A SHIPWRECK on TERRA FIR-MA.
The eccentric-hie? and whimsicali- i
ties of old salt water captains, from the
days of Comodore Trtnion down
to the present, are well known, and
i iiunureui oi amusing snecucie1? nave
l been told upon the same subject; but
; as w; have never feen ihe following in (
! r.rint. we have been induced to devote
a column o Its recital.
The hero of our story was -an old
hero of both the revolutionary iJ7ast
war o a wU -lJ Ulsored ivard, suf-
fW;J much, and ofieh received
tho
thanks of his count ry. Years and ex
posure having f.naiiy rendered him un-
I seaAvonny. iij orougnt nis water tacKs
! ah ie, arid settled down in a pleasant
part of the country to spend the remain
der of his davs. After so long a resi
dence upon the water, it is not to be 1
supposed that the u , .T.ntleman found
ever thing 'ship-shape ' on land; but
j tt;t, tjiC &5sistance of a couple of eld
i sallor uneof tliem an Irishman, whom
j
"a" UIV"S"- I " nilll, I1U
in a short time made cut to introduce
mans of Avar fashions, so far as practi
cable, upon his premise.
Among bis other eccentricities, he

i less than regular man of-Avar, on a
small scale, completely "igged with
sails, hausers, archers, &c. This he
set upon springs, the. whole confined
upon four large carriage wheels.
Mike, his Irish sailor, was soon let in
to the secret of driving four in hand
and two or three little jaunts were uiade
in the oeighborliooJ with complete suc
cess One fine morning in summer, the
old Commodore invited several ladies
lo take it cruise with him in tho ves
sel lo some springs situated about
twenty miles off. Fearing that some
accident might occur, fhey politely re
fused. II o set forth, in glowing terms
the pleasures of such a cruise, and it
aa as a conAeyance decidedly safer than
any that could be procured, and used
every argumcut to induce the ladies to
take passage, but all to no purpose.
the other sailor to hand sails, &c , the
party got under way nnd set sail for
the springs.
The road for the first ten miles of
the journey was level or slightly as
cending, and part was got over smooth
ly and without accident. Oecasionly
as the road turned to the right or the
left, the old Commodore would sing
'out to Mike to haul or slacken his lar-
j board or starboard braces, as so far had

faster went the horses, .and from brisk
trot they at last got into a canter
Haul taut the fore braces,' said
the Commodore, alluding to the lines
which Avere attached to the leaders.
" Ay, av, sir,' replied Mike, who was
now holding them in with all his
rarght.
Slacken the larboard fore brace
there "humf continued the Commo
dore, as the leaders were approaching
too near the bank of a precipice which
stared at them from the left.
Ay, ay, sir,' said Mike.
'How fast are we going now?" said
the Commodore to the otiier tar.
'About sixitcn knots, sir,1 continued
Jack who was hold ing fast to the little
fori mast to prevent being pitched out,
as the w heels would occasionally hit a
stump or root.
The pace had now become absolutely
terrif.c. Single-trees aad double-trees
were rattling, traces were swinging
about, hchJ-baek-strups were straine-J j
all but to breaking, and still the mad j
stecJj kept on down the declivity. To
the left was a steep and gloomy
precipice, at some points a hundred
feet high; and to run off be re to meet
with such a shipwreck at such a point
would involve the JJcerlain destruc
tion of passengers, horses and crew.
The passengers were alarmed, and even
tly old Ci mmodore, althoug he showed
! no frar oJ appeared perlcctly cool and

old felloe

i Commodore, who was all the while

ing that he -was lceeping the cralt from
going over the steep.
' Ay, ay, s:r,' and down came ihe
sail, rattling and fluituring with the
current of air, raised by the speed with
which they were going. The uuise
freightcned the horses still more, and
down Ul0 went to -a pace faster than
ever.
'Let go the lop sails, Jack,' was the

'Jib there let go aid haul in the

time than it takes us to tell, the jib came !
down on the wheel horses, vvi.o receiv

furiouly than ever. Things now look

No sooner said than done, for before
the words were fairly out of the Com
modore's mouth, Jack hnd pushed a
small anchor from the bow s of the craft.
About fifteen fathoms of rope spun out
with great velocity, when the anchor
caught m a tree by the road side, and
brought them up. It did not bring
them up all standing, however, but all
tumbling; but the sudden jerk sent the
leaders over the precipice, dragging tho
other horses and the novel cralt pas
sengers, baggage and all a distance of
of about thirty feet after ihem. Three

The Kace.- JNo course in this coun
try has ever witnessed a spectacle com
parable to that of yesterday. The num
ber of persons present baffled all com
putation. All agree that I he re were
full twice the number that attended the
great match between Fashion and Bos
ton. The number might be called any
thing; no one thought of estimating it
by any lower figure lhan r hundrod
thousand. As at ihe race between Fa
shion and Boston, the crowd burst into
the enclosed space, creating an -extreme
difficulty in keeping a sufficient widlii
of the track clear for the horses; and
this was affected only by dint of an
hour spent in persuading and forcing
them back, by 'aay number of officers
and five or six men on horseback, in,
eluding Captain Rynders, Country ic-
Clusky, Bill Ford, and a few others.
It was not till half past two that tho
horses could begot off. A great mtny
ladies were present, and some of tho
loveliest of the beauty and fashion of
the city graced the ladies stand.
The track was very heavy from tho
depth of the dry sandy dust, and tho
atmosphere upon it quite stifling. This
circumstance, together with the close
pressure of the crowd upon the narrow
space left to the horses, fully explains
the inferior time made on this occasion
lo that of Fashion's last great race.
Peytona's rider, Barney, wore a
blue jacket; Fashion's rider, Joseph
Lard, sun cf her ownnr, a purple one;
boih wearing white pantaloons.
The two horses seemed in perfect
condition. Peytona is a light sorrel
muie: Fashion a bright che3nut. Tho
superior size end power o! the former
could not fail to strike every eye, and
to afford a significant portent of tho re
sult. Fashion's height is I5J hands;
Peytona's 1G and three inches. Tie
former is the most-completely beautiful
delicate, slender little creature we ha'.e
ever seen; the la'ter combines with her
great size and strength admirable pro
portions also of beauty and grace. It
was that tremendous killing length of
stride of hers, of which so much has
been said, namely, ticenly seven fed,
that did the business. The difference
between the' two in this respect could
be measured by the eye at every jump,
while the liule mare certainly did won
ders in the superior rapidity of her
gathering to counterbalance the hugo
length of space covered at each bound
of her rival. Fashion must Jhavo had
to spring nearly five times to every four
of Peytona.
The first heat was won by Peyton
in 7m. 39i.,tbus savingthe lare amounts
that bad been bet on 7m. 49s. Peytona
bad ihe track, !nd, after a beautiful
start, took ihe lead and kept it all a
round with several beautitu! brushes, co
ming in less than a couple of lengths
ahead. Fashion twice overtook her,
but never succeeded in passing her, be
ing on the contray shaken off with no
apparent difficulty.
Both horses came up to the second
heal as wet as Vol us when she rest
from the waves we had almost sail
as beautiful. The first start was a false
one; on the second trial they got off,
Peytona having a liule tho advantage
of it. The enthusiasm cf tho crowd
rose to the highest pitch when Fash
ion, s purple jacket was seen to gain on
her " illustrious predecessor," till when
about half the first mile she shot ahead;
and, when they passed the judges' stand,
was about a length in advance, and in
possession of the track which had been
Peytona's. A contest, ensued of unsur
passed beauty, the two horses running
neck and neck, with slight variations
either way, for nearly the'whole heat.
Up to the last .quarter it was 41 any
body's heat;'' fill as they came in sight
rA the stand Peytona was a little in ad
vance, and, as they came thundering
on towards the judges' stand, she wa
about a length ahead, which no freedom
of whip and spur on the part of Fash
ion's rider could over come. The time
was 7m. 45.
The respectability of ihe shout which
greeted the victory of the noble Soth
ern mare attested the force with which
the South was present on the ground
Tho Northern sympathy ith our be
fore unmatched little favorite was very
strong and general, and it cannot bo de
nied that her defeat smote heavily on
the hearts of mimy tens of thousands
present to say nothing of its effect on
some thousnds of purses.

of the North has been exposed to this
