Fold me to thy soft. cool breast!

U. S. 8. 81.00? or Wall. “lacquers,"
ASIA‘l'IO SQUAD. OSAKA Roaos, }
JAPAN, Jan. 26th, 1868.
Dan Sin—Since my communication to you, giving
you an account of the melancholoy death and burial
of Rear Admiral Bell, his Flag Licut. and the 10 sec-
Lmen of the U. S. S. “Redford," our Fleet has been
broken up, the “Hartford” and ‘Shcaandoah” have
gone to Nagaski where Commodore Goldsborough,
will transfer his dog from the latterto the former ves-
sel and then proceed to Singapore, via Hong Kong,
where the "Hartford” awaits the arrival of Admiral
Rowan, who comes out on the “Plscataqua” to com-
mand this Squadron. The "Iroquois"left Hlogo for
Osaka'on the 24th, and the “Ame-took" left there on
the 25th, from Hong Kong, at the same time taking
the bodies of Rear Admiral Bell and Lieut. Cemd’r.
Reed to be sent home to the United State; In com-'
pany with the body of neat. Comdr. Mackenzie for-
merly of the-."Hartford" who was shot by a party of
savages, last Summer on the Island of Formosa.
_Whl1c at Hiogo I found it very dull, and some-
times would wonder what I could do to pass away the
time. I had frequently heard of the Cascade, and con-
cluded I would visit it, which I finally did on the 23rd
in company with three other Engineer Ofiieers, and
was handsomly repaid for my visit. It was a short
stroll of about three miles to the Rocks. Its streams
is only about two feet wide where it pours over spree-
ipiee, and falls about the distance of 80 feet. and, from
its hinges of Rock and shrub below. there is a fine
view of the Cataract. The undivided stream first
pours over the precipice, and about midway down its
fall, slut of rock, separates it into two » channels, one
of which spreads itself out in a sheet of water that
falls at a distance of about twenty feet from the foot
of the rock, which is furrowed, and walled, and pol-
ished by the rushing waters. Below, the channel
unites, and In one stream, the water flows on gently,
between the quarried cliffs of granite, which rises in
some places from 20 to '10 feet in height, and are beau-
tifully stratified—to furnish power for the numerous
Rice mills below on the fists. In time of fioods, all
the dividing rocks below the main fall are covered
with water presenting one vast foaming sheet. A
long drought had greatly dimlshed the volume of
stream, when I was there. and materially lessened the
grandeur of the picture.
After clamherlng the rocks, and satisfying ourselves
and our curloslty at the fall, we passed the Teahouse,
a sort of Refreshment room, built on a rock, beside
the main fall, and kept by a Japanese, we there re-
freshed ourselves with Tea, Cake and Oranges the
former was furnished to us to us in debate China
cups, without Cream or Sugar, being tired we relish-
edit, at leestnn eye witness would have thought so,
for every minute would find us asking “0 Cha er a
mas." Have you got more tea! and then a Japanese
“Mersum” girl, would bring out a small pot of tea,
holding about a pint, and fill our cups. I have often
thought of our young Ladies of thirty,(some would say
“Old maids,” Bachelors for instance) drinking four or
five cups of tea at a time, but I honestly confess , that
I drank twice that number; after finishing our frugal
meal, we asked the costs and was told it amounted to
one ltuboo (33 cents) which we considered an ex-
tremely moderate price. werthen bid good bye to the
Teahouse, and retraced our steps toward the vessel
stopping on the way down at e Japanese Temple of
Wei-ship. It was evidently a feast-day for the iidols,
as they had laid before them enormous quantities of
Bread, Cake and Oranges. The Idols consisted of
two life size Images of Tigers, and two of men hav-
ing four armsnnd two heads, (I have often seen simi-
liar representations in the Elndoo Temples in India),
they were trimmed very gorgously in fancy colors of
papers; having very little time to spare, I took a bare
ried glance through the temple, and then repaired to
the vessel, and had a good nights sleep.
1 know of nothing more appropriate than a few ex-
tracts from my Diary. I do not demand anything for
. my trouble, further than to hope they may prove in-
teresting.to the reader. I find great pleasure in writ-
ing them as it helps to pass away the many leisure
momentsl have.
