Unset the Talent.

New York, Aug. 27.-The little New York trotter Cephas upset the talent and won a great race to-day at the Fleetwood grand circuit meeting, trot- ting a fourth heat in 2:15 class race in 2:11h. Cephas had not started in grand circuit company before this sea- son and the circuit followers overlook ed him in trying to pick the winner. Queechy, who won at Rochester last week, defeating Newcastle, Altao and others in 2:121a, was a warm favorite before the start, With the Boston Cap rice heavily backed as second choice. Neither of these two, however, was dan- gerous at any stage of the race. Arena went off in front in the opening, lead ing until the short home stretch was reached when the horse faltered, broke and was pulled up by his driver. M. E. McHenry's Bravado came on from the rear and won the heat handily. Bravado interfered with Cephas in this heat, throwing him off his stride.

 Election Incidents.

At the recent Italian elections 1t was
 the habit of the government candidates to give each voter ,one-half of five franc note before; and the other half after, the election. In England in the oldSdays this used to be done with five pound notes. MT. Warton, the "cham- pion Blocker" once told me story of those times. The electors had been accustomed to receive five pounds in this way. One day 1t occurred to them that their suffrages were worth more. Therefore they went to the agent and | insisted upon receiving ten pounds. He ,demurred; but at last he agreed, with some show of reluctance, and dis tributed the halves of ten pound notes. | When the election was over the voters came and asked for the balance, only 1 to be told that the other halves were l in the hands of other voters, and could
 only be negotiated by comparing notes. l That was the last time that the mem- Der dared show his nose among his con stituents.
 | Don Carlos told me several storiea about the methods used in Spain to | baffie his supporters. On one occasion l the authorities resorted to the simple | expedient of announcing the result as | fo11 Co Jict 1af | thousand and odd votes; Government 1 candidate, two thousand and odd votes. Government candidate duly elected' | Another time, when the vote was eb- viously going against the government, an urn was brought in at the last mo- ment from an imaginary village, which, oddly enough, had ''gone solid" for the l government and just sufficed to turn
 the scale. On. the other hand, I heard | that elections were sometimes turned | in the Carlist districts by no less unu-
 sual means. There was for example, a | Carlist bull which waited outside the polling -booths,s and frightened away
 unfriendly voters at a signal from his
 master, while he freely admitted his own side
 MT. Dicey has a somewhat similar story from Bulgaria, where the elect ors, as rule, take no interest in the elections. A friend of his took the trouble to wait outside polling-b booth all day and count how many people
 went in. He counted two hundred al- together during the day. What was his surprise, on the announcement of the poll, to learn that there had voted for the government candidate thirty five hundred, for the opposition candi-
 date twenty-five hundred! He was in- innate with the returning officer, and remarked to him upon this strange dis
 crepancy. T am sure" the other an-
 swered, "you must have made a mis-
 take in your calculations. Nearly four hundred voted. ."-Herbert Vivian in the Realm.
