Some of our racing associations are already
in a great deal of trouble about betting. ii
any of them are so foolish as to attempt TO IN
terfere with legitimate criticism OF handicap
ming or any other feature of the sport, they will
have more on their hands than they can COM
fortably carry.
II cannot be a pleasant thing to be ex-Pres-
fdent. The most modest and humole-minded
man can hardly relish the change from the con-
stant attention he receives in Office to the lack
of II which follows the close of his term. But
if General Arthur's feelings have been wounded
for this reason there was certainly balm for
them in the cordial reception given to him
Yesterday when he appeared at the unveiling
of tn. statue of the Pilgrim. The applause
and cheers would not end, and the blushlng
but apparently pleased ex-President had to
how his thanks continuously for many minutes.
Happy were the men, women and children
who had planned out door sports for yesterday.
The weather was glorious Neither too hot nor
too cold, the day was perfect for games OF all
kinds. and was proof that when this climate
wishes to be agreeable, it Is simply unsur-
passed. The devotees of racing, rowing,
b,cycling and yachting, of baseball, lacrosse,
tennis and cricket, all turned out to make the
best of the opportunity. What they accom-
nlisbed toward beating the records those
columns of THE TRIBUNE given up this morn
ing TO accounts of these sports, will disclose
There is no reason to fear that the interest OF
vounp America in athletic exercises is dying
out.
General Chaille Long gives the readers OF
THE TRIBUNE to-day an interesting paper on
his Zanzibar experiences when he was in the
service of Egypt. Gordon at that time was
meditating great things. 1t is curious to note
how many Governments have been disposed
to partthe possessions ofthe Sultan of Zanzibar
among .them, or to wrest them from one an
other. and how indifferent all have been to the
rights of the Sultan himself. AT present Ger
many appears to be bent on annexation in that
region, and though England caused the defeat
of General Longs and Admiral McKillOp's ex-
pedition, it is doubtful whether the same influ'
ence will be exerted, or could succeed if it was
exerted, IN the case of DR.. Rohlfs, the present
representative of Bismarck in the disputed
vegion.
An interesting letter about Guatemalan
Affairs will be found in to-day's TRIBUNE. The
account of the foiling of Barrundia's conspiracy
10 make himself the successor of Barrios is quite
dramatic, but it seems pity that Barrilas,
after checkmating Barrundia, should have per-
mitted him to leave the country. The state
ment that Barrundia was really the author of
most of the cruelties charged upon Barrios may
probably be received with caution. Barrios
was not the man to seek a scapegoat anywhere,
and still less was he the man 10 allow one OF his
subordinates to act upon his own responsibility.
1t is clear that there is much feeling against
Zaldivar in Guatemala, and as the facts now
appear he can hardly lie acquitted of treachery
toward his friend and patron, Barrios. The
story of his holding back the dispatches sent
from Washington to Barrios, as they passed
through Salvador, will perhaps bear further ex-
animation.
The crisis in the English Cabinet remains un-
changed from what it was week ago. Our
correspondent in London deems compromise
Mkely. It is difficult to SEQ why the Liberals
ahould be unwilling to accede to the request
