Pulpft Topics To-day.

The tone Of several of the topics to be dis
cussed to-day by our city pastors shows their
interest in and anxiety for q revival Of re-
ligion during this winter. Bishop Snow will
consider it in the light Of good time com
ing Mr.. Lloyd will treat it as the sound Of
victory in the mulberry trees Mr.. Ganse
will treat Of the revivalists, Paul and Apol-
los, and Mr.. Taylor will explain what it is
70 follow Christ, while Mr. Newton will take
up the general subject of revivals Of religion
and consider it. The guest chamber where
the Saviour sups with His disciples will be
furnished by Mr.. Mccarthy and the evil
effects Of INDIGESTION in spiritual matters,
together with the mysteries of Providence,
will be pointed out by Mr. Leavell. The
Lord az our helper and our banner will be
presented by Mr.. Hawthorne, and the time
and coming Of Christ and the end of the
world by Mr. Lightbourn. Mr.. Saunders
will take up the subject Of modern miracles,
which is now SO prominently before the pub
lie through the cure of o Brooklyn pastor Of
a disease OF many years standing Several
Brooklyn pastors will also discuss the same
theme, and will give attention to the coming
revival as we'll These are the chief topics
for consideration to-day.

A MOVEMENT FOR ECONOMY. 1t is rumored
that some citizens familiar with the princi-
Piles of finance have agreed to consult to-
gether for the purpose of considering how
we can best check the rapidly growing debt
Of the city and decrease our heavy expendi-
lures. Some action is undoubtedly necessary
five desire to save the city from bankruptcy.
The net debt on January /, 1871, was seventy
three million dollars. 1t is now about one
hundred and thirty millions, being an in
crease of fifty-seven millions. The expenses
of the years government in 1870 were nine
teen million dollars. This year they ara
thirty-six millions-an increase of seventeen
millions In 1871 the real estate Of the city
was valued at seven hundred and seventy
millions, and in 1875 at eight hundred and
eighty-four millions-an increase of one
hundred and fourteen millions, in the face
of an actual shrinkage in real estate of about
thirty per cent. In the meantime personal
property is valued ninety millions less III
1875 than in 1871 These few facts are better
than volume of argument to prove the
necessity Of financial reform.

Thn Ananmn Races.

Tho meeting "a Jerome Park yesterday
va an interesting event The races were
unusually One. ana there was promptitude
about he starting which ~ have not OBJ
scryedsai former meetings, and which added
largely - The interest ~ thcs sport The acct
dent which befeil Calvin was . melancholy
event and threw . gloom over the gathering,
every one ~ whom seemed to feel
a personal interest in tho misforunes Of this
noble beast Accidents will happen; but
We are glad b think that in this case il was
not the result Of mischief or malignity. The
weather was beyond criticism. II was every
thing October could BE-. This Il saying o
great deal. for in our Northern climate
October is rich with sunshine, fresh breezes
and clear. life-giving air.
The interest shown in the nces yesterday
bids fair TO continue throughout the whole
meeting The best stables In tho country
were represented. and the leaders a our turf
rejoiced in the opportunity Of showing what
they had done in bringing the horse 70 per-
lection In reference 10 the suggestion by
our reporter, that il might be well TO
make these races more popular by limit
ing admission fees 20 the stands and
the quarter stretch, we have only TO
say that, practically, the race course at
jerome Park is open to the public for, as
was seen yesterday, there were as many peo-
pie outside of the gates looking on from the
hills and the points Of observation beyond
the park grounds as there were within. At
the same time anything that makes horse
racing popular by enabling the people to
take part in these annual meetings will be
of advantage to the turf and to the people
The value of racing is not simply in these
trials of skill, but in the results
which come from the education of the horse.
When we see the amount ofcapital, the time,
the energy, the ability, devoted to this pur-
suit when we observe the affectionate inter-
est which racing men feel in their noble
charges, we can well understand how the pop
ularity of the turf must result in the i'm
provement of the horse.
The fear that the turf would sink into a
mere gambling concern is not justified by
any experience in England or America. OF
course yenturesome people will gamble on
horses as they do upon stocks or church
pews or in railways. The gambling spirit
would find occupation if there were not a
horse or racing track in America. There
would be just as much justice in
recommending the abolition Of horse rae
ing because pools are bought and sold
as there would be in recommending the abo-
lition Of the Central Railroad because job
bers in Wall street buy puts" and ''calls"
on its stock The real value of the turf is in
the popularity it gives to horsemanship and
the interest it excites in the development of
the horse. For this reason we congratulate
the people upon the opening at Jerome Park
yesterday, as showing that we have hearty,
manly interest in this Anglo-Saxon sport

ANOTHER ACCIDENT OCCURRED yesterday
through the breaking of a rope used in hoist
ing safe at No. 2 Cedar street. This time
man received a compound fracture of the
skull through being struck by the falling
block. Two such accidents within a few
days should direct public attention to the
necessity of providing for severe penalties
and punishment in all similar cases. Any
neglect to make the hosting apparatus en-
tirely safe should be made q criminal offence.

Tm BANK or CALIFORNIA has had the
highest 81 all possible compliments paid

when the bank reopened yesterday the peo-

cannot fail unless the people fail first, and
that il the last Of all things 70 be expected

spondent, and tho event was celebrated with
a. much enthusiasm as if it had been the
glorious Fourth.

The YACHTING CHALLENGES The fall
yachting season has already been rich in In.
terest and novelty, and yesterday the Brook.
Ign Club closed its racing year with a brill
liant regatta The Seawanhaka Club also
spread the canvas of its fine vessels to the
breeze. Bot the season will not end with
these interesting events. As will be seen by
the correspondence published to-day no less
than four challenges have been addressed to
DIR. Rufus Hatch by owners of yachts who
wish to contest races with the Resolute.
These yachts are the schooners Estelle,
Comet (the winner Of the Brooklyn Club re-

missioner, It is said, will not recommend
any particular r'an 81 construction for an
elevated road, but will lay down certain con-
ditions and specifications with which the
constructors will be compelled to conform.
This will probably lead to q combination Of
several plans. in some places the arch, in
others tho upright columns and in others
the cable plan may be the most practicable

Commissioners appears 70 have been wisely
