I— Fun on the Turf I In days gone bye Batesville was a famous resort for those who took pleas ure in the excitement of the race track, but for many a year this sport has been discontinued, and we seldom hear ol even a “quarter race for a small purse or even for fun, plainly showing that the people have degenerated in thi’ part of the country—that is, if yon । would call that degenerating'—in a few shoit years. But the old days are to be revived, । and revived by an exhibition of speed that will startle the sporting world. ■ Friday is the day, and Grnder’s race : tract the place. i General Waggoner, a large stock । raiser near this place, is the owner oi i the imported thoroughbred stallion “Poke Root,” (sired by old "Poke * Root,” dam by yonng " Poke Root” । and so on.) a clean limbed, well mus- < cled stallion, that has showed speed 1 down into the 20’s, but has as yet never trotted a match for money. Dr. D. C. Ewing, one of our citi xens, is the owner of that fine roao mare. •• Lady Applegate,” (sired by Col. Pcete’s famous horse, “Ike Ap- । piegate,”) which has also given many * private exhibitions on the road and has proved herself to be a fast trotter and a sure footer.

Trimble, writing nnder Jane • 28*1, says that Rev. B. Lee “came to I Batesville in 1829.” He is mistaken; ' at least 1 prefer trusting Father Ice’s 1 iecord to his memory. He was li- ' censed to preach the 18th of July, 1828. The following fall he joined the Tennessee Conference and traveled i the ensuing year. Finding himself I without a horse and without money, i having received only 833 00 for his . year’s labor, he was discontinued, at hi* own request, and taught school in । Tennessee. The next fall—lß3o—he , came to Arkansas. Such are the facts; and I took them down just a* Esther । Lee gave them to me. and ho conld i not, under the circumstance*, have । preached in Batesville in December 1829. J no. W. Bus well.
