character It appears that the long contest
between the two brothers in Portugal was a.
bent drawing IN clpse, and that Don Carlos
by his fight to England would no longer keep

Extraordinary Trot.ing Match.-A bet OF
| fifteen hundred dollars was made some time
since, By Mr.. B. Re. ThieN. nf this city, that
his two horses would lrot in harness one hum
dred miles IN ten hours, over the CentreyiIle
Troiting Course. This match against time
came OF on Saturday. The weather was
propitious. there being no sun and the course
10 fne order. The horses, which are not
thorough bred. but ordinary road horses, start
ed at 90 minutes past o'clock. and perform
ed their task 10 two minutes and twenty-five
seconds less than thu time allotted them. AT
starting the bets were two to one against the
horses. After they had gone the frst fifty
miles. however, opinions changed, and bets
were freely offered in their favsr. At eighty
miles the horses appeared good deal dis
tressed, and their hackers seemed aaxieus To
back out. A feeling that the horses would
give in seemed iadeed geuerally to prevail
during the last twenty miles, uetil the last half
mile. But they got through their unprece-
dented task, and wen the match for their
owners in hours, 81 minutes and So seconds.
The crowd on the course was immense. and
large sums Of money were bet during the
day. The horses were driven 10 light wag-
g.n, and Mr.. George 9pieer was the Feins-
man. Nothing equal to this, has ever been
done IN any country before. Tom Thumb
tFotted ia England 100 miles in 10 hours and
q minutes, but It was in single harness
