He was down town this alurnooc and went to the T*rratine Club rooms, here he was plajiog peiro. when bis head fell forward on his clwnt. A gentleman niirkvd: “The Senator seem? to feel badly." Mr. Hamlin said “Ido.*’ The *o*n gathered aroncJ him, »nd he was uk> n to a loucg Dr Robinson, who was m the next room, aierdrd him. and afterward Dr. Mason P Pii:lips called m. No pulse was perceptible or half an hour. Finally he recovered ihat and managed to articulate feebly. The d ctor worked ovtr him faithfully, it more strongly. Until about 7 o'clock hi family physician, Dr Mason, who had c llrd, expressed himself quite cor.flJently a t■» h. c hancel of recovery of his patient At that ume russon, hartcs iiaur.in. anu is eife, were als» wrli him. and the r.nrr raid »l»at hi* father had had slighter ii-.v k# of a jiinuar nature before, and he :ivcd be mid recover, It was decided Lngerous to move him, and a bed was j >r Yr mote of this A little later Ik* said, coraplainingly ••Doctor I am very warm.” ••You ere rot as warm as you feel,” was r ply “I am trying to make you more comfortable Bin y u only succeed ic making me very urcomfortable,” sai l Mr. liamHn Y I uederttard, but that is the fi-st step towards making you fee! a gr,’*t deal easier." said the doctor, “and you will soon fesl Us ff.cts.” Hut the x vice president never spoke 4 gain.

Charles Ham liia sdNYd Hamlin, grsndson of the ii vi, president, gath ted around the couch w.'h the doctors who «H 1 r.ot cease until two i»- three minutes later. Mr. Hamlin with evtry breath was utter ing a low moan which brought tears to the eyes of the little group uf club men at the other fnd of the parLr and who had caught the ominous w rds of the attending phy sician.

He entered the club covered with mud from head to foot, and his first breathless inquiry was for his father. When told that in- was dead, the display of .grief was per fectly overwhelming, and it w as difficult to console him. Dr Mascn, when asked about the death, said that Mr. Hamlin had always suffered from a weak heart, but he knew of no rea son why this fatal atta> k should have come upon him. I; is a somewhat striking fact that Mr. Hamlin has entertained for some time a preinjnitbn of death. When he spoke at Norombega Hall a month ago. at the Mer chants* week reception, he said that it was p-obably the last week that his voice would oe beard there and his words proved pro phetic.

