ENGLAND. Who Washington Treety—Scenes in the House of Lords—A Suilden Collapse— General Schench’s Letter Settles the Question. Lonpon, June 8, 18 Fhe appearanco which the Mouse of Lords pre- ented on last Thursday night was most animated. Bvery one expected a continuation of the debate— begun on Tuesday—on the Washington Treaty, and ® division, which would probably have brought | @efeat to the government, and, perhaps, extinction to the treaty. Let me first take up the debate at the point at which it stopped on Tuesday night. Whe great point on which the opponents @f the government relicd in Tuesday night's @ehate was that the supplemental article vague and ambiguous; that it did not le, beyond all question, the indirect claims. n the one hand, the government said, “You want olga te naegee binding us not to goon with arbitration unless the indirect claims are ‘withdrawn, but the supplemental article already Sees withdraw these claims. What, then, is the ‘gee of your resolution?” On the other hand, the ambiguity which, according to the opposition lords, wxisted in the supplemental article rendered Meceasary the precaution of binding the govern- ment. This is the point at which the debate of ‘Waenday left us, and on Thursday the same style of @rguinent was doubtless about to be pursued, when | A LETTER FROM GENERAL SCHENCK @ell Hike a bombshell into the midst of the noble yerds, and at once brought the whole controversy ‘*oaconclusion. The question at issue was:—Does “the supplemental article, or does it not, exclude the $ndirect claims? General Schenck’s letter says “No,” and then, of course, all further arguing ‘of ‘the question is waste of breath. ‘The noble lords Seccordingly decided to adjourn sine @ie.a discussion ‘bat had now become useless. -Lappend a description of the scene and a report | ‘of the proceedings from the Times:— THE HOUSE OF LORDS LAST NIGHT. ‘The scene in the House, from the moment when Meir lordships assembled till even after the ad- Journment, was one of the most interesting and ex- ES that has been witnessed for a long time. re was & large attendance of peers when Lord by rose to read Sir Stafiord Northcote’s explana- tion; and among the Privy Councillors who crowded ‘the space around the throne was Sir Stafford him- As 800n as Lord Derby had resumed his seat, rd Granville rose with a beam of satisfaction on is face ; but not till he had made his few prefatory observations, and had announced the receipt of General Schenck’s letter, did he display the docu- ment itself.

When he had concinded a meral cheer was raised, and then, from all sides, re was the half audible inquiry, “Where's Rus- pell?” Lord Grey was proceeding to comment on the diMculty to which Lord Russeli’s absence gave wise, when Lord Bessborough whispered something So his ear which evidently broke the thread of his eommentary, and which was generally understood to be an tntimation that Lord Russell was within the qprockagte of the building, All eyes were turned the bar, which at that moment Lord Houghton was approaching, and several Pee exclaimed, ‘Here lie is.” Lord Grey paused, bu when the mistake was discovered he resumed, briefy recommend an adjournment.

Many of my friends, he wrote, believe and tm. press npon me that the Emperor is personally op- posed to me. First, because when he came to power as President of the republic [ declined the honor of being attached to his person; second, be- cause he looks upon me as an Orleanist; third, be- cause I published a book on the army which greatly displeased him, I think, then, 1 am authorized in stating tat tl Emperor is well disposed towards m® Here is a souvenir introdaced with a a object, which will be readiiy understood, have no children, but I had, in 1866, six brothers and sisters, having between them tw state living children, all of whom were, like myself, without fortune. One of my brothers principal oficer in one of the Departments of War— died that same year, leaving me his widow and eleven children, among whom were seven unimar- ried daughters and four little children. I adopted this family, and obtained for it from the State a to- bacco ofiice for the widow, a relief from the Légion d’onneur for the daughters, and a rellef from the Minister of War for all. I was at Rennes after the death of my brother, when a stranger presented himselt with’ the Emperor's compliments to my wife, who was in Paris, placed in her hands the sum of 20,000f. for the widow and her orphans and begged her to sign the receipt. Although surp d and hesitating, Mme. Trochu gave her signature and in- formed me immediately afterwards. On the follow ing day J arrived tu Paris, and by the medium ofmy old friend, General de Glanbert, Aide-de-Camp of tho peror, I was introduced to his Majesty. “Sire,” Isaid to him, “the Emperor has heard of the trials which have been sent to me, and he has desired to heip me tn a manner which fills me with gratitude; but Ihave Cand obtained from the Emperor and his government the grants of assistance to which the widow and her children were entitled by law.

