Batimore, Md., May 29, 1873. The attendance at Pimlico Course to-day was ‘very large, all the stands and field being well filled with delighted spectators. The racing waa all good, but particularly the two-mile-heat race be- tween Messrs. Rice & McCormick’s chestnut horse Stockwood, Isaac ‘W. Pennock’s Vandal colt, Jo Donohue’s chestnut horse Sanford and Oden Bowie's Eawin. Three finely contested heats were required, the first being won by the Vandal colt and the two subsequent ones by Stockwood, San- ford was sent to the stable after the second heat. ‘The Vandal colt is brother to James B. Connolly, but not a first class racehorse, or he never could ave been beaten in the company he was in. The first race was a very interesting event, from the fact that the pool selling on it was heavy. Mr. Lewis’ colt Joe Johnson, ana Mr. Brown’s chestnut Milly Coronet, were the rivals, although there were $wo others in the contest. Joe Johnson was known to be a good one, but he had sulked a few times lately. Un this occasion he was run with blinkers, ‘with Bob Swim to steer him, He wona good race and gave great satisfaction. ‘The third race, mile and three quarters, was not ® brilliant affair, as it was won by the favorite quite easily. The winner was Chickabiddy, late Echo, who was handicapped with twenty pounds Jess than her regular weight. The last event of the day was a four mile dash, which had four starters. The race was won by John, Merryman, and the favorite, Village Black- emit, was badly bea: The following are the details of the day’s racing :— DASH OF ONE AND A QUARTER MILES.

Pennock’s bay colt by Planet, dam Rebecca 7. Price; A. D. Brown’s bay colt Coronet, by Jones- boro, dam Garland. Joe Johnson had the call in the poul sales. The latter and Coronet sold for about even money—just before the start, however, the others bringing next to notning. Thesend-of was & very good one, Coronet getting away a little the best, John Preston second, Pennock’s colt third, Joe Johnson fourth. They rattled merrily up the homestretch to the stand, and when they passed under the string Ponnock’s colt ied one length, Coronet second, one Jength ahead of John Preston, who was a length apd @ halt in front of Joe John- son. There was no chi of place around the turn, but Pennock’s colt opened a gap of five lengths to the quarter pole.

Going around the upper turn on the third mile John parted company with the old mare, and his rider giving him a loose rein he opened a gap of #1X lengths on Lucy to the hal!- mile pole and was 100 yards away from Village Blacksmitl The backers of the latter could not understand how it was that their favorite was al- lowing himself to be leit so far behind, but some of them began to think that he was doing his best and that if John Merryman did not fall down they would lose their money. John came under the wire at the end of the third mile eighty yards ancad of the Blacksmith, the old mare having given up the contest. John went into the last mile so far ahead of the Blacksmith that the race was practi- cally over. He was kept moving at the top of his speed, which was none of the fastest now, but it Was even better than Village Blacksmith’s, Jobn Merryman increased the distance between himself and his follower, and won the race amid the wildest shouts of the crowd by at least one hundred yards, Village Blacksmith was 200 yards ahead of Lucy Jackson.

HB, Phillips’ sorrel mare Fanny Fern; but the latter was Withdrawn. The attendance was very limited. In the pools sold Topsey was the favorite—g25 to $10— and the betting for a while was quite spirited. The old mare won the first and second heats in style, but the third, after a stubborn contest the entire mile, was placed to the credit of Mercer, who beat his opponent by ahead only. Much interest was manifested in the result of the fourth heat, some thinking that the seiding. might pull through o winner, but the old mare plenty of steam in reserve, ang landed the winner of heat and race by two lengths.

