Special Dispateh o The Clucao Tribune, Sax Fraxcisco, Nov. 23.—Tho great trotting i race between Occident and Fullerton for a purse ! of £6,000, mile heats, hest three in five, in harness, took place this sfternoon on the Bay District Park course. Thogfitendance was smell, compared with tho immense crowds that have assembled to witness the two great races pre--| cading that of to-day, not more than 2,000 poo- | ple being upon the groucd. This may be ac- counted for paitly by the fact that the public has had a surfeit of racing of late, whilo tho recent heavy rains led to the supposition that the track would not be in good order for fast time. . THETRACK . was in only faircond:tion, being somewhat heavy in consequence of tho wet weather of tho past fow days, and, though by no means a slow track, it was not 8o ravorable for time as it was & woek ago. Tue weather was clear and comfortable, TIE POOL-STAND ‘was moderately patronized to-day, and there was 0 great emount of enthusiasin manifested by the spoctators. Tho withdrawal of Messrs. | Graves & Loomis’ horso Chicago on acconnt of Jameness lefi only Occidens aud Fuilerion to contest, and the interest was correspondiagly re- ‘duced. Fullerton’s wondorful performance one week ago in the wagon race bad the effect of making him the favorito in the pools on to-day’s trot, thongh the figures bo- fore tho first heat were at no time further apart than 100 and $65. The first sales were clozer than t.8, but when O:cideot camo on the track, HE BEHAVED BADLY ! in his preliminary exercise, giving Doble =1l e could do to keop- him on bkis feet, his backers lost esnfidence, and the odds on Fullerton went up agein. How much of this bad acting was Que to clever driving for the parpose of making the korse sell cheaply iu tho pools, was a watter which even the knowing ones wero unable to de- termime, in the ligiat of eubsequent ovonts. Ful- lerton seemed to be in perfect form, and, under Hickok’s Land, loc'sad like a winner. FIBST MEAT. The horeea were calied up for the start at 2:45, Occident having drawn the pole, and Fulterion the outzide. Scme time waa consumed in scor- ing, and it was not until the fourth atiempt that the drivers got .the word “go.” The horees went off in good shapa, Fullerton having a elighs lead, winch he maintamed to the Lalf-mile pole, when Occident drew sbreast with him. They trotted neck and neck at a rapid paco to the hoad of the home strotch, whou Oceidont pushed to the front for the first tiae, and opensda gapof a leagth. Fullerton forged forward a little, but the California, gelding beld Lis own, and camoe in winver ot the heat by balf a length in 2:19, The result of this heat brought back the waning confideuco of the Occidevt men, who made bim a hot favorite in tlo pools st the rate of £400 to $:30. SECOND NEAT. _ Both horses reapneared ou the track fresh and in nood cordition, though it was nohced i the warming-up work thut Fullerton sowed a teu- dency to fall into bie old bebit of hitctiug. Thae word was given with the horses on even terws, Lut suderton broke in going round sho turn. Hickok brought him bzck to a trot in good shnpe, bat he broke egam, losing so much ground that he was thirieen lengths in the rear at the quarter-pole.

The Fulierton ez, bowever, found plenty of reason for en- conregement before the heat was over, and for a time it looked as though their horse wounld wiest & victory out of what had seemed certain defeat. ‘Ibe rend-off was even and very fast. Fullerton bhad steedied down materially, and cut cut the work at & rattliog rate. He fairly outifooted Qceident to the beif-mile pole, whero he had a Jead of two lengths, but the bav pet of 'Trisco put on & fino burst of speed and camo up abresst.

TIE DULLNESS IN CHICAGO. Billiards ara tersibly Gull in Clucago—the re- sult of hard times and ihe lack of watches and tournaments to stimulate the public passion for this cluss of amusement. With but a single ex- ception,—and that in the caso of a hall whose proprictors attract patronage by sheer force of persons! popularity aud superior maasgoment,— the large billiard-rooms ace barely paying ox- penses. Something to stir up the interest in billiards is the ery of the room-keopers juse now, but what that something shall be is a uestion mot so0 easily determined. New York has 2ll the great plavers, cach of whom is the proprietor of & room of hisown. They have just closed o tournament there, the receipts of cliich fell far below expeciation, and they are not anxious to come to Chicago and get wp another tournument unless thoy are guarunteed not only all the door money, but & heevy sum in cash prizes as well. Nobody is williug to enter 1nto this hogzish scheme, aud €0 tho proposed Chicazo tournament hangs fire, An Eastorn paper states that Tom Toley is to reiire from the :management of his mammoth hell, to be euc d by Micheel Geary, Thisia not true ; Mr. Foley will continue 1o manage the big hall.

