Long Old Field Races.

The Marlboro Planters Advocate SAYS of
these races, which took place on Saturday:
Mr.. Suits " John Graham and Mr.. Strone's
sorrel horse did not run for the $500 purse
their race having been drawn.
The hrst race that was run was one gotten
up IN a moment between Messrs Hall. Gitt-
1 ings, and Clarke-single dash of a mile. On
, starting, Mr. Halls mare took the lead. close-
ly followed by Messrs Cuttings and Clarke.
1t the first turn, Mr.. Cuttings mare bolted and
ran out into the public road-her rider, how
ever, soon reversed bearings, and started after
the other two, overtaking them at the turn of
the home stretch, but she had been forced so
much In the first three q usrters of the mile
| that she was unable to foot il out to the end
with Mr.. Halls mare, who was the frst to
cross the mark, and Of course won the race
Ihe next race was between Mr.. Gardiner's
roam mare and Mr.. Crsufurd's black mare,
for $500, which was won by the roam without
a struggle.
The next race, which Was between Mr..
Strongs sOIrel horse and Messrs Hall &
Bowie's horse, excited great deal of interest
The friends of the sorrel were apparently 90
sanguine and bet 60 brash, that the friends Of
Basil were afraid to "pils up on him.
After good deal Of trouble, .he horses got
off BASIL in the lead, which he held 10 the
end of the race, in the most gallant manner,
to the great delight of his friends and conster.
nation Of those who had "gone it blind" on
the sorrel horse.
The next race in order was between Mr.
Geo Craufurd's black mare and a sorrel
mare from Bladensburg, I've could not learn
the name of her owner,) which was won By the
"old black" in handsome style
The great feature Of the day, however, was
the race between " John Graham and q pa
sil"-single dash of a mile-for S3Os n ,;ds
On starting Graham" opened a pretty con.
siderable gap on BAD, which he % aim ainsd
for twO.thirds of a mile, but on turning into
the home stretch, "Basil' caught up and
passed Graham, and they were going down
! the quarter stretch at a killing pace, when
BASIL bolted and threw his rider, and
Graham" galloped out and took the purse.
IL Is the opinion OF some good judges that
= Bai." would have won the race If he had
not bolted; but as he did not win, of course il
is an "open question:" TO be settled some
other time, perhaps on the Herring Run Course
this fall We understand the race was run in
excellent tune, considering the track-some
say as Low down as 81.
There were several other races, but We were
unable to learn the particulars.

amer speaking in high terms Of admiration Of
Col. Fremont's exploring services, says
During his brief term Of service in the
United States Senate, he made most favora-
bic impression on that body by his modest de-
meanor and his siaiesnanike views. and in
his various publications ON topics Of public con-
cern, there are abundant proofs of enlarged
and liberal opinion. In reference TO the slave
ry question, his position is identical with that
which is rapidly becoming the universal senti-
ment at the North, viz no interference with
the institution where it exists under the sane
ton Of the Federal Constitution, but hostility
10 its extension over soil which is now free.
|, will thus be seen that the Republican Com
vention has presented for the suiItages Of the
country candidate largely endowed with the
qualities requisite to proper discharge of the
duties belonging 10 the Presidential office"
The National LhMgmcer, which is apt to
be ehary of its commentators, says OF Col
onel Fremont
The fact is, though full young to be brought
forward for the Presidency, he is a man Of high
qualities modest, wise for his years, selfre-
liant, brave, collected and calm amid dangers"
