On Thursday the 2lst inst. an interesting sweepstake race was run over the Little Rock course--two mile heats---iour entries, $250 each. One paying tho forfeit three stallions run, viz: UscAs, by Randolph, owned by r. c. Hasekins q IF. D. Ferguson; ToM FLETCHER, by Stakeholder, owned by T. r.

 1uastaH, and SIR WILLIAM, by Sir Will jam, owned by John Lo,'i,lg. Race won by UNCAss, at two heats. Run in good time though the track was very wet and Inuady- and closely contested by both the other hor- ses. This was one of the most beautiful and interesting races over witnessed in the west ern country--all three horses, the first mile in each heat, passing tine stand nearly t. breast, and the rider of each horse exercising the greatest skill and judgment to ascertain the speed and bottom of tlie other horses.-- The owners of Uneas believing the object of the two other horses to be. to break down Uncas the first heat, or otherwise, if possible, to break the heats, the rider of Uncas was instructed to run behind on the first heat, till the last quarter, and then brush for the heat, ,ohich he did, aud scon the heaf. On the sec- ond neat, 1t wTS apparent hat he same gafnn would be played. Sir William put off under spur, determined to win the heat if possible. Tom Fletcher not to take the heatif Sir Will-

  The rider of Uncas, having the sa1ne irstruc- tions as on the first heat, to run behind tho foremost horse till the last quarter, lay back with Tom Fletcher for better than mile and a half, and was about twenty yards bchind-- made a brush at Sir William, ,and 1T. Fletch- er's rider discovered it was time to try for the heat, let go also and overlook Sir William at the head of the last stretch--Uncas taking the track, and winning the heat with ease by thirty feet,

 The owners of Tom Fletcher and Sir William contend that their horses were not in order; and something has been said uf both horses faInting on the morning of the race, when taken out to air, which was eyi- dently accustomed Or by breathing up their nostrils preparafion ef spirits--without any injury to the horses.

 After tho race, the owner of Tom Fletcli- CT, though beat by both, proposed to run 3d heat against the winning horse, for S500.-- The friends of Uncas were willing to take tho bet, but Uncas had been sent to the stable, (nearly half mile,) his plates were badly sprung, and he could not have been at the track and prepared to run in twenty minutes. They therefore declined letting him run, al- though it was evident he could have won with ease. The owners of Uncas, (ntius TOM proposed, and now propose, to meet the same horses, or any other horse, mare or gelding, now in the Territory, in sweep stake, next October, over the Little Rock course, three mile heats, for $500 or $ Sl0o0 entrance to the rules of the Club--- Three entries or moro to make race.
