Lospon, June 19.— ittle idea can be had of the excitement in Fleet street and the city about the O'Donnell scene in Parlia- gent. The press messengers spread the romor that the Irish members were in rebellion and in deadly con- fict with the Government.

Madame Nilsson’s proposed journey to America this year is abandoned. Negotia- tions with Mr. Mapleson are suspended, and Madame Nilsson has no intention to renew them. She fully intended and Rreatly desired to revisit America, and regrets herinability to arrange Satisfactory terms. The difficulty arises not from the terms but from Mr. Mapleson’s inability or unwillingness to give asufficient guarantee. MR. MAPLESON’S TROUBLES THICKEN. Mile. Nevada, though winni such suc- cess as nay be teasonably expected, fails to “draw,” and remains unpaid. Candidus, the American tenor, though ex- tremely successful, declares it impossible to continge, though bound to Mapleson by a two years’ engagement. He cancels the con- tracf, agreeing to forego all existing claims. Nilsson’s present engagement expires next week, and she refuses to renew it. _ The date of Mme. Gerster’s reappearance is still uncertain. Mr. Mapleson, neverthe- Jess, continues to appeal to the public with unabated courage. He produces Verdi's “Fazra del Destino” to-night for the first ime. auarie Louise Swift will make her début. Campanini, Trebelli, and other leading mem- bers are adhering to their leader’s fortunes, although he has bad houses on most nights. Covent Garden does better. Sembrich appears to be a brilliant success. American critics, studying Richter, declare heisagreatly overrated conductor. They affirm that his concerts, regarded here as su- erior to anything Known, would rank in ew York quite second rate. THE DRAMA. At Sarah Bernhardt’s benefit on Wednes- day afternoon she played for the first time in London Posthumia in“ Rome Vaincue,” a blind woman of 90, and also as Jean Marie. Posthumia produced au extraordinary sensation, revealing the range of the artist’s powers and the direction of her tragic genius. Itis reported that Bernhardt’s case with the Comedié Francaise wil! certainty be un- favorable, and she must expect an award of damages of not less than $30,000.

The musical public are invited to speed the parting guest, Mr. Sims Reeves, and welcome the coming one, Mr. Herbert. Reeves, his son.

The presence of the King of Greece increased the number of festivities. More neuees are open, and there are more balls and inners.

Earl Gran- ville is reported as saying that he hes met no Minister with whom business is more agree- ably, promplty, and thoroughly transacted. THE PUBLIC MIND DEPRESSED. The results of last week’s work in West- minster were quite disheartening to all well-wishers of the Liberal Govern- ment. Blunder has __ followed blunder, and experienced politicians shake their heads when the future of the Gladstone Ministry is discussed. So much was ex- pected from the new Government with the phenomenal majority and so slight is the prospect of progressive legislation, or, indeed, of any legislation whatever this session, that undue depression has taken possession of the public mind, and men begin to say that something more than enius is needed in constructing a Cabinet. r. Gladstone’s was considered strong be- cause those composing it were. known to have ability an to enjoy the confidence of the sections of Lib- eralism they were chosen to represent, For strictly defensive purposes it was a splendid combination; but time has shown that it lacks the unity of purpose necessary for CARRYING OUT GREAT REFORMS. Before the Ministry is a choice of evils. It cannot remain stationary, as demands for reform are pressing, and cannot advance, be- cause the men atthe helm are not agreed among themselves as to what course the ship of State should take. Meanwhile the coun- try is looking on amazed, asking if these be the pilots