LONDON. Feb. 16.-Although horse
racing is primarily an English institu-
ton. and IN many respects The English
claim TO be ahead Of anything In the
world, there are some points on which
the New York and other American race
courses can give the mother country
points, even in the sport of kings, &C
cording 10 American horsemen who have
had experience in both countries.
For example. in most OF the big
American races, the horses run so that
the spectators have the racers under
view for the greater part, If. indeed, not
the entire race. This is not generally
so on the English tracks.
A Case in Point.
On number Of the leading courses
here all the shorter races up to seven
furlongs are run up the straight the
starts IN some cases being effected out
of sight-while in an important event
like the Cesarewitch Handicap the
horses are lost to view for the first
mile and a quarter, and for the last
mile they are coming in a straight line
to you. And yet the Cesarewitch is one
of the best races of the year.
In the matter Of the Identification Of
the horses also, the English racegoer is
at a disadvantage The placing Of the
card number on the saddle blankets in
the American style has not yet found
favor with the British racing author
tiles, so IL is necessary to depend upon
the colors to identify the horses. To
the seasoned racegOer this IS easy
enough. but to the casual Tacegoer l. is
hard to keep UP with the racers.
Admission Is Higher.
In the matter of cost there IS no com
parison between New York and Eng
land. At Sheepshead Bay. for instance,
a s. note will pay car fare and admis-
sion with something left over. For
Goodwood IT costs 50 for fare, s. for en-
trance to the grandstand. $3.50 for sad
ding paddock, and s. for admittance to
Tattersall's inclOsurc. On Derby Day
at EPSON If you wish 10 secure a seat
in a box the charges are much higher,
and you then have a very poor view of
the racing.
In the matter of horses, in the num-
Der and importance of classic races, and,
It Is thought by many, in Craftsmanship.
England is ahead. but so far as the
comfort and pleasure of the raCegOer
lies the advantage undoubtedly rests
with America In common with the
Englishman in other walks of life, the
English turfman is conservative, and not
prone to make changes even when the
advantage is plainly visible.

commemoration of his fathers seven

man is still active and sprightly, and
goes about with more vigor than most
men of fifty or sixty.
An elegant supper was served by
the host and hostess, and the evening
passed most delightfully."-. The only
drawback was the Indictment weather,
which prevented the attendance of
some of the more timerous ones.

District School Papers.

1. Write a paragraph on the
causes of the Civil War.
The first general cause of the civil
war was the different construction
put upon the national constitution by
the North and the South. Some of
the people thought the constitution
meant nothing more than it said
and others thought that IL implied
things but did not state them. The
slave holders or southern people we're
stric: constitutionists, the northern
men were loose constitutionists.
Through this there was division be
tween the north and the south.
The second cause was the different
labor in the north and south. The
north was "A manufacturing section
and did not need slaves, the south
needed salves on the plantations. The
north thought the union should be
free from salves, the south that there
should be slaves to help increase the
wealth of the nation.
A third ca2se WAS the system of
transportation between the north and
south most of the railroads ran east
and west. This divided the two sec
tions and made but very little travel
between them, thus the people did
not GET acquainted vita each other.
A fourth cause was the ISSUE OF
sectional books, the different sections
issued books, lowering the other sec
ton. The protective tariff also
made division between them, help
ing the home manufacturing, or the
north, aud disadvantage to the
south. There are other sub-causes
as, the Omnibus bill, the Kansas.
Nebraska bill, the Missouri Compro
mise, and the annexation of Tens
and oesession.
2. How did Lincoln justify the
Emancipation proclamation
President Lincoln said that they
were fighting for the union and un-
less the slaves were freed the union
could not exist He said the eman-
cipation proclamation was "a neoes-
sary war measure.
A. What, in your mind, was the
most important move on the part of
the North in bringing the South into
subsection?
The blockade of all the southern
ports was an important plan in the
North. Through this the South was
unable to get exports from other
countries. 1t prevented them from
sending ENJOYS to the different coun-
tries, which might have resulted In
the confederate states being recog-
nized as independent states. BY not
getting supplies from other countries,
put them to a great disad vantage and
they suffered much from this.
