The Long Branch Races.
Longfellow Beats Bassett.
Morrissey and Other New York
ers Heavy Losers,

MONMOUTH, N. j., July 1.-The attendance
to-day was immense. The great race of the
day was for the Monmouth Cup, a dash of two
and a half miles, which had twelve nominal
tons of $50 each, play or pay, added to purse
of $500, the second to receive $500, and the
third $3.50 out of the stakes. At the sale of
pools Bassett brought $500 and Longfellow
$1,000. Subsequently Bassett brought $4,000
and Longfellow $1,000. The excitement was at
fever heat.
But little difficulty was experienced in effect
ing start, and the horses got away together,
Bassett having the inside track. For the first
half they ran head and head, the only advan-
tage if any, being in favor of Bassett. AS the
horses warmed into their stride and passed the
grand stand the excitement rose to fever pitch.
The first mile and half found the positions
unchanged, but the hackers of Bassett evident
ly had a misgiying as their favorite was doing
his best, while it seemed as if Longfellow was
being held in by the rider. Their fears were
confirmed when the horses swept past the grand
stand the second time. Longfellow's rider gave
head to his horse, who CALAMITY responded and
quickly placed two lengths between himself and
Bassett. The scene was now indescribable.
Men threw hats in the air and cheered wildly
The ladies waived their handkercbiefs and bet
countless pairs of gloves on John Harper's
steed. From this moment it was evident that
all was up with Bassett, and although his rider
used whip and spur without stint it was of no
avail. Every moment Longfellow increased
his lead and landed an easy winner in LA, or
as some of the judges claim, in 4.33 Bassett
was beaten over a dozen lengths The enthu-
siasm of the Western men was unbounded
They crowded around John Harper, cheering
and congratulating the old man, who also SEEM
ed laboring under great excitement. Immense
sums were lost on the race by New Workers.
John Morrissey was among the heavy losers.
The days races were acknowledged IL finest
and best conducted of the American turf.

The BOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD AND
SUMNER AND BEACH STREETs.-The engineer
of the Boston and Maine railroad and the city
engineer, to whom the City Council referred
the subject of proposed change of location and
details of protection of the several streets in
this city to be crossed by the Boston and Maine
railroad on Monday made report of the mat
ter so far as it relates to Summer and Beach
streets. 1t will be remembered that the former
street departs from West Commercial street
at nearly right angles and extends northerly a
little more than one hundred feet, where it
turns to the right at an angle of about 600 and
runs direct to Clark street. The railroad occu-
pies the entire width of the street at point IS
feet easterly of the angle, crossing the street
diagonally at very acute angle, the northerly
line of the road meeting the southerly line of
the street at point nearly 300 feet easterly of
the angle. If the present southerly line of the
street at West Commercial street be maintain
ed, bridge LOG feet long will be required and
an embankment of at least Is feet high at
the angle of the street must extend from West
Commercial street to the bridge. 1t is pro-
posed to keep this part of the street as court,
and in its. stead to open new terminus of tho
street from the junction of Beach and West
Commercial street to point on the present
grade of Summer street, high enough for
clear passage of the railroad beneath, bridge
80 feet wide to be built at the new point of
junction. The easterly line of the distillery
estate will form the westerly line of the new
street; and the court opening out of West
Commercial street to be called Summer Court
Beach street, between Clark and Brackett, is
occupied by the railroad, and if preserved must
be tunneled or bridged with a very long and
expensive structure. 1t is proposed to discOn-
tinue this portion of the street and in compen-
satiOn therefor, to open a continuation of York
street, from Brackett to Clark, at reduced
width and on a curve swinging somewhat to
the SOUTH west of Bracket street. These
changes are all to be made at the expense of
the railroad company, and they are to build and
maintain all requisite wing walls and guard
fences for the protection of all adjoining streets
and estates.
The report was referred to the Committee ON
laying out new streets, by both branches.

Tribute to DIR, Robin.on.

AT meeting of the Apothecaries and Drug
gists of Portland, held July I'd, the duty of
drafting the following resolutions was entrust-
ed to a Committee with instructions that they
should be published in the daily papers:
Whereas, By a fiat of Divine Providence, the
life and labors of DIR. VIM. c. Robinson have
recently been unexpectedly terminated, the
Druggists of Portland desiring to place upon
record, through an authorized Committee, their
estimate of the deceased as an upright man and
honorable physician, and also their sense of the
loss to the profession of pharmacy by his death,
do hereby Rsolye,
That by the death of DIR. Robinson the apoth-
ecaries of Portland have lost a firm friend. a
