HORSE NOTES.

The Monmouth Park races commence on the 4th
OF July and the Saratoga on the 18th OF the same
month. II is the opinion OF number OF gentlemen
who have race horses engaged both places that
closing day at Long Branch and the opening day at
Saratoga are too close together for benefit either
association, there Is only interval Of four days
alter the first meeting for the removal Of the sta
Des from Long Branch to Saratoga. Horses run.
ming at Monmouth Park Will hardly be fit to run
well at Saratoga IN short time after their travel
thither. Could not the managers at Saratoga, for
the accommodation OF parties having horses en-
tered at Monmouth Park well as at Saratoga,
change the dag OF meeting 10 the 18th Of July,
then the horses VIII have better chance to be In
condition 10 runS To insure the prosperity or the
OF race courses other than In the noble one Of ex-
ceiling IN turf attractions such as large fields, va

what the patrons OF the turf require The purses at

Bayard street. fashionable quarter In aristo-

over an elopement Of the most romantic sort, but
one which, unlike most affairs OF the sort, has
turned out happily for all concerned. The names OF
the parties have not yet been vulgarized in print,
except that the young gentleman is STYLED 'Jimmy"
by the Jersey City paper which tells his story.
youngster OF Elizabeth, and noted In tnat city for
his extreme modesty. Upon his return rom q
Southern tour, short time ago, he was introduced
TO the young lady by mutual friend, and tmme-
diately thereafter there was CONSERVATION among
her former admirers, TO one OF whom she was un-
derstood TO be affianced. The father frowned upon
the Elizabeth sultor, and the daughter, exhibiting
disopedient spirit, was kept under lock and key In
her own apartments for two weeks, no person being
allowed TO communicate with the prisoner but her
mother, who sided with her daughter in the affair.
A ladder and swift carriage solved the problem
of escape on Wednesday night, and the happy pair
made their way by midnight train to the house OF
fashion, the Times says The next mornlng the
distracted parents found the following the young
lady's deserted beudor:-

Immediately after the reception OF this astounding

THE SOUTHERN STATE BONDS.

The Southern list was irregular both in prices
and IN the volume OF business from day TO day. 1t
is evident however, that the interestpayng Issues
are relatively cheap and hence it VIII not be sur
prising II the sudden activity in the dividend paying
securities OF the Stock Exchange should find an early
imitation In this class OF bonds. Alabama, 1t will
have been seen, has decided to act In good faith
with the holders or the Chattanooga bonds who are
not concerned with the alleged cliques seeking the
control OF the railroad In whose aid these
obligations were created. South Carolina, which
resumed 1n 1869, and has paid her interest
promptly In gold ever since. s actively at work on
the financial question. The Senate mas already by
a large majority, passed to second reading bill

gfnia Is also moving for q resumption OF interest

MISCELLANEOUS.
The following are the principal statistics OF the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway as re-
turned by the company TO the State Engineer and
Surveyor, for the year ending September 80, 1906:
Capital stock by charter. $50 000. 900
Capital stock paid In ............. a. 93S, 900
Funded deos seven per cent 22o0i,0oo
Total stock, bonds ana debt ........ 5s,5i2,si4
The annual report of the Marietta and Cincinnati
Railroad contains the foowing:--'The stockhod.
ers OF the Ohio and Mississippi Company at the
annual meeting in October, authorized the Board OF
Directors to change the OF the road to four feet
nine ncnes which win conform to the Marietta and
Cincinnati track. 1t is believed that the consumma
ton OF this plan, by which cars can be transported
between St. Louis and Louisville and the seaboard,
via Parkersburg without change win result IN q
very great increase OF through business. The dis
tance from Cincinnati to Baltimore is $50 miles, or
240 miles less than the average distance from Gin
cinnati to New York by the New York Central, Erie
more, via Cincinnati ana Parkersbur9, the dis
tance is 929 miles, 24o miles less than the average
distance to st. Louis by the same roads to New
York. The improper location of the road
between Warren and Belpre has, since the open
ing OF the road, always been source Of great ex-
pense In maintenance and less in revenue to the
company. With the view Of remedyng this grave
error in location the Baltimore Short Line Railway
Company has, during the past year, been incorpo-
rated under the laws OF Ohio, and proposes with
the assistance OF the Marietta and Cincinnati Rail-
road Company to construct a road In as direct
line as practicable from Warren to Belpre.n
According to the annual report Of the Morris and
Essex Railroad Company, recently presented to the
Legislature the capital stock is ST. $50; funded
debt $12,1s4,o 900; other Indebtedness $50 2O5 81:
construction account s28 100000 The receipts for
the year 1870 were $2,s5s4 ASP 6s; expenses
$l,9oo,o3l 49, balance, $751; 52l so. Two payments
Of interest OF seven per cent have been made the
stockholders by the lessees.
