the authority OF the United States How. then,

not forget that in August last he urged that the
United States should instantly withdraw from

his demand 10 that effect was refused. and he
practically acquiesoed in the refusal by subse-

We are not prepared 20 believe that SenOr

rROTTERs AND PAGERS AT SPEED.

The attractions of the Speedway should not
be overlooked among the influences which
draw pleasure seekers 10 New-York. Several
wealthy owners of fast trotters and PAGERS
have brought their horses here from Chicago
and other important cities. have bought stables
and have decided to spend a large part OF their
time i'm Manhattan to live here altogether.
because they delight i'm the recreation and ex-
citement which the good natured and friendly
but thrilling contests of the Speedway afford
them. The number of these eomers TO the
metropolis is steadily on the increase.
That broad smooth and well cared for drive
on the west shore of the Harlem is more po-
tent in allurement TO the men who are fond of
holding the reins over fleet roadsters than any
other similar stretch of ground in the Union.
On trotting tracks professional drivers usually
sit In the sulkies. On the Speedway the own
ers themselves take pride In handling their
horses. and several of them are so expert in
driving that they can hold their own with the
professionals. Little bitterness or jealousy
crops out NJ any time 70 lnjure the general
good feeling among the men who sit behind
the animals that meet In the Harlem Valley.
Nearly all of them are enthusiastic devotees of
a truly American sport. which was originated
and developed in this country
The success Of the Speedway has helped the

wage earners. Throughout last year, and even
in the winter OF this year. the number OF days
when the Speedway could he used freely has

And the popularity of this speeding stretch
has been proved impressively. not only by the
hosts of horses and drivers. but also by the
multitudes of eagerly interested lookers-on.

FORBES AND THE FLAG.

There was probably no prouder man in New
York yesterday than Christopher II. Forbes,
who raised the American flag at the Battery.
On all the days of the year except Washington's
Birthday and Evacuation Day Forbes is n
modest man and fills his place as guard on the
Third-ave elevated road TO the satisfaction Of
his employers. He is growing old. and his
enuneiation of the station names is not always
faulrless: bur he does the best he can. and his
cheerful ruddy face shows that he does not
mourn for better days past aud gone.
For many years Forbes. as the direct descend
ant of John Van 4Arsdale. who raised the flag at
the Battery the day when the British evacu-
aied the island performed the ceremony of
raising the Stars and Stripes. as his father had
