho Colonies, from whom the fotlowing reply was received by His Excellency the Governor General :— “- have the bovor to acknowledge the receipt of the Deputy Governor's aesputch, enclosing a report of Sub-Inspector Denny, of the Northwest Mounted Police, giving au account of a recent visit to the camp of the Blackfoot Indians. I have read Mr. Denuy’s re- port with inuch interest aud have commanicuted a copy of 1t to the Queen. “Her Majesty hus communded me to instruct you to {nform the chiefs of the tribe that Her Majesty has heard, with much satistaction, of their faithful conduct and been much gratified by this evidence of ther loyalty and attochment.

LOCAL IRKITATIONS. Ono of the Indian officials stutes that the country be- tween the Cypress Hills and the Rocky Mountains, which has hitherto becn claimed by the Biackteet as their bunting ground, bas this en encroacked opon by other Indians and hail breeds, cansing much Jeritation among the Blackieet, who bave called upon the police to protect them in maintaining their rights their territory, saying thatt! they were not restrained by the presence of the police they would make war upon tne intruders. ‘The correspondence on this subject has been submitted to the Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Territories, in order that tt may receive tho consideration of the Northwest Council, it. connection with the adoption of rules for bunung and preserving the buffalo irom extinction. ‘Tho foliow! extract trom the report of the Assistant Commissioner js evi- dence of the friendly relations existing between the In- diaus and the polic FRIBNDLY RELATIONS. “1 have the honor to report, for the information of the Minister of Justice, that when I was at Cypress Hilis last week a Piegon Indian eame to Fort Walsh and reported that a Blood Indian (Woman’s Breast’) for whow | haye « warrwot for the murder of his wite hear Fort Mucieod tn the spring of 1876, was in a Cree tainp about thirty miles frown Kort Walsh. imme: dinteiy despatcied Sab-lnspector Weied, who knew the rinen to arrest wim.

(From the Saturday Review, March 17, 1877.] Tho First Lord bad yet another opportanity of prov- ing, in his own way, the efficiency of the navy and the sagacity and good judgment of the Board of Admiralty. 1 will be remembered that, on the hasty and dogmatic assertion of Captain Nares that the North Pole was impracticable, the Admiralty at once resolved to pro- claim that the expedition bid been a glorious succes, and to shower honors and promotion on those who had taken part in it. Captain Nares and bis friends have had their reward, id now the truth js coming out, Nothing, of course, can disturb Mr, Hunt's cheerfulness and self-complacency; he was gay about the Vanguard, and he seems to think Captain Nares’ tiasco another good joke. He is obliged, however, to admit that “great advantages of a scientific nature would no doubt have been obtained had the North Vole been reached, and it would have been a great triumph for the country; but, unfortunately, the ex- pedition broke down’’—atter the prevatiing fashion in the navy— “by reason of an outbreak of scurvy.” But of course he cannot allow that because the expedition was thus hopelessly crippled in what was almost the very beginning of its work by tho culpavie mismanagement of the commander, this prevented it from reaching tue Pole. Oh aear, no! The reason why tcdid not do so was simply because ‘1t was im- possible, from the obstaclos which they had to en- counter and the shortness of the time,” This 1s certainly a very pretty way of admitting that the ex- pected triumpt proved to be a humiliating defeut. ‘Yne obstactes encouutered were, with the exception of the scurvy, which wag due to the Cuptain’s ignorance and perversity, only just what were to be expected, and if the time was snort it was because it was wasted ip dawdling and idle excursions. ‘he sailing orders sot forth distinctly that * sledging attempt to reach tho Polo’? was to “the main feature of the voyage,” and that jetailed surveys were uuneces- sary.’ Captain Nareg, however, chose to disregard bis positive instructions in this respect, ag also in re- gard to lime juice; and, having beon sent out to stop three seasons, hurried home at the end of the frst and left his task unfinished. Tho report of the committee appointed to inquire into this affair bas apparently been for some time in the hands of the Admiralty, but i | kept back by the authorities. It 1s known, r, that the substance of it is that the scurvy was due to the omission of lime } roin tho rations of the sledge parties; that the ships were amply pro- vided with suitable provisions of good quality, and that Sir G. Nares had pot suflicient reason for departing from tho instructions contained in the memorandum of *the Director of the Medical Department of the Navy asto supplying the sledge partics with lime juice. in fact, Captain Nares not only violated his specific instructions on almost every point of importance, but also treated with contempt the opinion as to lime juice given to him at the time by Dr, Colan. Moreover, he invented a thoory thut frozen hme juice was “impracticable,” because it could not be melted; but it appeurs that it can be melted by the eusy plan of putting the bottic in the steeping bag between the legsat night And this is why Captain Nares is now Sir George, and has recoived from the Admiralty a formal expression of ite ‘‘warm approval of tho soonduct of all engaged in this important service. JONES, THE MURDERED SPIRIT. UALIST. [From the Boston Banner of Light, Mareh 