The stone work was let to Mr.. Tho
Shimmln, Jr., Of La Crosse, for the sum
of $4,000, His contract required him to
complete the work by November lat,
1879, which he has failed to do. The
delays, am assured, have arisen from the
difficulty IN procuring stone and masons
to cut them. the great demand for stone
and masons 10 rebuild Chicago, having
occasioned this EN- harrasment. The stone

A CLEVER Trick By A VIRGINIA HORSE.
At the Saratoga, N. Y. races Saturday
Hubbard" the horse Of Mcdaniel, the
Virginia turfman, played curious trick in
the mile $1,000 race, in which the famous
Harry Bassett and Wanderer also ran. A
dispatch says:
The Mcdaniel entry was the favorite,
though Wanderer had many hackers A
good start was affected, Bassett getting
away first, Wanderer second and Hubbard
third AT the halt mile pole Wanderer was
leading Bassett by about length, Hubbard
making trottng race some dozen length in
the rear No change of consequence took
place in their relative positions for the first
mile. going up the back stretch, Byesett quill

cry minute looked every inch winner -
At this period the hackers Of McDaniel' s
stable sought to hedge their bets, and there
were large odds that Wanderer would win
finding but few takers The glorious I'M
certainty Of racing was destined, however to
receive another illustration, when it seemed
all but impossible that Wanderer could lose
Hubbard passing Bassett, rushed along at a
tremendous pace, challenging WandArer,
and taking the lead from him. Entering
the home stretch, Hubbard led by two
lengths, and won as he pleased The re-
suit of the race created great establishment,
as before the start, Col Mcdaniel applied
for permission to Withdraw Hubbard. The
judges, under the rule Of the association
decl,niug to grant permission. Mcdaniel
gave GU, that he would merely gallop Hub
