GOVERNOR HUGHES SUCCESSOR. The lieutenant-governor of New York. Horace White, who will take the place of Governor Hughes when the latter goes to the Supreme Court in Octo-lier, is not considered as apt to lie very enthusiastic in carrying Cm what have conic to be known as the-•Hughes irolicics." So far as the regulation of racing is concerned, he may be expected to be rather unsympathetic with them. I.ieutenant-Ooveruor White is a breeder of karjMft horses, an officer of. the National Trotting Association, and a promoter of th racing at the Syracuse fair. YiU.inly it is unlikely that he will exhibit 1 lie same keenness and earnestness thai characterued Mr. Hughes in putting through restrictive legislation even to the exu-nt of holdiug a special election in order to get the one vote that decided the disposal of his measures two years ago.
