‘GNPREQUENTED FLORIDA Future Places of Resort Described. ————s AN ABOMINABLE RAILROAD. The “Rise” of St. Mark's River— Lake Miccosukie. THE WAKULLA SPRING. A Beautiful and Wonderful River Source. —s TaLcanassre, Fla., May 8, 1877. Western or Middle Florida 1s, 1 am convinced, dea. tized tp asbort time to be almost as much visited as Bt, Augustine and the Su Jobn’s and Ocklawahe rivers, The cause which has retarded the interest due to this region s the deplorable and perfectly abominable mature of travelling accommodations which are far worse than the annoyances and hardships of stage-coaching n the good ola days which Dickens bas taken such especial delight in frequently describ. tng * It seems strange that the State of Florida, hold- ‘mg arenk among mighty and prosperous Common- wealths, should be so far in the rear of civilization. The bardons and ravages of war wero certainly less frightful bere than in South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia; and yet these States are to-day far abead of ber 1 material comforts and facilities, as they are,in the development of a healthy political spirit, which would here be considered unworthy of Southrons. If Floridians ever possessed any energy of ebaracter they have Jost it, for wherever 1 have gone I have seen evidences of a lack of thrift which is af painfal to one bred to Yankee traditions as would & solecism be to the judgment of a pedant. THE TOURISTS’ HUGBEAR, The greatest example of this deficit is perhaps the railroad which connects Jacksonville with Chattahoo- chee. It affords the only direct link of transportation between the Eustern coast, the great routes to the North and those ledding w St. Louis, New Orleans and Texas, Here lies ina disgracefuily abortive con- | dition a great enterprise, which might, and of neces- sity would, rival the roaas between New York and Chicago if completed and intelligently managed. At present I desire to point it out for the scorn ot the world as the worst railroad that it was ever my coutempt- {ble luck to pass over. The torture it tnilicted on me was far worse than that I ever suffered on a corduroy turnpike in the backwoods, and I am inclined to thik thatthe devil himself could vot devise a better pen- ance for pleasure-seeking tourists, and have no doubt that in most cases it induces a profanity which tn- sures his power over the victims, They, however, are few; fornoone trom mere inclination will trust his bones, his temper and his soul to this rattling man- trap a second time. A LIST OFSAHOMINATIONS. Aside from the dangers of the route which are due to split rails, rotten ties and wheezy and superan- uated engines, the accommodations given passengers inside the cars are neither cleanly, coinfortable nor select, They reck with tho filthy es. sence and the sickening fumes -of tobacco, Tne seats are hard and are. At your elbow you may chanco to see eithera mean looking | “cracker” or an odorous negro, whose consciousness of bis political rights renders bim obtrusive and im- pudent. If the Northerner is so lucky as to escapo from either of these nightmares (the latter being em- phatically of a nocturnal aifinity in color at least), ho may perchance fall a victim to the conversation of two or three veritable Southrons. At first it may seem affable and well intended, but in due course an inevit- able vein of acrimony will creep in, especially directed against the prejudices of the listener. Thus he is berett of moral complacency as well as of physical comfort. The train shakes, quivers, trembles, bumps id bumps over anknown obstructions and Bways like a chip” at sea. The windows are not tight, and cinders, dust and smoke permeate your clothing and abide there, besides filling your nostrils, tickling your throat and starting a briny‘flow from your eyes. Despite the too hhberal ventilation the air is horribly close and foul. Your cheek pales with faintness and pausea; your eyes are beavy with a torturing headache; your apparel is soaked, so to speak, with dust and fumes and your bands and faco besmeared with it long before the moment for rolease from the journey arrives, “PLAT AND UNPROVITADLE You pass through some of the flatiest, most monot- ‘nous and desolate scenery on the continent, not ex- copting the desert of Arizona and the mawvaases terres of Dakota, before you arrive at Ellavilie, the home of Governor Drew, on the river so {amed from the tender though homely song— *Way down