FORTUNATE DrscoyERY-On Friday

night last, between 10 aud IL o'clock, fire was
discovered in Metropolitan Hall, and the doors be-
ing forced, pile of rope and old curtains and a
counter, in the passage leading to the gallery
found to be burning rapidly. These were instant
ly thrown into the street, aud serious conflagra-
tion thus prevented. The panorama of the Bible,
then in the building, and which had been exhib-
tied to deerly interested audience, narrowly es-
capped burning; and there is very little doubt that
ii the fire had been communicated at later hour
Of the night, not only the painting but the build
ing would have been destroyed. The fire origina
ted in the pile of rope, but whether it was acci
dental or designed, We are unable to say.

RACE BETWEEN A HORSE AND LOCOMOTIVE A
novel race took place at st. Thomas Tues
day last between blooded race horse and a
locomotive. The horse is decided to bo very fast
nag, and so is the locomotive, and both were well
trained to the track. The arrangements between
the betting parties were that the horse should be
at his starting place when the locomotive came up
even, and the word ''go' should be given, when
away they went under whip and steam. The
judges declared the horse the winner by one hall
length. The bet was $50 q side, and the distance
eighty rods. This decides the question that the
horse is faster than steam.

tain the necessary aid to enable them TO offer a
liberal list OF premiums and farmers stock raisers
and manufacturers would greatly prefer visiting
Richmond to going elsewhere. Even a horse

parts of the country, and as the grounds are all
ready for the exhibition, the cost would be trilug
compared to the advantages the city would re-
ceive. At this time there more blooded horses
in the immediate vicinity of Richmond than we
have ever known, while the number of "quick and
and heavy draft" greatly exceeds that of former
years. All that is necessary to ensure grand dis
play is fer the proper efforts to be made, that
those interested may know how to make their ar

LOCAL MATTERS.

NATIONAL CLuB.-We are araii6ed to
learn that at the approaching spring races near
this city, effort will be made TO put on foot a
plan for the establishment Of q stNational Club"
whose duty IL will be TO recommend to the various
Clubs of the country uniform weights and dis.
tsnces. Representatives expected to be present
from Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee Georgia.
South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mary
land, New Jersey, New York, and, perhaps, other
States, who are interested in the contem-
plated changes, and We know that the Virginia
delegation will gladly cooperate with them in eff
fectiDg such changes will advance the interests
Of the turf throughout the Union. When the Con-
vention meets, it will be well for them to consider
the propriety of reducing the present long dis
tance now in vogue in four mile heat races. If
long heats are Intended to test the game we'll
as the speed OF horses, what good reason is there
for allowing one horse out of three to several
seconds when not sonteDdng for a heat, while the
Two contestants are required to run every foot of
the ground often under whip and spuri The sub
Ject OF handicapping is another important one and
IN this connection the distance each horse has to
travel to get to the course and the mode of travel
ought to have their weight Two horses of equal
speed and endurance-one the ground, with
no dangers to encounter, while the other has q
Thousand miles railroad or steamboat travel to
make to get to the track-ought not to be weighed
alike, but the traveller should have such allow
ances made him as would warrant him in risking
the dangers of the trip. If this were done, racers
would be more apt TO visit distant Staes with their
stables, and the spirit of racing would thus be in
fused into many who not now engaged in
it, When National Club is formed. National
Course may then be established, and as Virginia
is the mother of great races we'll great States
men, we have very little doubt that the new
Course will be located ON her soil.