As to his early life and the preparatory stages for bis conspicuous and singular public career, very little is recorded. He gathered a wide fund of Information, was manifestly well educated, and his training was qpple for the career of a successful statesman He studied law and was admitted to the bar, when 24 years old, in 1833, He at once became an active member of the Democratic party, and his service# were early and liberally rewarded. He was not long con fined to adnbioa* law practice, bat found his sphere of life enlarged by political positions. However, be carried on his law practice until 1818, when the pressure of the public service led him to renounce it 1 n 1>3»J he was elected to the Legislature, sr. J he at once took such a prominent and influential position to become tha leader of his party on the ll *>r. The next year he was chosen speaker and was twice re-elected bolding the position for three years. Even then, in h s political childhood. Mr. Hamlin manifested those characteristics which made him so prominent iu later times. In lhiJ the Democratic party sent him to Congress and he was re-elected in 1844. Nothing was too good for him iu Maine,and in 184* he wei t to the United States Senate to fill a vacancy. Three years later ha was sent to the Senate for a fu'l term by the Democrats. Socn after this election to the Senate for ■ix years, there was precipitated upon the country the great political battle between freedom an! slavery, which was the precur sor and assurance of the deadlier cot fl.cl at arms soon to ccrua. In both of these strug gles Mr. Hamlin was to bear a part. There were illustrious Democrats who viewed with alarm the audacious encroach ments of the si*ve power, and win were determined cot to be whipped into the party traces in truckling subserviency to th*> southern aristocracy. There was a notable group of these Democrats in the early fifties. With Hannibal ll*mhn stood such men as Salmon P. ('base. Jehu 1* Hale, Preston King. John M. Niles, David Wiimot, David K. Carter and .John Went worh. When Mr. Hanil;n entered tue Senate, be bad hot work on habd at home. He was a Democrat, but not an ultra pro*slavery Democrat. &i d he was fighting the slavery element at home and at Washington. It was just here that Hannibal Ilamlin began to drift from his political moorings. He got light earlier than most men of his time and tits. He was possessed of political sagaci ty in a remarkable degree, a*d he saw ins course away ahead of his sailing. There as a limit to even Democratic endurance wi»h some men, and that limit was passed in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Hannibal JIamii: was thenceforth no longer a Democrat as Jefferson Davis and Roger Taney and James Buchanan defined Dem ocracy. In 1850 he left the party, and was one of the oust conspicuous and important leaders in the formation of the new Republican parly. In that same year he entered the political arena at hime in an encounter with his old supporters as the candidate of ihe Republicans for Governor. He struck so hard that he demoralized the Democracy of Maine and got elected. Then the Re publicans rc elected him to the l oited States Senate, and lu resigned the office of Governor His position at ihis time was most promising and enviable, and his career had been an urqualified and pronounced success. The momenta* presidential election of I8b0 was approaching, and as it was gener ally t xpected that New England would not get the presidential, but would get the vice presidenlial candidate, th«*re was no one more talk* d of for Vice President than the popular and energetic senator from the Pino Trt e State. In 185b Fremont was defeated because tha right man was not nominated for Vice President. The convention of 18b0 made no such mistake. No better man in all the country could have been selected and the judgement and enthusiasm of tliat uipmurable convention found its climsx when Hannibal Hamlin was placed on the ticket with Mr. Lincoln. The West was satisfied and the Fas', was more than grati fl d. In the stirriug and desperate cam paign which followed !b* nominations, Mr. Hamlin b'>re his full part and he was ore of the efficient champions of that c»u*e which was so soon to triumph Through out the East he stood for the ticket. Mr. Lincoln was well known at the West hut in New Englaid he was not then very much appreciated, so that Mr. Hamlin's name was a tower of strength and he aroused the enthusiasm of the masses and secured thousands of votes for the republican can didates After the election and the tri umph Mr. Hamlin was much consulted as to the policy cf the now dominant party. The career of Vice-President Hamlin in the administration of President Lincoln was of the most useful, pronounced and happiest character. As a presiding officer of the Senate he stands almost unexcelled and his record is most honorable. Soon afterjhis election as Vice President in 18bn. Mr. Hamlin, by invitation, met President-elect Lincoln at Chicago. When the two men met, entirely unattended, Mr. Lincoln asked as be extended his hand: “Have we ever been introduced to each other, Mr. HamlinT “I think not,” was the reply. ’•That is my impression" said Mr. Lin coln, “but I remember once hearing you make a speech in the Senate—a speech that I was parti mlarly struck with, for the reason that it filled chock up with the very best kind of anti-slavery doctrine Well, that is singular, replied Mr. Hamlin, “for my first recollection of you, Mr Lincoln, is cf hearing you make a speech in the House—a speech so full of good hutnor and sharp points that I was convulsed with laughter The friendship between Lincoln and Hamlin, begun at this meeting, continued to be of the most cordial character during the four years of the war. and up to the day of his death Mr. Hamlin always spoke of the martyred President with a degreejof reverence and affection tbit was extremely lunching to all who heard him As a statesman his influence in tin crisis of the government was of the highest order and was highly tfBeient. A* an eminent politician of the Republican party he ma terially aided to dignify the organ zation and to strengthen its hold on the masses of the intelligent Totv® of the loyal North. He was aggressive, unfaltering an! confi dent in his support of the war for the In Ithe vice-presidency excited an animated contest. There wa« no doubt about the re nomination nf Mr. Lincoln, bnt there was a sentiment, which becune pre dominant, that the war Democrats ought to be reorganized on the Republican national ticket. The nomination of Andrew John son was felt by many of Mr. Hamlin's tr ends to be an injustice to him, but it was not in derogation of Mr. Hamlin, but in appreciation of an emergency that the ;>arty acted. I" did not hurt Mr. Hamlin, and he did not sulk, but cordially supported the ticket Mr. Hamlin's long and honor able record was fully appreciated j So n after his accession n thapresidency I Andrew Johnson induced Mr. Hamlin, with whom be had been on terms of personal intimacy in Congress, toaccep: the office cf collector cf the pert of Boston, but as soon as Mr. Htmlin discovered the tendency of i -Johnson's policy, be made haste, with that strict adherence to principle which always msrked his political career, to separate him* j si If from the administration by resigning the office. He was appointed in 1865 and held the office but a few months. It was urged upon bim that he could maintain bis official position without any degree compromising his principles, bat Ins steady reply to earnest friends who pre sented this new was that he was an old fashioned man in his conception of public duty, and he would consent to hold a political office under a president from whose policy he radically dissented. Mr. Hamlin’s course wss highly applauded by j ihe mass of Republicans throughout the country, and especially by bis old cocsti tuerts in Maine. Mr. Hamlin eujoyed the distinction of being a veteran of the war, and he was an honored member of ihe Q. A. R Mr. Hamlin's military service was for 100 days in connection with the etner gency garrison of Kitfeery. Me.