upon de Suwanee Rubber, Far, (ar away, Dere’s where my heart ‘s turning ebber, Dere’s where de ole folks stay. 1s may well be believed, as it 1s asserted, that the author of the words never saw the Suwanee River-— for 1 believo only an old negro, born and whipped on {ts banks, could long to revisit them, But trom Mon- tiegllo westward let the traveller rub lustily the foul window by which be sits and his eyes may be re- fresned with different scenes, snanimate but self-important vilinge and drive to LAKE MICCOSURIE, whose banks are quile hisioric, Le will rid himself for the time of the fumes of bis unpleasant travelling | quarters and enjoy a bit of scevery which will be quite refreshing after so many miles of weary progress through the lowlands of the South, The bluffs over- louking the iake were once the site of a village of tho Miccosuktes, where the followers of Do Soto cucamped. During the celevrated Seminole war General Jackson fought therea bioody battle and still may be seen many of the bullets with which his flintiocks were ged imbedded tn the anciont hveoaks and Chine trees which cast a lordly shade over the pot The landscape !s a quiet combination of forest, id, bill and vale, in the inidst of which nosties, in the cool jasire of iis amber surtace, the protuest gem Of water Ihave seen in the interior of Florida, The sbores are graced by oaks aud magnolias, ander which @ May-day pienic occurs once a year of the bewubty and gallantry of the two couatics. REAAPRABLE WURLPOOL, Near the lake there is ar whirlpool, sink or eddy, which was 0 d to have congestion with the infernat regious; wut experience demon- strated the error of euth superstition, Au ingenious young man painted lis name upon a piece of timber and cast it into the eddy. It disappearcd. A iow days alterward it was seen near Newport, floating down tb the curront of the St. Marks River by sev: sings 2 bel febermon, The lake, be it known, has no superticial Outlot. It is now said by the provincial sages chat the St. Marks derives from the lake its watere, and this is One of the soven wonders of Middle Floride, A LOST conNets Thero is, however, another marvel near tho lake, Many years ago a cornileld in the stead only a pond of water—in other words, a “siak.” In 1869 the neighboring planter awoke one morning to find that the pond bad entirely gove and in tue mide die of the vacated ved were two iinimense hillock of sand twelve or fiteen fect b Fieh in great pum. bers were found jying in the ficids for some distance | around, a it they liad Keon scattered by some strung? distarbance, Tho inliaviiautsy Leleve that a sortos | volcanic eruption occurred. ht the pond was fall of water andin the morning was dry, Tho bil Jocks are said to have gradually disappeared aad toe water, after many months, agun u the banks, TALLABA Again you consign yoursell to the donbttul convey- nce of the railroad.

Everythin; suggests the classie groves in which the philosophers of old taught their disciples. m 4 RESORT OF THE YUTURR. Tallahassee has thus far not attracted the gay crowd which goes to Jacksonville and St. Augustine, becar of the appaliing ordeal of travel, which I have but tmintly delineated, But it will inevitably bea point for the concourse of invalids and tourists alike, Its climate ia balmy and esalubrious In the extreme, ard baa no such enervating influence as may de observed on the east coast of Florida, too near the Gulf Stream, It ts bracing yet mild, The environments of bill, valley, forest and lake arc charming, and {t ts in the midst of the finest bunting ground south of tho st Lawrence and enst of the sMississippl. The drawbacks te its becoming an Inland Naples are the lethargy, almost inantty, of ite people, and their stubborn persistence in repelling their own good fortune. if tho facility of approach were tolerable they would not, of course, prevent hote! life from becoming very lively here, avd there are great possibilities in the completion and proper management of the railroad. A hotel keeper | of Saratoga, N. Y., declared to me the other day his belict that by boring artesian wells here fine geysers could be produced; and as mineral springs are so abundant in Florida there is not much donbt of medi- cinal waters being obtained. | ANOTHER MARVEL. Lake Jackson, but soven miles from here, is lovolier than Lake Miccosukie, and if its shores wore dotted with villas would not bo unlike Lake Mahopac. It, | Aike almost