WORTH CAROLINA A Spirited but Peaceful Elec- tion Yesterday. LARGE CONSERVATIVE GAINS. | . The Result Unknown, but Pro- bable Republican Defeat. t Great Excitement All the Districts. in Partial Returns from Four- teen Counties. Lonservative Gain of 1,470 Over the Vote of {870. : Raxeiay, N. 0., August 1, 1872, The election is over, and notwithstanding tho statements of the New York republican organ’s cor- fespondent here that there would be one hundred Yights, not a single disturbance occurred in the Btate. It was the most peaceful election that has en place since the close of the war, the unusual ‘quiet of this city being like that of aSabbath, Both the parties—easily distinguished by their color— ‘rent quietly to the polls and voted. The only cir- jumstance worthy of note that I saw in the casting ‘of the ballots was that when the negroes handed in their four tickets to be deposited in the four ballot boxes—one for the State oficers, one for Congress- men, one for member of the Legislature and one for eriff and county oiicers—the radical judges pened the ballots and after inspecting them it them in the respective boxes, By this ans it was impossible for a poor darky to vote the conservative ticket without exposure, ‘which would bring down upon hts devoted head the anathemas of the black mob without. Some thirty Megroes, however, are reported to have voted the conservative ticket, but they were men who knew ‘how to place thelr ballots. At Ralesville, in this county, twelve negroes voted for Merrinfon, end @imilar reports come from other precincta, REPBATING ‘was tried in several instances to-day, one of which me under my notice. Alfred Brown, a negro, “voted early this morning; in the afternoon the Mame of Alfred Hayward was discovered on the Fegistration books not voted. The republicans at nce sent for Brown, and would have persuaded ‘him to vote again for Hayward, who has left the ‘ity, but that he was too intelligent and honest to it. ‘In Clayton township, Johnston county, a conser- ‘Wative gain of thirty is reported. At Weldon fifty imported negroes were successfully challenged and jt allowed to vote, and a conservative gain of 100 4s reported from that point. The republican majority in this city, it Is said, will be reduced by 250, and it is thought this may ‘arry the county, heretofore republican, for the Lonservatives, though two other townships are re- Ported to Lave given small republican gains, SAMBO QUIET AND ANXIOUS. A noticeable fact is that in all previous elections, ‘ap to this honur—nine P, M.—the negroes could ‘be heard cheering and exulting vocilerously all ver the city. To-nigit not a cheer is heard a victorious note as the various ut conflicting reports are announced, There will ‘be no means at hand to-night sufictent to conjec- _ ture the general result. The news received by the ‘conservatives appegrs to be satisfactory; and I have failed to discover any favorable symptoms ‘Bmong the republicans, It will be past midnight ‘before the votes are counted at any precinct, and ‘at that honr it will be almost impossible to hear from points at a distance. EX-GOVERNOR HOLDEN'S ESTIMATE. Ex-Governor Holden to-day said the State would QO 92,000 conservative and 92,000 republican, but his stim ate will fall short of the vote and hardly cor rect as to the partics, ih THE ELECTION RETURNS, Three precincts heard from in Wayne, Craven ‘and Guilford counties give conservative gains of 870, ‘ High Point, Guilford county, gives a conservative gain of 58. ‘ The Congressional vote at Greensboro gives a re- ‘publican gain of 41. Company Shops, Alamance county, gives thirty- one conservative majority. Eight townships heard from give conservative gains on the vote of 1870 of six hundred and ninety- two, and give the repnblicans gains ot two hun- ‘ered and eighteen, on the same vote as when the conservative ticket was elected by five thousand majority. Davidson county gives a conservative gain of forty. Fourteen towns and precincts in, all heard from, give conservative gains of nearly one thou- sand. , Rowan county gives 450 conservative majority, a oss of 136. Mecklenburg county gains 125 for the conserva- tives. "Graven county gives a reptbiican gain of 286, Halifax county gives a conservative gain of 75, Edgecombe county gives a consérvative gain of Wilson county gives ® conservative majority of 200. Durham township gives a conservative majority ‘of 126, Nash county gives a conservative majority of 67. Fourteen voting places give conservative gains on the 1870 vote of 1,470, and republican gains of 275. | At Thomasville, Davidson county, there is 150 Tepublican majority. Northampton county—Conservative gain, 125, Another account gives the republicans a gain