TROTTING At PHILADELPHIA.
MATCH BETWEEN FLORA TEMPLE AND
GEO. NJ. PATCHEN.


The match between these celebrated rotters at Su-
folk Park Course Philadelphia, postponed from the Sd
inst on account of the rain took place the afternoon
Of the Fourth of July in the presence of very large
assemblage of spectators, the result being triumph
for the little bay mare in three straight heats. The
track was in excellent condition until the las. beat,
when heavy storm of rain made it very heavy the
time of the heat shows. The betting 100 to 30 on
the horse amobg the unnitaed, and plenty OF takers
at that, great amount of money changing hapds on
the OCCASION In the first heat Flora had the POLE and
TOOK the lead after passing the stand and maintaining
it, passed the quarter pole half length ahead, in 3
seconds increased her lead and at the halfme pole
was at least two lengths ahead the time being l:9I
Just then Patchen broke up and Flora increased the
distance between them considerably, and on coming up
the home stretch che led Patebenby three lengths
The horse then increased his pace somewhat and
closed on her. but did not quite reach her before she
also increased her speed and putting on the steam,
came to the stand fully six lengths ahead Of her opPo
nent, amid thunders of applause. Time 2:22s.o
Second Heat-In the second heat the betting fell
of in fact there were little if any of the offers made
accepted. Five times they started without getting Oft;
but on the sixth trial they went at the word Flora
rounded the first turn half length in advance Of the
horse ard reached the quarter pole in 35l seconds.
TIE marc on the far side broke, but down to
her work again, the break interfering much with
her; at this period really splendid contest ensued,
Pa.cben working bis way close upon her. but tho
never permitted him to take the lead even for an
instant On enteri the home stretch Patchen closed

these two splendid trotters shown but the mare
bravely held her own and again came to stand win

closing well in the last quarter the time Of the half

Third Hc0t.-In this heat also the betting was mere
ly nominal, every one lighting shy in this respect.
heavy storm then came on, the rain coming down in
torrents, making the track exceedingly heavy. On
starting Patchen had little the best of It; but the
mare passed him on the first turn; when Flora went
up the upper side, however, Patchen went ahead,
taking the inside at this time the storm eliminated,
the rain falling in torrents On the far side the horse
increased the distance between them, taking lead Of
three lengths but Flora shortly afterward with ono
of her splendid efforts at once closed on him. and ON
tering the home stretch they were side by side,
wheel and wheel, and from this point the mare with
one of her fastest brushes drew away from her cou-

One portion Of the late message of Governor

the present system of carrying mail matter The
existing mail arrangements are abomnable. The
government is not identified nor the Southern pub

the expense of transporting the mails would not

The Democrats of Hartford, without reference to

sides, and begin anew" A committee was appointed
TO report ticket for Town officers. and the meeting
which was a very large one, adjourned with hearty
cheers for Democratic success st the coming Town
election. That is right. There is no reason why
Democrats should not everywhere follow this ex-
ample of their brethren in Hartford The cause and
the result Of their late disagreements, have gone by
and with 1t ought to perish all the remembrance Of
the quarrel except enough to warn them of such
dangers in future. We have taken all the blows
kindly that have laid over our head and shoulders
and have no grudges TO pay off those who have
differed with us. the late contest All the wish
we have in the future Of political warfare is to
the Democratic party united and sccCessful-and TO
that end we shall toll regardless Of personal con-
