The handicap at Ingleside yesterday in which Miss Rowena, Novia, Valencienpe and Midlight were starters, developed in- to one of the noiSest sessions of the whole meeting at the local track. Of course, popular feeling and the public's dollars were all with Miss Rowena and her III pounds, the mare going to the post to favorite. Of the other three, Nov1a caught the general fancy and was heavily supported with her light impost Of Sl pounds Valencienne, lobster" the day previous. was also well played. From the very outset the race was a graphic dis play of rough riding. The favorite was away none too well, and Piggott hustled her hard to get to the front. Bullman on Mdlight sought the rail, and in hls effort to get there, caused Devin, astrlue Novia. to pull up. At the far turn Powell with the leg up on Valencienne, was n1t- ed high in the air. Turning into the stretch, Piggott tried to carry Midnight on the outside into the shubbery on neighboring hillside, and Bullman, on the latter mare objected. In the shufhe Novia got another pumping. Finally strengthened away, Midlight got through and beat Novia nearly three lengths. Ar ter a consultation, in which all but Presi- dent Crocker had a word, the judges dis qualified Midlight and suspended Bullman for thirty days. Piggott's rough tactics were entirely overlooked, though equally palpable.

Richmond, Va, April 27.-Col Richard
C Marshall. OF Portsmouth. a gallant
veteran of the last war and one Of the
most courageous men in Virginia has
been in Richmond in conference with
Gov. Tyler and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. He
will propose to Secretary Alger the or
sanization of a negro brigade.
1t is a well-known fact that the mill
tary authorities Of Virginia have foe
some days been perplexed concerning the
disposition of the negro soldiery of the
State. The governor was DESTROYS of
calling into service the eight colored
companies in the Old Dominion, but he
felt that it would he impracticable to
place them in regiment with white
troops and when Col. Marshall arrived
here and submitted his proposition to
organize a brigade of negroes the gov
ernor at once hailed the proposition
with delight. He gave Col. Marshall a
strong letter to Gen. Alger indOrsing
the scheme, and Gen. Lee also wrote one
to the Secretary OF War. testifying 10
Col Marshalls gallantry as a soldier
and ability as a commanding officer.
The general also asserted that he
would. if given command of a corps or
division of volunteers, be entirely willing
to have the negro brigade with him, and
Secretary Alger.
Col. Marshall has given considerable
thought to the project, and says if au-
thorized to do so, he can within sixty
days organize "A brigade of negroes which
will prove one of the strongest lighting
machines" in the United States Army.

he would confine to negroes. and says he
believes more satisfactory results, both
TO the troops and to the Army, can be
obtained by this plan.
Col. Marshall has assurances from a
large number of negroes on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia and North Carolina
that they would be glad to unite with
him in the formation of a brigade and
would be willing to follow him to Cuba
to Spain or elsewhere. and he will, if Civ

could, he said, better stand the hot eli
