THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, THE SPORTING WORLD. Why Racing is Unpopular at Dexter Park. The “Hoo-Doo"” of Vesterday an Unprofitable En- tertainment, A Calm Review of the Late Summer Meeting. Also a Review Which is Nefther €alm Nor Considerate, The Revival of Base~Ball in Chicago---What is to v £ Be Done. Deteiled Account of the Great Uni- versity Race, THE TURF. TESTERDAY'S MATINEE AT DEXTER PARK. The gentlemen who hisve control of the tracks at Doxtor Park aro unablo to account for the fuct that thoy cannot draw onough people to a raco to mako it pay, but the reason can bo very cnsily explained. In tho first place, it is gen- erally understood by the publio that tho gontlo- men who have control of the tracks at Doxter Park ore not the proper persons to entor to tholr tastes in racing mattors; and in tho second place, Tug TrIUNE, which is road by overy por- #on of social atanding in the city, put its foot down on tho practises that were indulged iu during tho rocont moating by thoso gentlemen. Thisls a suftlolontly cloar explanation of the renson why the Doxtor Parle racos don't pay, If tho gentlomon who Liave control of o tracks ab Dextor Park havo any care for the futuroof turf sports in Chicago, thoy will relinquish their olnims. Thoy ought to underatand by this time that they are not in good odor among the people whom: thoy most dopend upon for support, and tho most gontlemanly act they can porform, un- dor the ciroumstances, would bo to withdraw in favor of those who can masnnge the Park to tho natisfaction of tho press and tho public. Thero was protty fair amusoment on tho track yostorday anfternoon, but the attondance was not sulliciontly large to dofriy tho oxpensos. Similar attractions under othor managemont would call out at lenst 2,000 paople, for tho weathor and tho roads wore favorablo, TUE FINST RACE wan a trotting match; best throe in fivo, for a stako of #300. Tho startora wera Topsy, Bob Huntor, and Ella Thorp, tho first-named trotting to wagon, aud the other two going in harness. It was expocted that Hattio would trot as adver- tised, but was withdrawn on account of auother raco made batween hor and Topsy, which is to occur an Tucsdny. Topsy was the favorite against tho field in tho pools, and her porform- anco in tho raco juatified tho expoctations of her backors, Sho won in thiwce straight hoats, which were trotted without a break of any kind, Tuuter and Thorp added nothing to their repu- iations, both of them boheving badly at . critical times in tho ~ bheats. The ecoring for the frat heat was so tedious thut the judges, aunoyed by the delay, finally govo the “Word whon_ tho Liorsos werd on_any- thing but an even !onl'uJF. took the pola immodiately, aud kept the lead the mile through. At tho helf-mile pole sho wns fully twenty lengths in ndvance of Hunter, who in turn 1od B Phorp abouk tho tumo distanca, It was expected that thoy would bo shut out, but they saved themsolvos by good stopping ab the upper end of the back wtrotch and around the boud. Topsy won casily by four longths, Hunter being second, sud Thorp third, Tho Intier behaved badly through the hoat. Timo, 2:87, Tho second hent was moroe interesting. An evon atart was offected, and tho horaes kopt well togetheruutil thoy turnod tho corner, Thorp and Hunter thon lelt their feet, and Topsy wont abead. At tho quarter sho whowed six longths in front, and beforo tho half wns reachod this lead was Inoreased to filtcenlongths, Tho othor horses broko froquently and were altarnately ahead up to the turn, whore they wont togethor . and closed in on the leader. Coming down the stolch, Thorp mado good upaod, callaring Topsy. o would have won the heat but for two skips inside of tho distauce flag, which allowed Topay to go undor the wiro a witmor by two longthu; Huntor, & poor third. Timo, 2:35%. A goo doal of 'timo was wasted in scoring for the third beat, but a decent start was finally secured. Topsy went ahead right away, aud maintained & Eond lead to tho upper turn, Going around tho ond Thorp and Hunter put in their best *licks" with good effect, for nll throe enteret thohome- strotch pretty clono togother, The ... *ola for the hoat soomod to bo hotweon Topsy Al +u...], but the Iattor broko, and Huntor fook the soc- ond place.

Tho owners handled tha lines, and, by mutual consont, the * distanco™ rules wore ignored,—which was a lucky thing for Mr. Leo's snimal. Lady Brooks led to the home-strotch in the frst hoat, but broke there, and was passed by Bollo, a ateady trotter. Tho Iattor_won tho heat. 'Timo, 8:00%. In tho second hoat thoro was a_pretty raco between Lady Brooks snd Bello (Leo’s mare stood no show), The formor started off with the lead and kept it for a while.