of in Craven county. | Henderson township—A conservative gain of fifty five, Northwest township, Brunswick county, gives Merrimon a gain of 34 votes on the vote of 1870. Warsaw, Duplin county, gives Merrimon 184; Caldwell, 143; a small conservative gain. Merri> Mon gains 200 in Raleigh. ~ Liberty gives a conservative gain of 56; Rocky Mount, 31; Enfeld, 33. Returns from Columbus indicate a considerable ‘conservative gain, Magnolia gives 18 egnservative ain ; Goldsboro gives 125 gain. Watson county gives 200 majority for Merrimon. Wake Worest gives Merrimon 100 gain. Nothing ts yet decisive, though the chancos are In favor of the election of Merrimon. Wako, Forest township, This county gives a con- servative gain of 110, . This city gives 543 republican majority—a repub- ican loss of 200 on the vote of 1870, and the county ‘will probably give 150 republican majority. ( QGabarrus county gives a conservative gain of 250 dn nine townships, Caswell county clects the county conservative ticket, with State ticket doubtful, Four precincts in Rockingham county give 356 conservative majority—a large gain, Davidson county gives an increased conservative majority, . There is a probable conservative gain in Worren county of 200. A majority of these returns are from the East where the republican strength lies, and the gains are estimated on the vote of 1870, when the conservatives carried the State by nearly 5,000, ‘The republicans will carry the First and Second Congressional «istricts, Leech, conservative Congressional nomince, is reported clected in the Filth district, The Furth is doubifyl, while the Third, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth will elect the consétva- tive candidates. There are very few returns re- ceived at republican headquarters, and these on.y give their gaine. The indications at midnight are that if the counties west of the Blue Ridge give any considerable gain on the vote of 1870 Merrimon wit! be elected by a handsome majority, but returns are so meagre that it is hard to judge. To-morrow will bring in more and full republican returgs from the Eastern counties, where there are heavy negro majorities, grhich may possibly change the present aspect of the election, be THE LATEST NEWS that Ican gather is that the incomplete returns received from twenty counties give 2,000 conserva- tive gains and 6,200 republican gains. The tele- graph- office has been thronged the entire night with an eager and interested crowd of whites, who cheered enthusiastically at the announcement of each vote. STILL LATER NEWS. Witainaron, N. 0., August 2—2 A. M. But few additional returns have been re- ceived, but it is conceded here by nearly all the leading men of both parties that Merrimon has carrted the State. The latest just recelved from Concord says that in twelve townships in. Cabarrus county Merrimon has a gain of 203 on the vote of 1870. A few repub- licans here say the result is doubtful. The Star estimates that Merrimon’s majority will be about five thousand. The Journal's estimate is a little Nigher. The Post, & republican paper, concedes that Mer- rimon is elected by a small majority. ANXIETY IN WASHINGTON. Wasuinaton, August 1, 1872, Unusual interest was manifested in the election returns from North Carolina to-night, and at mid- night there is still a large gathering in Newspaper Row to hear the latest returns. It 1s conceded in administration quarters that the defeat of the repub- hican ticket in North Carolina will endanger the prospects of President Grant's re-election. THE LIBERAL READQUARTERS. The Unexpected Victory in North Carolina—Ju- Dilation at the Liberal and Democratio Headqnarters—Ethan Allen’s Hand- springs—Depression Among the Grant Men—How Bets Range. All the political headquarters were in a state of fermentation yesterday. The news from North Carolina was looked for with feverish impatience. Arrangements were made some days ago by which Colonel Allen, at the Glenham House headquarters, was to be kept regularly informed by telegraph of the progress of the election, but it was not until late in the evening that any despatches of moment arrived. Tho State of North Carolina is not riddled with telegraph lines and railroads like most of the States further cast, and the diffusion of intelligence throughout tt 1s more diiicult, probably, than in any’ other State of the Union, At the Glenham headquarters a feverish and impatient group surged backward and forward all day. Among the more distinguished visitors were General Carlos Butterfleld, ex-Senator J.J, Stewart,General M. T. McMahon,General L. Poge Walker, ex-Secretary of War of the Confederacy; Willam Z. D. O'Grady, Secretary of the Irish Brigade Association; General