16 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIDUNE SUNDAY, JULY 28, L THE REFORM ASSOCIATION. A Hunt for Its Purposes and Intentions. [nterviews with Gen, Webster, Messrs. Hunter, Dore, Etc. A General Disclaimer of Pol- ities. It Is to Be Chiefly a Social Affair, B And Free from the Bummer Element. A reporter was assigned yesterday to the duty »f tindivg out the nature and aspirations of tho 2ew organization known as the Citizens' Asso- ation of Chicago. It was apainfully uncertain wask. Just as be supposed he had come to the point it evaded him. Of course, the only person likely to know any- thing about the matter was EMERY A. STOBRS. A reporter sought Mr. Storrs, but failed to find 1im, a8 usual. At the office he learned that Jr. Stons wasat the ball-match ; at tho ball-grounds Mr. Storrs was jnvisible. At the Palmec House 10 was undiscoverablo. It 8o bappens that this omission of the par- sies—Storrs and the reporter—to meet and ex- \hange ideas was vory exasperating, 23 the fol- owiug varrative will show: After banting through the directory, and the pames attached to the constitution, tho reporter lound Mr. JOON A. HUNTER, rbo enlightenea bim to some extent. Reporter—2r. Hunter, I sm relieved to see row. Can you tell me in a fow words something lefinite about the Citizens' Association ? Mr. Hunter—Well, I don't think I am quite rompetent to do so. Iarrived at the meceting rther late, and signed the constitution. I'll lell yon a man who knows all about it,—Storrs, GO AND SEE STORES. Reporter—T've been hunting Storrs all day. fle’s a terribly hard man to find. Capnot you rfive me an idea of what you propose to do, and 10w you expect to do it ? Alr. Hunier—The constitution tells all that. YOU READ THE CONSTITUTION. Reporter—I read the constitution, and reread L. Every article scems to he a repetition of tho e preceding it; every section ie & Guplicaie of ibe jast. Who got up that coustitution? Hunter—Storrs was Secretary, and in that sapacity drafted the constitution. He's abright iellow. Tieporter—But wordy. Is this n any sease of the word, A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION ? Mr. Hunter—No gir, it 18 not. As I under- * ttand it, the Aseociation is_to include the very rest citizens of Chicago. They will s acarly as soesible represent the feclings of the communi- ¥ at large, and back up the Mayor and Common Zouncil in every salutary measure proposed. Reporter—Will you act 88 a committee, as an srganized bodr, or HOW WILL YOU ACT ? Mr. Hunter—Woe will bave pioper club-rooms, Now, tell mo: md goutlemen in the Ascocistion of & proper | shoructer. Politics will have nothing to do with . When an emergency arrives, we will work ‘or the best interests of the city, and_take tho ead in every movement looking in that direc- -You mesn that the Association wiil Exactly s0. Reporter—Will you be Puritapical in your riews? Mr. Hunter—No, sir. -We will bave no tem- serance or sumptuars nonsense. Our club-room vill be well fitted np. There will be liquor for ihose who want it, and cold water for those who srefer it Reporter—In fact, the Association will resem- sle the Tammany Club as it was in its inception? Mr. Hunter—Posgibly. 1 am not acjuainted vith the early history of that bods. But we ihall never ailow polizics to creep in. Reporter—day I say that your object is to ift the government out of the hands of bum- ners, and keep tbe city straizht ? Mr. Huuter—lrecisely. We shall endesvor 0 do that. Reporter—But are you not afraid of RUNNING FOUL OF POLITICS AT ALL? Jr. Hunter—I do not think weshall. We anve—I mean the better class of citizens— ‘ought the bummers agmn and agam. e bave seacn them aud thev bave beaten us. — We can seat them again, and perbaps tiey will beat us sgain, That is gil. Reporter—You do not want to be understood 18 orgavizing an aristocratic, sclect, touch-me- 10t sort of club, do you? Mr. Huuter—Certainly not. Quite the con- zary. We waot every tax-paver in the city who neaus to protect himself and his rightsasa dtizen against a crowd of greedy taz-eaters to oin the” Association. We will take in every nan who can give a eatisfactary account of him- wlf. Itis no more exclurive thau a voluateer ire departmert. It is & mutusi-protection so- dety. It will not be compesed of mere kid- 10 wembers. Pleaso bear that in mind. Do 10t ruile. Reporter—I was smiling at Storrs— ABOTT STORRS, ‘mean. Candidly, do you think his names raluable addition to the Association ? Mr. Huuter—DBear this in mind about Storrs : e Lias become & thoroughly earnest, temperate, md_cousistent msn. He'is o man of great \bility, aud 18 now loading o purposeful, ureful afe. 1 am afraid that others beside you will bo Reportar—Genersl, can you givo me THE PRECISE OBJECT ) 1 of the proposed Reform Asgociation with which your name is connected ? Gen. Webster—Tho object, a8 I undorstand it, is to concentrate the Lest public opinion of tlle city in such 8 manger that it shall be able to fied expression, and to make itsolf felt in city matters for the best interests of the eity. Jt.—\hat was the origin of the movement ? Gen. W.