Steeplechnsing.

The American Jockey Club, acting on
the HERALD's suggestion to increase the
height and breadth of the jumps in all
steeplechases at Jerome Park, have, it
is understood, taken the matter into con-
sideration, and will soon arrange set
of rules to regulate that particular style of
racing. The time test will be ignored, and
Jumping will be the paramount attraction of
the sport in future
The sporting press of this city are dis
cussing the question as to the correct mode
of conducting steeplechasing and nearly all
of them agree with us in advocating an in
crease in the height of stone walls and
hurdles and in the abolition of the time test,
as will be seen from few selections made
from some of the papers, which are pub
lished in another column. The Netc York
Sportsman is alone in its objections, and Is
afraid that higher obstacles than are now in
vogue would be dangerous on account of the
great numbers that have to be gone over,
and that 'they wire in and out and
around about" and it urges that "a
good, wide stretchaway should be secured"
|
racecourses, instead of having the race int
side the field in front of the grand stands.
This kind of argument does not seem ten
able for the reason that, should the jumping
be taken out of sight of the people in the
grand stands and club houses, there would
be no use in having these races. The charm
of steeplechasing is in the jumps, and the
closer these are to the spectators the better (;
and there certainly are not too many of them
at Jerome Park if the speed of the horses is
properly regulated and bottled up for the
final half-mile run home on q clear track
after all the jumping is over. We hope the
owners of all the large racing stables through
out the country will add few steeplechasers
to their present strings, and give notice to
the American Jockey Club that they will be
ready to make entries for all stakes that NAV

Our London Cable Letter.

1t will be seen from our cable dispatches
that the great London public is casting an
eye upon what rarely troubles it now-the
royal family. The fact is that matters royal
roll so smoothly over there and in an ever
contracting circle that it requires remarkable
exertion to get up popular excitement about
them. Even in Prince Albert's time Queen
Victoria did not keep a very ostentatious
Court, and since his death-that is, for fif-
teen years past-she has kept no Court at all,
except by deputy. Hence has arisen great
grumbling from John Bull. The low
wits have taken liberty with the Queens
good name the Regent street tradesmen
have shouted ''parsimony )" the aristocracy
who have money to spend in display and
daughters they wish to see shine at Court
whisper ''abdication or a return to public
life" The mob which loves shows and
parades would echo this if it was well above
whisper, and even vulgar book like
Edward VII is likely to catch the public
ear A sketch of this work will be found in
our cable letter. and if it had nothing
more improbable in it than q special HERALD
iron-clad it might be taken as a prophecy.
AS an offset to whether or not
the Queen will open Parliament we are
told that the impossible DR.. Kenealy is going
down to St Stephens with procession of his
magma chartists-a very spurious kind of de-
mocracy. We learn, also, that the Episco-
palian clergymen are wroth at the Privy
Council allowing even Wesleyan minister
to call himself reverend, and that the Lord
Mayor of London has entered on a Third Com
mandment crusade, which, if successful, will
reduce the Cockney vocabulary by stout
three-fourths. We are sorry to learn that
the Universities are not likely to send crews
to the International College Regatta, but we
hope to see some of them, as promised, at

mark" contradictory as the phrase in pho
netic reading would appear Men, women
and children we believe to be of more
account in this world than horses, dogs and
'such small cattle !" but if the law has left
car-travelling humanity no protection, save in
so far as cruelty to them involves cruelty to
the beasts that drag them, then shall we
storm high heaven with applause of the
sagacious Mr.. Bergh who has discovered
that fact. Thus does the good survive and
multiply. When our Legislators at Albany,
out of pure benignity for the lower links in
the Darwinian chain of animals, enacted
laws empowering Mr.. Bergh to prevent
cruelty to animals, they did not fore
see that these godlike acts would
become an engine for the protec-
ton of men, women and children. When
st. Martin of Tours divided his cloak with
the Mr.. Bergh of the period, he did not fore
see that the piece of cloth would be the
means of saving his soul When the time of
need came the saint, who had forgotten the
gift, found it outbalancing his own short
comings. Honor, then, to Mr.. Bergh. Away
with all breathings of despotism and
tyranny. We go to Albany, indeed, to have
his e-than-ever-usefu society abolished
and Mr. Bergh immured in Third avenue
car for life-not bit of it On the contrary,
if Mr.. Bergh does as he says, we shall pat
him on the back, and say, ''Well done, thou
good and faithful servant" On the contrary,
we might even advocate a statue to him in
front of the HERALD building-not an eques-
trian statue as ordinarily understood, but
one with Third avenue horse on the shoul-
ders of Mr.. Bergh (not by any means Mr..
Bergh on the horse), while a number of
s'gyros" revolved after the fashion of an au-
reole around the affecting group. No, Mr..
Bergh; your action would be deserving of all
praise. 1t would teach as loud as the neigh
of warhorse that goad is better than good.
and it would inform the people and their
Legislators that they can help you in your
kindly work by giving us a law compelling
the horse car companies to give the travel
ling public seat for fare. Elsewhere our
friend Mr.. Berghs remarkable letter will be
found.

