THE BIG TRoTTING RACE!-Fleet-
wood Park, n. Y, Sept. 29.--The great
trot for $1,000, between the celebrated
trottsrs Jay Eye See and st. Julien, ha.
caused the largest cOncourse of people
to assemble on this track that has been
seen on any race track in America for
twenty years. At this writing. 2:45 p.
M, there is scarcely an available spot
left to witness the race. There are at
least 5000 equipages of every descrip-
ton, and lines extend from the gate a
distance of two miles. 1t is evident
that thousands of people will not be
able to get within the enclosure. Mr..
Vanderbilt drove into his private shed
behind Early Rose and Aldine, while
Mr.. Work drove Dick Swiveller and
Edward. The betting is very heavy.
st. Julien has still the call, at 100 to so.
The track is very heavy in spots.
Wiseacres claim that Jay Eye See can
not trot in the mud.
Jaw Eve See has just appeared on the
track. He is a black yelding, toaled in
1878 by Dictator; dam Midnight, by
Plot W. He appears in excellent form.
When he finished his exercises he was
greeted with thunders of applause. Mr..
Bithers will hold the ribbons Orvin
Hickock will drive st. Julian. The lat
ter is a gelding. He is a dark bay, and
was toaled in 1869. by Volunteer; dam,
by Willis Henry Clay. st. Julien's
best record is 2.lI}, made at Hartford,
August 9th, 1880. This season he has
trotted several races. but has not, it is
said. been In condition for a severe 0 N
test. He is now in good form-so it is
said about his stable. His competitors
best record--2. l04--was made at Provi-
deuce a few days ago. Both horses are
now in sheds on the track, guarded by
a large force of policemen. They are
having a rather arduous job in keeping
the great crowd back that is SURFING
aud scrambling about the sheds. The
track is being scraped by a dozen inn
provised machines. and it is thought by
the time the race begins it will be in
very fair cond ton. The weather is
very warm and cloudy. but not threat
ening. Twenty-four thousand tickets
have thus far been sold. The crowd
awaiting admittance extends as far as
the eye can reach.
800 p. m.-Thc horses are now being
rung to the post. The Judges are Geo.

A B~oStonian View of the South

Under the head of ".Studies IN tie
South,' We find the following specimen
oc full blown LIE, in Tile Aaanuc, the
popular Yankee magazine.
''One might soon fill volumes with the
stories of wal and of the state of things
just after its close, which are told every
where among the common people of the
South. In every place which visited,
the inhabitants said that there had been
much improvement in the state of So
ciety' in the last eight or ten years and
this is probably true. The assurance
gives encouragement regarding the fu-
ture, but 1t also inspires the reflection
before the improvement was made the
region could not have been a very desir
able place of residence. 1t was common
to hear people say, Things has been a
great deal better sence Jack Belden and
Con Peters was killed" Then would
follow a story of repeated murders and
murderous assaults on the part of these
men, Of crime persisted in for many
years, until the whole region was in ter
ror of these desperadoes. AT last, on
some dark night, a company of men ride
up to the house of one of these outlaws.
aDQ summon MIN 10 come out. Then
there is pleading and resistance on the
part of his wife. and some hesitation on
the part of the outlaw himself. But it
was said-and this seemed to me curious
and strange-that the taunt of cowardice
is almost always effectual. and the fellow
soon resolves to face his ~besiegers. He
selects his best weapons. puts a doutle
charge 10 a shot gun. removes his family
! to the safest part of the room, opens the
door and is at once rildled with balls
from a score of guns, which had been
carefully aimed SO as to cover every part
of the doorway, and had been steadily
held iu that position since before the first
to the man within. | could
not learn whether, 10 such case, a man
feels the reused instinct of fight. or wheth
er he sees his time has come, and merely
accepts the inevitable.
In some instances after a story of this
kind, people would add, There's two
or threee other men that they'll be killed
before long, [ recon, and then this couu-
try will be very peaceable." This may
be an effective method of improving the
moral character of a community, but |
should prefer a residence somewhere
else, as long as missionary work Of this
kind appearst to be necessary.
