The Racing.
When the racing began the track was IN very fine
order for running and continued so until the last
race was about commencing when the rain came
down and made 1t rather heavy. The running in all
the races was satisfactory; In some Of them highly
exciting particularly in the steeple chase and the
race for the Westchester cup. There were four
events on the programme-the first the steepe chase
the second the race for the Westchester Cup the third
selling race, the distance mile and five furlongs
and heat race OF mile and three quarters, with
the distance sixty yards Four horses started in the
steeple chase. These were Captain Elwees bay geld.
ing Bohannon, Mr.. McDaniel's bay horse Oysterman,
Jr; Mr.. Todds bay horse W. r. Bacon, and Lloyd h
Alloway's bay horse Wiley. The race was remark
ably well contested from beginning to end by the
three first named, while the latter was beaten from
the first Jump, and was a quarter of mile behind
at the finish. Bohannon won capital race by q
short length after very animated struggle with
Oysterman. Jr., the superior riding Of Captain
Elwees carrying him through to victory. w. F.
Bacon was good third, and might have been better
OF but for fall at the water Jump, where he fell as
he landed and went down on his belly. His rider
however, kept on his back, and lifting the horse up
quickly, continued the race and soon afterwards
overlook the others. But the horse must have been
considerably wrenched by fhe fall and probably that
operated against him on the home run.
The race for the Westchester Cup did not come up
to the expectations Of the spectators the result
proved there was but one good race horse In the
Held. This was Mr.. Babcocks chestnut horse Helm.

AUSTRALIAN ROMANCE.
A TFanspOrtod FeIOn Recognized
After Twentysseven Years ln
an EpIacopnl RIAhOp.

After Twenty.seven Years In
an Episcopal BishOP.
About thirty.fve years ago one
VIM. Bailey entered the Universi-
ty Of Dublin, and by close atten-
ton to business soon became q
full.hedged doctor of laws. He
was a good-looking man, and O
great favorite with the ladies. He
was essential to the success of
tea.parties, absolutely necessary
to the well. being Of picnics, and a
brilliant light in these heterogene-
Gus meetings called coRversa-
zioneS. Unfortunately for DR..
VIM. Bailey, he was one of the
many divines who had TO pass
rich on e40 year, and his daily
and nightly attendance in the
fashionable world speedily in
volved him in debt past all hope
of redemption. William has q
sister rolling in wealth, and al
though she listened to his ser
mons and prided herself on their
close relationship, she steadfastly
refused TO send him one sixpence
or become responsible for his liza
bilitics.
AT length in 1S43 VIM. Bailey,
Ii. D., took the liberty Of signing
his close-fsted sisters name to
cheque for E2, 700, and she at once
gave him into custody. The trial
came OFF, and the soul stirring
preacher, the fashionable divine,
the erudite William, was banished
for ten years to Botany Bay. The
ladies wept for his fate, and the
gentlemen talked for a few days
about "that unfortunate man
Bailey" but he soon dropped out
Of mind, and became nothing more
than IN ordinary convict. All
this happened in lS43, and now a
rumor has reached the wiseacres
Of Dublin University that one
William Francis Xavier Bailey, an
Australian Protestant bishop, is
the identical William Bailey, LII.
d., who once moved in the best
Irish circles. and once met Judge
Bail under very painful circum-
stances. A disappointed candi-
date for the bishopric had raked
up his antecedents from the New
gate calendar and staggered his
flock by showing that the Episco-
pal See was filed by a forger The
senate ofthe University of Dublin
have therefore resolved to strip
DR.. William (Francis Xavier)
Bailey Of his degrees, and hold
him forth to the religious world as
