The spring Races.

The untoward weather which threw our
Centennial back in Philadelphia has re-
Tented, and if we are favored with the skies
which have blessed us for the past few days
we may hope for brilliant opening day at
Jerome Park on Saturday. Tho spring
meeting at Jerome Park is becoming as much
of a social event in New York. and, indeed,
all over the country wherever any interest
is felt in manly sports and achievements as
tho Derby day in England. We note more
than the usual interest in our Jerome Park.
This may be attributed partly to the fact
tint our people begin to care more and more
for outdoor games. We read every day of
sailing matches, of games of cricket and
base ball. All the standard, weN known
show enterprise even in our enjoyments by
the avidity with which we introduce the
games md customs of our friends across the
sea. Colonel Kane, with his Pelham coach,
has given rs new opportunity for enjoying
life. While it may be small thing in its way,
as a mere event or circumstance, for private
gentleman to drive coach to Pelham and
back daily, it is in truth an important fact
It directs the minds of the people to new
sources of amusement 1t shows them pos
sibilities in the green fields and the open
air The example Of Colonel Kane will be-
come n custom in time, and We have no
doubt we shall soon have coaches on nearly
oil Of tho roads which run through the
environs of the metropolis
But the royal sport is the turf There the
man and the horse seem to unite to show
their best powers. Much is said, and Justly,
against the turf, and every now and then
we hear of movements to abolish it or render
it unpopular. We can understand how tho
turf can be abused, and nothing would rejoice
us more than to see it reformed. But this
will have to be in another world than that Of
Homer and Shakespeare before the heart of
man can beat calmly at the sight of dozen
shining mettlesome steeds, fire in their eyes
and lightning in their TANKS, straining for
the winning pole. The turf has survived all
the assaults made upon it because it is the
amusement which embodies the best part Of
our human nature. All we can expect from
its patrons--from men like the late Lord
Derby and Lord Palmerston, in England-is
that they shall repress all tendencies to turn
it into gambling den. This is what the
noblemen and gentlemen in England have
always tried to do. This is what Mr..
Jerome and the gentlemen associated with
him in the park which New York owes to his
foresight and liberality, and which bears his
nane, have done for the turf in New York.
We trust that the spring meeting will be
crowned with success

RADICAL REPUBLICANS are asked to vote for
Mr.. Blaine as the republican candidate for
the Presidency because he made speech in
reply to Ben Hill comparing Jefferson Davis
to the Duke of Alva. But they should
not forget the wonderful speech of Mr..
Conkling on the Louisiana question, which
was just as radical as that of Mr.. Blaine and
far more eloquent. The difference between
the two is that Blaine made his speech ia
win votes, at time when there was no ques.
ton before the House requiring it. Conk.
ling made his speech in defence Of General
Grant and General Sheridan, and at time
when it required courage to say anything
at all.

The SALoNrcA MuEDKREns and rioters
are meeting the reward of their fanatical
thirst for blood at the hands of the Turkish
authorities The Forte feels convinced that
by exhibiting desire to make ample repa-
ration for this murderous outrage on two
unoffending representatives of friendly
Powers, the details of which are furnished
by our correspondent and published in to-
days HEnknD, . stay of proceedings will
be obtained, during the tendency of
which it may be able to suppress
the Herzegovinan insurgents. After such
triumph the Sultan would secure a
new lease of life as European monarch.
and, being the ward of the great Pow
ers, might rely on their jealousies creating
the best security he can obtain against the
internal or foreign dangers that menace him.
We believe, however, that the ii al wave
that is TO sweep the Turk from Europe is
already rolling swiftly toward Constantine
pie, and that the end is near at hand.

REMARKABLE CONDITIONS or TEMPERATURE
exist over the United States which give the
extreme Northwest much greater degree Of
warmth than that indicated for Southern
points. On Saturday st. Marks, Fla, and
Marquette, Mich, had tho same temper
lture (seventy-one dcgrees), while Duluth,
Minn.. was six degrees warmer than vicks-
burg. Miss. These thermal conditions are
favorable for the development of severe
thunder storms in the Northwest rs well as
those terrific tornadoes that uproot trees and
demolish substantial buildings. The West
ern States and the lake regions are now ex-
periencing barometric fall which always
accompanies high temperatures. We may
therefore look for a change of weather during
the coming twenty-four hours which will be
marked by local storms in the Middle md
New England States.

THROWING FIEEBEANDs.-T democratic
papers should not be SO sensitive in refer
encc to the stories about Speaker Kerr and
the cadetship. OF course no one thinks
That the Speaker had anything to do with
this or any transaction of dishononble
character. But our democratic friends
should remember that this is q season Of
defamation and Investigation" and that
character counts for nothing, except to in
lensify the zeal of the investigators and give
point to the imagination Of the slanderers.
The democrats have availed themselves Of
this disposition on the part Of the people for
the good Of their party" They should not
complain now. In campaign o. hreorands
il is not in human nature to expect tho
brands to fall alvays on one side

The EXCISE FARCE was acted again yes
terday in New York, and proved, SO far as
preventing the sale of beer and other liquors
is concerned, complete failure. Several
arrests were made. but the prisoners were
put under bail for one hundred dollars and
allowed to return to their stores and carry
on business as usual. The uptown beer
gardens were nominally closed, but in
reality did as large business as on any pre-
vious Sunday.