J an: 28th,At Osaka. We came here for the pur-
pose oftaking the minister (Gen. Van Valkenburg)
to Yokohama, as soon as he finishes all necessary af-
fairs. ;
J an. M11. .At nine 8. m., received anote from the
Minister slatidg that he was not prepared to leave
opposition to the Tycoon s
be letters, about 6 Bi“
running in every directionfnot know gwhcre to go,
or what to do, no American or European is allowed
to visit Osaka, and all hosts sent to the shore, from
vessels of War, must have their crews thoroughly
armed and equlped. A large fire (afterwards report-
ed to be Satsume Palace) was seen in the direction of
Osaka, it was burningali day. Japanese Janka or
Flat boats crowded with refugees, were seen coming
out of the mouth of the river, all day, and going to-
ward Diego.
Jan. 80th. At a a. m. a Japanese boat came along-
side, with some ofilccrs (Japanese), bearing a. commu-
nication from the American Minister ashng the Cap-
tain’s permission to allow the ofiiccrs privilege to re-
main on board of this vessel until the arrival of the
‘Tusiiama”, one of the Tycoon f rigates, which was
expected this morning—It was not known who these
officers were, any further than they were attached to
the Tycoons stud—at 7 a. in. the F, arrived, when the
captain of her. (A J sp who was dressed in European
costume, with an American Revolver and a-Japanese
sword at his side, the latter as sharp as a razor) came
on board, with his boat. and transferred .the above
mentioned ofilcers from this vessel to the “Fusijami”
which immediately tookrher departure for Yeddo. I
noticed that all the officers of the F, were well armed
similiar tothe Commander. In the p. in. received
word from the minister that notice had been given to
the dlfi'ereut Legations, saying that they must have
vacated Osaka, by 4 a. m. on the slab, so they com-
menced to make preparations accordingly, and on
Jan. 31st, The several Legathas with their Body
guards, succeeded in pressing some J unks in the ser-
vice, and placing their baggage therein left Osaka,
bound for Fort Thompson, at the mouth of the river,
on the way down, while passing under the bridges,
several stones were thrown at the foreigners, but af-
fected no serious damage. The French Legation hav-
ing left many of their things behind, despatched one
of the members with ‘about a dozen marines back to
Osaka to get them. Whilst on their way, they were
attacked by a mob of natives, armed-with stones, and
three of the marines received several bruises. Ean'.
pcrated by this uncalled for violence, the Matelots
Fusiliers fires two volleys point blank into the crowd,
killing, it is said, five of their assailants, and wound-
ing several others, . A party of English soldiers en-
gaged on a similar errand were also stoned, and their
ember, received a severe blow from a stone. We, in
company with H. M. S. Rattler, sent boats to the fort
to bring 00‘ the Leg-tions, but the wind commencing
to blow very hard, thus creating a very heavy sea the
. Feb. 1st. Large fires were seen during the night
which proved to be Sataamas Godowa. and the town
of Sakai, the latter about six miles float Osaka. At
5 p. m. the sea having calmed considerably; the Logs.
tion commenced to leave the shore, the American,
Prussian, Italian, Dutch Legationa took refuge on this
vessel. Gen. Veg Valkenburg informed us that the
Japanese ofilccrs who were ou-board this vessel on the
30th was the Tycoon and his chief members of staff.
' We were quite surprised to hear that wellad seen the
Tycoon without knowing who he was.
Feb. 2nd. At 8 a. In. flames were seen issuing from
four diluent polnts of the town of Osaka, the prin~
‘clpa'l point was the Tycoon’s castle. It is a building
of immense strength, as large as Fortress Monroe,
and puts a . person greatly in mind of that building.
It is so constructed thatits galls command every avail-
able point of attack. it is surrounded by a deep meat,
but has no drawbrtdges, and appears.» if two or three,

made us keep our eyes open. All Foreigners are or-
dered to go armed, when visiting the shore,
and myself and the other officer with me wor e
our swords and Revolver but we thought of
howlittle use they might be to us, as each one of the
J aps carried two swords but we were finally allowed
to pan! in safety; thinking I might be able to buy
some silks cheap, in anticipation of the burning of
the town I stopped in about twenty silk stores, but
they would not sell anything.
