FROM THE GREAT CENTER.
New YORK, July 6, 1S9

NEW YORK, July b, 1871.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The sporting world is awaiting the
opening of Monmouth park with lively
interest. The descriptions given of the
course have excited keen anticipations,
and there will be a great rush to the
races. There is considerable APPREHENSION
among that class of frequenters of race
tracks who chance a FLYER" now and
then on a horse, as to the course New
Jersey officials will adopt in regard to
the track and betting. Governor Albeit
has pocketed the anti-racing law in def
erence to the earnest and vigorous pro-
tests offered by the religious cOmmuni-
ties, and the proceedings down at Mon
mouth will be Illegal.
A large number of persons have been
indicted at Elizabeth, but it IS bought
that the magnitude OF the interests in
volved at Monmouth park and the Influ-
ence of the railroads, together with
judiciOus use of Doodle, will keep the
officers of the law quiescent. But
New Jersey justice has habit OF
sternly striking offenders, no matter
how influential, and that Is what the
young gentlemen from New York fear.
There will be a great rush for the trains
of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Central railroads, but it will not be as
large as it would be if this uncertainty
as to the intentions of the sheriffs dep
utieS did not exist.
THE "SUMMER CORPS"
The summer CORPS of doctors have be-
gun their rounds for the season. This
corps is composed of fifty physicians.
They make thorough work, and per-
form a mission of great usefulness. Most
of our poor people have only limited
knowledge of the simple remedies that
relieve common ailments. and when the
children are attacked, or they themselves
become i'll. they simply suffer and a
large proportion die from pure ignorance
in reading symptoms and in supplying
remedies within their reach, while many
others have not the means even to buy
the medicines required. This summer
corps visited , ,647 .520 families last sum
mer How thickly the districts they
visited are inhabited may be judged
from the fact that the average number
of families in the tenements visited was
eight. The physicians relieved 167,14S
persons, and also gave simple instructions
as to the treatment of sick children.
The Kings Daughters Will supply
nurses for these poor sufferers this sea-
son. This is the first time that has been
done. 1t is expected to produce bene-
fetal results.
MR.. DEPEwS NOSE.
The roaming" of Mr.. Depew's nose
has attracted much attention 1t
is a very prominent nose upon
very prominent man. The opera
ton will therefore be of much
use to humanity in general, as it will call
renewed attention to the superiority of
the nose over the mouth as a breathing
apparatus. IF, incidentally, many per
sons can be induced to keep their mouths
shut, society viii reap many advantages,
while individually these persons will So
cure better health, especially finding
relief and security from bronchial
troubles. The Depews of this world are
very useful in this regard as they serve
to illustrate the advantages of improve
ment of all kinds, not only TO noses but
to all the members Of the body. Mr..
Depew. in having his nose scanned. has
not suffered in vain. He NAV have done
more good than if he had been nominal
ed for and elected president.
THE SUMMER FITTING.

fairly begun the summer fitting. Six
steamers carried as many Passengers as
