This person was shortly after removed
from the ground 10 Philadelphia.
| In the meanwhile, several others were
extricatcd, more or less injured--some

kinds Of litters, insensible, to the
Whitehall Hotel, near the course
This gave rise to report that they
were dead. Several others were con-
Quoted to various vehicles about, and
conveyed principally 10 the city, while
still greater numbers might be seen
with their heads covered up, their ia
ces clotted with blood, others with their
arms in sings, and many limping a
way as we'll as they were able. In
this state, in the space Of about TWEEN,
ty minutes, some ffty-three persons
were counted; but doubtless the num-
Der was much greater, as many were
conveyed by their friends TO distance
as quickly as possible.
The more dangerously hurt were
conveyed to Whitehall, where several
medical gentlemen Were promptly in
attendance and rendered the most val
liable services to the unfortunate

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.

ALP. M. there could not be fewer
than $4,000 present, on the stands, IN
the field track and parts adjacent
About ten minutes after one o'clock,
the bugle sounded to bring up the hor-
ses. Shortly after they appeared, and
as soon as it was known that they
were on the ground, the persons on
the public stand, which was crowded
at the time, rushed to the front to catch
a glimpse Of them. Atthat moment a
sharp crack was heard, and some one
called out, the stand is falling This
being thought to be mere act Of folly,
commonly called joke, the party was
highly reprobated by a gentleman be-
longing to the courSe-hut he had
scarce got the censure out of his mouth
when another crack was heard, andthe
stand, amidst loud shout of horror,
was seen to shelve inwards TO the
track ,encasing both the reprobater and
the reproba,ed in lis ruins, as well as
several others, both on the stand, and
parts adjacent.
The mob on the outside and in the
field track, broke through all the fen
ces and rails and rushed to the spot Of
the accident, and promptly and ener-
getically began TO remove the ruins
The first person taken out was highly
resDectably dressed. he appeared to
be severely injured about the face and
head. and was quite insensible--many
declared him quite dead. He was
carried to i carriage in the field track,
where Dr.. Nc Clellan was soon in at
tendance; who said the gentleman was
not dead, but had receiYed concus-

CHARACTER OF THE DUTCH.

II is very well known that habit pre-
walls almost everywhere of undertaking
and disparaging Dueth character and
Dutchmen. Holland, though occupy
ing a territory not larger than the State
of Maryland, was the first among the
nations of Europe to take stand in
favor of liberty, and single handed,
maintained a sixty years war in its de-
fence, against the greatest odds. At
time when France and England were
yet enveIoped in bigotry and supersti-
ton, Holland had achieved for herself
civil and religious freedom, and opened
her bosom as an asylum for the oppres-
sed Hnguenots; while others, the pill
grim fathers, sought refuge from perse-
cution in the wilds of America. Hol-
land foro time took the lead of all the
surrounding nations in commerce, in
science, in arts, and in arms. For the
invention of the telescope, microscope,
thermometer, pendulum, gunpowder
and printing, the world is indebted 10
the Dutch. Sears Magazine.
