This match was the best, and the
time indicates, ever trotted on this course:
and it Is thought that half-mile courses
are few that can show better time with
horses of only local celebrity. The
match was very close between Jimmy
and Kit Cosey,' going side by side in
every heat a great part of the way, and
in the two last heats neither making
break or skip. Mr.. Page drove his
mare with his usual skill and GOODNESS.
Jimmy was admirably tooled' by Mr.. A.
Hawley.

THE MULES.
10 be appreciated, mule race must
be seen. Imagine, if you please. four
of the long-eared gentry drawn IN in
front of the Judges stand, hestrided BY
four boys in fancy costume. At word
go the timber was simultaneously an
piled, and the mules started-some on a
deliberate walk and others at snaiPs
gallop: One undertook to go across lots
and had to be coaxed back; another turn,
ed into fence corner to rest, and some
time elapsed before the party could get
around the course. Altogether the scene
was srotesquely ridiculous, and the look
ers-on enjoyed the fun hugely.
We understand that Mr.. VIM. Skinner
Esq, of Royalton, VT, the proprietor of
these mules, is engaged in breeding
them, and that attention is now turned.
in many parts of the country, to the
substitution of mules for horses for many
kinds of labor.

Stanstead and Orleans Trotting
Club Races.

The July meeting of the Club on the
9TH, was decided success. 1t brought
together some 2500 people, who enjoyed
the sports of the day in the most quiet and
orderly manner, and the remark frequent
ly made during the day by gentlemen
from distance, that they had never be-
fore seen so many people together so
uniformly quiet and courteous, is high
compliment to the people there assembled.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of
the day, and drunkenness and rowdyism
were unknown. The ladies of our own
and neighboring towns graced the grounds
with their presence in large numbers, and
undoubtedly contributed in no small de-
gree in maintaining more perfect de-
corum among the rougher sex than some
times prevails in large assemblages.
Some wise man Tin his own concei)
has oracularly said, that "horse shows and
horse races may improve the breed of
horses, but they injure the breed of men,"
a physiological question which we leave
for those who have a taste for the discus
sion. Bnt from some little experience
in observing large crowds, we have no
hesitation in saying that so large and
promiscuous a gathering could not have
been collected together on any public oc-
casion, with less disorder.

The greatest dlf1iculty In the cul-
ture Of melons, sqnashes and cncum-
bers, is to prevent the destruction OF
the young plants by the striped bug :
About ten years ago, l became con-
vinced that the most effectual way Of
doing this. was covering the hills
with frames OF boxes with mikhet
covers. But after q seasons use,
without special care, the milinet would
become rotten or torn so as to need

Of late i have discarded tho use OF

simply open frames, about 10, or IL
inches square, and six inches deep.
In fact these are found superior TO
the covered frames, as the latter
have moro tendency to draw up the
young plants and make their stems
