Crooked Horse.Races.

We have fallen on queer times in
racing circles. writes New York cor
respondent of the Boston Globe, and
watches are found on our tracks as
well as those Of England. The people
who go down to Brighton Beach now
to bet on the races have a hard timo of
it. All the good horses come in last.
The Judges don't see anything wrong
in it. Some of the horses that didn't
earn their feed during the summer
manage to come in first, and the pool
dividends please few men whose
bank accounts weren't dangerously
big few months ago. OF course the
amusement won't last long, but it has
been going at a pretty good gait for
the last four weeks, and the fortunate
fellows IN the ''ring" must be pretty
we'll satisfied. The best way to win is
to back the horse that is popularity
supposed to have the least chance to
win. The favorites get tired early in
the race, or the innocent jockey blum
ders, or the best horse gets a bad start.
and, as the judges are troubled with
singular obliquity of vision, no horse
owner runs much of risk by losing a
race that he ought to win. The races
at Brighton Beach were conducted in
good shape during the spring and
summer, but the bleak winds at the
seashore during the past month blight
ed all the morality in the Brighton
Beach atmosphere. One Of the most
expert of turf operators, who is we'll
known politician in New York, gave
up the task few days ago of picking
winners from his knowledge OF the
horses. He now places all the names
in hat, and picks one out. Then he
backs it. Saturday he won $3.50 at
the beach in this way and he thinks il
the luck held out ne would have been
able to get back what it cost him ts

however. This was handsome young
lady. She was very handsome A
slender. delicate figure draped in gray
ssilk with wealth Of blonde hair rolled
about her graceful head This was all
the general could see at the first
glance, but he felt at that one moment
that the young lady before him was the
only one whom he ever could love.
Until now the generals time had
been too much taken up with business
cares to give much thought to love.

but paid little attention to 1t. His mind
was taken up with the fair young devo-
tee by his' side. At last he saw her
features. Her eyes were the color of
cloudless sky. and her mouth of the
rosebud variety. with ripe cherry lips.
The general feasted his eyes ON this
picture until the services were over.
As she was leaving the pew she
glanced at the general, and then rosy
bushes chased one another rapidly
over her fair countenance, because she
notice for the first time the generals
admiring eyes fixed upon her. She
walked slowly home toward one of the
most fashionable quarters of the city,
totally unaware that the handsome
young fellow was following close be-
hind her. She entered one of the
handsomest houses in the city, leaving
the general, rs he afterward expressed
it, standing on the street looking like a
ninny. He learned that the house was
owned by Gen. R. B. Marcy, an old
war-worn veteran. George himself
had little taste OF war life during the
Mexican trouble, and had retired when
it was over with the rank of captain.
He remembered that one of his school
mates at West Point was named Mar
cy. He made inquiries, and learned
that Gen. Marcy was the father of his
old school companion. 1t did not take
him long then to renew his acquaint-
ance with Gen. Marcy's son, who was
delighted to meet George again. He
introduced the latter to his parents and
also to his sister Ellen, who had made
such deep impression on George at
the church. He began at once to pay
assiduous attention to the peerless
little beauty. 1t was plainly seen after
while that his love was reciprocated.
He asked and obtained Gen. Marcy's
permission to wed his daughter.

Lord Houghton.

next met Lord Houghton at dinner
in Albany in the winter of 1867, where
he was tho guest of Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Dorsheimer. The ten inter-
vening years had told upon his per-
sonal appearance, but more upon his
manner. He seemed very tidgety and
nervous. He was constantly doing
something that did not then need do
ing; he was either pulling at his wrist
bands, or at tho sleeves of his under
garments, or trying to get some new
effect from his shirt-collar. His head
struck me as too low on the top to
answer the purposes of man of q very
high order Of character, or to win love
and respect in any great degree, but
his pure blue eyes were as striking and
attractive as ever. No ono could look
into them second time and not see
that they were the eyes Of no ordinary
or commonplace man. He laughed
frequently and explosively, apparently
as a matter OF po,itcness rather than be-
cause he was amused. His talk was
agreeable, and his manner that of a
man who had no concern about the
impression he was producing-the per-
lection of high breeding. He made
Que statement after dinner OF more
than transient interest; one of the
company having remarked that q
cousin of Lord Houghton had to his
sorrow invested in the Confederate
cotton loan of 1868, another gentleman
present remarked that Gladstone had
some Of that too. ..Oh yes." said
Lord Houghton, laughing. What"

pounds. many prominent persons emu
