$4,000 "A side, the distance, four mile
heats, and the match to be run over the
Canton course, Baltimore, this day two
weeks. The Decatur party gave till
Thursday next to decide whether he
shall run. The horses are both five
years old, and have won great honors
on the turf. The race of Decatur a,
Washington last week, in which he
beat Fanny Wyatt, n match for $40,
600 side, has added greatly TO his re-
putaiinn. He run miles in 7 minutes
aud 35 seconds, and came IN under a
hard pull. The first three miles of the
second hent were run IN minutes and
80 seconds-when Fanny Wyatt was
stopped, and he galloped round. On
that day he would have been II lormi-
dable rival for any horse in the country
to have encountered. Boston has new

adjacent islands, favorable to the accumulation of

degree, to the interests of the great mass,

same time, however, Parks had a majority over
Kent Of 8 votcs--now the wing ticket has prevailed
in favor of Robinson, by majority ofl. And in
choosing town officers the wings have succeeded in
every particular, on strict PARTY grounds, except
one Seectman, whom they did not oppose, from
other and higher considerations. The Loco's were
organized in every School District in the town, and
put in operation every device in thes powero carry
