About 35 were realized. -------On Monday evening, as Mr. Joseph Fearnley wa3 driving a epan of horws 'attached f a load of icin^er do-j:n Hjnds' hill, by some means the traces became detached, and the horses ran at a break-neck epeed until they reached Mr. Agnew's stables. The Ragon ran into the gutter and Mr. Fearnley jumped off, but received no injury.-. Tfa pojy djanxage doae,was the horses breaking the handle off the pump at the entrance to^Aipjew's stables.

As they strnighteued away on the homeward Btrotch Riley lost ground slightly by hug- ging tho shorn too closely, and both Pluisted and McKon got iho beat of him in tlio firht hulf of tho third inilo. Kouuody still holding to soooud pluco with a toiueity thut did grout credit to tho pluck und ondumnco of ho " littlo one." McTCon, who was in tho fourth 4)lncc, now Hindu a vigorous spurt, pulling bomothing hko 3C or 37 stroked to tho minute, nnd i'l u fow Rocondu ho was on almost oven terms with tho lightning sculler of Boston.

As tho third inilo was finished Hanlan wjis lending by fully ten lengths, and pulling only 27 strokes to tho miuuto. Then came Plaisted, who had fully cap tured the PottUnd man, and after him came Rilej', tho others being bj- this time pr<tctically out of it. From lids to the finish tho contest was, one of"; littlo or no interest. Riley gave it up ruoio than a quai- ter ot ii milo from tlio riiii-li, und while Hiinl.m merely paddled homo tv dozon lengths ahoad, pullini'rtnlv about 27 to tho minute, Piaisted felt so sure of second p'.aco that ho did not exert biuiBolf to do any tbing more than to lead Kennedy over tho score.
