purse When the horses called yesterday morn
ing in the latter named event there a fair attend
and the track in quite good condition. The
betting men at once made Hard Road big favorite
selling the pools for much as all the rest The
suit disappointed his hackers, Frenchy went or and
the fourth and fifth heats without difficulty. Hard
Road took second and ST. George third money.
In the team race A. NJ Howes sorrel Kitty

postponement and j. Carroll's sorrel Ellen Mary

Ellen Mary and mate team parted and, OF course they
were then practically out OF the race. After sharp
brush with the Panic team Kitty and mate went

harness Of the Ellen Mary team might have been
avoided by ordinary precauton and their hackers saved
the money invested by them there is not the least
doubt in the world but that this had speed enough
to have become the winnerR
The West Side Park, though once a member, does
not now belong 10 the National Association, and IN

ception of Senator Booth, OF California.
at his native place, Salem. Indiana, he
declined to be interviewed, but respond

welcome in . modest. social and clever
| little speech He thanked him and his
old friends for their kind words of vel
come and congratulations OF welfare.
, He assured them that, though far away,
he had never forgotten the kind and true
friends, of his childhood's home; and
thst he thought OF them often, and al
ways with feelings Of pleasure. He de-
clined public reception. but thanked
them for the honor. He came here TO
mingle freely with his old friends IN a
quiet way. without any display what
ever He was certain that he would ap-
preciafs his visit much more i! left to
enjoy it quietly, than he would in pub
lie way; besides he had nothing to say
10 them, only to thank them heartily for
their kind words of welcome and other
evidences of their pleasure at his re-
turn. After another round OF hand
shaking the citizens took their leave and
allowed their honored guest 10 retire.

AT MEETING Of the Citizens Com
mittee of Virginia, Jrdge Lewis offered
. resolution calling upon the Governor
to convene the Legislature in extra ses-
sion in order to invest the municipal
authorities there with certain powers not
now belonging to them. De Long and
others opposed the suggestion and 1t
was voted down. Although the expense
of an extra session would be very con-
siderable, still we believe we reflect the
sentiments of large majority OF the
people of this State when We say. That
if the converting of the Legislature at
this time would bring about substan-
,ial alienation of the distresses expert
enced in that fre-devssta.ed city, they
would very willingly conssn. to such an
extraordinary proceeding. In other
words, if the Virginians want an extra
session We think it ought to be had.
They must decide the matter among
themselves however. The resources OF
the State, to all reasonable e1tsnts
should be placed at their disposal.

4 PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with o practice a. once
wise and beautiful, We have been aceus-
toned, as the year is drawing to close,
to devote an occasion to the humble e1-
preston of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaselcss and distinguished bere-
fits bestowed upon us as nation. and
for His mercies and protection during
the closing year. Amid the rich and
free endowment of all our advantages We
should not forget the source from which
they are derived and the extent of our
obligations to the Father OF all mercles.
We have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for favors bestowed
upon US during tho past year. BY His
continuing mercy, civil and religious
liberty has been maintained. peace has
rsignsd within our borders, labor and
enterprise have produced their merited
rewards. and to His watchfUl providence
ve are indebted to security from pesti-
ience and other national calamity.
Apart from national blessings, each indi-
vidual among Us has occasion to
thoroughly recall aud deToutly rscog-
nizs the favors and protection which he
has enjoyed.
Now, therefore I, Ulysses S. Grant.
President of the United States, do rec
ommend that on Thursday. the 25th day
of November, the people of the United
States, abstaining from all secular pur-
suits and from their accustomed avoca-
tions, do assemble in their respective
places of worship and in such form a.
may seem most appropriate in their own
hearts, offer to Almighty God their
Observation-Disclosures and fnanEa for ail His
msrcies and their humble prayers for
continuance of His divine favor.
In witness whereof, have hereunso
set my hand and caused the seal OF the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington. this
9th day of October. in the year OF our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-fve. and of the independence OF
the United States the one hundredth.
