When Proctor Knott won the Futurity I'nele Hob went nearly wild with joy. 1 he leils were at Belle Meed and the reletting was crneral from the bigh-ef to tite lowest on the farm. I kuowed it all tie time," said Uncle Kob in speaking of the eent. I knowed diit dey couldn't nebbee beat dat nil ah 'nuff colt.

An' dey can't beat "im goin' over dat Derby course, neither!" 1 told him what I liuu sta Spokane do at Memphis, but the old man would not hear v( anything better than but favorite. Diua't I raise dat colt?" said be. I knowed him when be war a baby, an' 1 kuowed bis mammy an' his daddy afore hiin. Vo can't v.U me nuitin 'bout no lKder AH eels. Dey can't make dat ole Proctor hots stretth his neck." Such was tlie felling all through the with the exception of Memphis, before tit year's Derby.

We all know the history of the Louisville and Chicago events, for it is a matter of turf history how the Montaua champion trailed the banner of Tennessee in the dust. 1 have, perliaps, gone a little outside the Cass, as we would say in racing rruMice, in relating these Incidents, but have done so to show that in many cases, when horses in future events are considered well nLrft invincible, how often they are disappointed. In faot, the record ot the great event will show that in the majority of eases the favorites have been beaten, and, indeed, this race has always been particularly productive of mirneises.

It is pretty certain that be will for I understand that Mr.

Frontino, the full brother to the great Falsctio, is the next on the list U. catch my eye. Ue did not start last year, but I saw him at Fleetwood in tlie spring, and he certainly waa a grand looking two-yenrld, trifle gruwthy, for a colt of his age, but that will be remedied by tiie extra year.

Ue is wonderfully like Falsetto both In color and conformation. Speaking of Fontino reminds me of some pleasant days passed at Col. Tarlctou place, and of the historical turf associations conaectcti with tins famous Kentucky farm, tor it was from thence tliat FaUetto, Whisper, Blue LJes; and ether old-time cracks went forth to do battle for the classic events. It was here tluit Isaac Murphy, the famous jockey, lirst learned the art of superb horsemanship, and tlie visitor to Fleetwood can see tiie Uitle reoti down uext the stables which he occupied, and hun around tho walls of the houe niauy a weil-vxeeiited canvas pojs tribute to his prowess, Bnt the greoiest curiosity at Fleet-wood probably is old Lnclc KU," who has been training titere for many year He is imite a digtiihed-lookiug old eol-pred and few are better posted on tlie and performance of the horse, tliat raced before ihe war. 1 remember on oue occasion how, whilst watching a couple- ol the youKg--stcri at work on tiie old track at tie farm, I read him a paragraph that hud apiicared in some newvpatn-r about Ahce Garueal, tlie dam of Lexin-lon.

iSpedaL) The excitement wrought by the news froaa Harlan Court House ot the fight between the State militia and band of outlaws is fast abating. Several parties are here this morning who left Harlan yesterday. They are connected with the Harlan fend, and say there has been no light and everything is aa peaceable as has been for some time. In a conversation with a man named Howard, he stated that he was ia the party that went oat to arrest some one, he did not state who; they did not find him and returned unmolested. It is thought that the report ot the fight is without foundation.

It is thought that the soldiers will leave Harlan to-day. A party ef moonshiners reached here to-day from Harlan, who stated that a party left Harlan oa the sixteenth, but they were not after a band ot outlaws, but, from what was finally learned, they were after Wils Howard, who is supposed to be Bear Martin's Fork, getting bp a band to release Jennings, as soon aa the soldiers start with him from Harlan. He has been cleared on one of Lis murder cases, and parties are titere with requisition papers ready to rearrest and take him to Missouri, where be is wanted to answer a charge of murder. If aa attempt ia made by Howard and his party to release Jennings, there will be warfare ia the bloodiest sense; for it is reported that Caps. Gaither has already issued orders to shoot Jennings tho first one.

should saeh aa attempt be made. Anxious fathers aad brothers of the militia from Harrodsburg reached this place thia morning, determined to leave for Harlan at once, but not being able to procure horses for the journey, they patiently awaited some tidings from tiie supposed field of battle. NOTHING! IN IT. A Dispatch Fraoa CapC Taosapsee Denying the Reported Battle. Frankfort, April 1 9.

Special The rumored fight in Harlan appears to have been a work, of fiction. Gem. Hill has jnst received a tolegrum from Caps. Thompson at PlnevUle, stating that four men who had just come from Harlan Court-Hoose reported all serene, and that there had beon no fight. It lias been decided by the Governor and Adjutant General not to send any more troops to Harlan.

The Captains of the Slielbyville and Bowling Green eom-paniea have volunteered their companies lor service if more troops are needed. General Hill thinks the force already there is large enough to answer the pur-pote designed, which waa to act as a guard, and serve aa a rallying point for the citizens. The News At Uarredsharg. Harrodsburg, Kr April i 9. Special.) There are all sort of rumors here as to the trouble in Harlan, and nothing positive can he learned.

The geutleinea who left here last night for the scene of action telegraphed from Pine vide that they could, learn nothing there and part of them had gone on to Harlan Court-llouso.

Amos MeCamphell filed formal complaint yesterday, with the Executive Committee of the Jockey J. StovaL the colored Jockey. The cause of corntlaint, as has been fully stated in the Courier-Jofirhal heretofore, is that Stoval signed a contract last fall to ride tor Mr. MeCara obeli this season. When called upon ta report here lor duty, Stoval failed to re.

ppond. and it has been ascertained that he subsequently signed a contract to ride for G. E. Tompkins. Stoval does not deny having signed the two contracts and his engagement to Tompkins is published in Goodwin's Turf Guide.

Mr. MeCamphell holds the agreement between him and StovaL and it is impossible for Stoval to pet out ef it or to explain away his flagrant violation of the rules of the turf. Stoval waa here a week ago, and called on Mr. McCampbeli with certain propositions foreign to his agreement. Mr.

McCampbeO would not entertain any of these propositions, and Kid Stoval that he must stand to his agreement oe suffer the eoasequeoces. Stoval left last Tuesday night for New York, and appears to have concluded to let the mauer take its own course and trust to luck ai.d come nut all right, It ia doubtful, however, that be waa able to give the matter an intelligent consider lion, as he waa besotted with lioiior all the time be was bere. Tiie Executive Commirwe oi th Jockey Club will take the matter up in a few days, as it is now brought te their aw teution in a formal manner.
