was brought from England; with Taylor to ride
for Mr. Sandford, and has achieved many successes
and a great name in America. The Hurdle Race
came off first on this day, and was won by Harry
Booth. On the 7th the racing was scarcely of so
interesting a character ; Sundown, the Oakland
filly, and Red Dick were the winners. On the
Bth the first race, 1i miles, was won easily by
Clara Clarita in 2.46. The second race, purse
$l,OOO, a dash of three miles, James A. Con-
nolly won by a length, beating Pat Malloy.
Titne-1.48;, 1.481, 1-541. Much money changed
hands on this race. Malloy was the favou-
rite. The third race, for $500,. a dash of 14
miles, was won by Stonewall Jackson, beat-
ing Sundown and Gilroy. Timo-3.13. Colo-
nel O'Fallon and Mr. Duke brought a racing
stud from the Mississippi River, and great com-
plaint is made of the accommodation on the rail-
roads, more especially the Erie, as the horses had
no shelter, no water, and had to stand under the
thin shade of some trees for above an hour with the
thermometer between 90 deg. and 100 deg. There
is great rivalry between the New York and the
Western men. The latter won the Travers' Stakes,
but they were a sold" in the second race, more still
in the hurdle race, and most of all in the Saratoga Cup,
which last, however, was altogether due to Hay ward's
riding. On Monday, the 10th August, the races
were resumed, General Duke winning the Sequel
Stakes ; Wiley the purse for 'beaten horses ; and
Alta Vela the Three-quarters, for two-year-olds.
The sixth day of the sport was the last, and it un-
fortunately began to rain just as the people were
starting for the course, and it poured before the
hurdle race was over. This spoiled the interest to
all but betting men, and upset much of their calcu-
lations, as it greatly altered the state of the course.
Lodilia led over the first hurdle, maintaining her
lead the whole way, and winning in a canter by
four lengths. The four-mile for all ages, weight
for age, was won by James A. Conolly, a four-year-
old, carrying 1081bs ; the time being 7m. 3s. The
mile and a half handicap was won by Sleety, which
ran the distance 2m. 50s. The dash of half a mile
for all ages, catch weights:, was won by Jubal.
The racing was good from beginning to end. The
great Athlone stable from St. Louis had a fair
measure of success ; but the stable of Mr. Morris
was not in luck. Colonel M'Daniel's did well ;
Mr. Sanford's victory in the Cup was his only one ;
and Mr. Cameron had no victory at all. Governor
Bowie won two races, but Harry Booth, with which
he won the first hurdle raw, fell lame, and could
not be started for the secon 1. L,kelia, who did
win it, was sold to M'Connel and Thompson. No
horses were started by the Annieswood stable.
Col. Bush won the Selling race with Clara Clarita,
and Dr. Weldon won the two last races with Sleety
and Jubal. Fernando Wood gave a dinner party at
the Lake House, at which the following were pre-
Sent :—Sanford E. Church, A. W. Randall, Post-
master-General, Mr. Ingersoll, Henry. C. Murphy,
Governor Bowie, of Maryland ; James R. Barrett,
ex-Mayor of IV ashington ; Judge Sutherland, of
New York; S. S. Cox, ex-Recorder James M.
Smith, jun., Erastus Corning, James M. Marvin,
John G. Saxe, Samuel G. Courtney. General
Sickles and Governor Fenton were serenaded at the
Union Hotel.

THE CATTLE DISEASE IN AMERICA.

In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and many other
States, alarm prevails regarding the in lady which
has attacked the cattle ; and measures have been
taken by the local authorities to eradicate the pest.
It is not the Binder-pest common in Europe, but a
Texan fever carried north with the herds from the
Lone-Star State. Though not the same it is equally
fatal, as the ravages in Inliana and Illinois, where
it first appeared, prove. Vast herds have lately
been 'driven from Texas into Illinois, moving by
easy stages over the prairies. The native stock
appear to have picked up the disease from grazing
on the ground over which the Texan herds had
passed. Three days is the ordinary limit, and
nearly all the cases are fatal, and attended by loss
of milk from the first in the cows as yet only
attacked, by terrible emaciation, by violent in-
flammation of the bowels and kidneys, and
occasionally by pustulent eruptions, and by great
discharge of water and mucus from the mouth.
Campaign County, Illinois, the great rendezvous
where 30,000 cattle graze, is in trouble, as there the
scourge is mainly felt. The Missourians, with rifles
in hand, deny the right of passage to the accumulat-
ing herds from Texas and the Indian territory,
who threaten to force their way, and the Go-
vernor has issued a proclamation to the belli-
gerents to keep the peace. From Illinois the disease
has spread in e's)ery direction, aertd-cattle.are merci-
lessly slaughtered, as was the case in England a short
time ago. The Pork Packers' Association of Chi-
cago appointed a committee, headed by Professor
John Gamgee, lately of the Albert Veterinary Col-
lege, London, to report on the disease. The Pro-
fessor says the complaint is that called the " darn"
in Aberdeenshire, and that it has occurred in
various parts of Europe. As yet it has been con-
fined to cows ; even the calves sucking their
affected mothers do not contract the disease,
which has a local origin, and is not of the true
type of plagues epizootics. The examinations
after death show a greatly distendei bladder, filled
with dark-coloured water and coagulated blood ; on
the body are immense quantities of ticks and lice
such as infest Texan cattle. Professor Gamgee
considers there is no danger from drinking the milk
or eating the flesh of the diseased cow, but cases
are reported of sickness, and even death, among
persons who became inoculated with the virus, or
who used the milk even before disease appeared.
Many agriculturists fear that the disease may be
propagated indefinitely and become epidemic, and
this is supported by the fact that the Western cattle
after contracting the disease from the Texan herds
have themselves communicated it to Others.
