tlemen who fill the Grand Srand, ant
the blacklegs and sporting men who art
now leudly calling for the second race
Few, 1t any think of the dead anC
mangled boys lying on the stable floor
sacrificed, unthinkingly as ever Gladia
tor was butchcred to grace a Roman
holiday. Several jockeys have beer
killed at jerome Park and SheepsheaC
Bay this season. and a number wounded
but be it recorded to the honor of on
exalted civilization. that the death o.
wounding of a jockey, or the broker
neck or limbs of a horse, has neyei
stopped a race. Let us ;moralize NJ
more on Spanish Bull6ghts or Romar
holidays.
The art season is upon us again. Tht
artists who have been sketching in tht
mountains and the valleys are bacl
home with their portfolios full, anC
some of the new canvasses are of sur
passing merit. The exhibition of watel
colors at the rooms of the Society oi
Fine Arts on 23rd Street.: is the best
water color exhibition that we have hat
in New York; we are also making won.

is only few years since the first 1t.
tempt at anything of this kind worth
mentioning was inaugurated by the Sal.
magundi Club; since then it has i'm.
proved wonderfully till some of these
pen and ink and crayon sketches are
equal to line engraving. Unjust take
an early opportunity TO give more
critical review of the beautiful water
color exhibition of this wear.
Providence be thanked the election Is
over, and for q year, at least, the small
boy no moro stealeth the covering of
the cellar grating to make a patriotic
oonfire; no more will our ears be offend;
Ell with the beating of political gongs!
The merchant ana mechanic will again
return to their business, and the tramr
who has been. comfortably housed AMI
fed for the last thirty days will agaiu
'rowl our streets to beg AMI steal. The
Democrats have all the State offices; the
Republicans have the Assembly and the
Senate; the deal seems to be pretty
even, an both parties can congratulate
themselves on having hal the most Or
ierly election of any State in the Union.
New York AMI Brooklyn have large
1ni turbulent population, but to their
honor be it recorded there was no. poll
in either city, where a Republican Or
Democrat might not freely cast his vote.
OrIer reigned supreme everywhere, ami
the peace officers at the different election
precincts held sinecure, This is es-
pecially gratifying in view of the turbu-
lent violence at Chicago and Cincinnati
an with all of her faults. stamps New
York as one of the model States of the
American Republic.
Among the novel modes of adyertis-
ing, saw a man seated on the top of a
house on one of our leading thorough
fares, he was equipped as fisherman
with an oilskin coat, a souwester AMI a
fishing rod. There he sat fishing on the
roof, while thousands stood gazing on
the street below. Every few minutes
he caught fish to the intense delight
of the people in the street. 1t was the
advertisement of candy store, and was
an immense success, and crowded the
store with purchasers of candy. Pass
ing the same place few days later, the
fisherman was clad in light blue mill
'ary oyercoat, and had with him on the
roof a file Of men in India rubber coats
with hoods over their heads, and as he
put them through their drill, whichever
way they wheeled they wheeled and
turned they were labeled "candy, can
iy." As a result, hundreds rushed in
to buy candy, who would never have
realized the truth of the old adage, zone
fool makes many"
An old game has been revived here
during the week which has resulted in
serious loss. 1t is generally practiced
Turing the early hours of the evening.
The immense plates Of glass now used
for store windows, on account Of their
thickness were supposed 10 be protec-
tion for goods; hut our adroit thieves
have got the better of them. They se-
lect window richly filled with jewelry.
A schort distance from the scene of the
robbery they have a butchers cart with
a man in, all ready TO drive off. Two
thieves march up to the front Of the
store, and each has large cobble stone
under his coat. Thief No. dashes his
stone through the window, and thief
No. holds his stone in reserve, while
No. grabs tray of goods, and both
hurry off to the cart which is driven off
on the instant. This has been done
many tiines on our most public thor
oughfRres, and strange to say few Of the
robbers are caught, and not 1.-THE Of
the goods recovered. On election night
the windows Of the beautiful new store
Of Wechsler Brothers Of Brooklyn, were
broken in thls way--several pieces OF
silk were stolen, and the loss In glass
was not far flom $1,000 We have had
a wintry warning, election day was cold
as Greenland, and politicians shlvered
In their shoes As they shouted for Dav-
-enport 4 cREf or Hill and Jones; as all
the saloons @Here;rlosed they had to take
prohikltiou .eomfoIt, till the sun went
down, when they entered the Land Of
Promise. .,...-..--.. ..BBoApBR1AI.