Mra. Leosard mounted the platform, accompanied by o couple of Indies,—ono more thaa “fair, fat, and forty,” tho other answer- ing to that alliterative description. Tbe janitor asked the leading lady if sho wanted o glass of water, to which sho roplied in the negative. Tho janitor looked immensely relioved, and so did the aadience, because they thonght that in the absenco of the usumally indispensable aqueous flud denoted short orations. MRS, LEONARD'S REVIEW. Mrs. Leouard, without loss of time. came forward aud said that she owed it to herzelf and to those who were as3ociated with her to-make a review of the Good Samaritan business during soveralyears. Inaccomplishing this task sho read extracts from several records of business moot- inga, from former publications of her own in the nowspapers, and _editorials from journals which thought it worth while to discues tho subjoct. She particularly alluded to the resolution in- troduced by the Secretaryof the Sumaritans beforo the split, in which it was songht to de- | termine that the object of the Association wis © i PREVENT WOMEN FROM FALLING, and not to Lelp those who were already morslly prostrate. The press, sho eaid, bucked up that resolution, awd it was passed She denied thot the voico - of & city editor wos the voice of the pooplo any more than her own was. [Applausa.] She ad- viged her friends to fight the bat:le ouc on their lino and to hold fast sgainst the praying, singing, and simply theoreticel party, and to assist the fallen and have them admitled to heospital. Tae press called horsolf and triends $*UILTENNY €ATS," Sho called the editors :om-cats, for they did all the catorvauling. [Laugbter of o foeble kind ] Tho pulpit was. aleo ngaiast hor mde of the bouse. Ministers bad sad to her that sho was doing the work of Satau in opposing praver, which, they claimed, was one of the most eflicient remedies for tho sccial evil, rs. Leonard then went into 3 general digserta~ ticn on the ovil in questiou, ailudiog to tho ps- culizr malady in rathar medical phrase, suiffi- ciertly obxcuro to spare the blushes of tho twitiated, and to excite the curiozity of tho ignorant. Sho left tha! part of tle subject a8 qaickly aa possible, and alluded in pathetic terms to TDE REMOVAL OF THE HOSPITAL, which was Lro aments steru weu, who conqu illaivg women. The latter were a great socisl and po- Iitieal stumbling-block. They remioded bor of the French Professor who tsugit her daughtars lessous in music. Onco when this interesting rerson had been conducting himself badly, ho czmo to herand said : ** Madam, I sapposs you i 3 ink me a very bad kind of a fellow " She ro- plied: Yes, o very bad kind of fellow.” So ho apologizod by saying, *How can I belp ir, madata? Iam fo constituted.” That was whot was the trouble with WEAE-3INTED LADIES. They woro 8o constituted, una a minute's talk With #ome man would turn any of their brainy. Tho press was again alluded to 1 _the style whict i3 _gencrally undorstood as * giving Huil Columbia™ to the attacked object. Sho was not eurpriced at the whime of aduits. She had been ueed to babics. [Laughter.] As for tho bespi- tal, sbo could not have fell worse at having lost oce of her children than she did when ic was re- moved. Mrs. Leonard next devoted herseif to A DBIOGBAPHICAL SKRETCH of Mrs. Forbes, who, among a sories of charita- Dble labors, had reformed the custom of giving potients ** weak nash,” and wasbed their disty stockings in tno laundry.

Her friends and horself bad been told taat there would be X0 COMNPROMISE with them ; that the polico ulote would deal with them it they persisted in trying to obtsin au- thonty over the Homo which they bod assistod in founding.

