LORD ABERCRoMBY'S EXPLOITS IN
New IoRK.-Lord Abcrcromby is Just
now cutting a considerable .igurc in
New York. The New York Uorld
says: 1t is said that he recently came
in possession of a fortune. or at least
had plenty of money. On Saturday last
lac purchased a 2-year-old chestnut colt,
by King Alfonso. dam Leoni. at Sleeps
head Bay, for which he paid $3.50. T..
Berry Wall. a well-known man in So
cjcty in this city was joking with him
about his purchase the other day. and
veXcd Young Abercromby. who offered
To bet $4,000 that his colt would beat
Wall. Wallfower, and a match was
made. They walked over to the Secre-
tary's stand and Wall put up n check
for $4,000 and invited Abercromby to
do the same. There was much disap-
continent when he refused to draw out
a check. and sportsmen lost an opportu-
nifty to see how he would title himself
He asked for time and went away. He
was gone about an hour and then re-
turned and laid down $4,000 in crisp
~EIeenhacks, which looked as though
they had come direct from the Govern
mtnt printing press. The race came off
Yesterday. and Abercromby's colt won,
aud he is 10y the pOssesSOr of $4,000 of
Wallis money, together with additional
bells amounting to $1,000. Seven thous-
and doiltrs in a single day, sportsmen
say, is good enough even for a lord.
The sim relates that on Thursday af-
teruoon, while Abercromby aud a hand
sumcIy dressed woman were dining at
the Manhattan Beach Hotel, another
young woman appeared and addressed
tia-m both 80 eXcitedly that for a mo-
meut there was little eating done in the
Immediate neighborhood Lord Aber-
cromhy said Yesterday that both the
vouug omen were casual acquaintance
that he had made not very long ago in
this city. He met the last one he was
dining with. The one who came uuin-
vltcd he had known for about SIX weeks
htiure that. After things had quoted
down he paid his bill. left the hotel with
lis haggrge and dog cart. and returned
~ the Hoffman House.

There is no demand for public improve

a road in the county reasonably passible;
