I did not know that Hall had insured

seems to be the case, for the zeal he
manifests in the cause OF Davis must
proceed from a money consideration, as
he has never been moved into such

"Is it not known to all readers ofthe

him the Wheeling Postofice, has

We must say again that we are sorry

these things, because in his address ITO

some rather spicy sentences. lie is a

regret that we cannot make all these

From the Saratoga Correspondence of the New York


Herald


Shortly before O'clock the four-year- old
racer, Harry Bassett, ridden by the freck-
led boy, Roe, came on the heavy track,
carrying his head sideways, as if he meant
to play race, instead of working it out.
His white feet were splashed with clay !;
his short sheared, thick sorrelish tail and
fine coined name were handsome appenda-
ges to his great length and somewhat friv-
olous and feminine face and carriage. Bas-
sett is perfect colt in behavior with won-
derful parts and speed of which he seems
unconscious; love of horse company,
so that he will never run his best unless
some very fast horse will run with him and
make it agreeable, and he lacks that cheer
full earnestness and look of individual re-
sources and responsibility which make
spectators love LongfellOw as high re-
minder of the human neighbor and fellow
labOrer while they admired the splendOr of
his performances. s.rr- a..


The present champion, Bassett, has the
bearing of Bohemian-able to do better
thing than anybody, but doing it so non-
chalantly that nobody gives him credit for
the exertion he is making. Light of color,
and therefore, like all blondes, seeming to
lack strength handsome, but childish in
manner, kicking out at the grooms, and





this horse is almost type of the behavior
of genius. When he beat Longfellow he
seemed to have no sense of the gravity of
the performance, and moved around the
track as If he would run twice as fast, with
out hesitation, with a good playfellow.
His way of planting his feet in a gallop,
almost feline in tough and thump, is one
of his merits. Although a very large
horse, he drops as softly as bad boy out
of cherry tree, and kills better purpOser
and rivals as pretty woman breaks hearts.
There is poor Longfellow in the stable to-
day, with his whole leg and shoulder swo-
len up double size, the fruit of conscien-
tiOus performance, while this extraordi-
nary and inconsiderate Bohemian stands
in perfect shape and style, ready to run
anything from a rabbit to greyhound.


Nothing can beat Harry Bassett," said
Mcdaniel to me at the pOOl-roOm; " his
speed has never been fully gotten from
him. He won't leave a horse in a race, and