every other body of water in this strange jand, has !ts marvellous story. Over fitteen years ago it was drained of all “sinkhole” which exists somowhere in its bed. Fish were picked up by the planters’ slaves by thousands and hauled away on country wains, For some years the water returned very slowly, and meanwhile the dry bed was planted withcorn, Many acres were thus utilized, and it is relaved that the last crop was not ripened until after the lake was again nearly full, and that it was gutherod in boats, A REAL WONDER, Tho greatest attraction of Middio Florida, and that which draws most tourists to Tallahassee, is a wonder ful spring, which forms at one outburst a river that flows into the Gulf, It ja sixteen’ miles south of the capital, and is reached by an abominably sandy road, lying through a wilderness of scrub oak and pine most wearisome to the eye, After descending from the breezy hills about the city you lose all glimpses of beauty until you ap- proach, through a ‘narrow path, densely fenced by | thickets, the Wakulla Spring. A dusky boatman awaited me there, and I was soon revelling in the wonders of a scene which I do not think is less beauti- fal than the dreams of Aladdin, The most poetical description could not do it Justice, HOME OF THE MeaMaivs, ‘The spring, or small “loch” as it might properly be called, is about five hundred yards wide, and its banks are crowded with cypresses, bays, magnolias and oaks, in splendid exuberance of vernal attire, If on the, Wacissa River 1 had folt as if I were suspended between two heavens, tho nether one | veing the more limpid, I have perhaps robbed myself of the superlative of expression which should only have been employed bere, ‘The water is perfectly colorless, but the reflection of sky and forest mingled with the rays of the sun unite to produce the effect of | agreenish blue tinge more exquisite than dyer evor conceived, The sand below and the rocks, which are really white, partake of the illusion, The brilliant crystal-like transparency of the medium on which I floated caused a thrill to pass through me which was something very like tropidation. I looked timidiy over the side of the boat, and it seemed like peer. | ing through the diamond-paned roof of » fairy palace, But the fanciful delusion gave way to the most absorbing wonder at the reality, In the southern portion of the spring a great shelf can be distinctly seen, over which tho water as it rises flows southward—a river. 1s looks but acouple of yards below the boat, but is in tact more than ninety fect. The rock abruptly breaks off here and is the verge of a veritable abysa, the bottom of which has never beea fathomed, 11 extends tar undor the ragged | sheit, and out of that black and mysterious vestibale of other mermaid halls, still deoper in the vast crypts of the earth, slowly boils a buge volume of water, The eye tails to pierce that DARK AND DISMAL PROFUNDITY, but ever and anon a great Osh wiil be seen to rise Into the lighter regions and wheel about and aboutas if dazed by a forced and rapid voyage just completed through places alien to the sun. The bubbles rise, rise, rise, like a fountain of infinitisemal diamonds. A hitue be- yond the edge of the submerged cliff 1 was just able to see the bottom by the sparkle of the sand. The old boatman told me that the depth there is 200 feet, and 1 believed him, for fishes which were far above the | bottom seetned still fartuer from me. Patriarchal trout, such as seldom grace the cuisine, moved inajesti- cally through their element, sometimes even pre- serving a kind of order like @ line of battle, ther biack shadows cast upon the bottom seeming so many other finny monsters. More numerous than they, even, were the muilet, whose scales in the singular chips of opal. They seemed to be taking their consti- tational exerciso and enjoying tho glory of the sun tn the lambent dopths of their crystal palace, 1 ware Venture toast they would scorn General Vleasonton and bas given them. Where the river flows out of the apring I saw other of (he tribe repeatedly darting from the water in piny at least four feet above the surface, | ‘rho hues of the spring changed with the ripples mado | by our paddies from sapphire to emerald, Irom em- eral to diamond and {rom diamond to opal WALL PRESERYRD BRANDY, While [ gazed into that enchanted worla the boat- } man related certain incidents which I had heard betore in connection with tho spring.

