THBBE-MINUTE HOBSES. airlimssl'« »l*«korTrollsrs Woo Own sot in .,- I h. rn There is some talk of gettin . up htre a spring meeting of trotting races, but nothing definite is yet known. There are many who would like to see such a meeting. Cnited with the running horses it should not only be a source of pleasure, but probably of profit also. It is suggested that capable parties get together, give our people a first-class entertainment, and not depend upon outsiders for it. Our roads have been in such a ter¬ rible condition of late that very little or no road-riding has been indulged in. The horses, in consequence, hare been champing their oats instead of bits, and their owners are not happy. A few more days like the post two will tomi to make good wheeling, and soon then Grove road and the Reservoir avenues will be filled with pleasure-seekers . some behind fast horses and some be¬ hind those that ought to bo fast and are so "when tied." We have here in Richmond about as ' mtny good teams as it is one's wish to see In any city, even where the population is twice the size of ours. ( There are et least twenty road horses i that can beat three minutes, among which are such good ones as " Lulau,"' a gray mare owned and driven by J, IU Walsh, that can make a mile in -il" look pale ; " Ktiistan," a brown geld- j irg owned and driven by W. C. Ad- ams, that would bc liable to '* blow j his breath "' upon the gray mare at some part of a mile. Business Moy," a brown gelding owned and driven by "Stephen Putney, it as gentle as a lamb, yet when re-nir-1 can make the best of them go fast; »"il there is a yoting gelding owned and driven by Langhorne Putney that ha I a bold wav of going, and can step close Up to 'J;.*.0. .. Kureka" is a large bay gelding owned and drives by P. T. Conrad that can turn b mile sure, when in coaditioo, in 2:45. C. F. F.llison has a nice hay mare that can go a nut la - 50. W. J.'. Mallory has a bay nure that can beat 2:45 ; also, a Lay gelding that ia said to be aMe to beat three minutia. J. 0. Smith bxs a bay mare, 'Sue," that speeds like the wind and can proba¬ bly go a mile in '2:50. Ran. L. Norris has his .. Mast otto " in a bay gelding that can £» fa*t fora mile, with two in the wagon tandem. Mr. J. H. Davis drivel "Bob Rid- Icy," a chestnut geldin.-, that has a good way of stepping, and if appear¬ ances count for anything, should place a mile behind him in '2:51'. J. R.Moaateastle.

Joeaph Lassiter drives "Ophelia.'' a beautiful bay filly that beats three minot, s. Mr. W. M. Parrish drives a black geldirg that no one can go by on the roads unless he is going thc- other way. C.

The next morning a n trills was sounded at 5 o'clock, tbe place was soon astir, and within an hour a coach at Holton, op¬ posite the college, was crowded with a merry party ol' students ott for a day of rest tnd sight-seeing. Day broke bright and balmy ; the roseate advance- guard of the sun in tho east was just beginning to outshine the calm, pale co¬ bol ts of the full moon as she hun? above the western hunton when th- ^special" was coupled on to the " fast mail " and sped away towards Washington city. < »f the sights by the way one nf the most beautiful, ami one whi h some of tbe party had not enjoyed for months, was a country sunrise among the pines of llanover. Could anything be pr. t- tier' Soon came the historic plain and its encircling hills from Hamilton's to Fredericksburg. Professor Harri*. who accompanied the party, hail lieen l an artilleryman tlstrs in 1*»G2, and pointed out the positions of Lee and Burnside and the parts of the line at which the battle ragedginost fiercely. Presently the young men from the u"p- country were gazing with open-eyed ad- j miration at 'he broad expanses of water while the train dashed along the banks of the Potomac or slowly crossed the drawbridges .over its allluent creeks. And last came splendid views from the j slow-moving train of Arliugton, the monument, the White House, and the Capitol. Arriving in Washington at 10.10 o'clock, the party broke up into sec¬ tions. Some went to the Smithsonian, tlio monument, the War anti Navy Departments, the President's reception at 1 P. M.. the Corcoran Art (iallery. Columbian University, and last to the Capitol, others took somewhat the same round, but in the opposite direc¬ tion, others still, intending to stay over another day, reserved some of the best for more time. Others s»t \a the Senate gallery to hear Mr. Everts on the Blair bill, and yet others saw what they could as inclination or accident directed them. It was of course itn- posf-ible in six hours to see anything satisfactorily, and yet we dare to altirm, without any refection upon the learned and laborious faculty of our college, that Itt students baie not learned ?o much on any one day since the fe'*ion opened. More than half the party returned 1 riday night.the rest bo* Saturday. The homeward trip was enlivened by many en amusing ac¬ count of what each had seen. The only accident reported befe' a young gentleman who mi-calculated th- speed of the «.treet-car, stepped oil', came down on the itSBSS,SB4Btlsfwa1 a *-u- ous lesion in tho right kile.. if Un pantaiotuis. Some pins sufliced to re¬ pair the breeches temporarily, but they will never again be "»' good st new." The fatty met nothing but kindness from railroad and Ciovtrnment olliciaU, from old icip-itintances, and from strangers.

haateea,The last of the regular intermediate

examinations at Kichmond College wa

held on Thursday the 1Mb. The next

morning a n trills was sounded at 5o'clock, tbe place was soon astir, andwithin an hour a coach at Holton, op¬posite the college, was crowded with a

merry party ol' students ott for a dayof rest tnd sight-seeing. Day brokebright and balmy ; the roseate advance-guard of the sun in tho east was justbeginning to outshine the calm, pale co¬

bol ts of the full moon as she hun?above the western hunton when th-^special" was coupled on to the" fast mail " and sped away towardsWashington city.

< »f the sights by the way one nf themost beautiful, ami one whi h some oftbe party had not enjoyed for months,was a country sunrise among the pinesof llanover. Could anything be pr. t-tier' Soon came the historic plainand its encircling hills from Hamilton'sto Fredericksburg. Professor Harri*.who accompanied the party, hail lieen

l an artilleryman tlstrs in 1*»G2, andpointed out the positions of Lee andBurnside and the parts of the line atwhich the battle ragedginost fiercely.Presently the young men from the u"p-country were gazing with open-eyed ad-

j miration at 'he broad expanses of waterwhile the train dashed along the banksof the Potomac or slowly crossed thedrawbridges .over its allluent creeks.And last came splendid views from the

j slow-moving train of Arliugton, themonument, the White House, and theCapitol.

Arriving in Washington at 10.10o'clock, the party broke up into sec¬

tions. Some went to the Smithsonian,tlio monument, the War anti NavyDepartments, the President's receptionat 1 P. M.. the Corcoran Art (iallery.Columbian University, and last to theCapitol, others took somewhat thesame round, but in the opposite direc¬tion, others still, intending to stayover another day, reserved some of thebest for more time. Others s»t \a theSenate gallery to hear Mr. Everts on

the Blair bill, and yet others saw whatthey could as inclination or accidentdirected them. It was of course itn-posf-ible in six hours to see anythingsatisfactorily, and yet we dare to altirm,without any refection upon the learnedand laborious faculty of our college,that Itt students baie not learned?o much on any one day since thefe'*ion opened. More than half theparty returned 1 riday night.the restbo* Saturday. The homeward tripwas enlivened by many en amusing ac¬

count of what each had seen. Theonly accident reported befe' a younggentleman who mi-calculated th- speedof the «.treet-car, stepped oil', came

down on the itSBSS,SB4Btlsfwa1 a *-u-