THE LATE BACE AND TROTTING MEETING, ' the Editor of The Chicago Tribune;: Bmw: Tha striotures in your papor of last Hunday rogarding the managoment of the Doxtor Park Olub call for an explanation, and, beving 80 esoferio knowlodge of affairs bovand that of tho gonersl publlo, I bog your pormisaion to mako n statoment. I do not hopo to absolve the managomont ontircly from consuro’ yot thoy aro mado to bear burdens which rightfilly belong toothors to sustain, Not even the gontlemen baving tho park and its affaira in chargo will dony tho making of mistakes whioh woro beyond tholr powor to rectify, but tnat thoy erred through criminal or intoreated motives, no ono cou claim. ‘Whou the programmo was firat published, the tralnera and drivors of Now York and tho East hold thot the National Association Lad adopted rulos which wero not only antagonistio to their fntorouts, but degrading to tho profossion, ospo- clatly the ono whioh compoellod themn to drive a lorso at the mandato of the judges, undor ponolty of expulslon if thoy rofusod, Tho public sustained them in the position, and tho prowfuont trotting parks—Buffalo, Springfield, Uticn, andOlovel and—wore afrald to publish_thoir programmes until harmony was rostored, Chicago took the initintory by printing the first billof sport iusued in 1878, purposely mak- ing uo allusion to rules, and thus loaving thom untrammoled, 8till it was understood they sympathized with tho driyors, aud this, more than enything elso, fnvo tho movoment weight, nnd tho ogpnrl\lnlly o abtuin concosslons from Presidont Spraguo of the National Aspociation. X foll into the samo error, Herotoforo, I imagined tho good which ac- cruod from 'tho organization was, in n great moasure, counterbalunced by orroncous decis- ions, and the aseumption of arbitrary and dos- otic notions, while now I am confident that tho ntorosts of the trotting-turf” depend entiroly on its being sustainod. A hundred wrong deo- ciaions, sutocratto claims, favoritism, aud 1ncom- potoncy are nubhlng whon nomrma with tho rageality and high-handed ‘“ stonls” of thoso wha aro only hold in chock by n wholosomo dread of tho punishment 1t can inflict. Ihopod difforontly, I fancled that the drivers had at lengt bocome sonsiblo that their intorost was to be honest. 1 imaginod that, relonsed from the thraldom of a despotic rule, thoy wonld provo thomselyes worthy of taking rank’ with those of other pro- fossions, T was o littlo shakon in thia beliof when they werae willing to accopt a moneyed considarstion, and thal 260 was nll thoy asked to willingly woar the badgo of serfdom, Irated thom too highly. Iranked them somuch above the estimate thoy bnve shown to bo tho true onn, that I am ashamed of tho frankness—tho want of discrim- ination—tho lack of knowledge—my carofully- considered opiuion oxhibited. What I zated nsa ropor, manly spirit was & loopliole to favor fraud. Whnt I thought was n token that tho National Association had placed them in too low a acalo, °| and an offort to show thomsolves worthy of Dighor classiflcation, turns out to bo acunningly- contrived schomo to got an honest namo, that more might be made by thoir robbory. “'T'rust us,” thoy snld, *and we Will not do wrong. We do not want thio name of thioves by implication; wo aro Liouest and will show it it you givo us tho chance.” ‘The burglar does not ask you to loan him the koys of your anfos and vaults, o, ot lonst, takes o risk, andwe givo him somo crodit for bravery in the' bazard ; wo atlow him tho praise of doxterity in his skillful manip- ulations; we cannot hoip avarding com- mondations for Lis knowlodgo, and tha coolnoss which makes that knowladgoe servicoablo, Ho is & king in comparison with tho maun who prosti~ tutos the powers of a nobler animal, an emperor when placed in juxtaposition with the meauncst of all thieves,—the driverwho will not pormi this horso to win. And now, Mr, Editor, you may ask, What have these lLarsh words todo willthe managers of Doxter Park Club? In what mannor do theso expletives give abso- lution £ tho porsons Laviug (ho control of the tmmnqr As T havo heretofore stated, there