EX-GOVERNOB BROWN ACCUSES SENATOR GORDON WITH SELLING OUT THE DEMOCBATIC PARTY AND ELECTING HAYES. Ever since Hayee was declared elected President of the United States there has been a bitter feud between several of the leading citizens of Georgip Now ex- Governor Brown charges Senator Gordon and Jolin ! Young Brown with selling out Tilden and betraying the democratic party tor the benefit of Hayes and the repudiicans, There bas been much excitement about tt throughout the State, and the feeling culminated in open ietters tp the sewspapers trom ex-Governor Brown and Senator Gordon, in Governor Brown’e letter, printed in the Augusta (Ga) Constitution, May 1, he gaid that im provious articles be bad charged that a great wrong was ‘perpetrated by this transac. tion cpon the American peopie and especially on the democratic party. Governor Tilden bad been elected by almost a million majority of the white voter nd The city tg one of unsightly dis-} ne had carried » decidea majority of the Electoral | tances. For its air of decay the magnificent groves | College in the popular vote, yet, in {ace of all these undoubted facts, he was counted out A heavy re- sponsibility for this transaction. rested upon the shoulders of some of the public men, and at the proper time the people would be apt to locate the respousi- Dility where tt belonged. This responsibility rested mainly on the shoulders of Hom John 8. Gordon, United States Senator fur Georgia, and the Hon, John | Young Brown, Representative from Kentucky. 1{ have claimed that they entered tntoa contract or capital understanding with Hon. Charles Foster anc possibly others of the republican leadere to permit the count to procecd at a time when the disposition of the democrats in the House to prevent its completion was 80 strong that they (when i was goen that the couut was proceeding fraudulently aug when a large propor- lion of the democratic representatives were roady to defeat hs consummation by dilatory motions and par- Namentary tactica), could scarcely be cousrolled. © Since se appearance of these articles a letter was published im reply, purporting to be from Senator Goraon to Colonel Billups, in Which Senator Gordon says he was uot 6 member of tbe House, had no vote inthe House and had no responsibility tn the count for Prosident; also that ho never influenced nor sought to influence the votes of the dlibusters or those who | were agains! them, The charge that he bargained or had any understanding with Foster or stanley Matthews 1s false in overy particular, In reply to thia ex-Governor Brown said that his charges could be sustained, and he proceeded to quote trom one of John Young Brown's published statements and trom other letters included tn the well known cor- rezpondence between Matthews, J. Y. Brown and Gor- don, In conclusion the ex-Governor says:— “1 submit the question to every honest, candid citi- zen of Georgia who reads the above quotations from Brown’s pabishec statements and the lettera ad- dressed to Brown and Goruon, the one signed by Fos- ter alone and the other by Foster and Matthews, whether there 18 any room for reasonable doubt that i Senator Gordon fully understood the whole uegotia- tions and transaction, and was a party to the bargain, contract or understanding, call i whatever you may, by which it was agreed that the count shouid proceed and Hayes should bo inaugurated, and when imaugurated bh uid remove the troops from south Carolina and Louisiana, Otherwise why were Brown | and Gordon discussing the policy of Hayos’ admin: tration with Foster beiore tue count was compiote Genera) Gordon caunot escape by alleging that he said nothing during the transaction, It is true Brown does not quote the language of Gordon, but he tells us that he outhmod what be tatended to say to Foster to Gor- don in advance, and Gordon said be would go with him with pleasure, Gordon was preeen} during the whole its water through a | conversation, heard it all and doubtiess participated | | minated yesterday by the United States Marsnal taking Brown says it was long and earnest and sat- tory tv his frieod Gordon and . ol.a Senator in that case was very plai When Brown oitimed the statement to him whick he intended to make to Foster, looking to this bargain, he enould | promptly have rejected it ang refused to have any- thing to do with the tranractiOn, He could with great propriety have said that tho bonor of u democratic Senator of Georgia would not permit bim to consider such a proposition of bargain and gale for a moment. Then he could have justly denied that bho made any ‘bargain of any sort, or bad any understanding o! uny character’ with Foster looking vo Presidential light which fell through the watery lens looked like j his bine glass in the greater dleseing whica Providence | count “L have never at any time since I have been old enough to vote tailed to support the democratic can- di@ate for President and Vice President except tho condidate of 1868. At that time the then so-called democratic party stood upon neither the platiorm of the democrauc party prior to the war nor tbe demo- cratic platform of 1872 and 1876. 