the race will interfere. He is especially
AFRAID that those persons who have wagered
large sums against him Will endeavor, tf they see

excellent health and spirits, and, after tidng over
the 40Orh mile, seemed happier than any 'clam at
high water" He was confident OF success so
were his attendants. 1t was allotted that he
should complete 4S0 miles by midnight, so as to
leave only 70 miles to be rounded to-day. The

There has been much alarm and indignation
caused throughout the State oy the summary 81
rest and imprisonment Of several dentists OF high
standing on legal techncality. Two rival COM
panies, engaged in the manufacture Of dental ap.
paratus, have been squabbinQ for long time
about the title TO manufacture said articles, and
an order was issued rom the United States
District Court At Trenton, restraining the
dentists from purchasing or using the
goods OF one OF the companies. Inasmuch
as the culpabilty properly rested on the
company making the goods without due patent,
some OF the dentists, acting under legal advice.
continued TO use their old Implements The re.
suit was that they were subpGnaeo to appear In
court and when they proceeded thither were placed
under arbitrary arrest, and sentenced some to
thirty days and one to three months, imprts0n-
ment. Some OF the aggreved parties are men OF high
reputation and culture. and their sudden commit
