A REMARKABLE TROTTING RACE.

A trotting race for 81, 900, 20 miles with
out stopping to rest or sponge, came off at
Jackson, Michigan, on the 9th ult. The
animals were Lady Susan" of Albion, and
Lady Palmer" of Jackson. Omitting the
details, we take the conclusion from the
Jackson Citizen of the 2Sth:
The entire distance, 20 miles, was trotted
in II minutes and 40 seconds, without an APP
parent damage to either of the horses. Of
course they were both distressed little upon
the completion of their arduous work, but
it is thought that neither Of them will sus-
tain any permanent injury.