—Well, I think the late fires and the suspected incendiarism m the city have had as much 28 anvthing to do with it. in some way, justly or unjustly, the city has been getting into ad odor abroad, and we desire to let outside reople see that we are not iusensible to the fact. We also desire 1o show them that wo do not de- serve their ill opinion. ‘WHAT ELSE ? R.—What other objects have you in view ? Gen. W.—We desire to see what caa be dons to remedy that very common complaint that the best men wull bave nothiug to do at the polls. We hope to collect tho best mon of the city at our rooms, to interest them in~ eity questions, to get them to declare themeelves, and then to act upon their words at the polls. This, however, as in- dividuals, not as an organization. Wa intend shortly to open rooms in tome central poition of the city where any oue can drop in,spend o Elenum eveping, and exchange views with those e may mect. R.—Then you do not propose to becomo A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION Gen. W.—Not avall. I bave not heard the remotest suggestion to such an ead. Wo have poill-feeling or favor for aoy party, nor any rejudice agaioet the present Cify Government ; Bt wil bo zlad to aid it mall possiblo ways if our md will be acceptable. R.—How about the temperance and similar questions ? 5 Gen. W.—Thoey will be excluded entirely. We shall have nothing to do with them. The best of men ditfer on those questions, and purity in city governmeut lhas no necessary connection with them. We hope to avoid the rocks upon which other organizations have split. Tie General added that thev hoped to be able to offer aid in the matter of fires, insurance, Fire Depariment, and like matters about which the city is now o mueh agitated. :.—But mizht not a contingency arise in which it would be neceseary for you to LECLARE YOURSELVES, 28 an organization, for this or that ticket? Gen. W.—Wo hope not, aud expect not. We hope to influence all patties to nominate only good men for oftice by our silent influence. ‘Anxious to obtain the views of as mauy gentle- meun whose pames were signed to ths Constitu- tion as poesible as to_the cnaracter snd opera- tion of the organization, a reporter interviewed THE HON. JOHN C. DOBE, thus ¢ Roporter—r. Dore, can sou oblige me with 2 little information about the meeting ast even- ing ? Ar. Dore—Well, I don’t know. I got there very late. What is it you want to know ? Reporter—The object of the Association, Mr. Dore—It speaks foritgelf. You can READ IT IN THE CONSTITUTION. Reporter (vaguely and geverally)—Canoot you tell me somethisy more defivite # ~ How a1e Fou going to operate ? Mr. Dore—Well, now, I tell you the veryman you want to see about that— STONRS. Reporter (desperately)—Yes, I've_becn hunt- ing for Storrs all day; been to his office, the ball- match, his bLotel, everswhere. Caunot you tell me some of the objects, a. any rato? Mr. Dore—Well, yes ; they are general in their natute. They will look after whatever improve- meunt may be needed in the condition of the city as far as buildings and insurance are concerned ; 10 take precautionary measures against fires: to insist on the proper legislation, and ko forth, you know. There will be no politics about it} 1t's purely a citizens' movement for the good of the city. HOW WILL IT WORK ? Reporter—And how will you work ? Mr. Dore—Weil, that will be decided at an- other meeting. Ihe last was only & preliminary meeting, and—well, sTonzs was at both the meetings; he knows more about it than anybody, The Committes on Canvassing vill know something about 1t. Reporier—The idea is this: How can you ex- pect citizens toenroll themeelves in an organiza- tion which nobody seems to nndersiand ? Mr. Dore—The constitution will be printed in circalar form. and the object of the Association be there set forth. ME. H. B. HOXORE, being questioned in regard to the proposed movement, said that it was vet in embryo, and little could be clearly stated in regard ioit, un- less, perhaps, 3R E. A. STORRE was able to do so. The movement impressed him, howover, as a gocd one. He thought the - tention was to act mors directly thau Mr. Hunter had suggested, and that possioly it might result in &' political organization. Some Committees had aiready been appointed, auod a Geueral Executive Comm.ittee was to be ap- pointed at the next meetiny. He judred that an organization would be formed which would guard, primarily, the fair fame and best interests of the city, and would endeavor to make itself forcibly feit, if needed, a: elections, Indecd, he could not see how any great influenco could’ be exerted except by orgavization, end action as well. The object was to secure unity of action among tho best meu of the city for thie best weal of the city, the organization to bind itseif to no party, clique, crotcliet, whim, or crusade of any kind, 'to be free to act, and to change or revoke action as shall at any given moment seem best. st i Bursting Srains—A Singular Sickness in Mexico. Tlalenanqo Letter to the New York Graphic. Amost singular and unaccountable disoase, commonly