I withdrew, leaving, under his eyes on the table over which he was leaning, the bank notes sent the evening before to my wife. This account does not contain anything new as regards the well-known liberality Of the Emperor; but it proves that, in spite of the bad political reputation which has been Psa to me_ by his courtiers, he had great good eeling towards me. I have, however, a motive, which I must not dissimulate, in telling this story. It occurred to me just as 1 was refecting on my political and military testament.

The Irritation produced in Bilboa, which I noted in my last, has wonderfully subsided. I know not what charm there be in the persuasion of Serrano, but it 19 a fact that the public functionaries who went out so cock-a-whoop to sce him at his head- quarters at Zomoza and to present their resigna- tions to him, in view of his “leniency to the Car- lists,’ and who went out with all the fary of Hons, returned with all the meekness of lambs. First of all came back the Civil Governor and instantly re- sumed his functions, He was “mum” as to what passed. Ali he would say was, he was “satisfled.” ‘then came the Députacion Provincial. They, too, declared themselves “satisfled’’—at least for the present, Lastly came the Ayuntamiento, or corpo- ration, These were a divided body, some accept- ing Serrano’s explanations, others demurring and persisting in resigning their posts, WHAT PASSED between the Duke de la Torre and these Bilboa authorities is at present a deep secret. Their ac- count is that the Duke gave them the reasons, mill- tary and politic, which led him to throw down the olive branch of peace to the Carlists rather than the gauntlet of war, and, as an act of special grace, supplicated them to return to thelr posts for ten days, and during that time to keep in complete reserve the nature of their conference with him, ‘There Is more honor among these simple Basques | than among the swell politicians of Madrid.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 22, 1872, It was not pleasant to traverse on Monday last the streets which lead through Galata from Dolma paghtché Palace to the bridge. They are narrow enough any day, but they shrink to mere gaspipes on days of festivity, State show, or religious spree. | The particularly offensive feature in the highways in question on Monday, apart from the strings of carriages running along like war chariots, with laughing cargoes of corpulent beauties, fashing eyes and scintillating jewels; apart from the lines of troops which stood at ease in either gutter; apart trom a perepiring and fragrant crowd that occupied the trottoirs; apart from the palace aide-de-camps, richly bound in blue cloth and gold, and the palace servants who ever and again came tearing at full gallop over the pavement, shouting “Guarda!” or “Sa-oul!’ and scattering the folks abont as the Water scatters when you throw a stone Into a poddle—apart from ail these, the greatest were rows of sand-laden carts which hurried along the streets, shovel-armed hamalls mounted therein and spread- ing the sand thick over the ground, raising a fearful dust, which would have been insupportable if the gaping populace on elther ‘side had not consid ately swallowed a large proportion of it. Severely jostied, and my corns treated with an amount of disrespect that was at once painful and humiliating, I became alive to the fact thatit was A GREAT FESTIVAL} that lwas, or ought to be, enjoying myself su- premely, and that if I did not come to an untimely end beneath hoofs or wheels, sand carts or blaz- oned carriages I would shortly feast my eyes sublime countenance and portly, though 5 au abby, form of His Imperial Majesty the Khaliph of the Osmanilis, the first Imaum of Islam, Abdul Aziz, Suitan of these