1 have, thereiore, never failed in a single instance to support the nom- inees of the democratic party when the candidates stood upon the principles of the democratic party as recognized prior to tho War or as at present recog- nized, General Gordon’s partisans cannot, therelore, justly charge me with apy such act of disloyalty to ‘the party as I)bave proved he committed. I never was @ party to the salo(call it by what name you may) of four years of democratic adminfStration for the performance of a single act by the opposition, | and I certainly never woald assuine the respousibility, as ho did, of making atrade for iny party if 1 could vot make a better one than was made by him and his as- sociate, ”? COMMENTS BY TH“ GEORGIA PRESS, {From the Columbas (Ga) Enquirer, May 5.} Ex-Governor Brown is credited with having a very long bead by those who havo borrowed his money. Ho was among the very strongest secessionists, and seized United States property before the State of which ho was Chief Executive had passed tho ordinance of seccs- sion. If bo had such clear foresight why did he not prophecy tho regult as Stephens did? Oa the contrary he precipitated the conflic, A short time elapses and we find him more than any other man in the entire Contederacy demoralizing the Gecrgia troops in the Southern armies, and thus aidingtheenemy. Ask avy of the Georgia troops if this Is pot sv. The revolution closes, and he is the only Goorgia lawyer to prosecute Georgia young men before a military court for United States gold, He had the choosing of standing true by the side of the South or joing her oppressors, He Joined the latter, With his aid the State could havo been quicker restored to Lome rule, Between Gordon, a democratic candidate, and Bullock, a carpet-bagger, he supported the jatter, He was chosen Sapreme Court Judge by carpet-baggers;, but, thank Heaven, while running as their date for United Staves Senator, tue democrats had strength and iofluence to beat him, He acted with the radicals turoughout, and it owas a matter of eurprise to all when 1% wie announced he would support Tide Now he gives seemingly plausible reasons for his course, but they were not heard of antil Jast year, Now this newly converted domocrat is charging our purost and best men with bargain and sale, Tne peo- ple do not forget thus eariy, Whoro is the remarkable foresight of the ex-Governor? He has made money during and since the war, Thousands have douo the same. He was once a delegate to 8 Repubscan National Convention. This 1s covsistent democracy in his eyea Had he nov betier check to some extent his new born zeal? He must grow in grace before he can be trusted, The Kiestoral Commission had passed asa demo- cratic measure, The momvers met, The decisions wero against Tilden. When Florida and Louisiana were decided for Hayes all chances for ‘tilaen were gone. The choico was betweon Hayes or some worse radical who would be ciected President of the Senate. Hayes was far preterable to Mor That ‘Tiden could be filibustered 10 at that stage of the game ‘was an impossibility, and John Young Brown, Levy, of Louisiana, aud others, with Gordon present, aud advised by Lamar, endeavored to secure pledges’ from Hayes that troops would be removed trom Louisiana and South Carolina and succeeded, the cheek to charge John Young Brown and Gordon with selling out Tilden, Tue trick is too transparent We say thes did right, and the south applauds their action, and Hampton and South Carolina have publicly thanked Gordon. Joey ls. i# very siy, bat be must try some other tack to secure position. A MILDER VIEW. [From the Augasta (Ga) Chronicle and Constitution- alist, May 6.) it bag been po secret for some time past that tho | nent men of this State, the subject it was removed by the lever of Genoral ernor Brown, puviished in the Chronicle and Constitu- | lionalist of yesterday. Governor Brown charged Gon- crai Gordon, substantially, with having sold out tbe demvcracy during the progress of the electoral count, General Gordon denied that he had dove this, and Governor Brown bas replied repeating lis previews assertion and offering testimony which he says proves its correctness, We do vot propose at this lume (o discuss (he questions of fact growing out of this corresponuence.

The plaintifl, Miss Mary Van Cots, ts a te brunette, of winsome maunerg and liboral attain- ments, Sho claims that in the month of Januar; 1874 (she being then but fiteen years of age), she formed tho acquaintance of hor buse deceiver at an entertainment, Pott was very assiduous in bis atton- } tions, and Mary’s pleasing ways so charmed the neart of the Washington Market vegetarian that, taking ad- vantage of the youth and guielessness of his fair in- aworata, the loving pair soon gained the mutual con- ; sont of the elder Van Cotts and Potts to their pproaching nuptual ceremony. in the meantime the guy and festive Pott became vory attentive to Miss Van Gott, aud they together were Sit seen perambulating the avenues of this great m olis, and the assertion 4g bazarded that during perogrinations tho sturdy Pott, with the eloquence id elegance too oft possessed by certain of the sterner sex, succeeded in {nstilling tm the mind of the too confiding Mary such tales of Jove ard aflection us caused tho resuit Mary now so biterly regrets.

A novel and interesting question has just been ar- gued before the General Term of the Supreme Court, Flauran & Son failed while the son was abroad.

