10 “THE ERIE RAILWAY The Financial Condition of the Company. LETTER FROM PRESIDENT P’H. WATSON. Dividends Promised Semi-Annually to the Stockholders. , NEw YORK, August 7, 1872. . JawEs MCHENRY, Esq., London>— Dear Sir—In order that you may be able wo present your friends in Barope ‘who are interested in the Erie and Atiantic: and ‘Great Western Railways some ‘of the, ideas which I have recently suggested to you verbally, I now repeat fer your careful consideration the more prominent facts connectedwith these roads, and the questions due consideration of which seems to me vital to thei permanent success. Apart from all questions as to the cost of trans- portation over broad gauge lines in comparison with the narrow gauge system (which last, for practical purposes, may be assumed to be of 49%, which has been adopted as the best compromise between the Eastern:and Western lines, which vary between 4.84 and 4.10), Isay, without discussing the comparative cost of transportation, though I be- Neve that 4 narrow gauge road may pay largely on its cost, while oneof six feet may be worked with- ‘out profit, it is plain to ail those who have carefully considered the questions involved, that the inabil- ity to secure connections beyond Buffalo and Day- ton for broad gauge cars is alone a sufficient rea- son for urging a reduction of the gauge of both the arie and Atlantic gnd Great Western lines to 4.9%, and, until this is accomplished, the results antici- pated by the owners of these roads cannot be se- cured, But having secured this change, or being assured that the means necessary for its accomplistiment may be obtained in time to meet the requirements ef the Erie Company, another question at once assumes equal or greater importance; and unless we are able practically to extend the Erie line to Cincinnati and the Southwest, to the Lake ports (including Chicago), to St. Louis and the North- west, and thence to the Pacifle coast, the Erie road will remain ‘solated from the main sources of profitable business, the absolute control of which -at its sources, freed from the caprices and change- able interests of the managers of other lines, is Mecessary to enable any trunk line to command, at all times, its due and proper share of the traffic which is abundant, but which has been unduly con- trolled and has reached the seaboard by the Penn- “tylvania and Central lines, ‘This far-reaching policy was first acted upon by the Pennsylvania road. In ten years it has by leases, running arrangements and the purchase of interests in Westarn lines, become the controlling power over many thousands of miles of railroads, 80 that its system has now become a network of connections from Canada on the north to the ex- tremest western points of the United States; and all these lines of roads contribute constantly ana surely to the business and profits of the original Pennsylvania road. At a later date the same system was adopted by Mr. Vanderbilt, and the jafuence of the Central Toad is now almost as powerful in the West as that of the Pennsylvania line. So far the Erie and Atlantic have been unable to compete with their rivals in this fleld. By the change of the direction of the Erie it is now, for the first time, ina position to secure its share of this influence and business. If it fails now to secure similar advantages it must remain, as in the past, comparatively powerless, and its future cannot be brilliant. In looking over the whole field of our Western connections, and of the main and constant sources from which our business springs, it seemed, at first, almost iinpossible to,extend the influence of the Erie Railway in any direction without at once coming in contact and in confict with the systems ‘of the Pennsylvania and Central roads—already es- tablisied—one main line only, hich by its branches and leased roads seemed to meet the re- quirements of the Erie Company, was free irom embarrassing contracts or allianc' This was the line of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indtanapolis Railway. This road runs frem Cleveland to Columbus, 133 Miles; at Galion, 80 miles from Cleveland, a branch runs to Indianapolis, 202 miles, and from the same point another branch extends to Springfield, 87 mules, thence by a leased line to Dayton, 25 miles, and thence by its own line to Marietta Junction, 48 alles, and to Cincinnati, 7 miles, by a Jeased line— all in the state of Ohio, On the north, trom Indianapolis to Terre Haute (State of Indiana), 72 miles, the road is owned jointly with the Pennsylvania Compan and thence to St. Louis, 182 miles, over a road jointly leased by the Cleveland, Colum- bus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis and the Pennsyl- vania Central. It also controls by running arrangement the iine from Beardstown, on the Iilinois River, to Shaw- neetown, on the Olio Liver, a distance of 228 miles, Passing through one ol the most productive por- tions of Illinois. It owns a railroad extending from Union, on,the Indianapolis branch, to Dayton, on the Cincin. nati branch, a distance of 48 miles, this branch being now used by the Pennsylvania road to make its Cincinnati connection irom the West. It controls largety the business of the Tuscarawas Valley road, ninety-five miles im length, which crosses the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and oes atGraiton and terminates on Lake rie. These lines aggregate 1,139 miles, of which" 559 miles are freehoid, the remainder being leased on such advantageous terms that the leases alone are worth a large aan of the present capital to any connecting railway. The Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and In- @ianapolis Railway forms close conneetion with tle Atlantic and Great Western at Cleveland, Spring- field, Galion and Dayton.

