Great Race Between Flora Temple ana
Reindeer.

From the St. Louis Republican, of the LIST inst, we
extract the following;
Seldom has it been the province of any to chronicle
in sporting circles SO happy at least so Satisfactory
result as this latterday trot the Dreudices arising
either from preference or supp0sition connected with
the last trot being totally forcgone from the evidence
Of that OF yesterday.
The track was not in as good order as upon the dav
OF the previous race, the attendance not as large vet
according to our idea, much more afpreciative But
to the race
HEAT FIRsT.-Both horses appeared in fine condi
ton Flora with all that nicely of limb aud evidence
OF care peculiar to herself her opponent showed equal
care.
After three attempts Reindeer having the pole
they got of pretty much together, Reindeer leading
halt length, and going at 23O gait at quarter pole
were well together between the quarter and half
mile pole Reindeer broke and passed by the mare
going at n steady gait, which she reached in LIS
when REINDEER caught and showed speed which in
duced his friends to back him still; they passed the
score IN 2:3l, the mare leading about length Ia
this they continued when Reindeer ATTEMPTED
70 pass the mare but broke when upon her shoulder
the mare then broke but caught sooner than the
morse yet the excitement was intense, as along the
back stretch they continued without any perCeptble
difference, until reaching the score when Flora won
the heat by length in 5:lt5.
SECOND HEAr-Atter two false starts they got off
well together at quarter pole about length differ
enCe, mare ahead at half mile pole mare ipadinr II
Els, about length which she kent until reaching
nifty yards OF score, when the horse Tapped her and
ON reaching the score they were neck ana neck in
2:4l. Here the excitement became intense. Around
the first quarter they continued in the same pOsti0n
Il was noticed that Flora skipped little but upon
her entrance upon the second quarter showed her
steady when Reindeer broke up and upon recovering
was found some two lengths behind the mare Along
Che Dack stretch Reindeer gained upon her about
length but gradually fell off and upon reaching the
lengths in 5:I78.

MIR. DOUGLAS. CHATrELs.--Ihe Story about Sen.
dtor D0ugtdS SiaUe$--Just previous to the recent
election in Illinois the Chicago Press, Republican
paper published statement charging that the slaves
q senator douglas, held IN Louisiana are oyerwork
ed, iilted badly clothed and otherwise intellectually
treated, and gave Mr.. Sdel of this State as author
ity for the statement.
The whole story was an election canard Mr. sli.
dell made no such statement. OF that we are fully
advised and the facts alleged are as apocrynbaI ne
the authority The slaves in which Mr.. Douglas is
interested are in charge of Jas. A. Mediation one of
the most enterprising citizens of the State Dopnlar
and humane gentleman and planter.
New Orleans Picayune.
Upon the foregoing the Chicago Daily Press and
Tribune, Of the Sd inst, remarks
We have only to say that the story came to ms
from personal friend of Mr.. SIidell-a gentleman of
character and influence in this cty--and that he as
sufed us that he had the statement from Slide him.
self, during his visit to Chicago while the late can
yass was going on. His name is at the service of any
one authorized to demand it.
As we are neither political nor an "authorizedn
friend Of Mr.. Slidel Of course we cannot make auv
demand in the premises. But, it seems to US that
some OF our distinguished Senator's friends should
take the necessary steps to- set him right before the
country, The authoritative statement OF the Chicago
Press and Tribune, should be met, explained and
retued lift be possible to meet it, explain it and re-
flute it.
we VIII say IN conclusion that the idea of the gen
tleman named treating his own, or anybody else's
slaves with even neglect to say nothing of inbpman
ty Is in the highest degree preposerons and absurd
In this State where the gentleman is well known
such statement or nsnuation would be merely
laughed at-not dgnifed with formal notice Of anv
kind or description from ANYBODY.
