the interest takrn by the citizens of Ills

patriotic causes:
Hon san1! flolAes of QI;ncy, and
Albert. Pearce, of New York, with lieer-

great Mississippi Valley SanitaIy Eair, the
Silver Heels colt, "Prince of Wales, for
which the Prince of Wales, on his visit to
tha United States, otiored one hundred
pounds. and was refused. The colt is now
in prime condition, snd il valued at FIVE

We do not now know Of donation of

Pearce are certainly entittlsd 10 the knife,
as the most liberal donators to the grea.
Fair up to the prescnt writing and we
have no doubt that the Chairman Of the
Horse Committee (Captian Ford) will do
full justice to the subject, and that the
