TBI eSXAT BVaO,B>p-KZIB BAOI. A correapondeat of the Boohoatar Unloii, In apesking of the hondred mile raee, layt: I nelloed In your paper of April let, IU7, an arUeto fVom Ihe Albany Batceman, beaded " The one bandred mile raee-the grealatt feat on reeord-nnparalleled tpeed," fee., to.; tbt writer cf which I thlok nuat be toborlig under t grott mittake. On tbe Bib dty of Bay, 1818, "Fanny Jenkt" waa matched agalnit time for Ive bnodred dulton, lo trot one bondred mUei te ten boura, over Ihe Biill^ Bead Coorae, near Albany, N. Y. Sbe perlbmed Uie enUre dIaUice la aloe bonn, Ibrty-Sve minulee and twenty-aeven aaconda.

It wUI be remem- bered that "Many Jenka" iroUtd on a coarte whkb wot In excellent ooodltlon, wbUe Uie race Ital week waa over roada alooat Impttiable on account of the mud tnd tnow drUla: tnd, yet, nolwIUiatandtog Ihto, tber nude elghlr-lbur mllet tnd t half hi eight boura tnd Ian minulta frtnd would have trouod Ihe one bnodred milea In leee Ume than "Iknny Jehka," had Uie Dalton borte kept bto feet Thedlflbr- •use In Ibe aoodlUon of Uie tracki waa equal to at laaat one hour. [We moat pnt a stop to all Author dlaotualon regarding faat time In trottbg one hundred miles by stating that New Tork Ib atlll at iho " bead of the heap." Some time la the latter part of the year ISfiZ, a match Waa made In thla Tleklty that no horae In tho Northern part of the United States conid be produced within one year, that coald trot one hundred miles In nine boura I The wager wae 03000 to 11000, the odda being on time. On the 12th of November, 1863,. Conqueror, a ftiU-blooded gelding, waa brought to the startbg poet, on a Long bland track, and started on the long and trying Journey, under the guidance of Menara, Splcer and HoHann, alternately. Between S and 6 o'clock, P. H,, the feat was conoluded, the noble animal having trotted oiu hundred mla In the eztraordlnaiy time ot tight hourt,J\fly-fiM mnuiu, md J\fiy- tkm tttml*! Including etoppagee for water, spouglog, Ao. Thla Is the most aetoniahlng performance of the kind on reoord. Our neighbors of the rural districts will now please atop their bragging. When they have conquered the " Conqueror," It will be time enough for them to boast of their fast time, but not till then.—Eo. Clip.] Olosino op Biilubd Saloons.— We see It stated that all the Billiard saloons hi Louisville, Ky., have heen closed ia puTsnance of a State law. We have no anthentlo In- formation as to the truth of this statement; bat, If correct, It only goes to show, tbe pnrltanltal notions entertained by some old fogiet lu tbe great and growing West, where snob {qjarjoas Inflaences, It was hoped, would not be suffered to find much favor. What is there In the beaatiful and recreative game of billiards to call forth such opposition t If It Is urged that the game leads to other matters not quite up to some people's Ideas of morality, let us ask those pretended advocates of moral reform where we may look for pure sanctity, undeflled morality, and all that sort of thing T Let us go to the supposed fountain head of morality, the church; let tis tear the veU from the " pillars" of that ohorch, and what do we behold t Cor- TupUon in ita wont torn, . Uecent developments in the OBseofthe'Bev.Ur.Eallooh, of Boston—one oftheehlning lights of that city, and one whose opposltlou to all amuse- ments and manly pastimes has been of the strongest kind— convinoe us, In oonnectlon with other dlsoloenres ellolted In ahnllar trials, ihat tbe ohuroh haa Its full share of wick- edness, though It Is carried on beneath a moral garb. There b no such bypoorlsy abont our bllUaid saloons or other places of amusement—what Is there done, b done openly, before tbe world. If the Great West desires taput an extlngnisher upon Its rapid growth, let It Inderdiot all eports and pastimes for the people. What would New Tork be without lb theatres, lb billiard rooms, Ib bowling alleys, and other elmUar plaoesT What would that " Little Giant of the West," Chicago be, were It not that It b » fao slnille, almost, of our own great Empire CItyT Crush out the people's pastimes, and yon destroy the vlbll^ of a com- munity. It will not do. It b time that all such old fogy and puritanical notions of propriety and morality were consigned to oblivion ; and If Lonlsvilb hopes to contend sucoessfiilly with other sections of oor western country. In the great race now going on, she matt encourage rather than oppose popular amusements. If there is snob a law as that referred to above, we hope It will be speedily annulled. A Foor-Tkir Old. —^We arc growing apace. We are beginning to look npon our " little craft" as a " mighty giant." With the present number we have attained the position of a fouryear-old, and we feel our strength Inoreaslng with our years. But then, .part of the credit for our healthy and prosperous condition b due to those many Mends who have so. nobly stood by us—who have assisted us by their patronage and advice—who have pointed out tho many ehoals and quicksands that seemed to obstruct our onward course—who have kindly reproved us for errors we may have committed, and applauded us when we were deserving of praise. We say, to our kind patrons, subscribers, readers, coneepondents, and all, we are greatly Indebted for our present proud positioa In the newspaper and sporting world. In the oosduot of on]/ journal. It Is a diffloult matter to please all readers; but In the guidance of a ipmting newspaper It b almost ImjKissIble to cater eueoessfhlly ibr the varied tastes of the readera of sooh a Journal. We nifiy ofcnd one class, unwittingly. In ihe very effort to please another. Again, our etrlotores, npon .oerlain occaalons, may seem severe and undeserved, but were onr readers with us, "behind ihe soenes," they would at once acknowledge that Instead of being harsh or severe, we are far too lenient We are loth to condemn, but when the Interesb of the entire sporting commanlty demand It, we consider It our duty to expose ftand, and to hold the perpetratora of It up to publio Indignation.. If we err b Judgment, we are willing and aozlous to have our faulb pointed ont to tia In a courteous manner. With theso few remarks, we again offer onr sincere' thanks for the liberal patronage bestowed upon the present volume of the Ouffsb, and hope our next may meet with equal fkvoir.
