About three hundred gentleman from

fully and properly understood the
object Of the meeting, Others thought
that they had met to consider Bristow's

Forty years ago, the lovers and devotees
Of the turf were more numerous and en-
thusiastic, comparatively, than they are at
this late day, considering H. wealth and
population Of our country, as compared to
the times almost half a century ago. When
Grey Eagle and Wagner made their
famous race over the OLD Oakland course,
racing was looked upon in this country, with
as much delight as ever the fox chase was
in "Merrie old England" century since.
Times have changed, and men and women
have changed with il. Whether or not, the
presence Of women on race course adds
interest to the scenes, Is now a disputed
question. Moralists would disoountenanee

As the Senate and House are at a
considerable variance over many po-
litical questions, it is thought that
Congress will not adjourn until late in
the Summer. 1t is Furthermore said
that even though they were in entire
accord, it would require until the mid
die of July TO finish up the business
which has already begun. The New
York Sun says "the Senate has moi
acted on a single appropriation bill
passed by the House. and all Of then
are in the hands Of their Conference
Committees, who are doing simply
nothing" And this, too, while thous
ands of dollars of the peoples money
are being expended. The Radical
Senate alone is to blame for this pro
crastination and revengeful delay.
