Yesterday afternoon there was another
OF tho interesting amateur horse races
which have entertained the local horse
lovers for several days on the State Fair
grounds. John S%weeney's and Dan
Heiskclls nags were matched for fifty
dollars a side, and the contest drew to

The result was avictory for Mr.. Sweeney
in two straight heats, and lots OF cold

ito. The first heat was made by the
winner 2:50l and tho second in oh

HOW TALLEYRAND WAS LAMED.

Himself.

The Vexed Question settled by TaIIeyrand
Himself.
The cause of Talleyrand's lameness
has long been matter of dispute.
During the fifty-two years which have
elapsed since his death, his deformity
has been accounted for in all manner Of
ways
Some stories have it that the defect
was congenial; others that it was oc-
casioned by an accident which befen
him in his infancy. The most curious
explanation of all is that offered 10y
writer in the Quarterly Review. To
quote the very words of our informant.
an cminently distinguished diplomat"
saws this writer, '-Talleyrand's Vienna
colleague. Baron Wessenberg, told me
wears ago that his lameness was owing
to the careleSSness of his nurse. who
laid him down in field while she fiirted
with her sweetheart, and on coming
back to her charge found some pigs din
ing on the infants legs / am sure that
Wessenberg told me this as an estab-
lished fact. and am all but sure that
