LitiCan• AN INTEitESTING MENT.,--A11 who had the pleasure of attending ony late races whioli were held here some 3 or 4 weeks ago feel very much amused and gratified over the results. As it will be remembered a yeti exciting stallion race was trotted for a purse from $700 to $800, in which a large number of animals entered, the most prom inent!of which being Mammoth King, a very fine specimen of bias:. class, being a tall, rangy animal of the fox-hunter breed. 2nd Jim lat am, cream coloured stallion with a long black curly mane, record, 2.27L 3rd , Sleepy Tom, whose course he always keeps aud never loses in the race. 4th, Joe Gale, who is owned and stabled in Clancleboye • thi h • Our townsman, Mr. Jim, Flavin, tailor, on Main-st.; is about to move te Forest, in the anticipation of enlarging his business.

The test was intended to be a perfect secret. Diver Boy was in disguise while on the course, but was observed by one of Mam- moth's backers, who reports Ed as a very poor sample of horse for this country, being fit only to be classed as a swift mule, Ap- plication was made to place Nigger,. Tom in the race ageinst Jiris. Mac., but the same had not reached the hands of the Secretary in time, and prevented a lively eoistest. The greatest amount of interest was taken in No. 7, this being the one supposed to win first money. And when it was mooted around that Northern Champion was to en- ter the race with Otialtmolleights, great in- terest was taken. It was dedded by the managers that only one purse should be given, the distance unlimited, giving a trial to both wind and speed. A large number flocked around the pool sellers, who were two bankers in good etancling. Carlton Heights stood 50 to 5, Diver Boy 20 against the field. After a few unsuccessful starts, caused by Plaster jaok bolting into the oro Si, and a disagreement over 131ack Ed, who was not considered eligible to compete with imported. horsce the being counted a mule) the word oo I was given.