31.) Stevens 8, Jor tho editor and proprictor of the Religio-Philosophical Journal, a weekly newspaper de- voted to the promulgation of Liberalism and modern Spiritualism, and the Little Bouguet, a monthly magazine adapted to the minds of cbildren and youtn, promulgating the same doctrine, was born in Barre, Vt., on July 22, 1813 His parents were intelligent, liberal minded people, His father was a farmer in moderate circumstances. His mother was a woman of very groat éxecutive ability, many of whose traits of character her son inherited. He was her only son, During childhood and youth bis health was very deli- cate, yet he was 4rained-to babits of indusyry from which he has never departed, At the age of nineteen Mr. Jones entered apon the study of law, and was admitted to proctice at the No- vember term of eourt—the first term held by Judge Isaac F. Redfield at Montpelier, Vt. He entered upon tul practice of his profession in Hyde Park jer he was admitted, and remained there until bis removal to St. Charies, BL, in the spring of 1838, He was married to Lavina M. Camp, the daughter of Philo G. Camp, on the 1st day of May, 1888, and on the 10th day of May they startod for their new home tm Iino, For many years Mr. Jones confined him- self to his protession, and ranked high as u lawyer, He was twice elected Judge of the Kane County Court, and discharged the duties of the office to the general satisfaction of the public. At un early day in the bis- vory of roads in the Northwest Sir. Jones was actively engaged as a railroad man. Atthe age of thirty-vight be wat jogated by the Towa Central Air Line Railroad Company us thoir sole representative at Washington to obtain a land grant from Congress to aid the State of Iowa in building four parallel roads, these projected roads to rap west from tho Missiesipp! River across the State of lowa. For four years he attended upon Congress urging the pro- priety of making the grant of land to aid in developing tho resources of that pow great and prospercus State. Even the Souators and Representatives from that Stato were opposed to the grant to the great Central route on the forty-second parallel, which was finally, through his perseverence, incorporated into tho grant which passed Congress in 1555, Mr, Jones belonged to the liberal schoul im religion. His parents were Universalists, and he, for many years alter arriving ut manhood, was an active member ot that sect. He was generally tho presiding vilicer at the State conventions, associations and representative gatherings of the Oruer during tho first fifteen years of their history tn the State of Iili- nois. He dutes his conversion to modern Spiritualism mainly to the perusul of that remarkable work given through the early mediumship of Andrew Jackson Davia, called **Natare’s Divine Revelations anda Voice to Mankind.” Mr. Jones’ publishing houso was entirely consumed in the great Chicugo tire of October 9, 1871. His loss was very heavy and he received nothing {rom insur- ance companies. Some small sums were loaned him, but all was refunded within six months afterward. Most vigorously did he go to work to restore his pubiitshing business. His paper for the week of the fire, fortunately, was mailed and on its way to its subscribers when the “fire flend’” did ite work. While the fire was yet raging bo wrote the matter lor a new issue—smalier in size—and had jt printed and matled in advance of time, assuring his subscribers that, ulthongh burned out clean, the Leligio- Philosophi- cal Journal would be continued without unnecessary delay. He then went directly to New York und pur- | chased an entire new outht, and in tive weeks bad the Religio-Philosophical Journal, tull 8170, in the United States matis on its way to its subscribers. In ihe meantime, between the fire and the printing of the | paper jn its new dross, full size, he every week greeted his subscribers with the Keligio-P’hilosophical Journal, emali in size, that they might not be im the dark as to the progress being made by him to reimstate his pub- Hshing house, None of tne publishers in Chicago on that memorable occasion excelled him in enterprise. Mr. Jones, although his locks were whitened with age, ‘was 1p full vigor of manhood, and devoted bis whole time to conducting his business fnaneially and edivo- rially. As appeared from leading editorial articles in | his paper, Mr. Jones looked apon Spiritualism as a means of evolving @ rational system of philosophy which hoe called. “The Philosophy of — Life.” He opposed in a very pesilive manner the organization of the believers of ihe truth of spirit communication {nto a religions body with creeds or confessions of faith. He held that all phases of religion are but step- | ping stoves to a system of philosophy whien shail | burmonize with science and sou asou. Indeed, ho | claimed that religion bears the same relation to tho to chenustry and astrology to astronomy. He denied special creations, and held that ull beings, haman and brute, ure un- foided trom spiritual gerins, which have ever existed, and in whieh sex and germs are eternally and un- changeably fixed, It is but just that due credit should be given to Mr. Jones tor the boldness he has evinced 1M the radical, outspoken articles in opposition to the superstitions of whature claimed as supernatural re- ligions, which, from time to time, have appeared tn bis column adical paper in the country pas been more b his, and some of the stardiest blows that have been given the mytha and absurdities of the past bave come [rom tne organ he conducted.

