The dav llsell broke out beaut.lullv bright and clear, and lromas early as S oclock people began to take their way to the Rue track north of town. Between 6 ind io oclock the road leading timber was quite alive with carriages, buggies caits, horsemen, and wagons, all aboard bent on getting a good positison first. he utmost good humor prevailed, except the unloitunate decision at the last race which led to much exhibition '1 here are a lew ol leelmg points however which should be remedied in luture races, v.z i A level track 2 A winning post, a very essential thing as with such a crowd around, it is very hard ior the riders to see the outcome, and in one race it was nearly lost, as the rider mistook the finish when he came up to the crowd, a circumstance which could not have occuned had th-- re been a proper winning post. 3 A little more expedition in staiting. 4 Either to start bv the dropping of a flag or by hung a pistol, either of which would have prevented the decision on the last race, 1 he races were as follows 1 he Inst was between W. Tuttles chestnut horse, Prince, I. R. Braithwaite ruler, and J. Madsens yellow mare, Dolly, Madson rider, distance 3ooyaids. Betting even on the mare. The horses came along very evenly all about 50 yards from ttie finish when the mare drew slightly ahead and con unuing to gain, won the race by a clear length. '1 he second was between E. Madsens Sorel horse, Madsen rider, and Mr Warners Brown mare.J. Barton rider. Betting 2 to i on horse. '1 he horse had the best of the stait and although the mare gained fast, and he won by 4 feet, but had it been 50 yds further the mare could have won. s The third was between Dr. W gray horse, Prince, Dr. Hosfuid rider, and. Mofhtts Brown bald faced horse, Leslie Fox rider. Betting 2 to 1 against the Dr. This was an exciting race as the htt'e horse only had a few backeis. After a good start they ran neck and neck lor about 200 yds when tile Dr begin to dmw ahead and was a clear length .nd a half ahead on rear lung the ci ow d. but there being no conspicuous finishing maik, pulled up 20 yds too soon, and the other rider seeing his advantage came on with a rusn, but a few tuoie jumps landed the Dr ahead by a length, a near thing. The fourth was between R. Braith-waite- s Blue horse Biaithwaite nder,and Lurvevs Sorrel hotse, Lurvey, rider. A close race resulted 111 the sorrel w inning by 4 feet. Several other vm ill races look place after which I hos. Uuingums gray horse was matched t run wall Thus roan mare, ot phrann, 275 yds. 2 to I on horse. After a fake st ut, the horses were, to all appeaianccs, despatched pietty evenly but the ndci on the giav horse did not hear the word "go" and consequently did not tuge his horse to his best, and the male won by a length, theie was a gieal disappointment as one of the judges gave it a win and the other no race. The Manti boys offered to double the stakes and run over again, but rphruini refused and so no money was paid over on either side, w Inch caused a great deal of unpleasantness even assuming at one time a serious aspect, Ephraim eventually going away disgusted aud thieatening a law suit. It is haid to say which side are most to blame, but it might all be prevented 111 the luture if our suggestions at the commencement are a'tended to. The old place at Mount Veinon is, uowever, eloquent evidence ot the esteem in wlvchthe father of his country is held by his people. Every year sees improvements made on the estate. The m insion stands at a considerable elevation above the river, but the descent is Wuhin in no place very precipitous the last two yeais, a private donation has ent relv restored the old deer park ot Washingtons day on this old river front. A great stone wall and a fine iron fence, with a particularly imposing gateway, now inclosei the park, and a score of deer may be seen. So in the mansion. The donations are continually coining in. and the c peices of old furniture and are so numerous as to unduly crowd some of the rooms. If generous souls would now buy back the library, which was sold sometime in the thirties to the Boston library, the furnishings would appear as complete as possible. The olo tomb where the remains of George and Martha Washingtoh reposed prior to their removal to the present tomb, has been fully restored within the last two years. In fact the thought and zeal exhibited by the ladies of the Mount Vernon Association are a monument to American womanhood The old church at Alexandria, from which just a hundred years ago last month, George Washington issued and rode away to be inangurated at New York, is as carefully preserved, l was seated just back of the old Washington pew last Sunday, and I tried to imagine how George must have longed to be out of that pew on such Sundays; when the spiritual food offered by the paster was particularly stale, and when he had but to look out of tne window to see the budding leaves of the trees beckoning him away, and but to listen to hear the birds calling each other among the outside. headstones in the church-yar- d If George had not been busy living out a historical existence, I believe he wotild have induced Jnmself to cut the long service and go away for a walk. Visitors to the old church have to pay at least five cents to the sexton to see the church outside of service tune. A close inspection of the placard conveying this information showed me that the vestrymen must have been much exercised in their minds regarding the price to be charged. Evidently the price was first fixed at as cents, then at fifteen and again at ten. Thus we see that competition is not the only arbiter of prices 1 he tee, however, is an absolute necessity. The sexton told me that he was obliged to watch every movement of visitors. People allowed to go into the Wasnington pew steal the buttons off the cushions in blissful ignorance of the fact that only the hair inside is a part of the original upholstery. Several years ago, when the sexton had happened to leave the church door unlocked, some enterprising traveller entered and tore the old pfate off the pew door. Vandalism is a crime peculiar to no people, but it reaches the sublime in impudence when it works in a church. The movement to build a grand national rood, two hundred feet wide, from Arlington Cemetery to Mt. Vernon, a distance of about 16 miles, is meeting with favor, and the proposition to have each state, with the Government, contribute to it, will probably be accepted bnc-a-bra- A full line ol trimmed Hats and dress trimmings at the Ephraim ( "o-o- - 4-- 5 I v aeau bumw i'aieut liU ut Of- - and Trade Murk ohtt.iEKl and all rte Itr. conducted for Our Oitite la Opposite I .