realms. Sorely flattened out by compression I was fast coming to the condition of the mignonette in the hymn-book of mny ‘and- mother (of blessed memory) when I bethought me that from my own oijce windows I might see the whole sight without detriment to the rotund con- tour of my figure or that pecutiar self-esteem which has its seat at the root of one’s corns. It isriglt to mention that it was THE GREAT MUSSULMAN FESTIVAL OF THE MERLUD, anniversary of the birthday of the Prophet, whichis eh a observed with as much pomp as the ingenu- ity of the Minister of the Civil List can devise and all the military display that can be extracted from the household brigade. The séte had begun on the previous evening, when oll the mosques und public uildings, besites a large number of private houses, all the way from Eyoub, on the Golden Horn, to Cavak, On the Upper Bosphorus, were briftiantly illuminated, as well as the phips- ol-war lying the imperial palace. Now, the reason of all the turmoll which Milled the streets of Galata on that sacred Monday forenoon lay in the fact that the Sultan had fixed that day to hold a rikaab In the gardens of the old seragiio palace; arikaab being a reception of Ministers when the Osmanii statesmen put on their gold lace and their diamonds and go and kiss the edge of the skirt of His Majesty’s black paletot, as he sits in his gilt chair under the shade of the alianthes in the gar- den. To this scene were trooping the womankind im thelr carriages, fat, smooth-skinned, soft and pearly-hued, bright feridyis enveloping their voluptuous forms, @ summer haze of tincst muslin floating around their faces, softening every feature but the free-fasling eyes; the troops were waiting to salute the Sultan, the crowd to see the fun, and the sandmen were so many John the Baptists pre- paras tne way before their lord, that his august bones might not be too rudely jolted over the rough paving which is good enough for all but him, There were files of troops marching and artillery ins Inmbering and thundering over the wooden bridge, the gaunt Hongarian horses, frightened by their own noise, bounding forward pnd thrown on their haunches by the rude check of the cruel Arab bit; bands were playing and, above all the din, came at last the shrill bray of the trumpets, which announced that THE IMPERIAL CORTEGE in sight, and shortly afterwards the ontriders, in scarlet and gold costumes, came curvetting round the corner on their Arab horses, whom they fretted and spurred till the high-bred animals were half mad with excitement end tossed the foam fakes over their arched crests, snorting and tramping with short and nervous gallop. Up the steep approach to the bridge the | party burst into) a galiop, and one vider was thrown. Then the Sultan’s carriage came, drawn by four splendid grays, a postillion on the leaders in black velvet and embroidery. His Majesty sat inside with stolid and imdifferent face, his knees wide apart, and a large, fat, outspread hand resting on either knee, He wore a plain loose coat of black cloth, loose white trousers, and the Order of the Osmanié in brilliants on his breast. The roar and rumble then dwindled away, and the dusty throng in lata adjourned to the cafés to wash out their parched throats with sherbet, while His Majesty we , received the homage of his Ministers, went to mosque, lunehed, turning towards four o'clock in all stately gpm, with trumpet and drum, dust, scramble and crowd. THE LATEST is that the Sultan, who has just gone to occupy | his new palace at Jeheragan, has discovered that that of Dolma Baghtché is too low, and has decided on adding another story to {t—a work which will | take several years to accomplish, and several hun- | dred thousand pounds of the taxpayers’ money.