HORSE BACING, OTHER TURF MATTERS AND AQUATIC EVENTS, Loxpox, March 17, 1877. ‘When a Lincoln handicap favorite comes to as short 8 price as £375 to £100 tuken six times, as was the cose with Lord Roseberry’s Touchet yesterday, it is a sure indication that the saddling bell at Lincoln, which rings up the curtain forthe flat racing drama of the year, will soon sound, Not that there has been no racing since New Year’s, fur we have hada surteit of metropolitan cross-country gate-mnoney speculations and sundry steeple chaso moctings in various parts of the country. With the single exception of the Great International Hurdle Handicap, decided at Croydon last week and won by Sir J. D, Astiey’s Scamp, there has been nothing done to raise the slightest ripple of excitement, Noxt week, however, the followers of the turf will have a surteit of amusement, including the decision of two of the leading events of the year, both of which bave been the means of speculation for over two months, to the exclusion of evorything else except the Waterloo Cup and the Intornational Hurdle Tage. Lincoln Spring meeting begios on Monday ond lasts three days, during which twenty races are set for de- cision, of which tho more important are the Butrbyany stakes on Monday, the Brocklesby stakes for two-year- olds on Tuesday and the Lincolnshire handicap of 1,000 sovs., added to a sweepstake of 20 sova. b. f, with 3 sovs, if declared, and the Lincoln cup for two- year-olds on the closing day, The Atlantic cable foro- stalls any remarks upon the big event, such transac- tions as aro connected with the animals engaged irre- spective of their chances of success alone excepted. SALE OF PETRARCH, Petrarch, the galiant son of Lord Clifden (stre of Buckden) and Laura, and winner of jb year’s 2,000 guineas and St. Leger, and who, notwithstanding bis weight {s 126 lbs. has been always at or near the bead of the betting quotations, has been sold by Lord Dup- plin to Lord Lonsdale for £10,000. The horse remains with his former owner until after the race, though he will run in Lord lonsdale’s colors and be ridden by F. Archer, the fashionable jockey of the day. Touchet, the first favorite, is the property of Lord Roseberry, whose face is not unfamiliar to Ameri- can turfmen, and who last yoar won this raco with Con- troversy. Tho sire of Touchet, Lord Lyon, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, Derby and St, Leger in 1866, bas hitherto met with bat little success as a sire, and itis rather strange that forthe first flat race of 1877 he abould have three of his descendants tiguring im the front rank of favoritism, Besides Touchet, 3 years, 90 Ibs, he bas Poursuivaat, 5 years, 111 lbs, and Lady Rolands, 3 years, 86 lbs, all fairly weighted animals, 6o that if eitber of them wins tt will be a credit. to Lord Lyon, one of the granftest horses ever strippea forarace, in all his journeytngs Lord Lyon was accompanied by a black cat, and tho writer cap remember getting a glimpse of the Derby favorite in his travelling box cn route for Epsom, and thero was pussy caried up fast asleep on tho middle of bis back. If Youchet should win the raco he will become a strong favorite tor the City and Suburban Handicap, run at Epsom on April 24, and for which as little as twelve to one 1s now accepted on the chance of his winning at Lincoln, and thus affording good hedging. Ho has even veen backed for a small amount for the Derby, allef which proves that Toachet hag done something uncommonly good at home with Lord Roseberry’s otber horses—Controversy, Brigg Boy and Snail—aud tbere ought to be but little mistake nade with such » Jot of good trial horses, ‘THK GRAND NATIONAL STEKPLECHASE. Immediately Lincoln ts through with a move will be made to Liverpool, which commences on Thursday unit lasts two days.’ The programme is a yery long one, but beyond the Liverpool Hurdle Handicap, Liv- erpool Cup and the Grand National, all of which have -£500 added, the racing will not be of uny great im- tance. A warning to turf sharps has been given by the ro- suit of the’ Glance case, the facts of which are as fullows:—A mare named Sphinx, after running in a Ye at Birmingham, was sold for £30 to rron, @ farmer living near Northampton. On the following day Warren ran the mare in the nom- ination of ‘Thomas Garner ip two races at the same mecting, ove of which she won, but still remained the property of Warren, On tho sume day Sphinx was taken to tbe stable of the Hen and Chicken at Birm- ingham, where we are mtroduced an innkecper named