The people here male preparations for a big demonstration today, but the rain which prevailed in the earlier part of the day, interfered to some extent with the success of the occasion. Fcr a long time this placs has seemed to be on the decline. After the railroad had been extended to Dexter in 1868, the busi ness of the town began to decline, real estate naturally depreciated in value, and there was r Kyron 1‘orUr, Prc-dji-m of the I*ay, amt In vited Gu'-nt-*.

At the site of the mill to be erected by the Newport Manufacturing Co., Rev. Char lea Mains offered a ferv. at prayer, after which the president of the carpora lion, lion. Elliot Walker, called upon Charles Sawyer, Esq to break ground for the new enterprise, which he did with the vigor lint marks all his movements. Then the prcceseion marched to the site -f the Condensed M‘ik Co.’s establishment, where Rev. J. W. Webster c flared prayer, followed by brief remarks by Mr. Thomas 1*. Boole, treasurer, who ib“n proceeded to deposit under the corner stone a tin case containing several docu ments relating to the enterprise, after which the stone was put in its place, while the na ional colon were run up amid the tumultuous t lieers of the multitude and the roaring of the cannon, which had also sent forth its thunder when the procession started and again when the ground was bro ken for the woolen mill. The line of march was next to Mendean ball, the interior of which had been taste fully decorated with the national colors and appropriate mottces. All the seats were quickly filled and the standing room occu pied. The first speaker was Hon. Seth L. Milliken of Belfast, who was followed by Hon. W. T. Haines of Water Tille, Hon. I. C. Libby, Mr T. I*. B>ole and others, with music interspersed. The speeches were all patriotic and prac tical and were received with much enthusi asm. On the whole the celebration today, though, as has been remarked, not what it woullhave been with favorable weather, is yet very far from being a failure. The streets and principal buildings have been profusely decorated by the use of about one hundred large tlsgs. provided for the occasion by Mr. Boole, and at the junction of Main street with thst upon which the factory is to be built, a large arch has been erected, with the words, "Milk of 4000 ows Wanted" conspicuous upon it, while upon the outside of a house close by ilore was the likeness of a Jersey cow, skillfu'ly orked in evergreen, and labelled Aroostook This was done by I>r.

The features were Firher’s pitch ing pud batting, Donnell's catching.

It w*i commenced a yesr ago last June, and (he work was done oy Smith A Clark. The brick work is thought to be thicker than that of any other vault in the country,being 2b inches in thickness Inside this there are about eight inches of alternate layers of iron and steel and air spaces. On# layer of this steel is so hard that no drill has the •lightest iffect upon it One door of the vault has Hi bolts and th« outer door has 20 operated by three hronurnster clocks work ing automatically.

