BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE. June S-l0P.


The Know Nothings" fully anticipate
a triumph at the coming municipal cleo
ton in this city next fall. 1t is some
what difficult to divine their movements,
but / am told they are already casting
around for a Mayoralty candidate.
Amongst those spoken of by them, so
ru nor says, In reference to that officc,
are Rev. Isaac p. Cook, Rev. DR.. j. c..
Orrick, Benjamin W. Herring, former
High Constable, and James Suter, at
present member Of the City Council for
the 4th Ward. Others have been named
but these are most prominent at present.
The Democrats have not yet fixed upon
any one particularly. DR.. Norris seems
to be rising rapidly in favor with his
party, and will, doubtless, be elevated in
due time. 1t is altogether questionable
whether the Wings will have candidate
IN the field They will, in all probabili-
", do as their brethren in Philadelphia.
Indeed, there seems to be no Wing party
in Baltimore at this time. The name has
grown obsolete.
There was fine sport at the race course
to-day The first race, for jocky club
purse Of $500, mile heats, was won by
Ellen Bateman, who beat White Eye in
two heats.
The second race, sweepstakes, two
mile heats, $500 and 5000 forfeit, was
won by Blonde. This was very inter
esting contest.
The third, a match race for $1,000,
mile heats, Little Arthur stumbled and
tel with his rider, consequently Col.
Harris's Zenganee colt was declared the
victor Tomorrow w1l probably show
US the finest sport.
There has been good deal of dissat
lstacton expressed In reference to the
management of these races. Exorbitant
prices have been charged for every thing
The price of admission 70 the enclosure
is one dOllar-formerly at Canton %
cents. Tickets to seats so or IS cents.
All else In the same proportion of impo-
sitlon. a Visit, therefore, to the races,
even with those who go merely to be
lockers on, walks into five dollar note
fearfully. This would not be so bad, but
the accommodations are miserable. Upon
the whole, 1t may be put down as pref
ty clever g suck in" and under similar
patronage another season will find less
favor.
Miss Jenny Busk's concert came off
tonight at the Assembly rooms. I'm
fortunately there was quite shower of
rain, just about the time persons would
have started; hence the audience was
not so large, but fair. She sang sweetly,
and gained great applause. Much inter
est has been takeI. in her by our best
citizens. She leaves for Europe on Mon
