FLORA TEMPLE FOR ONCE BEHIND TIME.
The pet of the Turf, the beautiful and accomplished
Flora Temple, disappointed her friends, without in
any degree inperiling her reputation, in her per-
formance yesterday against the extraordinary time
of Dutchman, at the Centreville Course, Long Is.
land In the summer of 1885, on the Beacon Course,
New Jersey, Dutcbman trotted three mile heat
under saddle in minutes thirty two and half
seconds wager of $500 was laid by the owner of
Flora Temple, with a prominent sporting man OF
this city, that the little could beat that time
in harness. By the terms of the agreement made
between the parties, there might be many trials
deemed proper to decide the bet within
month, three days notice of each trial being re-
quired
The betting extravagantly favored the mare. The
heaviest wager of which could hear one
| thousand to six hundred dollars but the ma
| iority of smaller bets were two to one, with few
| takers.
The busy little animal started about three
| o'clock She was in the best condition, and went
off as if for work, but broke badly within the first
two hundred yards, and went through the first two
miles withouther usual spirit On the third she
was urged into some splendid action, but unfortu-
| nately broke twice-once, it supposed, ac-
count of the horse that with her. The time,
| however,was 73334-but second and half short
| of Dutchman's. The course is about eighteen feet
over the mile, fact which was urged by the owner
| of Flora in her favor, but which, it is evident,
should have been understood before the start.
After a rest, the mare put second trial,
and did a mile in PAP, without break, but with
drew alter this heat Tor ireSh start. Sne was ap-
| parentlv not ayerse to a third trial, and made
| splendid start, which once more raised expectation
high. She kept her gait steadily and well through
the three miles, not breaking once, but in
much jaded and heated in 7.43H. She was then
| withdrawn from the field
Some difference ofopinion existed as to the merits
of the case, and one of the judges cOntended,
| against the majority of his fellows that, by reason
of the unnecessary distance trotted, the wager was
won by Flora. Her owner was of the same opinion,
but the decision was irreversible and settled the
question for the day. If another is chosen for the
trial. by the strict letter of the agreement, it must
be next Sunday.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF YoUNG GrRL.-We learn
from the Cincinnati Commercial, that on Sunday
evening Miss Ann Frazer, young girl residing on
the North side OF Court street, near Walnut in
Cincinnati, attempted to take her life under the fol-
lowing circumstances: She sitting in the parlor
with her beau and several other young folks, when
the ungallant gentleman reprimanded her for some
real or supposed offence. She presently excused
herself, went out, soon returned, sat down and
dropped on the floor in a stupor. Her friends soon
found that she had taken two ounces of laudanum.
| A physician sent for, and remained four hours
applying the usual remedies before there was any
reasonable hope of her recovery. Yesterday there
was every prospect OF her life being saved.
THE CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL is now doing a
prosperous business. The current month will foot
up one of the heaviest in the history of the canal.
At the Georgetown collection office the receipts for
the month up to this exceed S2l 900, which will
probably be increased before tomorrow night to
$4,000. This, with the receipts at the up-counry
offices, will amount to about $4,000. Navigation
is good throughout, and boats arrive at George
town, are discharged, and return up stream the
same day. This is great saving of time and ex-
pense as compared with what has hitherto prevail