POsesnits Uae {From the Albany Argus, May 29.] The following table gives the valuation of each county, the amount by each on the one-sixteenth of a mill tax, levied for the benefit of sectarian in- stitutions by the Legislature, the number of aca- demic pupils in each county in 1871, as shown by the report of the Regents of the University for 1871, and the amount which will be received by each county on the basis of the apportionment of 1872, from the proceeds of the sectarian tax. The num- ber of pupils may vary somewhat the current ycar, and if go the amount derived will be changed; bat the ratio will remain substantially as here given. The counties in italic pay more of the tax than they receive in retarn:— : =s S Ey & | pst [eet eee Counties, 5 wy s ig tet Spe 1 a8 eo Albans 4 18,258,474) $3,016 15) 5 103 32 ‘Allegan; 8,795.00 ‘549 69] 106] 190 44 |, Broome. 8,082, 932) 508 73) 1.508 51 Cattaraugus. 8,577,137 $36 07) 126} 2,005 73 Cayuga. 20, 142, 164) 1,258 26) 98 1,921 50 Chatian . 16,691,513} 1,085 41 280) 4,752 85 Chemung, i, 242} 552 45) 69) 1,425 86 Chenango..... 11,312,941 707 06] = 226} 4,670 19 Clinton. . 6 8 ‘276 68) | 1,083 23 21,358,103 1,334 88 wi 2,087 12 83}686, 112 2,105 | — bakes “| i,g00'72i} 8,206 27| 4,090 86 0,424,637 | 339 04) 44 ‘909 24 5.702, 554| 360 16) G4} 1,222 53 3,768,616 285 6) 27 ‘BO? 94 . 14,206, 463} ‘S87 54) 1131 2.336 10 . 5,835,427) 34 7) oa 640 GO ‘747, 160] oo} ot as 9,673,083) 56] 160; 8,506 38 14,693, 389] “| 178 3,678 29 196,138,347] 12,196 16] 233, 4,814 84 '3/928,617 245 54] 80) 1,653 17 165,067, 963 941 75] 168] 8.471 66 11,149,347! 696 #3] 143] 21913 71 80,422;500| 1,1 41) 34 "702 60 7,671 009] 479 4] 29 (09 27 041,253,633 | 078 35 _ - | 14,713,142) ‘919 57) 99 2,045 79 20,686,310] 1,65 30] 268] 7,604 56 84,719,652) 219 98) ea], 827 AT 19)315,008] 1,200 94) 207] 4.277 57 28,313,599 1,769 60) 46) 929 91 10,708,201 ‘609 07) WA) 2,298 77 7,106,268) 444 14 - =- 26,318,396] 1,44 0) — - So06z,997] 1,878 1] 197 4,070 92 8,148,035) 109 25) — = 8,977,337] 657 96] — = 13,941,965) £71 87] 100] 2,28 44 12,419,518) 776 22| 43] BEB 58 5,526,709) ‘SAB 42| 30} 619 94 5,547,246} 346 71 ” 1,942 47 4,411,058) 275 ¢9) 12 247 $8 10,384,957 on a 557 414,792,944 924 i 229 4,752 19 11,816,277 738 62) 26) 887 28 2,969,218 JAS SR 2) 4a 6,001 ,vu2| ‘875 06) a Ly 87 8,086, 13 Se BK) 107 22 i 18,322, 760) 826 42) ‘578 OL 3,006,672) 187 92 oe 2.0ah 13 165,288,286 962 08| 327] 6,757 31 14,88 5.496 930 825) 6.715 99 80,977-694] 3,748 6) — = 9,204, 657| ‘675 9%] 2,045 79 7,911,384 om 5 1,269 21 .--182,088,677,445| $180,590 221 6,049] $125,000 00 From the above it appears that New York pays $65,000 and receives nothing, while her ragged schools and humane charitiesare turned away with cruel mockery; Albany pays $3,000, and receives a miserable pittance; Dutchess pays $2,000, and re- ceives nothing; Kings pays over $12,000, and re- ceives leas than $5,000; Monroe pays $1,200 more than she receives; Westchester pays nearly $4,000, and receives nothing.

