THE NEW YORK SUN.
The New York Sun, since it passed into
the hands and under the control of Charles
A. Dana,'llas become one of the best and
completest neWspaper establishments in the
country. . '
THE OLD AND NEW JOURNAL.
The contrast between the present flesh-
looking, neatly printed, interesting journal!
and the little, dull, dingy sheet isshed by
Benjamin H. Day in December, 1833, is as
marked as the contrast between the old build-
ing in William street, where the newspaper
luminary rose, and the large and handsome
structure in which it now 'Shines from the
zenith Of success. .
Soon after the establishment of the Sim
.\ Mr. Day transferred it to Moses H. Beach,
from whom Mr. Dana purchased it, and with
Whom it has been indentified for more than
thirty years. Mr. Beach seemed particularly
qualified to publish a penny paper in the in-*
terest of the laboring classes; for when he
_ sold it a few years ago to Messrs. Church &
Conant, they lost $30,000 by it in a short
time, and were glad to sell it back to Mr.
Beach at much lower rates than they had
bought. Mr. Beach prospered with the Sun,
after resuming its proprietorship, as he had
before, and realized’ a handsome fortune from
its publication. He retains an interest of
$25,000 in the paper under its new manage-
ment, but has nothing to do with its direc-
tion; having retired from active journalism
afler an industrious life of usefulness.
The Dana Sun, as it is now called, to dis-
tinguish it from the Beach San, retains little
more than the name, and by that will be
mainly recognized as the daily so long issued
from the ancient corner of Ann and Nassau
streets. The Sun, ever since we can remem-
ber, was a well prepared and readable com-
peud of the news of the world ; but
it never approached its present excellence
until Mr. Dana became its editor-in-chief.
Now, as then, it is independent—democratic,
in the true sense Of that much-abused adjec-
tive, and devoted to the best interests of the
people. But its ability has been increased,
its tone elevated, its field broadened, and its
value enhanced. It does not pander to the
prejudices of the working-men, which is
quite as bad as to play the sycopant to' the
rich, but aims to educate them, and reveal to
them their truest and best concerns—a high
mission it will certame fulfill. One can find
in the Dana Sun, briefly and clearly and
forcibly expressed, the latest intelligence
from every quarter of the globe, deliberately
formed and sagacious opinions, and valuable
comments on all existing aspect of affairs.
THE NEW BUILDING AND OFFICE.
The Sun is now the property Of an associ-
ation, the stockholders being some of the
Wealthiest and most influential of our citi-
zens, who have chosen Charles A. Dana,
himself a. large stockholder, editor-inchief,
manager and director of the enterprise.
The new concern seems to have been for-
tunate from the first; having bought the Old
Tammany Hall property on such favorable,
terms that it was, a few months after its pur-
chase, Ofi'ered abonus of $75,000 for its bar-
gain.
The location could not have been better,
being within the. sacred precints of Printing
House Square, and convenient and configu-
ous to all the places of public and commer-
cial importance on the island. ~ The space
between Canal street and the Battery and the
East and North rivers is well called the
counting house of the continent, and the
present Sun Office has one of the mottle-
sirable desks in that vast counting house.
The first intention of Messrs. Dana dz Co.
was to starts. new paper; but, learning that
the Sim was for sale, they very wisely pur-
chased it, with the privelege of the Associa-
ted Press, for $175,000—4a large sum of mon-
ey, but one they could not have invested to
more advantage. Experienced journalists
need not be told what an entirely dead
weight any new journal, however great its
merits, is compelled to carry for years, and
» what Superior conditions belong of necessity
to a paper whose continuity of existence is
an accomplished fact.
The capital stock of thc.Sun is $350,000,
all paid in; but the property it represent is
probably worth twice the sum, and will no
doubt yield and interest of twenty to thirty
per cent. per annum on the investment, so
soon as the nery-fitted vessel is fairly in
mid-ocean.
Old St. Tammany himself, if he should in-
dulge in an avatar would not recognize Tam-
Slm Office, as it stands, is a plain and unpre-
tending, but one of the best 'and most sub-
stantial buildings in New York, with all the
latest improvements of a first-class printing
house. From press room .to composing de-
partment it is complete; Mr. Dana and his
good man Friday, England, having person-
ally superintended the remodeling and fitting
up Of the admirable office. 'It has been said
that Mr. Dana knows every nail that was
driven into the building, and gave orders for
its direction and the force that should be‘ex-
pended upOn it—a facetious hyperbole to ex-
press the earnestness aud conscientiousncss
of that gentlemen’s directions.
