On the afternoon of the 13th inst., between five minutes past five and ten minutes past five o’clock, both the sea and the land hereabouts were the sceve of an appalling calamity. The full area covered ia not yet known, but so far we are sure that it reaches from Cobija to Chala, the last port where we cast anchor. Chala is in ruins, and the destruction was dealt inland as far as Arequipa, which no longer exists. 1 viewed the sad sight of Arica’s desolation, ‘and I will first tel! you what I saw before stating what bas reached my ears about scenes of rain inland. When we left Coquimbo on the 18th several changes in the atmosphere were noticed, but we added no importance to them, Ordinarily at Arica an agreeable breeze is felt from ten A. M. until five P. M., and at night there is a calm which in sum- mer causes as an almost unbearable feeling. About tha time, however, the above order of things otanged. At morning there was rarely any breeze, while at night there were strong gusts of wind that Btirred up the sea very much. On the 13th inst. the water wore a dead calm for some time, Towards five o’clock in the afternoon a fresh breeze from the south set in, but it lasted only while the damage was being done, A noise like to that of a tempest dis- Spuserine in the distance preceded the awful hock of earthquake and the ground began f shake from south to north with 80 ~ great force that all the buildings began to shed their decorations and in a few moments tumbled to the oun themselves, The wooden buildings stood a w seconds longer than their stone-built neighbors. AN at once the cry was heard—The sea! the sea !”? On looking towards the water we saw at a glance that we had to move -rapidly to the hills or be en- gulfed, for the sea had, to use the expression, ehrugged up to an immense height. We could not measure it. In an instant it rushed impetuously on the shore, which was shaking from the earthquake. ‘The vessels were at anchor in sight. They were now witcher ruthlessly northward, then southward, and thus to and fro for some moments by waves about thirty feet high, when they were cast ashore or dashed to pieces on the reefs. Five ditferent times did such a wave rise, but the last four times its height was less than the first. Had the waves risen @ few feet higher they would have washed away the upper portion of town, which, however, has been rendered uninhabitable by the shocks of the earth, These shocks kept us in terror. They recurred on the first day every quarter of an hour and on the second day every hour, There, in the town, stands @ palm tree unshaken by the convnision aud un- touched by the sea, its leaves as green as ever.

Of all the saltpetre regions Pisagua has suifered least. ‘Two-thirds of it are still standing, aud only fourteen or fifteen people were killed there, At Yio the earth opened and threw up a column of water.

CARLOS FERREY ROS, YACHTING. : Tbe Brooklyn Yacht Club Chowder Excursion to New Dorp. Pursuant to the invitation of Commodore George W. Kidd the members of the Brooklyn Yacht Club assembled yesterday at New Dorp, 8. I., where they were entertained with all the delicacies and festivi- ties ever attendant on an excellent chowder display. The morning was delightfully fine, a beautiful and refreshing breeze tempering the hot rays of the ris- ing sun, and by half-past nine o’clock the club house was filled with the numerous guests who with the spirit of true yachtmen manifested every anxiety to take advantage of the wind. Seven yachts were in readiness to join the cruise and were quickly boarded by the pleasure seekers, who subsequently realized all the bright anticipations of a fine sail and Pleasant day. The gun from the Commodore's live- ly craft signalled the feet to start, and shortly after the following yachts sped rapidiy towards the Nar- rows:—Alice (Commodore Kidd), Restless, Fal- con, Fmma T., Niagara, Letona and Apollo, with numerous small fry in the rear. Quite a regu- Jar contest took piace, and heedlegs of the freshening breeze sails ran up like lightning and were as quickly hauled in agaiu, for the balf a gale that blew out- side the Narrows warned the minor craft to beware. The Alice led the way in splendid style, while her friends parenee her in hot though cautious haste, 8o that the competition lent pleasure to the surround. ing beauties of the scene. 1t was the intention o1 the fleet to drop anchor off New Dorp, but the strength of the wind decided that course to be im- practicable, and eventuaily the Alice, with the other yachts, wheeled around and lay some distance elf the third lauding at Staten Island, within a tew yards of the Dauntless.’ Arrived on shore the party, num- bering about one hundred and twenty, p in the steam cars to New Dorp, whefe carriages were in waiting to convey them to the grounds of the Richmond Club. Never did worshipper: around an indian sacrifice -wore earnestly or more religiously” regard their burning pile than did the half dozen sturdy looking men who grouped aronnd the cauldron that was to give forth the long expected clambake; never did the witches in Pena ir more vigorously than the gallant fellows who dashed with courage at the volcanic heap and booked up the burning stones for culinary purposes, Bushels of tempting clams, scores of Jumping lobsters, dozens of wide awake oysters and tender chickens frizzied and simmered with deli- Sinusic, Which faded away in bewitching sounds as the fresh seaweed was heaped on top. Thén out rushed fumes of delightful fragrance, and as the black pall was spread upon the victims new sounds broke upou the ear, Seated under a spacious awn- ing the guests sat down to an excellent eel chowder, engineered