The death of Kx-V ice President Ham lin, amid the joynu* celebration of the nttion'A natal day, in his home city of Bang or. removes one of the mo*t dDtin-| gui*hed of American citizens. It will fill the whole nation with a sense of bereavement, for he early outgrew Jhe narrow confines of his own beloved State, to win enduring fame in the arena of 1 national affairs. Ills career is an inspir ation to American citizenship He wu pre-eminently a seif-mude man From a humble beginning in life lie made his way. by his own abilities and force of character, to the vice-presidency of the nation. lie served his native state with conspicuous faithfulness and ability in the legislature of Maine, in the gubernatorial chair, in the national House of Hepresent atives, and in the l ulled States N imtc He was always proud of Maine, and it i is needless to say that Maine was always proud of him. Mr. Hamlin was emphatically a man of the people. His wonderful popular ity with the great masses of his country men was due to the fact that he was always in cordial touch with them, and ever had their interests deeply at heart II- was a man of rugged integrity. During his long public career there was never for a moment a single suspicion of taint upon hi* fair name. He was held in universal confidence and esteem While the sorrow at hi* sudden death will be national, it will come home with peculiar sadness to the people of Maine. They have ever honored him, and his career as a statesman has been, and will ever la’, a source of deep pride to them. Mr. Hamlin was always a man of fru gal and temperate habits and it was doubtless this fact that enabled him to reach a ripe and healthy old age which has been attained by few of our great public men. He died, as did John Ad ams and Thomas Jefferson, fuil of years and honors, in the full possession of hi* faculties up to a very short time of Ids I r death, surrounded by family and friends, f on the glad anniversary of the birth of 1 the nation to whose service the ben t year- of bis long and honorable career r had been devoted. It was certainly a 0 fitting close for such a life. The mem- 11 ory of it can never die. It is a cherished part of our national history and will la* held in lasting honor with I the lives of the other eminent men whose public services have helped to place our country in the van of nations. Prince George of Greece is Incoming a sort of royal Hon. Still wearing the honors achieved In defense of the Czar wltcli In Japan, he Is reported to be turning his attention to a flairs of prac tical importance. Eschewing baccarat, betting, and other royal amusements lie is studying our naval and coast defenses with the evident purpose to make the information thus acquired of use to him in his future career as a naval officer. The i Tilnese government has a some what summary way of disposing of rioters. Twenty rive of the ringleaders of tiie trouble at NTchu have been be headed. And at last accounts some thirty more heads were awaiting the basket. If this kind of justice is kept oa top. the raiding of foreign missions will soon cease to be a popular sport in that country.

The officers of the New York Life In surance Company have directed their at torney to sue the New Tork Times for •1,000,000 for its articles about the com pany. They will do well also to disprove the charges that that journal makes with ■o much detail and persistency. Calviu S. Brice is apparently becoming alarmed at the Democratic outlook and with frantic vehemence urges the imme diate formation of Democratic clubs all over the country. Calvin has a great nose for defeat, aud by dint of practice ia able to scent it afar off. Iowa Republicans gave the McKinley tariff bill a cordial endorsement.

Two great facts stand out in mid relief as complete answer to the as ertionsthat the treasury has no cash at hand and that the nation is vir aaliy bankrupt. The surplus In he treasury Is 8153,893,808. The otal cash in the treasury is |7 l5.34Uk751.fi3. The treasury has ample uoney for current needs, and ample noney for future contingencies.

The Industrial Journal learnt that a idely known New England gentleman, ho it a regular summer visitor at a popu ir Maine seashore retort ar.d who in the lit has given considerable attention to perfecting of an invention of his the line of tide and wave motors, has ecently arranged his cylindrical wheel* as multiple wind motor to pump water into levated reservoirs.

