MAILS ARRIVE.


she Great stallion Race.
Following directly npon the great New
England Fair t. be held at Narragansett
Park the st week in September next, comes
another great event of the season which is
to take place on the IL h of September, at
Mystic Park, Mcdford, Mass, ard seems
to keep itself up to the highest pitch of in
tercst not only among the horse-men so
called of New England, but among our az
ricutural people, who every year raise Il
colt or two for profit or for use upon their
farms The entries are large, sixteen in
fast ieput. and all famous in the
studl as the sitcs Of ma no scs
used daily for pleasure about our
roads. Many stations of note are absent
from the entries, lut the field is large
enough to satisfy the most ambitious in
such matters, and the quality is most excel
lent; and if only one-third Of them succeed
in getting the wire in good condition, we
shall see one of the most interesting and
we think useful races that has been held
among the breeders of the country for
long time. The new horse Smuggler. has
lately came among us through the gener-
osity of Col. Russell, for we do consider it
generous for any one to purchase at such an
immense sum such horse for service in
the stud and it looks now as if the first po-
sition for speed and endurance as claimed
by the friends of Smugglerfo him, and thcv
are justly many, would be sharply contended
for. We have no means of knowing accu-
rately about his time, but if reports are
true, he has shown at private trials mar
vellous speed, two heats under . 81 and a
third one very near to it, but he, like all
horses, may come to his work on the day
of trial out of perfect condition. We sin
cerely hope, however, he, and all his rival
will come for their positions in most tX-
cellent order and trim

Columbus, sire of such noted ones as Myron
Perry, Confidence, Harry Harley and many
others, is high up on the ladder of fame.
with a record of 2.2S IA. and deserves the
high reputation he has won, not only in the
stud but from his races.
Mr. David Nevins's stallion Fearnaught
Jr., one of the most magnificent horses we
ever looked upon, is in the field also, and
though' omewhat unlucky in coming for
the word last season, yet we know him to
be last enough to trouble many of his com
panions, and we sincerely hope he will be
up to his work on the day of the race.
son of Phil Sheridan will compete with
his father for honors at this time. and
worthy son of worthy sire he is too, Com

Mr. Wallace of Manchester, n. H.. has
also put in an appearance for his stallion
Ned Wallace; he has trotted when quite
young in 2.33 1-2, and is looked upon by
judges as fast as any entire horse in the
country
The only representative of the celebrated
Morrill, family, unless we take for granted
Fearnaught and Fearnaught Jr, to be of
this stock, is Draco Prince, by Draco, he
by Young Morrill, Prince is owned by Mr.
Poor of Somerville, Mass, has record
2.Si la, and is certainly very fine and fast
stallion ;lhisIappearance is very much in his
favor, for he is very handsome and game
looking Thomas jefferson is also on the
list, By Thomas Chief, out of Gipsev
Queen, Jefferson is called, and with GOOD
deal of propriety, the Black Whirlwind OF

Hartford; his best time is 225 l-2 This
horse has remarkably fine temper, with
indomitable courage and any amount of pa
thence and endurance, and we shall look
for him if in good order among the head of
the class
William ii Allen, who bears close re-
semblance in point of speed and manner of
going to Jefferson, owned by NJ w Baron,
New London, is also entered. His hest
record is . 80 Ia; he was not before the
public last year, being for some cause out
of condition, but he is good one and can
trot heats all day and every day-he was
sired by Volunteer out of Peggy Slender.
Mr.. John DeMass. of Detroit, has placed
IN the contest one of the Pilots, in the shane
of the young stallion Rolls Mambrino his
record is 2.26 l-2, made if we remember
correctly last season-this horse is spoken
very highly OF as well behaved in company,
with plenty of courage and speed.
VIM b { Keller, of Boston, had entered
Srideaway, but we regret the death OF this
fine horse. We have no means of giving
any particular time for him, but rumors are
very prevalent that he was Il fast trotter
and good laster, lie certainly from his
stock, ought to have been a good one on the
slre's side. We find Black Hawk Tole-
graph, and he out of the famous old PAGER.

his record of 2.22 "a, and we are assured
he is better than an empty stall-a fast one

we have always found him true to tae call:
he is owned by Mr. Weber of Boston. and
he has many friends in this vicinity who
speak of him in praise for any race, and
who feel sure of his being credit to them
and to his owner; his record is 220.-
