Aa excellent start waz made, all getting away together, Tow soon took the load, ‘and-maja: tained it to the end of tho course. At Chelswick church Hosmer came in a good second, Riley third and Nichol- son last. The timeof the heat was 16 minates and 22 seconds. The race was a fine one, Hosmer best Riley for the second place between three and a half and four leogihs. The water was smooth, being on the slack tide.

Special Dispateh to The ee. New York, November 20, 1a. m. —Col. Robert Ingersoll s stopping in thecity for a few daye, and is rece ing many friends and visitors. In an interview he was asked: ““How do you regard the present po- litical situation! “My opinion is that the ideas_the north” fought for upon the field have at last triumphed at_the ballot box. For several years after the rebellion was put down, eouthern ideas traveled north, We lost West Virginia, New Jersoy, Connecticut, New York and great many congressional districts in other states. We lost both houses of congress, and every southern staie. Southern ideas reached their climax in 1876. In my judgment the tide bas changed, and hereafter northern ideas are going south, Old democrats are dying, and thecradle is beating the coffin. 1tis a race of life and death, and life is ahead.” “What kiud of a president do you think Garfield will make?” My opinion is that he will make a1 good a_president as the nation ever had. Ho is fully equipped. He will treat the south just the same as the north. He will be president of the wiole country. He will not exe- cute the laws by compass, but accord- ing to the constituron. I do not speak for Gen. Garfield, nor by any authority from his friends.” “Ts there any probability that Mr. Sherman will be retained in the cabl- net “I believe Gen. Garfield is well enough acqnainted with public men to choose & cabinet that will = im and the country. I believe ho will select his own constitational advisers, and take the best he knows.” Continuing, Mr. Ingerscll said, ‘A statesman must deal with things as they are; he must not be like Glad- stone, who divides his time between foreign wars and amendments to the book of common prayer. I regard religion 2s a personal matter, which each individual soul should be allowed to settle for itself. No man in the brogans of impudence should walk into the temple of another man’s soul in regard to religion. In politics, if Catholica oppose public schools, I would not oppose them because they are Catholics, but because I am In fa- vor of public schools as the intellec- tusl bread of life. I respect every honest man, and I think more of a liberal Catholic than I do of an {llib- eral infidel.

And the First {Thing He .. Hearsis Complaint of Jay Gould’s Monopoly. Colorado Bound to be Eman- cipated from the Clutches ot the Grasping Pacific. Gorrespendenco of T Bes. Dexvee, Col., November 16, 1880, —A trip to Colorado at any season of the year Is at once pleasant, interest- tng and nstructive in the highost de- greo. Daring the last few months I have traveled over a great extent of the Centennial state, crossing its plains by the Atchison, Tapeka and Santa Fe railway, and then wandering over its gold and silver distelots In a light-wagon or mounted on a mule and not unfrequently following the meanderings of some remote and hazardous Indian trail on foot, driv- ing & burro laden with ‘‘grub,” blankets and scanty assortment of weaing apparrel before me. This beautiful city of Denver is doubly welcome to the travoler after along journey across the plains or through the rugged mountain region, at the eastern base of which it is sit- uated. Itis genorally conceded that Denver is the best built city between St. Lculs and San Fraocisco, an thero i3 8 dash and_snimation {o the place,along with a finish and elegance, that suggests prosperity, wealth and eastern stability, as well as th gressive aud agzressive frontie: ver may indeed bo termed politan city, with comparatively the same varying social status as that of New York, the national capital, Chl- cago or St. Louis. Just now the place is crowded with & promiscuous mass of humanity, just in from across the “‘range”’—the miners and prospectors ‘greattreasury vaults of the world,” who, having passed the sum- mer montha In search of hidden treas- ure In the mountains, return to the frontier towns to pass the rugged montha of winter, unendurable in the 'r | mountain fastnesses. Dener was fora time complstely at themercy of that remoracless mon- opoiy, the Union Pacifiz railrosd, which dictated their own terms to her commerce, and in & degree stunted | ® and retarded her growth, but the | X completion of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe to Pucblo, a few years ago, emancipated her from her thraldom and since then her growth has been | sibility of a r connects with Denver by means of the Denver & Rio Grande railway at Pu- eblo. This road runing from Den- veris the ouly railroad that approach- es the rich