Feb. 4th. Come what will, to, day must ever be
memorable in the annals of Japan. I was not on
shore, until I volunteered to go in the afternoon in
commaad‘of a squad of men from my department. I
will give you an account of what was told me by one
of our officers. About 9.80 a. m. a noraimon (a kind
of chair with a pole running through each end and
carried generally on 4 mens shoulders,) guarded by
about 200 men, passed along the main street. The
occupant was reported to be Hiding Omura, a small
Dnimio from Nagasaki, on his way to Osaka, he pas-
sed through the town very peaceably. About 1 p. in.
‘a body of Japanese, about 150 in number well armed
with spears, Rides, Revolvers and Swords, an hav-
ing with them several small brass field pices, tered
Kobe from the direction of Ilioga. With these men
was an ofiiccr evidently of considerable rank, this
was, as it afterwards turned out, the advance guard
of the retainers of a neighboring Daimo of some con-
siderable importance, the Prince of Bizen, the mount-
ed oillcer was Ikeda Ise the Kerai-no-Kcria’, or Secre-
tary of Bizen, The main body was in Hlogo, some
three miles to the rear. As the advance guard ~pes-
sed through the main street of Kobe, they glanced
scowling about them crying Stanciro, (fall down,) in-
stantly all the natives knelt on the ground, which is
the custom when any high officer came in sight. A
foreigner happening to be in the vicinity, and not
obeying the word of command, one of the Yakonins
(ofilcers) came up to him, and very indignantly re-
peated the word of command, at the same time push-
ing him off the street with the muzzle of his Rifle sev-
eral other foreigners were treated in the same man-
ner. Two French marines crossed the road, and were
returning, but unwilllnz to wait until the troops pas-
sed by. they pushed their way through the road. The
Kerai-nO-Kerai jumped from his horse, made asignai
with his hands, when every native at once knelt.
down. The spear bearers tore 00‘ the covering 'of their
weapons, and one of them rushed up to one of the
marines, and was about to thrust the spear into his
breast. when his companion grasped the naked weap-
on with his hand, and thus saved his comrades life.
The two marines now ran for their lives, the Japanese
firing at them, and upon every foreigner within sight
but owing to their new militar‘y experience, only two
fell victims to their blood thirsty rage, one of them a
French marine, who was shot in the groin, the other
was an apprentice boy, by the name of Clark, belong-
ing to the U. S. S. Oneida, the latter was shot in
the shoulder. The scene of this efi'air was the main
street of Kobe, where it opens on the Forcing ree~
poslte corner is the Legatlon building (Custom
House) while at the back of that is the British Consu-
late. Several Foreigners chanced to be in the main
street or on the plain, at the time the firing commenc-
ed, and several Yakonins fell out of the ranks and fir-
ed at them. At 1.30 the alarm was given, when Mr.
Emory Midshipman in charge of the guards at the Le-
gation building, formed his company, and started in
pursuit of the J aps who fled towards the mountains,
the several vessels of War ordered away all armed
boats, and called for volunteers, all were accepted ex-
cept a few who were retained to work the-vessel. I
volunteered with the rest, and in less than twenty
minutes from the time the alarm was given, no less
than 100 men were on shore, pursuing the flying
troops, no fighting took place, exc'ept a small skir-
mish by the American, French and English marines,
but the J ups only stood a moment, and then dropped
everything and run. The road was. found strewn
with baggage, hastily abandoned by its owners.
Medicine chests, clothing, hats, Sandals, ac, were
seen in every direction. After chasing them for about
three hours, without any hope of overtaking them,
we returned to Kobe. The main body of Bizens men
who had remained between here and Hlogo, made
their escape over the hills during the night. I pick-
. ed up a Sword,Yakonins hat, a part of a coat of mail,
arrows and several small articles dropped by them in
their hasty retreat; everybody was kept on shore, and
thetown placed under the charge of the naval author-
ities. Sentrics and Piquets were posted at the princi-
pal gates, in that part Of the towns where foreigners
reside, and it seemed like old times on the Potomac,
for me to be placed on Military duty again. Earth-
works were thrown up in different parts of the town,
by the British and us, and guns were placed in them.

