ORIGIN AND ANTIQUITY OF
IIORSE.RACING.

Having shown i'll our paper Of last
week upon this subject that horseracing,
originally derived from the East, was a
portion of the ceremonies used in cclc-
brating the festivities of NIithras, or the
sun, and that this worship finding its
way into Greece and Rome. it was sub
scqucntly transplantcd BY the Romans
into England that the English have
adopted many of the manners and Gus
toms Of the Romans is very evident to
any observing reader of the social his
tory of that peoplc-let us now inquire
how closely We have followed them in
respect of horse-racing.
We have already said that the races
Of Rome were run in the open country
till Tarquinius Priscus built the grand
circus in which the races were after
wards performed. How far the horses
ran before they got to the last meta
from the starting place is not expressed
by historians, but we are informed that
the above circus is said to be about two
thousand one hundred and sixty.seven
Roman feet in length, and nine hundred
and sixty broad, of semi-circnlar form
at one end, the other extending in q
right line, but rather circular; aud that
the races commonly ended at the sew
enth turn round the mctae, though now
and then we meet with, upon extraor-
dinary occasions, fewer heats. The
number and length Of the heats also va

Bob's prosecutors amongst the rest
whilst he, poor wretch, sat upon The
beach, exhausted, up to his neck in the
water. The unfortunate animal that
Ned had seized was left behind. Bob
could mt imagine, ,..--unlcss it had been
wounded in the encounter.
Ned had gone for the skif. when the

him. A feeling Of vengeance sprung
up in Bob's breast, and being sufficient.

quarts,.-as he stated, of salt water, he
rose suddenly, and gave chase. The
crltter 'loco1notcd' rapidly. Bob was
too swift for her, he ovcrhaulcd her,
and we presume had battle, or an cx-
planatlon, if they talk, or something
OF the kind, for he did notrcturn. Mean
time Ned having rightcd the skiF and
anchored her, walked up the beach to
find Bob, or home, or both, or either.
In so doing, stumbled over frock and

know what! Itlooked something like
a shirt, only that it was sleeveless and
longer. At any rate, Ned took it home
and made very minute examination
thereof. but to no purpose, for though
he cnquired diligently, there was no one

ry of the Mermaid it should always be
mentioned that the creature evinces
certain degree of womanly dclicacv,
and unless in ve'y hot nights, clothes
itself after the manner Of females ster-

That this is true of the genus, uni
vcrsally, he perhaps would hesitate to
aver, but Of the species to be found in
the waters of New Jcrsy he is qualified
to speak positivcly,--as he yet retains
the evidence thereof in the garments
aforesaid (which differ in no apprccia-
Olc degree from those worn BY nymphs

Some two years after this occurrence
he was placed in position to speak
with more certainty as to the close re-
scmhlancc borne by this animal to the
human race, by the receipt Of an invi-
tation to attend the wedding of his fishy
friend, Robert Stimson, ESQ, who, al:
ter the ceremony, took Ned aside and
whispered him, in strict confidence, so
don't you mention it, dear reader
to 'living soul,'--that that the la
dy was the identical Mermaid that he
(Bob) had chased and captured on that
memorable occasion.
Ned assured me on his 'honor,' that
she was in no wise distineuishable from
a very pretty, healthy looking woman!