The Special Committee of the Board of Aldermen on Gas met last night and continued their investi- gation, in order to report to the Board as to whether it would be advisable for the authorities to manufacture ite own. Mr. Bensen, the President of the Brooklyn Gas Company, testified that the present capital of the company Was $2,000,000. It was five or six years after the company started, he said, before they were able to declare any dividend, and the first dividend was three per cent on the stock. The company was started by a gentleman from Phila delphia. Their present dividend averaged from twenty to twenty-five per cent. They bad sold parcels of jand to otner compani They sold the first parcel to the Citizens’ Gasi: ‘ompany. They purchased that south of Flatbush avenue for $150,000, They sold another to the Peopie’s Gas- light Company for $500,000, and another district to the Nassau Gaslight ake agd $1,000,000, When the company first started the price of gas was $4 a per thousand feet, but. e facili ties for inufacturin, it increased the price decreased to $2 60 per thoasand. Alter the war broke ont the Jabor increased and they had to increase the price of gas wo $3 Bi they now manufactared about four hundred fniliion feet of gas annually. Mr. Livoy, President of the Citizens’ Gas- light Yo y, testified that ~ started on 8 capital of Seae nd had since increased it $200,000; the cust of building the works was $675,000; they had sold a district to the Metropolitan Gaslight Cag for $200,000 in cash and $200,000 in stock. The year after they started they deciared a dividend of six per cent, and they had since increated to fifteen per cent. Their taxes to the city amounted to twenty-five per cent and their waste to about ten per cent, Mr. George Hall, Secretary of the Brooklyn Gas Company, corroborated the testimony of Mr. Ben- son. The committee then adjourned. PROBABLE WIFE MURDER, William Burns, @ stableman, aged fifty years, and his wife, confirmed inebriates, residing in the rookery 80 rice of material and South Eighth street, Williamsburg, had a quarrel yester- day, when the husband fractured her skull with a hay- stick. Burns immediately told his landlord, John Dono- hoe, of what he had doie, advising him to pat cobwebs: on her wounds He then went away and was not found up to a Inte hour last night. When Mr. Donohoe went to examine the cage he tound Mrs. Burns lying 1m & pool of blood in the hall , quite unconscious. He summoned a physician, who drened her wounde nd sat her to the City Hospital tiul, The wretched couple have be: bing 8 tor whe past ten years AMONG THE MAGYARS. The English Princes’ Visit to the Hungarian Capital. SCENES ALONG THE DANUBE. Royal Entertainments in Honor of Queen Vietoria’s Sons, BOATING AND RACING AT PESTH. GRaNnD Horen Hungaria, PxstH, Hungary, May 11, 1873. This morning, at nine o’clock, there was an un- usual bustle at the offices of the Danube Steam Packet Company on the Franz Josef’s Quay at Vienna ‘The ordinary steamer had started as usual at half- past six o'clock; but the Ariadne, the finest boat belonging to the company, lay alongside, with her steam up and evidently prepared to start. The loafing crowd could get no satisfactory replies to their inquiries, and the riddlé was not solved until the artival of three carriages, from which issued the Prince of Wales and Prince Arthur, attended by the members of their suite, and accompanied by two or three gentlemen who had been invited to accompany this essentially private party on a trip which they were about to make down the Danube. ‘The Austrians are so accustomed to the sight of their rulers attired in dazzling uniforms and sur- rounded by pomp and formality that the by- standers seemed hardly able to comprehend that the young men in round hats and plain morning dress, who stepped quietly from their carriage to the gangway, raising their hats in acknowledg- ment of the profuse salaams of the boat officials, could belong to the salt of the world. It had been specially requested by the Prince of Wales that his visit to Hungary should be regarded as entirely non-official, and that though he retained histitle he should be spared the tiresome ceremonial which awaits every person of rank in this land of punc- tilious etiquette. The baggage was hurried on board, and within five minutes of the Prince's ar- rival the steamer was under way. The banks of the Danube for many miles after leaving Vienna are flat and uninteresting. Here and there a rough wall of loose stones has been thrown up to resist the encroachment of the water; but the general character of the landscape be- tokens the impossibility of cultivation, and the fields seem scarcely yet to have recovered from the devastation of the wintry floods. Stunted, shock- headed palsied willows, with an occasional poplar, are the only trees; the grass is long and rank, and flags and bulrushes thickly fringe the stream. No attempt at division of the land seems to have been made; allis common property, though here and there, where the herbage is of better quality ana More