the pleasure of putting three Japanese captives in
morning and allowed to depart. - Several Proclama-
tions in J apauesc were posted to-day. The following
is the translation of them, as given to me by the in-
terperter to our minister.
The fighting which took place yesterday does not
involve any misfortune to the inhabitants, and there-
for eveu old people, women and children need
not be frt htened. The can-yin ofi' of property, and
country is a great nconvenience to the
sick and such persons, and you will therefore take
care not to create any excitement of this kind. We
have come down here to put down any disturbance,
and you may therefore be free from anxiety.

,Some of Choshins ofiicers came in under flag of
trace to consult with the English Minister, but the
latter would not see them and they were escorted out-
side the lines again. There were three false alarms
to-day, caused by some armed Japanese being seen
in the vicinity of the pickers; as soon as the alarm
was given the Japs disappeared.
Feb. 6th. Everything is as quiet as yesterday; in
the afternoon I took some sailors and had a sand-
bag breast work built and planted there a 12 pound
howitzer.
Feb. 7th. Took a boat and four men and made a
raid upon a best used by two men as a grog store.
These men had been warned pot to sell liquor to the
sailors, but concluded to do as they pleased and suf-
fer the conscquenees, which resulted in the breaking
of over 800 bottleslof whiskey. . _
Feb. 8th. About 1 o'elock, a. m., six Yakonins
(one of whom carried um gold-embroidered flags and
appeard to be of high rank) accompanied by coolies,
attempted to pass through the gate in the main street,
guarded by U. S. Marines. The guard was turned
out and the frightened coelies took to their heels pur-
sued by some of the men, one of them with drawn
sword turned upon one of the Onclda‘s marines and
attempted to cut him, the marine threw up his mus-
ket to guard the cut and received it upon his left’
hand, cutting three of his fingers ofi', thus saving his
life; a sailor belonging to this vessel had a piece of
his chin cut ofi' by the same person. The guard euc-
ceeded in enacting three of the Yakonins and one of
the coolies, who were lodged in the guard- house at
the Legatlon building; ate a. m., they were examined
by the American Minister’s Interpreter. On it being
ascertained they were some of the retainers of Tozs
they were allowed to depart. The flags were said
to be presents from the Mikado to Ten. At 1 o’clock,
p. m., the Envoy Extraordinary of his majesty the Mi-
kado or Kyndkama of Japan arrived here froufllio-
go in an open Japanese boat. attended by a guard of
seven two-sworded men and a boy. the latter carried
a white flag bearing a- black, device representing the
sun. The envoy upon landing at the Legatlon lpilld-
ing was received by ds of honor‘from II. M. 9th
Regt. H. I. M. S. Lsplaée, and' the marines of the U.
S. S. Iroquois and Oneida. He at once walked into
the building, looking n'cither to the right or the left,
the Japanese dropping. on their knees instantly. His
Excellency was dressed in court costume (never be.
fore seen by lbrope ), and wore a cream colored silk
robe; on his head e wore a peculiar beskeblike
small cap. After remaining closeted with the foreign ’
representatives for about three hours the Envoy left
in “English boat with one of his guard and the boy,
the rest of‘ his guard went in an American man-of-
war best, an English officer and myself accompanied
him to an Inglis]: gnuboet which took him to Htogo.

Gen. Grant’s Letter of Acceptance.
The following is Gen. Grant’s reply to the
nomination of the Chicago Convention:
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 29, 1868.
To Gen. Joseph R. Hazclcy, Freudian! Nation-
al Union Republican Concenfm .-
In formally accepting the nomination of
the National Union Republican Convention
of the 2lst of May inst, it seems proper that
some statement of views beyond the mere
acceptance of the nomination should be ex-
pressed. The pfoccedings of the Conven-
tion were marked with wisdom, moderation
and patriotism, and I believe express the
feelings of the great mass of those who sus-
tained the country through its recent trials.
