FLORA TEMPLE AND ETHAN ALLEN.
NEM York Jnne

In the trotting match yesterday, between
Flora Temple and Ethan Allen, Flora won all
three heats
Firshent 225' secondheat 227l2 Thrdheat 227 l-2.
The time of the first heat is the best trot-
ting to wagons on record.
The Times has the following account:
by o'clock, everything being in readi-
ness, the horses were called for the start by
the ringing of the bell. After two or three
Intellectual trials they came up to the score
handsomely, and the word go was given,
Flora Temple having the inside of the track.
Ethan Allen buckled down to his work beau
tifully. At the first quarter, Flora made
slight break. Her driver soon brings her
down again, but at the half mile she is a
length and a half behind, the stallion making
the distance in one minute and eleven seconds.
Flora gradually gains on the home stretch
amid deafning cheers closes the gap, and comes
to the Judges stand length and a half
ahead of Ethan Allen. Time is announced
amid great applause. The mare has accom-
plished the mile in 2,25.
Fifteen minutes was given for rubbing
down the horses and preparing them for the
heat The admirers of Ethan Allen were
rather chop-falen. One of the most ardent
of them offered $50 on Ethan to Sl00 on
Flora. 1t was so eagerly taken up as to show
strong confidence in the mares abilities to
carry off the prize. The owner of the stall
lion, il was said, went to the Judges stand
and charged the driver of Flora with having
run her during portion Of the heat just con-
cluded Apparently no notice was taken of
the charge. and the horses we've called for the
second heat
In this heat the horses do not get so good
start as before. Flora has the advantage
of half a length when they leave the Judges
stand. Ethan Allen breaks badly on the
first quarter, and at the half-mile post is two
lengths behind the mare The latter main
tains her advantage to the end of the heat,
which she completes in 227 l-2
During the intermission which follows, the
enthusiasm of Flora Temples friends knows
no bounds. They cheer until their throats
will stand it no longer, and subside into si-
lence only through necessity. The largest
odds are offered on Flora but find no takers
On the third heat Flora Temple has the
advantage at the start by half length
Ethan Allen, in his efforts to close the gap,
breaks more than ever, and falls behind sadly.
He makes another noble effort at the half
mile, which bids fair to be successful, but
soon after breaks so seriously as to bring Hi
ram Woodruff to his feet, aud the issue is
decided. Flora comes in again length and
a half ahead, in 2.27 10.

Abuer asks question.

village of Crestline. We had intended to
give the names of the parties to this transac-

The husband brooded in silence over the sup

He never intimated his suspicious to her, or
any one else, until the thought of despatching

EARLY RISING.

There is capital anecdote of the reign of
Louis XVI Of France. according to which
some ladies got it into their heads from some
book they had been reading, that it must be
glorious thing to see the sun rise. But as
that took place in the only hours in which
they were uniformly in bed, what was to be
done? After much consideration. it being of
course impossible for them to think of rising
so early, they resolved to have party and
sit up all night and ride out just before day
to the top of a neighboring hill and witness
the strange phenomenon. This was duly per-
formed, the friends then all went to bed, as
tonished at the degree to which they had ru-
rallied themselves. Daniel Webster. II seems,
during many years of his residence in Wash
ington, used to get up an hour before sunrise
in winter, light all the fires with his own