THE PUBLISHING AND EDITORIAL margar—
MENTS.
The counting room or publication Office,
about twentyjfive by eighty feet, is on the
first floor at the cornerof Frankfort street,
with all convencies and comforts for the con-
duct of its particular business. It is under
the direction of A. H. Byington. formerly of
the NorWalk (Conn) GAZETTE and New Ed-
ven Palladium, and late of the Waishington
’stuti' of the Tribune. He is thoroughly com-
petent, and understands publishing in all its
branches; having for years served in the dif-
mally Hall in its state of reconstruction. The '

CGSS. ‘
The editorial rooms are-four in number on
the third floor, the front room being the sanc-
tum of Mr. Dana, and the other three for the
editorial writers, newsman, reporters, etc.
They are the best editorial rooms in the city;
indeed those Of the other dailies bear no com-
parison to them for ventilation, light, adap«
tibility and comfort. The regular members
Of the staff are James W. England,managing
and city editor; Thomas Hitchcock and
Charles S. Weyman, editOrial writers; and
A. H. Almy, financial editor.
Charles A. Dana has a national reputation,
not only as a journalist and literary man,
but as the principal editor of “ Appleton’s
New American Cyclopledia," and the Assis-
tant Secretary of War under Stanton. He
was for fifteen years managing editor of the
Tribune, which has never, since his with-
drawal, been so able or interesting as during
his administration.
Mr. Hitchcock is a gentleman of fortune
and high literary attainments, who went in-
to the Sim con amore, and truly loves the la-
bor ofjournalistic composition. lie is the
editd of the New firusalémillessenger ; has
had all advantages of domestic and foreign
travel, and is one of the most graceful, and
at the same time vigorous writers on the me-
tropolitan press. His habits of mind and his
intellectual-tritium g have excellently qualifi-
ed him for his present vocation, as his able
editorials, so widely read and copied, super-
abundantly attest.
Mr. Weyman is also a gentleman ofmeans
and a journalist from taste and election. He
did much of the literary work for the Cyclo-
pedia ; has a profound acquaintance with
men and things no less than books and creeds
and writes and compiles Willi an instinct and
aptitude til’ are rather born than cultivated.
Mr. Almy understands flaring and political
economy thoroughly, and selection for
the position he so well fill , an evidence of
Mr. Dana’s almost proverbial knowledge of
the mutual fitness of men and places.
TEE MECAIINICAL DEPARTMENT.
The book and job Office, on the fourth
floor, is furnished with the newest and best
machinery, and cannot fail to delight any
practical printer.
The composing room is on the fifth floor
(under the roof, which is Of the high Man-
said sort), and extends over the whole build-
ing. The numerous objections to most com-
posing rooms cannot be made to this, which
is well lighted from three sides, well ventila-
ed, and so admirably equipped thatit has no
superior if an equal, in the country. The
fittings of this department are countless, and
all of the best patterns. The fonts of type
‘are copper-faced and in such plentiful supply
that three full forms could be set without dis-
tribution.
THE STEROTYI’ING PROCESS.
‘Tlic sterotyping department contains the
latest and most approved apparatus, and is
conducted by five sterotypers, with assis-
tants. They work With great dexterity and
facility, as niay be seen from the fact that not
more than» twenty minutes are required to
make the plates of the four pages Of the
paper.
The sterotyping process, though very sim-
ple, is little understood. Soon as the form
is brought from the composing. room on the
tables, furnished With castors, is carried to
the moulding tables, which are hollow, and
heated with steam. When the proper tem-
perature is obtained, the form is removed to
the imposing table, and several sheets ofpre-
pared paper are beaten down upon the sur-
face of the type. Then another and heavier
sheet of paper is placed over the first, a wet
blanket covering the upper, and the whole
put under the press attached to the moulding-
tablc. The impression is made at once, and
the paper comes off a perfect matrix of the
whole form. A preparation of chalk having
been applied to the paper, and e hot metal
poured into the mould, the stcrotype plate is
immediately formed. The plate is removed
to the plainer, where it is trimmed and justi-
fied, sent to the press-room, and the journal
worked ofl'. '
TIIE PRESS-ROOM.
The press-room is in the basement of the
Sun establishment, and contains a six cylin-
der Hoe press and two of the new machines
known as the Bullock presses, The Bullock
press prints on,botll sides simultaneously, as
many as 15,000 sheets per hour—at least it
claims to do so—is self feeding, and delivers ‘
the papers in perfect shape and ready for the
carrier. ‘
The establishment is furnished with two
of Roots tank. engines Of sixtyhorse power,.
which are very compact and said to excel _
all Others in convenience, safety and efficien-
cy.
succnss on THE JOURNAL.
