DENOVAN, 25, '87...............„.Martreoet 1.1u.ean. , Quite an excitingDonnybrooke took place at the Western hotel recently on the appearance of the notorious Jim McFad- den, ex.S. A, C. C. While on his usual roundsbill posting, he entered the hotel and greeted the proprietor, Mr. John Cain, with his usual innocent smile, as is his custom when in pursuit of game. This did not meet the views of the landlord who quietly requested him to depart. James, feeling that his Noble pasts for 30 days, was eufficient possession, treated the salutation with indifference, Whereupon John took forcible steps to eject his unwelcome and obnoxious visitor. James taking two steps to the left and one to the rear proceeded to explain his mission as one of benovelence and not prosecution, and insisted Dpon posting his precious doonmeut which caused tbe fire of indignation to blaze in the breast of mine host, who, at the same time, remarked that the last bill he posted M his hone° caused him to dance to the tune of 8100 and costs; and that under the cirotunstances hs would not allow a place for him or his A mace, ensued, during which the recently discharged and much despised. offioial was seizedby the lug and led te the door, receiving while en route several impressive reprimands from two or three natives who were present, each administering the dose in a style charac- teristic of the good old Corkonians. Jim finding the surroundings veal, repulsive and adverse to the best interests of his delicate forrn, and to the preserving of the potency of his ocular optics, introduced the Halton Ad, by displaying his a,hiltiee as an archer. The modern, ninsrod then presented -his gun at the bead of his antagonist when a messenger vras sent for constable Bawden. Before his arrival the gallant jim had re- treated to the depot and took refuge in the bosom of a mend, surrendering has pop . . . and anamunitiot to prevent pro-sic•cution. A few clays after James treated Ws friends to a trip to London, thus privileging them to interview John Peters, J. P. After a few cengreaulations from the Beak, the sum of 3 cases and _costs paid the bill for free- dom. Myself and two other friends took .a half holiday to attend the consolation raceheld in Luoan the other day. • A large orowd being present everything was asgood as could be desired, all hands in full anticipa- tion of seeing some fun. A large crowd collected around the grand stand which 18 erected on William-st. As I promised 1 will give you a short synopsis of the affair. Quite early in the forenoon some four or nvaie/ fin nd 8, alalniimn afilrasetOulahibe0 se eha8pe8.12 Nothing .very lnteresting was seen in the feature of the ease only the McCarty mare which • being the favorite was watched with intense interest. When she inadeiher first appears • aurae on the street, heavily clothed with sweat blankets, as she was not in very good trim owing to the heavy track the night before, many were disappointed and res marked that she had been worked too hard and trained too fine to be matched against horses displaying strength and action. Blacik Ed, Pounclinaker, Pl-a-Pot and Sorrel Cloud, ,from their general appearance on' She street promised to do their work up with great speed. After some two hours or more, a large number of pools had been sold, the McCarty mare proving the favor- ite ancl sold at 340.00, while Black Ed sold second choice for a ten dollar bill, the field going a:begging and sold at 34.00 with Poun.dmaker, n -a -Pot and Sorl Cloud. They drew and McCarty mare won the toss and took the pole and held it to the end of the heat winning the race in 1301, Black Ed a good second, Sorl Cloud Srcl, Pound - maker and Pi -a -pot distanced. All being well pleased with the proceedings during the day it was the unanimous conclusion of all spectators that this WAS • the closest contested race they had ever seen as all around the course the mare led, pushed by Ed se tightly that at times the same blanket would cover both horsea; and many are led to believe that the horse can out - wind her. On the whole the meeting was carried tout with entire satisfaction to all. Robert H., the york king of the west, who was the spirit in conducting the business of pool selling, and from whom all reliable information concerning the affair was re- ceived, was applied to, to arrange matters for another trial. As it is quite evident this track is too heavy for Ed and should a more favorable one be got we have every reason to believe be willelistanceall comers. After a due deliberation over -tile matter, a second match was made to come off on the 14t11 of the present month at London, when Judge Fullerton and a number of other worthies are to take part. A. good time is expected. Arrangements will be made with the Gs T. R. for reduced rates. 13e - fore the meeting closed, Round Head stepped forward to the pool seller and pre- sented him with a beautiful boguet AS a token of respect for the able manner in 'which he discharged the laborous duties of the above ofd.ce. After a suitable reply had been made by the receiver the crowd dispersed giving three cheers for the queen three for the mare, and volley after velley of applause for Black Ed, Four thousand Irish emigrants have sailed from Queenstown for America. • Last Friday night a Air.
