SNEAK THlEvEs.-This class OF oblique
acquirers of unmatched chattels are begin

District especially is afflicted with them.
Housekeepers, beware; let not the guileless
looking way farer wander through the prem

thought Mr.. Smith lived there, or shielding
himself behind the thin disclaimer that he's
only looking after work.

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

The Milwaukee Ne,Us calls Ben Butler 1.-THE
p rate OF our politics." He does seem to buckin'.
peer some OF the old logy politicians in Massachu
setts.
The JOhnstown PA Voice having been called
fool by the Holidaysourg Standard for showing up
the dangers Of Casarism, the VOtCe editor ret0rts
by saying that, although not precisely q fool, yet,
so long as HOlidaysbnrg remains where 1t is he Is
"pretty near one."
The Hartford Post says the masses of the repub-
lican party are animated by selfsacrifcing
spirit. That Is more than their representatives In
Congress are or they would have sacrificed" their
back pay.
1t Is stated as a fact that there are more youths
in the South receiving military education at this
time than there are in the North. Is the South
preparing for "Casarism" or what?
The st. Louis Globe afrms that General Grant
has denied having any wish for third term.
"But,n it adds, "the Grant-phobists won't be de-
prived OF their hobby In this way. They'll not take
mo- for an answer. VIII he, Mill he, they will run
him for q third term" Perhaps liberal reward
will be paid for authentic information that General
Grant has positively declined third term.
The Chicago Post says:-"The nomination Of
Cushman X. Davis for Governor Of Minnesota by
the Republican Convention at st. Paul will excite
some surprise beyond the limits OF that State,
however 1t may be received within 1t. There had
been belief that the proverbal good fortune OF
the Washburnes would have secured renOmina
ton Tor the present Governor" Perhaps the
nomination Of Washburne would not "wash" on
the fafmers question,

crate service, attended a reception Nyeh Dy GOV

MONMOUTH PARK.
Yesterday's Long Branch Races Post-
Poned Until T0-Morrow.


The races at Long Branch set down TO be de-
Monday, because OF the inclement weather. The
storm OF Friday night and yesterday morning was
very severe at the Branch. blowing down telegraph
wires and poles, besides doing much other damage
though not OF very serious character. After
waiting until haipast eight O'Clock the Stewards OF
Monmouth Park decided upon the postpone ment
OF the contests, inasmuch as the track deluged
and the rain, which still continued would preclude
the possibility OF thousands witnessing the
amusement who greatly desire TO do so,
but could not in heavy storm. Tnis
decision pleased the hundreds OF ladies
to lose the chance OF seeing the concluding races;
and II also delighted the owners OF the horses
which are to compete, as they were very reluctant
TO risk. such valuable animals IN the deep mud,
to remain at the Branch is u serious drawback, as
they desire to be al Saratoga with their horses for
the coming races al the earliest practicable moment
SO soon as the decision was made putting on the

gers by the early boats might be apprised OF
II in time to turn back; but the wires were not
repaired until nearly noon, and, OF course, there
was much annoyance felt and some little ndigna-
ton expressed when the track was reached and III
was found the sport would not go on. No blame,
however, can possibly be attached to the manage
ment OF Monmouth Park because Of the postpone
ment and all those that visited the Branch yester-
day ana were disappointed viii more than be
repaid tomorrow by attending as the last races OF
the meeting VIII be OF the most interesting nature.
The boats tomorrow morning will leave at the
usual hour, but that at forty minutes past nine

passengers will reach the course In season TO

Between twelve and thirteen hundred people
assembled on the Union Grounds yesterday after
noon to witness the game between the Mutual and

late M. J. Kelly. Had the weather been at all
favorable there would doubtless have been at least
three times as many spectators, but the threaten

rain would come down. Hicks, OF the Mutuals was

CATSKILL PARK RACES,

The trotting meeting at Catskill Park, to take
place during the coming week. promises to be one
of the best AFFAIRS Of the season. The very large
number OF entries made, especially for the
first race OF each day. show how wide
spread and keen has been the apprecia.
tion OF this fact among the owners OF

to the interest OF the spectators on the course
The fact that these races can be reached by boat
after charming sail on the river and those who
dread the dust and confusion Of railroad travel
may thus avoid 1t, will no doubt add greatly to
their success.
