SURPRISES are sometimes agreeable, but
not always. For instance, it is not pleasant
to be surprised by the sudden appearance
of bull in china shop. The people Of
New York would not like to be surprised by
the nomination of an unacceptable Mayor
after the Conventions work was done and
could not be remedied.

, Athletic sports at Newport.

Athletic sports ut Newport.
The athletic exercises ct Newport to-day
on the grounds of the Westminster Polo
Club and under the auspices of that asso-
citation promise to be the most interesting
events Of the kind this year. While all the
contestants are amateurs, belonging to the
universities, the professions and the count
ing room, there are many of them scarcely
inferior in physique. skill, training and
achievement to the regular professional
athletes. Many of them possess the
widest regulations for physical excellence,
SO that their competitive performances
will be the very best it ID possible to obtain
outside the professional circles. A day Of
rare excitement and amusement is there
fore in store for Newport, and we have no
doubt that the polo club grounds will be
filed by large and brilliant throng Of
ladies and gentlemen. The programme Of
matches is an excellent one. In all there
are sixteen events. and the entries are so
large that several heats will have to be run
in order to decide the victory. Apart from
the individual excellence of the contestants
the meeting is important, inasmuch as it
goes to show hoy largely athletic sports
and exercises enter into the life and amuse-
ments of the young men of the present
generation. Athletic sports and exercises
have, in fact, become one of the distinctive
features of our modern life, and, tending as
they do to preserve and improve us physi-
caily as a people, they cannot receive too
much support and encouragement.

WALL STREET YEsTERDAY.-The stock market
was active and fluctuating, and closed on de-
cline in leading speculative stocks Govern
ment bonds were dull but strong, States were
quiet, and railways were active and generally
higher. Gold declined to 1OOl2 before noon
aud remained at that throughout. Money on
call was easily obtained at l a l4 per cent,
according to collateral.

Ex-SEcRETARY BOUTWELL, is manfnlly en-
ieavoIipg to show the crime and folly of the
blatant paper money advocates who are en-
deavoring to swindle the workingmen by COM
polling them to take a paper instead of gold
dollar. The distinction between the two he
forcibly points out is that one is dug out of the
earth by hard work while the other is made
with printing press.

The WEATnER.--The pressure continues low
over the Middle Atlantic and New England
States, but is rising rapidly. The area Of low
barometer ia the West has not made any
marked progress during the past twenty-iour
hours. II Il retarded by thr area of high pres

OF high barometer that was over the Gulf dis
tiicts OH Monday in gradually receding to the
southwark. thus giving passage to the West
ERR depression, which will probably move to the
southern extremity of the Allegheny Mountains
and then turn to the northeast. Rain has fallen
on the Middle Atlantic coast, in the Central Val
ley districts and the Northwest. The winds
have been from fresh to brisk in the Northwest;
elsewhere they have been generally light. The
temperature has risen in the central valley dis
tricts and the lake regions. Elsewhere it has
been variable. IL is probable that while the
Western depression is moving toward the coast
stccp gradients will be formed on its eastern
and northeastern margins, aud consequently
high winds may prevail in the Mississippi Valley
before the end of the present wcek. The weather
IN New York and its vicinity to-day will be
cool and fair or partly cloudy, possibly with an
occasional shower. Tomorrow 1t will be cool
aud fair in the early part of the day, followed
by increasing cloudiness aud probably light
rains.
