Of all the above matches, the one which now at

the match and the popularity of their way of going

similar took place last fall between these Gel
ebrated horses, which resulted in favor of Ethan
Lantern having been withdrawn after the first heat,
owing to an injury he sustained by cutting himself
just as he reached the judges stand. The result of
that race was very unsatisfactory to all who wit
messed it, and hence the great desire to see the
coming one. 1t was the impression then that Lam
tern was badly harnessed for that race, that his
mate was entirely unsuitable, and that Mr.. Spicer
Unable to drive him; and if be is to be maten,
harnessed and driven in the same way again. the
result can be easily foretold. The next important
match, that between Lady Woodruff and Mountain
Boy, two mile heats, is also looked forward to with
much interest The race for the sweepstakes, be-
tween Prince, Mountain Boy and Native American,
over the Eclipse course, two mile heats, will also

LATER FROM HAYT.-We have received Hayti
files to March 10, the news chiefly relating to the
organization and maintenance of the Republican
government.
The financial affairs of the government require
immediate relief and the subject of deprecated pa
per money, with which the country is flooded, oc-
cupes the attention of political economists. The
Republique of March 10, says:
"We would then call the serious attention of the
government to our deplorable financial condition.
Among the most prosperous nations, we see that
France but a few years back, and especially after
the revolution of ls4S, was obliged to borrow, to
equilibrise its budget. Scarcely out of the cradle
of our independence, and by sad fatality, often af
ter series of political reverses, it is not to be
much wondered at, that we should have recourse to
paper money, deplorable expedient imposed upon
US since 1927. But the experience acquired by a
system erroneous to the country. should hasten
the time when we can dsembarrass ourselves of this
miserable paper money, which sooner or later must
| bring US to a condition of bankruptcy
The Carnival festivities were duly celebrated
with all the semibarbaric ceremonies of the occa-
sion But that which augmented the charm of this
Carnival, says the Ruvue de Commerce, was the idea
of carcaturing the court of Soulouque.
Nothing could have been more ridiculous than
that courtly procession, surrounding the mock EN-
peror, and marching through the streets, with its
train of dukes duchesses counts countesses barons
and other of the nobility of the defunct empire
| Other maskers represented Soulouque fleeing
from the kingdom bis fright and terror, his appeal
ing to his fetish idols for succor and other facts
