ABSOLUTE MANAGEMENT OF IRRE-
SPONSIBLE COMMISSIONS,
composed of few mem appointed by body
many of whose members are unacquainted
with our needs, without knowledge of our
condition and without sympathy with our
wishes.
The Councils have no interest in the mat
ter except as citizens and as sworn guardians
of the interests of the city. 1t is for the
GOOD OF ALL
that they ask for a grand outpeuring of all
our citizens for the safety and happiness
of all.

There lie quite sharp demand for money this
morning, nearly all departments of trade being
iuily represented in the market, but money con-
uhues 10 move very freely in the absence Of any
uiettust as 70 the future. The speculative de-
mand Is only moderate and this. with the libe-
raj disbursements from the Uuited States trea-
sury, tends to keep the market eaav to good
borrowers. Mr. Boutwells policy is evidently
TO perpetuate this condition of ease until he can
get the new loans off his hands, and its ipfu-
ence on rates will no doubt be such as TO plree
money within the reach of business enterprises
and thus to encourage lively spring trade

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis for the Past Twenty.FOur
Hours.

WASHINGTON, September %, 7 P. M
The lowest pressure, which was Thurs,
day afternoon west, and possibly north.
west of Minnesota, has moved eastward
to Lake Superior, and the barometer
has fallen very rapidly north Of the Ohio
valley. The highest pressure is central
over Maryland, New Jersey and east
ward. A comparatively low barometer
continues in Southern Florida, with
light northeasterly winds. Brisk south
and southwesterly winds have extended
from Minnesota to Wisconsin, south
east into Illinois, and east TO Lake
Huron. Clear weather has prevailed
very generally in the Atlantic and Gulf
States, and the lake reports from upper
Michigan are not yet received. Haze
and smoke prevail from Illinois 10
Minnesota.
ProbaJiEties.-The low pressure in the
northwest will probably extend east
ward rapidly, with brisk southwesterly
winds over the lakes; but the smoky
haze attending it prevents extensive
rains in those regions. A falling bar
ometer, with increasing cloudlness and
easterly winds on Saturday, along the
Atlantic coast. Pleasant weather in
the Gulf States.

THE TURF.
GoIdsmith Maid and Lucy,

CINCINNATI, September IA large
crowd of people assembled to-day at the
Abbey track to witness the race between
Goldsmith Maid and Lucy. The track
had been put in as perfect order as the
exceeding dryness of the ground would
permit by Mr.. Haffer, the Secretary OF
the Association. The horses appeared
on the track in good condition, though
the recent travel by rail had somewhat
stiffeped them. Lucy has felt the et-
fects of it more than her mate. The
weather has been cool since their arrl-
val, and, on the whole, the conditions
were tolerably favorable for fast time.
The afternoon, however, was quite
warm, and the strong wind and dense
dust were unfavorable.
In the first heat Lucy got the best
start, and passed the first quarter a
length ahead, but the Maid passed her
on the second quarter, and won the
heat by fifty feet. Time, 224!.
In the second heat they got square
start but the Maid at once took the
lead and kept it, winning by several
lengths in 2l9. Lucy broke badly for
some distance.
The third b eat was intensely interest
inc The horses started neck and neck,
bnt the Maid took the lead at the turn
and kept it, coming in length ahead,
Time, 2:234. .
Mr.. Doble considers this the best heat
the mare ever trotted, considering the
uneven and dusty character OF the track
