The Annual Snuahble.

The yearly spring circus-the amphthcatre
around which the political mules are supposed
to trot for the cdihcation of the public-came
of on Monday last, and, as an amusement, filled
the bin to dot
Donahue. 1t was very nice race-m!le dash
in single harness-and Porter won the race by
a neck that is, he won by one.
In ward . the iracas was between DIR. Hattie.
way and Cullen Of the p. trec The race was not
very close, the disciple of Escuapus coming in
nineteen votes ahead of the knight of the goose
quill.
In the Sd ward there was u sort of scrub race
between three candidates for alderman Mr..
Rose did not bloom out soon enough. He was
npped in the bud. Mr.. Bowman, the picture
carpenter, came out gaily. He snorted and
pranccd around the track with all the majesty
OF thoroughbred, sired by Hercules and Dam
if-ino. He "Chawed" his bits and backed up.
He reared up behind and lifted up before. he
walked; he paced; he trotted; he cantered-(de-
cantered); he ran. 1t took four men to hold
him while boy rubbed him down with brick
Then there was Howard, a sort of granger or
meekly chcwed oats and apparently went to
sleep. When the word Ego" was given the nags
started. The bay gelding, Bowman, far ahead
Howard moved off on regular all day gallop,
1t was strong, steady business gait. Rose
wihed on the first quarter and left the track.
The frey bay gelding somehow weakened on the
home stretch, and the old granger came slowly
but surely along. Soon the nags were abreast,
and then Howard kicked up his heels, uttered Il
neigh Of anticipation, as if he smelt oats at the
home post, and made for it, leaving the thor
oughbred b. {. fire lengths behind. When the
race was over Bowman was heard to cxclam,
"Hol0 ord it is TO die for ones country
In the 18th ward the contest was between
Brown and Stormont. The fight was hard, but
as Brown POLITICALLY said in the evening to his
competition, The Shamrock OF Ireland will
float over the orange lily tomorrow" and it
was so, by ii majority.
In the 9TH McGnnis had Wolf hunt. He
pursued the animal all day and captured him in
the evening by 26 majority.
In the sixth there was sort Of thrcc.cor-
nercd fight for two tiCcs-aldermanship. At
noon Mr.. Strawn retired in disgust and left q
clear field to Hoban and Mates.
In the 7th Mr.. Griffith was too numerous to-
mention for Mr.. Field and his "town crittcr."
Thus ended the election. II our account Of it
is Objectionable, we are prepared to make il