As all lie blades are arranged upon the periphery lieir power even in a light breeze would be ery great. Qui‘e extensive changes and improve jents in the interior of the Congregational hurch at Foxcroft have been decided tpm nd work will begin as soon as arrange aents can be made. Another great gun maker is a Maine nan. This gentleman is Mr. John Haniil on Brown, who w*s born in a Waldo x-unty town, tbe inventor of the segmental tire wound cannon that bear* his name, or the trial of which CongTess hat lately ipproprxated #10,000.

Inevitably there wilt be a large -leve.op iueot of the ex per* t^ade under f*v_-rsb'e and equitable conditions of exchange. For a lor peri id Southern countries have betn allowed to receive as gratuities commercial privilege* of tremendous ruagmiule The margin between what the United States has bought and what it has sold in exchange was so broad that reciprocity has followed a* soon as it was demanded with icflexib'e purpose and diplomatic tact. Exporters and manufacturers will now have a conspicuous opportunity for showing what they can do. The bulk of the manufactures required in Southern markets are those which are most lightly protected in the United States, and for which free raw materials are available. Cottons, boots and shoes and manufactures of rubber, leather, hide*, paper, glass and wood are the chief staples of iniporation m Southern markets; and these can be pro duced in the United States as cheaply as in Europe. liven American iron and steel man ufactures without free raw material are already displacing European importations wherever intelligently and energetically introduced in the South. Other manufact ures, like woolens, blankets, carpels, upholstered furniture, felts, heavy cloth and linens, in which the United States is less able at present to compete with for eign goods, are not those which are imported in large quantity in 8pani«h America. When doctrinaire free traders assert that free raw materials are necessary before the I'cited States can take advantage of reci procity treaties to enlarge its export trade in tua South they virtually concede the prac ticability of obtaining at once a large share of this commerce. At least 75 per cent, of the imported manufactures of that quar ter of the world represents manufac tures which practically have free r*w rnateiial* already. The American tariff is not an obstacle to the development of the xport trade. It is ignorance of the require ments of Southern markets and of the con di’ions of successful competition that is largely at fault. The reciprocity policy, by directing the attention of merchants and exporters to markets now gradually opening to them, will displace ignorance with intel ligenee, listless inaction with mercantile energy. _ A Male* Qlrl Abroad. Editors of the Kennebec Journal: We wish first of all to express our appre ciation of the Journal Whenever atopy reaches us in our wanderings we are sure to find much of national and world wide interest, not to mention local and State new* in Its columns. It always has a good word for Maine. We are glad to hear her praised. You cannot sav too much. We have been deeply interested in her ballot reform, her appropriation for the Colum bian Exposition, (let Maine be grandly represented there') h?r proposed new railroads, Maine's greatest need to lay is railroads and most of all in her revival of temperance feeling. Out side of Maine we find drunken men every where. We dodge them as they stagger through the -“reels. We see them sitting on doorsteps, hanging over picket fences and lying unconscious by the roadside. We have walked along streets, where nearly every second door was screened, and real “Wines, Ales, Liquors, etc." We some times fall into conversation, somewhat as follows, with a person who would be only too glad to see temperance overthrown: “Your Maine law is a failure." You are entirely mi«takened sir. “Do you mean to *ay that liquor is not sold in Maine?” I mean to say that the average for every person for all purposes is leas than three cents per year. Well. I know something of human nature and as long as it is made it will be consumed.” But it is not made in Maine. I don't want to live there (Aside) We do not want vou to Well don’t you have license?” No sir! It must make a great difference in your taxes." You are quite right. It docs Instead of allowing a few men to pay large sums into our treasury for the privilege of making paupers, criminals and idiots of our young men we bring them up to be honest industrious sober citizens, honored throughout the land and well able and will ingto pay all taxes to support our law and noble institutions. “Well it is a small State and doe# not amount to much." Why. my dear sir, it is nearly as large as all the rest of New England “Oh! I was think ing of Rhode Island! Well business is aiways dull where iiquor is not sold." But Maine is booming. (In triumph) “Well ills a Democratic State." No Sir. (In despair) “Well I don't know much about Maine." Aside) We agree with vou per fectly.

