Fashionable English Dances aud
Dancers.

Prior to the introduction OF the waltz

arrived in England so nearly together
that there il some difficulty in deciding

dances at Almack's had been confined to
the old English country dance, cotlilions,
Scotch steps, and an occasional Highland
reel, the orchestra being from Edinburgh,
and conducted by the then celebrated
Neil Cow. The graceful minuet, and
the more vivacieus gavotte had already,
it would seem, disappeared from the ball
programme.

Louisville Courier journal, Sept. y.
The great race yesterday Of Ten Br0eck
against time wilt in all probability not
be cqualcd for many year to come.
Not only was the time Of Lexington and
FeIlowcraft beaten by several seconds in
the wonderful time Of seven minutes
lj4 seconds, but Ten Brocck surpassed
his own former time, and that of all
other horses, on the fractional parts of
his distance, excepting, Of course, the
first mile. The first mile might have
been run faster, and the total time pro.
portionately reduced. II was intended
that it should he made in Lao, but the
rider managed his horse cautiously, and
brought him round in 1929, ard the re-
maindcr of the distance was therefore
made in less time than had been calcu-
lated upon by Mr.. Harper. The second
mile was made in l:.I54 and the third in
l:46i, making together 3:32 the fastest
two-milc time on record. The fourth
mile was made in l:50}, making the last
three miles in j:23; which is 81 seconds
faster than Tsn Broeck's three miles on
Saturday, which was itself ! seconds
better than any time ever made before.
AS to other pointsoI comparison between
Ten Brock and his illustrious grand
sire, it must be remembered that Ten
Brock is four years old and carried one
hundred and four pounds weight, while
Lexington was at the time Of his famous
race five years old and carried one hun
drcd and one pounds. Ten Broecks
avera!c in four miles, made in 7:l5}, was
one mile in los 1916 seconds, which is
at the rate of about thirty-three miles
per hour. Those who have noticed the
fences and trees dash past them as they
are whirlcd along on the lightning rx-
prt.,a train, can form some idea of the
tremendous pace at which this noble
animal passed over the course. Yet,
notwithstanding this great speed and the
effort necessary to keep it up for such a
distance, Ten Brock came down the
homc-stretch and under the string with
out anyover-eeort, and aitcrward walked
about without any signs Of distress
The knowing ones we're very confident
many, indeed, SO confident that they
backed their Judgment by three to one
that Ten Broeck could not beat the time
against which he ian. The management
Of the race, well as the merits of the
horse, came into his calculation, but in
both grounds of Judgment they made a
serious mistake, which they are now
doubtless repenting The management
was entrusted to Mr.. Lewis Clark, the
president of the jockey club, and his
arrangements were admirable, and served
in no small degree to Gsmre the favorable
opportunity which the splendid animal
only needed to place himself foremost in

In Londcn his special work is among the
foreigners, whosgo there as fugitivcs from
justice, 1t is generally found that such
persons betake themselves to special To-
caIites. Usually they lie hiding for Il
lew days, but they soon find it impoSSi-
bic to remain indoors any longer; and
50, having shaved off their boards, if
they had one, or putting on n false
beard if they had formerly shaved, and
wearing wig and spectacles, they sally
forth at night, and, being in want of
amusement, they betake themselves TO
the Alhambra. That is a favorte resort
of foreigners in London, and Drusko-

the audience, follows him when he
leaves, tracks him to his hiding place,
aud then sets to work to find out who he
is. Woe to the man who really is n
criminal if Druskowitz be on his trail.
There is little chance for him. Drusko-
witt has an extraordinary moral in
nucncc over criminals; it is something
like that of the rattIesnake upon bird.
He carries no arms, yet he does not fear
to 90 up to an armed and desperate man
and arrest him ard, though armed and
desperate, he succumbs. DrEskowtz was
engaged nine years ago in a remarkable
case. In 1866 Vital DOuat, Bordeaux
wine merchant, went TO Paris and insured
his lite for 4 sum equal to $4,000.
Shortly atterward he went to London in
order to escape the consequences Of
fraudulent bankruptcy. Some time
later his wife clad in widows weeds,
presented herself at the insurance Office
with the necessary legal documents at
testing her husband death. There was
nothing suspicious in the papers, Never
thelcss, the company determined to
make some inquiries before handing over
the amount OF insurance. Druskowltz
was called in and he ascertaned that on
December |, 1866, some one named Ber-
nandl had called at the register $ Office in
Plalstow and registered the death OF
Douat, and 1t was entered as due to
