june Races.

Editor Rutland Herald In your issuo
of August 7th, you make some comments,
and give some decisions of the SPIRIT OF
| tie Times on the races held here last June
permit me the privilege of saying a few
words on the subject. In the first place
the Spirit Of the Times is not authority in
this case, although concede that its de-
| cisions are generally correct. But in this
case the race was advertised under rules
of the National Trotting Association, and
they have Board of Appeal Judges to
decide all questions which may arise
from misinterpretation of the rules.
Dix in bis report makes great bugbfar
of the entry of Snow Flake being made
the 18th before the closing of entries and
not being received until two days otter.
Now the facts are that package deliver
ed at the express Office at White River
Junction, June 18Th, latter twenty minutes
past twelve at noon, would not reach
Rutland until p. m. the 14th, which
was the case with the entry in question,
and was delivered to Mr.. Danforth about
Z o'clock a. M. on the 18th. DIX" also
says that the package was received bear
ing two changes of time for receiving the
money the package was marked in figures
1876 and altered to S.35 or vice versa,
either of which would come within the
limit of time. He also says they were in
different hand writings, this statement
which dix" makes he knew to be false
when he made it, if he saw the packages.
which presume he did.
Mr.. Danforth was told the day before
the entry arrived here that it was on the
way. He also knew that Snow Flake was
here the 18th. He also very well knew
that Mr.. Ballard would not have sent his
horse here and thereby entsiled upon him
self an expense of twenty-five dollars or
more, if he had not supposed the entry to
be all right. ...s. .g ... ......
When I delivered the entry to Mr..
| Danforth he claimed that it was not good.
Rule No. 2 of the National Association
| reads thus
All entries for premiums must be made
under cover, enclosing the entrance money
for purses and forfeits In sweepstakes, and
| then sealed and addressed to, or deposited
with the secretary or some person author
| lied to receive the same, at such time and
place as the association may have pre-
| scribed. Notices of intention to enter
| will be received by telegraph up to the
hour advertised for closing, and all such
entries shall be eligible, provided the en-
| trance fee specified shall be paid in due
course by mail or otherwise. (See also ar
ticle II of by-laws.)
ARTICLE 1.-THE hour for closing the
entries of all purses or premiums offered
by any OF the associated courses shall be
Is o'clock p. m. All letters or entries
bearing postmark the date of closing shall
be eligible.
I wished to satisfy myself whether the
entry was good or not, then telegrsphed

THE CALIFORNIA CRoPs.-In spite OF
the partial failure of the wheat crop, the
San Francisco Farmer feels quite happy
over the immense yield of crops generally.
1t says the vineyards will "gush out with
new wine," while the orchards are bend
ing beneath unwonted supplies of fruit.
The harvests also show greater variety
of crops than ever before. Among the
articles of export will be grain, wool,
wine, fruits, nuts, hops, mustard seed.
beans, leather, raw hides, horn, tallow.
etc. The exports of produce will fully
balance the imports, leaving the treasure
export as surplus. Among fruits, the
fig and peach are now added as staple ex-
ports, and of these in 1871 the crop prom
ises to be unusually large. In all bran.
ches of agricultural production California
still holds her proud position.

A New ENTERPRIsE-A company has
been formed at Quebec to supply the
American market with halibut. This de-
lioious fish is abundant ia Canadian wat
ers, but has no home market. Existing
regulations permit Canadian caught fish
to be brought into the United States free
of duty; accordingly, the Quebec Com
pany has fitted schooners for this express
purpose, and the first cargo was sold in
Boston. the other day, for seven cents per
pound, which afforded profit nearly equal
in gross amount to the cost OF the vessel
and expenses of the voyage. The COM
pany has large capital, means business,
and there is good prospect for decline
in the price of halibut in Boston market

THE VOYAGE TO EUROPE.-The voy.
age to Europe by the Northern route il
now more dangerous than in winter
Huge icebergs are encountered, driven by
winds and currents into southern lati-
tudes. Several have recently passed New.
foundland. Nothing so bulky in the ice
way has ever been previously reported
These islands of ice are formed by the
freezing of the sea water along the Green.
land shore, the snow drifting from the
land being heaped upon the ice and again
and sgsin submerged and frozen. The
rise and fall of the tide prevent the mass
from being attached permanently to the
shore, and at length it is fioated off. The
large bergs are the production of the ar.
tic glaciers.

TIE CUBAN ExPEDITIoN.-The gov
ernor-general has issued proclamation
warning Her Majesty's loyal subjects to
abstain from any participation in the ex-
petition now being fitted out to assist the
rebels against Spanish authority in the
island of Cuba. The judicial investiga-
ton by Judge Couosol, into the affair,
commenced yesterday. Consul General
Satrustigue arrived from Quebso, bring
ing with him two officers of the expedi-
ton who had been arrested in Quebec.
They were quietly conveyed to the court
house under guard and there privately
examined. Carter, Queens counsel, at
tended on behalf of the Spanish author
tiles They divulged the whole affair,
and before afternoon a number of arrests
had baen made. Those arrested were
held for examination. A sub-editor of a
leading journal was examined at great
length, as he first published the report of
the expedition.

