mile heats yesterday morning, William Jones enter
ed his bay horse Treasurer, and Samuel Lard,
brown horse Mariner. The purse was S5O0-$lo0
| to the second best horse.
Mariner was the favorite previous to the start by
short odds.
| Fua heat.-Marner took the lead, and kept it,
from one to two lengths ahead, for the first mile,
which was run slow in IN. % IS. On the second
mile he widened the gap to four lengths before
reaching the hall mile post, and held it to the
Judges stand, still going sow-the second mile in
m. 81 S. On the third and last mile there was con-
siderable excitement, the running in the other
two had been too slow to last. Mariner kept the
lead about length until they passed the first quarter
post, when Treasurer's rider began to move him,
and on making brush the half mile post, passed
his opponent about neck, both going at killing
pace. He held his advantage, adding little to il
as they came near the last quarter, when Mariner
made desperate struggle to get the lead, but could
not come it, and Treasurer the heat by about
| length only. Time of last mile m. 5Ois. Whole
heat m 55a S.
| The horses cooled off well, Treasurer being a
little soft, but otherwise in excellent condition,
and at the sound of the bugle all were ready for
! the
|
ran about even on the result Mariner took the
lead from the start, and kept about length ahead,
both going at moderate pace, and passing over the
first mile IN I'm. SIS On the first quarter Of the Sc
coLd mile they began to increase their speed Mari
ner going nearly his best, and kept in about the
same position, doing tin I'm. 55s Un the third and
last mile, Mariner was the lead full two lengths
as they came near the half mile post, when Trea-
surer made brush to win the heat, but did not sue
coed in passing him at the first effort AS they
came down the last quarter bets were made both
ways the winner of the heat and it was difficult
10 which the foremost. Both were whip
ping to the top, and not until their noses at the
scratch was 1t ascertained that Treasurer had won
the heat and the purse by only about halt his length
Time of last mile In 54s. Whole heat ON. 46s
Mariner won the three mile purse at Trenton last
week, beating TruxtoD and Diana Syntax and dis
tancing Charlotte Cushman. Time 5.53, 5 AZ, 5.52.
| This is the first purse won by Treasurer since his
race with Andrewetta, on this course, in 1910, when
| he won the three mile purse ia one heat-time SIN
| 42s.-the best made in this country we be
lieve. The star of Major Jones is in the ascendant
after long reverse.
SECOND RAcE.-The second race was for mile
heats purse of $50, with $40 entrance to be added
Charles S. Lloyd, entered chesnut horse Red
gauntlet; H. A. Conover, serrel horse Miracle, and
L. Porter, brown Prima Donna. The latter
" as the favorite, aud won the heat in In 5lts.;
Miracle coming in second and tapping her, while
Red Gauntlet was half distance in the rear.
Second Hcat.-Red Gauntlet was Withdrawn, and
Prma Donna and Miracle started for the heat,
which was we'll contested, and won by the latter by
length, in I'm. 54s
The only entry for the four mile heats to-day, is
that of Fashion, who will take the purse by gallop-
ing around the course at one o'clock. There will,
therefore, be no race. For the mile heats purse
$50 with $40 entrance to be added, Charles S.
Lloyd entered brown colt full brother to Horn
blower, three years old, but as there was no other
entries, no will come off.
1t is contemplated to have a second fall meeting
over the course, if either Fashion and Boston, or
Blue Dick can be induced to enter for four mile
purse.
Much excitement exists relative 10 the meeting at
Camden on Saturday the 18th inst. 1t is supposed
that Fashion and Blue Dick, or Boston, will GER
tainly meet there, and the second named horse
has recently made some splendid performances over
the mountains nVirginia, calculations making by
those who go the odds, to fill their wallets on the
| result There is no doubt that he is better match
for the stop OF the turf than old "Whte Nose,"
| anu Heet, tUlS OplilOn VIII Oe confessed Dy
| the result. There is no break down in Blue Dick
| he is perfect pealer in speed and bottom, and
will drive Fashion to her ork whenever they come
| together
The notion, for such we must call it, that Boston
and Blue Dick will both be entered against Fashion
is without foundation as it is understood the two
| former are both in Col. Johnsons stable.
The DUEL INDIcTMENT-The Courier IL Enquirer
has some very amusing remarks on the recent indic
ment for the duel in which Tom Marshall figured so
largely. The Courier gives variety Of reasons that
did not cause the indictment, and then winds up
with the ntmation that made from the circum-
stance that certain locofocos and abolitionsts were
on the Grand Jury. We can give better reason
for the finding.
We always supposed that indictment was found
in consequence of two men going out and firing at
each other with loaded pstols-and trying to muir
der each Other with bullets, but came OF with
ball in the leg of one of the parties If that event
had not taken place, all the locofocos and abolition
lists in the world could not have found the indict-
| ment. As well might the Courier attribute such
finding to the cut of the breeches worn by the Grand
Jury.
We should think "Col Webb of the regular
army would indicate more policy to submit &c
his fate, instead of insulting the Grand Jury or the
feelings OF the public by such articles. The day to
settle accounts with the pugilist and duelst has
come-and they must meet it.

| PACKET SHIP WEsTcHEsrER.-By the energy If
Capt Ferris, this ship, which has been thirtv6ve
days ashore, was assisted oiiyesterd morning and
towed to the city by the powerful tug boat Mutual
Safety, Capt. Davis. She was 20 long on the beach
| that do not believe she is worth much now
scarcely worth repairing Seldom, if ever, however,
