—Last week a sweepstake and niatck were 

 trotted on the Prospect Park Fair Grounds 

 Course, L. I. The first was for a purse and 

 stake of $1,000, mile heats, best three in 

 five, in harness, for which three fast and 

 promising horses were entered — G. Walker's 

 br. jti. Maybird, Mead & Pace's Tj. g. Rnritis, 

 and Mr. Smith's bill, m. Catskill Girl. After 

 Maybird had won the first heat, she became 

 the favorite at $100 to $25 against the field. 

 She won the second heat, and the crowd in 

 attendance being dissatisfied with the driving 

 of Rarius, took possession of the track, and, 

 after the usual fee of $50 was collected to 

 pay another driver, the judges named Hiram 

 Howe. This was not' satisfactory to the 

 mob, who wanted Phillips to drive, and ef- 

 forts were made to throw Hiram Howe out 

 of tbe sulky. Finally the judges declared 

 all pools and bets off, and the horses then 

 trotted the third beat, whicb Maybird won 

 after u well-contested struggle with Catskill 

 Girl, who was second in every heat. A 

 match for $200, between G. Walker's b. m. 

 Lady Anna and W. Thorn's br. g. Phil. 

 O'N'eil, was won by the latter in four heats, 

 the mare taking the first heat. 



—Three trotting matches came off at 

 Fleetwood Park last "Wednesday. The first 

 race was won by Bricks, the second by Ned 

 and the third Murphy's sorrel Jake. No 

 good time was made in either contest. 



—At the Woodside Park, the same day, 

 New Dorp won the purse for three minute 

 horses, his best time being 2 .45. And Flora 

 Temple, belonging to Otisi'.oi't, won the 2.50 

 race, the best time being 2.47. Brown Kitty 

 won third race, her best time being 246$. 



—At Deerfoot Park a purse of $300, 

 brought but three competitors, and Charley 

 Young proved the victor, his best time 

 being 2:52. 



— At San Francisco, Cal., the trot for a 

 purse of $6,000, mile heals, best three in 

 five, to wagon, postponed from November 

 7, took place November 21st at Golden Gale 

 Driving Park, the contestants being Occi- 

 dent, Judge Fullerton and Sam Purely. The 

 weather was fair. The attendance was im- 

 mense, and included quite a number of 

 Kasiern turfmen, who strongly backed Ful- 

 lerton. The adjoining elevated ground of 

 Lane Mountain was also crowded with peo- 

 ple anxious to gel a view of the race. Sam 

 Purdy drew thepole and Judge Fullerton the 

 outside. Just before the horses were called, 

 Occident was selling at $200, Judge Fullerlun 

 $250, and Sam Purdy at $45. The horses 

 called up at 2:30, but owing to the nervous 

 restlessness of Occident, it was 245 before 

 they finally started, after scoring three 

 times. Judge Fullerton won the "heat in 

 2:201, Sam Purdy second, and Occident last, 

 four lengths behind the distance flag. The 

 bad behavior of Occident caused ids friends 

 to lose faith in him, and he began to sell low 

 in the pools. The judges refused to rule 

 him out as distanced, which caused much 

 dissatisfaction among the friends of the 

 other two contestants. 



There were a great many ineffectual at- 

 tempts made at a start iu the second heat, 

 Occident being still restless and breaking 

 badly. After scoring no less than twelve 

 times, the horses finally got started at 4:05. 

 Judge Fullerton again came in first, in 

 2:224, Sam Purdy second, and Occident 

 seventy-five yards behind. 



Before the start in the third heat, Judge 

 Fullerton was a ereat favorite in the pools, 

 selling at $600 "against $250 on the field. 

 The horses were called at 4:30, and easily 

 effected a start. Judge Fullerton again 

 came in ahead, in 2:21J, winning the race. 



— Great preparations are being made for 

 the winter meeting by the Louisiana Jockey 

 Club, and stables of horses are beginning to 

 congregate at the course. In addition to 

 Mr. Howard's stable, already on the ground, 

 W. Jenning's stable, comprising Ballenkcel, 

 Larry Hart, a four-year old filly by Brown 

 Dick, and Cape Race., reached the place. 

 Mr. Van. Iriijw, with Bounabel, Aslrappee 

 and a two-year-old by Little Mae will also 

 be there, together with Dr. Weidon's Mil- 

 dew, Kadi. Bengarnon, Warlike and War- 

 fare. Besides, A. B. Lewis & Co. will be 

 there soon with Vandal ite, Bessie Lee, 

 Fanny Johnson and five others; and Hitch- 

 cock with Limestone, Gal way, Paris, Mu- 

 tual and Century. The meeting will be 

 held early in December.

Memphis, Tens., Nov.- 18. 

 Editoh Forest and Biream — 



The racing season is about over, both iu 

 tbe country adjoiniug and in this immediate 

 vicinity, and nearly all the stock that for 

 two months has been attending Fairs, has 

 been housed for the Winter. The Browns- 

 ville (Tenn.) Fair was the last attended by 

 any of our local horses, and there on 

 Saturday last, General Forrest's Kate, Hall's 

 Wild Belle, and Murphy's Keno trotting a 

 two in three for $250, over a half mile 

 track, Kate winning the first and third 

 heats in 2:96 and 3;3T>, and Keno taking the 

 second in 3,33. The track, however, is 

 eighty yards short, which would make the 

 actual time not less than 2:36, 



A Si'iPEit ox Her Dress. — A certain 

 lady in this village, whom we shall call 

 Mrs. Jones, because that is mil her name, 

 has some goods stored in the cellar of one 

 of our stores. A few days since she visited 

 the cellar, with the evident intention of ob- 

 taining some articles, and while there one 

 of the" clerks had occasion to visit it also 

 for the purpose of getting a few pounds of 

 butter for a customer. He not iced that the 

 lady in question stood close to a quantity of 

 eggs, and that her crinoline had assumed 

 undue proportions. He apparently paid no 

 attention to her, however, but hastened back 

 to the store and informed one of bis fellow- 

 clerks of what lie had accidentally dis- 

 covered. A consultation was immediately 

 held, when one of the clerks resolved to as- 

 certain the correctness of their supposition, 

 viz., that Mrs. Jones had a number of eggs 

 concealed in her dress. In order to do this, 

 the clerk seized an axe-lmndle and com- 

 menced flourishing it near the entrance to 

 the cellar. As soon as Mrs. Jones made her 

 appearance in the store, the clerk said to 

 her:— 



"O, Mrs. Jones, there is a spider on your 

 dress !" 



He instantly struck it in several places 

 with his shillelah, causing the eggs to break 

 and stream from her crinoline iu all direc- 

 tions. The effect can be belter imagined 

 than described. Mrs. Jone3 did not stop to 

 offer any explanation, but left the store as 

 fast as the propelling power furnished by 

 Dame Nature could carry her. 



—An Irishman found a Government 

 blanket recently, and rolling it up put it 

 under his arm and walked off, saying: — 

 "Yis, that's moin— U for Patrick, and S for 

 MeCarty, be me sowl, but this larnin's a 

 foine thing, as me fayther would say; for if 

 1 hadn't any edication I wouldn't have been 

 afther findin' me blanket." — Danbun/ News.
