In the second race of tho Orange County
Trotting Meeting at Middlctown, on Tuesday
last, 81. Elmo was entered. lie VI the first
heat, aud the judges put up the time Of the heat
2:321<. The board announcing that time hung
out for twenty minutes, and nothing was said
about its inoccuracy. The persons who own and
control ST. Elmo then went TO the judges and re-
quested them TO alter the time announced and
make it above 1888, assigning as reason that it
was not correct, and that II would bar them from
entering 1T. Elmo in the purse al Long Branch for
horses that had never beaten 1888. The judges
altered the time, and announced II as 233X.
That night st. Elmo was entered in the purse lor
2;83 horses at Long Branch, to be trottsd ior on
Saturday next
Our attention has been called 10 this by two
gentlemen who have horses entered in that race,
and one of them tells us that he will protest
against st. Elmo as ineligible in that purse. Now
was there fraud, or was there mistake made
by the judges Have the judges right to al:er
time as announced, and thereby the record Of the
race One of the judges was Capt Isaiah

important evidence calculated to fasten the crime OF

quite certain, from certain movements Of the de-

from which the dog was obtained Is known is be-

was arrested In the Twentieth ward some time ago

the Wllkesbarre bank robbery, but retained here on
charge OF committing burglary IN Broadway IL

proud Of ITSELF OF the metropolis and of the thou

varied beauties OF hill and dale, ana wooded heights
and rocky headlands and silvery waters. The New

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

A CCnsumEsntson TO be Desired-The Eemovai
OF the Cr0tOn Aqueduct between Ninety-thIrd
and t12.I streets.
It has often occurred to those who may have
noticed the high embankment resembling that OF q
railroad, which The intervening streets be.
tween Nnety-tnird and 10TH streets that it would
be praiseworthy exercise OF engineering skill If
the said mbankment-commonly called the CrOton
aqueduct-could by any means be removed and
give chance for the construction of level ana pass
able roadways in this rapidly growing section of the
city. The HERALD recently called attention
10 the necessity which existed for the re-
movai OF this obstruction, and il Is now
glad TO be In a position to announce that
early In September the work Will be commenced.
The delay has been occasiOned by Iaudable desire
on the part OF the Board OF Public Works to examine
thoroughly the surveys and estimates which have
been made Oh various plans, and to reach a ma.
tured project before venturing on any work. The
aqueduct now occupies the Tenth avenue between
10Th and 117th streets and temporary one Will be
needed while the present structure Is being re-
moved and the permanent pipes placed in the ave-
nue.. The probable cost of the undertaking Will be
$l,500,000. II seems that legal question connected
with the change was only decided last week. All is
clear before them now, the various questions raised
have been settled, the plan adopted and the Board
II Is to be presumed, will lose no further tine IN
getting this great Improvement under way.

The Alpine Village.

A Little Alpine village nestled down

and snow, and there its inhabitants
lived on securely with no thought OF
danger. By and by it was rumored
that there was great fissnre III the
rock which overhung them. Engineers
were sent up to examine it, and repor-
ted that it was gradually widening:
The people of tile village were warned
of the fact, and urged to remove.
But they would not, believe they

WAYS looked fearful to strangers; but
they we're used to it. No danger of it's
coming down in their day. In vain
were subscriptions started to aid then
to remove. They did not feel any
need for alarm.

1t was in the dead of night, L think
and quite number of persons were
buried beneath it; and scores OF poor
families who escaped with their lives
we're left homeless and penni'ess. II
was supposed that the unusual heat sc
melted the ice that the earth which
thus far had held the rock in its GRASP
was washed away. How sad that they
had not taken warning before
Yet we see people inst as blind Il

Fast young men usually have more
than one friend to warn them of thei

They see others destroyed by wine ant

Every glass makes the chasm wide
