188 APRIL 24, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
FOOTRACE.—A match was made on Saturday between Jack Mayden and — Kelley of Grass
Valley, to run a footrace over the Glenbrook course for a purse of $250 a side. The day is not yet fixed,
but the race will take place within six weeks.
LEGS BROKEN.—On Saturday a man named John O’Laughlin was brought up from Grass Valley
and lodged in the County Hospital. While out prospecting on Friday he fell into a shaft thirty feet in
depth, and both his legs were broken.

NEVADA, April 22.
EDS. GAZETTE. Seeing my name mentioned in an article headed “Card from one of the
four Frenchmen” and signed “F. G.,” in your issue of to-day, I would thank you to correct the
erroneous statement therein that I am a Frenchman. I do not belong to that nationality. I am a
Swiss by birth, and an American citizen by adoption. R. FININGER.
THE FRENCH IMBROGLIO.—When we innocently mentioned, a few days since, at the instance
of one of the gentleman who marched in the funeral procession on Wednesday last, in the distinctive
body headed by the French flag, in mourning, that all the Frenchmen in the township were in that body
except four, we did not think that we were treading upon anybody’s toes, and giving the signal for a
wordy war through our columns. The gentlemen mentioned as exceptions wished to explain how it
happened that they did not follow the French flag, and we admitted their card, although it contained
an allusion which should not have been made. To that card we have received two angry replies, so
exceptionable in language and tone that we cannot publish them. Private griefs must find vent through
other channels, and private quarrels must seek some other field of redress than our columns. Mr. E. Goy,
who bore the French flag in the funeral procession, informs us that he served with the famous Excelsior
Brigade of New York in the Army of the Potomac, and was wounded while in the service. That is a record
of which any American citizen, whether native-born or adopted, might be justly proud.
THE CIRCUS.—Lee & Ryland’s “Hippozanezaprivoisary”—if anybody knows what that is—
exhibited in this city on Saturday evening to an immense house. The performance came near terminating
with a tragedy not on the bills. While the “young and beautiful Julia Morgan” was being borne swiftly
around the ring on the back of the “fiery, untamed steed,” she fainted, the lashings became loose, and
she fell beneath the horse’s belly, held only by the rope around her middle, but was fortunately rescued
without serious injury.