LACROSSE has afforded much popular
amusement in Ireland, the Canadian and
Iroquois teams having played several well
contested matches in that country. In Dub
lin, to which city the teams have paid
second visit, three games were played re.
GENTLY, which evoked unbounded applause.
from the wonderful activity and address dis
played by the contestants. The visit of the
lacrosse players to Ireland has been
marked by general revival Of field sports.
The snowshoe hurdle race between men,
bers of the Canadian teams formed an excit-
ing as well as novel feature of the pro-
gramme and was a revelation to the citizens
of Dublin. The reception of the strangers
in Ireland was of the most cordial charac-
ter, being in some degree similar to that &C
corded to the American rife team last year.

THE ASSAULTS on Mr. BLAINE in connec-
hon with his railroad investments might be
said to come from his friends They are
managed with shrewdness and thus far have
done him more good than harm. These
managers are counting upon the generosity
and fair play of the American people, who,
whatever the politicians do, never like foul
play or hitting below the belt. IF MIR. Blaine
is nominated he will owe the honor to the
men who have been trying to destroy him.

The shooting at Creedmoor on Saturday in
the Leech Cup match gives rs every encour-
agement to hope that our rifemen will sus-
tain their past record in the coming Centen-
NAL match. The shooting of the eight marks
men who head the list on Saturday is, taken
together, the best that has been recorded
anywhere, although the highest individual
score, that of Judge Gildersleeve-n namely,
204 points out of possible 225-
has been bettered by seven points
in the recent practice Of the Irish rifemen.
With eight such men working together and
assisting each other better average could
possibly be attained, and this leads us to
believe that, although we shall have the
highest skill to contend against, its sustained
exhibition will be required to beat our rife
men. This is oil that we could wish, and
we can, under such circumstances,
fairly leave the result to fortune. The
pleasantest feature of Saturdays con-
test is that it brings the names
of several of our younger rifemen to
the front. While Gildersleeve is first and
Sanford Zone of the reserves of the IA team)
second, and the names of Fulton, Dakin.
Coleman and Yale appear high up, we find
Farwell and Overbaugh among the first
eight, and Raymond and Washburne ninth
and tenth on the list. Homer mods some.
times, and Bodine, who was not in good
shooting trim, is fifteenth; but the vet
eran will find some pleasure in seeing
how calamity the young shots sus-
tanned the honor of American shooting
in this preliminary brush before the
actual competition for places on the team
begins. Those unacquainted with the facts
can scarcely realize the advance in American
long-rangc rifle shooting which the match
Of Saturday indicates, for few can realize
how absolutely unsupported by reliable
shots were the band that won the interna-
tional match at Creedmoor in 1874, and what
few additions wero made to them when the
time arrived for selecting the team that was
afterward victorious at Dollymount.

THE THEosorHIo FUNERAL at the Masonic
Temple yesterday was, AS we expected,
compromise, and exhibited wishy-washy
paganism suggestive of the manned rites"
given to poor Ophelia 1t is too painful
subject to jest upon, but we fear Colonel
Olcott and his six assistants in long clothes
presented too much for the gravity of the
spectators. The public must deal gently

A CORRESPONDENT suggests that an expedi-

England to pay the widows and orphans
who were robbed of five millions of dollars

accredited financial agent of the American

The sermons Yesterday.

Delightful weather, such as New York and
its sister cities enjoyed yesterday, lends its
balmy influence to religion, and Sabbath
standing like budding maiden between
spring and summer gives to every preacher
an opportunity to catch his hearers hearts
that should not be neglected. Accord
ingly, we find that some of our divines
laid their sweetest posies of Christian
thought before their congregations, and the
rapture that is caught up to the soul through
the perfume Of the first violet was paralleled
in the religious experience of thousands
yesterday. A sermon breathing such sweet
thoughts was preached by young Presby-
terrain clergyman, Mr.. Moment, at the
Spring street church yesterday, in which he
elaborated the comparison Of tho life Of the
righteous to the palm tree as sung by the
psalmist. 10 look kindly on the efforts
of young toilers in the vineyard is
duty too often neglected by the
elders, but the net is its own reward.
Father O'Hare, discoursing on the intense
love Of tho Almighty for man, at the Catholic
Cathedral, evidently felt the influence Of the
sense when the flowers raise their heads to
tho smiling heavens. 1t was perhaps little
disappointing to find Mr. Beecher forsake
the fowery track which he loves SO well to
tread between the antagonisms of Greek
and Hebrew religious reasoning, Still, his
anxious question, whether what is called the
fruit of civilization is not growing the animal
man great deal faster and stronger than the
spiritual man." is worthy of thought. Mr..
rockingham gave his hear rs a fine discourse
on the golden rule, and other preachers Mt
tered good things, for which we must refer
the Christian reader to the reports elsewhere.
Tho corner stone ceremony at tho Roman
Catholic Church Of ST. Agnes was very beau
tiful and suggestive of tho untiring energy
OF the pastors Of that faith.
The REAL STRENGTH of Roscoe Conkling,
rs the republican candidate for the Presi-
dcncy, consists in the fact that he represents
the courage and the conscience of the party.
His friends have no need to defend him or
to explain his career. He represents in poll
tics the same unconditional surrender prin-
ciple which Grant represented in war.