known as the * bursting sickness,” bos broken out in this vicinity, and alresdy bas spread to many of the neighboring villages and cities. ‘The people are in consteruation by rea- son of the many deaths wbhich have occurred. The doctors—wretched medical men at best— are at a lous how to deal with the troublo, and the priests have their hands full. Tlalenango, Boianos, Cariézens, and even Sanceda Hac are suffering moro or less, and there is o telling where or even when the disease isto stop. I am not an expert in deseribing sickness, but the trouble seems to me to be an unusual discharge of nerve force into the brain. The symptowmns are sudden nausea, followed almost immediately by a severs and sharp pain along the spive, pro- ‘empied 1o smile at Storrs' Reform party. It is vpari of his own persoual reform that he will 1av0 to cvcounter a gieat deal of derision. I m peteonally aware that bo is in earnest, and wow that the others are alto.

It is in questions of thogen- wral weltaro that it will act, and then it must act wanimously. ANY TICKET? Reporter—Will ou pus & ticket 1o tho field s fall 2 3r.

Reporter—But suppose thero aro two tickots e, and, =8 has often happered, both are bad, do 'fi“filfim you would be tempted to put out a ird 2 Mr. Huoter—I think it would be unquestion- ibly the duty of the Asociation to do so. it rould be thé duty of any individual, and 80 of DY mass of individuals, to endeavor by all fair neaus to kecare a responstble, houest, and intel- igent government 88 against one that was not. sovest or intelligent. You would, I suppose, and 10 would I Wiy then should we not unife in e effort ? ieporter—I see the point, but the recollection f Tammany is still fresu. Would you allow Ar. Gooking or Mr. Bonney to direct thie Associ- stion's affairs ? Mr Hunter—None of that in ours. These reutlemen are siocere and well-meaning, but ier views ury extreme, and have not the sym- sathy of the people, We shonld be glad toLiave nez of thoir permonal_character nid ua in keep- rg 0p 8 bigh standard, but should certainly not follow tLiemn as leaders.

GEN. J. D. WEBSIER, xt the Clifton House, was vext viited in régard }:fi:a matter, and was questioned somewhat as wa s . ceeding from 1ts lower extremity to the head. and descrived as feeling s though a blunt knifo were scraping upward. There is then—when the pain reaches the back of the bead—n sbarp and poignant distress there which makes the patient denrious,although it never produces unconscions- neee or 1088 of tho right uses of the senses, The eyes are bloodsbot and wild, with pupils greatly contracted. Lhe scusitivevess to light is in- tense, 8o that even in paroxysms of excruciating agony the patient will rise and seek n dark place. This state lasts commonly not more than thirty to forty minutes, duriug which the Fatieut feels as though hus bead was splittiog ; and when this condition has lasted for about balf an hour the crauium sctuaily bursts open at the sutures, as is sometimes the case with infants whose heads split thus after desth from water on the brain, The sound produced by this rend- ing assunder of the bones of the skull can plainly be heard full 10 feet from the patient. 1t is said that in some instances the disruption is extremely sudden, and accompanied with a noise still louder. This occurs, too, at & mo- ‘ment when the sufferer is in full consciousnens, and it is terriblo to witness. The disease broke out at tue silver-mining region at Bolanos about two weeks ago, and its cause is uaknown. About 300 persons, generally adults, have al- ready died of it, and it is yet sproading. The sickuess is, 60 faras I koow, 88 unique a3 it is siDguiar. Buill-Fight Extraordinary. The South Pacific Times, published at Callao, Peru, under date of June 29, reports that a bull- fight took place the day previous (Sunday), in thiat city, in which a Chinaman and two women took part. Previous to the appearance of these performers, however, two or three bulls were brought out and worried balf an hour each. One was slowly tortured to death, after bemg stabbed in twenty different places, but the other two, after uudergoing the same process, refused to die, and wero driven bleeding and wearied back to the yard. The fourth wes a celebrated bull, aud the Chinaman took particular good care to keep far enough from it to prevent damage to either party. At last the chief attraction of the day appesred. A chiolo woman on horseback took her position in tho centre of the arcua 10 * re- ceivo the bull, s it 18 termed, on his beiug let loose. She did * receive” him, but in s way ehe had mot expected. The whole affair was ovor in a mm- ute. Directly the bull charged, her borse turned tail, and the bull knocked both him ana the equestiienne over. The horse stood still and the bull procecded to gorge the unfortunate woman, and the *‘gallant” bull-fighters amused tbemselves by keeping a respeciful distance from the animal. The bull was provented from killing the woman by his _attention betng drawn o by'the appearance of a_volunteer with & poncho, who was also knocked down for his Baine.