June 26. read Batlooa for Animals. A correspondent of the Rural New j Porker made the following queries of ts editor, regarding the best feed for a j norse and cow, viz: 1. What is the proper ration for an j >rdinarv family horse of about 1100 roundsBoth the hay and grain are to >e purchased in the open market at cur •ent prices. 2 What is the proper 'ation for a grade cow having very little lanturage? fhe cow is kept for profit, i he bulk of the milk, cream and butter s used in the family.” The answer- embody the best results >f science and practice in preparing a ’eed ration which for cheapness aud good •fleets shall be as near perfect ajpos-i >ly and they are de-erving of careful r.udy: 1 A horse of 1100 pounds live weight •■quires for performing ordinary work a laily ration equal to 22 1-2 pounds of Iry food For light work this may be •educed 1 1-2 pounds, aud for hard w..rk hould be increased to 25 1-2 pound?. k$ ordinary hay and grain contains about 5 per cent of water, it is easy to cal :ulate the additional weight of the fof the food will go as far as 25 1 2 •ounds given whole. A good ration for m ordinary family horse would be 15 >ounds of hay and 12 to 1« pounds of jraiu or 11 pounds of oats and corn nixed. There is very little choice in the election of grains for horses, as the narket prices are always about equiva ent to the feeding value. But whatever Utterance there is, is generally in favor •f corn, which, on account of its large iupply, is usually the cheapest grain. for instance, just now corn sells for 67 •ent> per bushel and oats at 54; the corn s equal to §1 25 per 100 pounds, ind oats to nearly §1.75, while the ■omparative feeding value of corn s §111 per 100 pounds Mtlf oats at >8 cents per 100 Bran may therefore >e substituted for oats in many cases with profit, its feeding value bring §1.03 per 100 pounds 2. The method of feed ng a cow depends partly upon the local ,ty. which may afford conveniences for procuring cheap foods. If pasture is not sufficient to afford enough bulky matter to fill the stomach, aud brewer's grains can be proc ured, they are a very excellent aud cheap food, but should De used fresh and sweet. Gluten or glucose meal is another excellent food which is often to be procured for much less money than corn meal. In general, the best food for 1 family cow is corn meal and clover lay; with half enough pasture, six or *ight pounds of hay and five or six pounds of tine corn meal per day would le sufficient for an 800 pound cow. If 1 t is possible to grow some sweet corn 0 be cut green for feeding, that would >e better than hay, if it is out when the »ars are in cooking condition. As a rule, rood clover hay and corn meal will give •icher milk than any other food except 1 good pasture. Tbt Statistics ol Ag Icultuia.

