that city. About month ago he was sunstruck,
and only by the greatest care his life was saved.
Since then he has given frequent evidences of in.
sanity and for weeks past has been over-indulgent
in the use Of spirituous liquors. On Sunday
last an article in local paper reflect
ing on his drinking prOpensities fearfulIy excited
him. He afterwards became very despondent, and
said he would be ashamed to show his face again
upon the street. Yesterday morning he arose and
gave his sick child medicine, retiring again to
bed. Between four and fve O'Clock he again arose
and went into the yard, returning shortly after to
his kitchen. In a few moments his wife heard
the report Of pistol, but thought her
husband was shooting cat. Not
hearing any noise after the report
she became alarmed, and went into the room where
the shot was fred ana found her husband sitting
upon chair holding In one hand navy revolver,
with which he had committed the fatal act. The
neighbOrs were Immediately called and phy ysiclan
summoned, but the suicide breathed his last before
the medical man arrived On examining the body
1t was discovered that Mcknight had placed the
muzzc OF the revolver In his mouth and fred the
ball entering the throat, and passing through to
the spine.

THE RACING.

The track was In very good condition, but il was
little deep in dust, there not having been good
rain in Monmouth county for weeks. Now that
the over, the farmers in the neighborhood
OF the Monmouth Park will hope for rain, as they
require it; but forbore from praying for It during
the race meeting, for fear the sport would be
spoiled.
Three OF the best races came or yesterday that
ever took place or any track each OF them being
won a. closely as 1t was possible to have them. The
first WAS steeple chase Of nearly three miles, and
II was won by only neck 10y Duffy; aud then the
four-miie dash was won only by length by Susan
Ann, and the Consolation was run SO closely that
the winner only got in by head and the second
horse only beat the third by q like distance, while
the fourth was beaten by q neck.
In the first race-the steeple chase-there we're
nine entries, but only flve would accept the weights
when they were announced. These were Mr. Ban

shown to accept what is considered on the aole u

be proven to show that Caldwell has been Illegally

sidered probable that Merrinon will contest tho
