REyELRY in RACING.

There were few overweights carried at
the Gutenberg races yesterday, and the
Brotherhood of Jockeys has determined
that gloves while riding wiz, not be en-
TegaJe while riding hereafter
The crowd that attended was the largest
seen at Gutenberg since the races began.
1t surged through the betting ring, keep
ing the fingers of the thirty bookmakers
present busy taking money and handing
out tickets. Then it went out, flied the
grand stand, the overflow crowdingson to
the raised stand in front and lining the
rail five or six deep. The track was in
capital condition, and each of the six
races well contested.
The first win of the day brought up old
recollections to many racegoers present,
and was a decided pleasure to those who
backed the winner, as 10 to 1 was laid
| against Babette, ridden by Thayer. She
is a daughter of Iroquois, the only Ameri-
can winner of the English Derby, and of
Baby, that grand mare whose fleet per-
formances at Brighton and elsewhere are
bright spots in turf history.

Blood and

Los ANGELES, Cal. March 13, 1880
Great excitement existed in the Lower
California mining camps last night, and
thousands of desperate gold hunters are
breathing vengeance against the Interna-
tional Company of English capitalists,
who Sc agents lay claims to thr mines and
others.
Yesterday it became known that the
company had sem to San Francisco for
5000 Cinnamon to work the mines, and
last night the American and Mexican
miners held a mass meeting and deter
mined not to submit to the coming of
Coolies. They also framed a petition to
the American Congress asking protection.
The situation looks threatening, and a
battle between the independent miners
aud the English companys' men is looked
for every moment. Blood will certainly
be shed IL the company insists on bringing
Coolies to the camps.

So Colonel Lamont has associated
himself with ex-Secretary Whitney IN
the railroad enterprise business In

good, fat railroad. / have had no
lunch.n
.:Yes, my new ex-Sire," repliel Dan1,

please, and put it into your expense
bill"
SAY, my liege," replied the faithful
Daniel, as he ran his hand into his

The death rate, about eight and one
quarter per cent. of all cases treated, is
less than that Of the previous year.
The death rate of medical cases was
a little over eleven per cent.
The death rate of surgical cases was
less than five and one-half per cent.
Owing to the increased demand for
accommodations in the hospital it has
become necessary to increase the size
of the building. This will be done by
the erection of a wing which will be
large enough, it is believed, to permit
the establishment of wards for the
treatment of diseases of the eye, ear,
throat. etc. Ground will be broken
early in April for the erection of this
annex and the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible.
The funds used to carry on the work
of ''healing the sickn in this institu-
ton are entirely supplied by voluntary
contributions, and in every sense of
the word the hospital is an institution
where charity is judiciously distrib-
uted.
One of the pleasant things that
transpired during the meeting was the
presentation of a case of surgical in
struments valued at ST., 900 by the
friends of DR.. Theodore Romeyn Var
lex as a tribute to his memory.

A Typographical Error.

The editor of THE JERSEY Cry
NEwsfeels called upon to express his re-
greet for an erroneous statement of fact,
which through a typographical error,
crept into yesterdays report Of the
Palma Club disagreement, a careless
compositor, by adding an Isl to the
Mr.. preceding a ~gentleman's name,
made it appear that the name of an
altogether estimable lady had in some
way been brought into the contro-
versy.
While there was nothing in the par
agraph as it read calculated to give
any serious offence, still the editor of
THE JERSEY City NEWS feels much
modification at an error which could
afford even a passing annoyance,
especially when a misstatement of fact
was involved.

the mill owners are the flies. But the
poor operatives are most miserable OF
all, for the mill owner, financially EN-
barrassed, and having no skill IN
finance and trade to help him out, is
able to think of but one resource-tak0
it out of the operatives.
BY organization the latter have
gained some strength of late years, but
they are too poorly paid in the best OF
times to permit of their making a long
fight. If they win now it will be the
suddenness of the movement. No per
manent advantage can be gained pc

foolish and so weak-and some OF them
+ now getting so poor-thatthe pusl-
ness is at loose ends throughout.

Amending the Charter Bill.

Since yesterdays writing we have
been informed that the new charter
bill is to be amended in very import
ant details. Among other things, we
learn, it is to be submitted to the APP
proval OF the people at the polls.
This procedure would remove n OF
the most serious objections to which
the measure is open in its present
shape. The charter takes away SO
much power from the voters to place it
in the hands of a single man--that
man being already in office-that the
cautious mind may well hesitate to give
! it approval. But If such be the will OF
Athe people, and they have the oppor-
tunity to express their will freely by
The ballot, then no rational objection
IAN be raised against their decision.
Just here. however, another serious
Auestion arises. Would the submission
the charter to the popular vote be
kithin the scope of the Constitution?
Nhis is a question for lawyers; but at
S@t sight we should think it called for
a negative answer.
1t is we'll known that a majority OF
the members of the Supreme Court re-
gard local option in all its forms as an
infringement of the Constitution.

BIG Secretary Blaine and little Presi.
dent Harrison had a few pleasant
words in the Cabinet meeting, as re-
ported in THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
dispatches from Washington yester-
day. The magnetic Secretary had a
slate Of foreign Ministers, including
Wishy Washy Phelps and several
other remarkably incompetent per-
sons. The President kicked. Secre-
tary Blaine turned on the electro
magnetic current, but the President
didn't emit a spark, so the story goes.
This is encouraging, but it does not
settle the question of supremacy.
Blaine is a permanent magnet and he
will continue to draw the Administra-
ton powerfully toward those Fun
righteous expedients" which the Presi-
dent has said cannot be permanent
