Aneedote of secretary Fish.

Mr.. Secretary Fish, though one of the
most refined and courteous Of gentle
men, can scarcely be said to have ma
tional reputation as a wag. Yet here Il
trihe that shows what he might do II
hard pressed: A few months since Ma
jor Jack s., Of California, was in
Washington in quest of Office. He had
besieged Senator Cole to such an ex'
tent that the horn buttons on the back
of his coat had made two holes in the
Senators sofa At last the irrepressible
Major was referred TO the Secretary OF
State, and promptly gained an inter
view with that gentleman. Entering
the presence, his tall white hat leaning
back at an angle of forty-fiye degrees
stroking his huge mustache, and re
lieying his forehead from perspiration
by means Of huge red handkerchief
bordered with blue, the Secretary ad-
dressed him: well, Major, am told
you were of great service to our good
cause in California during the last pol
itical campaign.
The Major, throwing himself back
into that graceful position peculiar "a
himself, and placing both thumbs in the
arm holes Of his vest, exclaimed: Oh,
no; / guess not it's the man around the
corner in the grocery.
Mr.. Fish, somewhat daunted by the
attitude struck by the Major, and deem
ing the language rather unbecoming a
gentleman TO make use of who was an
applicant for high federal position, re.
piled: That being the case, Major,
will have a conference with the gentle
man who occupies the grocery, and en-
deavor TO reward him for his good ser.
vices. Good morning, sir
On the ensuing morning the Major
inserted his various shirts and things in
his leathern bag, and left for California.

cHIcKAsAw JOCKEY CLUB.
Fall Meeting second Day = Two
Fine Races.


The interest Of the races yesterday
was perhaps an improvement on the first
day, but We regret to say that the attend
ance, while very respectable and deco
rous, and all that, was not as large as
the officers and members of the Club
could have desired. The crowd was not
as small as we have seen, nor yet as
large. II was select, and one felt in good
company.
The Sheriff and some of his deputies,
and Captain Alley and some of his depu-
ties, were ON the ground, but certainly
had nothing to do but look on and enjoy
themselves like other spectators, for law
and order and quiet and good cheer pre-
vailed. Smiths fine band enlivened the
occasion with some excellent music.
Those present enjoyed themselves as
well as possible.
FIRST RAcE.-This was n two-mile
dash for a Jockey Club purse of $lOO.
The entries we're John Harpers bay
colt Littleton, George Cadwallader's bay
colt Allie Hunt, Mark Youngs Village
Blacksmith, William Jennings bay
mare Bonita, G. B. Morris chestnut
flly Zuzu, and A. c. Franklins brown
colt St. Leger. This was closely con-
tested. St. Leger ran against the fence
when about half way around the second
mile, knocked down post, and tore OH
plank, the end of which entered the
animals breast, and he fell dead, pierced
through the heart The race was won by
Littleton; time, 1874, l:5l-3;45l.
SECOND RAcE-Was for the Green
stake, mile heats, for three year Odds that
had not appeared in public prior to the
closing of this stake, on the first day of
August, 1870; subscription $50, p. p,
the second to receive $50 out of the
stakes, the Club to add $3.50. There
we're only>three starters, Swigerts Nor
lacchi, Franklin's Kathleen and Barnes
Jim Hinton. In the pools Morlacchi
had it all her own way, with odds any
where from eight or ten to one against
the field, or either singly. Morlacchl
won the race. Time, l:f-:l;4s9
And thus the days sport ended.
The trains ran on good time, and
everybody came home well pleased.
Nothing occurred to mar the harmony
and enjoyment of the occasion, except
the unfortunate death of the horse st.
Leger, which fortunately did not result
in any injury to the rider. To-day's pro-
gramme is as good as has yet been pre-
sented, and will doubtless draw better
crowd.
