This race was f5Ea PURGE Of SI7j, 500 to
the first horse. $50 TO the second, ani S2j to
the third. hest three in five, open TO Rll horses
The entries were as follows J. Rounds Of
Hinesburg, names BIS. ''Bnly B0wiegs;'' S. c.
Cutting Of Burlington, 2. 2. Bismarck E
Flannery Of Richmond, b. 2. "Geu. Grant,"
Aurin Cox of Bethel, b. 9. Fred Billings"
Bismarck did no. start Bowlegs won the pole,
Grant second, Billings third. They were sent
away upon the fifth scoring. but Billings broke
badly on the start and did not come up during
the heat. The race between Grant and Bowlegs
was close to the second quarter, when Grant
shot ahead, but vas ''come up to" on the home
stretch. which was trotted side by side. Grant
was half length ahead on reaching the score
but Jumped 1t and was declared second, Bow
legs first and Billings third. This heat was ex-
Ching, aud the best time Of the season was
made
Second H.at.-Bowlegs led handsomely to
the third quarter, when Grant put in some of
his long strides aud passed him, and won the
heat by four rods. Bowlegs broke but slightly
in this heat. and Billings trotted square and
handsomely throughout.
Third Heaf-Grant took the lead at the
start, and kept it through the heat, winning by
about the same distance as the second Boglegs
broke up oftener in this heat, and Grant less.
Billings kept square at his work, and only
skipped once.
Fourth Heat.-Grant and Bowlegs both went
off their feet soon after scoring, but Grant got
down to his work first. BOwlegs, who had done
such handsome work, began to behave badly,
and it was soon evident the game wss up with
him. Billings, who had trotted some distance
behind in every heat, now passed Bowlegs on
the first quarter, and followed within about
ten rods of Grant General Grant came in a
long distance ahead of Bowlegs, with whom was
the contest, and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The winning horse was petted like
child, and the owner, Mr.. Flsnnery, came very
near being carried off on the shoulders of his
friends.

The above error has had long and wide cir
culltiou, to which come Yermonters have con-
tributel The author Of the Chittenden county
Chapter in Hemenways Gazetteer, quotes the
statement that Vermont, by the census of 1870
had Is slaves, from Seybart's tatistical Auaals,
and alludes to it as humiliatug fact" The
statement, however, by whomsoever male, has
never much troubled the Vermonters who hap
peneI to remember the unquestionei fact, that
the first Constitution Of Vermont. adopted in
III, AMI every subsequent constitution, pro-
hi5Hef slarery in express terms, declaring that
sill men are born equally free and indepen.
dent, and have certain natural, inherent and
unalensble rights, among which are the enjoy
ing and defending life and liberty
therefore no male person born in this country,
or brought from over sea, ought to be holden by
law to serve any person as a servant, slave or
apprentice, after he arrives at the age of
p years, nor female in ike manner after
she arrives at the age Of IS years, unless they
are bound by their own consent after they arrive
at such age SC. Under the fundamental
law Of the State, from its first existence as a
separate commonwealth, it was thus impossible
that any person could be held as a slave, and
the alleged statement Of the census has accord
ingly been set down as an obvious error.
1t is nevertheless an interesting fact that the
incorrectness Of the current statement should be
proved from the original returns of the census
The writer is obviously in error in citing
Maine as State that returned no slaves by the
census of1790. Maine was then, and until 1920,
a part of Massachusetts,. Massachusetts,, up to
1888 st least, held slaves, and the Political Text
Book for 1860, compiled by Horace Greeley and
John F. Cleveland, is probably altogether cor
rect in its assertion thst " Vermont is probably
the only portion of the revolutionary confeders-
ton, never polluted by the tread of q slave"

what date Tammany is to be hung To
these inquiries Mr.. Greeley makes the fol-