by Mr. Van Dyke and thoroughly en- joyed by all. Succeeding this came the smoking clambake, piping hot and cooked to perfection. The supply Was equal (o the demand, and the most com- plete harmony prevailed, if benignant faces and complacent siniles be any criterion of friendship and enjoyment. Ali m all the was % masterpiece of culinary skill, In reply to the toast of his health Commodore id briety returned thanks in statins wre es rel that he looked forward to @ recurrence of suc! pleasant scenes. Subsequently the party adjourned to the stand house of the trotting course and wit- nessea 2 well contested walking match of three- quarters of a mile, Which gave rise to much amuse- ment, as did also arace weil won by a smart sea- man of the Alice crew. Other simple and entertain- ing recreations contributed to the enjoyment of the occasion. The thanks of the guests were conveyed to the Commodore, who rendered his acknowledg- ments in a few Obecrvations. After a delightful day, one of real pleasnre and sociability, the guests re- turned to the city. Regetta at Lake Pontchartrai: A regatta came off a few days since at Lake Pont- chartrain, La. The first race was for yachts of small dimensions, and as the day was favorable an interesting and exciting contest took place.

It is a trife higher and less pointed in front, but there is peyond this no appreciable differ- ence in the frame itself from that of the summer or present style. The coverings are generally of silk and velvet, or wholly of the latter, while the trim- mings in lace and ribbons and flowers are even more profuse than heretofore. ‘The dresses, such of them as we had the pleasure of looking upon, as well as the cloaks, are all made of extremely rich materials, and mostly of the period. of Louis XIV. It is but just to here remark that very many of our leading modistes have not yet thought of introducing their styles in private, while others will not permit even the argus-eyed press to look upon their treasures Jest they should be held up to the world, which would, especially that part of it that is given to pilfering ideas as well as things, might, nolens volens, appropriate them to their profit and the inventor's loss. Notwithstanding this reticence it Is but just to say tnat those who hold back, not less than those who advance in making known their discoveries in the esthetics of dress, of the toilet, are fully prepared to meet even ihe ex- travagant demands of their customers. But here is what was seen:— R. THOMPSON & CO. Among the hats particularly examined was a Princesse Royale, of white velvet, trimmed with a drooping lily, mounted with a bunch of green frosted leaves, which, falling over the back, was finished with a veil of white Spanish lace, The strings, also of Spanish lace, were trimmed with an edging one inch wide of satin bipings and blonde lace. The stri are 80 arranged that they lap over each other and fastened with pearl, in leaf form, or- naments, This is an elegant affair, and we are of the impression that it will! be exceedingly popular with ladies, A brilliant carriage bonnet, @ la gypsy, trimmed in black velvet, with a band of green shaded ribbon that passes around the back, to which are added fastenings of berthe, with black Brussels lace, shaded with spots to match the ribbon, fastened at the back with a large rosette of the same shade, ornamented with a large june- bug. A large black rose surmounts the front of the hat, with a trailing vine falling to the left, of autumn Jeaves and smal rosebuds. This hat was made in Paris and is marked at $45, A full evening dress bonnet, made in the atelier of the firm, of black Rrus- ela lace, embroidered with floss and trimmed with black thread lace an inch wide. A string falls over and forms the letter V, which ts also of lace, added to which are pipings of satin of the Sultana tint. The coronet isa full band of royal velvet, of the same shade as the satin, and ts fastened in front by @ handsome jet ornament. The back is trimmed with a fall of wide thread lace, fastened to a large bow of satin ribbon, witha jet to match the one in front of the coronet. On the right is placed an os- trich tip of the Sultana color. ‘The bounet, a most lovely aiTair, is worth $30. MADAME DUVOL, ‘This lady’s reception rooms in Broadway are well stocked with patierns in the latest and most popular styles of dresses, cloaks and mantillas, Among dozens of very attractive aifairs, we noticed a dress atourreau. This costume is compose of a basque and sash attached, cut in one piece. The suit is stylish to a degree and is suitable for ais | toilet or for the promenade, We next examined a brown dress trimmed with white satin, and having a rotun- da with cardinal capes and full tournure. There was also on the model anew costume called the mar- chioness, a splendid petit panier conception, with basquine = mantilla. Also & panier double, in lavender, similar in other respects to the beautiful marchioness. There was also a Comtesse Dubarry, very elegant in expression, fully uifed, and ed as a promenade costume, ere were many other gtyles, but we have only — to notice, of the dresses, a Pornpadour robe de chambre and an elegant Watteau waist and skirt. At this place we were introduced to a cloak—half ctreniar, sncque and Watteau combined—a most bril- Mant affair, To be exceedingly presentable the body of this cloak should be of black velvet, the capes of satin and trimmed with lace and satin or crotchet work, with buttons of the same, This cloak can be made in any rich goods, such as satins or vel- vets. There was also & mantilla cloak, to be made in purple'or brown plush or velvet, trimmed with lace and satin.

