GREAT TEN MILE TRoTTINa MATCH OVER CEN
TREvILLE COURSE, LONG IsLAND.-There is to be
Of the most interesting trots Of the season to
come of over the above track tomorrow, and
when it is borne in mind what was done by some
Of the same animals on recent similar match, it
no doubt will excite considerable attention. On
the occasion alluded to, it was done in 20 minutes
SO seconds, and it is generally thought that it
will be performed in still less time. Miss Fortune
will, no doubt, give better account Of herself on
this, than on the previous OCCASION she lost her
chance by mistake OF her driver, who thought he
was only entering upon his ninth mile when he was
on his tenth, and he consequently made no push
for it until it was too late, and then only lost by
length or two.

willtell you where I think lies the Sc.
cret Of aristocratIc beauty OF England. 1t
is in the lofty mdintsin of the head and
bust-of the proud carriage, il you re-
mark, in all those women-the head set
back, the chest elevated and expanded,
and the whole port and expression that of
pride and conscious superiority. This,
mind you, though the result Of qualities in
character, is not the work of dav, nor
perhaps OF single generation. The eff.
feet OF expanding the breast. and prcserv.
ing the back straight, and the posture gen.
orally erect, is the high health and conse-
gent beauty of those portions of the frame;
and the physical advantage handed down
with the pride which produced it, from
mother TO child, the race gradually has
l'ecome perfect in those points, and the
look Of pride and high-bcaring is now ca.
sy, natural, and unconscious. Glance
your eye around. and you will see tina,
there is not defective bust, and hardly
head i'll set on, in the room. In an as
sembly of any other part Of the world, to
find perfect bust with gracefully car.
ried head, is as difficult as here to find the
exception. ~ Y. Mirror.
