this city there is certain to be large
amount of money bet, should these horses
come together, as each has strong body
ever, that 80 astute turf tactician as
Captain Moore will prefer entering and
running Bayonet in the three-year old
sweepstakes of two-mile heats, rather than
bring him out against such tremen-
dously good horse as James A. Connolly
at the longer distance, and may leave
Privateer or Fanny Cheatham to repre-
sent his stable in the three mile heat
race. On the Metairie Course at New
Orleans, several large stables are in active
training. Jobe Davis has the Athlone
stable (Mr. O'Fallon's), comprising Pat
Malloy, Plantagenet, Sundown, The Ban
shee and Alta Vela. AS Bayonet beat
Sundown at New Orleans last fall for the
Great State Post stake, the stable may
probably choose to run Pat Mslloy
against Captain Moore's Crack for the
rich three-year old stake; more especially
as they felt deeply disappointed at their
colts falling lame while running his trial
before the great State stake last Novem-
Der. Mr.. Conlisk's stable, which is now
trained by the veteran Ansel, comprises
Gilroy, Little Mack, Larkin and Victory.
Warwick has Joe johnson and Transit,
Colonel Nelligan has Bismarck and Chal-
mette, and Mr.. Pace two Lightning two
year olds and mare by Congaree. With
so many horses in training, and ready to
take part in the coming campaign, the
Metairie Spring Meeting is certain to be
a large and interesting one.

Ths Dangers Of Hox Hunting.

The uncertain character of the risks of
this sport is fully illustrated by the re-
cent report of fatal accident which
occurred in Yorkshire TO a party of fox
hunters, who, with their horses, were
crossing a swollen river in a ferry boat,
worked by a windlass and chain. Thir-
teen persons entered the boat, and after
proceeding few yards one of the horses
commenced kicking. This made the
other horses restive and the boat was cap
sized, throwing some of its occupants
into the water and holding others i'm
prisoned underneath it. OF this unfortu-
nate party, six hunters and eleven horses
we're drowned. This accident is said to
have been unparalleled in the annals of
fox hunting

a Baltimore Romancs-Equal to French
From the Baltimore Gazette


From the Baltimore Gazette.l
More than o dozen years ago noble
Baron, residing in the northern part of
Germany, smitten with the charms of the
daughter of well known doctor in the
town where he lived, wooed and won her,
and made her o Baroness. Years sped
happily along, the birth of two daughters
gave additional life to the little house
hold, and the Baron rejoiced in his little
garden, which he too confidently imag-
ined was free from the trail of the serpent.
Coming home one night very unexpect-
edly, he found young student in his
room, and, in an excess of wild Jealousy
and rage, he seized upon sword which
was hanging against the wall of the cham
ber and ran him through.
The Baron hel to the Crimes, where
he served throughout the Crimean war,
and after it was ended made his way,
after various vicissitudes of fortune, to
Baltimore, where, under an assumed
name, he commenced to give instruction
in languages. After be had resided
some time in this city, happening one
day to 90 into music shop for the pur-
pose of making trifing purchase, to
his great astonishment he met face to
face with his wife, who was standing
behind the counter. After the first sur
prise was over, they had each the pru-
dence to remain silent. A meeting was
arranged, when the ex-Baroness in
formed her former husband that feeling
that their intercourse was forever at an
end, she had accepted the proposal of
her present husband to marry him and
come to America, which she accordingly
did, without troubling herself about
divorce. She had brought with her her
two daughters, who bore the name of her
present husband, and imagined them
selves his children.
It was then agreed between the two
that their secret should be preserved, and
that the Baron, under his assumed name,
should be received as teacher of Ian
guages into the house, where he sh5uld
have the care of the education of his
children, which accordingly happened.
Years passed by. the girls grew up, and
old age laying its hand on their real
father, brought him finally to his death
ago for grave. While in the jaws of
death he sent for friend, and con6ded
to him a parcel of papers, giving in
structions, among other things, as to the
disposition of some properly which he
inherited abroad, and requesting him to
hand them over to his wife; and the one
little girl who was for long time known
as barefooted little saucy-box, who
trotled about the streets earning pennies
by her musical performances, and her
elder sister, who has not always bosn so
refined in her tastes, are suddenly be-
come what the Germans call HofJahig,
aud are capable, in some parts of Ger
many, Of being admitted into society
into which many leading merchants and
rich bankers are not permitted to enter.
