TRIBUTE OF REsPEcr-At a called meeting of
Deluge Fire Co. No. B. held Friday evening" tie
following preamble and resolutions were unan;-
mously adopted:
We are called together by the sad intelligence of
the death of a fellow member, and in view of the
kindly esteem with which he was regarded, whilst
living, by all both in his personal relations and as
a member Of this company, we would in some de-
Gree exp ss our sorrow at the loss of one who will be
ever missed in our ranks This mournful bereave-
ment impresses us the more deeply from its being
sounexpected But yesterday and he, whose mem
DRY calls forth this humble tribute, was with in
ali the buoyancy Of health-to-day, the badges Of
mourning tell that we shall "see him no more for
ever" Thus summoned by the Great Ruler" it
becomes US not to murmur at the departure of our
brother Fireman. 1T the same time, however, we
feel that it is a melancholy privilege to sadly speak
our regrets for his early DEATH and in some slight
degree to offer our heartfelt sympathy TO his sor-
rowing relatives. Therefore be it -
Resolre3 That in the death of the late JAMES A.
DIGGoNs, nc have to deplore the loss Of a highly
esteemed aud most respected friend and leliow-hre-
man.
ResOlcfd That while we remember the dead, we
would not forget the sorrowiug family who mourn
the loss of son and brother, and we would offer
cur sincere sympatuics in their distressing bereave-
ment
Re'olred, That as a mark Of respec' we will at
taad the funeral this afternoon, aud wear our usual
badge Of morning in memory Of our late brother
member.
Rcsotred, That copy of these proceedings be
enclosed To tae family of the deceased, that they
be spread upon our ninntes and that the city pa
peTs be requested 10 publish the same

PACING RACE-The Lest pacing race of the sea-
son came off over the Nashville course on salur-
day evening, May 18th. The course was in fine
condition. and the character of the horses, George
IoH and John Il E3nOnds5n, drew together a
large number Of spectators. The race was match
for 800 a side, three best in five mile heats At
half past four the horses were called up for start
Both horses looked well, but Eamordson evidently
had tina advantage in condition. Pok being too
high, and seeming to be short Of work
lst Heat-Both horses came up square, and at
the tap OF the drum went of well together, but be-
fore passing the gate Poll suked and broke badly
BY the lime he had recovered himself Eanlondson
led him by hundred cards. He, however, was
got to his work soon as possible, and made a
gallant brush for the heat But was not able 10
evertake his competitor, who won the heat in
2:49
% Heat-Bolh horses came up FOR start, and
looked well, notwithstanding the friends Of Ed
7nondson supposed that the extraordinary brush
made by Polk for the lst heat had united him to
make any further contest.
OF they went at the tap Of the drum, POLl pass
ing Ealnondsoa and taking the track before reach
ing the first turn and maintaining his position du-
ring the hest hard pressed on every inch of the
ground by E3mondsoH, mt within fifty yards Of
the score, when he went up and was Tapped and
passed by EamOndson who won the heat by half a
neck in the extraordinary time for green horses Of
237.
81 heat Was much the same as the first. Both
horses cooled of well, and went of well together
At the tap Of the drum, but again at the gate Polk
sulked, and before be could be got going. Edmond.
son had made gap of 200 yards, which notwith-
standing gallant brush by Poll, in which he went
aaarter of mile in 35 seconds, he was not able
to recover, and consequently lost the heat Ed
nondSoa winning in $40
We have seldom witnessed more interesting
race, and never saw better time made by green
horses 1t is to be hoped that the friends of this
kind Of sport will again have the pleasure of see
ing these two horses go another race. We ven
ture to assert that two horses nearer matched can
no where be found.