was no al- Iusion to tho rules under which the meoting would bo governed. Tho annual dues were not Eflld. and honco Doxtor Park, without nctunlly aving withdrawn from the consideration, was hold to bo outaide of tho @qis of its power. Sympnthizing with the drivers, it was {ncitl concedod that, unloss tho breach was ropairad, harmony rostored, they would bs upheld in the contiovorsy, aud thoir causo cspousad. Tho partios intorosted claimed to appreclato tho kindness, and, in. roturn for the moral sup- port, would endeavor to aid nud assist by show- ing to tho world they were worthy of such sup- port ; that they would do nothing roprehensiblo, and their notions would be convincing proof of iheir fairness aud honesty. Congrogated, thoy at once formed schemes of traud and duplicity. Tho first * pool™ sold exhibitod the foulnoss of thoir intontion. Thoy counselod and vauniingly stated "¢ You canpot punish ua.” Thoy sought to ovorawe tho judgos, and scoflingly remarked, ' In endenvor= ing to imlix us you surrendered your strongth.” “Tho (Philistino are upon you, and your locks are shorn,” ““The worst thab can befall ys is ostracism from Doxtor Pasl; Clevoland, Buffalo, Utica, and Bpringfeld will 'wolcome us, Notwithatand ing your fiut, you are mmportant only on your own grounds,” Consoquontly schomo after schome was Inid, and when one was broken another took its place. Argus could not have watched all thoir moye- menta, whilo o thousand eyes would havo failed to doteot their misdoeds and those of somo of tho owners of horses which wore faking part in the games, Far bo it from me to elaim that all of tho drivera wora in this class, although thore were o uight propoction reudy to raud Uiomselves with tho lotter “ R.” Itis unfortunate for the honest ones to follow a pursuit which embraces 40 many scoundrels, and thoir safoly is in sup- porting tho National Association, and using every endeavor to have the uleers extirpated ero the wholo body become a scothing mass of cor- ruption. This is the only thing which will re- decm it. No glossing over, no ** whitowashing " will answor. o ig not & true friond of turf- sports who would hide the_ ovidenco of tho ras- cality of those who mako it a profession, Dub ho is o well-wisher who will aid in banishing {rom every courso in the Union those who make racing and trotting disroputablo; force them to the proper compunionship of thievos and va- grants, and rid the * royal sport® of thoir pros- once, With thom must go the * owners," who, in many instances, are still moro culpable, and, Dringing up the zeor, the pool-goller, who is the means of their fraudulont echemes resulting l’)romlhly, and the main incentive to thoir ruth- 08 robbory, ‘ Tho owner and pool-seller will furnish the cap- tlon of auother articlo, Rid of thoso stum- hllu%-blncku._l,hu turf will be easily managed ; and bigoted indeod is tho man who would rofuso his support when conduated without their do- moralizing influcnces.

Without protonding to decide any matters of fact a8 to how they woro carried on, will you pardon mo, eir, if I ask you how you supposed they would bo? | Tho primary object in racing, as in all othor species of gambling, is to make money ensily, and without returntug an equivalont ; and did you supposo that the mauagoers of araco- courso, whon thoy could make certain of their ventures, would fail to dogo? Horo was s time whon thousauds of people assembled to soo trials of speod and stoke their money on thoe rouults ; horsos weore brought from far and near; tho fame of mauy had precedod them to this city; their timo was known, and hed been carofully noted by those who expeated to bot on tho racos, and go far all wero on an equality, But who of all that crowd of spoctators had stood behind tho scones and know whothor & hor#e was to go on hia merits or bo &;cvbmud by tho will of lfiu managers, expressed by tho jookoy drivine?

All wore awaro that such things might ocour, but fow bo- lleved they would until tho proof wus furnishod in tho results of some of tho races, Now who shall sit iu judgment on thoso who mada cortain of their money?