Tho meeting which had just closed, leaving aside its financial resuit, was an entire success in every respect, and reflectscredit not only upon its manager, but upon the whole community. ‘When Dexter Park was taken by Mr, Mansar, it seemed os if tho days of racing wero over in Chicago, so disgusted had the people become with the glaring dishonesty which was practiced on every hand. With horsomen all over the country, the namo of the track was the synonym for everything that was fraudulent and vile in torf sport, and when tho welcome approach of winter put ao end to the season of 1873, a very general desire was expreased that Dexter Park should be vermanently closed, and that racing should end. Popular sentiment favored its entire abolition ia this city if it could not be conducted Lonestly. For o long timo Messrs, Tucker & Sherman, the owners of the Park were iutent upon shutting 1t up, and adding the ground to tbe Stock-Yards, which was then somowhat cramped for room, but the urgent solicitations of a number of gen- tlemen fivally prevailed, and it was resolved to give the track one more chance to redeem itself, and, if that was a failure, to wipe 1t out for- ever. Tho trouble was to get » man with suflicient money and kunowledge of turt matters who bad the hardiboud to assume the managemeut of the park under the clond which rested on it. Mr. Mausur was approsched on the subject, and after much deliberation hy at last agreed to run the track, provided ho cou.d be allowed to run it in his own way, and without m{‘ouhsir.‘e interforence. This concession was unhesitatiogly granted, and bas been faithfully regarded ever since. What Las been the result of the chance 1n managemeat ? Briefly this: We have been tfurnished with a season of rare turf sport, in which every race was con- ducted with the utmost fsirness io all respects. There was gawbling ou tho track, it 19 true, and it is an absolute impossibility to do away with it ; bu: those who engage in it can Dbe compelled to act fairly in their dealings, and this is what was dono at” Dexter Park. Heuce, thero havo been no complaints about awing.cs in thie meeting. The norses that were brought here were the best that the conntry afforded, and, with & few exceptious, they were all un- usually prompt in_participating in the various trials of speed. Tlus will be readily understood when it is stated that there wero geveral ticlds in which over eight started, and in ono or two the starters were 80 numerous that there was not room enough for them to go abreasy on the track. Tho time made in the duer ent races was exceedingly good, and will undoubtedly stand well when compared with what will be made in the other meetings. The only thing that was lackiog was & proper appreciation by the public of the effort that was made to amuse them. Though the general attendance was sutli- ciontly large to save the mavagement from auy pecuniary lose, it was not what it should bave been, nor what it will be when the next meeting is given, which will probably be in the fall. The peopleare now convinced that a race-track can be conducted bonektly 10 Chicago, and will give it tueir support. The following tabular state- meut of the races of the meeting will be handy for referonce : TROTTING, Winner. Purse, TRoee of Warh'gton$1,000 500 R 2 4 1, 3 2 3 2 GOLDSNITH MAID AND FULLERTON. Yesterday afternoon about 6.000 people assem- bled at Dexter Park to witness a trot for a purse of $4,000 between §those celebrated flyers Gold- smith Maid and Judge Fullerton. The enter- tainment did not afford anything like the satis- faction that was anticipated, and was by no