A leading creation for the head ig a cap, @ la Polonaise (a Parisian inven- tion), but greatly improved by Madame, The crown of this covering is somewhat of the tocque style, is full at the back, declining towards Sana ae pret- ty, soft ‘and becoming look to the face, The tab is of an elegant pale pink satin, trimmed with white Chantilly lace, having a fall and strings of the same bound with satin to correspond with the body of the cap. This elegant little affair is set off on the right side with a houquet of moss buds. The cost of this cap is $50. Xt we looked at & genuine tocque, compose in the body of black velvet elaborately embroidered im jet. The peculiarity of the hat, and a decided novelty, consisis in the bride, which is com- posed of Chantilly lace five yards in width, which passes over the back of the hat, puffed, every four inches joined with a bow of black satin, The coronet of this elegant contrivance is of jet, set off onthe right with an eagie’s plume, added to which is an aigrette. The cost of this invention is $50. This lady also offered for criticism @ magni- cent ballet costume, which, when completed (it is not yet wholly trimmed), will command the high rice of $700. The trimmings of the underskirt ex- nd haif-way up, and are composed of fans, top and bottom, with puifs in the centre, fastened with ro- settes of black satin. The waist 1s plaited, with fans, also, fastened with rosettes, falling half way down to the skirt. The train is fastened by # yoke, but can, at the will of the wearer, be worn as & train or walking dress, en panier, ‘The enure costume is of heavy corded silk.

In accordance with the request of the republi- can members of the Fortieth Congress the under- signed devide and respectfully recommend that there be @ full attendance of both houses of Con- gress fon Monday, the 2ist day of September instant D ys ge’ at tweive o’clotk noon, It is not expected that general legislative business will be entered into at that time, or that the session need be longer than necessary to provide lor anotier adjournment, {t is important that there should be such genera! attendance of members as will secure the presence of a quorum In each house. E. D. MORGAN, Chairman Union Republican Committee, ROBERT ©, SCHENCK, Chairman Republican Congressional Committee. In the course of conversation with these gentle- men they, as have other members, expressed them- selves in favor of a further adjournment until the 2ist of October. They did not, however, think proper to so recommend, believing that this is a sub- Ject to be determined by Congress itself. Senator Morgan left for New York to-night, but will return by Monday. General Schenck will re- main here three or four days after Monday next to attend to business connected with the Union Repub- lican Congressional Committee, . Senator Wade and Speaker Colfax will arrive here on Friday or Saturday. Members of Congress continue to arrive, and it is thought there certainly will be a quorum in the House, though whether there will be in the Senate yet remains somewhat doubtful. ‘The opinion of the most of the members who are here is that no legis- lation should be attempted other than providing for adjournment, and it is belleved that a caucus of the members of both houses will be held ou the 19th instant to decide the question regarding the neces- sity of entering into other business.

