Hla awnojiv was the daeit and moat oarefully attended to In the ooontry, and hla horses were well known for their euoeoesee In the field; as U a race was to be won, and he won it. It waa by dint of aopertor fiiknagament of the auperb animal 1 whloh he sent Into-the' contest; If he lost. It was tiy a fair beat. Placed by an tode- pendent fortune fW abovothe Influence of theoomparatlvely small anms whloh could l>e won or lost, he ran his horses through love for the eporc llseir, and no one ever dared'to attribute to him the unworthy mottve of ever having bought or a^ldaraoe. An Immense eensatton was created amongst the flreqnenten of the tnrf by the arrival In NewTork ot a horse from the South, for which it waa claimed that It never bad been beaten.

In all probability, rwemoled as mach the article iMlonglng to the real Blmon Pure at one tall can reaemUe another. Mr. :WesUm did not permit the Sonthem gentry to go long a begging for a onstomer. With a promptitude and energy which admitted of no h«"V'"(T out he look up the giuntlat whloh had ao defiantly been thrown down, and expreesed himself ready at tbe earliest opportunity to test the merits of bis "Hero" against the "Oen. Bragg" of Southern fame. All prelbnlnarles were soon arranged, and at an early day the great event was to oome off; five hundred dollais a side having been died upon aa tbe amount te be run for.

Butohucillng with pleasnrs at}%he piospeot of the manner to wbloh he was about to "do** thn vlllalna who were plotting against bis old master, he got it TM^ed, emptied It at a draught and then went with lighter 'havt to enjoy his game at ten pins; In Ihe exuberance of his nmts playing his balls with auohwHd ferocity (ss if each of thpn hadbee9 the head of.a conspirator) that he hardly ever made a count and retired fh)m the contest with a considerable bde made in bis flve-dOIlar btlL' Next night Sam mat his lrlends aooordlng to promise, when a' plan was proposed and adopted whliA they thought would work well and insure the object which they had In view. A party ot men were to feign an attack upon tIArnotlse, the dogs being flret dispatched by bludgeons, or othaavlse; and in the confusion oonseqnent upon this. It waa.houd to draw attention from tbe etablaa, towards which Sam'wis to'devote his attention, and en- deavor to dose the horse whtoU wss to ran against "Oen. Brsog," so that he might be put outot condition and victory over Uin rendered certain. H was the night before the day appointed for the great race. At a spot not ftr from the houie of Henry Weeton wero collected haua dozen men, who, by dUTorent routes aud at different times, so; sS to escape observatlOD, htd one by one oome together; among the number was Sam Oakley, under whoee gnldaoce the resulnder plaoed'themselvos. It was near midnight when they made their way Into the grounds, and by cautions movements tMgen to approach the premises. To the surprise of all, tho dogs gave no sign—even the celebrated terriers seeming to t)e asleep at thelr.poft^. Sam placed himself close , to the eUbles; 'thit^mjAJqaer o<^iAmanced .oporationD.by endeavoring to ;bunt opeb Chb front door luid 'Shonbng "fireI" "Their plans wbiVSd' well, so far. At the first alarm the stable doors oiwaed and Saiti sllppsd qnlstly to, while there Issued forth from tbe starabbery and ont-bonsee a dozen men armed with stout bludgeons, and each supplied with a dark lanthoro, which, when "turned on,'* made the place aa light as day. Falling npon the invaders, they thrashed them soundly; and, securing them firmly, shut them up In an ont-honae until the morning. ' The faahlonable sporting world turned out next day to witness the great trial of speed betWeen the chlmploB horsea of the North and South; "Hero," as being t>est known to tha vlolnlty, was decidedly the favorite, thongt^./'Oeii.

'At last, oil wts'about res^, whsn, to the coosternatton 'of - OA'Soaltaernirs, "Hero"' waa led on to tbe ground by Sam Oahleyl - It waa now too late to baok out; tho race hod to be and w/u ron, "Oen. Bragg" being, literally nowhere. • , To aave themselves tram farther punishment the tools ot these men made a fall confession ot the plot and "Sen. Bragg" was played out very quickly, Sam Oakley was re-toatated.to his old master's employment and ever after aerved him falthlnlly. After the race between "Hero" and "Oen. Bragg," there was another ohe between two animals ot Inferior note, which resulted In the fhTorila losing, much to tbe chsgilnormany of the "green 'una" who had staked their money upon. her.

The . excitement during the first raoe jvos at its height when a tall, elderly gent, our old acquatntanoe, OoL French, wheeled sharply round, and selling a iblld-looklng youth by the' Dollar charged him with abetracttog his. pocket-book. Many of the bystanders proposed lynching him at onoe by hanging him up to ftoht of the Qrahd Stand, aa a warning to evll-doen>.; but this was overruled as being rather a dangerous frecednili' A' poUoeman, of oonrse, waa not tO'lie found (the two who were de- tailed for duQr having Importait buelnees .In a rttreshment tent with two lady friends of tholra, balling' from the vicliilty of Otoad street), and he waa therefore tearched on theepotbya oonple of gentlemen; but nothing being found on him but an old theatre oneck, a few oents, and a cotton handkerchief, ho waa permitted to leave, protesting, with tears In his eyes, his sntlre umooenoe. And reslly Innocent he was, the real operator. Jemmy, tacaptog to the confuslonj In tbe oonrse of the after, noon the pookethook wu picked up, mtous sny funds It may have contained, by Jobson, a detective; who, with praiseworthy seal, to make hbnself master, as It were, of the situation, at the earlleat opportunity oarefully perused every scrap of paper he foand on it. He knew veiy well by the superscription on one or two notes who wae'the owner. Col. Ft«nch was a man of some reputation, but then it was requisite that every thtog should be oareltilly noied, for was bo not reaponalble for It now that It was in hla hands ? One epistle puzzled him considerably, because it was written In a foreign language. The New York police, as a general thing, are not very celebrated as llogulsis, nor for their style of Uuguage, Thtre were only two word* he could make outisnd theae were "UdUe, Herbert," The'•Madamol- aelle" he couldn't make m'uoh of; bQt to oonneoUon with the HeHMtt;" it was auffloient to Itx his' attention. 'Visions of dUcs ot ••gieetabaaks" t>egan to float before- his eyes, tbe proceeds of the reward for the discovery ol that young lady; and jobson hur- ried home in a high fever of expectancy. But a fresh cause of 'ixily arose; ho must have the note iraGalated. But who he tai ortruattodolt? It he took It to any one, might they not appropriate the information to themselves, give him a iUae reading, and forestall him to his plsns? The note wss signed "L, B.," but who was he, or she ? Six honrs spent over the B-'s in the directory left bun as much in the dark as ever. At last a luoky thought struck htm, he rushed to a second.band book store and Invested In an immense French and lagllsb and BngUah and French dictionary; and after a hard nigbt's work dIacoverM' that that "Hd'Ue" meant Hiss. Well, this was at lOBtt ao fkr aallslhotory, "Ulss Herbert" was plain enouKb, and that waa all; so he resorted to tho. directory sgaln, uia at last dliooveted a ••Lemuel Buokmaater, Centre street?'