who ‘are to take the ship into safe arichorage. Among the English mem- bers there are loud complaints that the Irish business is occupying the attention of Parliament to the exclusion of Imperial affairs. The Irish members replied to Temonstrances of this nature on_ Fri- day by moving to refer the Relief pill to a committee composed _ of all the members from freland. The offer was not accepted, however, and Mr. Gladstone, while complaining of the unex- pected nature of the proposal showed con- siderable temper. The great Minister feels his helplesness ‘and resents it, but he seems indispused to adopt A BOLD POLICY which can restore, the damaged prestige of his Government. The difficulties of the sit- uation are increased by the tendency to tur- bulence. manifested by the House. Scenes of disorder are recurring with unpleasant fre- quency, which, if persisted in, must bring the august assembly into popular contempt. The defiance of the Speaker's authority is not confined to the Bome-Rule members. The contagion has affected the high lights of Toryism, as, for instance, Lord Elcho’s pro- sal to bring in his burlesque bill on Mr, ‘orster’s measure making eviction in Ireland a disturbance, and entitling tenants | to compensation. Tnis proposal the Speaker considered an attack on the dignily of Parliament, and refused to allow the noble Lords questions to be placed. In ad- dition, the Burials bill and the Ground-Game bill woke MUCH ILL FEELING from various quarters. Mr. Bradlaugh is to affirm Monday; but, is he subject to all the penalties of voting afterward, namely, £500. The Committee practically decided nothing, but they stultify themselves by shifting the responsibility to the law courts. Thediscus- sions in Parliament next week promise to be quite as interesting as those of last week, and equally unsatisfactory. “ INSHAVOGUE.” ‘The dramatic fortunes of the Adelphi The- atre seem to be in the ascendant, ‘Mr. Bouci- cault having, apparently, restored the house to its old popular position. Boucicault’s new drama, ‘‘Inshavogue,” is a drama in four acts, two of. which pass in London, and two in the West of Ireland. Itis said that it contains situa; tions which will throw the “Colleen Bawn” and “ Arrah Na Pogue” into the shade. Ire- land is to be shown from a new point of yews and Irish character in an entirely new ig) THR IRISH LAND BILL. To the Western Amoctated Frese. Lonpox, June 19.—The. second reading ‘of the Irish Land bill in the House of Commons is fixed for the 23d inst. ‘The bill provides that until the 3ist of December, 1851, eject: ments for non-payment of rent in certain scheduled districts where distress is prev- alent shall be deemed a disturbance of the tenant landlord, within the meaning of the Landlord and Tenant act of 1870, and the tenant shall be entitled to compensation in the discretion of the Judge of the County Court. AFFAIRS IN PARLIAMENT. The Home-Rulers have resolved to onpose the progress of the Dill for the relief of Irish distress until the Government reduces the pill founded on the principle of, the new clause to be prepared by the Chief Secretary for Ireland, enlarging the powers of the local boards for awarding compensation to the oc- cupiers of land. LOCAL OPTION. The passage in the House of Commons of the focal option resolution, giving the in- habitants of any district the right of deter- mining whether licenses to public houses shall be renewed or not, will oblige the Goy- ernment to introduce a bill regulating liquor licenses, THE COTTON-SPINNERS. ‘The cotton manufacturers of North and Northwest Lancashire have notified their spinners and card-room hands that the state of the trade does not warrant the 5 per cent advance in wages promised, conditionally, for the first week in July. Similar notice is iven by the Bolton Masters’ Association. ‘he workmen demand the advance, or thoy will strike. oy ‘THE TICHBORNE CASE.

