The price for gold in New York Yesterday
ranged from 126 I to l2s Z. the former rate being
the lowest figure reached since 1866, when. in
the reaction following the close of the war, it
declined to l25. The fall since the memorable
Tuesday, not quite six weeks ago, when the rate
advanced to los, has been remarkable, averaging
one per cent. day. The large and constantly
increasing amount of gold in the Treasury; the
economical and honest management of the pub
lie funds which characterizes the administration
OF President Grant, resulting in a steady retuc-
tion Of the public debt; and the increasing con-
fdenee in the Government and in Secretary
Boutwells financial policy, may be reckoned
among the principal causes which are bringing
us every day nearer TO the era of a safe resump-
ton of specie payments. IL now seems almost
certain that greenbacks will be at par long
before the expiration of President Grants term
of office.

THE BEST TINE on RECORDING. Robert
Bonner yesterday drove the Bogart colt Ia ii We
course, to a road wagon, making half-mile in
l:1lh. The first quarter was made in 81 and the
second In SAY seconds. The colt was then put to
a light sulky, and John Murphy, the celebrated
horseman, drove him one mile In the extraordi-
nary time of minutes 19k seconds. The first
quarter was made in 36 seconds, the second in
34h, three-quarters of mile in las, and the
last quarter In 34ksecOnds. This is probably the
best time on record for a fve-year old. The feat
was witnessed by Messrs. Haumphries, w. Sim