Lefevre’s Stable. Lonpon, April 19, 1873. The Newmarket season commenced on Tuesday Yast with the Craven Meeting, which was brought to a conclusion yesterday. Taken as a whole, the sport was remarkably poor and perfectly unworthy ofthe “headquarters” ef the English turf. ‘There were as many as five “walks over’? in the course of the four days, and for the thirty races which took place there were only 123 runners, which gives an average of about four foreach. At the same time about sixteen other race meetings were held in various parts of the country, allof them merely local affairs of no menerehaginoianes: but in every justance the average ofthe fields, numerically Speaking, Was very much larger. When it is con- sidered that nearly eight hundred horses are trained on Newmarket Heath it will be seen that there is something radically wroug with the management at Newmarket. The Jockey Club, which practically owns the town and the racing and training: grounds, is far too con- servative in its tastes, and does nothing to make the sport popular. In fact it professes to care nothing for the public and to prefer that the public should stay away. It is, however, believed that the club 1s beginning to see that it must do something to alter the present state of affairs and to avoid a repetition of the MISERABLE EXHIBITIONS Which were witnessed this week, What is wanted is the appointment of well-paid: and energetic oft- cials, who shall make it their business to manage affairs in such a manner that large flelds will go to the post for the various stakes. The reformers, whose numbers are being rapidly increased, point out very fairly, and with perfect truth, if the paltriest little country or metro- politan meetings achieve a large measure of success, though no horses are trained in their neighborhood, and owners are put to large expense for conveying their animals to them, it is ridiculous that the stakes at Newmarket should be waiked over for, or bring to the post only twos or threes of indifferent horses, while 800 are in training Wwitbin-a few hundred yards of the heath. It is urged that if a clerk of the course were appointed he would personally canvass owners for their sup- port, and make it his business to get respectable fields to run for the various prizes, as clerks of the course do elsewhere. The Jockey Club is very much inclined stare super antiquas vias, but it is hoped that it is becomimg more moderate in its views, and as Mr, Chaplin, M. P., has been this week elected a steward in place of Lord Calthorpe—a dreadful ‘“fogy,” though comparatively @ young man—it is possible that the club may be brought to see reason, It13 clear enough that if good sport is not provided at Newmarket people will not visit the piace, and, however much the club may affect to despise the countenance and support of the public, it cannot shut its eyes to the tact that the public contributes the greater part of its income,in the way of pay- ing for permission to take vehicles on the heath. The sport of the opening day (Tuesday) was ex- ceedingly interesting; but aiter that it declined wofully, and not acontest took place which was | worth the journey to Newmarket. The feature of the meeting was the WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF THE FRENCH STABLE at “headquarters,” owned by M. Lafevre and trained by fom Jennings. M. Lefevre is by far the | most important supporter of the English turf, and his team of horses is of gigantic dimensions. It is somewhat curious to observe that only about half a dozen members of the Jockey Club own any race horses at all, aud that few of these ran any at their own meeting, while of the thirty races of the week as many as diiteen were secured by a French- man. M. Lelevre is, or was, extremely wealthy and spends an enormous sum annually in buying and traiming horses, He does not pet, and races only+ for the honor and the stakes, which iatter must re- compense lim very fairly for his outlay if he can continue the ‘tide of success which he has enjoyed for some time, and which promise be | stronger than ever, He did not commence the week well with the Craven Stakes, which was reduced toa match between his magnificent old | horse Vulcan and Prince Charlie, the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas last year. They are two of the mpst brilliant “milers” ever seen on the Eng- lish turf, and over the Rowley mile, on which bot! have won important victories, they were perfectly at home. They looked in excellent condition, but Prince Charlie’ perhaps more so than his opponent, At all events, that was the prevailing impression, and odds of 6 to 4 were beton him. The horses were ridden by two of our fittest horsemen, Ford- ham being on Vulcan and French on Prince Char- lie. The former again tried the tactics which he has rarely found to fail with the old horse. He made the running at as fast a pace as he sould, but his weight, 141 Ibs., was too great, and Prince Charlie beat him cleverly at last by alength. One of the events of the day was the VICTORY OF A GERMAN HORSE, e Hochstapler, belonging to a gentleman, Count Renard, who has within the past year or two began to take @ great interest in English racing and has set up a training establishment at Newmarket. He | ‘was, it may be remembered, prerét of Nancy dur- ing the Franco-German war, and is in high favor at the Court of Berlin. Hochstapier is a “dark,” never having previously run in pubiic, but he en- joyed a great private reputation, derived from his trials with Amalie von kdelreich, also the property of the Count, who performed remurkably well last | year Wien pitted against some of the “cracks.” Hochstapiler, despite his German name, is of thorough English breeding, being by Savemake— who ran second for the Derby and St. Leger to Lord Lyon—out of Traviata.