The Sun "Ofiice’is doing better, we tinder-
stand, than the most sanguine anticipated. _
It has a daily circulation of about 50,000 V
copies, which is steadily increasing. Its
management is all that can be desired at
present; blit'tll’e paper will be improved as
time goes on', and its value and influence aug-
mented. It is already a formidable rival to
the heavier quartos; and there is no reason-
able doubt that the Sim will realize vast
wealth to all who adhere to its daily lighten-
ing fortunes. It is the journal the people
like and need, and is so ably conducted (a
number of well known writers contributing
to it), that it has become a favorite with the
cultivated and prosperous as well, and is
rapidly making itself one ofthe indispensaa
ble requirements of the much wanting me-
tropolis. 1.

The Turf and the Trotting Horse
In America.
[Continued from last war/r.) .
Lady Sufi’olk’s day was hardly over before
a successor appeared who .was more than
her equal, whose career on the turf was
nearly as long, and marked by achievements
exciting equal admiration, and gaining her
even grcajer celebrity. The new light was
Flora Temple. She was fouled in 1845. near
Utica, New York, and was by One-eyed
Hunter, a son of Kentucky Hunter. She
was a little buy more, fourteen and a half
bands high, of thorough-bred, muscular form
and peculiarly qllick and nervous gait.—
'Wllen four years old she was sold for thirteen
dollars, and again for sixty-eight dollars, and
ultimately found her way to New York,
. where she soon became known on the subur-
ban roads as a trotter of unusual promise.
In the summer of 1850 she trotted her first
race, a half-mile, on the Old Red House track.
In the fall of the same year she trotted with
Delaware Milid, Whitehall, Napoleon, and
Hiram, winning in 2 nl. 55 s., 2 In. 52 s., and
2 m. 49 s. '
In 1852 she beat the horse Centrevillc in 2
In. 42 s.,aud this year she was sold again;
the price paid was four thousand dollars. In
1853 she beat Black Douglas, who had prev-
iously beaten her on the Hunting Park
Course, Philadelphia. In this race she trot-
ted a mile in 2 In. 31 1-4 9. Her races With
Highland Maid took place the same season.
This more was bred ill Orange County, New
York, and was Of the purest Messenger blood.
She was very powerful, and a great strider,
and was then, like Flora Temple, in the first
flush of what promised to be a brilliant ca-
reer. Their first race was in harness, and
came Off on the Centrevillc, Long Island,
Course, on the 15th of June, 1853. High-
land Maid won the first heat in 2 m. 29 s.,
and the second in 2 in. 27 s., which last was
the best time that had then been made in
harness. Flora Temple had pushed her an-
tagonist to the top Of her speed and the great
strain had told upon her. In the third heat
she gave out, and was distanced in 2 in. 32
1-2 s. The next race between them was to
wagons, and took place on the 28th of the
same month. In the first heat Flora Temple
got the lead, and maintained if, winning in
2 m. 28 s. The next heat was won by High-
land Maid in 2 m. 32 s. The third heat was
severely contested, and was declaredh. dead
heat. The fourth was won by Highland
Maid in 2 Hi. 33 S. But in the fifth and sixth
Flora Temple showed her superior power to
repeat by beating her rival in 2 m. 31 1-2 s.
This was a very severe race, and Highland
Maid,‘ not being thoroughly matured and
seasoned,.did not recover from it for a long
time. It raised Flora Temple to the rank Of
the first trotting horses of the‘country.
The next month she trotted'with Tacony.
This horse was bred in Canada, and had
trotted under the saddle in 2 m. 25 1-2 s.
The race was in harness, and was won'by
Taicony in three desperately contested heats
the time being 2 m: 28 5., 2m. 2'7 s., 2 In. 29.
The horses were immediately matched to
trot again two-mile beats in harness, the race
to come off in five days. Flora Temple won
easily in 4 In. 59 s. and ‘5 m. 1 8. 0n the
26th of July she beat Tacony again at Sara-
toga; and afterwards, in 1850, distanced him
in 2 in. 24 1-2 s., effectually> establishing her
superiority. .
In 1854 Flora Temple beat Lady Brooks
in four heals, and Kemble Jackson in five
heats, to wagons. The victory over this vet-
eran was only won after a terrific struggle.