THE ‘ FIGABO’S” STORY. ARIS, soe last night the ead- une 19,—Uniil - oes of the Legitimists refrained from noticing an article in which the Figaro dis- closed the existence of & Royalist secret fund or caisse noire and- a Royalist Committee. They have now broken silence.: Figaro’s disclosures are treated disdainfully, but it is acknowledged that a fund intended to pay the electoral expenses of Royalists does exist. Some, curious facts regarding the Caisse Noire are leaking out. ursday next, or stand over It seems that the loyalty of the Chambordists dves not make them indifferent to the main chance, for all the subscribers to the fund were promised interest at the rate of 3 per cent as long as the fund was unemployed. La Paiz, a Republican organ, insinuates that the sums colllected amount to 15,000,000 francs, that the Loyalists intend to stir up an insurrectionary movement in the provinces about August. This report is to-day denied. Whatever purpose the caisse noire was originally destined for, it is not likely to be of much use now that the con- spiracy bubble has been burst. THE AMNESTY QUESTION. Mlo the Western Associated Press. Panis, June 19.—Gambetta, at a meeting of the Senators and Deputies to discuss the amnesty question, said: “In the provinces, as in Paris, public opinion has accepted am- nesty as necessary. ‘The Conservative and Republican papers of Paris are all pro- nounced for amnesty. The Republican or- gans in the provinces also unanimously fa- yored it. Four thousand amnestied persons are now in Paris, and their quiet had refuted the fears expressed regarding the mainte- uance of order. Why shrink from ainnestying a few prisoners? The Government could be sure of 320 adherents in. the Chamber of Deputies. In this state of things it would be incomprehensible for the Senate to im- pede the measure.” AMNESTY BILL INTRODUCED. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Pre- mier De Freycinet introduced a bill for plenary anmesty to all political offenders. The preamble of the bill says: ‘In the presence of the tranquillity reigning in Paris. the recent triumphs of loyalty at Lyons, and the approaching national féte, plenary am> nesty canbe proclaimed without danger.” ‘Also: “The Ministry appeals to your clem- eney, not to your justice.” : Amnesty is to be accorded to all persons convicted of political offenses or crimes in 4870 and 1871, and to political and press offenders from that time until the present time. ‘The preamble was cheered. A motion for urgency proposed by Pre- mier De Freycinet was agreed to, as was also the Premier’s further proposition that the bill be referred to the Bureaux immediately. RUSSIA. THE DEAD EMPRESS. Special Cable. f Lonpow, June 19,—Several additional facts connected with the last sad chapters in the story of the late Empress of Russia have been communicated by mail, the Russian censors not permitting such things to travel over the wires. When the Em- press was placed in the coflin she was arrayed in the Imperial robes with a long mantle, crown, and all her decorations, in- cluding that of the Red Cross of Geneva, which she prized above all. He fect were shod with white satin shoes, the whole costume being more fitted for a festival than for a journey to the land whence no traveler returns. Just as the Metropolitan of St. Patersburg was lifting the body into the coffin the Emperor and his five sons, who were standing by were startled by a loud clap of | thunder that seemed to shake the palace to its foun- dations. . The storm raged incessantly until the body reached the chapel. _It then ceased as if by enchantment. ‘The Emperor, who, as is well known, is very superstitious, was visibly affected by what he must have taken for a proof of Divine displeasure. His emo- tion betrayed itself by the low nervous cough qilett jg well known to his friends and cour- lers. ——. SPAIN. RELIGIOUS ORDER, ‘Special Cable. Panis, Junei9.—A Madrid correspondent telegraphs as follows: The Spanish Gov- ernment in a circular to the Governors of the Provinces informs them that King Alfonso in. a Council of the Ministers has been pleased to order that no re- ligious community expelled from France in virtue of the decrees of the Republican Government shall be permitted to establish convents, colleges, or houses in any province near the French frontier; that is to say, from Biscay across the peninsula to Cata- Jonia, in the Provinces of Navarre, the Etro Valley, Aragon, and Catalonia, which were the theatre of the Carlist rings. In the rest of the Peninsula the Govern- ment reserves the right to examine all their petitions for authorization to reside. This is to apply to native as well as to French com- munities, and none shall be tolerated in the Kingdom before an_ au- thorization is granted. The laws of Spain since 1836 disestablished prohibited re- ligious orders, but the restoration, as the cir- cular observes, has only tolerated convents, monasteries, and Jesuit colleges atter exam~- ining their petition, Since the Ferry decree in France many orders, including Jesuits, have solicited permission to reside in Spain. THE RIFLE. LONG-RANGE SHOOTING AT DOLLYMOUNT. Dustrs, June 19.—In the shooting for the Long-Range Challenge Cup at Dollymount to-day seven Americans and ten of the English team competed, the ranges be- ing 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. Ten shots were allowed at ench range, with two sighting shots. There was a drizzling rain and mist, which much hindered the sighting shots. The rain ceased after the 900-yards range had been shot, but the sky continued overcast. A light fog came from the sea at the long range, and the pull’seye could be only dimly observed through the sighting-glass. As the Ameri- cans are accustomed to shooting in good light it was admitted that today’s practice could not be taken as a test of merit. Rockwell, of. the American team, retired after six shots, in which he made 13. Brown Tetired after his ninth shot,‘with a score of 32.

