"Cha- virac must beat him.” “It is perhaiw not treason to my that I i shall not be bitterly disappointed if he do,” put in Lamotte. “Nor I,” Beuiston added. "He is not I riding for—ns!” But the news of the new element in the race—and it soon spread over the city, as news ever does in public excite ment, none knows how—added fresh aest to tho event. About the camps inquire was universal. Ent no man knew of any comrade likely to risk his neck and reputation, at once, in a start without practice in a race like this. “I’m a patriot of long standing,” re marked our major of Green Perch res taurant knowledge os ko breakfasted at I Victor’s. “My respect for the old flag Is punctuated by an escopet ball and my love for it not dampened by slow promo tion In the (J.

Tho Yankee hadn't a ghost of a show, everybody said, and | for reasons already indicated almost everybody said sotto voce that he was i deuced glad of it! By noon about all New Orleans had turned its face eastward, crossing the main boulevard—Canal street—en route for the old Metairie race course, which | lies some two miles beyond the northern limits of tho city. Great crowds of pe destrians of all classes and both sexes tilled the pavements, and everything that had wheels, from the butcher's wagon and confectioner's cart to the stylish drag or stately family coach, was : passing into the French quarter. Spite of a certain reticence—of a real distaste, or of contempt for the "Yankee ! holiday”—which kept many behind clos ed shutters it was evident that the race was vastly popular, and that the stands would be taxed to fullest measure.

It was the morning of the interna tional race, and the eve of Mardi Gras as well, and the double excitement made New Orleans busy by early dawn. No more balmy and delicious day could be remembered, even among the many delicious ones that glorify late winter in the gulf region. The soft, fleecy haze over sunrise was nature's pledge that noon would be clear, bnt not too warm. The gulf bieeze crept lazily up the river loaded with pilfered sweets of the orange and early jasmines, fan ning away reminders from those stag nant ditche^which make sewerage a sat ire in the Crescent city. At the early restaurants, about hotel lobbies, in the chaffer with intolerant cabmen—even among the working girls hurrying to early tasks—the race was the abeorbing topic of talk. It was a semi-military affair, being under the patronage of the commanding general, though not in his official ca pacity. A noted horseman himself, and a true lover of the sport, he had stepped into the breach left by the failure of the Orleans Jockey club to reorganize. Still, as the race was to be run over the old Metairie course, a small committee of the older turfmen were overseeing its details, perhaps to avoid violation of their track traditions. But they had refused with courteous firmness to act aa stewards of the track. Their spokes man had said: “We go little Intc^/mblic now. most of ns haring lost relatives in the war, and the rest sympathising with the grief of our friends. Our track and our ex perience are heartily at the public's e, general, but o*- inclination* we 1 beg to reserve." So the general was fain to be satisfied: and so he told them. However, be re marked to an adjutant general that he didn't understand thaw Creole fellows, anyhow. And the blunt soldier's state ment was literally true; for commanders understood bad the ot* The tricolor predominated large ly, for the sympathies of the city went with their race, and the count, besides, was a rioted “crack” in gentlemen's races. The l,teniian and British colors, too, were frequently seen: and La Ve ga's green and gold knot was shown on many sides. But the colors of the Union were nowhere to lie found. Few of the crowd knew surely tho truth of the ru mor they had heard: none know the name of the champion of the flag; and even had they, no time bad been given for even the most loyal to procure his colors. Just* before 8 o’clock, however, the omission elsewhere was made more point ed. A landau dashed rapidly up to the stand, followed by a couple of carnages. The commanding general, an aid and several ladies alighted, as the sentries at l!iegates presented arms, and passed into the seats reserved by the committee. The general wore citizen’s dress, but on the front of the Prince Al- i bert, struggling with its buttons across ! liis already burly