menns as enjoyable as any of the races in the regular maoting. The audience treated the ox- Dibition with great indifference, and many of tbem were actually displeased with it, setting it down for what it really was—an exceodingly tame affair. But the tameness can be reasonably ac- counted for, and it is only proper that sn explanation should be made which will free Messrs. Doble and Mace, the horses, the judges, and the management of the track from all blame. In the tirst place, a regular simoon was blowing almost directly from tho southwest, and swept the back stretch with all its force and parching heat. It was absolutely impossible for the horses to trot in tho teeth of the wind at anything hke their best speed, and. besides, the drivers reported that the footiug vn the upper turn was pretty coarse. Then again Fullerton was not at his best, and could not Le made to push the Maid hard. She might bave distanced him in the first hoat if Doble so de- mred, but that would not be tresting the audience fairly, and he purposety held back untul Mace got Lis Lorse eteadied downand came nesr enough to the front to save himself from beiug shut out. Tbis was eminently proper, as tho people went to ses a race of average length, not & single heat, anda very slow one at that. Tt is a well-known fact among Lorsemen and others who understand the peculiarities of Goldsmith Mard, that she cannot be forced to the ton of her speed uniess there i8 & hurse at her eide that 1y fast enough to stir her Lo gicater energv. Ful- lerton can do 1t at times, but he was in no condi- tion for the work yesterday, and hence the mare practically "trotted alome. This oxplapation ought to bo sufficient to satisfy the audience that there wa8 no disposition to defraud them of that to wkich they were justly entitled,—a fast race. There could be_no object in hoiding back the borses, for their previous performauces are too well known, and it is also pretty generally uunderstood that Fullerton stands little or no chance to beat the Maid, even under the most advaotageous circamstances. Therefore, Mr. Doble and Mr, Mauce, aud the other persons con- cerned in the race, should be relieved of any re- spousibility for the comparative failure of the horses to perform what was expected of them, and the blame should be laid where it nghtfully belongs, on the elements. Fullerton had the polo at the commencement, but bebaved so badly 1o scoring that the race was delayed for some time. Both finally got off even, but the Judge did not keep on his feet very long. He broke badly on the turn, snd bad to be pulled almost to a standstill before he struck a3 trotting gait again. Meanwhile the Maid had goue several hundred yarda in advance of bim. To make matters worse, Fullerton broke again at the quarter-pole and lost more ground. Do- le held back for him, snd as soon as he was brought down, he trotted steadily home. The Maid won in & jog by eeveral lenfths in 2:291. The second heat was a much better one. The start was even, and the horses trotted well to- gether to the quarter, which was reached in 33 seconds. At that point Fullerton was left be- hind, the mare going up the stretch five lengths in advance of him at & rattling gait. She passed the Lalf-mile polo in 1:08%¢, but the heavy wind at the upper turn forced Lier to lessen ber speed comewhat. Coming down the stratch, however. she had it behind her, and was epabled to get home in 2:1937, five lengths ahead of Fullerton, who behaved well throughout. The third heat was not 8o satisfactory. Fuilerton broke before he 1eached the quarter-pole, and the Afaid beat him easily in 2:25){.

