EB great improvement has been made
in front of the residence of Ashbel Welch,
Esq. The steps, which formerly occupied a
considerable part of the pavement, hive been
removed and placed at the side of the plat
form, thus giving more room for pedestrians.
There are great many other places in our
city which ought to be altered in similar
way.
Along Union St, which is more travelled
than any other in our city, the pavements are
altogether too narrow. Three persons cannot
walk abreast, and on Sundays, when people
are going to and from church, the difficulty
of passing is a great annoyance. More room
is given to vehicles than is necessary. Three
feet added to the width of the sidewalks would
then leave the carriage road as wide as in
many of the principal streets of New York,
on which there is more carriage travel in a
day then on Union street in three months.

At the Driving Club meeting on Sat

heats in 2:51, 2:3S and 2:3Sa. This
horse made the fastest time last season
in 2:383 and Lady Shaw, owned by
Mr.. Prosper Shaw, equalled it this sea
son in the same time which stood as
the fastest time made this year, until
Crook beat it, as above noted.
Mr.. Palmer then trotted his mare
against Mr.. Harry Yates bay horse
Andy, and won it. In the last heat the
mare was sent to make fast time. She
made break on the first turn, and LOST
quite good deal, but on getting to her
trot she speeded very fast. She did
the first half in l 90 (2:40 gait, and the
mile in 2:36. Several watches made il
2:351. Mr.. Durham and others timed
the last half in l :15l (2:31l gait. This
is remarkable rate of speed for thi:
track. yet the horsemen think that she
can trot faster. 1t rained heavily the
night before and the track was soft in
places, and the horses had to trot nearly
in the middle of the track.

THE THIRD REGIMENT.

The Army and Navy Journal of last
week had the following. The Journal
is authority among military men in this
country. Its compliments to the
"Third" are therefore to be appreciat-
ed:
The Second brigade has returned
from its Cape May encampment, and
has at last become dry again after its
weeks wetting. Somehow or other the
Third Infantry and Colonel j. Madison
Drake, its commander, seems to have
swallowed the other component parts of
the brigade, and the Jersey papers ap-
pear to be filed almost entirely with the
doings of the Third. Is it true that the
Sixth and Seventh Infantry. the. artil-
lery, or the cavalry did nothing? Or
did they do all the drilling and the
Third all the ceremonies 1t is APP.
parent, however, that the latter com
mand, by its strength and esprit de
corps, to say nothing OF its handsome
uniforms and its martyred commander,
carried the day at Cape May, and won
all the applause. The little "unplea-
santness' between the Thirds comman-
der and the general of the Second has
placed the Third New Jersey prominent
ly before the public, and at one time
the newspapers kept standing the cap
headings
THE DRAKE COURT MARTIAL.
That court came to an end without
much injury to the colonel of the Third,
and just in time to allow Colonel Drake
to turn the table on his accuser by be-
coming himself an accuser, thereby pre-
venting the Second brigade commander
from enjoying his wonted powers at the
brigade encampment. This was cruel
cut in fact, the unkindest incision of
all. The encampment is over General
DeHart lost all the glory, and the Third
and Colonel J. Madison Drake came
home with wet but flying colors. The
tedious trial has now got to come but
every one can see that the preferred
charges are of character awakened en-
tirely by personal feelings, and of no
general interest to the military public.
But it is not for us to say whether the
Second brigade, of New Jersey, has an
incompetent commander, or whether
the Third Infantry has colonel whose
zeal sometimes overstep the mark. In
the words of greater warrior than
either, Let us have peace.

quets at Congress Hall, Stockton, Co.

was pleasantly passed, and the men of
the Third feel that they have been bene-
flied by the fatigue. The Cape May
papers speak in the highest manner of
Colonel Drake and his splendid regi-
ment, which is pronounced without
superior in this country.
