FORT DrDwELL RACES.
Lively Facing in spite Of Unpropifious
Weather.

On tho evening of the 10Th instant
the men entering horses for the next
days races agreed to run, fair weather
or foul, aud as at that time (6 o'clock
P. NJ it was blowing "big guns" and
the track was covered with three inches
of snow, old-time sports looked forward
to new experience and juvenile sports
were gratified to think that their pleas
ures were not to be deferred.
The 18th instant was stormy, blus-
tering day, with the snow flying in all
directions, and 80 thick that it was but
very occasionally that glimpse of the
horses was caught from the grand
stand. In defiance of this rnpropitious
state OF affairs, however, at 2 o'clock
p. NJ, four horses came to the scratch
for the single dash of half a mile, for a
purse of S75, with 81 so entrance fee
added to the purse.
Company c, First Cavalry, entered
Postboy; Dyson, Brick Pomeroy; Fit
ner, Billy Hicks; and Gaby, Caducas.
Pomeroy was started without a rider,
and taking the lead, kept it to the end,
being closely pushed by Caducas; Billy
Hicks third, and the cavalry horse last.
The saddle horse race for $40, with
S. entrance fee added to the purse, was
deferred until the l4th instant, as it
was impossible to judge properly of the
respective merits Of the horses.
The saddle-horse race, for which the
following horses were entered, was won
by Dyson's ODE; Sooner, second; Patsy
Mccarthy, Sd; Nelly Hardness, fourth;
Coal Oil Tommy, fifth.

horse), was the next on the programme.
The entrances were asfollows: p. Crow
ley entered Modec tcavalry horse); Dy-
son & Rucker, Ned Smith; Flitner, Ida
Hammond. Ned Smith and Ida Ham
mond were favorites at three to two
and even bets were given that Modoc
would be last. The track was very
hard, aud the cavalry horse won the
race by from three to five lengths; Lila
Hammond, second; Ned Smith, a poor
third. Time, l .53la, with a track de-
clared to be six seconds slow.
The trottirg race for a purse OF $40,
mile heats, best three in FIVE, $40 en-
trance added to purse, and second horse
to receive $40, was won by Monroe's
Ventura; Kitty getting second money;

race.
The half mile and repeat race was
won by Hacker & Dy,on's Pomeloy;
Caducas winning the first heat; Modoc,
the second; Pomeroy, the third and
fourth. The purse was for $75, with
81 so entrance fee added.
In consequence of the late hour at
which this race was concluded, on
Sunday, the 10th instant, the 60Oyard
race for SIS, with AN entrance fee of s.
added. was run, and won by ODE, beat
ing Clubfoot. Caducas and Postboy hav-
ing been withdrawn.
The Consolation stakes of $50, with
s. entrance fee added, was won by Ca
ducas, after running his one-half mile
against Billy Hicks and Ned Smith on
a false start. They scored a second
time, and after hard struggle he again

A Disease that Threatens to Check the
Export of American Cattle - English
Dealers Taking Steps to Defend Their
Interests.
NEW York, Jan. 31.-News that the British
government had prohibited the importation
of live cattle from America has created con-
siderable excitement among shippers of live
stock, and also among sup owners, several
lines of steamers running from this and
other American ports having made large
contracts ahead for 1879. The Eoeniag Post
says: "During the summer months last
year many of the large steamers of the
National line were especially fitted up and
wholly devoted to this business, the num-
Der Of cattle shipped by single vessel often
numbering more than 400. The alleged
decision of the English government was en-
tirely unexpected. The present is the dull
est time in the trade, but even now there are
probably more than 1900 head of cattle on
the way to England. Two cargoes consigned
by Goldsmith & Taffee arrived at Liverpool
yesterday, and Phillips said he had received
no word from their agent there of any at
tempt to prevent their landing. The British
vice consul says he had no official notifica-
ton of any attempt on the part of the
British government to prevent the importa-
ton of American cattle.

EXAGGERATED.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 31.--The privy council de-
pertinent has under consideration the sub
ject Of future arrivals of cattle from America.
Those engaged in the trade contend that un-
necessary alarm has been created out of the
Ontario's case and dispute the statement
that the animals suffered from pleura pneu-
monia. They have retained veterinary sur
geons of high repute to act as check upon
the privy council inspectors.