Annual Commencement Yesterday—The Academy of Music Filled with a Criti- cal and Fashionable Audicnee—Bril- Mant Display of the Students, The annual commencement of the New York Uni- versity was celebrated yesterday morning in the Academy of Music, Dr, Howard Crosby, Chancellor, in the chair, The parquet and balcony were densely crowded with a highiy fashionable audience, and the boxes presented 4 dazzling array of neauty, bouquets, and bewitching toilets. The interior of the building was fragrant with the sweet perfume of flowers, and an excellent band furnished delightful music, > The year that has just clored has been a very suc- cessful one with the University, the number of pupils having been larger than in any previous one, and the proficiency obtained much greater, Twelve months ago the classes in science and art were made free and thrown open to all students of the University, and the result has been most gratifying to those who brought the generous edict Into oper- ation, The programme of yesterday, was very attractive, and was rendered in splendid style by all who par- tleipated in It. ‘The exercises were opened with the overture to “Banditen Struche,” and the “Russian March,” by the band. Prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Ferries, the former President of the University, after which the Latin Salutatory oration was de- livered by Maybury W. Fleming, of New York city, and the English Salutatory oration by William Chipman, Jr., New York city. Both were creditable productions of their Kind and elicited markea ap- plause and showers of bougnets, One of Strauss’ enchanting waltzes was then played, at the con- clusion of which George D. Rockwell, of Hoboken, held forth on “Public Opinion.’ He was followed by Albert A. Loring, of New York city, who spoke on “Furnace Fires,” eloquently describing the es- tablishment of Christianity, the spread of civil and religious freedom, and the varions celebrated strug- gles for liberty in various nations of the world, The delivery of this oration was marked with ease and grace, and, in many respects, might be called the gem of the day. William H. Atwood, Jersey City, next delivered a philosophical address—“The Railin Civilization”— which was a review of the influence railroads have exercised on the progress of the world. They have annihilated space, lessened toil, increased manu- factures, founded empires and peopled deserts, Without them England and America would never have become the great commercial centres of the world; so the discovery of George Stephenson marked a new era in the history of mankind, This address was neatty prepared and well detivered, and was rewarded with flowers, applause and smiles from the ladies, though the recipient of them could not be called the handsomest man in the Academy. ‘The progress of international law was treated by Frank M, Tappan, of Port Richmond, in a logical and masterly style, the principles upon which the law is founded and the obligations that sustain it being ay detailed, It rests upon no fixed princi- ple nor historical ewes but is dependent upon the mutual understanding and goed faith that exist between civilized nations. ita provisions are becoming more and more understood every year, and by its diffusion bids fair at no distant day to abolish the causes of the world strife and war. (Applause and bouquets.) Another valse, by Suppe, was here performed by the band, and when the strains had dled away Charles M. Goelz, of Hoboken, pro- peak upon, singularly apropds_sub- joct—“ The Kight-Hour law.” He said that among the most important and deeply interesting ques- tions of the time was the relation between capital and labor, In this country, where there is no aris- tocracy of rank or birth, as in the countries of Eu- Tope, capital is the all-potent power, and what is capital but the collection of the proceeds of labor? The question of the eight-hour rule, which is now agitating the working community, and which has already lost to employers and men millions of dol- lars, like any other problem, presents two sides. ‘That the demand of the workingman is right no one can deny, but the proper course to obtain a recog- nition of that right is not by violence or strikes, but by mutual compromise and con- cession. If the workmen would employ the leisure time he asks in — useful” pur- suits and tye acquisition of knowledge, the result would be beneficial to the entire community ; if not, his liberty might prove rather a curse than a bleas- ing. ‘There were indications that a terrible strife was pending between the two great social forces in the near future, but it was to be hoped that legislation, reason and forbearance would eventu- ally humanize them and prevent a disruption of the system of political economy. William B. Hind, Jr., of Brooklyn, came next on “science and Religion,” inferring that there was no antagonism between the two, but, on the contrary, an entire harmony. The discovertes of geology had not weakened the Bible, and the researches of men like Hugh Miller had gone far to demonstrate and simplify the Biblical account of the creation. Religion had nothing to fear from science, or sclence from re.- gion. Hand in hand they could go on together, ministering to each other. ‘This speaker was a tall, good looking young fellow, and on leaving the stage almost staggered beneath tho weight of the floral favors that were rained upon him. Israel Russell, of Jersey City, a natty little gra- duate, followed on ‘American Character.” ‘The leading national characteristic traits were fairly presented, and the enterprise, energy and dash of the American race, contrasted with the slower and | more phlegmatic habits of the people of European | countries. Other orations were delivered by John ’, Cozzens, of Brooklyn, and Frank Crowell, of the same city, The band played Strauss’ masterpiece, “The Thousand and One Nights,” and the Valedic- tory address, with an oration on “Hereafter,” was given by Marcus. D. Buell, of Williamsburg, who thus carried off the honors of the day, The valedictory was a graceful and feeling composition, and was very pleasingly spoken, Highly complimentar references were made to the Chancellor, Council and Professors for the zeal and efiiciency they dis- played during the year in advancing the interests of those committed to their charge, and an affec- tionate farewell taken of the Class of 1872, The youthful graduate retired amid general applause, and the most interesting — pa PN ed the testimonial of the Fellowships, onors and degrees was now proceeded wit.

