Major Delmar made an assault on the track trotting record of 2:02, made last year by Sweet Marie, and failed. He tired perceptibly in the stretch. His time, 2:O5 1-4, is the best made by 6 trotter anywhere this year.
 Gen. Watts dropped heat of the Horse Review Futurity to Miss Dens- more by making a break when he was started for the lead at the half. He trotted all the way in the fourth heat and won in good time
 The Leading Lady was scheduled to win the two-year-old division of this futurity and was made to 1 choice over the entire field from which she won without apparent effort. The race for the place between Justo and Orc Lambert was keen.
 George c. and Angus Pointer were favorites for the 2:05 trot and free-for- all pace. Neither was ever in trouble. The middle mile by Angus Pointer in 2.0S is the fastest of this meeting. Lady Maud 0. got the final heat of the unfinished 2:09 pace from Elesis, 1 having to take a record of 2.06 IA to do so. There will be five races Friday and four Saturday.

OUR AMERICAN COUSIN.-Concerning
this play, known in the old days as
Our American Cousin" which Mr.. Soth-
Dundreary," the Washington Chronicle
in 1870 said:
I'VE never witness Sotherns inimitable
presentation of Lord Dundreary with
out being negatively reminded of the late
Artemus Ward. Upon being asked to fur
nish sketch of his career for publica-
ton, the humorist, referring to the re-
ligious belief of himself and wife, said: I
am an early riser, but my wife's Pres
byterian.' Dundreary says many things
which are equally as disjointed in thought
and as ludicrous III expression, and many
other things which appear as disconnect-
ed but upon moments reflection show
therGs ~ to have an enjoyably logical
foundation. At times syllosisms are per-
feet in all respects except that of state
ment. but the absence of this quality con-
veys the reasoning to the auditor twice as
forcibiy and ten times more humorously
than is presence could have done. The
extreme 1rollery Of Sothern's PRESERVATION
rests IN the expression of perpexity, an
noyancp o. establishment which his face
wears when the audience is convulsed
with laughter, and the actors themselva IS