THE RACES. Gfod ud Exciting Trotting it tbe Cipitil Drixisg Put TbeCrowd Tans Oit Van udin imply Repaid Ja y Moat Addad to Long List of Boctoafnl Bicn. The popularity of Capitol Driving Park was well attested*by the crowds which throng# u at the race* on Saturday de spite the rainy tirat-o n and the very as certain ondition of affairs, tven as La*e as 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when it was not •ore that races would take place on account of tbe condition of tbe track from the fore noon rains. A imall attendance waa pres ent as early ae 1 «0 P. M when a shower occurred which almost rendered it certain that no racing would take place; and, in fact, word got out all o»«r the city and #r»n to flalloweil ami Gardiner, that the races had been declared off This an nouncement, however, was premature aid did not come from the management; but tie effect was to keep many people away from the track 'luring the early pan of the afternoon, and until authority went oat that the race* would go on. Tbit uncer tainly. and a sucewaaioa of light sprinkle* between 2 nod 30 o'clock delayed the calliog of the first race. The crowj began to increase m numbers, tbe carriages to pour on, and finally came tbe inspiring notes of the band, somewhat late, which had a good effect. Th track was in very good condition, the rain bad not injured it, tod it had been brushed just enough to dry it f If well Drivers said there was one soft place at the upper turn on th* back rtretcb, but it was upon the whole in bet ter condition than it was on Friday a* all horsemen know the Augusta track will stand considerable ram, as it dries off rap idly At half past three tbe sun cam* out bright for half an hour but the afternoon was, upon the whole, cool and comforta Me with an overcast sky that was much more agreeable than a hot snn and clouds of dust The grand stand was completely filled during the afternoon and the number of carriages upon the park was large. There were probably more than a thousand people upon tbe ground and had the weather of the morning been pleasant the park would have contained the largest •ssemhlag in Its history, thus show mg that with favorable weather the people of Central Maine are sure to turn out to the Augusta races The people on the park Maturday were largely from the country town* who may be depended upon to an swer largely to the invitation of the direc tors of the park whenever they arrange any racing entertainment for the people and give the notice when they occur. 'Dll' reputation of the park management for providing good race* and for square d»a mg in all things is first class and is sure to he maintained. No better guarantee of success am 1 the public satisfaction is needed The Three Minute Claaa. The first race called was for the three minute horses and it was a quarter to 3 when Dr. I*i. second. Jack thin! and Watchmaker outside. After much scoring the word was given, Jack taking the lead at once and getting the pole on the first turn; Sidney breaking badly, and Charles D who started well, falling to the rear. Before making tbe first qu* ter Jack acted !>ad!v, Watchmaker goir g to the lead, and diaries D who had gained from his br*-ak. taking second place. Passing tbe half-mile Watchmaker d d some good |usre trotting, and leading the field with Charles D. still keeping second, Sidney (bird and Jack m the rear. In this position the heat was finished. At the corn men cement of the second heat there was a great deal of scoring, the blame for which seemed to he mostly charged to Jsrk who acted badly Ins Inver, however appearing to do the best he could to keep him in place, .lack still persisted in keep ing his white nose well up in the air and waa hard on the bit. Finally after five or •it score* the colts got away Jack breaking at the word go" and running to the pole, which fie t^ok from Watchmaker at the tower turn but the latter gained on him despit* hia running and both passed the quarter pole side by side in 4 second*. Sidney and Charles D. some ways in the rear in th* order named Jack broke four limes in this heat, in consequence of which ha came under the wire second, ar close upon Watchmaker, with Sidney third, trotting well, and Charles D last At the commencement of th* third heat only three horse# ame out, .lack having been drawn Watchmaker led to the quarter pole with Sidney second and Charles D., who did some running, third. .lust be lond the quarter Charles D. passed Sidney, leaving him well behind, with Watchmaker speeding It off far ahead, and in this position the horses passed the last quarter when Charles D rapidly gained on ins leader and 1 cam* under Die wire only a lengh behind I Him with Sidney far to the rear.

At tbe horse• in tbe 2 29 clast did jict appear, an cxhibttioa race between Hector and Clevelaad Girl, beet two in three, was arranged in its place. These two horses are well matched as to speed, and thesr drivers both meant business. Cleveland Girl is owned by Charles Miliiken of tin acd it handled by Fred Tilton. Hhe has a record of 2 34 3 4 and can go a quar ter at 2 20 Hector it understood to be owned by Thomas Himpacn and E. G Baker of Newcastle, and was driven b> Lon McDonald of Pittston. We believe he has a record of 2 33 1 2. In tbe flrs heat Hector had the pole and the horse* went to business without any waste of tim* in scoring- Hector led for tbe first half mile, with the bay mare close upon him. both trotting handsomely. At the thre* quarter end on the last turn Fred tried ban? to put the Girl ahead. It looked for a in •tant as though he would succeed in doing it but the outre broke in Ihe attempt 8n» lost little, however, and tried hard for fir* place dawn the home stretch, but it was no use, although she was not mare than three lengths behind Hector at the wire. Bolt Dusee came down home at a gait. Hector was up for a second at the wore on the second heat and it appeared a? though Fred would send the Girl to th» lead, but she didn't get there, for Hector was on his feet in an instant spinning round on the back side and there was som» splendid trotting between them; steady square and business like. Again on tbe back side of the track the Girl was pushed for the first place hut Fred didn't succeed in his plans and by the time the last turn was made Lon saw he was to nave the heal bis own way j bo slackened up a little in let the bay mare under the wire a length behind him. Generally a contest between two horses, only, is liable to be dull, but it this case it w*s far from that. The twi were closely mat hed as to speed, they di some fire trotting and both heats were full of interest. Appended is tiie HUMMAKY. 8a as Dav am.

