Sue took more thun a dozen prizes In England, and can beut auything thore fs in this count Tke other took the story in and walked off, firmly impressed with the opinion tnat be bad seen all there wits of Devon stock worth viewing. One of rhe features of the day was an address to the multitude by the Hon. George D. Lormg, successor to Le Due as Com- missioner of Agriculture. Mr. Lor- ing climbed on Mr, Bemis’ dog-cart in front of the grand-stand, and from that lofty eminence e forth wordsof wisdom. He wus intrqduced by President Saunders, and his brief speech was well received. Mr. Loring ulso made a few remarks to thé visitors ussembied at the. club-house, whonr he addressed as “fellow agriculturists.” He was not prepared to see such a successful fair, he said, and was slid to know that the enterprising business- of the efty had determined to ‘sustain the gement in their efforts to make it one of the grandest fulrs In the world. Abroad smile overspreau the features of the erowd when tho Doctor reterred tu the club- house as being tilled with the horny-handed sons of toil, the fact being that nor one in ten of the people present knew the difference be- tween it feld- burrow and a thrasbing-machine. Dr. Loring suid but [ttle more, excusing bim- self on the ground that bis time was very lim- ited, und closing big pleasant fittle speech by saying that he would leave the peoplo to imug- ‘The handicap for ail ages, one and one-quar- ter miles, Was a very pretty struggle.

Time—L:16x- After the fifth heat of the 2:40 race, McCarthy Qppeared on the stretch with Little Brown Jug, Mr. Bemis’ fast pacer. ‘fhe little animal was greeted with a round of cheers and appeared to recognize the compliment. The anusuncemont was mde that the animal would be given a fast mnilo, and he was sent away at a good clip, but it was plafn that he could inake no time, as the mud and track were against it, Tho last balr mile was trotted at the rite of 2:12%, and the mute was mude in 2:20. The Jug will be seat to beat the best record Monday. The crowning event of the day in the “speed rings” was the steeplechase, which was really a fine exhipition. It took the murshbals some time to clear the course of carriages, but the horses were tnally given the drum tap and went away in good shape. Linbtunah was the tirst to take the stone-wall jump, and Dechaut—the horse which fell in the steeplechase Tuesday—toliowed him, At che third Jump Liabtunad’ bolted and refused to tukeit, and bis rider gave up the race and retired from the course. Dechaut kept on around and took the second stone-wall and the water jump without a stumble. Guy and Miss Malloy followed, and Billet Lee, who came up after them, fell ufter clearing the water and threw his rider to the «round. The horse -recovered. and the rider remounted and sent him along atter the others, but he snon discov- ered that bis saddle was slipping. and he gave up the race. Miss Mulioy took the Jexd, closely pressed by Guy, und Dechaut, who had becume Ured out, wus cantering lazily after them. When the two leaders jumped the fence into the main track and came for the run there wus a Ugbt strug. uth came down under_the lash, Miss Mulloy floishing a nose ahead of Gu. ‘The crowd yelled * Dond heat!" and the judy alter a long and excited consultation, gave the race to Guy. This decision was very unsatis- factory tc everyone except the backers of Guy. asitwas generally believed that Miss Malloy was entified to the race. M.

A TRIeUNE reporter yesterday went over the ground to see whut had been ‘donc.. Up to inst evening the track had been torn up from Congress to ‘Van Buren street, and for u portion of the way the men were alrendy engaged in making the necessary excavations for lyin the tracks. As fur north as Polk street the road 13 nearly com- pleted, The concrete has been Inid, and the granit-block pavement is now being put down. At Polk street stands one of those great saake- like concrete mixers, from which men ure.haul- ing the stuff to ill’ in north of Polk street, where the yokes and track are already taid. A half a block north of Harrison street the road is entirely finished, and run3 in unbroken com- pieteness almost to Seventeenth street, where there is another great concrete mixing con- trivance at work, a duplicate of the one further north, The roadway in the centro, between the ‘strects named, is being’ rapidly finished, the noise of the eranit blocks being deadened by asphaltum, which wil” cover the stones, and thus make a strong, permanent, and unobjectionable drive- way, free from noise. At Archeravenue a larzo force of masons are at work laying the walls and building thearches which are tu cover the shifting machinery that will place the cable on Archer avenue. The excavations are deep, and the manuer In which the walls ure being bullc shows that they are intended to be permanent. ‘fhe masonry ia EXCEEDINGLY SURSTANTIAL, and tne walls look strong enouch tohold a seven-story building.

The centre is all dug up, and lurge forces of Inborers are enguged digging the trenches for the tracks. Between Twenty- first and Twenty-second streets there is a great aquace excavation which will. bo walled up, and will contain a portion of the machinery.

It was stated that the contract for laying the twenty-four inch main from the Inke to State street would be. let ig, the afternvon. The packers also adopted a plan for building a se- ries of fourreservoirs in ditferent partsof the paking-bouse district, tho aggregate capacity * of which will be about 12,000,000 gullons. These- are to be connected with . each other by a. four-mch pipe, and are to be kept _fullo? water. to bo used In cnse of fire only. They are Supplied by the artesiat wolis, two more of which are to be bored. The packers also decided to purchase a chemiex engine, to erect a house for the fire patrol, and to prucure such other apparatus as they ‘mas need. A committee consisting ot Messrs, Botts- ford, Counselman, and Singer was appointed, with full power to act, and was also given in- ‘structions to proceed st once to let contracts mnke purchases, and complete all necessary a6 rangements for doing the work, It wns estimated that the cost ot the improve- ments will reach $50,000 or $8.00). The mousey has already been subseribed by tho packers, ne cording to their ovation and interests.