Our New Busines. Centre.

Among the needs of a great city none Is
palmer than the necessity of stability in
business localities. For years the trade of
New York has been seeking special centres,
but the growth of the metropolis has COM
PEELED change in these in every decade.
Now, however, every class of business, as we
pointed out the other day, is finding its true
and permanent home, of which there is no
clearer evidence than the changes effected
by the erection of the new Post Office. It
is only few months since that magnificent
structure came into the occupancy of the
postal authorities, and already the neigh
borhood is becoming the financial centre of
New York In addition to the banking
houses and insurance companies which have
offices in this locality we hear that others are
seeking sites in the adjacent streets, and a
very few years will effect a complete trans
formation in this respect. 1t is only natural
that this result should follow the change of
the Post Office from Nassau street to Broad
way and Park row. In London the Post
Office is the money centre of the British
metropolis, and it always was so in this city
The change from the rickety old building so
long occupied by our Postmaster and his
assistants to the splendid edifice in the City
Hall Park left the banking and insurance
business behind but change in the loca-
ton of the latter is now inevitable and will be
for the better. Broadway and all of the lat
eral streets in the vicinity of the City Hall
are admirably adapted to business of this
nature, and even Chatham and Centre streets
and the reeking filthy section of the city
west of the Bowery, of which the Five Points
is the CENTRE may be transformed by this
great and necessary change. From East to
West Broadway and from Canal to Wall
street is the future money centre of New
York. This district thus used will give US
new and beautiful city, and as the rapid
transit roads are to converge in the vicinity
of the Post Office and the New York ter
minus of the Brooklyn Bridge is to be in the
same neighborhood, it will be as accessible
as it is specially adapted to the purpose. No
city in the world can boast more admirable
money centre, and as the change is inevita-
BILE we commend the subject to the careful
attention and study of our business men, that
the new city which is to rise in this locality
may be built wisely and well.

was when it struck down every Tam
many nominee on the county ticket,
despite the personal respectability
of the candidates. There is as much
need of the expulsion of Tammany
influence from the municipal government to-
day as there was when the Recorders court
and the District Attorneys Office were pro-
tected by the barrier of the ballot box against
the assault of the Tammany ward commit
tees. A spring election is needed to COM
plete the good work commenced last No
vember. Why should the republican wing
OF the united army withdraw from the con-
test? Are the people of New York any bet
ter pleased with Tammany rule now than
they were three months ago? We believe
not. No reason existed last November why
a spring oharterelection should be favored
by the people that does not exist to-day. AS
the proposed change in the law would Sc
cure city government independent of Tam
many influence and free from partisanship
it is not wise to hamper it with other pro-
visions. Let the anti-Tammany organiza-
ton concentrate its powers on this one point,
and other reforms will follow in its train.
The first object of the anti-Tammany lead
ers should be to insure success in this, and
earnestness, vigilance and irmness will give
them the victory now as it gave them the
victory in November and it will secure
their triumph in the spring election. There
could be no doubt of the result of the
charter contest with Andrew II. Green or
Charles A. Dana as the peoples candidate
for Mayor. The former would draw to the
popular banner all the solid business and
financial interests of the city and all the
intelligent workingmen who have learned
that the lawless gains of corrupt rulers come
out of the pockets of the poor as well as of
the rich. Mr.. Danas name would be a atower
of strength He would command support as
the Bayard of reform, and withal would ex-
cite an enthusiasm among the young men of
the city which would inspirit the campaign.

Our Paris Cable Letter.

Paris is busy with balls parties and cleo
tons, and it is not wonderful amid so much
life that it turned aside to go to a funeral.
1t was eminently fitting that Victor Hugo,
the high priest of the romantic school, should
pronounce the eulogy over one who so
splendidly illustrated it on the stage as did
Frederic Lemaitre in his palmy days. Those
who have seen the great old actor mumbling
painfully within the past eight years could
just catch a glimmer of the genius that
flashed from him when young Victor Hugo
was making his fight with the classicists. 1t
was just like Paris, too, that political turn
should be given to the solemn occasion by
cheering Victor Hugo, the radical, when they
should have let Victor Hugo, the pallbearer,
pass by in silence. But then the Prefect of
Police has forbidden public meetings, and
Paris must uncork its ebullience in some
manner or overturn the government in the
attempt 1t is somewhat Parisian, also, to
see all the political parties rejoicing before
hand over victories which are yet to be won,
and out of the fights from which some of
the parties must come discounted. In Eng
land both parties would celebrate after the
fight, for defeat is better than no excuse
for dinner, and John Bull must have q
dinner on every occasion. In America the
rejoicings only 60 with the spoils. We have
few choice theatrical items from the gay
capital, and one from Vienna which will set
the manager of the Bowery Theatre in a
frenzy OF envy. They have dramatized
