Delightful weather.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7th.-The
weather continues almost unprece-
dentedly delightful for the season.
The Thermometer at midnight indi-
Gated 70o, and the Signal Service
predictions show that in all proba-
bility we will have several days
more of continuous summer wealth
err. The thermometer has not
fallen below 50o but once this sea-
son. Though hotels and bathing
houses at the seaside are declared
officially "closed," many thou
sands of pleasure-seekers yet visit
Coney Island every day.
The Comics, in New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7th.-The jour-
nails are now devoting themselves
largely to local politics. The bound.
aries of the new election districts,
made necessary by the re-appor-
tionment of the State for Assem-
blymen, are published this morn

than 67S polling precincts.
The Herald declares that if Kelly
accompllshes all he aims at in this
election, Tilden will be an impossi-
BILE candidate, since Kelly's ability
to defeat Robinson would be re-
garded as proof that he had the
ability and will to defeat Tilden.
The Sun says: We expect to see
John Kelly poll large vote, but it
seems to us that it will be like the
last exercise of Samson's strength.
The pillars and man of giant
strength will fall together in one
common ruin. The defeat of Rob-
inson and the final destruction of
Tammany will be linked together
in one common event. The World
and Brooklyn Eagle, on the con-
trary, have no fears of such re-
suit, and confidently believe that
Robinson will be chosen over
Cornell, even without the usual
great Dem ocratic majority thrown
in this city.

the defense are Geo. II. Williams,
President of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railway Com

siderable difficulty is experienced
in obtaining jury, as nearly every
man in Connecticut is believed to
have formed an opinion.
CENTRAL PARK.
NEW YORK, October 7th.-The
Herald says that about one in ten
of the population visited Central
Park on Sunday and beheld, in
stead of a beautiful garden for
which SO much money has been
paid, plot of ground so shame
fully neglected that to put it in
proper order again Will cost consid.
erably more than the sum nomin-
ally saved by reducing the appro-
priation.

NEW YORK, October CHA
Lebanon (Pa.) special says: The
mmunity is considerably agitat-
ed over the sudden death of a poor
old man named David Long, whose
life was insured by spectators for
$4,000. The companies refuse to
pay and the body is to be exhumed.
A snsme fnIIy-M Institution.
New YORK, Oct. 7th.-The Her.
aid says: The way our Custom
House is managed is an insult to
the American character. Among
recent instances, one of the most
odious is the detention of the Ep-
som cup won by Pierre Lorillard's
horse, Parole.
