Zo the Editor of The Chicago Tribuno : S1n: Hoving soon tho aunouncoment in iho columne of your very ablo journalofs second jproposod mooting, to tako placo at Doxter Parlk in October, may I, as a comparative strangor, ut old lover of tho noble sport of Lorsc-rcing, vouturo to polut out o fow minor dofects ap- paront at your last gathoring, snd whloh, in my ‘opinion, teud to mar tho attractivenoss of the gport. In alluding to somo notablo drawbncke, 1 trust I may not bo misconstrued. I donot do ®0 in any spirit of adverso criticlem, but solely that, attontion being directed to theso mattors, snd o corrootive applied, your noxt meoting may prove, what I sincerely wish to geo it, an uaparallelod succoss, Should my few obgerva- tions be deomed uncailed for or intrusive, I will claim, aa an * old wearer of tho ailk," tho in~ dulgonco of your sporting friends. Ihad boen awitness of somo of the contosts at your July mooting, and most favorably im- prossed with the trotting powers of tho coms poting horsos. But my pleasure, as woll, I am guro, ng tho intorest and pleasuro of most ' outs sidors,” was sadly marred Dby tho almost com- plotolimpossibility of distinguishing tho various horsos as thoyewept round tho track. A striped cap is all very well in its way, but should bo sup- plemonted by » jacket, g0 that ono could follow tho clanging positions of tho compotitors ata glanco, a8 well ag enablo overy ono to form o cor- rect iden of thooxact place occupied by his favotite during tho race. I would also add that woare nccustomed to regard racing gathorings 28 gay and festivo scencs, whero the principal actors should be proporlycostumed, and thereby, if for no othor purpose, 0dd to tho brillisnoy of the spectacle, If tho owners of the running horacs have not of themeolves suflicient prido in thoir stablen and surroundings to turn out their Jockoys in somothing like decont stylo, I would doptimotliod,forwhich theroisamploprecedont, tocompol them tosend thair boys properly drossed towoigh oul, and 1 would notallow thom to stark it they refusod complianco with the rule. It is gimply disgraceful to seo boys clad in boots' suitable for & Toxan * bullwhackor,” and breoches suggestive of bolng used for tow- cling horses for months before being cloanod for tho race-courso. As for the exerciso lnds, you cannot conirol thelr mastors, and we can only regret that o ¢ sporting owner” would not tako more miorest in the got-up of his boys. o seo theso poor bare-legged nnd hnlf-brocehied urching o8 thoy bestrodo thoir sorry-looking chargers, mado one regrot the abeence of tho trug typo of the sportsman who centres his pride nlike in_ ki horacs, lhis Doys, and his stable, Having scon somo of theee running horses, my surprisc that ruuning races wero not more popular wag at onco dispolled. Thero is much room, indeed, for improve- nient in that closs, and whoovor catablishes firat-clnss stud having that object in view will dosorvo woll of_the sporting community and the public. I would boro suggest to tho manage- wment that, it they intend to includo a hurdlo race in their programme, now is tlo {imo to do it, go that horaes can bo ‘“schooled ™ in antici- pation of such an ovont, or that ownors of such Lm-uon may bove timo to got thom fit, I would also 0dd to the programmo, and include in ovory forthcoming one, o raco for horses 'that have nover won in public, or started for a raco under S minutes, to bo driven by owners or gentle- men qualified by the managoment, profossional idrivers oxcluded.” Buch a race would "cronto moro intorest aftor a timo than any other. It would give owners of valuable horscs an op- portunity to displsy thoir powers, and mako sslo of them if 8o disposed. ltwould give gentle- ‘men a more lively intorest in tho sport, After o timo, race-meotings would not be so depondont on_professionals for uu})pon, nor would it ro- quire the prosence of a fow notable fiyers to at- “tract o gethering, With training and experence, tho " gent” will be ablo to hold his own with any professional, But, in ordor to do #o, he must tako ** the ribbons ® whenover his horso in being “sont along" at his work, and thoreby ac- 'quirzo & knowledge of his lomc's po ors, a8 well ns get some iden of *pace himself. Buch knowledge 18 indispen- eablo if ho wouldsucceed. But I am trespassing 100 much on your valuable space, and will con= cludo by addivg that anothor want much felt in tho Inst mooting was tho obsonco of o ¢ tolo- graph,” which should bo eupplied, giving the uante of each compotitor, and h{ ‘whom driven or ridden, a8 the caso mighibe. Shouldyou deem thio abovo worthy of publicity I might at a fu- tura date mako some other m:fgostlnns, which it strikes me might provo nsaful, HANKAWAY.

