second, and Failing'si third. just before
coming down to the home stretch on the
first heat, the Phelps team took advantage
of an ugly break by Naughton's bays,
drew up, passed them and led the race al
most home, when by an exchange of mis-

team winning the heat, closely followed by
Phelps. Time 3:221s. sEaE So
Before starting on the second heat it was
announced that one of Mr.. Phelps mares
was quite lame from some unknown cause,
and consequently could not be expected to.

heat was an exciting one between the bays,
the brown mares drawing off shortly after
starting by reason of lameness. The Fall

ed to win, the Naughton bays coming in
and winning the heat and race in 3:21. - gs-.

I The BLACK AND TANNERS PARADE
After all the blowing and striking dime by
the Radical leaders during the past week,
we had thought they would give the pub
lie show worth all the money that was
spent. Luther Donaldson and the other
members of their Finance committee have
laid every Radical official, and store
keeper under contribution, and a
large fund was thus raised to be
expended in preparing wagons, trans
parencies, fireworks and the like. The re-
suit OF the expenditure will hardly make
them feel that the investment has been
paying one. @
There were in procession, perhaps, one
Thousand men and eight hundred to one
Thousand boys.
And the Grant Tanners.
And they all had torches.
And the cavalrya 129 strong.
And they all had horses, which were
at the lamps and strung along
the streets in manner that seemed like
anything but cavalry. -,s-. ----s-.rr
The display of fire works at the State
House was really beautiful. From the
windows of the dome of the Capitol, Ro-
man candles were fired, and many colored
lights gave brilliancy to the scene. Il
There were but few stores and private
houses illuminated. The Republicans,
hereabouts, somehow lack heart seemingly,
and show no enthusiasm in their displays.
Except for the shouts of the boys in the
procession, the march would have been
more like a dead march than a political
procession. .....-, ,. -. -.,i..'..,s 1' ....H q
One of the chief features in the process
sion was an illuminated monument, on
which were inscribed the names of
various Generals who had fallen in de-
tense of the Union. There carried in a
Republican procession, was the name of
d" Kearney." = We wonder the ghost of
&" Iron Phil" did not appear to revenge the
insult. Did not certain of our Radical Cit
izens squirm as the monument there in pro-
cession, brought to their recollection the
operations in regard to a certain other
monument? ,-i--'-
Taken altogether, the show was credita-
BILE to the RAIDS of this county, though not
what was expected. The wagons, with
the solitary exception above named, were
botched in the getting up, and gave no idea
as to what was meant. 1t pleased every
body-the RAIDS, because it was the best
display they ever made, and the Democra-
cy, because it will not require great eff
tort to distance it.