Inan instaut tho olovon long, sharp-pointad bonts skot forward, and tho wholo surface of tho river from shoro to shoro was put in commotion, The Harvardand Yale bonts took. the load at onco, on the weatern gide, closely fol- lowed by Amhorat and tho Aggles, tho Iatter ‘sooming to suffor from want of roon, Yala and Ambiorst having olosed up on oithor sido of them, On the opposito sido of the rivor tha Wosleyans, Corneils, and Dartmoutha went shend, and Willinms, with hor substitute, was loft far bohind in tho middle, Tho crows pasaod the firat half-mile soction in two bunches, ono on each sido of tho river, with tho Wosleyans till bohind. ~Aftor this it was almost impossiblo to distinguish any of the crows, oxcopt those on tho wostorn side,” Bonidon tho confusion rosult- ing from 5o many bonts running togothor it hd bocome duglky undor tho opposite bank, and tho colors on that side woro pnunlpnll{ dntk. Tho crows kopt nbout tho snmo positions till tho renched the milo station, neor the Dartmout! quartors, Horo a clump of troos hid tho sixty-six gleaming oars from tho sight of tho hundreds who had rushed aftor thom from the astart. As thoy camo into viow of the bundreds below, a choor from overy thront grooted tho brown- backed crimson crew whoso boat's nose was shoved through the Iake-liko wator at o tesring paco. It was but a noso, howevor. On_ thoy oame. A crow was pressing thom hard. Bvery oye was straining to catch o glimpse of tho distinguishing haudkercluof, Tho darknoss was doopening fast, and tho cap was dark hued. “I¢s Yalel Horo's to good old Ya-alol” sang out & singlo voico from & blue- ribboned youth on the bank with o loaning ' body aud outstretchod o&un glass, Yalo it was, The intorest was too intonso, too broathloss, for aunother voice to broak tho stillnoss, All worc intont on tho fast approaching sholls.

Cornoll, who was on the enstorn sido of the rivor, spurted for tho chiannel to catch the currout and its furtlior- ing 0id, but sevoral of tho men eplashed badly, and the same tactics on Bowdoin's part, who wag noxt thom, lost them thoir water, The slolla came down &t & rattling pace, Bowdoin far over tho river, almost, if not_quife, in_lino with the Tarvard thon. Sl longths behind was Trinity londing Willinms, who had started their noxt noighbor by two longths. Wesloyan was pulling s long steady, tolling stroko, ocating up redually to Yalo, baviog left Darfmouth n ength_bohind, On tho® west sida of the Tier, gm nhoad of an imaginary line rune ning’ through Trinity's bow, was Amborst, who bad fallon badly in tho rear from the crab-catching above alluded to, led threo lengthg by tho Aggios, who were nearly even with Dart- mouth. Columbla was near tho centre, n tritlo in Dartmouth’s rear. In about this position they camo down to within a biscuit's toss of tho mlo flag drooping gracafully in front of tho orst hondquartora, At this point, which is somo distanco bolow tho half-milo post, Harvard was pulling thirty-oight strokos a minuto, and Yale tho same. The others woro rowing a littlo more nervously, and notably tho tail-oud of the lot was falling behind. A group of Amborat boys on thoir float sont up a denfoning cheor, Their pots wero bohind, bub the encourage- ment ran through thom scemingly like o oold chill, Capt, Drower, with the onormous ‘‘A" on lhis white shirt's back, seowed to reach over further and further. The stroke caught tho inspiration, and tho purplo and whito colors walked rather than crawled a boat or $wo nesror tho front. Cheer after choor roug out from the bank, Stendily they pasued the Afiginn and thon tho “duck,” until ag thoy went behind the next wooded point they wers Emanlng \Vosluinn hard. Harvard still Jod, Bho nd quickoned hor pace, though, to maintain hor adyantage noticeably, Yalo Lind not. Those Dluo-cappod boys were till pulling thoir stoady thirty-sight, “Tho rost followed 1n nearly tho ordor doscribed, Aftor they wont out of eight behind the miniature promontory slludad to, tho crowd scattored, and thoso fortunato onough to bo possossod of vohicles of some sort, ran thoir steods ot & racing pace for tho mnext opem, whoro & view of the river could bo ~ obtained. ~ This was about a quarter of & mile above the Mothodist piecopal quartors. Horo a number of mon and youths woro gathored watching intontly for the appoarance of the contestants, Boats wera fly- ing Lithor and thithor, and a littlosteamor passod down rapidly but unnoticed. Across the rivor the banks woro lined with parti-colored drosses and brown countrymen, and a long row of toams in the background, On the east side, both the ‘boach bolow tho open aud tho place itsclf where wera 200 paople, any, thero wascomplato silonco, From tho bank above the] swash of tho ripples on the boach made by the littlo craft that had just gone by was distinctly heard, agenta figurod in the button-holes and sround the hats of most of tho mascu- lino Fnrflnn of the crowd, but Amborst was plentifully, and Yale not scantily, reprosonted. A man with o glass gave the signal euddenly. A buzz of ** Which is ilz ?" and a shifting of posi- tious for othera nobetter followed, and the glass- lous orowd waited for a nearer view.