Louis, informing tho challengors that o club had beon organized, and accepting their thallengo to play. That match will take place to-morrow, at the base ball ounds, on «tho cornor of Twenty-third and fifm stroots, sud will undoubtedly be a brilliant Inauy tion of the now club so hastily formed. 1t {8 undaeratood that the visitors will come in gront strongthin ol respects, Thoy have the ndvantngo over the local eloven in tho practice which thoy bave been undnrgolnf. although ox~ perts who have hud an opportunity of witnessing tho form and stylo of our own cloven are by no mesns satisfied that Ohicago will hinye to suc- cumb to the little villago which _has beon 0 i lately . inconsed ab our looal Directory jcompiler.

Ho can soy with safety that ho has got out the most atiractivo printing over issued for a similar entortalument in this oity ; and an oxhibition of sound judg- ment in tho application of printer's ink is & suf- ficient indication that the playors, tho table, tho sudlence, and tho hell will be mado to harmon- izo.

THE RAILROADS. How tho Western Companies Aro Obsorving tho Pass Agreoment, The C,, B. & Q. Road and Shortage on Grain. Jackson’s New Passenger Dopot =--Soveral Notcs of Interest. It would bo interesting to know preolsely how« tho railroad companies aro obsorving tho pass ngreement. Tho question is ofton asked. Thero is considerablo uncortainty about tho matter. Tho chronio ** dead-hends,” who never paid ono \cont railrond fare, cithor personally or fox thoir frionds, find it very hard to coms down to tho common paying level, ond decline to do 8o with- out a desperato strugglo to rotaln their an- clent privilogo, Agaiuat such ocontingoncles the railroad companies fortifled thomsolves with formidable printed copics of the puss reso- lutions, which they forward by relurn mail in- stond of tho wonted money-saving documents. This stern resolvo has swelled tho number of anti-monopolists, who, all uomindful of the ionumerable favors previonsly recoived, ara nursing their wrath, intending, when oppors tunity offers, to mako tho audncious corporations smort. Tho revengoful timo wilt como with the reasgembling of tho Legisletures, whon all passod now outstanding will havo oxpired, with~ out cxtension or rencwal. Hitherto tho maoglo little * pastoboards” have bad considerable {nfluence in toning down tho nsperities of logislation. If the * courtesy " is withheld, the corporations may expeot somo rigorous troatment from the average politician. Tho ngreoment hus been kept vory much bot- tor than was anticipated. It was confidontly predioted that xival companies would suspicious- Ay watch oach other, and that, in cage of o single violation, oil partios would refuso to bo bound by it. Tho compnnics, howover, have not played the dotoctive, and tho result is, tho agrooment is in a8 binding force now as it wos when put into offact, The fact I, it works woll, and nono of the companies are disposed to break it. Btill, gome of them have lived “fi to it literally. In raro casos, oxceptions have been made ; but these were anticipaied by verbal underatanding, nmufh not cxprossed in tho writton agreoment. Xor instance, an influential ;mrty intorestod in o particular rofd or tho soc~ ion through which it passes, or a nlomber of the Cabinet, are passed in o spocial car sot apart for their uso. This will continue to bb done. It is » right and & privilego the railrosd companies will not forego. But tho wholesnlo distribution of pogses, W) crebfl overy Government employo, or atiacho of tho smallest conntry news- puper, ftraveled frco, is entirely stopped; ond wo have gomf authority” for stat- ing that, in this wholosomo respect, the agroemont Lins boon strictly observed, Tho ox- ingo courtosy hasalso been entirely abrogated. Tormorly, the Xastorn lines woro besioged with applications to pass the Wostorn railroad em- Y loyes dunng the summer montha, Now, as tho ines westward from Chicago declino to paes any ono, they cannot, consistently, ask o favor they will not reciprocato. Tho causm}ncnco is, thero havo this year beon considerably loss cheap East- orn tours made. Tho samo remark applies to ‘Wostorn trips. Prominent managors lave, for tho first time, ulmorlullg paid fare for thelr fam- ilies on oxcursionsinto Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Colorado, 'The chiefs thus setting the examplo, subordinates had to follow their paying lead, and, for tho samo reason, mnn{pusonu to whom tho companios wero under obligation have been successfully dirooted to the ticket-office, The reform s stondily progressiug. What tho railronds will do ot the ond of tho yoar is yed un~ dolormined, It is, howover, probablo that tho oxchango of annual passes will bo continuod among tho leading ofiicials, their traveling belng almost oxclustvoly upon rallrosd business, ropor way to manago billiard contosts, and, if | But ~tho ~mass of politiclns, Govorn- Rikiorad to, will 1a & short imo xodound to ‘tho | Ment oficers, aud Judges, who oo beneflt of tho gamo aud thoso who play it pro- |- courtosy many of thom novor approciato an fessionnlly, Ladies attending the coming match will moet with every attention, and it is Loped will witness fine “exhibitions of skill, Both Blosson and Bossunger aro playing romarkably wollvin their practico games, and it would not surprigo their frionds in tho least to soo cithor ono of them mako the largest push-barred avor- age on racord.

