| -PLESDlD INVITING MATCH OVER THE DEACoN
COURSE, YEsrERDAY-As we anticipated, most
interesting trot, and worthy Of the beginning Of the
fall season, and if the spirit is maintained through
out, il will be Of the most interesting seasons
that the annals OF trotting ever presented The at
| tendance this occasion was very numerous; all
the choice spirits Of sport that locate in this vicini
ty were present every stand was pretty we'll full,
and all was life and spirits. The betting was pret-
ty animated previous to the commencement; the
odds were Lady Suffolk against the field, or to 2
on her against either Of the others, and takers.
Awful did not show, therefore was no where, but
there were some inquiries as to the why and the
wherefore, but nothing very satisfactory was eli
cited The following is the entry:-

All thesanimas appeared in first rate condition,
indeed, never better; the Lady II anything appear
ed rather fleshy, but the result showed not SO much
so as to retard her powers Duchess was in splen-

| show as we have before seen him.
| Shortly after four O'Clock, the horses
| brought up and placed mentioned, and at the
first attempt, the word was given, and they went
forth in beautiful style, almost all abreast, any,

the first quarter broke twice, but soon recovered.
and Washington, at the half led, but shsrty after
| broke by this time the Dutchess had rallied and
come up, but on nearing the three-quarters broke
| again, and the Lady, who was IN close attendance
all the time, took her place, and appeared to have
| the lead on the turn towards home. Down the
strait course, the struggle was most beautiful, and
a hard pace was kept up by all, but shortly after
passing the distance her adyship again broke, and
the struggle lay between Washington and Dutchess,
| and most splendid brush for home was made,
which they reached in gallant style,. 50 that the
casual spectator could scarcely tell which led. bui
| Washington did so by about halt length, Lady
/ Suffolk about two or three lengths behind. This
heat was performed in minutes, 38 seconds.
In the second heat, Washington led but they were
all well up together and maintained their position
10 the l. when the Lady took the lead to the l.
Washington in close attendance; the first mile Of

the top they appeared all in group,but nearingthe
distance the Duchess broke and threw her chance
| out, and the Lady led home about length in ad-
vance Of Washington in beautiful style, the Dutch
| ess about the same space behind Washington; the
mile being performed in minutes, ,33t seconds, be-
ing about the best time made during the past twelve
| months.
The betting was now three to two on Lady Suf
| folk but with few takers They went forth for the
third heat, the Lady leading all the way round to

shin arrived in minutes 81 seconds closely wait
ed on by the Duchess, Washington about five or
/ six lengths after her.
| 1t was now 20 to 5 on the Lady, which was taken
to some extent. They went forth in gallant style
tor the next heat, Lady Suffolk leading; and 1t was
pretty evident the others had almost enough of it.,
| and that accident alone would save them; at the
first quarter she was some SIX lengths In advance,
Washington gradually falling off as he proceeded,
leaving all the work to be done by the Duchess,
who strove hard TO do it in proper style, but, alas,
without effect; the old favorlte too much for
her, she doing the half mile in II. The Duchess
still struggled hard round the top and gained rlife
her opponent, but without avaIllng much; In the
meanwhile Washington continued to fall off, When
/ nearing the distance, Whelan put forth all his ener

| true it is success cannot always be commanded,
| although the parties may deserve it, and Lady Suf
folk came in three lengths in advance, Washington
near half distance behind. The heat was per-
formed in minutes, 81 seconds, her Ladyship win
ming in most beautiful style, to the satisfaction OF
every one present-barriGg few losers.

| ANELLls ORIGINAL PAINTING THE END OF THE
| WoRLD,-A private inspection of thispantng took
place yesterday at the Apollo Rooms, Broadway.
1t is truly one Of the finest productions of art OF
modern times, and is only equalled by Dubois pic
lures OF Adam and Eve in the Garden Of Eden,
and their expulsion therefrem this painting being
somewhat in the same style; with this exception,
that the former contains only two figures tine latter
between 40 and so The original design of the
painting was suggested by dream, while the paint.
ing is studied and adapted TO the Revelation of ST
John, and to passages in the Prophecies Of Dan.
el, Isaiah, and other portions Of the Scriptures.
The printed description, which may be had in
the room, leaves but little to say in that respect;
it is both ample and complete. The subject Of the
painting is-the sun shines brightly over the
earth, and the calm hour has sufused its quietness
and repose upon all nature, when animate and
inanimate existence seems to forget all solicitude
and resigns itself to enjoyment. Suddenly, nature
assumes strange appearance, and the light OF day
fades 10 a slckly hue before the premature shades
of Darkness which all awakens among the alarm
ed, the Inquiry for the cause, and while the be-
widered multitude ale held in doubts, the heavens
deepen from lurid red to The dye OF blood
Thunder shakes the globe, and terror holds the
amazed-escape seems their only aim-but time
has gone, and the last hour is come The hea
vens of fire and blood are now traversed by dark
clouds, until they leave all in darkness, save the
hue of blood that streams around the fiery hor
zon-the earth shakes, and the fire falling from
the high dark on the lurid pillows of the dstan
sea, all together combine TO render the scene, fo
its terror, indescribable and horrifc Beholt
again, light, for its efulgencc, before
gl-ams suddenly from out the darker part IF the