I endorse their resoultions. If elected to the
ofiicc of President of the United States,'it
will be my endeavor to administer all the
laws in good faith, with economy, and with
the view of giving peace, quiet, and protec-
tion everywhere. In times like the present
it. is impossible, or at least eminently im-
proper, to lay down a policy to be adhered
to, right or wrong, through an administration
of four years. New political issues,not fore?
Sven, are constantly arising; the views of the
public on old ones are constantly changing;
and a purely administrative ofiicer should
always be left free to execute the will of the
people. I always have respected that will
and always shall. Peace and universal pros-
perity—its sequence—with economy of ad-
miip'stratiou, will lighten the burdens of tax-
ation, ‘while it constantly reduces the na-
tional debt. Let us have peace.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT.
The Acceptance ofSpeuker Colka.
The following is the reply of Speaker 001-
fax to the same Committee: _
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 30, 1898.
,Em. J. R. Hensley, President of the National
Union Republican Convention.
DEAR Sm :’ The platform adopted by the
patriotic Convention over which you presi-
ded, and the resolutions which so happily
supplement it, so entirely agree with my
views as to a just national policy, that my
thanks are due to the delegates as much for
this element] auspicious declaration of prin-
ciples, as for the nomination with which I
have been honored, and which I grittefully
accept. When a great rebellion which im-
perilletl the national existence was at last
overthrown, the duty ofall others devolving
on those intrusted with the responsibilities
of legislation evidently was to require that
the revoltcd States should be re-admitted to
participation in the Government against
which they had erred only on such a basis
as to increase and fortify, not to weaken ’or
endanger, the strength and power of the na-
tion. Certainly, no one qught to have claim-
ed that they should be re-admitted under
such rule that their organization as States
could ever again be used, as at the opening
of the war, to defy the national authority or
to destroy the national unity. _This principle
has been the pole star of those who have
inflexibly insisted on the Congressional pol-
icy your Convention so cordially endorsed.
Refusals to accept any plan of reconstruc-
tion proffered by Congress, justice and public
safety at last combined to teach us that only
by an enlargement of suffrage in those States
could the desired end be attained, and that
it was even more safe to give the ballot to
those who loved the Union than to those
who had sought inefi'ectually to destroy it.
The assured success of this legislation is be-
ing written on‘the adamant of history, and
will be our triumphant vindication. More
clearly, too, than ever before does the nation
now recognize that the greatest glory of a
republic is that it throws the shield of its
protection over the humblest and weakest of
its people, and vindicates the rights Of the
poor and the powerless as faithfully as those
of the rich and the powerful! I rejoice, too,
in this connection, to find in your platform
the frank and fearless avowal that natural-
ized citizens must be protected abroad at
every hazard; as though they were native
born. Our whole people are foreigners, or
descendants offoreigners. Ourfathersestab-
lished by arms that right to be called a na-
tion. It remains for us to establish the right
to welcome to our shores all who are willing
by their oaths of allegiance, to become Amer-
ican citizens. Perpetual allegiance,as claim-
ed abroad,is only another name for perpetual
bondage, and would make all slaves, to soil
where first they Saw the light. Our nation-
al cemetries prove how faithfully these oaths
of fidelity to their adopted land have been‘
sealed in the life—blood of thousands upon
thousands. Should we not then be faithless
to the dead if we did not protect their living
brethren in the full enjoyment of that nation-
ality for which, side by side with the'native
horn, our soldiers of foreign birth laid down
their lives! It was fitting, too, that the rep-
resentatives of a party which had proved
so true to national duty in time of war,
should speak so clearly in time of peace for
the maintenance, unfurnished, of the nation-
al credit, and good faith as regards its debt,
the cost of our national existence. I do not
need to extend this reply by further com-
ment on a platform which has elicited such
hearty approval throughout the land. The
debt of gratitude it acknowledges to the
brave men who savedethe Union from de-
struction, the frank apprOval of amnesty
based on repentance and loyalty, the demand
for the most thorough sconomy and honesty
in the government, the sympathy of the party
of liberty with all throughout the World who
long for the liberty we here enjoy, and the
recognition of the sublime principles of the
Declaration of Independence, are worthy of
the organization on whose banners they are
to be written in the coming contest. Its, past
record cannot be blotted out or forgottenf
If there had been no Republican party, slay--
ery, would to-day cast its balefiil shadow
oyer the Republic. If there had been no
Republican party, a thee press and free speech
would be as unknown from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande as 'ten years ago. If the Re-
publican party could have been stricken from
existence when the banner of rebellion Was
‘uufurlcd,and when the respbnse of “no coer-
cion” Was heard at the North, we would
have hlid no nation tO-day. But for the Re-
publican party daring to risk the odium of
tax and draft law's, our flag could not have
been kept flying in the field 'until the long
hoped for victory came. Without a Repub-
lican party, the Civil Rights bill—the guar-
antee of equality under the law to the bum- .