Dr. John Hall, who beseeched the Giver of Ali Good to look down benignly upon the occasion and strengthen the weak and make the downcast joy- ful, so that the exercl4es might redonnd to the greater honor and plory of God, The anthem, ‘fow Beautiful upon the Moun- tains,” by the graduating 8, which preceded the prayer, was excellent! rendered, This was followed by an address in French, by one of the raduates, which certainly did no credit to the French teacher of the institu- tion. There was no doubt a good deal of ‘will’ in the delivery of the address, but very little “way’’ acquired by study and practice, The essays, ‘Te Effects of Natural Scenery on the Human Mind,” by Mary M. Bell; “Sculpture,” ‘Authors of their own Destiny,” “Concentration of Mind,” “The Progress of Geological Science,” “Appearances,” “Sclave or Saxon,” were all that could be desired, Miss Bell’s ‘Simple Pleasures” deservedly: brought down the house, and the essay about ‘Interpre- ters” was certainly one of the chief features of the occasion. Miss Charlotte C, Hall’s “Woman in Literature” was a masterly, or, rather, a superb woman’s effort of its kind, ‘The “Power of Charac- ter,” by Miss Maria W. Puget, was a well studied effort, and the Latin essay, ‘Marius Amid the Ruins of Carthage,” would have done credit to a philoso- hical adept in the “ways of the olden time,” as | ustrated by our later lranklins of the Latin order in Columbia and Yale, The French essay, “Ce qui coute le plus cher aux hommes,’ which was deliv- ered ¥ Miss Hattie Webster, was a very good thing in its point of moral, but it must be confessed that the Frenchism, 80 to speak, of the delivery was sadly wanting. Miss Ella 'l. Holden's ‘Weapons of Civilization” was one of the really deserving essays of the day. Miss Hall's valedictory address wis well selected and did full Justice to the departure occasion, The instrumental and vocal music was throughout of the highest character. At the conclusion of the regular exercises Bacca- laureate degrees were conferred upon tho following named members of the graduating class:—Helen Jaques Aitkin, Minnie Adelaide Ayres, Mar. Middieton Bell, Sarah Armstrong Bell, Sarah Annie Crouthers, Mary Flagler Dodge, Charlotte Chambers Hall, Ella Thuwer Holden, Alice Emmons Stevens, Grace Lilian Stevens, Hattie Luella Webster, Sarah Mann Wilbur, Marie White du Puget.

The sixteenth annual commencement of Seton Hall College took place yesterday, the exercises being conducted bencath a large awning spread in the college grounds not fur from the buildings, Nearly a thousand ladies and gentlemen, friends of the students or of the institution, occupied seats in front of the platform, on which were seated the students who were to take a part in the exercises, atid the clergy. Of the latter, be- sides the Right Rev. Bishop Batley, who presided, there were present the Right Rev. Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester; Right Rev. Bishop McFarland, of Providence; Rev. Dr. MeGlynn, Rev.