figure, fluttered a huge knot of red, while and blue. And still longer ones floated from the iwrasols of (he ladies with him. All eyes were fixed on the general’s party aud followed it to its station, but many a pair of lips curled into a smile, jr something more meaning, and many i muttered remark, generally in French, referred to the lonesomeness of the Amer ican rider’s backers. Precisely at 8 o’clock the clear note of i bugle out the air. In an instant it Rilled the thousand tougues buzzing like a world of liees in convention to nominate a queen. A dead hush fell upon the vast throng in stands and jnarter stretch; the Issikmakers stopped short, and the maskers jerked off their false faces to see better. Every eye was turned toward the stable gates, through which emerged a group of riders, goodly to see as they pranced down the stretch. Count de Chavirac kept well in hand j a magnificent blood bay, tall and long ] coupled and clean limbed, as warranted by his pedigree. For L'Empereur's sire bail twice won the Prix do Paris before he was retired to the imperial stables, and his dam had once made a good third on Epsom Downs. A trifle too much daylight allowed under him. but his springy step and the power spoken in his deep, flat flanks promised great speed under pressure. The count's rather pro nounced jockey suit of tricolor satin shone in the sun, and from the rosette on his cap flashed an immense diamond. But there was nothing of the fop about his pose in the saddle, his bridle hand controlling—a trifle needlessly, perhaps —every impulse of the noble brute be neath him. In peculiar contrast Capt. Hoyne-Cecil rode by his side. A low blue rowing shirt displayed the fair skin below the tan on his brawny neck, and its short sleeves showed the play of muscles in arms fair ns a woman’s. Buckskin breeches and riding boots mode up the simple costume, topped only by a black skull cap. His mount was a massive thoroughbred, with keen, small bead, and muscled front and rear like the horses of Achilles, as he tossed a mane like theirs from a neck rather heavy for the fancy of a keen point judge. Hi* chestnut coat was as shining as hia neighbor’s, but the impression he made was rather of stay and good power over the hurdles than of peculiar fleetness on the flat. But France and England, as here rep resented before tho grandchildren of both nations, were u goodly pair to look upon. And the couple following them were little less attractive in their con tract Baron von Schlegcn rode a massive roan, his great weight demanding even a heavier hone than the rider for St George. His broad, bearded face was surmounted by a plumeless leather hel met; a tight hussar jacket and breeches Everett had risen from the general's box and crossed the stretch into the paddock. Leaning on the fence, wrapped in hia long braided overcoat, he carelessly watched the group; but his quick eye ran over every point of man and beast and inventoried their weaknoiseH with the intuition of horsemanship. An old troop captain of Everett's brigade approached his commander at the fence. “ ^ Inch is the dangerous one ^general?” he asked. “The Frenchman is favorite, seven to four; Capt. Cecil second choice.” “The Mexican,” Everett answered, never moving his eyes from the horses. “He rides. Chavirac'd horse is grand: the man will beat him.” “Is it known yet who ridea for ns?" the captain asked. “It was a coned shame no one entered soonen, general. It warrants the sneer of them Creoles tliat all horsemanship followed Jeb Stu art out of the army.” “The challenge is open until 8,” Dale Everett answered quietly. “Lsee Cam eron has Jonathan in the paddock. Would you like to mount him and ride for the First brigade?" “Do you mean it, general?" The old troojier glanced to where tbo sturdy groom could scarce restrain a plunging horse, hidden from muzzle to flank in a light cover. “Would you 1(< me-steer that horse fresh from the fields, over these hurdles and that stiff w ater jump?” “Wliat chance would he hove-against those four, trained for weeks?" Dale asked. “Not a ghost of one with me on his back," the captain answered. “Only your hand could save him a distance.’’ “You old fox!” was the laughing re tort. “You’re sure the home would lose, but try to flatter me! Hang it, Mosely, you're after the brigade adju tant s boots!” And with a laiacli Everett turned away, gave a final, steady look at the group of riders, aud passed behind the weighing stand. Again the bugla sounded clear and shrill as the four contestants turned at the distance flag and galloped abreast by the crowded stands. Then, as if from one impulse in the vast multitude, rang out tlie wild applause. BhnatB, clapping of hands and stamping of feetunade rude accompaniment for tlie mnsk-al pat of dainty gloves and the rustle of waving parasols. Again the applause rang out as the four riders iiassed the general's box with whips at salute, and the grim soldier rose and raised his hat Then checking their horses in mid career Chavirac and Von Sclilegen wheeled and frouted the judges’ stand, dead silence again.falling on the crowd. For tlie third time the bugle uounded. and Col. Campbell, the senior judge, rose and read the challenge and an nounced the conditions of the race: “We, Philipiie Victor, count de Cha virac, staff captain of the army of France, and Heros, baron Von Bchlegen, of the German lancers, as a friendly test of riding, do challeutte all comers, not professionals, to a race of one and one-half miles, over hurdles and water jtuniie, as decided: each entry to ride his own horse: catch weights, no allow ances, and no horse to have a record; the prize to be one lady's nding switch, and no rider to wager upon the resole race to take place over the Metairie track.and iuclosure not later than 8 o'clock on Monday, Feb. 8, 1866, aud entries to be open until that day and hour.” Col. Campbell folded the document and added: “I call the challengers: Capts. Chavirac and Von Schlegen, such are your challenge and conditions?" Both bowed their heads—the German silently, the Frenchman with the arro gant words: “1 made the challenge: I will ride'and win it fairly!" As the challengers turned towards the gate Col. Campbell called out: “Do any riders accept the challenge?” Hoyne-Cecil rode, up answering cheer ily: “I, Herbert Martindale Hoyne-Cecil, captain of her majesty's lifeguards, ac cept all couditions, and ride for En gland!” “And I, Mannel Jesus de la Vega y Cambral, ensign Tentii Mexican bat talion, accept all conditions!” cried the Mexican. And tlie moment after the four rivals were about the scales, where a young quartermaster took their weights, for form's sake only. “Is there any other accepting this challenge? All entries cloee at 3 p.m.,” again called out Col. Campbell. He looked uneasily at his watch; it showed one minute left No answer came, and Chavirac, turn ing to the Creole near him, said: “As I supposed! This Yankee Don Quixote who would ride untrained against me is Punchinello! Voila!” Twenty seconds more of dead rilenoe; then people began to turn their eyes from the judges’ stand. It was evident that the rumor of on American accept ance was false. Brilliant eyes flashed amused glances under long black lashes at the general’s box, where his brilliant ribbons fluttered gnyly, and then their owners, caressing the colors on their parasols, tnrned to their escorts with that pretty little moue that only the Creole woman can make. All this for twenty seconds—time enough, with opportunity,. to win a woman or to lose a world! Then a clear, sonorous voice, like the order to charge, rang oat: "Here!" Round to front the judges rode a lithe, erect figure, in white shell jacket, bine breeches and red sash; a blue cap, and riding boots fitting like gloves and seem ingly as light, completing the dress. The bone he controlled with light hand wae a jetty black, hia ooat shining like satin in the son and hia null head tossing continually, ss though scenting the contest and eager to begin it Rather long limbed for absolute beauty, hi* sixteen-hand height was enhanced by 'll lips was all the acceptance Everett re ceived. As he turned toward the scales the Pierrot wheeled upou his neighbor. "Tiens. Diego!" he said, “our people are only doing themselves justice. By that scar over your pretty nose yon served the Confeds? So did I. Let us give him one good old rebel yell!” The Diego smiled grimly and held out a horny band to the Pierrot. In two seconds the fainons "rebel yell,” started by the two, echoed in its tierce wildness from every quarter of the field, and even around the general on the stand—the same curdling cry that had swung tlie tattered battalions over many an other wise impenetrable breastwork, when The iron clad hoofs clattered back into hell From our barefooted boys: (To be continued.)
