8 THE SPORTING WORLD, Two Txoellent Turf Events at Dexter Park Yesterday Afternoon, American @Girl Dofeats Ripon Boy and Hattio Gets Away With Topsoy. Fall for a Meeling of the Chicago Base Ball Assoclation, THE TURF. YESTERDAY'S MATINEE AT DEXTEL PAAK. Thero wore two good trotting matchos ar Dox- ter Park yostorday aftornoon, but the attendanco was rathor discouraging to thoso who got them ap. Thoey woro witnossod by nbout 800 poople, o small few of whom woro Jadios, nud wherever one of tho Inttor could be discovered thoro also ‘could & toam bo found, Tho romaindor of tho audlence oither belonged in tho vicinity of the -track, or renched it with tho sesistance of tho railrond and stroot-cars. ‘The small attondsnco cannot bo wonderod at when tho distrossing hoat of the doy is ramembered. ‘Tho tun’s rays were 28 onfoebling on tho track ag thoy wore in tho crowdod stroots of the city, and though & st ‘broeze blew, it contributed nothing to the com- fort of tho dusty and porspiring apoctators, Tho ,vport began promptly a¢ 8 o'clock, and by sand- wiching tho heats of tho two racos, was goue through with by 6. Mesars. Borry, Watxol, and Lane woro the judgoes, but thoir judicial minds wero not sovorely taxed by either of tho races, 18 the drivers did tho fair thing toward each sthor from start to finish. THE YIRST NACE called wny tho catchwoight match botweon the votoran trotter American Girl and the bay stollion Ripon Boy, which was for 8300 a side. Tho formor carried 165 pounds and tho Iatler 125. It is surprieing how a young man of such light muscnlar devel- opment aa the driver of Ripon Boy can handle the unxaly little brute and do it succossfully, but it is novortheless doubtful if o heavier man conld mako him bebave any botter. Several pools wore 80} on tho race, American Qirl being the fayorito belore tho first heat was trotted’ at tho rato of four to one. Her price at times rangod betwoon $100 and $200, but, genorally apoaking, it wns bolow tho former figure. Tho odds wero given on her on the stremgth of tho rumor that Ripon Boy waa sulky in his morn- ing work, aud rofused to show anything like his ordinary speed. The stallion’s backers, on tho other hand, belioved they stood a good chance to win becauso the mare was “oft” whon she appearad horo last, and for the reason that sho barely saved herself in o race with the Boy at the Joliot mosting. They were never more mit- talcen in thoir lves, Amoricon Girl, though in need of worls, camo on tho track in good shapo, and won the race in threo siraight heats at a comfortablo gail each timo, Ripon Boy, on the contrary, wns not in fit train to meet such an opponent. Lo behnved badly in evory heat, breaking froquontly whilo scoring aud aftor starting, and trotting with a hitchivg stop when- svor ho did trot. Following is a synopais of the race: Firat Heat—An oven start was effected at tho second attempt. Botl borves left tholr feet just s they pass- &d the wire, but American Girl gob down first, snd captured tho pole befora tho turn’ was reached. Sho constantlyincrensed hor lend, and at tho quarier waa fully four lengts in advanco, Going up the back stretel Ripon Loy showod o fing stoady gadt, but it was unavailiug Lo decroaso tho old mare's advantago, At tho half-mile polo sho was five longths ahiead, oud pro~ essiug with thoso casy sirides for which ‘sho 18 60 justly colebrated. This lead was maintained sround he upper turn, but at the turn for Lome Ripon Boy reduced it by obout & length, snd in this way they ot uador o wire. - Tiutg, %:25, The quict Jog. ia which Amorican Girl passed tho stand indicsted that tho heat could Liave bocn trotted by hor in 3:22 at least, If thoro had been nny necossity foF 1t Second Ieat—Ripon Boy behaved ‘very badly while scoring, sud threo inellectual attempts wero made bo- foro o send-off was given, Even then tho stallion wus off Lis feet whilo going under tho wire, e got down fmmediately, Lowever, and both horses went away oveuly, ond’ kept 60 around tho turm. At the quatter polo Ripon Doy noso wus at ihio marc's whicel, but a3 #oon as they siruck into tho stralght roxd, the littlo fallow pickod up, and they went slong hend and head for fome thuc, Boforo reaching tho hlf- mile polo, which waa_secomplished in 1:113f, the stallion mado a skip, and lost somo ground, ~ Andther skip on Lfs part after tho polo was pasaed injured him again, and tho maro weut around tho upper turn abont t#01éngths in advanco of bim, Tlo showad falr speod tiowover, coming dow tho liomo streteh, catehing and Lioldiug tho Girl oven until ho stumblcd sud lost hin goit. Tho maro then passed him, aud won tho heat by 3 longth, 283, Third Heat—Thoro was 1o recall ot the third at- tompt, tho start being a fair ono, Tho stallion broko with_aistreesing frequency beforo tho quarter polo was roached, hut maunged novertheless lo-keop pretty. cloo behind tho old vetoran, For a wonder, the lattor lott er feet going up the back strelch, but sbo lost nothing by tho mistako, At tho half-mile—time, 1:12; —sho way longth {n front, “Then whe lot ol nii tho result was thatat tho turn eho wna somo_threo leagtha in ndvance, nnd golng well, ‘There ia nothing furthor to bo #aid abont” the heat, except that Ameri- caa Girl was abont thres lengihs all the way down the home streteh, Tine, 2:25%. suMAANY, Dexren Pang, Cmicaao, 1il, July 10, 1878,—~Trot- ting matcl for « stake of $1,000, best throo i Ave, to torness, William I, Lovell's b, m.

