PREDICTION.
The following letter from the Turf, Field

of the coming horse:"
LAFAYETTE, IND, Aug II, 1874.
DEAR GOSSIP: Now that Red Cloud has
taken indisputable rank among the fastest
flyers of the trotting turf, and by his gentle
ness and honesty enshrined himself in the al
fections of all Hoosierdom, ifnot of the en-
tire West, allow me, in a sort of circumlocu-
tory way, to bear testimony to the prophetic
Judgment of Mr.. Anderson, then, and per-
haps yet, of Dayton, o., in regard to Legal
Tender, the sire of our Incompatible young
trotter. Some nine or ten years ago we had
race track here, about two miles east OF
the town, on which all sorts OF equine
speed and stamina were brought of. Rather
than such arenic rivalries should not
be known beyond our immediate To-
cality, in the absence of some one
i better tho able se.,on to DO =, so.
ing the referred-to CONSISTS to contem-
pOrary of yours over my own name. About
this time Legal Tender was doing some
pretty tall pacing, and in such flair and
and square" manner as to attract the atten-
ton, elicit the admiration, and beget de-
| sire to own him on the part of the Ny. An
derson adverted to. Not knowing to whom
the coveted horse belonged. and supposing
me to be horseman instead OF RETAILER
of rags" he write me. requesting that L

of the desired information, certain things
regarding
THE 2:2l PACING PRODIGY,
for it was the firm conviction of my strange
correspondent after carefully watching and
weighing the PAGERS performances, that he
was the horse of all others to breed trotters
out of fine Kentucky mares, several of
which he owned. The needed knowledge
was obtained and forwarded, but in the
meantime unanticipated circumstances rem
dered the possession of Legal Tender an I'M
necessary acquisition and there the
matter ended. But the more recent
achievements of Red Cloud, and still
more lately obtained knowledge that our
"beautjful bay" is a son of the black PAGER,
bring before my mind all the more wildly
the Notification of the ratiocination of Mr..
.AI.Gcrson, ventured in "black and white''
long before an issue from the lusty loins of
the now ilIustrious sire aud son afforded
data on which to base his prophetic opinion.
Aside from the object expressed in this epis-
tie, have no other motive in writing to
you, except it be- perhaps, to remind Mr..
Anderson that in not possessing Legal
Tender he Indirectly let fortune slip out OF
his hands. DAVID CARsTAIRs.

A Saratoga letter-writer, in speaking Of
John G. SAKE, the poet. says that he has
made his athlete form very familiar to the
visitors of Congress Hall by coming there
many succeeding years. The poet is not per-
ceptible in his personnel. Six feet and more
in his stockings. A face which does not in
dictate the use of fine clay i'm its construction.
A staggering gait, and the oft outcroppiDg
of an indifference to surroundings, which
may be due to the fact that New York tree
men have never united much in pouring
their votive offerings at his feet.

A correspondent relates the following
anecdote of Pope Plus: The delight, how
ever, of the SIMPLE minded old man reached
a climax the other day, when a French nun
hit upon the scarcely original idea of put
ting contribution to Peters pence into a
large papiermache fish, which she then pre-
sented to the pope. This ingenious allusion
to st. Peters haddock excited the holy
fathers warmest admiration, and has con-
firmed him in his good opinion of the intel
ligence and resources of his children.

Imagine shanty of two rooms, furnished

floors destitute of carpet, ADD dingy wall

singing "Home Again" with great en-
