LOCAL MATTERS.


DOCUMENT has been circulating to day,
and received the signatures of number Of
prominent Union Democrats, announcing their
intention of acting with the Republican, or
Union Administration, party of the county this
year. We are sorry to differ with men who
have acted with us so long, in regard to mat
ters of party policy; but for one, we are deter
mined to stick by the Union Democratic party
as long as it maintains its organization, and
remains true to its principles.
Since the above was in type the document
has been brought in for publication. 1t WILDE
found in another column.
THE RACEs.-There was large crowd at
the Glenbrook Race Course on Saturday af-
ternoon-estimated by some at fifteen hundred
persons. The foot race between Rouse and
Bartlett, for $500 sde-distance 800 yards,
was won by the former, who came out six or
eight yards ahead. In the race run between
the same parties some weeks ago, Bartlett beat
his antagonist with ease; but in the last trial
he threw off one of his shoes, and those who
lost money on him think he threw off the race.
The trotting notch between Lancastel's brown
mare, "Nevada Bell" and Fishers grey horse,
"Tom Benton" in harness, mile heats, best
two in three, was won by the mare; time, first
heat, 1886; second heat, 1882.