It seemed hard for the victor over so many
courses to lay all his laurels at the feet of a
youthful rival. In November she beat Green
Mountain Maid and Rhode Island at Roches-
ter. After her return to New York she trot-
ted with Mac, an Old antagonist of Lady
Suffolk. She beat him easily in 2 m. 31 3—4
s., 2 In. 32 s., and 2 In. 33 5.
Not long after this race, Flora Templqbe-
came the property of James McMann, who
henceforth drove her in her principal races,
and with whom she is chiefly associated.
Her first appearance after this chan e of
ownership was in a race with Sontag. his
mare was by Vermont Hambletonian, a
grandson of Messenger, and a sire of many
famous trotting horses. In this race Flora
Temple was driven by Warren Peabody
(Hiram Woodrufi‘ had driven her in most Of
her previous races), and was beaten by Son--
tag in 2 m- 31 s., 2 In. 33 s., and 2 m. 35 S.
The loss of this race would seem to be owing
to the change of drivers, as the best time
made had been repeatedly beaten by Flora
Temple on previous occasions. She was
now matched to trot twenty miles Within an
hour, but was withdrawn after trotting
twelve miles. Like Lady Suffolk, she does
not appear to have been constituted for drag-
ging effort which is required for success in
such races.
It was in October of the year 1856 that
Flora Temple and the great Morgan horse,
Ethan Allen, trotted their first race. Ethan
Allen may well be the pride Of New Eng-7
land, for a finer built and more beautiful
trottcr was never harnessed. He had just
beaten Rose of Washington and Hiram Drew;
and this, with his easy and perfect trotting
gait, made many regard him as fully a match
for the pet of Long Island. The race came
off on the 5th of November, and was won by
Flora in two heats in 2 m. 32 1-9 s. and 2 nl.
361-2 s. It proved ,lliat Ethan Allen had
hardly arrived at the period of development,
' rO become sufficiently seasoned upon the turf,
to cOmpete with its mature and experienced
mistress.
Her first match in 1857 was With Rose of
Washington. This Messenger more was
bred by that veteran horseman, Smith Burr
of Comac, Long Island, and was a full sister
of Lady Woodrufi‘. Although she had been
beaten by Ethan Allen when four years Old,
she was now fillly matured and in prime
condition for the race. Flora, on the con-
trary, had only shortly returned from her
winter quarters, and had not had the work
necessary to put her in condition to trot with
a rival who had beaten Tacony 'in 2 m. 30 s.
and 2 ill. 31 s. that same season. . In addition
it was stipulated that Flora should draw a
wagon, Rose of Washington going ill har-
ness.* The result‘was that Flora was heat-
en three straight heats. Another race he-
, tween these two mares took place two Weeks
afterwards, with a different result. Flora,
in the mean time, had trotted with the Belle
of Portland, and had been worked into trot-
ting condition, and in this race distanced
Rose of Washington in the first heat. The
time, however, was not so goo‘d by one
quarter. of a second as the time made in the
previous race; and had it not been for’ the
early death of Rose Of Washington she might
have eclipsed her victorious rival.
After these races, Flora travelled about the
country, trotting for purses at various places
with Miller’s Damsel, 'Redbird, Lancet, and
Brown Dick. In 1858 she was sold t‘o Mr.
William McDonald of. Baltimore for eight
thousand dollars. The change of ownership
made no difi'crene in her trotting appoint-
ments, all of which continued to be made by
James McMann. She trotted with Lancet
at Philadelphia on the 8th of June, and at
Baltimore on the 8th of July. In October
she went West, and trotted at Detroit, Chi-
cago, St. Louis and other places. Among
her antagonists in these races were Hero the
pacer, Prince, and Reindeer. '
But it was not until 1859 that Flora Teln-
high position which she holds among later
trotting horses. She began the season that
year by beating Ethan Allen in 2 In. 25 s.
pie made the time which raised her to the'
Her races with Princess followed. Princess
was a very beautiful jlrotter. She was bred
in New Hampshire ; but had been in Califor-
nia, where she had trotted ten miles to wag-
on in 29 m. 10 1-2 s. The first race between
Flora and Princes was of three miles, and
was won by the former, after a hard pull in
in 7 m. 54 s. and 7 in. 59 1-2 s. The second
race of twd miles was won by Princess in 5
m. 2 s. and 5 In. 5 s. The third race of one
mile was won by Flora ill 2 m. 23 1-2 s.,2 m.
22 s.,,and 2 m. 23 1-2 s. - Although this most
cxtmordinary race was won by Flora, Prin-
cess had trotted so well that it was still
thought by some that she was the better
horse. In August a fourth race of two miles
took place between them, which was w‘on
by Flora in the Unprecedented time of4 In.
