The loading "sensation " of the week, ays Mary Cleiuraer Ames in a letter to ho Brooklyn Arrus, is the phesidext's mw foue-ix-iiand. "Eead and pe-rtue"-M I heard an old gentleman say that he did his Bible- his desoriptive in a " local organ :" The President's nevv team, composed of four handsome bays, with gold-trimmód harness niade its second appearance on the avenue this afternoon. Very vvide and very white reins controlled hem, and the team surpasses anything of the kind ever seen hereabouts. Tho only thiug that ever camo up to it in Btyle was IIELMBOLD'S TUH'-OUT, With gold trimmed hainess also, whioh was here four or five years since. The horscs of the Presidental four-in-hand are all superior, anii it is said that the teaui can get over the turf at a threeminute gait. Two of the horses, the leaders, have done botter than this on the private half mile track, south of the Executive Mansion, on more than one occasion, at ono of which President Grant himself helS the ribbons." The President of the United States and Helmbold are the only men who have over driven four horses in gold harness with white ribbons, on Pennsylvania avenue. Helmbold is now a bankrupt in Paris. The President of the Unitod States jockeys on the avenue.
