10 RACING IN ENGLAND, The Two Thousand Guinéa Stakes, @Mverthrow of the Leading Favorite—Victory of the Northern Horse Bothwell—Horses and Winnings—Prince of Wales Absent— Prince Christian Present. NEWMARKET, April 27, 1871. ‘The first of the great three-year-old events of the feason, the Two Thousand Guineas, was decided on Newmarket Heath on Tuesday, and the result was the complete overthrow of the two animals which have all along, since the end of the racing of last year, occupied the leading positions ia the betting. Sterling and King of the Forest were veaten by the Northern horse Bothwell, who, until a recent period, was comparatively ignored by the great body of speculators. The ‘prophets,’ who have so far had a somewhat disastrous time of it since sport commenced for the season, have once more been “foored” almost toa man, and the vast majority of backers who relied on the “form” of last year are now “counting the cost’ of the wrong end and groaning over the losses they have sustained ny the triumph ofthe hope of Middieham. Newmarket is tar from being a popular spot with the multitude, and accordingly THE CROWD ON THE HEATH Dore no resemblance to that which we are accus- Tomed to see at other sporting centres, The Jockey Club, to whom it belongs, are far from approving of the hold which racing has taken upon ‘the lower orders, and would gladly hail the return of the time when some of the greatest events of the Year were decided in presence of ouly a select body of “swells,” a ringful of bookmakers shrieking the odds, a handful of trainers and Jockeys and the natives of the quaint little town which claims ‘Wo be the “headquarters” of the English turf. We never look out at Newmarket for the usual hangers- on of the sport—the three-card men; the thimble- riggers; the roulette board people; the purveyors of “cheap and nasty”’ retreshments; the proprietors of the fat woman and the learned pig; the shows ‘with the Tntbury Pet and the Birmingnam Bruiser; ‘the “fly boats” and “roundabouts,” which are Seatures of meetings elsewhere. Still less do we expect to see vast hordes of the unwashed such as cover the Surrey Downs and rend the alr with their shricks when the Derby winner rushes past the post; as line the sloping walls of the vast amphitheatre of the Rhoodee at Chester, when the famots cup is being run fer; as | stretches in dense masses away down and up the | course at Doncaster, when the St. Leger—or “Sel- Jinger,” in the vernacular of the district—is being | decided; or as blackens the town moor of New- castle, when the pit men of Northumberland have met to shriek over the passable success of a Northern horse in “’t coop.” Here we are, say on the top of the Czafewich stand, at the “turn of the lands.” AS members | of the press we are assigned a half of the sloping |‘of 1871 had very litte attraction roof along with the countiess trainers, Jockeys and stable attendants and crowds cf people whose claim to a place is extremely doubtful, the other half Deing occupied by members of the Jockey Club, ‘Right opposite to us, and far below on the other fide of, Ishould think, the broadest race-course in the world, is the judge's box, in which Mr. Clarke is | waiting patiently Jor the time. when te leaging horses rush past the post.

The net value of the stakes was £4,350, or $17,400, THE TIME, as taken by.Benson’s chronograph, was 1:57%.

THE FINANCIAL RESULT of the race was disastrous to the gene! y of backers who had entrusted King of the Forest and Sterling with immense sums of money, and to sev- eral of the leading betting men who had ‘made books” for one or other of these animals. Mr. Jardine himself speculates little, and is, con- sequently, apart from the status, not a large winner; but the bookmakers connected with te stable, principally Messrs. Whittaker, Stee! aud Plech, have won fortunes, The result, 80 far as the Derby betting is concerned, was that Bothwell ‘Was at once advanced to the position of first favorite and is now quoted at the short odds of 6 to 8; but Albert Victor, whose form on the running of last year appears almost as good, is quoted at 5 tol, while King of the Forest, though he appears to have no chance, finds friends at 10 to 1.

DuBLIN, April 25, 1871. ‘The Punchestown races, the great national sport, are over, and never did they afford less pleasure or amusement tran in the year 1871, They have been attended by gatherings larger and larger every year, and the gathering this year, there can be no doubt, wonld have been the largest of ail but for the inclemency of the weather. ‘The night before the races every hotel and private lodging in this city were filled by Englishmen, Munster farm- ers, Northern manufacturers, Galway fox hunters, Leinster grazters, Cork butter buyers, et hoc genus omne, all of whom were up betimes next’ morning and on to Punchestown. It raed a good deal during the night, and although the morning was fine, the large, black clouds that overhuag ‘he sky told the pleasure seekers plainly thata heavy day WAS IN STORE FOR THEM. Stil, nothing daunted, they drove off; not, be tt remembered, by train, aithough they had railway accommodation, but in drags and coaches drawn by Jour horses, Which appeared to me to be old-fasti- joned enough to have accommodated tnetr grand- fathers. ‘These sons of the soil had pienty of provisions, and, you may be sure, lows of the ‘native’ to boot, About eleven o'clock A. M. it commenced to pour in tor- rents, and the rain continued without cessauon until five o’ciock. Under these circumstances I need not describe the miserable condition of the spectators or the bad running made by the horses, The second day was almost as unpleasant as the first. and the spectators, as compared with those of former years, were comparatively icw. ‘The Lord Lieutenant was present both days, and his delicate- looking Countess had_ also the hardihood to brave the storm, though her Excellency has not been well lately.