Longiands, from the same village as Warren, Kingathorpe. - Acting these two worthies the man Gurner cut off ‘a goodly portion of the mare’s tail aud then painted with caustic the white hairs on ber noso and heels, so asto destroy her identity. The next move of this precious brace of rasculs was to take Sphinx to Wolverhampton races and enter her under the name of Glance, and with a false pedigree. Antici- pating trouble, they backed her “first past the post,’ all of which bets they received, as Glance came in first, Mr, Howett, the owner of tho second horse, Chorister, was suspicious, und irom information re- ceived objected to the payment of the stakes, An tigation exposed the netarious scheme, and ce Was diequalified, though Warren and Long- Jands held on to their ‘first past the post” vets, The facts wore laid belore the Jockey Club by Lord Berke- ley Paget, und that body decided to prosecute the par- ties implicated for conspiring to defraud the race fund, to deiraud the owner of the second horse, and to defraud the bookmakors with whom they betted. On all of these charges they were convicted, und Longlands was sentenced to nino months’ tmprisonment, with hara = jabor, . and Warren to six moaths, These men were well-to-do, and what could have induced them to go into such a transaction 1s inexplicable. The principal witnesses against them were their two stablemen, who, us they were simply tools in the bands of the principals, were Jet off upon giving the evidence necessary tor convic- tion. This Was not the only disgraveiul piece of swindling perpetratea last year. Tho Mystery case at Huntingdon was as bad, the owner, knowing that sbe would be disqaalitied if she won, backed her ‘frat past the post,” ard then backed’ Ashileld as well to win outright, thus standing two winners for one race, Another instance of tnis mode vf swindling was shown up imtne Labyrinth affair at Croydon, where sho was startea with some thirty or jorty pounds short weight, so as 10 make it a certainty she would be firet tn, and although ghe was disqualitied, all money bet “tirst past the post’ had to be paid over. There is no easier road for swindling (ban this system of bet- ting, On many raco courses it is not allowed, and it 4s time the Jockey,Ciub took notice of it and put a stop to the practice by the necessary enactment, ! TURF RECIPROCITY, Tho several motions by Lord Falmouth and others having in view the stopping of foreign bred borees running in England unless English horses are accorded similar privileges abroad, and which are to be con- sidered the next meeting of the Jockey Club, are being considered in a much moro reasonable light than was at first the case. ‘The agitators claimed that the foreigners took off more than their share of the weight jor uge races, und should therefore offer to English horses equal privileges abroad to those ac- corded to horses of all nations hero. ‘Free trade” ts alwaya a taking thing wity Englishmen, and so, when the cry Was raised 1 the racing line, it met vith lots of supporters, who never tovk the trouble to 100K into the matier and eee whether or no Engtish owners were being hardly treated. The Field taxes a very liberal stand in the matter, and proves by the following table that instead of the foreigners being so lar indebted to us the balance ts on the other side:— Entries of For PEE cign-bred Horses | Total Value of or Those Owned ‘ Profits. by Foreigners. | Pt tote hielo HI . nines ‘Two Thousand. . 1] 66 og | sf ef tt 880% } 4,400 One Thousand, .Jizjis tole} Le | 16 82 | | wt 50 sovB, j 74,100 Derby..seeee-- we]. f 2 M3 | zs se Salt at 1 25 sows, ( £5,575 OakB...0eeeeee TPO lL ds 127 | \"| jst ova ‘ses rhe St. Leger. ... : 26] 38) 141 | 99 gg sove, | £525 Tu 1870 Kisber wou the Derby, value...

DEATH OF THE TROTTING MARE PRINCESS, ‘The bay mare Princess, foaled in 1843 by Michael Reaker, dam unknown, died recently at the farm of Mr, Robert Bonner, near Tarrytown, Westchester county, This mare was a famous trotter in her prime, and after her retirement from the track was a valuablo brood mare. She was bred in New Hampshire, and when about five years old taken to Chicago by D. A. Gage, being then called Topsy. As the late Hi- ram Woodruff was well acquainted with the career of this mare wo copy trom his bouk the following remi- niscences of hor while on the turt: On the 16th of June, 1859, Flora Temple met a new and favorable competitor in tho bay mare Princess, Vhis mare bad formerly been called Topsy, under which name sbe trotted ast in the West.

