GREAT TRoTTIEe ON THE FASHION CoURsE-BRUNo
AND BRUNETTE BEAT THE BEST TINE ON RECORD
IN DOUBLE HARNESS.
The Fashion Course was yesterday the theatre
of one of the finest performances that ever took
place on a trotting track, It being successful
attempt to beat the time made by Mr.. Bonner's
celebrated team, Lady Palmer and the Flatbush
Mare, by Mr.. Harker's Bruno and Brunette.
On the 10th of May, 1862, Mr.. Bonner's team,
ing, trotted one mile over the Union Course
TO road wagon IN 226, and on the 18th
of the same month, two miles In 5OlH
--one of the quarters in the second trial
being trotted In thirty-three seconds. Since
Then no team In the country was deemed able
one ventured to dispute their SUPP emacy until
recently, when MIR. .HaTker, entertaining the
solved TO test their ability by giving them
public trial against time. Yesterday afternoon
was the time selected for that purpose, and the
trial took place Immediately after the match
between Toronto Chief and Rapid was de-
cided. Mr. Harker's horses are bays, brother
and sister, the horse six years old and the
in appearance, and wen bred in reality; and
TO sustain the now prevalent and still growing
opinion that the nearer the trotting-horse
approaches the thorough red the more valuable
he becomes. When Bruno and Bru 1ette made
their appearance on the track they caused a
great deal of speculation among those present.
Visitors were by no means so numerous as they
would have been had 1t been generally known
that the trial was TO have taken place; but as IL

particularly as the previous general impress
sion was that the attempt would prove
abortive. They were exercised on the track
for some time before the final trial, and trotted
was desirable In horses that had so great
an undertaking as to beat 226 before them.
The wind also was against them, the opinion of
the most competent judges on these matters
being that IL was fully as much as two seconds
10 their disadvantage. However, when all was
in readiness and they had struck a telling and
steady pace, they came up to the stand for the
word and trotted around the entire mile with
1854 as ascertained from several persons who
timed them and also from Messrs. Harker, Car
penter, and Mclaughlin, who were in the stand.
The first quarter was troted IL 3612 seconds,

: IOpement of a Methods Minister.

TROY, June 1.-THE quiet village of North
Adams, Mass, was thrown into the widest ex-
element on Sunday last, by the discovery that
Methodist church at that place, had eloped with
a beautiful and interesting young lady named
Houghton, leaving wife and nine children. 1t
seems that both parties had been absent from
the village since Wednesday last, but as the
young lady had told her parents that she was
going to visit a friend in the neighborhood,
and Mr.. Merrill had lately been appointed
TO another charge, rendering his absence from
home necessary a considerable portion of the
time, no suspicious were aroused until Sun
day, when the failure of either party to appear,
taken In connection with the remembrance
that there had been some former scandal In rela-
tion to them, suggested that there must be
something wrong. Accordingly, on Monday
morning, the friends of the young lady came TO
this city, and found that on Wednesday night
last Mr.. Merrill had put up at the Troy House.
registering his name as 8. A. Merritt, of New
York, and that on Thursday night he had
stopped at the American. From this 1t appears
that the young lady did not reach Troy until
Friday, tarrying here only for a short time, and
leaving for the West on the same day. During
Thursday Mr.. Merrill made one or two attempts
TO borrow money, and was refused, $50 being
the sum that he desired. Whether he finally
succeeded in ''raising the wind" we did not
learn, but report received from U tica yesterday
again trying to borrow money. He procured a
ticket on the Central Railroad from q conduc-
tor on the Troy and Boston road with whom
he was acquainted, telling him that he did not
know whether he would go to Utica or farther
west, and would pay for 1t when he returned.
The brother and brother-in-law of Miss Hough-
ton were in the city this morning, and intend
to give the reverend villain pursuit and a warm
greeting when they overtake him. The young
lady is but l6 years of age, and, in addition TO
being one of the most beautiful and accom-
respectfully connected. Mr.. Merrill Is well
known throughout the Troy Conference as n
preacher of remarkable eloquence and power,
and has occupied some OF the most important
stations within its limits.
