Tbs races to come off at Suffolk Park to-day were
wvatKr"1 UDUl ,0sm0rr?w? 00 ?CCOUI?t of the wet
NATIONAL JOCKEY CLUB.
Wasrixcitox, May 16, 1878.
The Inaugural running meeting of the National
Jockey Club, which was to have commenced at the
Washington Driving Park to day, has been postponed
until to morrow on account ot the unfavorable state of
me h oi(u6r>
THE MUSTANG RACE.
This event, announced to take placo at Fleotwood
Park, was postponed at an early hour yesterday morn
ing until to morrow (Thursday). The principal reason
assigned for this cbango of programme was that the
weatbor promised to be stormy, and a "good day and
track *? were demanded for the trial. As It turned
oat, the day was particularly suitable for tbe attempt,
and It will be a long time' before another better
adapted for both mustsngx and rider will be obtained. I
It was also advised tbat the weatbtr was not altogether
to blame lor the carrvlng over ol the race, inasmuch a*
tbe Society lor tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
had obtsined warrants of urrest lor all tbe parties con
nectod with tbe event. Bo this us it roav, tbe race
will certainly come off to-morrow, or so it Is said i>v
the manager. Large delegations Irom the city went up
to Fleetwood In the eariy morning trains vesterdnv
but were compelled, to at once return, leeiitig more or
lese disgusted. ?n0(|" Parker will rido the musUngs
.nplaceol Frank Hevetia, who waa flrst picked out
nJr?K- 1 ' powers of endurance are well
spoken of by hig hnrdy companions.
A LUCKY JOCKEY.

Tho Hudson la tbo largest and finest steamship of tho

during which New Orleans will acbievc a higher pitch
or prosperity tban she could have ever otherwise

Tin- agent of tbe Cromwell line?our public-spirited
fellow citizen, Mr. Allrod Moullou?deserve* much
credit lor having ordered tbe Hudson to come through
the jetties. He haii thereby demonstrated his fttith by
hi* works, and ha* proved very conclusively thitt,
whatever else mny be said of tbe jetties, they aro deep
enough and wide enough and wile enough lor In*

it I* sale to predict thut other steamers will follow suit,

availability lor purpose* of navigation, lm?, we learn,
I telegraphed to New York to have the steamship New

passed, and ns soon as the call of the chairman com
menced "ie brokers one and all silently stole away,
and not a solitary man was left lo bear tbo speaker's
call 'I he Exchange was as deserted as on a holiday,
and this is brokers' fon.

services occupied the lime until half-past one P.M.,
when a recess was taken for lunch. Bishop Smith, of
the diocese of Kentucky, ihe presiding Bishop of tho
Protestant Kpiscopai Church In the United Stales, was
preaent and assisted In the services. Ho la rery Iccble
III body, but hi* voice la strong ami givea Indication* of
groat power when be was a younger man. He la now
about eighty-live years or ago, and resides altogether In
Hoboken, N. J. An Assistant Bishop attends to tbe
uflTairs of his diocese. Mishap Smith was assisted in
the services yesterdsy by Drs. C. R. Hall,
Schenck, Diller, i'addock, Snlvely, Johnson and nearly
a dozen otlior clergymen from Brooklyn churches
and from Interior parishes. Dr. Schenck, of SL Ann's,
preached the Convention sermon, which be foundod on
11 Timothy, lit., 1?the perils of the Cburoli In the
latter times. Tho I'oetur preached bH serinou proper,
with a few remarks on the absence of his biskop (Little
John), who expected to be present at tbia Convention,
but juot a* he was aUiut to sail he was aummonod to
Venice to the bedside of his son-in-law, who was siok
and subsequently died. Very touching references were
made to tins stllictlou of the Hishop and his fsml'y.
Ho will not be able 10 reach bouie now belore tbe end
of May or tho beginning of June. Dr. Schenck all*
made a brief reference to
TilK rOCSDATMM Or THI DIOCBSB
of Long Island in l*os, at which time it seamed to
soring into lusty life and has been growing ever since.
Harmony lias prevailed throughout all her borders;
peace hus beet within her walls and prosperity wtlhis
h?r palaces The consecration of eft. Hani's Protestant
Episcopal church in Itoniu, almost under tbe
shadow of tho Vatican, by Bishop Liltlejohn, Dr.
Schenck considered oue of the greatest triumphs of iba
Christian civilisation of tno age. Ten years ago private
chapels would not bo germtlled within the walls of that
city; and from thai vary Vatican ediots were sent
lorin against tho Church which has now planted its
banners within Us shadows.
lu discussing his text Dr. Schenck indicated cortali
perils which beset the Church snd tbo elorgy In tbes?
last nines. He sdmltted that In principle llio oll'encei
winch threaten the Cuiirch to day are very similar to
those whicb blackened tbe earth before the Flood. The
perils 01 these days are no greater than tuosu which
have gone before. Tbe dauger of to-day comes mainij
from tho abuse of the liberty we enjoy. W? have miles
upon an a?e In which the finest senso of high Christine
honor und cultivation ol conscience are lost, and tin
doctrloo that most prevails Is that of tbo Jesuits, thai
the end justllles tho means. The Doctor would nol
say, however, as many do, that thia la the worat age
tbo world baa known, uor is ubovo tbo average of the
best The perils of these days are no moro alarming
thsn thoso which havo threatened tbe Church In tltnos
post.