fitted for grazing purposes, one comes upon & vast herd of dun-colored, long-horned cattle, or @ drove of small, wiry, shaggy horses, some brows- ing, some galloping wildly about in terror at the snorting steamer. At intervals of every two or three miles we glide past a long row of barges, some of which bave been formed into water mills, while the others are converted into residences for those who look after the grinding of the meal. Ac- cording to the tradjtion of song, millers are @ joy- ous, lively race, butit would be difficult to imagine @ more solitary, Cheerless life than the/lot of these men, “one side water all around” them, and such land as they can see, barren, desolate and forbid- ding. Of active life on the river there is scarcely any sign. The stream issplit into so many branches and winds its way through so many devious chan. nels, between islands teeming with rank vegeta- tion and high sand banks, that anything like a distant prospect is impossible. Occasionally we come upon a steamer tugging a fleet of heavily laden barges against the stream, and then there is an interchange of courtesy be- tween the two crews which is perfectly Eastern in its profuseness. Each captain on the bridge raises his gold-laced cap and lays his hand on bis heart; each mate half way down the companion ladder does ditto; even the helmsmen are so intent upon bowing and saluting that they let go their hold on the wheel for a moment, heedless of the danger- ous navigation. HUNGARIAN COSTUMES. The Ariadne has been chartered specially for the Prince’s use, and pone but members of his party and the ship’s company are on board, so that there is httle chance of seeing any of the Hungarian national character, Nevertheless, as we steam quickly by the various landing stages we catch glimpses of the people waiting there for the up- stream boat—a strange variety, indeed. Women in sad colored garments, with naked legs and feet, and bearing on their backs huge and heavy burdens, baskets of garden produce, or lime or peat, or bil- lets of wood loosely tied together; peasants in shaggy woollen capotes and flapping hats; men of the better class in jong fur-embroidered cloaks or profosely braided jackets and high boots, remind- ing one of Kossuth in his famous days; thin, wiry Jews in gabardines reaching to their heels, giis- tening with grease, and with their greasy hair tor- tured into ringlets and hanging over tn shoul- ders; frowzy shepherds scratching suspiciously under their tattered garments, and dirt-begrimea chilaren, naked and not ashamed. SIGHTS ALONG THE DANUBE. The main object of the Ariadne is to arrive at her destination within twelve hours after her depar- ture and to make as few stoppages as possible; consequently we ste: rapidly by some places which have at least historical interest. This small, dull town fringing the water's edge is Pres- burg, and within the fortress crowning the hill immediately overlooking it, and whereof the four outer walls still remain, the Magyar chivalry, nearly @ hundred and fity years ago, were so wrought upon by the beauty and eloquence of Mania Teresa, who appeared in their midst, bear- ing her infant gon in her arms, that they, with one accord, waved their glittering swords in the air and swore that memorable oath—“Moriamur pro Rege nostro, Maria Teresa,” Further on is Komorn, one of the strongest for- tresses in Europe, where the Hungarians, in the war of 49, onder General Kiapka, successfully re- sisted all attempts of the Austrians to dislodge them, The comparison so often made between the Danube and the Rhine does not strike one until some little distance below Komorn, when the flatness of the river banks is gradually re- lieved by the upspringing of a chain of hills, cov- ered with vineyards, which increases in boldness and in range until it forms @ magnificent purple- hued background for the Cathedral of Grau, which 18 perched on the summit of a pre- cipitous rock Raia om the river, and is undoubtedly the most picturesque object on the whole Mag 9 That eccentric but wonderfully powerful artist, Mr. J. W. M. Turner, would have made a splendid picture of Gran Cathedral; so could Clarkson Stanfield, and Heath could have en- graved it for his “Landscape Annual.” It is more than probable that Mr. Chevalier, a gentleman at- tached to the Prince’s suite, will depict the scene as observed from the Ariadne’s deck—the cupola bathed in the soft rays of the etm: sun, the river dimpled with the reflections of light and shadow, whirling swiftly round the base of the steep crag, the green vineyards and the white houggs of the town standing out in bold relief against the sombre background of purple mountain. The ruins of Visgegrad, a cluster of towers and battlemented walls on the summit of an isolated hill, are said to equal in Wild grandeur the finest scenery to be found on the Rhine, but it was too dark as we steamed by to form by are like an adequate ap- preciation of them, r away in the distance immer the lights of P @ wavering line of jamps connecting the long of the bril- liantly lit