RATING HOUSES.
No finer display was made anywhere than in
the Refreshment saloons Of Messrs. E. B. Rice
L Co. and VIM. Kates, both Of Middletown.
In each saloon cakes and confectioneries were
displayed in profusion, and the numerous de-
mands Of hungry guests for oysters and ice
cream were answered with alacrity, and in a
style in which each of these gentlemen excels.
TIE RACES. FIRST DAY.
The races were more interesting, on account
Of the nearness with which the horses were
matched than they have been since the first
year of the fair. 1t was also especially gratify-
ing that there seemed to be less of jockeying,
and less Of prior agreement among the horse
men than was manifested last year and, the
year before. Each fellow seemed to be going
on his own hook, and to be 'going in" to
win. The first race was booked as
No. Peninsula colts, years and under

York Bankers havo agree 10 epprore Of Afr.
Co.'s plan for resumption, aud that .
description Of this plan has been forwarded
to tho Secretary Of the Treasury. From
the information ut hand, tho plan ia not
very clear, except in tho general intention
TINT resumption ahn1l 10 accomplished
through tho agency Of kyndicata OF
banks, which slall undertake to furnish the
gold in blocks Of Sc, ,0oo, 900 so long rs the
Government may require it for resumption
purposes. Tho essnnce Of tho plan Hcems to
10 embodied in tho following rar agraph:
Tho banks, undcr thu CoE plan, propose to un!ta.
and pledge themselves to furnish tbs Treasufy
with all tho gold that may be required by tho Gov.
crntncot, from time 10 time. In rcdccuing matur.
Ing bonus aud retiring legaltcndcrs, tho condition
being TINT tho Government shali tssuc to the banks
now United States bonds 10 be bold by tho Treasury
Department Until redeemed. The banka By this
plan to hayc tho privilege Of rcdcetnfng these
bouds either by the payment nf gold coin. Of tho
substitution OF United States bonds Of any Issue. or
lcgal.tenders. Meantime, the National banks
will credit The Treasury Ut tho United States tor
tho whole amount Of tho bends purchasc<l a. gold
deposit subject 10 order.
Wapresume that tho privilege Of furnishing
United States bonds referred TO above means
simply matured bonds, which ulny demand
gold Us well a. greenbaeks, for the Govern
ment could In no wise be assisted in the work
Of resumption by accepting bonds not yet
matured In lieu Of other bonds. To simplify
the matter, II may bo sail that It is proposed
tho banks shall furnish tho gold aud take
the Government bonds, which they roy
retain or ncgotiato in the same manner IS
the Syndicate haa facilitated tho issue Of the
now II and per cent bonds in exchange for
the old g por ceuts. Without knowing the
details OF tho plan, several difficulties suggest
themselves. Tho first IL a doubt whether a
syndicate Of banks eau DO formed that may be
trusted to accumulate The necessary gol.l.
They may encounter very serious
oppoBiuon from the Bank Of En-
gland, II the plan Develops great
draft upon tho gold Of Europe, because
tho Bank Of England may put up its rate Of
discount 10 figure with which they cannot
compute. afr. CoE'a plan, 1t will be OBJ
served, does not include tho remouetization
md utilization OF silver, which would make
this Al we'll as all other schemes for resump.
ton infinitely easier. Nr. Coz admits, too
that resumption means something mora
than provision for tho outstanding 1851, 400,
COO Of grccnbacks. The withdrawal Of
gssenbacka deprives tho banks OF their re-
dcmpsion fund, and throws upon them tho
burden OF redeeming S316, ,000, 600 OF Ma.
tioual Bank notcs in gold, AMI the payment
Of gold on domand for the 1000, ,O0O, 600 OF