THEIR LITTLE DISPUTE. Lospon, June 19.—A circular note of Aus- tria addressed to the Powers, proposes to settle the Roumania-Bulgaria boundary dis- pute by modifying the report of the technical Commission, so that, while Arab-Tabia shall belong to Roumania, the southeastern part of Sitistria, which will dominate the pro- posed Danube bridge, shall remain Bulga- rian. ‘Viexna, June 19.—The Political Corre- spondence says: The Roumania agent at ophia_ has been instructed to demand from the Bulgarian Government a categorical ex- lanation relative to the withdrawal of the ill authorizing the naturalization of Bulga- rians as Ronmanians in the new Roumantan territory. _In case the explanation is unsatis- factory, Roumania threatens a rupture of diplomatic relations. THE CONFERENCE. THE TECHNICAL COMMISSION. BERLLS, June 19.—Delegates to the Tech- nical Commission met at 11 this morning, and the Plenipotentiaries at 8 this afternoon. The sitting of of the latter body lasted an hour and three quarters. An agreement of views continued, and it is consequently believed that the conference will terminate its labors in eight or ten day: TURKEY. ‘THE EX-KHEDIVE’S HAREM.

THE DEADLY CAR-HOOK. Considerable excitement was occasioned yes- terday afternoon about 2 o'clock on Indiana avenue, near Twenty-ninth strect, in conse- quence of an altercation between a paper- hanger named Grierson, employed by a Twenty- second street firm,and Joe Dexter, driver of an open car, 307 of the Indiana avenue line. Itap- pears that Grierson had two bundles on tho car in question, one containing paper and the other his tools. When near Mwenty-ninth street he got off the car with one of the bundios, and, while laying it down, the car started with the other bundle. Grierson yelled to the driver, who, instead of halting in order to permit Grierson to remove the bundle of paper, himself threw the bundic into the street, which at that point was slightly muddy in consequence of a recent sprinkling. This incensed the paper- hanger, and he started on a full run for the car, all ihe while breathing imprecations against the driver. jwaping on the car, he struck the driver, who dropped his lines, selzed a car-book, and endeavored to use it.. The car was crowded with ladies and children, there being only four men beside the conductor and driver on the car. These latter immediately rushed forward to stop tho mélée, and the ladics and little people rushed off the car in an af- frighted condition. Before more than 2 couple of blows could be struck the parties were sep- arated and Gneison finally persuaded to get off thecar. While he was upon the ground, loudly expressing his ability to whip a little man who had upbraided him ‘for his conduct, Dexter's Irish arose and he strick the paper man a ter- rible blow on the head with the car-hook. For amoment Gneison stood like one dazed; then he staggered and fell upon a grass plat, while the blood spurted copiously from the gash, which extended from the forehead to the ear. Dr. MacDonald. who lives in the vicinity, happening to witnoss the occurrence, succecded in restoring the unfortunate man to consclous- pleas mae ane food oC blood, and uy @ wound. He expressed the belief that the injuries. while not of a fatal charncter, might prove more seri- ousthan a mere cursory examination hud dis- closed. As far as could be learned no arrest had been made. BOLD OUTRAGE. Late yesterday afternoon a Biss Lena Klein, living in the vicinity of the corner of Clybourn avenue and Halsted street, swore out a- warrant before Justice Kauf- mann cbarging an individual named Berthold with assault with intent to commit rape. Her story is, substantially, that she does not know Bethold, but that he ‘boards in the nelghbor- hood, ahd that when ahe went to bed Friday evening he was under hor bed, having gained adtaission to her room by way of a window, and that subsequently he assaulted her and made his escape. ROBBERIES. One of the suppressed cases was the robbery of Louis Pallas. of Oak Park. On the night of the 14th, while crossing the North Huisted street viaduct, he was assaulted by bighwaymen, who robbed him of $50 cash, & watch, and some minor articles of jewelry. The West Division police arrested George Hood, Thomas Summers, John Tracey, and Michael Milligan. ‘racy was fully identified by Mfr. Pallas, and was held in $500 to the 2ist. Late yesterday afternoon three burgla:s en- tered David Corbutt’s saloon, at the southeast corner of Halsted street and Archer avenue, and stole about 1,000 cigars from’a storeroom in the rear of the saloon. Officer J. J. Meaney dis- covered them as they were getting away, and caught one of them, named Cushman, alias “Shorty,” in whose possession he found forty cigars. ‘A portion of the remainder was found under a sidewalk by Lieut.