streets with the tapers in the Hada cottages, marking the 0: of the suspen- sion bridge, and in a few minutes the Ariadne glides under the shadow of the forts ‘mount- ing Boer and quietly takes uj iT position alongside the quay. EXORSSIVE CURIOSITY DISAPPOINTED, The voyage down the river had been performed go quietly and the Princes had been so periectiy free from intrusion that it was imagined their in- cognito should have been respected and their Rretaee in the Hungarian capital onremarked. ‘his idea, however, was at once dispelled when, by the light of the rising moon, one saw the vast masses Of homanity lining the quay and stretching jar away into the beighboring streets. The paddies of the Ariadne had scarcely ceased to revolve be fore three energetic geatiemen, in full evening coe fume, white-gioved and bareheaded, on bor ee aka down upon him with ad- congratulati I les y as tot Dine of “Génevievé de Brabant” tek Caan odzliteh, who has been deputed by the Emperor to attend on his English guests, cut the worthy magistrate very short and led the way to the car- Tiages in waiting. The crowd, by whom the Prince ‘was received with great enthusiasm, was so dense that it was with the utmost dificulty that the horses could move, but they struggled on until Ties Feacnad the doors of his hotel, and then the confusion culminated. The front of the hotel is on the Corso, the fine river promenade, but the entrance is in @ small and narrow side street. Through this culvert the mob surged furiously to and iro. + By dint of whipping and shouting the coachman brought hia horses up to the portico, but the carriage was so hemmed in and surrounded by the crowd that it was impossible for those inside the vehicie to open the door or for the porter and waiters to fight their way serene and extricate their distinguished visitors. A handful of police was swept away like Autumn leaves on a swollen stream; @ half dozen soidiers, acting as sentries were borne back, and flattened like moths against the wall. Inside the house the scene was almost as bad, The hall and staircases were lined with real or pretended guests of the hotel. In vain the pro- prietor with folded hands implored them to retire, In vain thersoldiers on guard trampled on their toes or poked their backs with the butt-ends of their muskets. To gratify their curiosity, to catch sight ef the Prince, they would have borne any amouns of pain. They were, however, doomed to disap- pointment. Finding it impossible to leave the car- Tage the Prince drove off to dinner at the Casino, oble's Club, and stole quietly back to the hotel on foot, and unrecognized, at midnight. Monpay, May 12. The Archauke Joseph, who represented hig brother, the Emperor, at Pesth, is devermined that. his guest, who had but a limited time at his dis- posal, should not lack for amusement during hia Stay, amd accordingly this merning there was @ De breakiast at the Archduke’s palace on the largaret Island. This island, whieh lies about a mile and 4 half up the Danube, is as pretty a spos as you could wish to see, laid out much after the manner of a nobleman’s park in England, beauti= fully wooded and rich in verdant turf and primrese banks. The Archduke seems to mingle his pleasure: with business, much after the fashion of John Gil- in’s wife, for he not only admits the public to the island (on payment) but he has erected & bath house or kursial, two large and excellent rea- taurants and a huge orchestra, in which daily pla: the best military band in Pesth, With these tractions it is not to be wendered at that the M: garet Island is the favorite resort of the Pesth citi- zens and that the Archducal revenues are propor- ttonately benefited. On this special occasion, however, the general public was not admitted to the grounds, and the Prince’s party and the guesta specially invited to meet them had the island to themselves. At about five in the afternoon the whole party embarked on a steamer which had been chartered for them, and proceeded up the river to a@spot where a regatta, conducted by the Pesth Rowing Club, was only awaiting their arrival to begin. The scene was pretty and animated; in the background loomed the huge fortress-crowned Blocksberg, with the white-faced houses of Ofer swarming up its sides and lower spura; on the left lay the green shady banks of Margaret; on the right timber yards and factories, whose erainary occupants seemed to have struck work and were lining the shore. Several steamers, densely cram- med, were hove to in the immediate neighborhood of the course, and on the smartest of them a military band struck up “God Save the Queen’ as the Prince’s boat took up her position. The rowing was in no way remarkable, save in one race for “ordinary boats of the country’—clumsy, ai hd craft, stem and stern both out of the water, pulle by four stalwart oarsmen and steered by a cox- swain who stands up in the stern sheets with a weapon like @ long-handied broad spade or shovel, with which he digs into the water at every stroke of the oars, and spurns it away behind bim with