RACING IN W-JERSEY.

There is trouble in store for the New-Jersey
race-traclls The recent crusade i'll Elizabeth
against all forms Of betting the arrest Of tho
bookmakcrs and the proprietOrs OF race
course. made il evident that all the jockey
clubs in the State might expect active and de
termined opposition at an early day. 80 an
effort was made 10 get bill passed which
should permit betting on the grounds OF tho
racing associations on race-days, and should
allow each association to race iifty-fye days in
the year The jockey clubs asked TOO much.
If they had been moderate and reasonable in
their requests, they would not have excited the
vehement hostility which has prevented the
enactment of the statute which they desire
They did succeed in getting the bill through
both houses of the Ncw-JerSey Legislature, but
the Governor was overwhelmed with petitions
and memorials from all parts Of the State, and
was bcscged by delegations of clcrgymcn and
other prominent citizens. who besought him
not to sign the bill Moved by these appeals
and protests, he let the proposed measure die
by failing to give it his signature.
1t is dark and stormy outlook for the stock
holders OF the NewJcrsey courses. While
public sentiment was comparatively Indifferent
Is
bookmakng and poolselling were few and
feeble But now so much bitterness has been
stirred up, so intense is the existing rancor
that racing in our sister State hereafter will
have TO contend with many impaSsioned and
implacabe enemies.

modest in their aims, and had sought merely

MR. ST1NLEI'S MISSION.

Mr. Staney's book is the noblest record Of
the achievements of man Of action which this
generation has known. In his PREDATORY let
ter to Sir William Nackinnon, the chief patron
of the relief expedition, he formuatcs III sim
pie language his creed for such hazardous but
benevolent undertakings as his recent advent
ures in tropical Africa. II is " to act for the
best think the right thought, and speak the
right word as well as good motive will per
nit" "When a mission is intrusted to me-"
he adds. "and my conscience approves it as
noble and right, and | give my promise to eX-
ert my best powers to fulfil this according TO
the letter and spirit, | carry with me "A law
that | am compelled to obey" Mr.. Stanley
does not make species of religious mysticism
of the law of his conscience as Gordon, whom
he closely resembles in character, was wont to
do. lie is more practical in his sense Of the
requirements Of mission undertaken at the
instance of others. He fufls his engagements
in a spirit of loyalty to those who have in
trusted him with philanthropc mission 10y
atty becomes the law of his conscience, and he
inspires his followers with his own spirit of
devotion, self -consccraton and sacrifice.
From his own account of his earliest neqo-
tatiOns with Emin it is clear that Mr.. Stanley
did not go out "a an irresponsible agent whose
will was to be law unto himself lie had re-
oeived formal instructions from the Khedve of
Egypt, from the King of the Belgians, and
from the East African Company, to represent
their interests and to make definite PROPOSE
tions to the Governor OF the Equatorial Prov
inces The Khedivcs message was that it was
impossible for him TO defend those Provinces.
and that if Emin should prefer to remain there
after receiving offer of escort TO the coast he
must do so upon his own responsibility and