Slocum, Mr. Mat. Martin, of Ohio; Colonel Alexander McClure, of Pennsylvania; Sinclair Tousey, J. H. Livingston, of Philadelphia ; Hugh Cameron, of Lawrence, Kansas; Judge Henry Jones, of Georgia; Colonel Looney, of Tennessee; Judge Berry, of California; Augustus Sears, ex-Governor Hebert, of Louisiana; Augustus Havilland, of Chicago; IL. 1. Swords, of Louisiana: Mr. Washington Hils, Jr.; Judge G. H. Giddings, 0! Texas} Colonel Billy Wilson, Engene Beebe, Sam Brower, 'T. C. Everts, Professor Jackson, of Tarry- town; John R. Stuart, David Davis and dozens of others. These gentlemen kept up an animated hubdbub all the evening waiting for the sound of the guns in North Carolina, Professor Jackson, whose smile is as aca | 8 a summer shower, was very hopeful. “ft woulc be almost too good if we carricd the State,” said he “It would be magnificent!” Everts suggested that they might even consent to get tight on the strengthof it, and the Professor, a Reverend at that, conld hardly find it in his heart to gainsay the proposition. THE RECKEITION OF BANKS’ LETTER warmed the cockles of everybody's heart, and the good nature increased, except on the part of Allen, who is never enthusiastic on any subject, and who complacently remarked in regard to Banks that he knew it three weeks ago. Allen ts one of those men whose facility for knowing everything before- hand never fatis nim, “Its as ge as the best North Carolina victory,” said one. Despatches were delayed and the impatience of the groups increased. At ten o'clock Allen called the committee to order and read the followmg:— FIRST GUN FROM NORTIC CAROLINA. Abbotsford, near Wilmington, gives Merrimon a majority of 4), being a democratle gain of 263 (immense cheers and waving of hats) over 1870, when the demo- crats carried the State by 5,000 majority. At the conclusion of the reading of this despatch the group threw up their hats, and gave three cheers for Greeley. Even before the cheers had died out a messenger came in with the foilowing, which was also read aloud :— FROM SENATOR RANSOM. Raneran, N. The State lias surely gone for Greeley.’ M the liberal ticket are elocted. It is majority, At this cheering news hats again tipped the chan- deilier, aud cheer upon cheer rent the air, Ethan Alien clapped his hands, and Lowenthal went into a pee and read a series of resolutions all to him- self. At half-past ten the following despatch came, signed “Daniel R. Goodioe, Secretary of the Na- tional Liberal Republican Committee, member for North Carolina :"— WARRENTON, C., Angust 1, 1372, The prospects are the brightest. "The conservatives are gaining everywhere. There is no doubt about the re- sult now. At this renewed shouts rent the alr, and Allen could be prevented only by the most strenuous ex- ertions from becietis | on his head, while Judson Jarvis and the festive birds of the Sheriit's office ad- journed on the strength of it to the rear parlor and ie ale they mysteriously denominated “a white on. The despatches continued to come in, and the liberals continued to jubilate until the heayy hours of midnight. Among the despatches were the following :— Wauron, N. 0. 11:30 P. M, Merrimon gains 100 in Weldon, 200 in Raleigh. In the Second ward of Wilmington, 150; sorthwest townsh!p, 340. Conservative guins thus far'in every quarter heard from. Wetpox, 11:35 P. M. Raleigh county in eleven towns! nip gives a liberal and conservative republican gain of 1,900, Wannxntow, N. ©., Augnst North Carolina will positively give over two thou: majority for the democratic and liberal republican ticket. M. W. RANSOM, The final despatch, brought in by Augustus Scheil, Was enough to close the headquarters ta jubilation, Mosenthal singing a German song, while Ethan Allen turned handsprings all around the room. Waupow, August I, 1872, The State certainly gone democratic. M. W. RANSOM. Among the letters received during the day were quite a number of important ones, A gentieman writes a follows Tlearn from sources entirely trustworthy that tt isthe intention of the radical managers in Philadelphia to em- loy a large number of workmen in the Navy Yard there In addition to the present number for the next few months, selecting particularly those skilled In the art of voting often or “repeating,” and they are entirely contl- dent of securing any necessary majority in Philadelphia to balance liberal majorities In other portions of Penusy!- ia, [prestime that such frauds tre by no means wn- yetitscems to me worth while to thwart them ch and every time it posalbie, A letter from Henderson, Texas, says:— I think a majority of the freedmen here will vote for Grant under the manipulation of the Grant-Davis-Car- perbagger-Scalawag-Loyal Lenguors, who dk Coutrol them.

