The third race was a trotting race
of mile heats beat three in five, and for
it Spotted Johnny, Joe Moore and Sor-
rel Dan started. The first heat was
as close race as we ever saw. 1t was
contested from the start and resulted in
dead heat between Spotted Johnny
and Sorrel Dan. Time, 2:50l.
The second heat was most exciting
heat. The horses got as good send
off as was possible. The spotted horse
led to the half mile pole, Dan breaking
badly, but as they neared the half
mile pole the wonderful stride carried
him past Joe Moore and up to Spotted
Johnny. As they opened on the home
stretch the burst Of speed was tremen
dious, Dan pushing to the front and
winning the heat in 2:462.
The third heat was but repetition Of
the second. Dan was the favorite from
the first. The spotted horse led for the
halt nile, when by magnificent squirt
Dan took the front and kept 1t to the
score, winning in 2:5l4.
The fourth heat was splendldIy
struggled for. Joe Moore made a gal
liant dash for the first place going down
thequarter, but left his feet and dropped
behind He made a game race, how
ever, and on the turn at the homestretch
passed Spotted Johnny and challenged
Dan for his place. The gallant sorrel
was not to be beaten, however, and he
passed under the string a length in ad-
vance in 2:52l. The following is the

THE RACES YEsrERDAY.-The clouds
were very threatening at the hour set
for the races. The prospect for rain
operated very materially against the
presence of large crowd. though many
more were on the track than we expected
to see, under the circumstances.
The races were very exciting and
afforded great sport to the visitors. The
first was pacing race, best three miles
out Of five, which was won by Jenny
Lind. The Indiana colt was the favor
lite in the pools at starting, and indeed
took the first two heats, but was dis
tanced with President in the third heat,
Sleepy George being distanced on the
first heat
The following is the summary Of the
race. Tuck did not start:

the start, though the Burley horse made
things lively for them in the second
heat, His saddle turned in the first
heat and the rider only saved himself
by "main strength and awkwardness.
The first mile was made in l:54 and the
second in l:55!. The following is the
summary.

Since the exposure of the attempts made by GER
tain interruptions local dealers, TO palm off Their
coarse astringents, made from cheap and impure
materials, in the place of the great national tonic
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, public opinion has set
strongly against these empires and their prepara-
tons. Their occupation is gone, or soon will be,
When the light is let into deception it soon wits
down. Persons who trife with their 8n health. bv
using unknown preparations, with no guarantee to
sustain them, when an established specific, proven
by TWEEN years experience to be exactly VIII 1t it is
claimed to be- is within their REACH are sure to re-.
pent their temerity. Many have done so in this in
stance, but it is hoped that the truth plainly spoken
has arrested the evil. In the meantime the demand
for the leading protective and restorative medicine
OF America was never so great as it has been this
season. From the fever and aeue districts of the
west, south west, and south, it is literally over
whelming, and it may be said of the advces from all
parts OF the country Of the it is effccting in
dyspepsia, bilious complaints, an. chronic constpa-
ton, that "thelr name is legion " Everywhere the
sick and feeble to have realized the importance
OF holding fast that which is good" and avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous.

THE following anecdote of Gen. Sheridan
sounds rather like fabrication. His private
house on Wabash avenue was visited by many
members of the Chicago Common Council dur
ing Tuesday, all desiring to have the Genera
proclaim martial law and relieve them from
the duty of protecting the city. At last Gen
Sheridan became angry, and belched forth in
the following style at Ex-Governor Oglesby
Mayor Mason and other leading members Of
the city government
How much longer are you id fools going
to annoy me? Why don't you call upon the
citizens to organize and patrol the city? Here
last night, when every - of you was in bed
was patroling the streets with my officers
We saw the flames bursting from a house on
Thirty first and Butter field streets, and with
out waiting foT help, we rushed into the house,
selzed the water pitchers, and threw their con-
tents on the fire; then we tore the house to
pieces and trampled out the fire. We expect
to be on duty again to nj yht and every night
until people can rest easy I will have seven
hundred Infantry here tomorrow, and will
take charge of the burned district; but until
then will not relieve you of your responsible
ity. The delegation withdrew in disgust.

While the President of the United States
and the Goyerpor-General of Canada are
asso Eating on the most friendly terms
for the purpose of giving ectat TO an event
that is to strenethen the friendly rela-
ito IS OF ethe two countries, it is most III
oppOrtuue and unfortunate that brltlsu
man -of-war should be cruising along Tue
coast wing i'm wait for a Yankee schooner,
while a naval force is dispatched by our own
authorizes ''to uphold the dignity OF the
American flag 1t is distressing to reflect
that even a little matter of this kind may, by
brin ing on a collision through the agency of
hot-headed naval officers, embroil the two
countries in serious difficulties, and indeed in
war The sc. A. Horton" is a little fishing
schooner which was seized Iby the Canadian
government for violation of the fishing laws
and carried into the port of Guysboro, Nova
Scotia. On Sunday of last week she was
''cut out" by her audacious Yankee master
with the assistance of his friends, and is now
eluding the pursuit of outraged John Bull
so here is genuine, serious international
complication, requiring the action of the CHIEF
executive of both countries. This is the state
OF things thai the Canadians talk of perpetu-
atng for the sake of keeping their neishbors
from participating in their fisheries. Ifthey
conclude to reject the treaty OF Washington
so far as it is applicable to the fishery ques.
ton, they must not expect that good provi
dence will always in the futare, as,in the past
prevent dangerous complications from grow
ing out of British and American rivalry OF
the fishing grounds. The situation will b
one OF constant danger. "Rumors of war;" a
least, will be constantly exciting the appre
hension Of the public. just now, were it no
for this wretched little Horton affair, the feel
ing between England and the United States
would be excellent. The English are crate
full to our authorities for so promptly arrest
ing that comical Fenian toray over the borde
in Manitoba. The international festivities
attending the opening of new line of com
munication are calculated to soothe the feel
ings of the distinguished men who participate
in them. We hope that any serious trouble
may be avoided by mutual forbearance.

The PRESIDENT ANGRY.-After the cere

Postofice was over the crowd surrounded
General Grant desiring to shake hands with
him. For minute the President smiled
grmly, and grasped as many hands as was
practicable in the moment of time allowed be-
iore the starting of his carriage. AS he moved
away aud the tentacular crowd parted, the
President was observed as he looked over his
lett shoulder TO wear an expression compound
ed OF physical anguish and rage. 1t appeared
that some one OF the multtudinous hand
shakers, uniting brutality with muscularity,
had assaulted the President by an unmercitnl
grip born of admiration or malevolence. The

shoulder and compressed his lips, appeared

Later developments of the Ohio senatorial
question are more favorable to the cause Of
Mr.. Sherman. Politicians from that State,
within day or two, state that Mr. Garfield
might be dangerous competitor were he not
supposed to be destined for the Craftsmanship
OF The ways and means committee. Mr.
Schenck being out of the country is out of the
race. Mr.. nelano, it is generally understood,
does not now contemplate entering the cam
palm in earnest, and Judge Bingham, while
willing to exchange the House for the Senate,
is not likely to make serious effort for the
privilege this winter, so Mr.. Sherman seems