From the Pittaburgh Telegraph, July 14, The Constitutional Convention is struggling with the articlo on lailronds, and has materially amonded it pince It was adopted in Committeo of tho Wholo. On Friday thore was a protracted discussion over the section prohibiting railroads ongaging in the business of wining aud manu- faoturing articles for trausportation over their lines, After voting down & number of amend- monts tho section passed second reading as it camo from the Committeo. It not only prohib- its rallrond corporations from ougaging in min- ing or manufacturing for transportation oyer their own lincs, but prohibits them from ougaging in ooy othor business than that of common earriors, or holding or acquiring lands oxeopt such as may be nocossary for thelr business. This was ndustm] h{SB to 88, A now scction was also sdopted, prolubiting, tho ofil- cers, agonts, or umxloyua of railrond companios from being éngaged or intorestod in the traug- portation of passengora or froight ovor roads ownod, controlled, or lossed by the company with which thoy are connocted. 'This is aimed at tho abuses of tho fast-froight line system—tho wheels within wheels of 8o many railroad cor- porations, It was adopted by 60 to 20. Tho soc- tion prohibiting discrimination in charges againat tho paoplo of this State, requiring that no higher charge shall bo mado for o short dis- tance than a long one, and prohibiting spocial rates and drawbaoks, was dobated at longtl, and has not yot boon finally disposod of. ‘Tho rail- road pooplo aro yory anxious to have this scc- tion modified. Mr. John Prico Wetherill, of Philadelphia, in support of Lis motion to strilko out, gave their viow of the question as follows : 4o waid that undor the prosent through rates of 40 conts por 100 pounds the section would ‘mako freights from Harrishurg to Philadelphis 4 conts, aud from Philadelphia to Laucaster 3 conts por 100 pounds, which would bo simply ruinous to tho company so charging. Agein, undor the provision for extra charges for dig- tances of 50 miles, whilo the rate from Phila- delphia to Lancaster would bo 8 conts per 100 pounds, it would be 25 conta B 100~ pounds for {rolght 10 milos hin side of Lancastor, or whatover just aud liboral rato tho railroad might obarge. ‘Tho un- rensonabloness of tho seotions would be at once apparent in ita appsrent discrimination against the intoresta of localities. Tho popular dissatis- faction occasionod by a similar law in Iilinois, whore tho railroads In the intorior had boen compolled to increase thoir local ratos 80 largely that tradoe in many instances had boen absolute- Hl driven from tho Btato for tho benefit of o competing linca of other Btates; tho consoquent onhancomout of the value of land on tho Eastern lino of Illihois, nud ite rapid dopreciation in the contral sectlon—had awakonod the farmors thoro to their dangor, and they wore domanding the repeal of the law, T'he City of Chicago had thus been injured, the the speaker was informed, to_the extent of ton ortwelve cars of grain per day. ‘Tho spoaker proceoded to show that, in its applicability to tbrough and local rates, the rule of tho soction would be alike disastraus to publio intorests.” Bovoral delogates in their speoches madoe at- tacks on the Pennsylvania Railroad for its un- imst discrimination against citizons along its ino, by chargiug higher ratos for a shortor than ulougPdlutanw; thus, the tariff for soda ash from Philadelphia to Bollofonto was in_oxcoss of the rate to Pittsburgh, and the freight ona carof wheat from Chicago to Huntingdon was €40 or 60 gronter then to Philadelphia, Ex-Qoy. Ourtin uefonded tho railrond wlnpnu{ and olaimed tho saction, if passed, would hiave no effeot, innsmuch as by thoir charter that company had the right to cliargo 8 cents por ton per milo, and thoy bad nover como up to_ thoir moaximum, o lield that these local discrimina- tions wero rogulated by tho laws of trado, and that theso Isws could not bo porverted or intorforod with by constitutional aud legislative onactments without detrimont to tho publio at large. With reforonce to lower rates for citi- zenw of othor Statos, made necessary by our competition with rival lines for tho Western traflio, ho conld not uuderstand why our own pooplo should complain becauso their beof and hoir bread wore thus secured to them at chonp rates, Mr. Wetherill'a motion to striko out tho re- striction on freight ohargos was rejeoted by 38 t0 48, but the question was bram;bt up in anoth- or shape, and ia not yot disposed of.