Taylor, when President, although the document was read and-submitted to his Cabiner, had a sentence, which was subse- quently altered in the printed documents, in which it was boastingly averred that our country “was at peace’ with all the world,’ and “had amicable relations with ‘the rest of mankind.” When “‘all the world” wag embraced, “the rest of mankind” must have been intended for the undiscoverd country which John Cleaves Symmes ex: pected to bring to light from the ‘bowels of mother earth.” # The inaugural address of President Harri- son, wéll written and with many excellent things in it, was so much devoted to English elassies and to Roman history as to creata, much sport. It was a document like Gow Dennison’s, that one could safely swear by, for,there was nothing im the heavens or o@ the earth like it. Dennison’s was ridiculous for its big and unmeaning words and his at- tempt to show off his knowledge of a dead language, while. that of Gen. Harrison was almost as much laughed at, from his draw- ingon Roman and Grecian history and tne sayings of English authors. ‘The inaugural in its first.paragraph de clares an intention to present to the people a summary of the principles which would gov- ern the: new aduinistration, and in doing this he thus commence: oe “It was a remark of a Roman Consul, in an early day of that celebrated Republic, that x more striking contrast was observable in the conduct of candidates for offices of power and trust before and after obtaining them, they seldom carrying out in the latter case the pledges and promises made in the former. However much the world may have improved in many res spects in the lapse of upwards of 2,000 years since the remark was made by the virtuous and indignant Roman, I fear that 2 strict examination of the annals of some of the modern electoral governinents would develop similar instances of violated conti« dence”? The President did this, no doubt, to pave the way for unavoidable breaking of prom« ises made in the heat of acanvass. If tha custom of breaking promises and pledges by candidates existed in Rome 2,000 years ago, how faithfully it has been transmitted to tha present generation! Again, the inaugural, in relation to political parties, says: ae “ ft was the beautiful remark of a distin- guished English writer that in the Roman Senate Octavius had a party and Antony had aparty, but the Coinmonwealth had . none. Yet the Senate continued to meet in the ° Temple of Liberty, to taik of the sacredness and beauty of the Commonwealth, and to gaze at the statues of the elder Brutus and ot the Custii and Decii, and the people assem~- bled in the forum, not asin the days of Ca~ millus and the Scipios, to -cast their free votes for annual magistrates or pass upon the. acts of the Senate, but to receive from the hands of the leaders of the respective parties their share of the spoils, and to shout for one or the other, as those collected in Gaul or Exypt and the Lesser Asia would furnish the larger divie dend. The spirit of liberty had fied, and, avoiding the abodes of. civilization, had sought protection in the wilds of Scythia or Seandinavia. Aud so, under the operation of the same causes and influences, it will fly from our Capitol and our forum. A calamity so awful, not only:to our country, but to tha world, must be deprecated by every patriot, and every tendency to a state of things likely to produce it if not immediately checked, Such a tendency has existed—does exist.” And so onto the length of the entire inv augural, the good old man, tor none doubted Gen, Harngon’s ‘goodness of heart or. the purity of his patriotism, went on, drawing his iliustrations from Roman history and Ens glish writers. The address was prepared at his home, and written at his leisure, A day or two before his inaugural, Daniel Web- ster (as the tale is told in a book ofinter- esting. reminiscences of Webster, by his devoted friend and confidant, Harvey) met Gen. Harrison, and suggested to the President that as he (Harrison) was over- whelmed ith business. Mr. Webster had sketched"an “inaugural” for him. Mr, Webster had been selected for Secretary of State. ‘The General replied that it was un- necessary, as he had it already written, “Will you allow me to take it home and react it tonight?” asked Mr. Webster. “Certain- ly,” said the President, ‘and please let ine take yours.” So they exchanged documents. Next morning, when they met, Gen. IHarri- son said to Mr. Webster, “if 1 should read your inaugural instead of mine every- body would Know you wrote it, and that. £ did not. This is the only official paper pro- pose to write, for I donot intend to interfere with my Secretaries; but this is asort of acknowledgment on my part to the Amer- ican people of the great honor they have con- ferred upon me in electing me to the Presi- dency, and, although my inaugural is not so Suitable as yours, still it is mine, and I pro- pose to let the people have it just as Ihave written it, Iimust deliver iny own: instead. of yours.” When Mr. Webster found that the Presi- dent was bent upon using his own Inangu- ral ({ quote from the buok), Mr. Webster desired to modify it, and to get in some things that were not there, and to get out some things that were there, for, as it then. ‘stood, he said it had no more to do with the affairs of the American Government and provle than a chapter in the Koran. Gen. tison reluctantly consented to let. 3Lr. Webster take it, and he spent a large portion of the next day in modifying it. He was engaged to ding with | Mr. Seaton, of the firm of Gates & Seaton, of the National Intelligencer, oue of the warmest of Mr. Webster's adinirers. When Mr. Webster came in Mrs, Seaton reinarked to him, a3 he arri late, that he looked fatigned and worried. Mr. Webster was sarry thatshe had waited dinner for him. “That is of no consequence at all. ‘Mr. Webster,” said she, “wut L am sorry to see you so worried and tired. I hope nothing gone wrong. Ll really hope nothing has happened.” ** You would think tha svinething had happened if you knew wht Lhave done. Chave killed seventeen Noman Proconsuls ws dead as smelts; every one of then!” ‘That fs, he had purged the inaugural of that many allusions to them. If the anecdote is true—Mr, Webster is its au- thor—the inaugural of Gen, Harrison inust have been a condensed edition of Gibbon’a Rise and Fall of the Roman Bthvire instead of an inaugural address of an American President.