The fonrth game of the championehip series between the White Stockings, of Chicago, aod the Brooklyn Atluntics, was played yesterdsy afternoon in the pressace of about 2,000 spec- tators, at least ona-Lalf of them ladies, who filled the grand stand complotely. The after- noon was clear and intensely hot,—one of the botteat of the vear,—and & terrifio gale swept across the grounds from the southwest, adding to the speed of the pitchers, and making the batting diflicult. At least, such would be the effect ordinarily, but it was only truc of one side in yesterday's game, the home club batting with tremendous effect the delivery of the famous underhand thrower of the Atlantics, who has bothered so ‘many clubs this year, and keot down their scores. Bond's pitching has twice proved deadly to the Lostous, and al all times Las been difficult to Lit; but the White Stockings have punished him severely in both games played in this city. The Atlantics place great dependence in their pitcher, who has won moro games for them than the other cight players combined, though, of course, the field deserve credit for supporting him. Theirs is not a strong field in any sense, judgiog from their display in Chicago, and they have thus far utterly failed to bat Zettlein's pitching. 1t in true, howaver, that they have played some vory fine gumes this year, but it was when they bad to contend with no such terrific batting a8 the White Stockings gave them to handle yester- day. THE GAME began with the Atlsutics ot the bat, and that jowel of umpites, Mr. McLean, 8s tho arbiter. Zettlein bemg s little wild, Pearco was givon his base on wides strictly called, and reached second on Meyerle's failure to hold the ball thrown by Malooe. Booth's foul iy was taken by Gleun, and o muffed grounder by Force gave Chapman first and Pearce third. Zottlein captured tho noxt two strikers, Fleet on a iy, and Bond at first, closing the innmg for & whitewssh. Safe hita by Malone, Meyerle, and Hines,—thelstter's being for two bases,—earned two runs for the Whites, after Cuthbert and Force were out. Again 1n the secona inning the Atlantics were blanked by beautiful play, though » man reached thirdona bad throw of Malone's. Peters, in tlug inning, made the fiuest infield play over seenin Chicago. A swift, bigh-bounding ball was batted by Dehlman between short and sec- ond. Peters ran swiftly forit, and by a high juwp secured it in his left hand. Withont scem- ng to wait to steady himself, a turn of the right wrist shot the ball to Gienn in ample time to ro- tire the batuman. ‘The play was cheered loudly for some minutes. The heroof this achieve- mentled off in tho pecond inning witha eafe liner for one base, aud passed balls gave him sec- ond and third,but he was putous at the home plate in attemptiug to run in on Forco's hit to Pearco, The errors of Knowdell and Deblman gave tho Whites three nneerocd runs. Aftor a safe hic by Pearce, who re.chod third while the next two men were being fiolded out at first, Hiues saved the side from tallving by s superb running catch almost off the ground. Errors by Clack and Knowdell gave the Whites an uncarned ran in the third inning, while the Atlantics wore re- tired in the order of etriking. AN AMUSING PLAY occurred in this inuing. Ferzuson hit sting- ing bounder straight st Zettlein, who turned his back and received tho ball ou the broadest part of his bodv; then picked 1t upas though nothing had_ bLappened, aud tossed it over to Gleun. Thete was much merriment at the ludicrous in- dilference with which Zettlein treated the cir- cumstance. ANOTHER FINE BATTING STREAK by tho Whites in their balf of the fourth inning Rave them three raus, two of them carned. A sale bit by Force, and two-basers by both Hines and Treacr, did’ tho businoss. Tho Atlantics never saw tho first baso in the fifth inning, and abad throw and muffed grounder by Fergnson and a passcd ball by Knowdell gave the Whites a taliy not earned. This was pretty plar, o far, on the part of the Chicago nine, and it began 10 look doubtfal if they would permit & run to be wade by the other eide. But their BAD INNING was to come. It was the sixth. Booth started of with a long hit for two bases, sod was brought bome by Chapman's safe hit. This was very well, but_s paseed ball by Alslons gavo Chapman sccond base, and then Force mulTed an easy foul for Fleet, whose good_luck was further improved by Peters, who slipped and fell just as ho bad secired_the ball. Then Moyerle muffed 2n easy grounder, and the bases were full aud no maoout. Two tallies were brought in while two men wors being fielded out at first, and another was_scored by Clack’s safe lit, makiog four in all, and bot one earned. Tuese were_the lzst the Atlantics got in the game, the Whites recovering their stendiness, aud playiog like clockwork. In the seventh iwing they got in six _unearned _rums through _ errors of Pearce, Bond, Booth, Ferguson. and Deblman. The eighth inning yielded them another unesrned run on_account of Deblman and Bond., Both sides drew blanks in the ninth inning, and the pame ended with a victory for the White Stock- ings by a score of 17 to 4. EXCEPTING THE SIXTH IN e it was o superb zame on the part of the home nineand a very discreditable one for tue Atlantics. The feature of the game was Deters’ play in short field, all the more noteworthy in view of the fact that ho was suffering hornibly from an attack of pleurisy. This young man is the base ball seneation of the year up to this time. Taken trom a St. Louis amateur club, in which he plaved semi-occagionally, a8 often as he could spare the timo from his underground emglny- ment 28 a miner, ho was placed m the White Stocking nine to fill the difficult posi- tion made vacant by the iliness of Jimmy Wood. After plaving second base extremely well, he was transferred to short field, where his record is a marvel among ball-players. At first he was nervous at the bat through lack of experienco witn professional pitching, but he has got brave- Iy over tlus, and is now giving Meyorte, Cuthbert, and Force & hard rub for the batting supremacy. Peters was out of place in St. Louis, and Chica- go took hLim in. It may gratify his many ad- mirers to know that his engagement with the White Stocking nine continucs for three years.

