PRYOR AND LECOMTE— PRYOR THE VICTOR. 



Thied Day. — The race wliich took place at Natchez on Sat- 

 urday last, four-mile heats, between Pryor and Lecomte, was, I 

 think, almost equal to any I ever witnessed, stamping both of 

 the contending nags as iirst-rate horses, and proving conclusive-

 had previously given him credit for. Tlie difficulties M'hich he 

 encountered in the prosecution of his tedious land journey from 

 Alexandria to Natchez, could not have been instrumental in 

 improving his condition, which, however, to appearance was 

 all that could be desired. His eye was clear and bright, as was 

 his skin, and his proud defiant air, and elastic step, betokened 

 ability to go the pace, and keep it. In his exercise, which I

 with the style in which he came down the quarter stretch. He 

 looked as if he could fairly fly. He had no superfluous flesh

 pected. Twice had he met Mr. Kenner's filly Minnow, and in
