SroRrtNG.-Agreatc colt race between
Park, near New York, last Thursday
IL was for 5000 and was between "Lo-
THAR" Gilbreth Knox colt from
| Maine, and "Startlc,' d Hambletonian
who pulled u pounds over weight
The race j. thus described
StaItie won the pole. The colts
scored five times before they reached
the stand on even terms and both trot-
ting steadily, when they were dispatch
ell with their heads parallel. liz an
instant Startle dashed TO the front, ANA
a he rounded the turn, one hundred
yards from the stand, he was three
lengths ahead Of Lothair He was soon
five lengths in front, and then Lothian
broke up. Startle kept steady, and
when he reached the quarter pole, in
thirty-seven and a halt seconds he was
eight yards ahead of the other. Lothian
broke up again after passing the quar-
ter pole and fell further of. Startie
was one hundred yards ahead at the
half-mile pole, i'll LIZ. he seemed to
be trotting very easily no effort being
made to hurry him, and when he passed
the three-quarter pole, in 30 II he
appeared more like exercising work
than ut racing. Lothair had broken up
third time, and was 100 yards behind.
Coming up the short homestretch
Startle was not urged AT all. as Mr..
Burr knew that the black colt was more
than two distances out; but as he passed
the drawgate, where Mr. Alley was
standing, that gentleman called TO Burr
TO let the colt go faster. Burr then gave
him touch or two with the whip, and
he sharpened his gait to thirty clip,
and so came 10 the stand, about one
hundred and eighty yards in front. thus
winning the race in one heat in 2.36.
Alter the race was over, Mr.. Robert
Bonner asked Mr.. Alley what he would
take for the colt. Being replied to in
whisper, Mr.. Bonner exclaimed,
1.-THE colt is mine" What Mr.. Bonner
paid for Startle did not transpire, but
all that pretended to know the value
OF the colt, said that he was worth at
least twenty-five thousand dollars.

ELLSWORTH Sept. 9Th, 1870.

DEAR Sm:-
Noticing in your paper few weeks
since, An article on the subject of Fish,
wish TO take exception to the theory
that nsh are more wholesome or nutri-
oous, when killed by ticking an awl in
their heads, than when killed by loss o.
breath as they usually are.
Having been engaged in the various
branches of the fishing business for
eighteen years the greater part Of which
time has been spent on board of vessels
and among people who eat fish. have
vet to learn the difference mentioned
and have not yet seen the man whose
taste Is SO acute that he can discern
which fish died by violence and which
by loss Of breath.
The fact is the quality of fresh or
corned fish does not depend at all upon
the method by which it is killed, but
upon the time which elapses between
its death and use. Every fisherman
knows that fish cooked within an
hour, is nicer than one cooked twelve
Or twenty four hours after il is caught.
No article Of food we use depreciates
SO rapidly, or decays so quickly as fish,
and no fresh fish is III to eat, twenty
four hours after tits caught, unless kept
la "a temperature sufficiently raised 10
arrest the process of decay and keep tho
juices Of the fish intact
l challenge the writer, or any other
man to cite an instance of fever or any
disease induced by the use OF fish eaten
within the time above mentioned. That
people have been made sick By eating
fish do not dispute, since putrid fish
are not considered healthy by our best
ply siciaus, and their use naturally
creates disease, but no person in good
health was ever made sick BY the free
use Of fish well cooked, within the prop
er time.
People complain that they cannot get
| any good fish aud ask me. often, the
! reason why. One reason i the facili-
ties for getting good fish here are such
that il is next to impossible to procure
them the distance which they have to
be brought is so great and the mode OF
conveyance so dependent upon wind
and tide that considerable time must
necessarily elapse between the catching
| and eating of said fish, and for the above
| reason venture to say that not one half
| of the fresh aud corned fish brought into
this city during the hot months are
really "tit TO eat.
This is not more the fault OF the pro-
Queer than OF the consumer, people
insist upon having their fish fresh or
slightly corned and so long rs they
prefer 10 eat semi-putrid fish so long
they will be able to procure them.
Yours ofiishally. ED.
