SIXTH DAY.

The race to-day was between Rousseau
and Aldebaran, the second contest between
them during the meeting. The first was
four miles for the Post stake, and now three
miles fer the Club purse of $3.50. Rous-
seau was the winner of the first. but only,
1t was thought, through a mistake of Aide
baran's rider. Hence many believed that
he could beat his adversary, and staked
their money accordingly. In the pool,
there was scarcely any choice, and up to
the time of starting for the first heat, there
was no odds either way.
In the first heat Aldebaran took it by
half a length. The second was dead heat
and so pronounced by the judges. The
third heat was taken by Rousseau. The
fourth was not run, as Aldebaran was too
lame to start. This, observes the Register,
gave the race to Rousseau, who won it in
the greatest effort he has ever made on the
turf A large sum of money changed
hands on this great race, and we verify be-
lieve that it was one OF the most exciting
contests ever Witnessed on the Southern
turf

AN IDEAL 0RRERY.

Conceive the sun represented by o globe
two feet in diameter ut eighty-two leet dis
tance, put down grain Of mustard seed I,
and You have the size and place OF the planet
Mercury, that bright silvery point which Is
generally enveloped in solar rays. At tho
distance of one hundred and forty two feet
lay down pea it will be the simiitude OF
Venus, our dazzling evening nnd morning
star. Two hundred and fifteen feet FROM the
central globe, place another pea only imper-
ceptably larger; that is mans WORLD, the
theatre of our terrestrial destinics, the birth
place of most OF our thoughts Mars IL
smaller still, good pins head being his
proper representative, ut the distance OF
three hundred and twenty seven feet. The
four small planets, Vesta, Juno, Ceres and
Pallas, seen as the least possible grains OF
sand about FIVE hundred feet from the sun
Jupiter. ne a middle sized orange at the re-
motencss of q quarter Of q mile; Saturn
with his rings, distant about two'ffths oil q
mile; and the far Uranus dwindles into a
cherry, moving in circle three-quariers OF
a mile in radius. Such is tho system of
which our puny earth was oncc accounted
tho chief constituent; a system whose real
or absolute dimensions ara stupendous, ~
may be gathered from the size OF the sun
himself, the glorious globe around which
these orbs obediently circle, which has u
diameter nearly four times larger than the
immense interval which separates the moon
frum tho earth. Compare this mighty di.
ameter. or the space Of nine hundred thou.
sand miles, within the assumed diameter OF
two feet, and tho proportion will tell by how
many times the orbit Of Uranus should be
enlarged The dimensions OF tho system
surpass all efforts to conceive or embody
them, and yet wider knowledge Of the
universe shows that they belong only to our
FIRST or smallest order OF infnites.