MILLER'S MEANS. Newark’s Queer Will Case=The Legal Squabble Over a Deal Man’s Moacy De- cided. In Roseville—a Newark saburb—: there died an eiderly genueman named Isaac Miller, leaving properiy worth about $25,000. Some years prior to his death he gave each of three sons $1,000 and a daughter $599, taking the notes of each therefor, The notes were drawn up and endorsed in such an extraordinary manner as to leave it an open question whether the money was advanced as & present or AS part Of tae several mter- ests in the old gentleman's estate, Subsequent to his deain the other heirs agreed that the moucy aa- vanced to the four above denoted was part par- cel of their proportion, and should be deducted ace cordingly. To this the three sons and daughter demurred, and hence the matter was brought imo courte The case was fully argued at the trial some months ago, but tt was noi tll yesterday that a decision was rendered by Judge ‘Yeese. He held thatthe principal moneys repre- sevted by the notes were not “advancements” to une chtidren or to be accounted tor either as debts ¢ to the estate from them or to be credited on th legacies, and the exceptions to the executors’ ac counts were disallowed, In other words, it was de- cided that the advanced aor should be regarded as presents, f not as partof the will apportion- ments, year or 80 ago, AN ADDAGIOUS BIGAMIST.

Services at the Temple Eman- uel Yesterday. Sacrificial Worship Ignored—The Decalogue Si- lent Thereon—Sermon by Dr. Gutheim. A fine day drew a fine congregation together yes- terday to the beautiful Temple Emanuel in Fifth avenue, to whom was reada portion of the law from Leviticus, chapter ix., from which also Dr. Guthelm gubsequently discoursea, Aaron and his sons, he said, had performed their first sacrificial service, Sacrifices were first constituted in Israel in accordance with the spirit of the age and to sepa. rate the people of God from the tdolatrous practices Which prevatied in those days. It is remarkable fact that the Ten Commandments do not contain the slightest relerence, the most remote allusion, to sacrifiers. Tne second commandment may be cited in point:—“Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image or any like- hess of anything that 1s in heaven above or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth; thou shalt not bow down to them nor worship them, for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, vis- iting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My command- ments.” This conception of the Deity pre- cludes the idea of grossly material sacrificial wor- ship. This second commandment teaches full faitn and belief in one only living and true God, who cannot be itkened to anything in Heaven or on earth, and who must be worshipped tn spirit and in truth, No physical idea can represent Him whom no mortal eye hath seen or can see, And this fartit infiueaces our conception of God and the means whoa we adopt to wor-hip Him, and heace ele- vates our moral nature and encourages us aiid all the vicissitudes of lile. The Re HRATHEN HAD TEMPLES, ALTARS AND PRIESTS and priestesses to offer their sacrifices. Tney hud a two-fold ob in their sacrifices—namely, to pro- piuate their offended deity and to turn away its wrath from themselves to their enemies, In- deed, the most shocking rites were fre quently performed as they offered sacrifices to some tutclar deity, and even at this day we are shocked at many of their idolatrous acts, The immolation of Agamemnon’s daugiier Iphegenia is a case in point. And God, in warning Istaei against such practices, says that “even their sons and their daughters have they made to pass throngh the fire to provoke me to anger; tuey ha ve Sacrificed to devils and not to God.” But BLESSED KE OUR GOD who early separated us from these deluded ones aad hath given us a law of truth and love. To worship God 10 spiric and iv truth is only pos- sible when we conceive of Lifta as removed far above all haman ideas, forms and conceptions of Him. Worship such as that enjoined in the second commandment is consistent with intellectual creatures, and brings man into communion with the Most High, Who may thus be worshipped without temples or altars or priests or sacrifices—in spirit and in truth, sellefin a purely spiritual God has not only refined our worship, but has in a remarka- bie degree influenced our moral nature. A most Imporvant lesson 13 taught in the words * God “aee OREATED MAN IN IIS WN IMAGE.” ‘The heathen made gods after the image of men—ex- celling tn human virtues or in human frailties. 