From the completeness with which the Relief
Fxpedition has been fitted out, there is ground
for hope that the Greedy party will be rescued.
The Alert, the last of the three vessels COM
prising the expedition, sailed yesterday. 1t
will Join the Bear ard Thetis in the neighbor-
hood of Upernavik or Disco, on the Gree inland
coast, about June1. The three vessels will then
make q thorough search as they proceed north
ward. The offer of $25, 900 reward will stimulate
the natural love of adventure of the whalers'
and thus supplement the search made by the
official expedition. 1t is now almost three
wears since Lieutenant Greedy and his little
hand of twenty-four men landed at Lady
Franklin Bay. No trustworthy intelligence
concerning them has been received since that
time. AS the party was p1ovisioned Tor three
wears. it is possible that the missing men may
no all rescued alive. If they are dead the
present expedition will probably learn their
fate

There is every reason to expect that this Will
be the most remarkable year in the history oil
the American turf. 1t is certain that racing
plans and preparations are more extensive ana
elaborate than ever before. The season in this
part of the country opened at Far Rockaway
Yesterday, on the picturesque Bayswater course
of the Hunting Club. Nearly all the races were
for gentlemen riders, and therefore the fair
spectators-of whom the number was legion
and the club men present took liveier inter
est in the contests than in those in which pro-
fessional Jockeys are pitted against each other
The day had many novel and attractive feat
ures. which are fully described elsewhere 1t
wonld be well for the American turf If there
were more such days, wherein nothing occurs
to cloud the atmosphere of good feeling and
good breeding, and there is much that is manly
and genuine to admire.

A fitting tribute was paid to the memory OF
one of the Nations greatest men in the I'M
yelling at Washington yesterday of the stat1e
of Chief Justice Marshall. In the thirty four
years that he presided over the Supreme Court
he laid deep and strong the foundations on
which the jurisprudence of the country has
since been built As the great expounder OF
the Constitution 1t is well that his memory
should be so deeply hOnOred.

Evidence for and against the police was given
Yesterday before the Assembly investigating
Committee. Ex-Commissioner Voorhls. was
directly contradicted by the testimony OF some
of the police officials. including that OF Superin-
tendent Walling, who seems to have fully re-
covereGlfrom his recent troubles. 1t is pity
that Mr. Voorhis did not do more to improve
the condition of the police force during the
several years that he was Commissioner pro-
viding it was so bad as he now seems to imply.
There was certainly no noticeable improve
ment dming his term Of Office

Freedom of speech is pleasing characteristic
of Methodist bodies. 1t has been marked
feature of the General Conference now In
session in Philadelphia In the beginning OF
its work a public attack was made on the
methods followed by some of its members In
arranging combinations to control the election
of Bishops. Later when Bishop proposed a
plan of lessening the standing committees, 1t
was denounced as step in the direction OF
machine legislation, and was rejected by
large vote. Yesterday when a question came
I'D in regard to fixing residences in Europe
Asia and Africa for some OF the proposed new
Bishops, there was free expression of opinion
on the subject. One member thought that IT
would be advantageous to send abroad all OF
the Bishops except one. Others expressed
somewhat similar views. The question was
not settled.

the State a grant of the land for 400 feet beyond

and had never renuuished its claim or title. Inc

that persons owning bulkheads along lhe waier r