ble and the defenecless, as well as to the ‘
strong—would not be tO-day upon our na-
tional statute book. With such inspiration
fiom the past, and following the example of
the founders of the republic, who called the
victorious General of the Revolution to pre-
side over the land his triumphs had saved
them its enemies, I cannot doubt that our
labors will be crowned with success; and it
will be a success that shall bring restored
hope, confidence, prosperity, and progress;
South as well as‘ North, West as well as East
and, above all, the blessings under Provi-
dence, of national concord and peace. Very
truly yours, SCHUYLER COLFAX.

The Turf and the Trotting none
In America.
. [(Jontinuedfrom tact week]
The first noticeable race of the year 1802
was that of Lady Emma and Jilt, on Long
Island. Lady Emma was a granddaughter
of Abdallah, and every way worthy of her
descent from that patriarch of trotters. In
the race with Jilt she made the following
suprassing.record,-—2 In. 28 1-2 s., 2 m. 29 1-4
s., 2 m. 30 s., 2 In. 31 s. .This was followed
by the race between two great horses, Ethan
Allen and Robert Fillingham, or George
Wilkes as he is now called. The latter is by
the celebrated Messenger horse Hambleton-
ian of Chester,—-—with one exception the only
son of Abdallah living, and the sire of more
great trotting horses than any horse that has
ever lived in America. George Wilkes has
all the characteristics of the Hambletonian
stock,——fine size, great muscular develop-
ment, smooth long stride, and superior endu-
rance. He beatEthan Allen in three straight!
heats, in 2 m. 24 3-4 s., 2 m. '15 3-4 s., and 2
m. 31 s. ‘
In October of the same year the first race
between the horses General Butler and Rock-
ingham Wits tfottcd, to wagons, on the Fash-
ion Course, Long Island. General Butler is a
very remarkable horse. He developed slow-
ly, anti came- to his great speed only after
long and careful training. He has shown
lasting powers equal to those of old Top Gal-
lant.’ Rockingham was bred in Massachu-
setts, where he was known as the Granger
colt. He was a large, flea-bitten gray horse,
of very stylish appearance, and a great trot-
ter. In this race five heats were trotted,—
Rockingham winning the firsf'two, in 2 m,
30 1-4 s., and2 In. 29 1-4 s.-, and General But-
ler the last three, in 2 m. 28 3., 2m. 27 s.,and
2 in. 30 s. The second and third of their
races were both won by Rockinglam, in the
third of which he trotted a mile under the -
saddle in 2 m. 22 1—4 s.
The famous feat of the Ledger team,” Lady
Palmer and Flatbush Maid, also took place
in the season of this year, 1862, on the Fash-
ion Coursc, Long Island, on the day of the
race between the black mare Sunnyside and
Gray Eddy. As Sunnyside was a new-
comer of great pretension, a large concourse
Of people had assembled to witness her first
performance. After the race was over, it
was whispered that Mr. Bonner would give '
his mares a trial of one mile; and his appear-
ance on the course in his road wagon, driv-
ing the well-known beauties, detained the
whole assembled multitude. The reason of
this public exhibition of the speed of a pair
of horses kept strictly for private amusement
by a gentleman strongly opposed to betting,
and all the demoralizing as ries of the
turf, was known tomsfliy li'pbn fie“ grounds,
and tended to intensify- their interest. A few
years before, MrJOhner had taken up driv-
ing for his health. On the .roads about the
city, among othersrhe met Commodore Van: ._
derbilt, the great;ste’§mship bwuerrwhuhaif
for many years been known as an indefitig': I
able roadife and horseman: cy fire ac-
customed to‘ meet at what is khOwn es the
Club House ' on Harlem Lane, where easy
and pleasant social intercourse, enlivened by
there, made an
ageeable. ~ On on ‘3' 7
bada'nage took"p ‘ -
Vanderbilt and Mr. speed of
their respeCtive teamé, ted in a last-
ing rivalry. Mr. George Wilk s, writing of
this rivalry, says: “It was a fair contest.
