traveling and of luggage, entirely changed, and no other
business than race-brines. any logger existed on the face of
the earth. The talk wag all of hones and "John Scott."
Duels whispered behind theh hands to elation-masters, of
horses and John Scott. Men in cut-away coats and speckled
cravats, fastened with peculiar pine, and with the large bear
of their legs developed under tight trusser, so that they
*lurid look as much as possible like horses' legs, pared up
and down by twos at junction-stations, speaking low and
moodily of horses and John Sett. The young clergyman
in the black strait-waircut, who occupied the middle seat
of the ourigge, expounded la his peculiar pulpit-acegat
to the young and lovely Reverend Mfg. Crinoline,
who occupied the opposite middle-rat, • few pall•

Cidals burgher of the ancient period much degenerated,
was courted by the lest society, by MIMI of what he had to
hint, when not engaged in eating straw, concerning
" Charles and Joon Scott." The legthe•driver Weenie as

meter station to keep the crowd off; temporary wooden
menus of ingress and egress, to help the crowd on. Forty
extra porters sent down for this present blessed race-wick,
and all of them making up their bettiag-booka in
the lamp-room or somewhere else, and none of
them to come and touch the luggage. Travellere disgorged