mines of the Ssn Juan country and it is controlled by the A & Santa Fo. The Dol Norte, Silverton, Lnke City, Par- rott City, Ouray and the Guanison, is via, Pueblo and the Denver & Rio Grande road through the San Lulfs park to ita terminus, thence by stage. to the various poims to be reached, Almost sll merchan- diss supplies going in_ to the mountaina_of southwestern Colo- rado aro freighted from tho terminus of this rosd and all ore and bullion from the mines aud wool, hides, pelts and other material from the stock ranges, aud ranchesare started east- ward from that point by rail. Jay Gould has been endeavoring unre- mittingly, swce he obtained o, trol of the linen of the Pacifie railroad that connect Denvér with the Missouri river to get hold of the Denvef and Rio Grande, but has failed owing to the opposition of Genersl Palmer, the president of the road. Could he suc- ceed in accomplishing his purpose he would egain havo Denver and the usportation of all the flourishing mining camps of northwestern Colo- rado, including such flourishing tcwns as Georgetown, Central City, Boulder and G(’?den within his power, for he could cist off transportation to and from the east over the Atchison, Topoka and Santa Fe entirely, It ia not probable that Jay Gould will ever succsed, however, in securing control of the Denver and Rio Grande and Iikely he will turn his attention to the Denver and South Park road which will have a parallel line to the Gunni- son countfy. Thereismuch feeling manifested here over the high handed extortions of the Pacific manopoly, and tho people of Denver seem determined to eman: clpate themselves beyond the po: 30 from its clutches. Ofie of the most enterprising rallroads in the west, and cne of the best man- aged, tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, is working its way iuto Denver aud is recclving every en- couragement to rapid progress. The road is now running a line from Its western terminus, at Indianaia, Ne- braska, aloiig the fortieth pafallel in- to this city, coming fn over the Den- ver Paclfic. The Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy® management have bonght up the Golden, Boulder, Caribou and Pacifio _rallrcad. This line has only five miles of rosd laid and is scarcely known, biit its purchase was import- snt, as it gives the purchasers the right of way through the Boulder the confidence of . management give me positive sssuranco that this road will vigorously push the completion of its tracks fnto this city, and they are con- fident that trains will be run into line by the 4th of July next. Denver and Pueblo may be rezarded as the starting points for the various points of the mountains. Tourists and travolers make the latter point their base for visiting the San Juan country and the sonthwestera cities and miving towns snd camps of Colorado, while all the northern points among the mountain mines must te reached via the Color- ado_Central railway from Denver. This road, with “He Jorks snd brabch- es, is the main ariery of communica- 0 between Denver and the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific, and most of the ‘arming and coal districts, and the mining sections of Northern Colorado. The Denver & Rio Grande acts in a similiar capacity for sonthern aod central Colorado, and has the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe for its outlot and feeder. The Denver, Bollinsville & Western railroad has just been incorporated. The object is to bulid aroad from Ceniral City into Routt county, connecting various mining camps in the vicinity with Leadvill. The capital stock s $1,- 000,000, with the principal office in this city. It is the intention to eventually push the road through Utah aud to i Speaking of railtoads no better in- dication Colorado’ _increasing prosperity is needed than that shown by the traffic over the Denver and Rio Grande. The earnings of this little, crooked narrow guage road for the final week of last month were $152,- 973.18, a gain of nearly $100,000 over the corresponding period of 1879, the figures at that time being $59,966.46. Inthe entire month of October the earnings were $475,318 81, and in October of 1879 £150,073.82. There is no doabt that Colorado is rapidly becoming the most prosperous division of the west or, indeed of the whole country. Her varied and ex» tensive resources almost surpass com- prehension, and the vast flow of capi- tal and tide of emigration in this di- rection insure their rapid and early de- velopment. Rapid as the advance- ment of this new country has been, it evident that the record of tte past will bear no comparison with that of the future. To note some of these rosources, the mineral deposits, the stock ranges, the agricultural ranches, and the climatic nic features of this country, which is just now at- tracting so much attention, will be the province of the series of lotters which I propose sending yoa from this and other cities in the state.
