A Great Race at Washington.

WASHINGTON, October 17.-An immense
crowd attended the races to-day. The
. weather was cold, but the track was good
and fast.
The great event of the day was the race
for the Columbia stakes, on which pools
sold as follows: Eole, $50; Miss Wood
ford, Sl20; Drake Carter, $26. These
were the only starters. 1t was announced
from the judges stand that in consequence
of Iroquois being out OF condition he would
not contend for the stake. He was then
moved over the quarter stretch, but there
were few who heard the announcement of
his presence. The start was good-Drake
Carter first, Miss Woodford second, Eole
last. In the lower turn Miss Woodford
went to first position, and at the three
quarter post led Drake Carter four lengths,
,and he was two lengths ahead OF Eole.
Down the backstretch Eole went 10 second
place, and they passed the stand with Miss
Woodford leading Eole length, and he-a
length in front of Drake Carter. There
was no change in the upper turn, and at
the quarter Miss Woodford had the ad-
vantage by a length over Eole, who was
neck ahead of Drake Carter. In the back
stretch Eole gave way and fell to the rear.
notwithstanding the applioation OF whip
and spur, and at the half-mile post, when
Miss Woodford was only length ahead of
Drake Carter. Eole trailed Eve lengths in
the rear. Eole fell off more in the lower
turn, and before reaching the three-quar-
ter post was virtually out of the race At
the three-quarter post, Miss Woodford ran
very fast, and when she passed into the
home stretch, was two lengths in front of
Drake Carter, and Eole eight lengths be-
hind. Miss Woodford drew away and fin
ished winner two lengths ahead of Drake
Carter, second, six lengths ahead of Eole,
last. Time-2 i3Sa.
The winners of the other events were
Colonel Sprague, Burch, Afsnza and Abra-
ham. All bets on the steeple-chase were
declared Off for fraud, Jim MeGowan
starting suspiciously wrong. sr
At meeting tonight OF the judges in
to-day's races, the horse, Jim McGowan,

steeplechase, were ruled off the track on

LORD CoLERIDGE, by his speech at the
New York banquet last week, made pro-
found impression rs a careful and correct
observer and prudent but candid speaker.
As the Herald says, che did not take pains
to remark that our form Of government
was perfect in every particular, but he did
say most cutting things about the toadies
who yearn to duplicate in this country
every detail of the British system, in
cluding an imitation of the House OF
Lords. Every sensible man who heard
the speech went home with a very good
opinion OF himself and his country, for
which Lord sChief-Justice Coleridge de-
serves hearty thanks"

Monday they had little cremating affair

On Monday coffins were sent out from

had to be disposed of by some means,
some thoughtful person suggested that a
torch be applied to the building, and its

4 DISPATCH from Richmond to the New

in Virginia. 1t states that RidGieberger
is now giving Malone all possible AID,
and that his failure TO take the stump
oftener was for purely personal reasons.
The boom given the Democratic cause by
the recent Ohio victory has greatly en-
couraged that party's leaders in this state,
and will undoubtedly be worth thousands
of votes to them in the approaching cleo
ton This was admitted the other day by a
prominent Republican Mahoneite, who is
also a Federal office-holder. Realizing the
probability of failing of his white Demo
cratic followers, Malone is bending every
energy TO bring out the negro vote, especi-
ally in the close Legislative districts where
the undivided support of that race, with
some help from the whites, win elect his
candidates. In the white counties, it i:
said, the Malone speakers profess to b'
