The buildings were gayly decent - ed. with flags and bunting, and the sWeet straine of the Shoo Fly Baud lent An addit ionel edat to tho Occasion. The rottebli race, as adyertised, between two cracks who have no superiors in their peculiar line of running. A mouth ago artiolee were sign- ed by Little Bole -Mao, of this village, and Berty Sniith, a tailox of New York, to Mu three fifty -yard races for $1,000, the \min- or of the two heats being the winner of the race. $250 each was depoeites1 at the three, and the balance tolie deposit- ed on the day of the race. The referee was also to be appointed on that day. At 12, o'clock on Thursday the entire stake mon- oy wee deposited in the hands of Mr. Wm. Brenton, and both parties agreed that Mr. Chrietophor II, be referee, he having given such universal satistatitioh as referee at the late light. At le"o'clock the centre of Main street INIIS cleared, and a rope etretohed out down each side of the street, to keep Ilia spectators off theeourse, The windows of all buildings were packed with an nver- anzioes crowd, and the roofs and veran- dahs Actually groaned beneath their living freight. At 1.80 the referee blew his tin whietle, and little Bob Mao. immediately appeared with his profeesional trainer, Can - for Cousins, His costume was most beaut- iful : A scarlet turkish flag adorned his head ; he wore a &Aweless green satin shirt with a beer glass and a cigar worked in beade on the breast, On the back of the shirt was a large floral horseshoe. Having unfortunately burst his pants in •a trial spurt the day before, he secured the loan of Alex. Turner's bine baseball pents, which, although a trifle large for him, suited his complenien. On the right foot he wore a running shoe, but owing to the too of his left foot having been •injured, he wore a moceasin on that foot. He also wore in- terferina boots and toe weights, and. carried a copy ef Wallace' Monthlyin each hand. He, being the favorite, was greeted with lona applause and presented with several hundr,te-e beautiful boquets. Smith next appearecl,:and Was also applauded. His dreter consisted of an Orion tal dressing gown of crimson velvet ; a baseball mask and, a goktbmcelet, which had been found on the 'Barbie Line, on his left arm. He wore a bandana handkerchief on his head and ran barefooted, He was accompanied by his trainer, John Collins, a youth of a sweet dispomition, who wears his hair pompadour and talks throng,h his teeth. Both men appeared to be in fine condition, but little Bob was the favorite. At 2 o'clock the referee's whistle again sounded, and both men moved up to the scratch and got ready for business. Wesley Hawkshaw, of Ex- eter, was appointed starter, and placed the men on the line, and. gave the magic word, Go 1 Both men started together and ran side by side for 40 yards, but Smith's &rem- ing gown having been caught by the wind 41/2d hlgwn over his head, his speed was much impeded, and light Bob came in an easy winner; time, 19.56, Both athletes were taken to tho livery stable by their re- spective trainers and •vigorously rubbed down. After about 20 minutes, the \village again sounded and the contestants again appeared ou the track, little Bob in the same costume as before, but Smith had discarded his dressing gowii, and wore in- stead : a blue cutton shit t and pants, and a Mary Queen of Scotts ruffle around his neck. Wesley again placed the men, and again the Word GO 3 was given. Smith got a little the best start, and increased his lead, winning the heat in 19.56f. Both Mell were again taken to the barn. Them was now tremendous excitment among the spectators, both men having won a heat, and even bets were freely offered andtalcen. Clonsiderable delay ensued before the final heat, as Bobby had injured his toe in the last heat and was forced to have it attended to by Dr. Dann. However, they at last ap- peared. Bobby's injured foot being ineased in a meal sack. The word was again given end the men started together and ran close- ly all down the course, when Bobby by a spurt, messed the line two inches ahead of his opponent. Both men were thoroughly pumped. The cheers could be card in Granton where they woke up Tom Culbert, who had been sleeping against time for 48 hours.—Great credit is due Mr. Hawkshaw for the able manlier in which he started the race; also to Christopher 11. for his pains and impartial judgment. --Another race is talked of. --Hill John and Johnny Stout were present and witnessed the race.
