THAT RAcE.-The long talked of race be-
tween those celebrated steeds, Mr.. Jos. St.
Amant's bay stallion st. Julien and Mr..
Edmond Selassie's roam horse Dandy, took
place at the locality known as Jack Old
Field" near Port Vincent, on Saturday
last, in the presence of large crowd OF in
terested spectators. The distance to be run
was one-quarter of mile and the stakes
were $500 side, but the outside bets are
said to have aggregated fully $500 more.
The nags got away we'll together, and the
stallion quickly took the lead, maintain
ing it to the finish and winning the race by
twenty or thirty feet. The Ascensionites
were enthusiastic over the success of their
favorite, and will back st. Julien against
all corners until somebody turns up with
a local Maud and lowers the stations
record.
Our young friend L. Sidney Landry,
whose convalescenee was reported in the
CHIKF week before last, suffered reiaspe
last week and for some time was sol low that
his recovery was despaired of. Drs. Nc
Galliard and Hanson were in constant at
tendance during the crisis in the patients
disease, and his father, Mr.. Hercule Ian
dry, was also faithful watcher Mt his
bedside. The combined influences of med
ical skill, careful nursing and strong con-
stitution brought Sidney safely through
the "valley of the shadow of DEATH" and
we rejoice to say that he seems again in a.
fair way to regain his health. He was
threatened with second relaspe few
days ago, but at this writingis doing fine
ly. Mr.. and Mrs. P. Klopman and other
members of the Israel household have de-
voted much time and attention to the care
of their sick young friend, and he is great
" indebted to their solicitude for his prom
ised recovery.
