TIE RACES YEsrERDAr.-The avenues
leading to the Metsirie Race Course were
not thronged yesterday by any class; no
gay equipages rolled out in that direction:
no happy, careless parties found pleasure in
seeking it's turf sports; even the street cars
were not unusually, filed. with passengers
In fact, there existed no signs that this is
the week for the fall meeting on course
which was once noted in extensive and re
fined circles Commonplace races can
no. longer attract our citizens or visitors
from other States. Mr.. Cottrell, a well
known and practical turtle. although In
Mobile with his stable, finds no inducement
to come here, for he will not indulge in sport
which does not reach good or fair stan
dard. This fact alone speaks greatly against
the present manner Of managing the races
now in progress Men who understand OF
appreciate the pleasures of racing do not
choose to run their bloodeds animals against
scrubs or cobs. The gentleman spoken OF
will not be seen at the Metairie Course untli
a change occurs in the system. We hear a
rumor to the effect that achange will take
place for the better in a few months and
sometimes rumors are founded in fact.
The races yesterday will not be spoken OF
hereafter as extraordinarily fine, nor will
the time made be recorded as astonishing.
We're the details worthy of reading we
would furnish them to our readers. The
only notable occurrence was that bets OF
two hundred dollars to fifteen were not
taken. The first was hurdle race, eight
hurdles, two miles, for purse of six hun
-dred dollars, second horse to take one nun
-drad dollars; four entries, all Of them prov
ing seconds, although each did not receive
the retainer, Five entries for the second
race proved themselves worthy OF being
elassed as fourth rate. All interest was lost
in this race, as nearly every one Of the three
hundred people on the ground understood
that Kildare would reach the home stake
long before his slow followers kicked up
dust on the home stretch. The weather on
Saturday and yesterday was superb
Nor TRUE BILL.-The grand jury yes
terday returned not a true bill against
Joseph Bowen, soldier in the United
States Barracks who was charged with
having shot and killed Daniel Kelley, one
of his comrades. Evidence convinced the
i;lry that the deed was done in self defense.
An UNFAlrHFUL> STANDARDIZATION
Bonaparte Madison, recently employed in
an eating establishment on Grayier street,
seems to have proved not only unfaithful
but dishonest. Table ware, napkins and
wine. were missed, and the theft was d.
rectly traced to the man who knows
great name. An examination was entered
into yesterday before Recorder Houghton,
when the testimony was sufficient to send
the accused to the Criminal Court An
other charge is pending against the rascal.
At THE CIVIL SHERIFF's OFFIcE.-Mr.
Sauvinet, with two of his deputies, Messrs.
Walden and Gutierrez, were in their office
yesterday, but of course could not'proceed
regularly with business, as Mr.. Maxwell
had taken portion of the records. Judge
Dibble had granted an order commanding
Mr.. Maxwell to return the books, and the
writ was executed by Coroner Creagh. The
order was complied with, and now the bust
ness of the Office will progress. This little
trouble has caused some delay in court
eases. Mr.. Dick, Mr.. Maxwelfs chief
deputy, made himself agreeable and useful
in assisting the new official.
ELECTION OF CLUB OFFIcERs.-At rcgu-
lar meeting Of the Fourth Ward Mother
Club, held at their hall on Monday evening,

the first and third Monday of each month,
until further notice.
THE SECOND WARD CLUB.-A large and
enthusiastic meeting of the Second ward
Club was held last night at their wlgwam,
on Erato street. The club has the reputa-
ton of being one of the best organized and
most effective associations produced by the
last campaign, and it has amply proved its
right to the reputation by the admirable
manner in which it conducted the campaign
in the ward, and by the fact that it has con-
tinued its sessions after the election, and
proposes to continue them until another
election calls the members into active
service. -
The most satisfactory reports were re-
csiyed from the officers. The treasurer's
report showed balance Of $40 in the
treasury, with much more i'll the hands OF
responsible parties. A heavy collection OF
over $3.50 by General Mudgett was repor ted.
Mr.. johnson made few remarks.
Hon. Isaac Ullman was loudly called for,
and informed the club that he had been
elected as Republican, that he was Re
publican, and that he desired to be judged
by his actions and not by words. 3
Mr.. Ullman's remarks were received with
continued applause. -
General Mudgett was called out, and
made one Of his inimitable and amusing
