Indications thar the attire a flair
Was Sell

| From the \ w fork Times-l
Perhaps there never has been perpetrated
In New York a more thorough swindle than
the mustang race against time which came
OIL at Fleetwood yesterday. The conditions
OF the race were that one man should ride
| thirty mustang horses, recently imported
from California, 800 miles in fifteen hours
and the managers of the race announced
that the stakes were the largest ever Wa
gered on any turf match. They said the
match grew out of bit between two wealthy
New York gentlemen, the one wagering
$25,OOO that the horses could accomplish
the heat. and the other wagering $4,000
against the horses and in favor Of time. On
Tuesday, the day originally appointed for
the race, hundreds of people visited Fleet
wood, not knowing that the race had been
postponed. Yesterday, Notwithstanding the
extremely unpleasant weather and the rain
there were probably 10000 people at the
park, many of whom had4come, at consider
able expense, to witness the race 1t seems
to be beyond doubt that the race was not
run in good faith There is no evidence
to substantiate the statement that $40, 900
was at stake upon the issue of the race and
it is generally believed by those who inves-
tigated the matter that the only money that
changed hands was the $l0,0 900 paid in adj
mission fees. The race-or rather -exhibi-
ton, for it is only that-began at the APP
pointed hour yesterday and ended at 1925
o clock i'll the afternoon, the jockey, George
Parker, breaking down at the end of his
226th mile. Against Parker there is no
charge of trickery. He evidently believed
that the race was bona iide affair and he
did his work conscientiously He rode hard
and honestly, and worked himself completely
out in his effort to ride the 800 miles. He
was abused by being made to believe that
he was riding genuine race, but he also
suffered for lack of proper treatment during
his severe ride. There was no physician in
attendance, nor even an intelligent sporting
man to manage him. 1t was owing 10 n lack
of proper Hourishment and to the fact that
he was allowed to ride almost the entire day
in one direction, THAT he at length gave out,
and fell upon the floor of the judges stand,
blind with dizziness. There is no doubt
that the horses could have made the 800
miles in fifteen hours with relays of riders,
although their best running speed is not
equal to New York trotting time. The con
dftion requiring that one man should do the
riding made the race II trial of his powers of
endurance, "A trial that was not only brutal,
but one which could in no event be produc-
tive of any conceivable good. There were
100 relays of horses during the day. The
best time made was a mile in 2: 20. Fifty
miles were run in 2 hours, - minutes 100
miles in hours, fl minutes 100 miles in z
hours 10 minutes 201 miles in 10 hours, 6
minutes, and the entire distance run, 226
miles, in II hours, % minutes.

NIachinerY Hall.

A brief tour made through Machinery
Hall on Saturday, gave evidence that large
proportion Of the visitors to the Exhibition
Grounds understand the valuable and inter
esting character made in that building, and
that they have eyes for the instrumentalites,
and the processes which have given such II
large impulse to the productions upon which
civilization in our age depends to 50 great a
degree. Wherever the machinery was in mo-
ton doing its work-or wherever it was en-
ployed in making thtngs-there were groups
of strongly interested spectators, eager to see
how the machinery accOmplshes the purpose
for which it is devised, and how everything
is done. This was manifest by a glance at
the surroundings from that splendid triumph
of skill, the grand engine of Mr.. Corliss, to
the delicate mechanism of the Waltham
Watch Factory in the close vicinity of the
ponderous cog wheel gearing of the mighty
Corliss engine itself The jacquard looms
that were at work weaving embroidered silk
ribbons, and the looms producing danask
fabrics, and handsome figured carpets, were
all closely surrounded by spectators, some
intently gazing on the'interesting operations,
Others going as their curiosity was grqtitied,
and still others moving in tG occupy the
places momentariiy vacated. The same WAS
the case with the matchmaking machinery,
the Keeling andspooling ofsilk, the wonderful
ly compact ana delIcate pln-maklng machines
where coil of wire enters at one point and
comes out finished pins at another; the
spooling of the famous Coats cotton thread,
and the letter envelope machine, whore reel
of paper at one end of the apparatus emerges
at the other in the form of complete envel-
opes ready for use, the machine not only
making them, but counting the amount of
work it has done. These and scores of other
Interesting operations By machinery were
noticed in a brief turn for couple of hours
along few of the side passages IN Machine.
~ Hall. The numbers of Spectators obserY-
ing them show that large numbers Of peolia
obects dstd ST them i n their ee cry life

cation of quite as high an order as comes
from looking at the beautiful and brilliant
objects exhibited in the Main Building and
in the Art Galleries.

OfIehVille 1ImeSI
We herewith pgbIt>i, a hist of the appro-
pratiGr,s OF the recent Legislature, for the
expenses of the State Government for the
year 1876.
The great reduction of expenses of gov

is incontrovertible evidence to the uaopIe
of the redemption by the LeaisIature of Its
pledges Of retrencbn,eRt and reform. The
yaElG4s AMOUNTS appropriated foot up some
what less than 100000 Being about $500
600 less than the appropriations of the Rad
zeal Legislature of 1875. Can any further

This appropriation act does not comprise
more than 1.-THE of the material reform of

Female Appointments.

Gov. Tilden's excellent appointment Of
Mrs Charles Russell Lowell as State Conn
missioner of Charities calls out this pleasant
comment p from the Potter Journal e S.%
woman State official SINCE 1867, al a salary
of 81 900 per annum and all expenses paid.
Mrs Z. +. Hutter, of Philadelphia, has been
Female Inspector of the Soldiers Orphan
Schools for that period, and we have no
doubt has been ofgreat service to the orphan
daughters of the State. There are many
other positions women could fill to adyan-
tage, and we trust Mrs. Lowell will discharge
the duties of her Office so acceptably that
the next Governor of New York will appoint
her to an Office to which there is a salary
attached, for the world does moYs."