The third and last game between the Chicago and Atlantic Clubs will be played to-morrow afternoon. Inview of the generous action of the Atlantic boys—who are organized on the co- operative plan, and_receive no salares—:n re- maining over next Wednnsday to play for Jimmy Wood's benefit, it is to ba hoped that there wiil be a good turn-out to-morrow afternoon. Tuesday the White Stockings and Franklins play the postponed game for the benefit of the Homo for the Friendlesa. Jimmy Wood's beoefit occurs Wednesday afternoon, the Atlantic Club having volun- teercd to remain over and domate thewr services for the occasion. They will play ten men sgainst the White Stocsing tem, according to the plan sought to be introduced at the last meetiug of the National Association. The tenth man will play in short right field, eo that the entire in-field can be placed closer to- gether, and the batting must be safe, indeed, if base bits are made. The game will consist of en innings, and will doubtless prove of extraor- dinary interest, apart from the object for which it isto be played. There is rcarcelya man, woman, or child in Chicago, who koows base- bali, but has an affectionate regard for Cap James Wood, whose recent misfortune in the k of a leg makes him an especial object of in- Chicago, 8: 1ol 7t Lase on errors of Gpponent terest and sympathy.

New Yonk, July 25.—Base ball—Mutuals, 7; Hartforas, 3. EX-SENATOR FOOTE. Hlis ¢ Casket of Reminiscences.?? From the New York Etening Post. Mr. Henry 8. Foote, in his * Casket of Remin- iscences,” has given usa good book, but not Dear 80 good a one as he is capable of giving us. A writer with trained literary talents and a per- coption of what are the best and mosat signifi- cant things to tell, might, wero he possessed of Mr. Foote's experience, have written a very valuable work. Mr. Foote was a distinguished participant in the political life of one of the most interesting period of its history, The Southwest forty yecars sgo was a country brmful of young men. We doubt if there existed at that time anywhere in the world a society richer in forca and originality, & race of men with more talent and daring. We have mno doubt thatMr. Foote's memory 18 full of things more worth preserving thon most of what he has here givenus. Heis the very wman to write such & book. This is the Mr. Foote, we believe, of whose duel with Sur- gent B. Prentiss s popular story is told. The people, heanng there was to be a fight, came out to kee the two gentlemen shoot at one another. One little negro boy (a cat may look at & King) had climbed into & sapling quite out of the rango of the firing, expectingto seetho fun. Justbefore the “one, two, three,” imagine the feelines of the modest little African to find himself paulicly sddressod by 80 greata manas Mr. Prentiss, and in these words: “You'd belter get down from that, you little boy ; Alr. Foote is a very bad_shot, and he is quite a8 Likely to hit_you xa me.” The African dropped like a persimmon. Mr. Foote refers to this story aud says that he long refrained from contradicting it because it was 100 good to spoil. He says, nowaver, that he has no recollection of the incident. One of our objections to this book is that it contains too much of Washington and too little of Missiesippi. Mr. Foote's recollections of the Capital begin with the inauguration of John Quincy Adams. Of Mr. Monroe's last levee we are told : *Whea the address was brought to a close, most of those present proceeded to the White Houso in order to take leave of Mr. Monroe, who was about to set off for his private resi- dence in Virginia, Curiokity led me thither. I was much struck with the very healthy and vigorous appearance of this veneraole man. Tuough I bad seen him often before, I had never l}fpmuhad him 80 nearly as on this occa- gion. His appearance and manoers were full of life and cordiality. His face wore s kindly and genial smile, and he was evidently rejoiciog in- wardly at being relieved at last from the toils and cares of otfice. [ saw Mr. Adams also in tho throng of those Who were eagerly pressing forward_to shake hands with his predeces- wor. He seemed to be wholly unnoticed, and to bo in a gravely meditative mood. 1 was anxious to see him more distinctly, snd Iurged my way to_his whereabouts perhaps a Iittle indelicately. When L bebeld him nearly I found that he was actuaily weeping. The tear- drops, which were constantly distiiing from his eyelids, be ever and anon wiped zmay with a white linen handkerchief. The epectacle which 1 beheld reminded me very forcibly of what I had read of the langhing and the weeping phi- Josopher of the olden time. Here Isaw a Pres- ident of the United States departing from office to all appearance