An hssignment was accordingly made to Mr. Salmon, the assignment belug executed by the partner here and by the absent one through his attorney in fact, Indignant creditors filed a com- piaint to have a receiver appointed upon the ground that an assignment could not be executed under a power of attorney. The motion for a recoiver was denied and the case was argued on appeal by Mr. Ransome tor the cred- itors appealing and by ex-Judgo Cardozo tor the re- spondent. AN ECCENTRIC WILL.

THE EPSOM SPRING MEETING—CIT¥ AND SUB- UBBAN AND METROPOLITAN HANDICAPS—TWO FINE DAYS’ SPORT, WITH LARGE FIELD AND CLOSE RACING. Loxpow, April 26, 1877, After the experience of visitors at the opening meet- ing of the Newmarket series of gatherings the woather voucnsafed during the two days of the Epsom meeting was a most pleasant and agreeable change. Epsom, by its easiness of access {rom the metropo- lis, is a much favored resort of the Londoners, and as it is possible to travel by train to witbin as short a dis- tance of the course as the Fordham Depot is to Je- rome Park, that mode of transit 1s fast superseding the old-fashioned custom of driving through the lovely Surrey lanes. Added to that there is at the time of the spring meeting a tolerably good chance of getting a soaking ere home is reached by the road, no matter how promising the appearauces may be early in the day, Such a case did happen on the first day (Tues- day), the rain coming down in torrents immediately the racing had been brought to a conclusion, Dorling’s ‘*K’rect card” of the first day’s racing pre- sented rather a formidable appearance, seven races being sot for decision between the hours of half-past ono and five, and no less than 134 starters being colored on the card. It was no wonder, therctore, that the attendance was very great, presenting more the appearance of a moderate Derby day gathering than of City and Suburban day. The Epsom course is shaped very much like a horseshoo, the jockeys riding with thoir left to the inside of the track. The tull course or old Dorby course 1s exactly one milo and a half, tho first half mile on the ascent, the next third of a mile level, then a descent to the distance (240 yards from the finish) when {t rises all the way tothe finish, The new Derby courso, first used in 1872, starts at the new high level starting post and runs into theo!d course by the milo post, All fractional distances aro run upon tho old course, except the hulf-mile course, which is perfectly straight, running Into the regular course at Tattenham Corner, The finish from the rise at the distance is on the side of a slope, no attompt baving been made to alter the lay of the land, and tho -uppor or grand stand side must be three or jour feet higher than the lower sido of the course at the judges’ ebair, In the centro of the course the ground resembles the frog of a borse’s hoof, only that it is reversed and ex- teuds from the toe backward, instead of irom the hee! Thus on the inner sides of the course at start and finish there are a couple of valleys with a ridge in the centre. On the top of this ridge a large crowd always congre- gates to witness the start and finish of any important race, and from the grand stand tho spectacle of this lengthened-out group has a most peculiar appearance. The first race on Tuesday was the customary Trial Stakes tor all ages, ef one mile, and all of the ten en- tered were duly saddled before the course was fully cleared for their preliminary canter past the stand, Captain Macholl’s Farnese, four yéars, and Lord Anglesey’s Grey Friar baving shown themselves in form at Newmarket, were the favorites at 3 to 1, while Hellenist, taking a 14 Ibs. selling allowance, was the next choice of backers Farnese could not go the ney, and Grey Fri who ran well and held t vo within a hand yards of the finish, suc- cumbed to Hellenist and anotber selling allowance claimant, Lord Byron, the filly shooting up next th rails at the lower end of the atand und winning by a longth and a half. A two-year-old maiden plate of half a milo came next, and Birdic, by Macaroni, out of Molly Carew, won very easily by four lengths from eleven opponents, Archer coming away with her trom the distance. ‘Tbese races wero but‘ trifling aflurs compared with the all important evont which followed, THE CITY AND SUBURBAN HANDICAP, of 15 cove. each, 10 forfeit, and only 6 if declared, with 200 sovs, added; one mile and a quarter. O! tho thirty-llve probable starters seven declined to put in an appearance, so that the feld