YESTERDAY RAcKs.--We are told
that yesterdays races at the Virginia
course were well attended and were
veiy interesting. They we're espec-
tally interesting to residents of Sutro /,
Dayton aud Silver, inasmuch as sew
eral Of the competing horses are
owned in this county. Our people
went up well provided with coin to
support their opinions with, and, al
though things went somewhat against
them, they did not come back with
empty pockets. To this pleasant
fact is due, not their own shrewdness
or good Judgment of horses, but the
equally fortunate fact that the money
they offered to bet was not ell taken.
They consider this ss something of =
victory over the Virginia sporting
men. The runs being all single
dsshes, there was no chance to hedge.
or play safe after the first heat. The
principal race was between Box &
Sullivan's horse "Mormon Girl" and
Dick Aliens horse "Bob," better
known in these immediate parts as
Hutchinson's horse. The race was
a dash Of u quarter of II mile, for
$500, and was won by bob" in 20
seconds, according to the time of Mat
Cannayan, cit according to another
mans aud 2l4 according to third.
Bob" won the race easily. The race
between Wadells horse "May Day"
and the Wilkins horse was less inter-
esting. 1t Was running dash Of
half mile for $500. The Wilkins
hcrse won easily. Some other runs
took place. but these were tue priu-
cipsl ones.

From THE BLACK HILLs.-George

Holmes received letter on Satur-
day from his uncle Able, who is in
the Black Hills. The latter is an old
resident of this place and has had a
good deal of experience in mining
matters. What he says Of the new
gold fields. therefore, will he of in
terest to our readers. Reliable in
formation from that region is very
difficult to obtain. 1t is the same
with every new mining region.

its true value becomes generally
known. When gold was discovered

fur years subsequently, as conflict

WITH BsEcHER-Isador 1saacs,
of the firm of Cohn & Isaacs, Vir-
ginia, is at present summering in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire.
He writes back to his friends and
business partner that ne is in the So
ciety of Henry Ward Beecher, who
is also spending the heated term in
the cool breezeS of those famous
mountains. We mention this circum-
stance partly as showing how way
ward people sometimes are when
they e, away from horAe and partly
SD that Mr.. Isaacs' lady acquain-
tances may ne prepared for any eccen-
tricitles of conduct that he may dis
play ON his return. Beecher is surely
exercising an influence upon him. AS
that they are quite intim te aud
harmonious we may say that Mr..
Isaacs writes that Beecher has or
dcrcd three full sui from the White
House.
