appetites of the celebrators was served
up, and the viands were very extern
sively demolished. We have not

proved in financial point, but sup

THE RACES.
About two hundred and fifty people
assembled upon the grounds of the
Agricultural Association to witness
the Fourth of July races. The princi-
pal feature of the day was trotting
race, mile heats, best three in five, to
harness, for a purse of one hundred
dollars. The entries were: Fergu-
son." driven by j. Hurd; "Rubber
Boy" in charge of J. Donohue, and
"Don Elioho," with McGregory as
driver. The race was closely contest
ed, standing at the end of the fourth
he; ev n between sF rgust NJ and
"Rubber Boy" The fifth heat was
hard contest, and resulted in giving
the victory to "Ferguson" by half a
length. Time, 3:0ll.
The dash of six hundred yards was
entered by "Bay JIM belonging to
p. Beaudry, and "Sleepy Charley"
owned by Mr.. Meyers. 1t was won
handily by EBAY jim"
Several sweepstake races were also
held, the most interesting of which
was quarter-mile dash, participated
in by eleven boys riding their own
ponies. The stake was won by Master
Machado, as also that in subsequent
mile dash.
About seven hundred dollars in pools
were sold by Messrs. Noyes and Dur
fee.
A NOTICEABLE FEATURE
Was the good order and happy free
dom from accidents and unpleasant
incidents throughout the day. There
was hardly thoroughly drunken man
to be found on the streets, although
there were many, of course, who 'just
had plenty" Not a single arrest was
made by the authorities. Not the
slightest accident, so far as we have
heard, occurred to man or beast.
There was not brawl or q knock
down in the city. Thus amicably and
happily did we celebrate our National

A dispatch from West Point, OF May 81

A dispatch from West Point, OF May ~,
says:
Out of ninety seven aspirants for military
honors at West Point, thirty-twO were SEM
back to school yesterday because they could
not WRITE spell or cypher, or were not
familiar with maps or grammar.
The colored candidates all failed yester-
day. The list of successful candidates was
made public. The whole class was drawn
up in line. and the names of those who
missed were called out and they stepped
two PAGES to the front, and were ordered to
break ranks and go home, while their more
fortunate companions were led to their
future quarters.
The most unfortunate applicants bear
their rejection very philosophicaily, but a,
few do not. One young gentleman said he
had got enough, he had missed on purpose.
Those who have failed will, at the option OF
the Senators and Representatives. who NOM
mated them. have the privilege OF present
ing themselves for examination IN Septem-
Der, when the autumn studies begin, with
those who are appointed to I'll! the vacan-
cies which may then exist. Cnatles
Mcclure, of Illinois, passed TINS examlns'
ton, but as he WAS nominated under mis-
take, there being n vacancy in his district
he will have to wait until next year, when
he will be admitted without examination.
The new cadets will take their first les
sons putting them in form, as it is called,
to day. The first class which 10 to be ex'
amined numbers in all forty two members,
but one, for some delinquency, has oeen
suspended, and will have to wait another
wear before being graduated. This class,
when first its members sought admission,
four wears ago, numbered l44, of whom one
half, or seventy nine, were rejected. From
q class of sixty-fve in that year it has
dvindled down to forty.two.

Mr.. SAWYER Seeking His Revenge
The following is from the Washington
correspondence of the New York Tribune:
The country has already had some anaz-
ing evidences of the contemplate charac-
ter of some of Assistant Secretary Sawyer's
official acts, but few persons would have
thought it possible for an officer OF his emf
nence to descend to such depth OF spite
and malice as was developed to-day IN con-
nection with one of the clerks of the Treas
ury Department. Mr.. SAWYER has not enter
tanned toward the members of the Ways
and Means Committee, since they made
free with his official acts in connection with
the Sanborn inquiry, the klndllest feelings;
on the contrary, he has denounced them in
both public and private. He has also de-
vised means to annoy them personally from
time to time The fact that Lucy G. Dawes,
of Massachusetts, was clerk IN the offce
of the register of the treasury came to the
attention of Mr.. Sawyer, and as he has
done similar acts to crafty personal malice,
he ordered the dismissal OF Miss Dawes,
under the impression. no doubt, that
che was a relative OF the chairman
her name being the same and her residence
Massachusetts. She at once, upon recelv-
ing notice of dismissal, signed by Sawyer,
sought that officer for an explanation, but
she was rudely treated, and informed it
was enough for her to know that she was
discharged. She had been told previously
by Sawyer's clerk that it was believed that
she was relative Of Mr.. Dawes of the
House. The lady, who is spoken of as one
of the most capable clerks in the Depart
ment, then applied to Mr.. Dawes, whom
she had never seen, and he was at that time
first made known of her existence. They
we're not relatives of even remote degree,
and Mr.. Dawes, being determined that she
should not suffer for his acts, early this
morning accompanied the lady to the
Treasury, where he had very plain talk
with Mr.. Richardson and demanded that
the lady should be restored, threatening to
tell the story in the House this evening.
1t is needless to say that when Mr.. Dawes
arrived at his hotel from the House, this
afternoon, ho was notified that the lady
would be restored to her place. She has
been in the Department for long time,
and was recommended by Charles Sumner.