Commodore Vanderbilt was worth eight or
nine millions of dollars, and Mr. Bonner had
an income of considerably more than one
hundred thousand a year, Every one, there-
fore, looked on with pleasure at this rivalry,
and the efforts each gentleman made to SC
cure preeminence made the contest conspicu-
ous to all lookers-on.” The efforts here re-
ferred to were efforts to obtain the fastest
horses in the market. As Mr. Bonner would
not accept a bet .of ten thousand dollars, he
Offered the Commodore the alternative of
competing in a friendly way, should he see
fit, with- the time that he should make with
his horses in a public trial. 0n the day in
question the Commodore was on the course,
and, by request, held a watch upon the
horses, and took note of the time made.
When Mr. Bonner brought out his team
there was a murmur of admiration. The
horses were well matched, of the 'finestmould '
full of life and elastic vigor, and moved to-
gether as if they obeyed a single impulse.
Lady Palmer is a dark chestnut Glencoe
mare, of fine thorough-bred appearance, but
has bone and muscle in abundance, where
bone and music are needed in trotting. Flat-
bush Maid is of the same height, but of heav-
ier build. She has the compact and solid
form and vigorous action which indicate
ability to carry weight and trot a long race.
In the preliminary skirmishes, previous to
starting, it became apparent that both were
in the best condition for the trial. Mr. Ben-
ner now gave them a turn around the course
gradually increasing the rate of speed, and
passed over the score for the trial at a
flying gait. The quarter pole was passed in
38 1-2 seconds, and, urged on to their utmost
endeavor, the team increased the pace, and
crossed the score in 2 m. 32 1-2 8. But Mr.
Bonner did not stop them at the end of the
first mile. He pushed straight forward for
the second mile, rightly estimating'that in
the first half of the first mile they hadnot
been quite up to the mark. But they were
now fully down to the work. They moved
with the steadiness of a locomotive, end as
they came upon the homestretch, they ap-
peared to put forth all their strength. The
eyes of thousands, were upon them as they
came flying on; and as they passed over the
’the score, they were greeted with a general
exclamation of delight and a universal elapv
ping of hands. The time had not been an-
nounced, but all were satisfied that it was a
great improvement upon the previous record
though few were prepared to hear 2 m, 28
3-4 9. announced them the judges‘ stand.
This made the time of" the two miles 5 m.
1 1-4 s. It was entirely unprecedented; the
best time on record being that of Lady Suf-
folk and Ride, of two miles in 5 In. 19 5., made
May 31, 1842, and of one mile in 2 m. 42 s.,
by Lantern and Whalebone in 1856. After
learning the time in which his horses bad
trotted, Mr. Bonner publicly declared that,
while it was a rule With him never to make
a bet, he would present ten thousandldollars
as agvfl to any gentleman who owne'd a team,
if he would drive them in the time just made
"by Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid,- and
this, although the time was not so good by
nearly three seconds as that of a private
trial, namely, 2 m. 26 9., made a few days
previous. .
This great feat, and the circumstances out
of which it arose,had more influence in draw-
ing public attention to driving the trotting
horse than any other single occurrence in his
whole history. Mr. Bonner‘s refusal to bet
somewhat dispelled the fancy that it was im-
possible to own a fast horse without using
him for gambling purposes; which fancy
had arisen from the fact that running horses
in America are of no use except upon the
turf. Taken with the established populari-
ty of driving, and the increased'fnciiities for
it provided in trotting-parks and improved
roads, that refusal assisted inrmallhi' _ @1110 use
of the fast trotting horse g‘eueral,undin free-
ing a perfectly innocent and healthful amuse—
ment from‘a disreputable odor which had
foi- many years attached to it.
