Roman Races.

Manager Forepaugh has expended vast sum in the organization of his great Roman Hippodrome, which constitutes 8 distinctive feature of his show this season. While those scenes which often made the Roman races
 mere exhibitions of brutality will, of course find no place in Forepaugh's great arena, yei all that was great, grand and glorious in the old Roman Hippodrome, is retained and will be presented in Forepaugh's revived repre-. sentations of these classical sports.
 The first races of the Romans were exhibit ed on the open plain the chosen spot was not enclosed within ropes or rails to prevent interruption, and they continued this until Tarquinius Priscus built the grand circus at Rome, where they were afterwards mostly exhibited How far the horses ran before they got to the last boundary from the start ing place is not expressed by historians but history states that the above course was about ?, 167 Roman feet in length, and 96O broad of semi-circular form at one end, the other ending in right line. The races commonly ended at the seventh turn round the boundary. The number and length of the heats, however, occasionally varied. The matches were generally about twenty four, though sometimes far greater number were exhibited; for Suetonius states that the Elm psror Domitian presented hundred matches in one day. The time when the races were to begin was anciently given by sound of trumpet. The horses began up at the line, ready for starting the signal was given by a napkin, hung out of the prator's tent, or chief magistrates seat, something like the or dinary mode of starting horses at country courses here. The origin of this custom is thus accounted for. ''Nero was once at din ner, and the people making great noise, desiring that the sport might begin, the En- peror immediately threw the napkin he had in his hand out of the window, as token he had granted their request.' Forepaugh's Mammoth Combination will reach here May 17th

Trinity College

Rev. Geo. Williamson Smith Called to tn he
 Presidency
 The trustees of Trinity have called to the presidency of the college the Rev. George Williamson Smith, s. T. D.. now rector of l. Dr. Smith has this call under considera- tion, and there now is every reasonable probability that he will accept the position and will succeed President Pynchon at the beginning of the coming collegiate year. The Hartford Times says:
 Dr. Smith was for g. while a chaplain in the United States navy and afterward was for ten years rector of the Protestant Episco- pal church at Jamaica, l.. l., accepting his present charge in September, 1881. He is in the prime of life and usefulness, forty five years old, sound scholar and especially accomplished in the modern languages gentleman of travel and experience, and one who thoroughly understands human na- ture as well as books. Those who know him intimately speak of him as eminently qualified in every respect for the position to which the college has called hims His ability is beyond ques ton. He is said to be man of considerable means, and he is known to have an extended acquaintance with influential men. He would thus be able to draw to Trinity the attention and support of prominent people who would be able to do much for the advancement of the college. The choice of Dr. Smith seems in every respect to be polite and wise one, and it is to be hoped, and is probable, that he will accept the position.
 It is not likely that any immediate move ment will be made to supply the place vacat- ed by the death of Professor Johnson. In- deed, it will be very difficult to do so. The department was so much special creation of Professor Johnson's it would seem that one of the very best of those trainedunder him in his ways and methods could alone attempt to follow in his footsteps and succeed him.