He says “the Grautites are fighting among each other. Feuds are springing up among them, and our prospects are brightouing day by day in Mississippi.” MOVEMENTS OF MR. GREELEY, Greeley remained strictly secluded in Brooklyn yesterday, unbothered in his philo- sophical complacency by the cheering news from North Carolina. Te will, however, receive the congratulations of his friends at the Lincotn Club to-day, On Saturday night he will pay a vistt Mr. to Rhode Island, accompanied by lis wife and daughter Ida, THE SPINGLER HOUSE HEADQUARTERS, At tho democratic headquarters the anxiety to hear from North Carolina was as tntense and fever- ish ag atthe liberal headquarters. A number of distinguished goutlemey thronged the parloga all day, among them General Wirt Adams, Colone Bayne, S. F. Rice, of Alabama; General L. P. Walker, General Fagan, of Arkansas; Mr. Edwards, of New Orleans, “No despatches whatever arrived until about ten o’clouk tn the evening. Then the despatches quoted above in the report of the liberal headquarters were recetved, and received with three cheers, Mr. Augustus Schei! proposing them in a hearty Way, as if Horace Gree,cy Might have been his life- long political friend. The aylte of four rooms was crowded with the friends of {he movement, who {a Muatasticalty applauded as €8¢h despatch came The gentlemon present were free in fheir expres- sions as to the prospects of Sreniey. General Walker, a tail, huge whiskered specimen of the Southern chivalry of ante-bellum days, says that Alabama is sure for Horace Greeley by twenty thousand majority, Mr, Rice, whois an ex-Judge of the Supreme Court of Arkansas and a consistent Uberal republican, confirms the statement of Gene- ral Walker, General Wirt Adama, famous as a Confederate cavalry commander in the Southwest during the war, says the planters of Missisaipp! are taking in- tense Interest In the campaign, and are uniformly conferring with the colored people as to the best course to pursue, General Fazan says Arkansas wilf go for Greeley by a large majority. Advices have heen received fyom Indiana highiy ficouraeing, Morton has floofed the State with Money, and recently got up a radical terchlight Procession to march past a liberal mass meeting at an expense of $10,000, It was rather a costly adair, the gamo not being worth the torches. A letter from 8. S. Marshall, af Mlinols, states that he is confident his State will go for Greeley. Nearly all the old friends of Lincoln are for the Philosopher, ae German vote, with Koerner as their leader, AT THE GRANT HEADQUARTERS. At the Fifth Avenne headquarters there were quite a number of solid-looking individuals waiting with a rather anxious expression of countenance for the first gun, Mr. Chandler, whose calm Physlognomy retains a cheerful expression under adverse circumstances, floated about the room in- fusing comfort and hope into his visitors, A speculator came in during the day and wanted a contract to fire a salute of a hundred guns in honor of the expected victory, but Mr. Chandler declined to engage him unconditionally. fe con- sented to havo the salute fired provided the elec- tion resulted in a victory for Grant. The specula- tor finally proposed to fire the salute anyhow and chal it to whichever party conquered. in the fight, but Chandler objected to “shaking hands across the bloody chasm’ in that way, and the negotiations ended. General Burnside hap- ened in during the day, and was welcomed as a ighly cherished adherent, Among the other dis- tinguished visitors were General J, T. Averill, of Minnesota, H. 8, Wells, E. I. Tinker, of Massachn- setts; Henry FE. Abell; Andrew Washburn, of Vir- inia; Hon. Fred A. Sawyer, of South Carolina; eneral P. H. Jones, the Postmaster, and General Burke. The small room fronting on the miniature garden spot was crowded by these few, who decor- ously and solemnly paraded the room, seeming Uttle inclined to speak very confidently or even above a whisper, Secretary Chandler looked distressingly de- ressed, and said that if they had lost the State the Presidential campaign was just about to begin in oe At halfpast eleven the headquarters closed. In the lobby of the Fifth Avenue Hotel two even bets of $100 Were made on the result, and the Gree- ley backer, one of them, went over to the Genliam and ordered champagne for everybody, in token of his confidence. BANKS FOR GREELEY, He Thinks He Sees the Rising Wave and Wants to Float on Top. Boston, Mass., August 1, 1872, The republicans of Lynn have been halting be- tween two opinions for some time past, or rather have been undecided as to which of the two repub- lican candidates for the White House they should endorse and support in the present campaign. Sumner’s cautious behavior when the tide was just on the turn, Banks’ reticence and Butler’s eloquent silence puzzled and con fused them, and they were dumfoundered. They saw the rising tide; the deluge of public opinien was already lapping their fect and “what shall I do to be saved!’ was the pious ejaculation of every local radical leader, In this awful political dilemma a few of the more prominent republicans in the city assembled together, on behalf of their constituents as well as their own, and determined, Sumner. being in Washington, to send an ambassador extraordinary and minster plenipotentiary to find General Banks and interview him. The bulk of the persons so deciding took it for granted that the General would unquestionably declare for Grant, and show the faith that was in him in the eyes of all Lynn and the remainder of Massachusetts. Mr. Samuel 8. Lewis, Chairman of the Republican Gen- eral Committee of Lynn, was the gentleman selected for the delicate diplomatic mission. AN TAWFUL BOLD SURPRISE. Mr. Lewis immediately started to find Banks, and was about giving up the chase and returning home to report progress, when he met him at breakfast at the Parker House here, as he was on his way to Waltham, “Why, General!” exclaimed Mr. Lewis, “I've been looking for you up and down, and couldn't find you. Ain't I lucky!’ bite the matter, Mr. Lewis?’ asked General janks. “Well,” he returned, “our ratty are troubled a little up our way. We want to have a rousing meeting in Lynn in favor of Grant and Wil: you know we would like you to speak to us. “My dear sir,” replied the General, “I would be happy at any time to see my friends at Lynn, but T cannot advise them to vote for Grant. I'm on the other side.” Mr. Lewis stared and could scarcely realize the fact that General Banks preferred to float with the tide than to swim against It. “Well, now, General, if I go back to Lynn and tell our people What you say they won't believe me, Oh, no!” ; PUTTING THE MATTER BEYOND DISPUTE. “Oh, yes! though,” responded the General quickly, and, cailing for writing Materials, wrote te follow- ing letter:— Boston, July 31, 1872, My Dear Str—I have the honor to acknowledge by this note, in addition to our conversation to-day, the receipt of your invitation to address the citl- zens of Lynn, Thursday evening, in support of the re-election of General Grant and the policy of his administration. No invitation could ha’ ad [kat weight with me from any part of the coun- ry, nor from any portion of my fellow citizens, And it gives great pleasure to assure you that nothing could be added to your suggestions, as a representative of the citizens of Lyun, to induce me to accede tg their request. Their kindness to me many years since is @ continuing life remembrance, and ‘nothing would give me greater satisfaction than to renew my associations with them. But [regret to say that | am not in accord with them in regard to the Presidential canvass, Against my wishes and my personal interests I am compelled to believe and to say that the perpetua- tion of the present policy of the government ts not for the advantage of the country, and that {ft will not tend to establish its former peace and prosperit, nor to promote the interests o/ any class of its citi- zens, No personal feeling of any character enters into this judgment; it is in view of general rinciples and public interests alone that I adopt ‘nis conclusion, The unity of the masses of the people of all parties, sections and races in sup- rt of the grand resulta of the war, is indispensa- bie to the permanent establishment and the common recognition of those results, Itcan be secured by no other means. We shall all be forced to this con- clusion sooner or later, This united action upon this basis has been the hope of my life. I fervently desired it during the war and in the reconstruction of the State governments sub- sequent to the war. I belleve it is now tendered ny aad to us in good faith in the nomination of Mr. Greeley, and, for one, I cannot reject it. It was what £ desired, ‘and its consumina- tion, although sudden and startling, does not alarm me. My duty to myself and my country requires me to give him my support, I cannot advocate bo- fore your friends a diferent course, which neither my judgment nor my heart approves. t grieves me most deeply to separate myself in