THE MUSTANG RACE.-Strange to say there
was not an unusually large crowd in attend
ance at Presumpscot Park Saturday afternoon
to witness the great Mustang race which had
been SO extensively advertised both in the daily
papers and in various other ways. One would
naturally expect that the novelty of the race
would have attracted larger crowd. 1t wasn't
a real exciting affair, and those who attended
expecting to see Peralto thrown off dozen or
two times or to see the mustangs bolt to any
amount were terribly DISAPPOINTED, for moth
ing of the kind occurred. The rider, who by
the way is an excellent one, was not thrown
then not badly. The race of the English
thoroughbreds on this park last season was
much more exciting aud interesting.
The conditions of the race were that Francis
co Peralto young Mexican, who had been ac-
customed to the management of wild horses
from his earliest youth, should ride sixty-fiv
miles in three hours, using fifteen California
bred mustangs, the rider carrying up 200
pounds, riding each of them as long as he saw
he choose and reverse the same at any time,
Uut WITHOUT ASSISTANCE except q nOSller 10 sad
die and prepare the mustangs.
At 3 o'clock Peralto was in his saddle and got
the word ''go" from the judges stand. Dr. S.
Fl. Tewksbay and Mr.. George Wathehouse act
ed as judges and time keepers. The first mile
was made in 2.22, while the quickest time was
made in 2.21. The last mile was made in
2.25 Ia, and the whole distance of 65 miles in
two hours and fifty-six minutes and eleven Sec
onds, thus winning the race with three minutes
and forty-nine seconds to spare. 1t was not a
trial of the endurance of the mustangs, for they
probably would have gone much fur
Their as they were changed very often.
And as Peralto rode five hours in
Boston recently it was not very in
teresting trial of his endurance. The bits used
on the mustangs are very cruel affairs and
ought not to be allowed ON an animal of any
kind. Besides the regular curb bit there is a
long bar which passes up into the roof of the
mouth, giving great purchase when the reins
are drawn tight.

DIR. ScHENoK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other reme-
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tents it must do great injury; for its tendency is to
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, of
course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonc Syrup is warranted not to contain parti-
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this Invaluable medicine is ac-
companied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is pro
fessonaly at his principal Office, Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

MAINE REGIsTER.-The 1867 number of
that indispensable companion to the business

been issued by Hoyt, Fogg & Donham, and of
course will be eagerly sought after. The mer-
its of this manual are so obvious and so gener-
ally acknowledged that mention of them seems
superfuous. But the present number, which
by the way is gotten up in handsomer shape
than any of its predecessors, contains some
new features that will render the volume more
acceptable than ever to the citizens of Maine.
Among these may be mentioned the revised
constitution with all the amendments incor-
porated, the statistics of religious denomina-
tions,t the revised and enlarged trade directories
and the statistics of the various secret and
charitable organizations. The usual statistics
of elections, registers of counties and towns,
lists of newspapers, bankers and professional
men, historical information, court calendars,
postal rates, etc., are revised up to date. The
Yearbook is as a whole and in all its parts.
