MR.. CLARK WINS.
Bessie c., ?:20 "a, Not the Horse Some
Horscmen Try TO Make Her.

The board Of control of the National
Trotting association, IN session at Chi
cage, has continued the case against Bessie
c., 2;29f, owned by w. II. Clark of this
city. 1t was claimed that the mare was a
ringer, but the professors failed to prove
the charges. This allows Bessie freedom to
trot over oil tracks and disposes of the case
for some time and probably for all time.
Bessie is going along finely and will make
the horses in her class trot considerably
faster this year TO win. Horsemen here
predicted that Mr.. Clark would ultimately
secure a just decision, though 1t has cost
him some money to fight it.
1t is more than probable that the mare
will be campaigned in the grand circuit if
nothing happens to her.

LongfellOW's First Poem.

The following has long been accepted
"a a true account of how Longfellow's
precocious poetic ability was discovered:
When the great poet was nine years old,
and attended school, his teacher one day
asked him to writea composition. Little
Henry, like most all school boys, shrank
from the undertaking.
His teacher said: "You can write
words, can you nots"
eyes" was the reply.
"Then you can put words!together"
"Yes, sir. :"
"Then," said the master, "you may
take your slate and go out OF doors, and
there you can find something to write
about, and then you can tell what 1t IS,
what it is for, and what is to be done
with it, and that will'b composition. i"
Henry took his slate and went out.
He went behind Mr.. Finney's barn,
which CHANGED to stand near, and seeing
fine turnip growing up, he thought he
knew what it was, what 1t was for, and
what would be done with it.
A half hour had been allowed Henry
for his first undertaking in writing a
composition. In half hour he carried
in his work all accomplished neatly, and
his teacher is said to have been affected
almost to tears when he saw what the
boy had done in so short time. The
composition had been writtensin poetic
form, and was as follows:
Mr.. Finney had turnip
And it grew, and it grew.
And it grew behind the barn,
And the turnip did no harm.
And it grew, and it grew,
Till it could grow no taller;
Then Mr.. Finney took it up
And put it in the cellar.
There it lay there it lay
Till it began to rot;
When his daughter Susie wasted it
And put it in the pot
| Then she boiled it, and boiledit,
| AS long as she was able;
| Then his daughter Lizzie took 1t
| And put it on the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife
| Both sat down to sup;
| And they ate, and they ate,
Until they ate the turnip up.

forty miles an hour--a speed averaged
