now wish to oust him. They swear they Will have

bad effect upon business. 1t seems about to retard
the recuperation OF the State financially from the
effects Of the immense frauds perpetrated within
the last few years. No State In the Union has
better prospects than this one, II the sea OF politics

FLEETWOOD PARK.

Three hundred gentlemen who visited Fleet
wood Park yesterday were sadly disappointed to
find that the two trots announced had been post
poned. There was no reasonable excuse offered
for the absurd proceeding, and the people left the
Park highly incensed. The track had not been in
such good condition any day this season as it was
yesterday afternoon, and all the drivers who had
horses engaged were anxious to trot Many OF
them took their horses on the track and insisted
on the trots coming OF. They were, however,
postponed until another day, which we suppose
will be one when the sun shines brightly.
At Chambern's rooms, No. 1,146 Broadway, last
night there were no pools sold on the postponed
contests the 2:34 and 2:25 purses, but the gentle
men present were anxious to- invest on the 2:21

caring for an Umbrella.

An incident that befell recent trav'
eler on a New Hampshire railroad, is
thus told by the Portsmouth Chronicle:
" He had occasion to get out of the car
at New Market Junction, leaving his
umbrella lying across the seat he had
vacated Returning, two nicely dressed
ladies sat in the seat ahead, and as he
resumed his sitting one of them said

said she, and the accommodating gen.

lady. Then pause. Now, if you

shown such peculiar interest in it was
observed to flush deeply, while the
owner regretted that he had found it

AnExnensiYe Reyerage.

The city of Bremen possesses twelve
hogsheads of what, according to certain
calculations undertaken by the Neue
Freie Presse, must be the most expen-
sive beverage in the world. The town
purchased in 1924 twelve hogsheads OF
Rudesheimer at 300 gold thalers each.
These were placed in the municipal Gel
lars, where they still remain. At the
end of next year these hogsheads will
be $50 years old, and will, reckoning
the interest on the original price at five
per cent, have cost 100, ,6S0,0 900 Prussian
thalers. The waste of wine from evapo-
ration is always estimated at five per
cent. per annum; there remain, conse-
quentiy, only 465 bottles of the original
supply. This annual loss has been made
up by means of old wine found in the
cellar. Calculating the price of a'bottle
of this wine at one thaler only, the
2l6,000 bottles which will have been
thus added by the end of 1874 will be
worth 3,427, 920, 900 thalers, granting the
same rate of interest, five per cent. AT
the end of next year the twelve hogs
heads thus replenished will have cost
4,2lS, 100000 thalers, giving an average
of 244, 1872 thalers per bottle. The hogs
heads are not, however, all Of the same
value. They are filed up on system
by which the wine added must, in the
course of time, pass through all the
eleven hogsheads before reaching the
last, which contains the Oldest and most
precious liquid, each drop of which,
reckoning bottle at 1000 drops, is now
worth $4,000 thalers.