immense vigor. TvESDAY, May 13, 1873. This has been a busy day. Prince Arthur was up very early, and, Sopzipanied by bis equerry, Lieu- tenant Pickard, went over the barracks, the arsenal and the jfile depot. Of all the Queen’s sons Prince Arthur is the steadiest and the most practical. Since he joined the army he hag made the study of his profession the main business of his life. At the Autumn manceuvres of 1871 and 1872 the Prince took a subordinate but a laborious Dositfon, and acquitted himself well, and he has given one or two lectures on special military mat- ters, which proved that he had devoted much study to the topic discussed. In the morning the Prince of Waies visited the Esterhazy collection of noe and the Museum, returning to luncheon ag he Casino, Whence he was fetched’ by Count Paul Esterhazy, and, mounting a break, went spinning Mp a straight, dusty road to Rako’s race course as fast as the four blooded horses, admirab! “tooled” by the Count, could carry him. The flel of Rakos, once the place where the Diet, the great national assembly of the Magyar, was held. is now used asa race course by the nobles of Pesth, who are remarkably “horsey” in their tastes, many of them keeping large studs of thoroughbreds, with trainers and jockeys imported from England. The course is about tour miies from the city (and every window was filled and each side of the road was lined with people ing with delight at the never-ceasing stream of vehicles which for two hours poured out of Pesth), circular and well-kept, with &@ long, handsome stand, divided into state ae boxes, &c., and with excellent accommoda- jon for saddifng, Lay &c. As I took my place in front of the stand I bethought me of the last time I was on @ race course. It was at Jerome Park, about the middle of last September, and the scene was before my memory—the splendid hot day, the immense excitement of the crowd—it was the first occasion of Harry Bassett’s defeat bp Monarchist—the hideous, stolid Sioux Indians om the first row of the galleries; Mr. Belmont, caim and impressive, on the stewards’ stand, and Jonn Morrissey stemming tie human torrent like a swimmer and parting it to right and left with each movement of his brawny shoulders. Now the wea- ther is coid and the sky Overcast; but there is atilla good assemblage. The centre of the gailery is re- served for the Archduke’s party, and there is bevy of beauties assembled, the mot striking whom, perhaps, are the Princess Esterhagzy, in mauve silk, and a renowned London belle, the Countess of Dudley, whose husband. Earl Dudley, has a reputation, or rather a notoriety, for bi wealth and his eccentricity. Lady Dudley, who ia a sister of Lady Mordaunt, whose domestic affairs formed the cause of judicial inquiry two years since, is dressed in a tight-fitting green velvet jacket an long biack skirt. Ail the ladies are in gala toilets, which look somewhat out of piace this cold di and form strong contrast te the overcoats an waterproois in which most of the gentlemen ara wrapped. After a little time, however, the sum core forth, and matters assume a more genial ue. There were five races, of which the last was & steeplechase, over a very fair hunting country, the jumps being of course ‘‘made,"’ and not uatural, but stiff enough for any ordinary purpose. All the racing was good. In more than one instance the leading horse was challenged at the distance and beaten on the post by one whose jockey had made @ waiting race of it, and, keeping his horse for the finish, secured the victory by what is knewn among turfmen as a “Chifney rush.” A Hungarian jockey, riding @ mare belonging to Prince Esterhazy, a! with surely questionable taste, named ‘Mile. raud,” was twice thrown by the mare’s buck- jumping in the preliminary canter, but resolutely remounted and had the satisiaction of Ree the race, while the steeplechase was carried o! by Brigantine (a mare, if i mistake not, engaged in the Oaks of 1871) in excellent style. Of the day’s erformancer, however, by far the most in- resting was @ race of Hungarian horses, ridden by their present masters, which was improvised expressly for the amusement of the rinces, The horses varied in style and breeding. The winner was a long, raking chestnut, but there were several seedy loeking screws and one heavy animal, evidently fresh from agricultural employ- ment, The riders were draped in white shirt over which they wore a colored sleeved waiste and long, baggy, white pants. They rode without any saddle and with the rudest and crudest kind of bridie. When the flag was Groped as a signal for starting haif of the horses would not get away; several stepped and kicked, others shumtied off sideways, trying to edge out of the course. These were whooshed at and beaten by the bystanders amid roars of laughter, and two or three did not Start until the foremost horse had nearly com- pleted his career, but still persisted in ranning the Saudiing bell fof the nest race had been rung. | ling bell for the n 3 . eee EDMUND Yates, YALE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
