Rr Langton's Express were first with
States papers. That swift-footed Ed Hall
was just forty-three seconds in advance.
Vhen came Palmer, Of Wells, Fargo e. Co.,
and Brooks of the Paci6c--hcavy nags, but
good wind and bottom. Down they came
neck and neck-Brooks touched the steps of
the sanctum first, but became jammed in the
door, and Palmer passed him, stumbled over
a chair, and whilst picking himself up,
Brooks came ia to the winning post. They
both carried States papers, and Palmer had
the Union. During the melee in came
Oberdeener with bis literary treasures.
We're in luck.
