There was a strange mixture Of the godiy and the
ung0dly on the Long Branch boats yesterday morn
ing. The saints. on their way to the Ocean Grove
camp meeting, mingled with the sinners on their
way to the races, and the two parties eyed each
ether with great curiosity. The saints were and
women of meek and holy mein. who shuddered
when pools mentioned, and almost tainted
looking at the programmes OF the amusement
which were being sold upon the vessel. Those on
their way to the races were gOOd-natured looking
men. with red faces and Jolly aspects. and they
did not In the slightest degree blush beneath the
burden OF their sins, as the opposition expected
they would.
Plymouth Rock. AS she was steaming down the
bay the Cunard steamship Scotia was little in
advance, outward bound. The Plymouth Rock was
making fast time, and in few minutes she was
alongside Of the ScoJa. AS the two vessels came
abreast the band OF the Plymouth Rock struck up
"GOd Save the Queen" which was quickly changed
to yankee DOodel." All ON board the Scotia
acknowledged the graceful compliment by cheering
and waving OF handkerchiefs, which was taken up
on the other deck and echoed back again. The
Plymouth Rock then rapidly showed ahead, leaving
the Scotia to pursue its ocean way.
The attendance at Monmouth Park yesterday was

though there was some excellent running. Mr..
NeGrAth the owner OF Ton bowling, was on the
course seemingly in no way cast down by the
disaster OF the previous day. He was smiling and
confident locking and whatever other people think
about his horse he is willing to stand by him Tor
some time longer.
One of the most peculiar institutions in con-
necton with the races Is the police. They are
dressed in gray linen suits, and wear large black
cotton umbrellas on their heads. They are Jersey
men pure and to the manner born and look as Sc
date and solemn the Persians in the OF the
Shah. Their services largely called for, as

good nature is generally displayed which is tignly
creditable to the parties concerned. some amuse-