Teakie, a geutieman of fine parts und enterprise and high character, She bad been brought from the Pacitic side to New York by James Eofl, # very able traiuer and driver, and generally thought to be as hardy and un- scrupulous as uny mab in our prolession. Princess was aimare of singular beauty aud high quality, com- bined with strength, Ido not know her pedig: have heard sevoral different stories about is; but she sowed biood and must have had a good strain in her. Her temper was not of tho best, and, though she had a great gitt of speed, she was not steady enough to be always reliabic, Her bottom was great, Betore leav- tng Calitornia to come here she twice bout Glencoe Chief ten miles, to wagons, ning those races in 29m. 1038 and 20m. 1648. ‘The first of these races was tor the large umount of $36,500 and the second for $10,000, Her best mile in public had been 2380; but-I have heard that she went an amaz- ingly fast mile to wagon in a trial with a pacing horse, ant that trial induced Mr, Teakle to bring her eustward again, Eoffwas a greut master of humbug, and had got up so much mystery aud speculation in regard to this mare that Fiora’s owner refused to match her, An arrangement was then entered into that they should trot three-mile beats and two-mile ats to wagons on tho Eclipse course and divide the te money. It was given out that they were matched for $2,500 a side, but the truth is thore was nothing at stake between them, They trotted tho threo-nile heuts on the 16th of June, 1859, in the presence of a is crowd. Koff had so worked upon the betief of any credulous people that they actually laid on 7:30 wagon, which would have beaten Duichman’s time uoder the saddle by two seconus and a half, Tall- man drove Flora and Eoft Princess. The beauty aud siyle of the latter was much admired, but tne ids were upon the littio mare who had won jach a gallant race a little more than @ fortnight pre- Vious from Ktban Alleo, 1t was a hundred to twent: ve un her, Belore they started there came up a thu’ jer shower, which drenched thousands 0! people to the skin anu made the course slippery and bad. In the first beat Princess took the lead and kept tt for nearly a milo; but i*lora got to her bead a fow strides from the score and they crossed it togetber in 2:37. ‘Tall. man made a waiting race of it and pulled Flora back three Jongtbs, but at the score again the big mare only | Jed heralength, The time of that mile was 2:40. Flora mado a little skip on the turn and Princess was three lengths ahead at the quarter. But now her ume wascome, The little mare mi ach a tine rush thas sho was ut the head of Princess at the half-mile pole, Sho touk the lead und won by tive lengths with great case in 7:54, umid great shouting. Ten to one was now laid, and it was whispered about that Eoff would not let Princess win it. He very likely instituted the report himself, for it wasa part of his tactics to make people believe that Princess could beat Flora whencvor it became his interest to let her do so. In the second heat Flora took the leac, The first mile ‘was 2:3734, the second 2:3634. In the third mile Flora gan to come back, and shv pulled a shve off and cut jer quarter. fail way up the stretch Flora broke, and many beheved that Kot! might then bave passed h and won tho hoat if be had wanted to Jo so, Flora w im ahobbie all the way home, and broke threo times after she passed the drawgato, but Lrincoss never got wo und the little maro won it in 7:5944. About ninoteen out of twenty people believed that Koif pulled Princess in the last heat on purpose to Jose it, But it Koff had a mare that could havo beaten Miora, the odds that day were vory tempting, He told o plausible, , 1 um inclined to think, a truthful story. It was that Princess was as tired as Flora was; tbat if ho had sent her ever so hittic at the finish she would have broken up; and, as she is a bad breaker, that would have lost it. ‘I'he truth to my mind is that Princess never could beat Flora when the latter was at hersolt, and Eoff was of all men in America the man who knew it best. Flora, however, was not at her best that day. In a week after the race of Ubree mile heats to wagons, Flora aod Prin- cess trotied two mile beats in harness. ‘The betting opened at 100 to 70 on Flora, but belore they started 1t was even. Tallman drove Flora again, and 1p scoring she seemed runk aad wild, Princess, on t ovher hand, was quite stoady, and from all appearances ner race to wagon had done her good. They went uway ata great rato, and before Flora yot around the turn she pulled « soo off and cut ber quarter. This gavo Princess the lead. The latter trotted the first mile in 2:26, but there was no daylight between her and Flora, On the turn Fiora broke, When