Soon' after:leaving this place the Dalton horse began 'to flag, and his driver noticing, it, concluded to stay in' Pro gress, and on,reaching :Frankfort, 87 miles from this city, stopped and. gut his horse in the stable, where he was given every htten , tion that could- possibly be rendered. sir. Taylor upOn ithserving that Mr. Dal. ton had withdrawn, checked' the speed' of his horse, put on the-blatikets, and walked along the road a distance of eleven miles, until reaching the outskirts of Utica, when he re ceived information that Mr. Dalton's horse, being very melt refreshed, had again been put upon the road, and was coming along at a good' pace. The blankets . were ,removed from the Taylor horse,' and having been well rested he received the word with ; spirit and started otr, at a rapid pace, passing through Utica at 4 o'clock and 45 . ininutes .; about two miles ahead of the Dalton horse, ana reached Whitesboro at. 5 o'cloCk and 22 minutes, having accomplished the entire distance of gala in b,wl.s ty-two minutest ! ! after having walked eleven miles of 4, the distance! The Dalton horse be. fore leaching Whitesboro was checked and walked hearty a mile. Both horses on reaching Whitesboro' were properly cared for, and were . in . good condi tion, save being tired. They gave no indica tion of having sustained any injuries from the great task they had accomplished, and we are assured by their owners ; are held :as more valuable to-day than when they started upon the 'race. The. Taylor . horse will probably reach this city to-morrow from. Utica; and al though we have no positive information as to the Dalton horse, we presume he will come at the same' time ; when \an opportunity will be afforded our citizens to take " a sight" at them. As an evidence of the great endurance of the Taylor horse, we may state that the last half mile of the race was trotted in two min utes ; and between- Fort Plain and Herki mer, 1211- miles trotted inside of an noun. \ The roads were in very bad condition, and in some places were obstructed by heavy snowdrifts. The horses carried about three hundred pounds each, and we are assured by one of 'the. Judges who .accompanied them that during the entire distance-neither of the horses was touched with a whip. A party accompanying them had made arrangements for relays, so as to travel the distance with four horses, and although they Were as good as could be found, not.'one of lhern could keep upsviith the tontestants for the 25 Miles. The horses . were watered at points along-the road as the drivers deemed it advisable, and at no time between this city . and Herkitner were over 300 yards.apart.— Mr. Taylor never got out of his sulky be tween this city and Whitesboro' and on the end of his journey, remarked that he felt " in Condition to walk 30 miles." At all points along the route the greatest excitement was manifest. Crowds of men, women and children were on the - road, and seemed to partake of the interest which dui contest had created. At Utica thousands of people had assembled in the streets through which the horses were to pass, 'and we are informed by a gentleman from that city he has never seen' anything to equal' it. So at Whitesboro ; it appeared as though the whole country had "cone to , town" to see' tt e hor ses, and to be present' at the termination o the race. ' • The statement that , there was an objection offered to the giving up of the stake§ is with outfoundation, as Mr. Dalton conceded that he had lost the race, and the winnir.g party was entitled to the money. This is the greatest rate on record. nothing of the kind ever :having been attempted be- }ore--and gee speed shown by -the horses surprises eierybody. Even in the hundred mile races Over a 'Course; the time has not. been equall‘d, and had the same speed been kept up tolthe end of the journey as was. shown to Herkimer, the, hundred miles would have been trotted in a little over nine hours. romattaczo Tssvouxas.—The Hartford Chronicle' sac,` Dr. Ayer's business Agents are a pleasant annual to ns, coming about ay surely as the year.
