NEW YORK, July 19.-The Repub.
licans will strike the first blow In the
important political fight in this state

the state was reapportione Under
that law, aldermen in this county and
the boards of supervisors in other
counties having more than one

The Kite Not to Prevail.

It would seem evident to any one who
has been watching passing events and
expressions of precedence that the popu-
lar track of the future will be the regu-
lation mile track. with quarter mile
turns. quarter mile stretches. railroad
curves and grades, made of good. elastic
soil, and on level plane. All of the
"solid comforts" of trotting races are
with this form of track, because specta-
tors can. see what is going on. and the
danger to horses and drivers is reduced
to minimum. There is no use OF
thinking or talking about the trotting
turf remaining a popular resort for the
recreation loving public unless t1otting
races are conducted on track and in
such manner that spectators can get
something for their money.-Turf, Field

A Mice PIagua In Scotland.

There is a veritable mice plague on
the Scottish borders, which has done
immense damage to pasturage The
herbage has been totally destroyed, not
a vestige of green having been left.
There is consequently no alternative
but to remove the greater number Of
sheep and find food for them elsewhere
1t is believed that at least two-thirds OF
the sheep on the affected farms will have
to be removed, so that the outlook for
spring is very gloomy. Farmers unani-
mously attribute the plague to the de-
struction by gamekeepers Of the weasel
hawk, owl, lnagpie and other natural
enemies of mice, and to the fact that
tenants are prevented from burning
rough pasture in spring. London Let

thousands. to be considered and rejected
again. Applicants imagine, evidently,
that what one party viii not grant the
other may grant. Their persistence in
many cases is astonishing. One citizen,
who has not the shadow of right to
back him up, has written more than
1000 letters to the treasury respecting
his demand, and has expended more
money in postage than the value Of the
claim. He has addressed his commune

official in Washington, from the presi-
dent down, and even to the Chinese and
