Eli, you orter seed de trick he played

ON THE COURSE.
In speaking Of Mr.. Clay's fondness
for horses, Eli tells ola fine race mare
the statesman owned, called the "Gol
den Cup" Upon a certain occasion
the mare was matched to run a four
mile race against a famous horse own.
ed by Colonel Sidney Burbridge. The
race came off at Lexington, and every
body in that part OF the country was
present. General Abe Buford, old
man Shy and other distinguished turf
men we're backing the mare, while
Colonel Burbridge, General Warfeld
and other well known horsemen were
playing the horse. "The race wur
run" said Eli, from eend to eend,
and when dey cum out a putin an a

AT THE BOARD.
Eli says that the last time he saw
his master was at a dinner party given
BY him at Ashland the night before
he went to congress in the year he died.
General Breckenridge, Colonel Shelby,
Tom Marshall and other distinguished
gentlemen were present, and altogeth-
er they had a glorious time. Eli says
his master derived more delight from
his dinners that any other source, and
when at home he gave one or two
every week. His master, he said, was
very fond of field larks and blackbirds
and trained one of his servants to the
expert use of the gun. in order hat be
might kill them for him.
Eli says he has ridden many a time
in the old carriage that was exhibited
at the exposition here a year or two
ago, aud that he remembers when it
first went into use. Eli claims that
his master was the author Of the
Beautiful Snow. but asked the re-
porter not to give it away.