Now, John saw a horso and wagon, be- longing to ono Thomas Lyon, of No. 293 South Halstod atroot, ond he forgot that ho was not the proud owner of 80 handsomo o turnout ; in- dood, on tho contrary, liko Bmiler, ho Tad o socond thought, and quite distinctly re- mombored that Thomns Lyon's steed wns mot Thomas Lyon'asteod at al), but his own Pegasus, Ho_mountod upon the coach (used for hauling cabbages), picked up tho ribbons and dasho away on o moonlight ride down that charming bonlovard—Burlington streot. Tho Italians ro- glding there, hearing she aristocratio rumble of tho cabbage-wagon, and mislaking it for tho ontry of a procession of Oraungomon, sob up a wail of despair and yelled for the police, As Beano put on _brakes whon it was too late, 5o Johu didn't, Ho loosoned tho brakes,—that is, ho broke eyerything lying about looso,—und triod to oscnfie, when it wns oo late, from tho minions of tholaw, His fate waa goaled, Ilo ran into o Jamp-post and was spill- ed.

'Wo wont out to Slaymaker's in June, to spend thio summor, but wo hinve beon obliged to leave, Bloymaker fid 0 small stronm noar his house, from which ho used to pump water into the tank inhie garret. It occurrod to him some time ago that it would bo a good idea to put up a windmill which could do the pnmplnfi for him, 8o he built ono at o cost of 8200, Tho firat duy it began to rovolvo it frightoned Slaymaker's best horuo, 80 that it ran againgt tho fonce and was kLilled, ond the arms were #0 long that thoy nearly brainod Slaymaker'n oldestboy, whowas standing ‘beneath wateling the machino, whon it suddonly stopped work, and rofused to movean inch. Blaymaker accordingly pumped the tank full, and Just 88 he stopped tlio mill bogan to pump like fury. Blaymakor, in alarm, procured o rope and tied ono of tho wings to a treco., Whon the tank wae ompty he tried to make the windmill fill it nfuln, but the concern waa immovable. ‘Lhon Blaymaker waited for a couplo of weoks, and car~ ried tho water up to the houso in buckets, be- cause ho was afraid to fill the tank, whon tho mill might got to work at any moment. TFinally, aa thore scomed to bo no hope of the machinery ‘;oulnz all right again, ho did pump tho ank full and thon wont to bed, That night thero was tho fist hurricano over known in that mneighborhood. The windmill mado about four hundred revolutions & minuto, and loft tho bed of the stresm bolow it cum,}llfltnly dry, while it poured nenrly six hun- dre ?uons on hour into Slaymaker's garret. The boarders all swam ont the windows, and spent tho rest of the night in the barn, while Blaymnkor took to a treo, from which, at day- light, he had a magnificent viow of tho falls as thoy poured picturesquely from the attic win- dows, uvar{ minute or {wo bringing out with them a chair or & hair trunk, or "ono_of Slay- makoer's shirts, or a washstand, Mrs, Blaymakor wilt not clean louso this summer, but Blaymaker has o windmill that hois anxious to sell, ITa will probably closo it out cheap to a purchasor xl&z{ wants to take it away right off.—Mac THE LAND OWNER.