RAILROAD PROGRESS. - The Troy
Times begins sn article about railroad
gauges with the epigramatic remark :
"Brosd il the road that leads to destruc-
ton. So thought the owners of the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad when they be-
came so impressed with the expressive
folly of a broad-gaugs that they spent
81 100000 in order to get the advantages
of narrower gauge. There have been
uumboFless proofs that the most intelli-
gent railroad men in the country have
become converts to the narr0w-gsuge, bat
this change OF the gauge of one Of the
greatest roads in the country ia the most
practical evidence of the revolution
wrought by the demonstrations of the ad-
vantages Of the narrow gauge.
The Troy Times suggests that the Erie
Railroad ard the Atlantic and Great
Western will be forced TO follow the ex-
ample Of the Ohio and Mississippi. II
they did they might make handsome divi-
dends out of the savings in runniSg ex
penses. Both have found out that, BROAD
is the rosd that leads to destruction.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. z, 1871.
The arrivals last week were uncommon
ly heavy, and the hotels exhibit very live.
ly scenes about these days. Those wish
ing good accommodations here during the
| next two weeks will do well to write sew.
eral days before starting from home, OF
they will stand rather slim chance al
any Of the frst-class hotels. Probably the
tide is not quite at its highest yet, as the
compression Of such crowd produces 6
closer stowage during the second week Of
the crush, but it will be at the very high
est by the end of this week, and will con
tinue to the end of the race meeting
about the 25th of the month.
The grand ball at the Congress Hall on
Friday evening was as great success as
could have been desired. The room was
crowded with dancers and spectators, and
nothing was lacking to the enjoyment Of
Juvenile dancing class, in fancy costume
who have been taking lessons from Mr.
Loomis, of Springfield, was an interesting
and novel feature of the evening. They
were many of them in fancy costumes
and marched and danced with great per.
fiction.
Sunday evening we had a sacred con.
cert at the Grand Union Hotel, given by
the bands at that and thu Clarendon
| Hotel. AS novel feature of the occasion
we were treated to lecture on womanly
duties by Miss May Fisk, young
"oratoress," as she was styled on the bills.
Rather novel entertainment for Sunday
| evening one would think, and somewhat
deprecated by many good people.
We are to have a multiplicity of con-
certs and entertainments at the Grand
Union, this week. The number and quail
ity of which, however, [ do not feel in
olined to discuss, merely noting it as a
phase of Saratoga life, in tho season.
To show that spiritual matters are not
neglected here by visitsnta, l may note

KU-KLUx.-Every day the present in.
vestigation Of the Congressional Commit.
tee proceeds, it finds abundant and cumu-
lative evidence of the existence and spread
of these disguised bands of outlaws known
as Ku-Klux, throughout the South. Every
day the testimony of reliable men goes to
prove that any delay in the enactment Of
the Legislature of last Spring, would not
only have been grave mistake, but Grim

| NORTH FERRIsBURGH-East from the
railroad about two miles, and situated
upon the Lewis river, lies nestled the
quiet village Of North Ferrisburgh. One
passing through our town on the cars
and netting the lack of conveysnces to
and from the depot, would naturally i'm
agine our place one of comparative insig-
nifcance. But the old adage that appear
ances arc often deceitfu.," is forcibly ap-
plicable here. The amount of business
performed will compare favora5ly with
any village of it's size, and indeed will
surpass many much superior in popula-
ton. We have wooden mill, wOoden
ware shop, new grist mill and three
stores, all within a stones throw of each
other, and each doing lively business.
The WOODEN mill is owned by Edward
Daniels, and furnishes home market
for the wool growers. The quality of
goods here manufactured is fine, and new
er fails to suit the wants of tho purchss-
er. The mill has been in successful opera
tion for quite a number Of years, and I'M
der the skillful management of the own
er, does not follow the fashion of many
of our manufacturing establishments,
which every now and then, when hard
times come on stop some mouths "for re-
pairs"
The new grist mill, owned by Mr. Pol
sifer, is doing fine business. The stores
have a good country trade. We notice
that Allen & Wheeler ship, every Tues
day morning, from eighty to one hundred
tubs of butter. The cheese factory turns
ont from fifteen to twenty cheese daily,
weighing from fifty 10 sixty pounds each,
the quality of which cannot be surpassed.
Though the business sof our town is
marked, there are other other cLaracteris-
tics far more noticeable. especially by a
lover of nature-the beautiful scenery,
which cannot be surpassed by any in
Vermont. Upon our east rises Mt. Philo,
aud farther on in the distance, NJ. Mans
field and Camers Hump. On the west,
beneath the shadow of the lofty Adiron-
dacks, lies the beautiful Lake ChamplaiD,
but four short miles from our village.
There are many who visit foreign coun-
tries and our far West to behold grand
spectacles in Natures phenomena, but let
me tell them they can fad mountain peaks
no where grander-lakes no where more
silvery, and scenery no where more at
tractiye than within the immediate vicin-
ity of our quiet town. ID. P.

WHITE MOUNTAINS. - The public
houses at the White Mountains, with the
exception of tho Glen House, do not APP
pear to be doing so large business this
season as usual, the tide OF travel having
set towards the west and Mount Desert
and the eastern coast towns. At the
Crawford House there are about one hum
dred and fifty visitors: at the Profile,
three hundred including the Vanderbilt
party" of twenty-six, who have secured
rooms for the summer, and who are, of
course, the center and sun of a consider
able circle of f4shionables The Sinclair
House, at Bethlehem, has about fifty
boarders, and the Twin-Mountain House,
eleven miles from Crawford, has about
the same number. Business at the Alpine
Heuse, Gorham, is said to be light, com
paratively speaking. Lary's, a mile be-
yond, smaller house, is well filed ;
while the heavily loaded stages from Cor
ham for the Glen indicate that that house
is doing about the usual amount of bust
ness.