He denies the report that he had imterviews in New York with gentlemen connect- ed with the Steamship Navigauion Company, and that he had indicated to them a plan which, if agreed upon, would enable him to sign the bonds of the company. He had an interview with one genticman in New York in reference to this subject, but informed him that as the Jaw stands no guarantees can be given for the faithful execution of the provisions of the law, and that he must still decline to approve their bonds until the question is decided by the Attorney General whether the law is mandatory upon him or whether he may act in accordance with his own judgment. This question has not yet been submitted to the Attorney General, as Mr. Randall is waiting for the return of Mr. Evarte. Arrival ef the Colombian Minister. General Santos’ Neosta, Minister from the United States of Colombia, with his Secretary of Legation, arrived here to-day, Reception of the New Peruvia the President. To-day Sefior Garcia y Garcia, the Peruvian Minis- ter, had an audience with the President snd deliv- ered the following address:— Mr. PResIDENT—I have the honor to place in your hand the autograph letter in which his Excellency Seflor Don Jose Balta, the newly President of Peru, communicates to your E. cy that he has, in accordance with the constitution, taken px session of the high dignity confided to him by free suffrage of lis fellow citizens. Bound together as are era and the United States by the special rela- tions which the former holds in high esteem, and whieh, properly directed and cullivated, are destined ww produce immense venetiis to the commerce and industry of the two countries, the government of his Exceliency Sehor Balta, moved by the same senti- menis that animate the Peruvian people in re- gard to the great nation over which your excellency Ly jes 80 Worihily, Will spare no effort in promoting the development of these excellent rela- tions. Jt will, therefore, be a source of inexpressi- ble satisfaction to the new President of Peru to reiy upon the moral aid of the United States as well in the noble task of regulating the practical opera- tions of free government and firmly establishing re- publican institutions in the New World, a8 also in the equally beneficent labor of enabling both peoples: to remove all the obstacles that have hitherto re- tarded the perfect connection of the industry, the capital and the labor of all the nations of our America, once the hope, now the bulwark of the new civiization that is regenerating the world by means of liberty and justice, ‘The President replied as followa:— Mr. Gancta—I receive with much satisfaction the letter in which the newly elected Preaident of the republic of Peru bas confirmed and sanctioned your mission in the United States; and | cordially recipro- cate the fraternal sentimenta which you have ex- pressed. While the condition of tnternal ,peace is advantageous to all States, whatever may be the form of government, that condition is essential to the safety, prosperity and welfare of the republic. [ sincerely hope the republic of Pern may henceforth be without a foreiga enemy or a domestic revolution, Mr. Garcia—We are pained by the report that has reached ns of the great calamity which has falien not only upon Peru, but also on the adjacent countries of the Pacific coast. It is to be hoped, indeed, that these first reports may prove to be highly exagye- rated. Nevertheless, the calamity tn its lightest pos- sibie aspect is suilicientiy severe to excite universal sympathy and justly engage the charity of ristian nations, [ pray you to assure the President and people of Peru of my profound sym- pathy with them in their overwhelming amictions. Charges Against the United states ul we Aspinwall. li bas been stated that Colonel Grigsley has pre- ferred charges against Mr. F. J. pe, our Conen! at Aspinwall. The charge made against Mr. Rice by Colonel Grigsiey is malfeasance in office, in charging # fee of two dollars each for examining the passporte of American citizens, and also in charging a fee of two dollars and a half for every American steamers manifest that he signs. The specifications charge that the Consul received in this manner quite a re- spectable revenue without the slightest warrant of law. Important (uternal Revenue Decision, The Commissioner of Internal Revenve has just decided that exporters of cotton fabrics made ex- clusively of tax paid cotton are entitied to a draw- back when the goods may be exported: bur if the fabric is mate of material upon a part of which the tax has been paid, no tax having been paid on the Letiers to this effect have been sent to wil the superintendents of export.

