EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The race against
time which is to come off to-day at
Fleetwood Park, will no doubt be wit
messed by large concourse of spec
tators. Geo. Parker, of Visalia, aged
26. weight IT'S pounds, will essay to
ride 305 miles to-day within Is hours on
80 horses, he will start at "A. m. and
will, barring accidents, complete his
ride at p. m. Should he be disabled
by falling of the horse, the race will be
lost and the stake. 1926, 900 against $l5,-
600, will go to those with whom the
wager is made. The horses are all in
good condition and parties in charge
are confident of success. As the horses
are wild, the men in charge will mount
and ride all who show any signs Of un-
ruleness SO that in the race they will be
docile and not give him any trouble.
The Times Washington special says,
the passage by the House to-day of a
resolution demanding that the Secretary
of Treasury transmit all correspondence
concerning the whisky trials, was the
result of false ruling by speaker pro
tenn Cox. which he afterwards confessed.
1t could not bs passed to-day without a
two-third vote. The result of this re-
solution will be very bad as the trials
are still pending and makes public
many things which ought to be kept
private.
The Herald's Washington says that
Blaine's friends are jubilant because he
is completely exonerated. This does
not end Blaine's troubles however.
There is another vague charge, that he
was given land grant bonds OF Kittle
Rock road to influence the making uE
of the House Committee in 1872 while
speaker, but the committee very proper
ly declined to hear the testimony.

CINCINNATI, May 16.-The Democrat