numbered twenty- eight, from Chaplet, 5 yours, 111 Ibe., to the hght- werghted Cartridge and Chesterfield at 77 lbs. rhe market movements in connection with this race during the past two weeks have been of the most in- explicable character, the favoritism changing about { from one to another with daily regularity. False trials were resorted to for the purpose of rigging the market, and no later than on Monday a bogus telegram ‘was recvived by Me: Weatherby, purporting to have come from Mr. highly respected owner of Julius Cwesar, to scratch his ho the then favor ite, The consequence was the horse was knucked ou an the betting, and those in the swim then took ad- vantage of the opportunity they bad created and F 4 some long prices about Mr, Gee’s candidate, ‘he denial of the genuineness of the telegram was no sooner made public than Julius Cwsar joined tho leading rank ih company with Lord Rosebery’s Touchot and Sr, Lambert's Balpriggan. On tne cour: Julius Csar and fouchet were about equal favorites, Dut a rush on the latter and Balbriggan deprived Mr. Gee's colt of the premiership, tne closing prices being as follows:—13 to 2 against Touchet, 15 to 2 against Balbriggan, to against Julius Cesar, 100 to 12 against Chaplet. Of the re- mainder the prices ranged {rom Hesper at 12 to 1 to Jamos Pegg and Dr. Gully at 200 to 1. The prelimi- Dary canter was watched wiih interest, and it was gou- eraily agreed that nothing showed better than the | favorite, Chaplet, and Jutius Gmsar, the latter being | equipped with a hood, though he bebaved well enough | throughout the race, When Mr. McGeorge took 1h | Geld in charge upon their arrival at the mile anda quarter post he Lad some little difficuliy m getting them off satisfactorily, but after about twenty minutes delay the flag was at last dropped to a veny pecs emaes, considering the magnitude of the field. Julius Carsar, on the inside, got off weil and snowed clear of the others fpr a hundred yards or 60, when he was steadied, Teaving Tassel to carry on the running in company with Warren Hastings and Touchet. Behind them came a dozen or more in a cluster, Vulturno, Chesterfield, 1H Clear of all was Corsair and Dr. Gully. So well did t horses keep together that there was no change in tl order of running tll they began t proached Tattontiam Corner, when Rosbach, anothe: Lord Rosebery’s representatives, joined Toucnet | Tassel, these three turning into the straight with a clear lead, though Rosbach made so wide a turn that He lost place, and shortly after he was beaten, iikewise ‘Tassel. This leit Touctiet in command, and he was | Immodiately joined by Lord Rosebery's third string, The Snail, while bebind them lay Jultus Cwear ao yy Ag ist in frout of a wide row of struggling candi- dates, In the bottom of the dip Julius Cagar jomed the leaders, whereupon The Snati beataretreat. Halt way up the bill Arcier shook up Mr. Gee's colt, where- upon ho immediately shut to the front and won very eusily by stx longths, ee made bis offort atthe same lime as Juhus Cesar, but, being unable to get on anytiing jike terms with the winner, was eased into third place Unree-quarters of a length behind Touchet, | The Snail fourth, Hesper ftth and Johu Day sixth, be- bind whom a whole lot finished tn a cluster, the last ofall beng James Pegg, Dr. Gully and Warren Hast. ings, Time by Bennett's curonograph, 2m. 1 Chaplet, when running weil at Tattenbam Corner, broke a biood vessel and had her chance extinguished, | the monvy stands on the books of the bank.

A ROW IN THE DARK. A number of idle and bad characters frequent the bridges in the Park after nightfall. On Friday evening OfMfcer Russell, of the Park police, had driven some persons from ono of the bridges, and upon coming back saw a man, who appeared to be one of the crowd, return. Apprehensive of assault, and as the night was so dark that he could nos distinguish plainly, Russell caught hold of tho man, and had no sooner done so than he was struck across the face several times. He drew hia club und plied it across the un known’s head until the man shouted ‘Police !’? ‘Wh: I'm a policeman,” said Russell, “The devil you are!” was the reply. Thero was an attempt at explanation, but it resulted im the citizen being brought to the Fifty-seventh Street Court yesterday. Russell accused the man, who gave his name as Ferdinand Imhorst, of No, 262° West Twenty-iirst street, of assault. Mr, Imhorst was discharged, and thon made complaint against the officer, who was paroled tor further exam- ination. i] REAL ESTATE.