M. with music, and the following students then | delivered orati i—Joseph Tiers, on “National Development;” J. Li nC, Carnand, on shion- able Fascinations;” Robert Emmet Burke, on | “Cardinal Ximenes;” P. McCabe, on “Political De- pravity,” and Join A. Sheppard, on “The Good Things of Great Joy.” These essays were unexcep- | tionably good, and were especially noticeable | for the absence of much of the highfalutin jingle which generally gocs to make up| the student's oration, The little there was of the grandiloquent went more to show the existence of & good imagination than to exhibit a distorted no- tion of what true eloq: nce is, Each of the five oe gentlemen who widressed the assemblage has acquired an excellent method of delivery, with nothing of sameness in style, and all well deserved the ae they received from delighted friends and the audience generally, BACHELORS OF ART. The orations having been concluded, the next part of the pi ‘amme was the conferring of the degrees, The Kev.

BISHOP BAYLEY’S ADDRESS. After all the honors had been distributed and the programme concluded Bishop Bayley made a brief address to the assemblage. He said that while he might be unwilling here to say too iw lege in which he took so deep an interes not refrain from saying that it had never before been in so good a condition as it was now. Tt was true that) much had been done by us itn the way of Catholic education, and that all over the land there were good schools in which Catholic youth could receive a sound moral course of instruction, But he thought, even with all this, that more might be done. We needed that both the clergy and the laity should be educated up to a high standard, the former not i Improvement Bruner; Penman- enney; best recita- the President’s prize, | only in all that related to his sacred oMce, but also in the aris and sclences, at least so that the principles on which these studies rested should bo — understood and appreciated, And none the less aid the laity heed such a sound moral training and proficiency in education as would enable the battle of life to be fought and the errors disseminated by our adver- saries dete He ad in his own diticult (hing to kill a he, A lie seemed to have so many lives that, no matter how often it was ap- parently dead, you were certain finally to discover thatit had got a new life and was again on its way | rejoicing, Since the time of the Reformation we had been accustomed to see this going on, and not- | withstanding the fact that many of the leaders of diversaries had, as completely as we ourselves had, exposed the falsehoods and ridiculed the calumnies against the true faith, yeu the falsehoods had been revivified, dressed up aud again and again paraded with extraordinary eifrontery.

He confessed that this ignorance, real or feigned, this lie, had caused him . The bishop ‘then went on to speak farther of the | malignant character of the attacks upon the Church by means of lies and how necessary it was | to be prepared to meet the enemy when such scandalous methods as these were used to prop up ‘a bad cause in the name of God and of religion, He then again urged the claims of Seton Hall Colle r patronage, promising t in the perfect condi fon in which all its departments were, and in the care 1 exposed, stowed upon the institution, no better home coul found for youth in which to learn, The ‘hgh warmly applauded at the con- cyaion ‘il mar Ang sue agpomplone sup entered the colle; where a = sai refectories, ETON HALL.

The trot was between Ty Jackson’s bay gelding Mystery and Hiram Howe's chestnut gelding. The latter was the favorite at three to one previous to the start, but, being beaten by Mystery the first heat, the lattcr became the favorite at still greater odds. The sorrc} geld ing pulled up lame after the first heat, but he seemed to forget his pains for the moment and trotted gamely the second heat, winning in fine style. He, however, pulled up so lame at the en@ of the heat that many of his humane backera urged his withdrawal from the contest. He made o dead heat with Mystery the third time, and then the betting became even on the result. Mystery now trotted gamely and won the race by fifty yards, He isa handsome horse, sired by Hambletonian, out of a thoroughbred mare, and was formerly owned by Simeon Hoagland, who called the horse Bill Wnoe- lan. This horso has considerable speed, but he likewise has a temper, like many others of his blood, and the tendency to gallop seems to be up- permost in the horse, as he leaves his trot at a three minute gait as lrequently as he does at one of 2:40, He is not a reliable horse to stake money on, but would make a gentleman's horse for the road which many would envy, The following are the details o} VHE ‘TROT. First Heat.