replete with hilanty and joy- ousness, whilo he who was presently to fill bis place seemed smitten with nnappeasable apguish .and melancholy. I did notthea know what I soon after learned, that the tear-shedding which Lad so painfully attracted my attention was with r, Alfima but an ‘ordinary inuodation,” and the result of an optical distemper of very long standing.” In 1825 Mr. Foote attended a trial in the case of & vessel which the Goverument had confiscat- ed for participation in the slave trade. The Attorney-General had secured the services of Francis' 8. Key, the sauthor of *The Star- Spangled Banner” aud the father of Philip Bar- ton Key, wllod by Gen. Sickles. **I waa very much entertained with the whole argument, but I was patticulacly charmed with the speech of Mr. Key. Mr. Koy was tall, erect, and of admirable pbysical proportions. ~Thera dwelt usually upon his handsome and winning features a soft and tounching pensiveness of ex- pression _almost bordering on sadness, but which, in moments of special ex- citement, or when anything occurred to awsken the dormant heroism of bis nature or to call into action the higher powera of his vigorous and well-cultivated incellect gave place to a bright ethereslity of mgxucz and a noble audacity of tone and gesture which pleased while it dazzled the beholder. His voice was capable of being in the highest_degree touching aud persaasive. His whole gosticulation was dat- ural, graceful, and impressive, and he wus ns complezely free from overything like affectation or rhetorical grimace a8 any public speakor I have known. He had a cingular flow of choice and pointed phraseology, such a8 could not fail to be pleasant to persoos of taste and discernment ; and I am sure that uo one ever heard him ex- Libit his extraordioary powers of diecussio, 1o whom the ideas to whicn he essayed to give expreseion seemed at all cloudy or perplexed, or Lis elocution clogged and torpid, even for the shortest possible period of time. On this occa- 8100 he greatly surpassed the expectations of his most admiring friends. The subject was par- ticularly suited to his uabits of thought, and was one which had long enlisted,in a special maoner, the generous sensibilities of his soul. It seemed to mo that he smd all that the caso domanded, and yet no more than was needful to be said; and he closed with a thnlling and even electrify- ing picture of the horrors conuected with the African_slave-trado wnich would have done booor either to & Pitt or a Wilberforce in their palmiest duys.” Mr. Foote describes Prentiss : *‘There was much tbat wes remarkable in the appearance and bearing of Jlr. Prentiss at this ume. He was not more, I think, than 5 feet 614 inches in height; was very stoutly built, an well proportioned. His head was somewhat larze when compared with bis body ; it wad one that a Grecian artist might well desire to copy. His forehesd was wide, high, snd almost somi- circular in its outline—so admirably were all the more important phrennlulfical organs developed. His eye-brows wero_full, but not bushy, and were gently arched. His eves were large, bright, and of an exoression in which the absolute foarlessneen of his nature was very haupily blended with the rarest genislity of 8pirit and the keenest relish for the ludicrous. He had but a moderate beard, aud always kept his faco cleanly shaven. His chest was one of greatest expansivencss, and, though perfectly straight between the shoulders, a strabger ap- proaching him from the rear could not avoid be- 1og struck with the singular breadth and fullness of the whole tergal superficies. His nose was Grecian, and was both beautiful in its shape and highly expressive. His upper lip was a little shorter than 18 customary, and of a flexibility I havo never ecen equaled. ' Often was ho scen to curl it up, both in mirth and avger, displaying to viow a set of strong, well-set, and beaatifally white teeth. He had all his lifo suffered from i lameness in one of his feet, and was said to have 8 good deal of sensitiveness in regard to its ma).. formation, though this I was never able to discov- er. He hobbled, of course, very perceptibly in bis gait, and would, I suppose, have fouud it dufticult to walk at all without the aid of the Iarge stick which was his perpetnal attendant. When I was introduced to him, forty-two years 850, Natchez was already full of bis famo. He had delivered several xpecches at the bar, which all admitted had never been equaled ' there, naturally acquired a i Fo%em; u:: . noble confidence iy bis gy @ should like to quote work There aro soversl oot fom s which it will bo woll for any ogy tho b & conception of tho condition of 8.t gy thy Lri ng fush timos of Alabama and Misgpocicd,ia " ruse.