thought or act from any one of those with whom I have been so long associated and to whom Tam 80 greatly indebted; but I believe the resuit will Justify my action, eve to the country that peace ‘and prosperity which are the object of all our labors, and secure to every citizen the civil and poiitical equality and freedom which were won by the sacri- fice of 80 many valued lives. Accept the assurances of my lasting fricndship and esteem, and believe me yours, &c., N.'P, BANKS. James 8. Lewts, Esq., Chairman of the Repub- lican Generai Committee of Lynn, Mass, “That will settle the matter,” he said, handing the letter to Mr, Lewis; “I see no other course ior me to pursue.” MORE DESERTIONS FROM THE REGULARS, Tam informed to-night on the very best authority that General Banks’ colieagues from Masaachusetts in Congress are wavering and greatly disturbed in mind, und thatin afew days Dawes will jump boldly over the fence, with Hooper at his heels, Butler will probably wuit until after the Pennsylvania election before declaring himself against the ad- ministration, which has filed him abundantly with ood et but it is thought here by shrew! poll- cians, that Butier will unbottie himself in due time, and, flying at the fence, come down on the otler side Witia cragh that Will astonigh the patives, ‘QuWw YORK HERALD, FRIDAY: AUUUST ¥ 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT. juniors behind in tho taste for that shv'¥Y | ington, Chief Secretary for Ireland; Lord Henry GLORIOUS GOODW 0D.

The following special despatch to tho Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in London :— Lonnon, August 1, 1872, Goodwood Cup day is a grand occasion in the racing world of England ; but, like the Grand Prix at Paris ora day at the Jerome Park Course, its glories and splendors are of a peculiar character. They are softened with the concourse of good company and deepened with tho sense of refinement and of with- drawal from the vulgar glare of plebeian bliss and the horrible ‘happiness’ of the Derby. Once a somewhat greater blaze of popular ex- citement attended this grand trial ; but it is less now, though the day is scarcely less a prime favorite with sportsmen, while it has, therefore, all the greater vogue in the fashion- able world, and remains a leading festival with upper tendom. THE DERBY DAY DEMOCRACY AT A RESPECTFUL DISTANCE. Indeed, races like the Derby are to this day as a democratic crowd in Trafalgar square is toa garden party at Marlborough House. If a deputation of tho lower million does put in an appearance it is with an air of becoming deference and an evident sense of not being at home; while even the middle class Londoner, who contributes so wonderfully to the ugli- ness, noise and common, greasy aspect of the Derby, scarcely knows the whereabouts of Goodwood, and could hardly get to the Duke of Richmond's grounds without a week's pre- vious study of the almost incomprehensible “Bradshaw.” THE NATIVES ON THE COURSE AND TIEIR ETH- NOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES, It is a gathering of upper class people. The young men are tall, straight, light-com- plexioned fellows, with frank, open, mostly handsome faces and easy manners, not infe- rior to any specimens of juvenile manhood to bo met with in the world. The old men are tall, without the lithe, straight air, and yet are upright figures. It is the same frame filled out—burly, somewhat ponderous, and yet strong and active, hale and wearing well, and dressed with scrupulous caro. The young ladics, with their wondrously brilliant complexions, fine faces and taste for bright colored dresses, are of course the grand feature of this as of every similar occasion; while mothers and grandmothers, tending , dreadfully to embonpoiat, scarcely leave their finery that gives s0 much color to the stand and to the field. BLOOD AND GRACE OF MIEN Few women are handsomer than a young English woman of a good type; but she needs also torbeof good family, to be an aristocrat in short, for’ hat supplies tho fine air, without which English’ beauties are apt to~havo a slovenly look. Sew women, moreover, aro so fond of life and its gtories and grand occa- sions as the same brilliant Briton, and hence she lingers on the sceno long after her bril- liancy is, alas! hopelossly faded, and makes a most doperate effort to keep up the illusion with lace and powder and millinery: STRUGGLE AGAINST TIME. It is in its way a fine thing to see the game struggle an English woman makes against being old, and how she keeps up with