New YORK, April 2S.-The Sun has
the following marvellous tale which has
been told of the endurance OF native
horses OF California, but their speed and
bottom has not often been put on record
az a sportmanship: Not long ago two
we'll known sporting men of this city
made u bet of $4,000 on time against
$50, 600, on horses, against their ability
to maintain speed of twenty-five miles
per hour and by thirty-six relays to run
over the country road from New York to
Buffalo and back, say 900 miles in thirty
hours. The thirty-six horses selected
arrived in this city this week, having
borne the fatigue of ten days in the cars
so we'll that their riders say they could
have been put to trial within two days.
They were sent to pasture in NeY Jersey
and the grand trial is soon to be made.
What is most remarkable in this match
is the circumstance that the animals are
to carry the fifty pound saddle of the
Pacific Slope and jockeys who are not
selected on account Of their light weight.
In fact. it is o temporary revival of the
pony express.
Samuel Hirsch. a wealthy Hebrew
lawyer, was drowned yesterday. II is re-
ported that he committed suicide.
Vanderbilt was much better yesterday.
He smoked a cigar, talked cheerfully and
slept we'll the night before. The pain is
much aileviated. His disease is compli-
Gated but he is out Of immediate danger.
High tides occurred to-day. On Coney
Island many bathing-houses were washed
away.
The Suns Washington special says
that Davenport in his testimony to-day
was unable to account for the public
money given him by the President. He
had also to admit that his expenditures
were unauthorized by any law and thai
be had without warrant of the law con.
tracted debts which he afterwards per
suaded the President to order public
money to be given to him in order thai
he might liquidate them.
A Times editorial, speaking of the scar
: oityof small change, says the simplest rem
9 edy would be to issue say ten million Of
} silver dollars in exchange for greenbacks
l and to cancel greenbackS. The advan
8 tage of distributing silver dimes, quarter
and half dollars to people through thu
9 holes of paper box is not obvious to us
i It should be made as easy az possible TO
9 banks and individuals to obtain silver il
l exchange for their fractional currency
Z But the fact is that needless obstacle
Q are opposed to all sides, and the conse
9 quence is that silver change is already q
y premium of three cents for greenbacks
