THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LAKE COMMERCE
Last year at this tine the vessels of our lakes
had literally nothing to do. The tug boats in
this vicinity did not make enough 10 pay for
fuel. This spring it is very different. For
instance, during forty y-eiGht hours up to yes
terday noon one hundred and rxty reSSeis loaded
with grain passed here for the east. 1t is fair
to estimate that an average would be thirteen
thousand bushels per vessel, or near three
millions of bushels The tug boats have all
they can do, and vessels and steamers are
prospering. A most decided Improvement has
taken place in business matters. Most of the
vessels from Chicago and Milwaukee stop
here for supplies, which is great item of trade
for this city. A good crop in Michigan this
year, and we are all right-Dsyou Adrsrtiser,

LOCAL MATTERS.

| fd'rfsd Races-The spring meeting over
| this time -honored course commenced yester.
oay, and the weat ather and track were all that
need be desired for the sport The attendance.
we were surprised to see was large ana the
race as interesting and we'll contested as we
| ever nope to see. Indeed, the opening was
most propitious in every respect. and gave the
| amplest evidence that the friends of the turf
| were increasing, and the sport was reviving.
Ihe race was u sweepstake for three year
| oios, mile heats, for which there were four
entries, only three of whom, Baltzer, Alston
and belcher, came to the score. OF these,
| Belcher was greatly the favorite, Aiston occu-
| pylng the second place. After the usual pre-
liminarles were concluded, the trumpet called
the entries to the score, aud at the tap of the
drum they jumped off together Belcher i'm
medidteiy flew the track, and the other two
going at u moderate speed, soon opened a ide
| gap upon him. Alston held the lead for the
| nrst quarter, when Ba'tZer gave him the 60 by,
and led for three q uarters of 4 mile Brlcher
| Ia the mean time getting TO work and promis-
| ing TO save his distance. At me head of the
| stretch Alston commenced his brush, and
When near the distance stand Tapped Baltzer.
oOth running from there home at their best
speed, shutting out Belcher, and making a
| dead heat in Isl
In The second heat, Alston took tie lead and
neld 1t tor three q uarters of a mile, when
l'altZer made at him, caught him near the dis
tance stand, and beat him home by a neck in
1:554.
Iu the third heat, the colt and filly dashed Off
| al their best speed, at the tap of the drum, and
ran locked to the head Of the stretch, when
Baltzer showed a little in front, and both
taking the whip ran home almost side by side
IN i:57 Halter winning by a neck, to the
grea. delight Of his friends, who suOn aftey
congratulated him upon his success. We ap-
pend summary:

that Smiths Band is furnishing rare music on

is made 20 add to the comfort of all who visit
the track, by furnishing them the best that
