LOCAL MATTERS.
TRoTTryG MATo H.-The race q the
Union Course yesterday was by far the most inter-
ssag trot that has taken place In this section
II the country, ard afforded inanits delight 10 4
large number OF spectators who had assembled 70
witness IL.
The two horses matched were believed 10 b
about the same, and many supposed that the con-
test would be close one. bat the best fudssu Of
horse flesh made Wagner's entry the fayorits In
their wagers, because of the fact that Mr., W. II
considered one ofthe best 'whips' In the country
while the gentleman who held the ribbons over
''lndepend.Dce' was looked upon - . mere syro In
the art Of fast travelling.
At half past four the houses were called to the
score, Independence being on the inside, and Ggo's
being given, moved of together FOR the nfst half
mile Independence moved steadily, until coming
up the stretch, when he went up. and his competi-
tor took the track, wisnng the heat with ease In
3:02.
The second heat was mere repetition Of the frst,
save that the speed was increased, the Wagner
horse winning by head In 2:591<
In the third heat wagner's entry broke badly
after getting the word, and Independence getting
the track held It home under square trot, win
This change in the fortune showed that the wag.
ner entry was leg weary for want Of work and
though handled in the most scientific manner.

REMARKsBLE.-The three last money
panics that have occurred In this country, have
oeen at regular periods of twenty years. In 1917
the panic was 30 great that real estate deprecated
III ths city more than ifty per cent, and business
OF al sorts was completely paralyzed. In 1887,
hundreds of persons were involved in his
ruin. by the tightness Of the times and thousands
of others only escaped from being saddled with life
long burthens by the agency of the bankrupt law.
In 1897, what Is to be the resultf Extravagant %
our people have been for years. and much as many
OF them may have oyertraded, we believe thai
all classes are better prepared for the crisis than
on either OF the former occasions, and that BY per-
severance attention to business sad rigid econo-
my, they VIII work out In short time, and profit
ing by the experience of the past be prepared 20
