mountain range on fire. You see the long line
full of fiery tongues that lap up the leaves and
we-dried timber, now and then mounting
many feet high, shedding light, over many
miles, aud lighting up the tall peaks of neigh;
boring mountains. Whenever what is called
light God" in old Virginia is struck by the fire,
of course there is great fame, as though the
flames were being lighted on their way. This
eight ood'' is the heart Of dead pine, which
lies on the ground for years without decaying,
being preserved by the rosin that's IN 1t. he
markable objects in the sea of fire are the tall,
dead trees on fire. The flames climb to their
tops, and they stand like martyrs among trees
doomed to death by fire. Their limbs stand
out in the expression of agony and invocation. =

CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAPMAN.
Two Hundred Mile Trot.

We find the following item in the st.
Paul lar'rs:
The Dr,vmr PAX. at ST Paul. Mimi,
was. on the II ,h aud 18Th oi May. made
the scene Of nn extraordinary lrot, Mr..
Martin Delaney matching his sorel mare,
II small full.blooded Morgan, to trot, 2O0
miles in forty.eisht hours, for stake o.
5000. There is something, certainly, in
man being able to make $500 in two
days; but when the risk is considered oil
damaging, forever, a really valuable horse,
worth at least twenty times this pitltul
sum, the speculation cannot be regarded
as either wise or profitable one, leaving
the human aspect out OF the question.
The trot was commenced on the 14th
ult.. at twenty minutes past four A. NJ,
NJ. j. Cummings holding the ribbons.
The mare started out at rate OF more
than ten miles an hour for the first two
hours, aud was gradually slowed to about
an average of ten miles an hour. AT
five minutes past ten she had completed
the first fifty miles, making it in some i've
hours and forty.6ve minutes. She was
then given a rest Of three hours and a
half, and was started at little past hal,
past one on the second fifty mile n'
halfpast seven she had comi,ie'eu ~, nay
;no nod. tho the frs hundred miles ID
tus nauo .n' inch left thirty-three hours
e e a. non. USoTinpletou of the other hundred.
ole a1a made the last mile Of her first hum
bred on the 18th ult., the fastest OF any
FIVE and one.half minutes. The -mare
showed no signs of fatigue, never swcated
q hair, and troted off to the stable to feed
at the end of her days labor as briskly as
though she had just come from the barn.
On Thursday morning, when taken out
of the barn at five o'clock to complete the
trot. she seemed little sore at first, but
soon warmed up, and commenced her
days work with wonderful ease. At ten
o'clock she had completed thirty.one
miles, aud was Withdrawn until four min
utes past twelve p. NJ. After this rest,
in which she manifested no signs of weari-
ness, she made her next seven miles in
one hour and two minutes. No pains
were taken to keep regular account Of
her rate of speed, but in general terms it
averaged, through the day, about six
minutes and five and one.haf seconds per
mile for the first fifty miles, and seven
minutes and two and one.half seconds for
the second fifty miles. After the rest
given the mare from seven until nine
o'clock in the evening-all parties on the
ground saw that she would make her 200
miles easily. She pursued her even gait,
and few minutes past one o'clock com.
plcted the race, making her last mile in
nine minutes and thirty.one seconds Thus
she won the wager, aud in three hours
less than the time given her. She trot-
ted off the track seemingly unconscious Of
the marvel she had performed. While
she was on her last mile, Mr.. Dyer, part.
ner to Mr.. Delaney, her owner, offered
to wager $1,000 that she would make
the last mile OF the 200 in FIVE minutes !;
the wager not being accepted the mare
was allowed to go as che pleased.
