of Bob’s pocket by the violence of his

Col. ft. O. Ingmoll :
Dear Sir—From all I can learn from
Indiana, the chtflces to day are decidedly
against us. I deem it of the utmost im
portance that you devote to them at
least thirteen speeches, one for each dis
trict. If we gain Indiana, our labor is
virtually ended. The Democracy will
conclude that defeat in November is
inevitable. I fear that you aie inclined
to appropriate too much time in Ohio.
I Bee by the Peoria Transcript that you
are to speak at Indianapolis on Monday
next. You are also advertised in Ohio
for the same day. Please telegraph me
if you have an appointment at Indian
apolis on Monday. If so, I will meet
you there. Respectfully yours,
A. C. Babcock.
The opinion of that little cavalry
fraud, Kilpatrick, that Indiana was lost
to the Democrats unless the Republi
cans frantically waved the bloody shirt
and poured “plenty of money” into the
State, is now endorsed by no less a per
sonage than the Chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee of
Illinois. Bob Ingersoll will shake the
bloody shirt for them. As Captain
Cuttle said of Bunsby, “ he can if any
body can.”
And now let our good friends of In
diana be cheered up to renewed exer-
tions. They hold a winning hand.

The Fastest Time on Record,
Louisville, Ky.,September 27.—ThiB
was the extra day of the Lousisyille
Jockey Club’s fall racing meeting, and
it proved replete with surprises and
astonishing events. The weather was
cool and bright, just of that bracing
nature to entice a large crowd to the
race track, particularly as Harper’s
famous colt, Ten Broeck, was to make
his run against time, dash of four
mileB. While there were a good many
strangers present, thousands of home
people crowded the stands and place of
vantage, making the enclosure seem
like a bustling, busy world of its own.
Crouse’s bay colt Add also made the
attempt with Ten Broeck.
The trial resulted in a marvellous
success, for Ten Broeck ran the distance
in the remarkable time of 7:15$, beat
ing Fellowcraft’s great Saratoga heat of
7:19 J just 3? seconds, while it is four
seconds quicker than Lexington’s time
in New Orleans in 1855. Besides this
there was a sweepstake for two-year
olds, dash of one mile, and a purse of
8150, for all ages, heats of three-quar
ters of a mile. The two-year-old event
was won by the bay filly Belle of the
Meade in 1:441, the fastest on record
for the age. The heat race was captured
by Eastern Planet.
BEATING fellowcraft’s TIME.
The association having offered a spe
cial purse of 81,000 to beat Fellowcraft’s
time of 7:19}, four miles, made at Sar
atoga, August 20,1874, there were two
entries—F. B. Harper’s bay colt Ten
Broeck, 4 years, by imported Phaeton,
dam Fanny Holton, and D. J. Crouse’s
bay colt Add, 4 years, by Revolver,dam
Skylight. Each carried 104 pounds.
The betting was about even last night,
but to-day, with a clear sky and good
track before them, the people of Ken
tucky put their money on the horse,
letting strangers look after the time.
In the Bend-off, Add led Ten Broeck
half a length, but soon took second
place, and from then on steadily
dropped behind.
The mile was made in very slow
time, 1:52}. Harper, Ten Broeck’s
owner, stood at the string and waved
his hat to go on. The jockey complied,
and the second mile was made in 1:451
and the third mile in 1:461. At the
commencement of the fourth mile, Add
was a dozen lengths behind. The chest
nut filly Necy Hale was sent in to help
Ten Broeck keep the pace on the last
mile, and running up alongside, the
two galloped together to the quarter
mile, when Ten Broeck shot in front
and was never again behind, but led
the dance to the end. As he came down
4,he stretch, the thousands who had been
