The Representative Question has finally been disposed of by the Constitutional Convention. The ratio of representation is to be deter mined by di\ iding the population of the Mate a.-> ascertained by the last census by two hundred. Each county is to have at least one representative, wbat vei their iiopulatiou may be. This will j makt the Lower House of out Legisla ture one of the largest legislative bodies i in the country, though n< I so large as some of the New England Legislatures. Trotting (curst. Those having the matt r in charge have finally effected a lease of about twelve acres of land situated on tla spafford farm at Lyuiansville. for the ' pur{:.ses of a fair ground and trotting course. This will give a half-mile track and the ground level and well adapted to the purpose, as fine a course as is to j be found any where in the country can jbe constructed for a comparatively i .-mall sum. This looks like business and we hail it as an improvement of great inii>oi tanee to this vi unity. Fast, well-trained blooded horses are I appreciated by every one and experi i ence has proved that the trotting course |is liecessaiy to their production. Toe thoroughbred American horse is to-day without an equal on the face of the | carta and it is the trotting course that ! made him what be is.
