Success attended the effort on the New York Central Railroad yesterday * to beat the fast running record recently made by an Engilsh train. For 371 miles of the trip, that is, from New York to Rochester, the British record ‘was easily surpassed. Some time was lost between Rochester and Buffalo, ‘ut the result on the 440 miles from New York ‘was considerably above the Eng- Ash train's average. ‘This result was disappointing in a ‘way to the raliroad officials. They had hgped to approximate seventy miles ai hour. They succeeded in attaining «nly an average of 4.38 miles per hour. The English best averago, for a trip of H0 miles, was 63.25 miles per hour. On both ‘the British and American roads the engines made spurts of more than neventy miles to the sixty minuter, and to add to the credit of the American road there Is the fact that its engineers have to deal with pecullarities of the roodbed and grades unknown to thelr fellows in England. Not only are the American managers now ahead in spectal record-makivg, Dut ordinary passenger travel in the United States, day in and day out, is both more rapid and more comfortable than it is abroad. The declaration that the Harrison boom is strong in the East casts a serious reflection upon the strength of the Reed fences. WHEN THE CLUBS CLOSE ON SUNDAY. ‘The police are going to close up the clubs on Bundays. The Union League, the Millionaires’ Club, the Manhattan, all of them, down even to the Circle of Joy's Growler Club, will have to go dry Detween midnight Beturday and mid- night Bunday, just the same as the Cherry Hill groggeries and the Park Row three-cent schooner houses. ‘This will be rough on the men who have lots of money to spend for thirst- aking purposes and who will have to suffer Tantalus torture for one whole day in every week. Of course these mtlemen cannot unbend their dignity end seek the flowing bow! through back windows and scuttles in the roof, as the arid citizen of common clay does. Neither can they work the balloon-j! growler, which consists of a “duck” lowered from and raised to @ root by means of a string, ‘The poor, down-trodden club will feel the signs of the day very keenly, we are afraid, and if the Excise law is really and truly and cruelly enforced against them, we would not be surprised to find @ long line of gentlemen, with their tongues hanging far out, waiting for the opening of the doors of the Union League at 12 P. M, Sunday, Nelther would our eyes bulge very much if our good and reformatorial friend, Teddy Roosevelt, had a position very close up to the head of the line. While Roosevelt was letting the Union League think its bar was all right on @undays, was he turning the organiza- tion into a stuffed club’ NOT KRAPID TRANSIT.

WATCH THE BOOME. A correspondent in “The World” asked yesterday whut had become of the Morton boom for the Republican Presidential nomination, The Morton boom in all right. It fs Just as atrong ss it was some weeks ago, when It wriggled out of a caterpillar into a chrysalis. It is crawling slowly along in the glass case owned by Mr. T. ©. Platt. It is @ curious fact of politics that most candidates have men to take care of them, ‘Thus Cleveland was trained by Whitney in 1992, and now Morton is under the care of Piatt. Therefore, people who aro third-term- ophobists should not be alarmed, The gentleman at Gray Gables has no one to gujde him in polities, and what he is without a guide let Daniel La- mont and W. C, Whitney tell. Therefore, Mr. Morton's boom Was more bones in {t—looks stronger than Mr. Cleveland's Boom IV. At the same time, It must be remembered that Mr Morton's chances are a good deal lke glass beads and brass wire—things of Uttle value that a shrewd trader takes into Darkest Africa, whence he re- turns with ivory and gold dust. Mr. Platt is a shrewd old Arab at conven- tions, and he seldom comes back with- out something of value in his sack. The primary returns show that he will probably atill control the delegates, and he will be entirely able to take the ginss beads and brass wrie out to the convention, Keep your eye on the two booms. They will be the most interesting things in politics for some months to come, In the case of Mrs. Fleming, the Grend Jury rushed in where the Coro- ners jury couldn't see the evidence. It seems probable that the prosecution confided more fully in the higher body. THE SPOOKS AUT OVER THE HARLEM. Bpooks are making merry in the An- nexed District. They have been seen there lately in one, twor, threes, dozens around the cemeteries and stalking along the highways. Several police men have seen some of them, and all the reports come from sources that make them startling and eerie, with the ald of flesh-croeping aMdavits, Some of the ghosts have been heard holding mournful conversagiones in sepulchres, and one man says he saw 100 of them dancing a breakdown on tombstones in @ graveyard. ‘We have no idea what caused this sudden burst of joy in ghostdom. It may be thought that the spiritualistic mediums have raised the wages of their spooks, and tha the folk» on the shining sphere who do so much to interest and entertain us in seances and circles are happy over the new scale. Mediums charge $1 and §2 @ sitting, and it {8 only reasonable that the ghosts that help them to peer into the future and to cure allments ranging from mumps to appen- dicitts should share in the rewards of the busine: If the spooks’ walking delegate has secured them @ raise of wages, and the spook mills are about to start into full Dlast again, with a promise of brighter and better times for ghosts generally, then there is good cause for rejoicing in Bpookland, and our only other remark to the light-fantasticating spectres is the Tam O'Shanterish advice to go it while they're young! The Yorktown’s captain says he didn't mean to be in the way Tuesday, at the yacht race. Better than not meaning to be in the way is making sure of not being in the way. It's easy, too. It fs merely a rumor that after the returns from those primarics were in, Mr. Platt was heard softly hummin “We wanted something to play with, With her new topmast all right, the Defender ought to put a new top-piece on Yachtsman John Bull.