George Schultz, 15 years of age, and Andrew ‘Wagner, 8 years of age, are locked up atthe West Chicago Avenue Station, charged with stealing a watch and chain from August Gra- bouski, of No. 4Lessing street, while at work plastering a house at the corner of Klcotwood streot and Elston avenue. Tho watch was not recovered. Hugh Keegan, with money in his pocket and a diamond pin in bis shirt front, is a man whom the Central Station detectives cultivate; Hugh Keegan, penniless and with bis diamond pin tn pawn, is a vagrant whom the same detectives fre wont torunin. He is no good to chiefs of departments: he is no good to the detectives; hence he must be run in as a vagrant. Upon a telegram from 8. J. Gibbon, of the philudelphia police, Detectives Simmons and Haines yesterday arrested George Knous in a saloon fear the corner of State and Harrison streets. The Philadelphia authorities, upon 1s- certaining that Knous had no money upon him, said there was no use holding him, as there was ‘no one at that end of the route who was willing to defray the expenses. He was, therefore, re- Jeased. “Knows says he was wanted there for the Jareeny of $100 cash from his father-in-law. [THE WILMETTE MYSTERY. Arrest of William Meyer on Suspicion of Having Murdered His Child. After several days’ investigations prosecuted on their own account, Central Station detectives yesterday place under arrest William Meyer, the father of the boy found drowned a fow weeks since at Wilmette, concerning whose death there have been so many rumors and several suits in the Superior Court for damages and libel. Yesterday Detectives Shea and Kiptey, Arnstein and Londergan, went to Wilmette for the purpose of following up in- vestigations by the Intter two officers which had been in progress for several days past. Just a8 the detectives arrived at the depot they met two of the Meyer children, who, hand in hand, wore waiting for the return of their father, who had been to the city on busineas. Detectives ‘Amstein and Lonaergan took these children in hand and closely questioned the eldest. a child of 8years, regarding the death of thoir lttlo brother Willie. By putting to the child leading questions, they were told that Willie came home inte one night, and that his mother struck him a heavy blow on the back of the bead with a sticky Ho fell tothe floor, and tho little girl says" she knows mo more. becalise she was taken away from the room by her parents. ‘This point was greatly enlarged upon by, the detectives, and if fhere is anything in the case, they are confident that the tack thoy are now on will lead to the whole truth. The detectives were deeply im- pressed with the theory that the boy Fould not bave been accidentally drowned fn the cistern, as there was a double cover to it, and the opening was barely Srlde enough to admit the boy's body. It was their opinion that the boy either fell or was put into the cistern head first. Another important Polat, to them, was, that at the time of the boy's Bfsappearanoo, there waa only a few inches of Gatee in. the cistern. Mrs. Meyer has been sooften openly accused of murdering her gon. spatsho has now become quite accustomed to tho charge, and she takes it all good-naturedls. she insists tnt her boy was murdered. an that could not have been acci- dentally drowned, but she furnishes no points in support of her theory. ‘Though the neighbors are greatly excited orer the aifair, all save a few of thom are of the Spinion that the case will amount, to but little. $Pis now a certainty that the affair will receive full investigation; there are too many {ntereste clashing at present for results to niere otherwise. A close post-mortem exam- nation of the child's , and the arrest of Mrs. Meyer. are on the cards for this week. All Mitompts to interview Str. Meyer In his cell at Central Station last night proved futile. He would, of course, talk about the case, but what he had to say was entirely immaterial. He thought his boy bad been foully dealt with; he did not think the mother had anything todo with it, and yethe had noideaas to who the guilty person was. ‘The detectives thought he ywould prove tractable under lock and key, and that ke would teil anything he might know with alittle coercion. This was the chief reason for locking him up. a ———_$— SENATOR FERRY.