This is much easier said than J d me. however A young mao goe» to work a* a groom, we will say. at Pieasanton or j»*ln Alto. lie attracts tic* attention of the i iie*d trainer who gives him a chance to dr, ve three or four untried hors as. If he does well with them, he i* promoted to be as asti-tiiit driver and has a comfortable h me with a well spread table and good •dr. ping tarter*, which he can retain as lor g as he behaves himself and dot a bit work proper'y. Men like Goldsmith, Mar vin and Starr, arc not fond of making changes except for cause; and as these new gi nets have th. if wages paid fl.-m reg I marly on the first day ot every month, they do i.i.t feel much line having steady em ploy raent for an uncertainty. Therefore j they decline going cut and taking their j chine* s of getting a stable of horses owned (hymen who are not breeders: and who have, let us add, no further iuterert in any horse b vend tile money he can win during I the four or five months’ duration of the cir cuit in who h that hors** may have engage ments.

The only way that we can see for ereat icg an increase of drivers is for trotting I ami" ia.i >r>8 to give oue or two purs at each meeting, conditioned in favor of this i hi h>rtu u irei-ogniz d element.

In former days, purses w* re given for I horses that had not trotted for money, but j the progress of trotting has been so rapid and so great, that tbe “green horse” purses are side tracked forever and are now heard inf only at the imallest ar.d most obscure country fairs. But we never beard the equity of giving such purses called in ques tion and, if it was just and fair to bestow awards of public money upon untried horses, it must be equally fair and proper to give similar sums of money towards the promotion and elevation of men who are un ried as drivers. Of course, such a step would meet with general disapproval from old trainers ami drivers of already recogniz’d ability, no*, so much that they fear competition from these new- graduates a* that they deem them j spoiled for future service in a subordinate capacity. They evidently think that a good groom has been spoiled in the effort to make a poor trainer and, therefore, they are likely i to throw cold water on the proposition, i There is need of more trainers and drivers, hiwever, and »omethirg should be done to bring th? supply up to the present demand.

Should this iheory te correct it s evident we are on the eve of witnessing one of the most inter-fling geographical changes that has take n place on tb s continent. The increase in urea of the gulf will be of small imp rtanec in itself, compared with tbe groat modification in climate which this inland sea would e use.

This done, the clevi cow and her companions ate the frn and then she went to another tree an shook that, and so ou. The same cow di nil t he shaking, and the funny thing wi that she never attempted to shake an ol stiff tree, but always selected a young oi that would shake easily. The Life of Submarine fable*. A hard and fast law as to the life of cables cannot Is- laid down, for the duratio of the sheathing wires is governed by rnor than one clement. The quality of the ga vanizing, the presence or absence of sue protection as compound tapes, or herni and the physical and chemical nature the liottom, are considerations which mus lie taken into account. Submarine caole may have a life of more than ten yean They can lie successfully repaired at even considerably greater age. There are not in existence and in working order ahou 44,000 knots of cable**, having a lifeof fifiee years and over; of this amount some 2f,(#j knots are twenty years (and over) of agt There are several instances of cables not working over twenty-live years old, bu these are principally linen of nniraportan lengths, and lying in shallow water. Th cables we have cited, says The Kiectricn Review, are laid in nil portions of th globe, and submerged in all sorts of depth* and ulthough the companies owning then have spent, and are prepared to expend considerable sums in repairs, we do no think that the complete renewal of ear section every ten years has entered int their calculation. Present ex perience wonl lead us to allot to submarine cables lai sheep. This i_1d*W *KN wty BithUa'a Aralea i*l«.
