The Hon. Jacob CT dwell, Commissioner OF Police,
and the fifth Stevsrj, is an American IL politics
We are hsppy TO perceive, from his presencs among
tie Stewards, that no iIdaence Of political par
tisan.bip has been allowed TO affect the com

Ordinary life. We may then confidently expect
that this will be great aud glorious Convection,
urlike those periodical as,emblsges of strong
minded women and quarrelsome reiormers. which
fl oil conservative minds with such just alarm.
We daIe ssy that, had people Of that ca" got the
control of this admirable entertainment, they
might even have gone the lergth Of requiring the
fair competitors to produce certifeates OF ther
moral respectabili.y, as the Greeks did a. the
Olympisn ard Nemesn games of old; and Iney
might have excluded all beverages but cold water,
and tea and coffee, from the grounds instead OF al
mittine those nobler stimulants which We doubt
not will DOW be found there in appropriate aud
cheering abundance.
1t is to be hoped mat the day will be foe one.
We car, even now, picture to ourselves something
of the gorgeous spectacle. 1t will doubtless open
with grand entry Of the beautiful competitors led
by the stewards on curvetiDg ard perfectly man.
sged stee5s The bold bearing and superb horse
man.hip of these gentlemen will be received with
due admiration by the multitude of spectators; but
when the ladies are fairly seen, with their curls
lutterirg in the sunshine, their robes waviug, aud
their hor,es chapping their bits with proud con-
scousress of the lovelness and grace that control
them, then what shouts of applause aud ecstasy
Next comes the start, the rush. the breathless
watching of the struggle the thrilling interest Of
the prolonged uncertsinty, the loud WHAT'S of the
iual triumph. Ard then the browning Of the
lovely victcrs, the presentation of the piano, the
gobets and the wateh, the speeches of congrstula
ton probably by Aid. Clancy, aud the happy,
blusbiDg replies of the lades.-But all this can't
be imsgined, certainly not beforehand. Whoever
wishes to have complete idea Of the diversions of
some of the chief statesmen Of the commercial
metropolis of the Union should be presen. at the
Ladies National Eque,tran Conventou.