she caught she trotied very tust, and, making a swilt and resolute dart to close with Princess on the backstretch, sho grabbed off her other fore shoe and cut her quarter badly, Princess won the beat easily im 5:02, and Might, no doubt, have trotted it considerably tuster au she bad been pressed in the second mile, lt was 10 tolon the Calitornia mare. Flora was a little lame when brought out tor the socond heat, Princess took the lead, kept it all the way, aud wou handily in 5:05. ‘The general opinion was that little Flora bad her mis- tregs and that Princess could beat her anywhere. ut the truth is that people forgot the wondertul constitu- tion and como again qualities of Flora, while, with all her speed, bottom and fine way of going, Princess wi un uncertain mare and nothing like as reliable for a Jong campaign as Flora was, The news of this race creited a great sensation all over the country, and I must here say that, in spite of her defeat, mavy stuck to Flora, and contended that the verdict obtained by Princess would be reversed qith heavy costs and dam- uges when there was a new trial. ‘These famous mares trotted several times after this on Long Island and through the country while ona hippodroming expedition, but Princess never after- ward was able to beat Flora Temple a single race Princess was bred to Hambletoman after being taken off the turf, and her first foal was Happy Medium, now owned by Robert Steel, of Philadelphia, She had other foals, but they were never famous, Mr, Bonner purchased Princess a few years ago with the mtention of breeding her to Edward Evorett, but she never had foal while he owned her. She died in her twenty-ninth year. Herold opponent and in ber palmy days the acknowledged queen of the turf, Flora Templo, is still alive and well at Chestnat iiiils, near Philadelphia, the property of Mr, Aristides Welch. DEATH OF A HORSEMAN. Newsera, N.

An athletic entertainment, for the benefit of Joo Ryan, the wrestler, came off yesterday at Hill’s Vari- ety Theatre, East Houston street, The attendance was fair, and the programme included variety busi- noss as well as wrestling and bouts at fisticuffs. The original Alabama Minstrels pleasantly opened the show, when two or threo siugers gave their “newest and best,’? the latter retiring for the boxers, ‘+Mat?” Upton and Jobn Boyd (the **Washington Market Pet’’) had an amusing set-to, in which tbe only notice- able item was tho @utire absence of science. “Jack”? Gallagher and ‘‘Tom” Dron next came on, and though the former was expected to do as be pleased with bis opponent he found a tough customer. Three rounds of considerable merit were had, with the bonors casy at the finish, “Bill” Farlong and ‘*Panch”’ Morris then came together, after which the wrestlers were an- nounced. These were “Joe” Ryan, of New York, the beneticiary, and Frank Maguire, of Vermont. It was “collar and elbow,’? best two out of three falls. Magui: disposed of Ryan with the back heel in four minut for the first fall, and by meané of the outside click again brought bim on his back in seven minutes for tho second fall. ‘Jimmy” Kelly and ‘Scddons’ Mouse” wound up the show :n a clever bout with the mittona, and they left the stage with considerable applause, YACHTING NOTES. The schooner yacht Idler, Mr. S, J. Colgate, N.Y. Y.C., left the foot of Kast Twenty-eighth street on Thursday for a short cruise in the West Indies, At ten o'clock, everything being in readiness, she was takon in tow by a tug, and proceeded down the harbor with colors flying, her trim and neat appearanre attracting much attention, Salute after salute from passing craft gave the yacht a pleasant ‘send off,” and when Staten Island was reacued the Wanderer, Vice Commodore Stillman, N.Y.Y.C., joined ber and accompanied her outside of Sandy Hook. The Idler will first touch at Bermuda and then proceed to Havana, it 1s believed; but this portion of the programme of the cruise laid down by ber owner may be changed. A more beautiful pleasure craft never leit the harbor, and in whatever port she may anchor during her abe sence she will be visited and admired by hundrads, ‘The Idler 1s a credit to the yachting interests of the United States, and besides, she is one of the tastest vonts afloat, It will be remembered that her owner 18 Commodore of the young and vigorous 5: anbaka Club, So, with Commodore Kane, of the New York Club; Henry Steers, tho yacht builder, and other prominent gentiomen aboard, the Idler will be cord- tally welcomed wherever she may go, The schooner yacht Wanderer, wuich left this port onthe 7th of February, returned last Sunday night, having been as jar south as St. Augustine, Fla She sailed trom the latter port on the 17th iust., and ar- rived at Norfoix ou the 2ist.
