The Stand nj Newmarket.


The stand is, as usual, divided into
three portions-one for members of the
Jockey Club, the second, Tattersalls, and
the third for the general public. The
two last named are generally full, as all
the principal book-makers assemble here.
There is comparative quiet until the
numbers for the first race are put up.
The only noise to be remarked is the
voice of some book-makcr offering to bet
on some big race to come; but suddenly
peculiar creaking is heard, and frame
rises above the building next to the
trainers stand, with the numbers Of the
horses starting, and the names of jockeys.
There is then dead silence for min
ute or so, while people are making their
cards, and next perfect storm of '4
to |, bar one" rises from the ring, deaf
ening and utterly bewildering the novice.
This storm lasts, if il is not heavy bet
ting race, not only until the horses are at
the post, but even after they are running,
and some insane individuals actually offer
to bet AS to what horse has won after they
have passed the post. But If there has
been heavy betting, a dead silence is
maintained in the ring from the time the
horses get to the starter until they have
passed the post; this was most remarkably
illustrated on the last Cambridgeshire
day. From the time the horses got to
the starting-post until the race was fin
ished, though there was delay of three
quarters of an hour, owing to some of
the horses repeatedly breaking away not
a sound was heard in the ring; the silence
was almost oppressive.
Sometimes, when complete outsider
wins, whose name has never been written
down by the book makers, the more ex.
citable of them threw up their hats and
cheer loudly; but as Il body they are a
most impassive set of men, and you
could never tell by their faces whether
they had lost or won. Very curious are
they in another way: they never seem to
and l suppose really do not, care bit
about the horses themselves, many of
them not even looking at them when
they are running, merely glancing at the
winning numbers when put up. They
do not appear to be guided in their bets
by any regard to the condition of the
horses. state or length of the course OF
their previous performances, but on what
they imagine to be the intentions of the
stable to which they belong; and some
times they seem to suppose that certain
horses take it in turns to win, and back
them accordingly,.qu independently
of the condition of the horse itself.

WHAT SHALL HE DO WITH 1T,

A very excellent clergyman in Kala-
nazoo, Michigan, is suffering great per-
plexity of mind and is in spiritual diff
Guilty and in a wrestling condition, so to
speak, between the desire to supply the
wants of the poor of his congregation
and his lifelong convictions. This wor-
thy man some time since made public
appeal for contributions in aid Of his
weakly church and attenuated congrega-
ton. He had a wealthy friend in Cleve-
land, Ohio, who was a brewer
and who, like most of his craft,
was of very liberal spirit. He re-
spondcd to the appeal OF his clerical
friend by sending him seven barrels of
stock ale-good old beady stock, that
would bear up an egg and almost float a
crowbar.
The minister doesn't drink beer or ale
or wine, even at stated intervals. He
has time and time again admonished his
hearers against even the seductive lager.
To sell it would be dealing in forbidden
spirits To draw it off into the gutter
would be to rob the poor of his congrega-
ton, insult his generous friend and take
spiritual bread out of the mouths of the
heather of Kalamazoo and suburbs. The
poor, perplexed clergyman is driven to
his wits end to know what to do in this
emergency.
He has counseled with his most exem-
piary church members. He has appealed
to his brother clergymen, and the con.
Trajectory advice he has received has
we'll nigh unsettled his mind and unfit
ted him for his professional duties In
quiet way the generous Cleveland brewel
has been appealed to to take back thos'
seven barrels Of ale and compound thu

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PAPERS


An interesting question will come up
soon in Congress for solution, in reference
to the future government of Utah Terri
tory. At the census of 1870 Utah had a
population of sc, 1S6 souls, and since then
has largely increased. Utah has, therefore
as much right to enter the Union as had
Colorado few wears ago. The question
now arises, can Congress refused Utah's
admission? The answer will undoubtedly
be, no, and as the organization of a govern.
ment in the present boundaries of the Ter
ritory would turn over those of other re-
ligions to the mercy of the Mormons, it is
evident that transformation of the North
western States and Territories will become
necessary.