—The sorrel gelding was the favorite at three to one previous to the start. He took the lead at the stand and was two lengths in front as they entered the turn, and six lengths on the lead at the quarter pole, in forty seconds. The sorrel gelding then broke up and was only two lengths in front at the half-mile pole, In 1:21. Going along the lower turn my ateny, shut up all the daylight, and, the sorrel gelding breaking up, Mystery bd two lengths ahead at the three-quarter pole. ‘Tite lat- ter then broke up and the sorrel came again to the front, and leading up the homestretch assed under the string six lengths in advance of Mystery 2:43, Mys! closed up three lengths of the six on the turn, an was three lengths behind at the quarter pole, but after that he shut the daylight gradually, until the horses Were on even terms as they neared the half mile pole. Then both of them broke up simul- tancously, and as the half-mile pole was passed the sorrel gelding. led two lengths, Going down toward the lower turn Mystery outtrotted thé sor- rel, and he was two lengths in front at the 'three- quarter pole, when, coming steadily on, he won the heat bya couple of eng eee the second mile in 2:46 and the heat in 6:29, / Second Heat.—Mystery was now the favorite at longer odds than was his adversary before the start, 100 to 20 being current on the result. The sorrel had two lengths the best of the send-off, which he made into six lengths around the turn, and ten at the quarter pole, in thirty-nine seconds, Going to the half-mile pole the sorrei gelding opened @ gap almost equal to a distance, and the bettin changed s0 much in favor of the sorrel that almost, even betting was offered that he would win the heat. The sorrel kept fifty Phd nee to the three- quarter pole, but th coming up the str behind when the sorrel passed under the string, in 2:40, Then Mystery began to lag again, and sou} around the turn he feil off so badly that the: sorre gelding was forty yards ahead of bim at the quar- ter pole, Mystery did not close up any of tac day- light to the half-mile pole, and odds were them offered that the sorrel would win the heat. My#- tery closed down the lower turn and came along nicely until at the drawgate he left his feet, and the sorrel went home a winner by three lengths, making the last mile in 2:44); and the heat in 6:31. Hi pulled up the lamest horse that was ever seen in @ race, Third Heat.—Mystery was still the favorite, as it was fled fot to be impossible for so lame a horse ag the sorrel was to trot another heat. He, however, came out so well and appeared so fresh when the bell called them to the scratch that his friends had: great faith in him, and, to the astonishment of great many, he became the favorite at 100 to 90, good start was had, but going around the turn the sorrel led three lengths, an the quarter pole was four lengths in front. Mystery then broke up,. as he will do whenever he likes, without saying ‘by your lave.”’ He lost twenty lengths by the break, and was fifty yards behind at the half-mile pole. Mystery broke twice to the three-quarter is the sorrel gelding passed the he was ten lengths in front. Going round the upper turn Mystery closed gradu- ally, and at the half-mile pole was not over five lengths behind. Then the sorrel broke up, and be- fore he recovered Mystery also left his feet, and they ran together several lengths. When ‘they caught Mystery was in front, and at the three- quarter pole he was four lengths ahead. Goin, up the homestretch the sorrel was finely driven, an he was forced along finely to the end. Mystery yas one length in front at the finish, but the p: re of the outsiders seemed to intimidate, ov other- wise affect the * minds so that they decided. a dead heat, » 5:31. Fourth Heat.—The betting was about even when the horses started for this heat, The start was an even one, but they both broke up before getting around the upper turn. When they settled and be- Do trotting the sorre! gelding had a length or 80 he best of it. At the quarter pole he was two lengths in front, in forty-three seconds, but not quite so much at the half-mile, in 1:24, Mystery then broke up, but recovering quickly trotted finely down the lower turn and was two lengths abead at the three-quarter pole. He came steadily alon: and passed under the wire at the end of the first mile four lengths ahead of the sorrel gelding, who now appeared to be fagged out. steky then went away from the sorrel, opening the gap scradu- ally until, at the half-mile pole, he was flity yards in. front. He never afterwards lost a length of ground, and won th by fifty yards, making the last mile in 2:45, and the heat in $330, The follow- ing is a SUMMARY.