the movement of the bright world and goes to the races with the girls, and laughs at the last joke with cheery downright onjoymout, long after those years at which, in any other country, she would be propped up in her easy chair. CUP DAY HIstoRY oF 1872. Tho great event of the Goodwood races to-day was the run forthe Goodwood Cap, two miles and a half, which was won by Favonius, the Derby victor. The attendance of people on the grounds was considerably below the usual average of the number of spectators who have heretofore congregated to witness the sport. The falling off was principally among the members of tho working and lower classes. The representa- tives of these two sections of society formed merely thin fringes of humanity, traced out by the rails which separate the course from the visiting grounds, ? THE MEN OF CHANCE AND HAZARD. The betting part of the enclosure was filled with persons skilled in the science of chunce, and also many ardent yet uncalculating devo- tees of the fickle goddess. The lawn which lies on the opposite side of the stand was crowded with a more staid and much less ox- citable congregation. SOCIAL SCENE ON THE TERRACE AND GREEN SWARD. The scene which was presented on tho natural terrace which overhangs the town was gay and enlivening in the extreme. The entire space was crowded with.people engaged in the most animated social converse, and good-natured, friendly, neighborly greetings were spoken and returned on every side. Brilliant parties of gentlemen, ladies, youths, young misses and children—‘‘the grave and the gay’’—were gathered around table cloths, spread, in this instance, on the green sward, under the leafy canopy of the aged trees, par- taking of refreshments, recounting the. plea- sures of the trip hitherward and indulging in the most pleasing anticipations of the ‘jolly good timo”’ just at hand, LESS MORAL OR “ LESS NICE?’” The attendance of well-dressed ladies was very large; but there were more of the demi- monde present than has been usual before-on the occasion of the festive gathering at Good- wood, THE ROYAL REPRESENTATION. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales came to the grounds from Osborne, and ap- peared on the Grand Stand and among the crowd at an early hour of the day. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alexan- dra, wife of the Prince of Wales, was absent, to the great regret of the people, who delight to pay her honor on every possible occasion, HOW THE PRINCE LOOKED, The Prince of Wales, on tho whole, makes a pleasing impression upon you. He is rather short of stature, wears a beard and mustache, both rather short and very fair. When he takes off his hat you observe that his head is very bald for a man of his years; and, although be- fore his illness he had a somewhat plump look, at present ho appears decidedly worn. He has beautiful eyes—eyes of soft blue—and the nose is small and well formed. He smiles good- naturedly, and, on the whole, seems a typical Briton, or rather an excellent type of a man you meet every day in the strects of a German as well as of an English town—fnir-haired, blue-eyed, good-natured, easy tempered, fond of self, of easy indulgence and quiet, and ut- terly untroubled by earthly aspirations. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur was in company with his brother and sister-in-law. His Royal Highness Prince Teck, her Royal Highness the Princess Mary his wife, their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Saxe Weimar, the Most Noble Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox, Duke of Richmond, with his wife the Duchess of Richmond and two daughters, were all grouped on the west bal- cony of the Grand Stand, PALACE AND ARISTOCRATIC TOILETS. Her Highness the Princess Teck was dressed ina costume of a new color—blue and green intermingled—trimmed with silk bands and broad white lace. ‘The ladies Lennox were dressed entirely in pink, which color, in its appearance when re- lieved by a trimming of pure lawn, is becom- ing fashionable. Her Grace the Duchess of Richmond wore a violet colored silk, covered with black lace, BLUE BLOOD AND BEAUTY AGAIN.

On their reappearing from the shado Ver+ duro was still leading im front of his stable’ companion, while tho others had closed up. Three-quarters of a mile from home ‘Albert Vietor took the third place, and before de- scending the hill Bothwell was beaten, When the horses got fairly in the straight line for home Favonius began to draw for- ward, getting on terms with AlUert Victor.