50 1-2 s. The time of the second heat was 5
m. 5 s. The two mares then made a trip to-
gether, trotting at Saratoga, Boston, Philaé
delphia, Baltimore, Chicago, and, on the 15th
of October, at Kalamazoo, Mich. In the
third heat of the race, at this place, with
Princess and Hmest Ansc, Flora trotted a
mile in 2 m. 19 3-4 s. The'news of this great
performance was received by telegraph in
the principal cities of the Union, and created
a general excitement. It was the culmina-
tiou of a long and brilliant career. Flora
Temple bcclme thenceforth an object of
public interest, and wherever she went was
regarded with the greatest curiosity and
favor. Before she returned to New York,
She visited Cleveland, and St. Catharine's,
Canada, winning races at both places.
Flora was now fifteen years Old. She had
been on the turf for ten years, during Which
time she had trotted over fifty successful
would seem that she had fairly earned a re-
lease. But such was not the fate in store for
her. Another great horse had made his ar-
pearanc", with whom she was destined to
fight her Old battles over again. This was
Gco_'ge| M. Patches. He was bred in New
Jersey, and was of Bashaw, Messenger, and
Trustee lineage. He had been beaten Once
by Ethan Allen, but had beaten Brown Dick
and Lancet; and trotted under the saddle ill
2 m. 25 1-4 s. He 'Was a large, powerful
horse, and every way worthy of his reputa-
tion as a trotter. His first race with Flora
took place on the 21st Of November, 1859.
Flora won the first heat in 2 m. 23 s., the
second in2 In. 24 s., and the third in 2 m. 24
s.; but this best, because of some irregularity
was given to Patchen by the judges. The
race was then postponed, on account ofdark-
ness, until the following day, but was never
finished. .
The second race between them took place
on the 6th of June 1860, and was won by
Flora in 2 m. 21 s.,2 m. 24 s., and 2 m. 21 f—2 s.
Hiram Woodrutf pronounces this the. best;
ofFlora’s races, and the horse that pushed
her-in it could not be other than very nearly
as good as herself. They afterwards trotted
a number of races at different places, in
which Flora maintained her place at the
head Of the trotting horses of the country.
In 1861 a new rival came from the West,
to put the undecayed powers of this wonder-
ful more to one more trial This horse .had
been, known as Medoc, but was now called
John Morgan. He was by Pilot, Jr., deriv-
ing Messenger blood from his dam. He was
a very strong horse,. and of great courage
and endurance as well as specd. He was .
matched to trot three races with Flora; the
first of one mile, the second of two miles, and
the third of three miles. In all he was bea-
ten;but in the second race he proved him-
self worthy to rank with the very besthorses
that had ever been pitted against Flora. In
this race he pushed her at every step, and the
two heats were the' best ever trotted in one
race ; the time being 4 in. 55 sfand 4m. 5 1-2 s.
Flora’s‘races with Ethan Allen and run-
ning mate remain to be mentioned. In these
she was beaten, but they are not to be con-
sidered in any fair estimate of the pewers of
the two horses. A horse trotting with a run-
ning mate is not only relieved of the Whole
weight of wagon and driver, but is absolute-
ly helped along, In these races Flora show-
ed undiniinished Speed and endurance,and in
the last heat of the last race was only beaten
by the team by it length, in her own best
time, 2 m. 19 34 9. She was now withdrawn
from the turf, and has never since made her
appearance in a public race.
In this sketch of the career Of Flora Tem-
ple, in which tllfintcresting “Reminiscenccs
of the Trotting Horse, by Hiram Woodrufi',"
published in the “Spirit‘of the Times,” have
been consulted, most of the first trotting
horses'of the country, of the twelve years of
her life on the turf, have been notfced.
During the period of her ascendency there
was a great development of the taste for trot.
ting, and the number of trOttimg horses had
constantly increased. During the past five
years that taste has become still more mark-
ed, and diffused over the whole country.
The number of trotting-courses has multi-
plied, until nearly every town of three thou-
attention Offarmers is largely given tO breed-
ing trotters; and the amount of money, care
and intelligence bestowed upon that one
branch of rural economy is almost incredi-
ble. In one country in the State Of New
York—Orange Countypn the Hudson—there
are millions of dollars invested in trotting
stock farms. At the Stony Ford establish-
ment alone there are'one hundred and twen-
tp-fivc horses of the Messenger blood. So
may fast trotters have consequently been
produced since, 1801, that it is possible,
within the limits of this article, to mention
only the most celebrated.
