GOLDSMITH MAID VS.. TAME.
The Queen of the Turf Makes the
Astonishing Time of 2.Ii.

After the races at Mystic Park on We'd
nesday afternoon an exhibition was gwen
OF the superior speed of Goldsmith Maid.
in which she succeeded in beating her pre-
vious record, in trottng mile in 2.14.
Goldsmith Maid was brought out at a
quarter to four o'clock, and after receiving
the applause of the crowd her driver logged
her around the track three times for exer-
else, and then with running horse to ex-
cite her TO speed she started. Her trotting
through the whole mile was steady and the
last half was little faster than the first.
James Golden's running horse, Jennie, did
not catch up with her in the heat. The
second was the one in which the most
strenuous effort was to be made, and every
body crowded for place to witness the
feat. The start was very fine and the run
ming horse pressed the Maid hard. All the
way along the quarter the Maid went like a
shot and kept as steadily at her work as
though she was merely exercising. Near
the half-polc the Maid skipped just little
but was down again in second On turn
ing for the last time, she seemed TO let out
her speed, and the way she came down the
last stretch was most glorious. Urged on
by Doble she seemed to be at her greatest
speed while going under the wire, which
she passed in two-tourteen.
The following is summary of the heats
by quarter and half miles:

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

At the hour at which we are writing. al
though the returns are somewhat meaore,
enough have been received to indicate. al
most beyond the possibility of a doubt.
that Hon. Luke p. Poland has been de-
feated as a candidate for member of Con-
grcss from the second district of Vermont.
If fuller returns should by any possi-
bility, and we do not see the prospect
OF any such possibility, show that
he has been elected, we shall not re-
greet saying what we are about to say,
because political success cannot change the
truth or vary our opinion in reference to
the merits of particular individual TAX
ing it for granted that Judge Poland is de-
feated, we have no tears to shed or grief
TO eXpend on the result. We, the rather.
rejoice in his defeat, and believe that it is
matter for public congratulation. 1t is true
that he received the regular republican
nomination and, therefore, in accordance
with strict party usage was entitled to the
support of the party If we had resided in
the district, we shonld have been casscd
among the ''bolters," and we do not he
lieve that we should have become any the
less a republican thereby. Judge Poland
having been defeated at this trial. il is fair
to presume that his congressional career
will close with the present Congress
Many republicans, that voted for him
at this time on the score of beinc
found by a Irregular nomination" will feel
released from that obligation on the pcxt
trial, and will give their votes and influence
for another man. This is in accordance
with general rules, and il will be found es
pecially applicable in this case. Judge
Poland pOlled his full vote on Tuesday
last, and, in our opinion founded upnn
trustworthy information, he can never
command anywhere near the same number
OF supporters again. Without presumipr
to Interfere in the affairs of the district
but as our paper circulates to a larre ex-

Before briefly abiding to some of the
causes which have tended to bring bout
this result, we may say that strange ia

brook the idea of man who had been
chief justice of her court oil last resort
the court which finally declared what was
the common law and placed fixed con-
struction on our statute law-going from
town TO town to secure a nomination but
there was another fact, in this connection.
which should have been mentioned. for its
effect was felt throughout the district.
This man, so honored by the people, at
tended the primary meeting in his own
town and, after it was announced that the
"hoX was closed, he deposited a vote for
the delegates who were pledged to vote for
his nomination. Had that vote been given
at the commencement of the ballotng. il
would have lost him the vote Of the town
OF st. Johnsbury in the nominating con-
ventlon. AS it was, it cost him enough
votes to defeat his election. There is, per.
haps, another fact which tended more to
his defeat than all other causes combined
men that Vermont desires to have for her
representatives in Congress. We need say
no more on this point, as every one under
stands what we mean. If this is SO, it may
be asked, why has he been SO often honor
ed by the people and legislature of Yer
mont? The question is pertinent, ahd an
a'swcr can be made at the proper time. We
nave now been considering only some of
the causes which tended to his defeat, net
why he so long retained the confidence of
our people. In public lite, so far as tic
voters of Vermont have voice in the mat
ter. Judge Poland will be more seen.
He has made the fatal mistake, so frequent
ly made, of trying his chances once too
often.

REPORT
OF THE WORKING OF THE CEN
TRIAL FACTORY SYSTEM IN
MARTINIQUE.
To His Excellency Governor Garde,
Commander of Daunebrog,
ETC., etc, etc.

We, the undersigned, appointed by
your ExcelIency to investigate and report
upon the working of the Central Factories
in Martinique, have the honour to submit
the following Report
We arrived at st. Pierre. Martinique,
the chief commercial port Of the island, on
the 18th June, and, provided with recon-
mendations, fromseveral gentlemen, we pro-
ceeded at once to the USine St. Pierre,
managed by NJ. Rousselot, situated at a
short distance from the town of st. Pierre.
We were also provided with letters of re-
commentator to NJ. Bougenot. the most
prominent Administrator of Central Facto-
ries of the island, who now manages 7 Fac
tories, and to NJ. Quennesson, another emf
nent manager of several Factories.
NJ Rousselot very kindly gave US all
the information we asked for relative to
the Factory st Pierre, also called Riyi6re
Blanche.
This Factory is one of those in the ISL
and which do not pay, and the reason is
in this as in other cases evident, viz, the
want O canes. The Factory is situated
Ou the Spd SllOlC at lllc lllUQlu Vi Il btlldll
river, and consequently is not in want of
water but it had unfortunately been
erected before the necessary supply of
canes had been secured. 1t is but a small
one, capable of making 5000 Boucauts
1880 Tons) of sugar without nightwork,
which would increase the quantity by one
third, but on account of the aboVemen-
toned local difficulties and other draw
backs, the quantity of canes received was
far less than required for the full working
of the Usine. In 1878 the manufacture
was only 1900 Boucauts, at 1000 lbs. net
each, in 1874 1900 BoucautS, not more
than one half of the capacity of the
Usine The cost Of the whole Factory,
including 2 steam-tugs. 9 punts or light
ers, and 5 kilometres of railway, Il kilome-
tre=about $500 English tee0 costing
10000 francs per kiIometre, including roll
ling stock-was 1900 frcs.=$280,0 900.
The dimensions of the main building are
65 by 81 yards. The walls are of stone
and the roof of corrugated iron. The mill

tres, Il metre-39 81 100 Eng. in, and the
centlmetre 100 OF the metre), ana the yield
ofsugar7-8 lbs. to the cwt. of canes, besides
the Rum and Syrup, of which the value is
about l = of that Of the Sugar.
Three qualities of sugar are made of
the first quality about 81 p. Ct, of the Sc
cond and third about 7 p. CT. of each, or,
in other words, 100 lbs. of canes give 6
lbs. fist quality sugar, and J ID or more
of the second and third qualities respec-
lively. The yield of iuice is about 70 p. CT.

during the two years the Factory has been
working.
The Planter receives 8 p. c.. Of the
weight of the canes of Bonnie Quatrieme,
equal to No. II Dutch Standard, the price
being regulated by the market at St. Pierre
at the time the canes are delivered but