Beaton * THE PATERSON RACES. ‘FIRST DAY. The Hurdle Race Won by Lobelia, the Two Yeur Old Race by Cotterell and the Mile Heat by Cersican. If the reopening of the Paterson race course, which took place yesterday under new and improved management, had been more generally known there is ttle doubt a very large assemblage would have appeared on the grounds, No better day for a horse race ever dawned on the banks of the Passaic, It was cool, crisp and clear, with @ flood of sunshine in the early morning and through the noontide that gave agay and laughing look to the river, woods and meadows, ‘Yhe track was In prime condition, with the slight exception of a few perches of damp clay on the three-quarter stretch, Elsewhere it was dry and smooth as @ billiard table, and yielded to the tread like @ Brussels carpet on a six inch Jayer of straw paper, As it is there are just six inches of stable manure laid beneath the finest of gritty gravel. If nature be true to her vegetative instincts there should be a fine crop of something verdant on this track next spring. Up to noon @ horse and a harrow, with adarky m charge, kept moving around the course reducing the uneven surface to a uniform jevel. After it was ail done the track appeared as if it had been dressed with a fine tooth comb—an appearance which produced a very favorable impression, ‘The first train of cars brought the bona fide horsemen, not in very large numbers, but still in suafiicient force to make a respectable nucleus around Dr. Underwood's pool. The Doctor was, as usual, up to his eyes in business, with a bright smile and a merry weélcomegfor every one. Long Ife to him! If Paterson race course fail to prove @ brilliant success under his management then the world must be out of joint or the eternal fitness of things works to a disadvantage, The horsemen gathered in @ cluster on the broad piazza of the hotel, and to the initiated eye it was easy to perceive they were all gentlemen acquainted with the mysteries of the race course, the One and faulty points of every running animal ‘and all the rest of that extensive repertoire of knowledge apper- taining to the turf. To anybody else the prelimina- ries of a race are a bore, To the mere casual visitor nothing is interesting but the fying steeds, and to the morbidiy inclined the breaking of a jockey’s neck over a hurdle fence must be an adtitional spice of entertainment. Hovering around the hotel was a cloud of bootblacks, evidently improvised for the occasion, as they certainly never came from the neighborhood of the City Hall, and the thing seemed impossible that they could ever derive arevenue to pay even for peanuts in the rural retreats of Paterson. Though bootblacks they were all white boys, but a number of darkies, with the genuine African wool, amalgamated themselves with the rest, talking horse and making bets ranging from five cents to the price of a Paterson cigar. Then there was a host of stablemen, with bits of plain, green ribbon— members wore the same color, -watered—lounging about in every direction. As a rule they were dressed in the conventional way, with tight fitting, leathery-looking pantaloons, socky boots and gayly colored neckerchiefs, They appeared very cheeriul, and are no doubt a contented race of men, The pool selitng might have been more spirited if the result of each race was involved in greater doubt, but the prevailing disposition belag iv favor of a certain horse in each of the entries competition was deprived of its most lively edge. Wagons of rustic shape and make came straggling in about noon and deposited full loads of sight-seemg and fun-ioving jads and lassies. ‘The grand stand had a fair sprinkling of ladie: rural ladies, most of them, There was none of that superb nonsense curried on among thea which is reported to be such # fashionable affair at Jerome Park—nameiy, betting of kid gloves. The Jersey giris are sensible. There is just about as much fan in two Jadies betting kid gloves on a@ horse race as in two gents betting sieeve buttons on avaby show. As has been already said, no better day ever came out of the heavens for enjoying # trial of trained horsedesh, and it appeared provoking that asingle seaton the mam or any of the side stands should have been vacant, The races were brief and lively, and, in- deed, taking the programme as it was acted, the weather as it remained through the day and the spirit of good humor manifest among ail present, there have been few occasions on the Paterson field more generally enjoyed. In the side enclosures, adinission to which is at a tariff within the reach of all, there were several hundred spectators, among whom the contagion of betting—an epide’ which spreads at lightning speed on the breezy air of a race course—was more of a sportive than of a serious, business like character, as under the main stand. Sut there was an infinity of fun without any formidable exch: of currency. A little after one o'clock the juvenile CoN se were weighed in the balance and found all right. Those of a larger growth were a!so measured in avoirdupois and sent on their Way rejoicing. The place where this operation performed ts immediately under the second story the jndge’s stand and consists of nothing more pre- tentious than w hooks for hanging coats and caps upon and all simple weighing machine that accommodates riders of both races, black and white, im turn, At half-past one o'clock, the time appointed tor the race, Dr. Underwood, who by this time was immersed head and ears in the one thousand and tters that demanded the attention of a man- ourse, made & rush across the track ing, “Where's that bugle fellow’ Where ta he?’ “Here he is, Doctor; here he is alanna,” an- swered an Irish ostier, pointing out the man who held the trumpet tm martial attitude at hia lips. “Tell him to blow away like blazes,” continued the Doctor, and forthwith & lusty biast of brazen music echoed to the hills, the steeds were broug Jockeys tightened ther braces and the ¢ the day began. The Racing. The racing ‘commenced about o’clock over a track In pretty good not quite #0 fast as we have seen it. Lhe running, however, was very fair, particularly that of the two year olds and the mile heat race. The hurdle race was rather a tame affair, it being evident from the first that Lobelia had it all ber own way. Her oppo- nents did not seem to contest the race with her, but rather between themselves for the second money, ‘There were seven entries for this race, but only Lo- belia, Starlight and Kemorse came to the post when time was called, the others keeping away for reasons best known to their owners, The winner, Lobelia, is a rather unprepossessing looking mare, but poa- sessed of wonderin! muscular development, especially before the saddle, and with great propell- ing leverage. She seems, however, a litte slack in the loins; but this, if so, whether actually detri- mental to her or not, did not seem to affect her run- ning or Jamping action. She is certainly the best hurdler we ever saw, and at apy reasonable weight can beat any hurdier in the eountry, and even over the flat would be a dangerous customer for the most of our race horses, Starlight, the second in the race, is w very large bay horse, finely formed, a superior jumper, bat is rather slow in his rooning when compared with a first class racer. Hemorse, the last in the race, w in his three i form and owned by James S. Watson, was @ race horse. Le, however, bad the misfortune to break down, and, like tuany other unfortunates, was tanghit w jutop and become an unstiecessful hurdier. ‘The second rac eleven en hut only four appeared for the contest, the other seven two year olds feeling themselves rather too young for such a trial as Was before them. If they did not their own: ers did, agit required more than an ordinary degree half-past condition, but one of temerity to contend with such clippers’ 4s they were certain to be opposed to. ‘The four thar came to the post were Mr. Cotterell’s chestnut colt, ww kK: Mr. Daniel Boone, dam Maggie G., by Brown D Cameron's two imported filies Inveruglass, by Old Calabar, and Inverness, by Maccaront, and Mr. Lit- He's Onyx, by imported Nelipse, dam by Revenue, Mr. Cotierell’s colt won very easily. His appearan is greatly in his favor. He jooks like a rr horse and seems to have inherited the racing qualities of his sire. It is no wonder, therefore, that he became the favorite against the feild, as ne did at wight. A brilliant future is before him. ‘The ot were finaly | developed two year olds and ran rem: iy fast as | but a mile agai ich a com far as tuey could rep intend with was rather too | petitor as they had t far for them.

Of the seven entries b three came to the post, Lobelia, ridden by Mr. F wees; Starlight, with Lawler to guide iin, and Re- morse, with Grima on his back.“ leisurely for the light second and went at the first hurdie and topped it pre the turn the mare stili led, the others running side and side for a time, when Remorse fell vac. Going to the second hurdle Lobelia led two ienghts and went over the brush like @ swallow, Starliyit imak- ing a beautiful high jamp six lengths ahead of Ke- morse, The mare, under a strong pull, opened the gap down the backstretch, and when she took the third hurdle she was three lengths aliead of Star- light, Remorse six lengths behind, They all went over like birds, Around the lower turn Kemorse fell further in the rear, although the par an very slow, the mare leading four lengths, She came up the stretch “pulled double’? and took the fourth hurdle five lepgths abead of Starlight, wie did not seem inclined to make running, if he had any in bin. He got over the hurdle very prettily, as did Remorse when he came to it; but there was littie terest in the race from the slowness of the pace. Ax the mare the stand she was eight or ton lengt!s in advance of Starlight, who was ten or a dozeu lengths ahead of Remorse, AS Lobelia went over the fifth hurdle she cut off the brush with her hind legs, Starlignt also giving it a reminder, and when Remorse went over he rattied the scantling. Going around the turn the horses became more spread out, the mare leading a dozen length Approaching the sixth hurdle, at the quarter pole, Remorse made @ dash and closed on Starlight, L belia going over the hurdle ten lengths aead of the latter, On the backstretch Starlight and Remorse set sail and closed up rapidly on the mare, Starlight being within three lengths of her when she went over the seventh Lurdie, which sie took in ber usual graceful manner. Starlight was very high in his Jump; but as Remorse came to it he struck the rail and came near falling, throwing his rider on hia neck, where he poised for a second or two before he recovered himself, He then got back in hig saddle, but had lost 60 much ground by the accident as to throw his chances entirely ou.