One Dime, Dodette, Kinkead, and Frank Short the Winners. Four Interesting Contests Be- tween First-Class Horses. A Sad Accident in the Hurdle-Race—Turt ; Events Elsewhere Yesterday. ‘Those who attended the running meeting here last June—chietly to be remembered on ac- count.of the ubominable weather with which this section of the country was afflicted about that time—were agreeably surprised yesterday morning to find the skies clear, the ground dry, and everything propitious for a first-class day of sport at the Jockey Club track, where was to be celebrated the inaugural day of the summer running meeting. For weeks it had been known that nothing but fair weather was necessary to make the atfnir asuccess, since all the other ac- cessories that go to make up a first-class mect- ing were assured. The numerous rich stakes bad filled to an extent never before known in this country, subserib- ers to them from nearly every State in the Union helping to swell the lists, and, with the finest track and buildings of any association in the country, the weathor was the only quarter from which evil things were feared. As before stated, it was all that could be desired. The sun of the past few days had dried the course fn the most thorough manner, and, although the bar- row had been applied rather too freely in places, uJ THE TRACK WAS FAST, and of the kind that will improve with each day's racing. Asearly as 1o'clock people began coming out from the city, and soon the beautiful driveway through Coutral Park, and from there to the entrance of the Jockey Club grounds, was filled with vehicles, from the satin-lined carriage of the millfonaire to tho humble express-wagon filled with ehiny-teethed colored citizens, whose in- terest in a “hoss race” never abates. The more favored ones left their carriages upon reaching the Club-House, and distributed themselves through that spacious strncturo, the ladies ascending to the upper balcony, which they soon completely filled, while the men either sat and smoked on the lowerone, or wandered around ainong the stables, the bet- ting-stands, or the cooling grounds. By 2 o'clock there could not have been Jess than 5,000 people within the inclosure, and the number was probably added to by 500 before the afternoon was over. Itwas an assemblage of which the Club might well feel proud, and showed conclu- sively that, when properly conducted, racing is popular in Chicago. There were four events on;the program, the first being THE INAUGURAL RUSH. adash of one and a quarter miles for all ages, the purse being $300, of which £50 went to the second horse. The entries in this race were an exceptionally fine lot, both as to quality and numbers, the starters being | Beatitude, Florence’ Payne, One Dime, Liahtunah, Jim Malone, Bancroft, — Macedonicus, — Re- nown, Sistova, Long Taw, and Headlight. On account of bis having sustained not a single de- feat previous to reaching Chicago, Long Taw was made a favorit by the betting men. and the 1s were sold at n. lively rate with Mr. Morris" horse first choice, One Dime second, Linhtunah third, and the bulunce in the field, In the mutual pools the sume state of affairs pre- yailed, Long Taw being the choice of a large mujority of those who purchased tickets, while in the books be was the one against whom the shortest odds were obtainable. The balance of the starters and their merits were more or, less known to horsemen, with the exception of the {year-old colt Renown, by West Roxbury, out of Nora Worth, and consequently full brother tw Startle, Trump, and other well-known flyers. In 1859 this colt was entered in the Kentucky Derby, and up to within three weeks of the race remained first favorit, in spite of the fact that ho made no appearance in his 2-year-old farm. Late last year he took part in afew unimportant races at the smaller meet- ings, his Derby ‘engagement being canceled on account of a slight injury to one of the colts bind legs, which, however, did not affect him permanently. "At 2:00 o'clock, with commendable prompt- ness, the judges sent the eleven starters to the three-quarter pole, and, after a tew ineffectual attempts on the part of someof the riders to gain an advantage by jockeying, the flag fell to : ‘A VERY GOOD START. Renown at once jumped into the lead, and, taking the track, came down the homestretch and past the stand a clear length ahead of all the rest, they being about as closely bunched as was possible. Bancroft was slightly