much confusion, a good deal OF rain and sur
prise at the Passaic Fair Grounds. Clifton, N. j.,

gramme, embracing purses for horses trotting

and team contest. In the event for
green horses Henry won the third heat
and 1rst money, Creedmoor taking second pre-
MUM and Mingo third. In the IA purse Josie
captured the second neat, thus crediting her with
two, when Deans Hampletonian was given mis-
head and he won the third. fourth and filth heats
and the race. This was an unexpected turn Of
AFFAIRS, Josie being hot favcrite, the pools aver
aging 8 to 1 IN her favor The Mace party lost
heavily.
The first OF tne regular days events was purse
OF $3.50 for horses trotting nearest to three min
utes. seven started Revenge winning first,
Carrie N. second and Lady Presby third money.
Second the card was the 2:32 race purse Of $780,
Tor which nine came Tor the word. Nellie walton
was q great favorite. Lady Weller won the first
heat, yet Nellie still brought as much as all the
rest She captured the second, third ana fourth
heats without dinculty. In scoring for the second
heat q neavy shower fell, covering he track with
water and making it several inches deep in mud.
Nellie didn't seem 10 care for the heavy going, and
reeled OF the race quite handly. The final event
was a team contest. There were three entries
ana all came to the post. Aleck Patterson's Lady
Burnham and Fourth OF July won 1t, the second
heat being trOtted in the mud, as above stated,

The second race was Tor miniature model OF
the yacht Columbia, for which the same yachts
entered. There was more excitement over this
race than the preceding one, for the owners all
thought they had learned point by their pre-
vIous experience by which they could secure hrst
place. Another feature, TOO, was The placing OF
the winning posts four feet apart at the extreme
end OF the lake and making IL necessary for the
winner to pass between them before the race
could be claimed.

USAGE to which their rae. has been sub

usage to which their race has been sub
jected any longer
Their resentment is natural, but it Is
not from such personal explosions that
we look for the Improvement which Is SO
much needed among the colored people.
The so-called leaders of this race have
taken ipretty good care of themselves,
and are measurably responsible for the
evils which they effect to deplore.
They sustained the administration in
every act, advocated the rings, and help
ed to wage q bitter war against the
people of the south.
They saw the money of their own
race flched before their own eyes at
Washington, without word Of remon-
STRANGE In fact, some of them aided in
that yilliany and after the magnitude OF
that fraud was known, Fred Doug lass
himself sought to soothe its victims by
assurances that have proved ground
less. Even now they have not one word
of personal denunciatlon for the rogues
who stripped the vaults of the Freedmen's
Bank, and are fourishing at the capital.
We have little faith in leaders who are
only quick to resent when the shoe
pinches their own corns. The redemp-
ton OF the colored race from political
bondage is to come in another way, and
they are fortunate in not being depend
ent upen any doubtful assistance. They
will work out the problem themselves.

| communication to the Chicago Tribune.
| have seen several illusions Ike the
! following:
1t Is well known that nobody make,
more delicious corn bread than the ne
gro women down South. One of them
! told an inquiring young lady how she
does it, aud for the beheiit
of our housekeeping readers, we
give the receipt. Says Di-
nah: "Why, darlin' l sometimes gem
| ALLY takes little meal. and sometimes
gen'ally | takes little tlou, an
| kline o mikes EN- up with some hot
water, and ! puts in eggs enough and
little salt an then bnkes it jist bout
enutf. And you do 50, jess 50, an You Il
make it as good rs | do
This one is very pretty expressed,
but nearly all of them heretofore We're
in no wise complimentary to our North
ern cooks. There arc several very I'M
portunt reasons which do not belong to
cookery, why our corn bread connot be
the same as in the South. In the first
place, corn raised under II tropical sun
is much swcctcr than ours. II Is also
very tender. It's sweetness and tender
ness obviate the necessity of fat or butter
for shortening, and any form Of grease
would deprive the corn Of its pure taste.
| No sweet corn is raised i'll the South;
common corn is sweet enough to do away
with that necessity. The corn meal
which Dnah uses is, consequently,
! sweetcr and tenderer than any which
a., at tulr haired
Northern cooks. Then as TO soda, sour
milk and shortening, each one is enough
of itself to destroy the pure taste of corn
meal. But our meal is prepared IN such
| q manner Ms to make all these necessary
| if we would have palatabe food. 1t Is
here ground IN large quantities, and
packed away before it is sufficiently dry.
! Il then sours or becomes bitter from
| long standing. | venture to say That
two, thirds of the meal we have for city
use is slightly sour, if not bitter. we
can cure its sourncss, and some oil the
bitterness, by soda and sugar; but we
cannot the pure taste, even OF Northern
corn meal, by any manner OF means
when it is 50 badly prepared. Corn
cake in the country is superior to any
in the city. The reason is, that the
farmer selects his best corn; takes small
grist to the mill which does job work,
and gets il home fresh and as sweet ms
any corn in the North can be- Dinah ;
corn bread in the North would be no
better than ours, nor half so good.
have ca enough On bread in the South
to know that, with the same ingredients
here Northern cookery would make it
still better.
There are other articles of diet in the
South which deserve the same celebrity
as its corn bread-pork, eggs and chi k
ems. Eggs and chickens are more deli.
cious because they are fef diff 'rently and
so of pork Hogs run wild and feed on
nuts. They are killed while young,
and before they become so grossly fat as
ours. Besides, the fat which Is formed
by the meat of delicious nuts must be
much more palitable than ours: Bacon
and green. is Il tempting dish in the
South; it is not so here. II We hac
tropical materials for cookery, we should
also have tropical cooking.

When Their Corus are Pinclhed.

The y. Y. Sun talks to our colored
brethren thusly:
The utter ruin of the Frcedmen's
Bank, from which nearly three millions
of dollars were stolen by the Washington
Ring, did much to awaken the seventy
thousand poor and betrayed depositors to
the real character of their friends, who
managed the institution Tor their own
profit. More recently, the appropriation
of Howard University by the Consre-
gational Church, and the virtual exc.u-
sion of the colored people from what
they regarded as their peculiar institu-
ton. have reused no small degree of
wrath, and with much reason. Fred
Douglass and Langston have both denoGn
ced this proceeding, and initiated pretty
