--Flora Temple us. Ethan Allen and Mate.--A most interesting and well-contested trot took place on Thursday between these celebrated horses, over the Fashion Course, L. I.; mile heats, best three in five, and was won by the team in three straight heats. Mr. J. W. Hocklomb, part owner of Ethan, drove the team on this occasion, and managed them exceedingly well. He brought out the extraordinary time of 2:19 ¾, which is the best time Flora ever made. The second heat especially was closely contested, the horses coming down the home stretch almost neck to neck. The rate of odds at starting was about 100 to 40 against Flora, and a fair average of spectators were present to witness the struggle. The following is the summary:

Ethan Allen (J. W. Hocklomb) 1 1 1

Flora Temple (J. D. McMann) 2 2 2

Time--2:23; 2:19 ¾; 2:21.