in front of One Dime and Long Taw, Florence Payne, Liah- tunub, and Jim Stalone being just behind. Atthe south turn these positions were unchanged, and they ran thus to the quarter pole, where Ban- croft began moving up on Renown, One Dime coming out of the ruck and taking third place by aneck from the others. At the threc-quar- ter pole, one mile having been run, Bancroft gave up the chase, his place being quickly taken by One Dime, who seemed about the only one in the lot able to compete with the Illinois colt. Coming down the homestretch he gained on the Yeader slowly but surely, and at the distance- stand was at bis neck. ‘From this point home the struggle between the leading pair was a very exciting one, but, by dint of hard riding on the part of Murphy, One Dime was enabled to finish {n front by not more than six inches, the crowd cheering lustily as the pair raced under the wire head and head in 2:09%, within a second and a quarter of the best time’ on record, the 3-year. Old colt Mendelssohn having run the distance at the Lexington meeting last spring in 2:08, beat- ing Verdict, Himyar, Victim, Jils Johnson, and Miss Hardaway in the order named, In view of the present state of the track Lere (It being only two feet to water), the race yesterday is consid- ered by horsemen to be superior to that run by Mendelasobn. Headlight finished a good third, about two lengths behind Renown. ‘THE SUMMARY: CHrcaco JOCKEY AND TROTTING CLUB COURSE, June 19, 1880.—The Inaugural Rush; purse $300, for all ages; $50 of which to second horse.

Just after winning his race, One Dime was pur- chased by Mr. Charles Bathgate, of Fordnam, N. ¥., for 35.000, and it is doubtful whether the horse starts again at these meetings. He issup- posed to have been purchased for Mr. Rene. “After tho buzz of excitement over the defeat of Long Taw had subsided, speculation turned to the sccond event of the day, THE LADIES’ BTAKES, a three-quarter-mile dash for > ear-old fillies, in which seven starters out of thirty-eight en- tries faced the starter. After the usual prelim- inary gallop in blankets, the young: things were taken to the quarter-pole for the start. In the poul-selling Lizzie 8, bad been made a hot fa- yoriton account of her victories in the South, while Babee was a strong second choice. Un- fortunately for the backers of these animals, both of them broke away to a faise start and ran nearly half a mile at apeed before they could be stopped. Almost immediately upon their ar- rvalat ‘the starting-point the flag fell, and the lot went away in style. Lizzie S. at once jumped to the front and made the run- ning all the way, Dodette in second pince. ‘They ran thus until the head of the homestretch was reached, when Dodette made herrun. She was quickly up to the girths Of the leader, and at the distanoe-stand the pulr were on even terms. They raced to the wire under the whip, Dodette winning by a head only irisiz, only a quarter of a second slower than the best time on record at that distance by” year-olds carrying the weight.

In theecarlier part of the poot-sel ing ng Time was the favorit, but just before the start for the first heat Kinkead sold first choice. After several attempts & good send-off was effected. Duke of Kent, who seemed to have the speed of the party, at once shot tothe front, and maintained alead of a length until well down the homestretch, when he was passé by Rinkead, who won cleverly By alengta from Big Henry in 1:4$24; Duke of Kent-third. For the second heat Kinkead was a big favorit, but after a severe struggic he wus beaten a neck and shoulder De Duke of Kent for secoad place, Long Time being first by # neck In 1:48. ‘All were now sent to the stable except Long Time and Kinkead. The betting was I ty in favor of the latter horse, bis staying qualities being known to be first-class. A nice send-off was effected, Long Time being slightly in the lead when the drum tapped.

Cannon, and Capt. Franklin. Short was the favorit, and made running for the first three-quarters of 2 mile, with Cannon second. The fatter horse fell at the fourth hurdle—in the home-stretch—and his heels struck the rider, a colored boy known ‘a3 “Steve Stamps,” a severe blow in the back of the head, producing injuries from which it is thought he will die. Capt. Franklin jumped over the boy before he could rise, but fortan- ately did not touch him. Cannon was mounted and ridden in by another jockey,{thus securing third money. ‘THE SUMMARY.
