The race at jerome Park on Saturday last
the Maturity Stakes, was not merely q
surprise in its result, but, as closely con-
tested race, has perhaps never been surpassed
In the interest 1t suddenly excited while the
running was in progress. Before the race the
betting on Harry Bassett was ten to one, with
few takers and, even on the second mile,
though barely leading by neck, the sporting
fraternity held their faith in his powers, only
to be mistaken. The event was hailed with
wonder, not unmingled with delight, that
something had beaten the favorite for fame
on the turf is fckleness itself.
It will, therefore, be of interest to. all who
dote on. the chestnut King of the Turf, albeit
dethroned, to learn that he will contest the
crown with Monarchist on Saturday next.
They are both declared positively as starters
in the. four-mile race for the twelve hundred
dollar. purse. As Bassett was declared some
what out of condition on last Saturday every
effort is being made to bring him up to the
archist, too, is receiving the close attention Of
his trainers, and we may conclude that they
will meet in excellent condition on the day
after tomorrow. The prospect Of this meet
ing of the two great horses at Jerome Park is
exercising all who admire speed and beauty in
horseAesh, and as the money usually follows
varieties Of opinion in such matters we are
sure that large sums will be changed there
anent Given fine day, with such q contest
ON the cards, and the Fall Meeting Of the
American Jockey Club will close in brilliant
gathering beggaring the many fine displays
which have preceded it.
Tho Exodus from tho British, Islonds.
The stream of emigration from the British
Isles continues to flow with undiminished
force The official reports of the departures
from Liverpool during the last three months
amount to the enormous figure of ffty-four
thousand souls. When we remember that this
Is only one Of the ports Of departure some
idea of the. drain on the British population
may be formed. Ireland, which contributes
such large quota to the emigrant list, is only
partially represented in these figures, as nearly
all the steamers from Liverpool coll at Queens
town, where they embark passengers for
America. Another important stream sets ont
from Glasgow, and is fed at Londonderry in
the same way that the Liverpool lines are fed
in Cork. Taking the emigrants from these
sources and from London and Southampton
into consideration We would be justified in
setting down the emigration from the British
Isles at nearly four hundred thousand souls
yearly. This immense loss Of labor power
will in the end seriously affect the industrial
supremacy Of England, as labor must Of ne
cessity become dear as it becomes scarce. For
the most part the emigrants turn their faces
toward the United States, and the increase OF
our productive powers is in direct proportion
to the loss Of England. In Europe oil the ad-
vantages of life are centred in the wealthy
classes, and those who have to depend on
work must be content TO labor on in hopeless
poverty. They see in America new field
where there is plenty Of scope for the indus