Their side of the house hag fully orzanmized. AH their officers—Presi- dent—Vice President, Secretary, sod Treas- wer, were thero on the stand. That was substantinl fact. [Three other ladies had supplemented Mrs. Leonard =nd toe two that fiist camo in.] Tae spsaker went into a deacription of things at the Home, which was under the direction of 3irs. Wheeler, Some of tha women, who were in A PECULIADLY DELICATE SITUATION, were actually worked ell day in the sewing- room. In the dining-hall mnttors were simply shockiog. A very weak, poor womau came in thera to get sometbing to eat. She was given o slice of corn-bread and a glass of water. Sho algo spoke of tbe ill-troatment of a Mrs. Ray, of whom she said: *This 1MMrs. Ray is a most accomplished lady, although an Irish- womaa I” [* Can such things be 7] The woes of & frail female pamed **Minvie” wero next dwealt upon, and the wholo discourss thera- after assumed tho tone of *‘which Iriseto ex- plain,” She described Mr. Haas, propretor of the Home building, as “a wondrously large man,” who struck himself hugely on the breast. The exclusion of herself and associates from the Home was characterized a8 A PIECE OF GROSS DESPOTISM. They had managed to get somo German ladies nterested in the matter, and they had expostu- lated with Hass und Alr. Raster. The Mayor was told of this, cond he said, * Yes, they will be attended to because they are Germans.” Novw, that was & very singular oxpression for the Mayor to make usé of. The North Side Caplain bud told Jake Rehm that they were Spiritualists. She had gooe to tho Home once, and was ssked, AR TOU A SPIRITUALIST? She would angwor that man then and there. She did pot think she was not called upon to explain or apologize for her croed to auy man on earth, whether she was a Mohammedan, a Christian, a Jew, n Pagen, a Buddhist, a Dervish, ora Hotten- tot.' [Loud applause.] 'She thought she had effectunlly disposed of the charge made against her of boing nu adventuress. She would, there- .fore, give way to others. AES. BOND was the next spoaker. She was afraid that, af- ter what bad been said. gentlemen would not feel like going very deep into their pockets to pay the expenses of the hall. Nevertheless, the “fmmm would be tried. "The experiment was tried, and appeared to fulfill the lady's melancholy expectations. MMre. Bond then proceeded to give more details of the conduct of the Home, Bhe particulsrly dwelt on THE INIQUITOUS DOINGS OF REPORTERS, who colored, exagzgerated, and even misropre- sopted thoir meotings—all'in the interest of the migority.

Mr. Wilkioismy perzonal friend, and I contral the Times anyway.” [Langhter.] t5he closed tho proceedings by annonneing thst they would bold auother meeting next Baturday night in the eame piace, that would beannounced 1 duo time. e e e THE OTHER SIDE. k.

The naturnl reason for the ofposition of these per- <ons is tha belicf and hopo that, in tho event of the restoration of enffrage, tho recent dynasty might parhaps be remrnel to power.

Some Unrecorded Exploits of This Distinzuished Operator. His Femals Accomplic2 in the Role of It is bolieved that Pittsburg Jack, who made & briof but brilliant repu'ation by tho display of bis peculiar talents, inthe stealing way, has left Chicago for good, cither because, a8 be says in bis letter of complaint; there is too much * suide collat ” in Clicago for his fancy, or that Tue Tuipuse has shown to him that bis antecedents and methods are known, Nothiug has occurred during the last weok giving indications of his Laudiwork, and the above 18 either true, or else be is Iying pordu, waitiug for suspicion to! blow over ; tho latter is more likely. Baut as this operator in valuables of IIE‘HOGB bas left many victims’ bebind lum, and Hs the stories have besn suppressed from variouy mo- tives of cupidity and prido, it may not ba amiss to telt . 5 ONE OR TWO MORE INCIDENTS * of his exciting career, uo that poopie niay be forewarned, and thus forearmed, against any future encroachments by this dering rescal. It was observed ina previous article that he seemed to choose singnler times of the day for his work. Preforably just at dusk or at dinner time. 1o most every instanco tho robberies have been committed at this period of the day, which offers peculiar advantages,—firet, that the family aro ¢ their meals, and, secondly, that the polico havo not yet come on to their beats. Thero is another bour of the twenty-four which offers very similar advautages to tho thief. Thia is betweeu G zud 7 o'clock in the morning. Theso are the hours when safaty runs down to ita low- est pitch and when more than usnal care should Do teken to guard the houschold treasures. Tho rogue knows that ho takes the least chances as thesa times, and, when ho isas ALERT AXD SELF-POSSESSED as tho thief mentionad, Le is able to got away with the goods woet every time. An inatunce will illustrate this. Mlr. Chanler, Suporintend- ent of tho Firc-Alarm Telegraph, hives at No. 1168 Indiana avenue. Not long ago his mother, who is & member of the familv, came down stairs early one morning and was surprised to see her scn, as sae belioved, sitting on the railing of the back porch. He Lad on his (Mr. Chandler's) Gvercoat and het, and was sitéing with bis back toward the Indy. She called bir in surprise and asked how he came to be up so early, but, as he made uo restonse, sho thought no:hing more of 1t until an Lour or maio - alterwards, when her son came down stuirs, baving just arisen. Of courso the mystery was then solved, but at tho expense of overcoat, hat, and other valua- bles. alr. Chandler is not alove 1n his losses in thus vicinity, as most every house in that plock has been visited ia & similar wav. A TASTE FOI DERD: Abont the sume time s pecaliar robbery was committed 1n Mr. Traynor's rasidence, on blich- 1gan avenue, near by. The thief stole three canary birds and a mocking-bird in their cages, getting in tho - house at about the kame bour und geiting away with tho **feathered song- wtors” without exciting ewapicion. The last of this famouy purglat’s exploits to come to light, however, and probably the most audacious, is thet of THE RGDBERY OF THE RESIDENCES. Io the first of these a rich baul was secared, the thief eutering the room whero a yonog geus tleman was azleep, aad taking his watck, pochet- book, and other valuzbles, worth searly 1,000, Ilis shirt was lying on - chair near by, and contsined threo very valuable diamond’ studs, but these were overlooked. The same day the oiher houss was entered in the aftercoon. - The veritable *“Jack of Pitis- burg" wze AT THE BUREAU DRAWEN, Jooking over ihe chains and brooches, pins and and othier article: the 2n said thal sie surpriced him at it, but this would not Lavo been truo.

