Registration officers were busily en-
gagged from noon yesterday until 9
o'clock last evening. a haSty canvass
taken in the heart of the city shows
that the total number of new names en-
rolled will not equal the result of week
ago, but it was estimated that the
registration OF the three days
will aggregate about $4,000. At noon
the polls were crowded with merchants,
clerks and mechanics, and representa-
tive business men contested with their
employees for precedence at the clerks
table. With regularity each was in turn
quickly qualified, and all breathed a
sigh of relief when the initiat0rY step
towards securing the right of suffrage
had been taken. A majority OF
the voters took advantage of
the second day, aud from O'Clock until
the polls in most of the districts were
deserted save by the clerks and few
curious Ioungers, who took advantage
of the fact that they had, for one day at
least, place in which to sit and take
life easy.
After o'clock Yesterday, however,
the upper and middle classes gave way
largely to the laboring fraternity. and
particularly in the vicinity of the rail-
road shops. the last three hours were
busy ones for the clerks. Many of those
who availed themselves of the last
hours of the last day were foreigners,
and their ignorance of the English
language necesSitated some deIay,as the
majority of them were unable to
comprehend the tenor of the questions
which the judges put to them. But un-
score, and in due course of time each
applicant was disposed of. The results
in the pOpulouS districts are given be-
low:
