American stakes, worth about $4,000.

colt Of the year, was looked upon as a sure
winner. He disappointed every body,
for he quit like dog when he was asked.

on level terms. They had not got far be-
fore Gotham jumped into the lead with
WaltZer, Applause and Utica together, a
length or more away. After the first fur
long had been run both Utica and Walter
moved up and hung on TO GOtham's with
eTs for a sixteenth, when Gotham's head
went into the air, and lie seemed to be
ready 10 quit at the clubhouse. When the
turn into the stretch was reached, both
Walter and Utica were going easily, but
Gotham seemed unable to show any of the
speed which characterized his other races.

OBJECT TO CHURCH CONTROL.

SARATOGA, n. Y, May 26.-The Pres
byterian General Assembly was occupied
with miscellaneous business for the first
half hour of it's opening session to-day.
The report from the joint committee on
home and foreign missions upon the pro-
posed new mission held in New York was
presented and its commentator adopted
after brief protest Dy Elder McDougal OF
Cincinnati.
The Rev. DR.. Hills of Evanston. Ill,
entered a protest against the action OF the
General Assembly on the subject of theO-
logical seminaries on behalf of himself aud
about thirty others. The grounds named
in the protest were the same as those
which had been presented in the debate on
the subject early in the week. The as
sembly then listened to an address by DR..
Peter StTyker. representing the Reformed
church, and cOngratulatory messages were
read from the United Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly. in session at Albany, Or.
Soon after 10 o'clock the assembly took
up the calling of the roll for the expression
of individuals upon the Smith case, begin
ming with the synod of India, where adj
journment left the assembly.
The protest against control of theOlogi-
cal seminaries was based upon the assem-
bly, declaration in 1890. that such control is
not within its rightful jurisdiction, and
upon action in 1870, declaring it impracti-
cable and undesirable. 1t was further OPP
posed, because it would reflect on any
seminary that refuses to comply with the
proposals. The objection was also urged
that changes should precede the acquisi-
ton Of the power now proposed. The pa
per contained forty names and others
were added during the session.
Before adjournment seventy-one
speeches on the Smith case had been
made, two of them of uncertain tenor.
twenty-five in favor of sustaining the ap-
peal. and forty-seven opposed to such ac-
ton. The decree of the assembly to hasten
this order was evidenced just before re-

Probate Court administered upon the
estate. When Scott returned, about two
years ago, he found all his property sold.
He commenced action in ejectment. but
when Scott attempted to testify as TO the
ownership of the property the Judge re-
fused to admit his testimony, holding that
the Probate Court having administered on
the estate the Superior Court, as matter
OF fact, must consider him dead. The
State Supreme Court affirmed the lower
courts decision and the case went to the
United States Supreme Court on the con-
stitutional ground that be had been de-
pTiyed of his pr operty without due process
of law. The United States court has re-
versed the decision and Scott now has