Cowes, April 22, 1873, This little place, an hour’s pleasant sail from Southampton, aithough much smaller, resembles, im many respects, Newport, R. I., your own popu. lar Summer regort, It bears the same relation to London as Newport does to New York. The yachts, or the majority of them,,belonging to tne English fleets lay up here during the Winter, and make it a station in the Summer. At this time ail is bustle and activity with the yachtsmen, as with them it is the height of the season of preparation. The yachts which have been here all Winter are fitting out; others that have been coming have run in to refit, while some are having aiterations made, with hopes o! increasing their speed or obtaining better accommodations. YACHTS READY FOR SERVICE. Those now already equipped and at anchor, ready for service, are the following: The large iron steam yaclit Northumbria, 420 tons,, owned by Mr. Stephenson; schooners Sham- rock, Sir Edward Sullivan, Bart, 350 tons, built at London last season, and looks a great deal like the American schooner Dreadnaught; Lizzette, Major Walker, 125 tons, buils by Hansen at Cowes, new this season, she is bound to Cherbourg on a trial trip; Lara, Captain Allen Young. As Queen Vic- toria is now stopping at Osborne, Her Majesty’s | ship Hector lies at anchor off Cowes, In the stream which separates the town into East and West Cowes are all the yachts not yet out. The most noticeable are the American schooner Sappho, lying at anchor, where she las been all Winter. They have not yet commenced work on her. Next is the Cambria, almost as well known as the former. She 18 now owned by Mr. Albert Wood, who has been craising ali Winter in the Mediterranean, and came in here about three weeks ago to refit, She is almost ready. ‘fhe iron steamer Thistle, owned by tue Duke of Hamtlton, and said to be tig largest steam yacht aftoat, 48 also refitting. Ste ls out cruising nearly the year around, aud has run into fx up Jor the coming season. The Queen's steain yacht Alberti also claims attention. She is a very hand- some three-musted, double-funne: steainer, and lies moored at her wharf at East Cowes, ready for Her Majesty’s orders. The large topsail yard schooner Goshawk, owned by Mr. broadwood, which is now Utting up, is, on account of her square sail yards, & Very remarkable vessel, Mr, Broadwood also owns the cutter Arethusa, of which great things are expected tuis season, The Arethusa was built last season for M.

HOSOKEN’3 NEW GOVERNMENT, The new Council of Hoboken, an overwhelmingly democratic body, organized last evening and elected a Counciiman named Joseph Russel to fhe chairmanship. Mayor McGavish’s message was read amid deep attention. He recommends re form in the Keeping of the city accounts, the de” posit of the public moneys in a perfectly secure ank, the reannexation of Weehawken, the speedy improvement of public squares and the construc- tion of & main sewer to remedy the dangerous evil occasioned by the @rainage of the Jersey City Heights into Hoboken, Tae Police and Fire De- partments are complimented in the document, which is one of the most terse and comprehensive messages that Hoboken has yet perused. The only objectionable feature of the new regime secms to be the elevation of Kussel to the chairmanship, In his appointment of the committees, however, he has satisiled the Ring politicians.

A committee was ap- pointed to dra{t resolutions expressive of the sense | of the meeting on the amendments and returning | their thanks to Senator Perry.

Public opinion on the case of tnis unfortunate man has undergone @ great change since the trial. Most if not all the influential meu in Morris county join in the application for a remission of the death penalty. Now that cooler mo- ments have arrived and the erime for which the cuiprit has been condemned possesses many fea- tures that demand a taorough discussion betore it is too late, Atong the grounds on which the ap- plications are based it is set forth that Lusignant aid not go to Morristown for the parrpose of muder- ing anybody, but to bring back a recreant wile, to whom he Was prepared to mete out the fullest measure of forgiveness. He used repeated argu- ments and entreaties to induce her to return beiore he had recourse to violeuce, ‘The calm res- ignation of the man since sentence Was passed and his uncomplauing submission to all the rules of the prison have evoked a feeling of syimpathy in many quarters where indifference prevatied before, Numerons letters have been written to Governor Parker in favor of commutation. A large delega- tion of the citizens of Morris connty will be in Trenton to-day, Meantime the prisoner remains cool and collected, and devotes much. of his time fo spiritual exercises. He is visited constantly by his spiritual adviser, who is unremitting in his exxtlons of the doomed 08 behalt pan. | Mary FE, the residence ot tl ‘ide’s parents, B ford, N. i. by the Rey.
