THE hurdle race over the Louisiana
Jockey Club course, Saturday, resulted
IN a dead heat between Limestone and
Capt. Hutchinson, and was made in
the remarkably quick time Of 1858. The
Nelg Orleans Pieay1ue says:
"Such an event as a dead heat In
hurdle race has occurred but twice be-
fore IN this country, to the recollection
of turfmen. The first instance was in
the race between Virgin and Blind
Tom On the old Metairie several years
ago, and the second on some Northern
course between Limestone and Bullet.
1t Is also worthy Of remark that this
p race was the fastest Of the kind on
record, with the exception Of that won
by Lochiel at Long Branch, when the
remarkable time Of 3:523 was made.

POLITICAL.

Comments ON the Massachusetts Conven.
ton.
New YORK, Sept. 3O-The World says f
the Massachusetts, Republican Convention that
it would have been good policy to nominate
Adams, but nobody outside of Independent
newspapers believed the Republicans would
nominate him.
The Times says the friends of Adams have
scared the professional politicians and made a
demon stration in the convention which was
formidable, to say the least. Contrasting the
Republican with the Democratic candidate for
governor, it must be admitted that the former
stands head and shoulders above the latter, in
all respects which are to be considered in an
intelligent canvass The platform adopted
by the Massachusetts Republican Convention
| is compact, frank and positive. 1t recon-
| mends itself to the good sense of every read
er.
The Tribune says the Republicans of Mas
sachusetts might have doue better and might
have done worse. They have done again,
what they have been so much in the habit of
nominated their respectable little ticket,
adopted their pretty little resolutions drawn
long breath, and gone home thanking God
that they have been delivered this time from
DIR. Loring.
The Sun says the Republicans of Massa-
chusetts will be beaten. That is settled. Ad-
ans was their only chance, and not a first rate
chance either.
The Herald considers all the proceedings as
plain dstrust of President Grant, the plat
form sound, the vote for Mr.. Adams signifi-
cant, and of Mr.. Rice it says he is gentleman
and scholar, but the laberIng masses of Mas
sachusetts think him Boston aristocrat and
his election may be deemed doubtful against
the very popular Democratic ticket

He said be had concluded to disappoint those
who called on HIM ii tst, in the expectation Of
getting short speech, and he had jotted down
things he wished to say.
He then expressed his qualification in recall
ing the days when they had suffered together
to preserve government they believed worth
fighting for, and even dying for. We will not,
he said, deny to any OF those who fought
against US any privilege under the government
which we claim for ourselves. On the contra
~ we welcome all such who come forward in
good faith to help to build up the waste places
and to perpetuate our institutions against all
enemies, as brothers in full interest with us in
to apologize for the past. To guard against a
recurrence of those days we must begin by
guarding against every enemy preventing the
prosperity of free Republican institutions.

tainly not partisan politics, but it is fair sub

affairs, and if we are to have another contest
