Ten Brock Beats the Best Time on
Record for Four Miles.

+ LouIsvILLE, September 27.-At

famous Ten Brock make his run
against time. Fellowcraft made four
miles in 1874 at Saratoga iu 7:194.
Since then it has been thought the
time could not be equalled, and up till
to-day it has not. Betting was about
even last evening, but to day, with
clear sky and good track before them

money on the horse, letting strangers
look after time. Add was entered iu

soon took second place and from then
on steadily dropped behind The first
mile was made in very slow time,

stood at the string and excitedly y moved
his hat to go on. The jockey COM
piled, and the second mile was made in
l:459. and third in l:464. At the
commencement Of the fourth mile Add
Was was dozen lengths behind. A
new horse now joined in the race,
running up alongside Ten Brock.
The two salloncd along together a
quar,er of q mile, when Ten Brock
shot forward and was never again
behind the fresh horse AS ne came
down the finish the thousands who
had been as quiet as possible previous
ly, now feeling FeIowcraft's time
would soon be wiped out. gave forth
loud. long and enthusiastic cheers.
The last mile was made in l:l5a, and
the entire distance in 7:15a. or three

Colonel Houston, who is in charge
of the Wisconsin river Improvement,
has just returned from Washington,
where he held consultations with the
federal authorities regarding the work
to be done on the Wisconsin under the
increased appropriation. The sum
voted by Congress for the work in
question was $4,000. The Presi-
dent saw fit to forbid the expenditure
of more than $120,o00 this year. AS
consequence all new work has been
stopped and only the completion Of the
work now in progress will be attempted
this season. It will take the whole
appropriation to finish the rocks and
dams already begun. Colonel Houston
expects that the river will be naviga-
bic by the close of this season for
vessels drawing five feet of water
The appropriation for the harbors of
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha is
but 5000, only enough to keep the
Government property in repair, with
out any margin for new i'm proyemepts.

Two Suits to be Brought Against
Tiiden.

New YORK, Septembe 29.-United
States District Attorney Bliss. of this
city. has received from the Commits
sioner of Of Internal Revenue, a circu-
lar letter requesting him to bring sun
asaip-t persons who have not paid tax
on incomes due the govern h1ent. The
request is intended to cover the whole
period from the time the tax went lnto
effect until the law was repealed. Mr..
Bliss has received from District Attor-
ney Gardner. of Providence, full text
OF the opinion in the suit against Row
land 6 Hazard, in which he govern
ment obtained judgment, although de-
fendant pleaded in bar his payment OF
an income assessment made by an AS
SCISSOR, with added pepa,ty of so per
cent This decision is based on an
opinion in the United States Supreme
Court 10 the case Of the Dollar Savings
Bank against the United States, and
was delivered by United states Judge
Knowles, with the concurrence of As
sociate Justice Miller, OF the United
States Supreme Court. The decision
is regarded by Mr.. Bliss as having an
important bearing in case the proposed
suits against Governor Tilden are
brought to trial. n view Of this de-
cison it is probable that. besides the
suit against MIR. Tilden to recover
taxes for the year 1862. another suit
will be brought Tor taxes on income
amounting to several hundred thousand
for subsequent years in which he was
assessed on an income of $4,000 a
year. 1t was understood that the
Government is still waiting in order to
give Mr.. Tilden an opportunity to
make settlement, and that, in few
days, # nothing is heard from him !,
two suits will be begun at once.
