Smyrna VS.. Doper Housewife editor of
the Reporter expresses much surprise at the
paragraph which appeared in the Smyrna
| Times in regard TO the races, portion of which
| we copied in our paper of Monday. He pro-
| nounces the informants of the Times, guilty of
| great perversion of truth, and remarks that
| the challenge thrown out comes at a late day.
| If Mr.. Cummins' pair were not beaten on a
| strait road near Dover, why should he refuse
to trot except at "Point Breeze" where his
\ horses have been trained for the past six
months and know every inch Of the track. 1t
has not been week since the betting men of
Smyrna were down to Dover, and were backed
out in every proposition they made. One
1 gentlemen from Smyrna offered $50 for every
i $500 bet that could be gotten in Dover, and he
has since declared that so many Of the $500
bets were taken that II would take all his spare
Y money to pay the $50 bonuses. If the Smyrna
0 trotting men want trOt, let them either in
" person or over the signature Of some RESPONSE
\ hle person, submit their proposition. Il mere
newspaper statement, by some person writing
\ in the name Of the editor, that con the author
d ity of several respectable persons, We are au-
4 thorized, &c." is too vague. In conclusion,
4 we would state that there has been placed at
the disposal of the proprietor of this paper,
A 1.-THE ReporterO ST 900 to be staked against the
\ same amount, that S'Honest John" can outtrot
4 either or both of the horses "Quebec" or
"Montreal," at any time or place. The prelim-
Y inaries and conditions can be arranged at any
! time by application at the office Of the Re-
pc rter.