1t1s not to be considered possible that men could rise in i@ scale of humanity whose gods occupied so low a And surely & man must have considered hi:n- sell a paragon of excellence if he equalled those to Whom he patd homage. It is only by having tne Most Holy as a Father before our eyes that mai can aspire to moral excellence. And hence ever and anon this precept is Inculcatea, ‘* Be ye holy, for I the Lord” your God am holy!” Ever ana anon is taught the doctrine that faith and the performance of duty will Insure the favor of God, while sin and neglect will draw down the displeasure of the Holy One. And the second commandment, already quoted, shows that God ts @ jeatous God, who will not let the wicked go unpunished, but will punish the guilty even to we fourth generation. The true conception of God enables us to increase our moral power and evince our love in our intercourse with the world. It was impossible for the heathen, who WORSHIPPED A MULIIPLICITY OF GoDs, to have any true conception of the Deity. But far diferent was 1 with our fathers. Their God is one and indivisible, The language of Scripture is “itear, O Israel, the Lord our God is ove Lord, and thou shait love the Lord with all th mind and strength.” We can iove ou only as @ Father and acknowledge His univ th our {faith and worship. He looks upon the (ne universe as an object of great regard, and His perfections are but the nandmaids of Hts love. His omutpotence, omniscience and omnipresence are ali displayed in protecting those whom He loves aud warding Of whatever might endanger their happi- ness and welfare. And His love ts such that, though a mother may forget her sucking child, our Fatner can never forget His children, And this concepiton of the infinite love of God we draw from this Bible— the Old Testament. And as this love is universal, and is strewed broadcast over creauon, HOW GREAT MUST BE ITS INFLUENCE on our actions. Our souls must expand with Interest in whatever place we are occapted in God's mi- verge, and we must acknowledge the brothernood of mankind, Tuis thought inspired the propiiet Maia- cht to write—“Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously, every man agatnst his brother, by profaning the covenant of our Father?” As Israelites, then, we extend the hand of orother- hood to all mapkind—relation and stranger, high and low, rich and poor—all are included. Tne effects of faith in one God was further illustrated, and God's particalar care over individuals was proven by the quotation from tne Psalms:—“Grac.- ous is the Lord and righteous; yea, our God is merci- fol, The Lord preserveth the simple; I brougut low aud he hetped me,” and others, Whatever our Jot may be, we rely safely, said the Doctor, on our Heaveuly Father, and Kaow that | NO PERMANENT HARM CAN REACH US. We rely on his promise and ¢ to one creative, loving spirit. We look upon tis life and vhe future as oue harmonious whole, and the Keynote of our faith is, Hear, O Israel, te Lord our God is one Lord—one 10 sorrow and one tn joy, one m life and ae one m death from everlasting to everlasting. men. “Sacrifices and Symbols.” To Tik EpiTor OF THE Heratp:— It is surprising how an Israelite with the erudi- tion and acumen of Pr. Gutheiin could discourse so calmly and inconsistently as he did on a recent occasion on the subject of “Aacrifces and Symbols."? He calls the sacrificial ritual “a hollow fe hood.” Did God tasttute “a holiow faischood? or was it man’s insincerity that caused it to ve so to him?’ He says:—“The symbol has ceased tobe a type of whatit once was, and has become a dangerous onsiacle to true religion.” He says this, but does not prove it. He quotes Sam- vel:—“To ovey 48 better than sacrifice.” Aud so 10 is, 1f only @ comparison Is desired. But the obedi- ence docs not destroy the sacrifice; it is, M the ex- pression 18 allowable, simply a double sacrifice, or rather @ more efficacious sacriilce, from the ovedi- ence being added to the outward act of | wophip. The Doctor quotes other prophets—llo- xea, Amos and Mican—and shows that God rejected the offerings of His beiwved people—ihe offerings that He Himseif had institated. Bat why was this’ Lecause they were at the same time sacrific- lng to ld#@s, They were buraimg incense to Baal. ‘iiey Were laying imperfect and impure sacrifices on the altar of the living God—contrary to t.e ritual of sacrifices which the learned doctor professes to ex- pound for the edification of his hearers, Jeremiah speaks of the high places to Baal; Hosea speaks of their images and their high places in Aven, ahd the worship of Baal; Mica also reproves them for their idolatry and their hig! places, and Malacht reproves them for the same Amos says:—“i hate, { despise your feast day: But why? “Ye have borue we tanernacle of Moloch and Chinn, your images, the star of your God.” See also the promises in Jeremiah xvil, 24, 25 and 26 inclusive, to those who kept the Sabbath as If shoud be, that they should yet, in the future, ofer burnt offerings aid meat offerings, and incense and sacrifice of praise, Does this promise indicate that the system itself was hollow and liypoeritical? The Doctor's quotations and inferences were unfair, as he must well know the reasons why the sacrifices of Israel had become an “abomination” to the Lord. Of course, Christians believe that the Blessed Redeem- ers sacrifice Was ali-sumicient, and we require no more biood, a8 He fulfilled the law of sacrifice for us; Dnt, a8 the Doctor does not belleve with ns, how can he deny that the remoyal of the sceptre and the sac- rifice from Jerusalem has been the punishment of disobedience and idolatry! How can he preach for the caification of the chosen race, who have, with all their matertal wealth, no city to call their own-— the weary-footed wanderers of nearly 2,000 years? How can he preach to them, instead of the “ Hope of Israel,” the “Coming of the Messiah,’ the future glory of their nation, @ cold and dismal necossisy? GH. Hy THE JEWS’ RIOTS AT ODESSA.