Ina moment the Lurglar came ont of the front door. Ha had her husband's hat on his head, and swwung o jannty cane ia his hand. He looked up at her, nodded’ hus head, and said *ra-TA " in the most amiable manaer, aod then walked coolly cp street and disappeared around the coruer, probably saying to bimsalf—to carry out tha plot to & Larmonious conclusiop—that he never wos in a city beforo so badly in need of policomen. L=ppily, buwever, his Fra Diavalo of a rascal hos cca.ed his cperaticns for tho presont, and if tire peopls contizuo to take the precantion that thia paper bas urged upon them, he and all ohers like him will find Chicago a poor field of labor for thew. It has been mentioned that tha Pittsburg operator has A WOMAN CONFRDERATE. It may bethat, in tbe interim of his banish- ment, she is doing the work of the firm. ‘Tne following story looks likeat: A lady livi on the West Side engaged a servant some time ago, wio seemed to bo eversthing thut sersants shonid be. She was obliging 1n s romarkable degree ; was willing to do anything abont tho hotse ; would ccok, wash, and iron ; would even coudescend to sweep down the froié steps and wash tho plate-glass windows. In fact, the lady congratulated herself on having et last found A JEWEL Of A QIEL, who would relicve bor of culiuary responsibili- ties and address ber in arespectful way when sbe cxme into the kitchen. Tho most sicgular reculiusity about Nerah, however, was thut she bad no cousin who dropped in to seo hér three nights in the week, and swelled the gas bill aud diminished the grocery supplics in proportionate quantities. She was zteclately a maid-servent without & beau, something that housckecpers will find difficuli of belief. Such perfection as this is raro enough to be suspicious, but such was her aitless simplicity and insinuating man- ners of the girl in question ihat the lads gave her herimplicit trust and confidenco. After Norah hed Lueen at the place a few weeks nund hiad endeared Lerself groatly to the housekold, & change sud- denly came over her. One day she utteriy REFUSED T0 BASTE THE SUNDAY'S TUREEY with lots of fat, nud it came on thotable as the lady declared. looking s pale s a ghost, bat being very much unlike a spirit in the very tangible and substantial character of the meat. Of course, there were reproaches, and rauk re- belliou followed. There were high and digni- fied words spolien, and Nornh retired np the back stairs to pack up her clothes and - got ready for ber departure. In tho meantime, some strange things had oceurred in the mansion spoken of. It hed been entered twico by burglars, Solid silver spoons and forks bad disappesred, odd jowelry and dresses bad vanished, and DO clow had been obtained as to who committed the rob- bery. The cellar-door had been found open. Burnt matches had been strewn around ou tho floors in the parlor end. sitting-rooms, but 1o noiso had been heard io the night. and no oo knew where to look for- recompense. They mourned their property, but gavo it up for lost. The lady was eitting in Ler easy-chair, cogitat- ing her sum of misfortunes, es the expressman who was to remove. the effects of the injured Norsh came down-steirs. There was & good deal of noise, and the lady looked up involun- tanly to sec tho cause. A DOUDLE-SIZE SARATOGA TRUNK was going out on the man’s shoulder, and the girl was following benind. Tho exoreasman put the trunk in his wagom, the girl rot up on the seat, and they drove off, Thero was nothing pe- culinr about all ths, except that the trunk ucemed to bo particularly heavy, and caused tho lady in turns to admire, wonder, and suspect, and then 1t flashed on her like an inspiration that perbaps the obliging Norah had been pla ing 1t on ber inthesuyleof Ah Sin. Hastily sumnioping a lad, he was put upon the scent and the wagon was followed for a long distance. When the husband came home, the circum- stances were related, a search-warrant was pro- curred, and the police repuired to the house, where the trunk was broken open, and suro enough there was the missing silver. A number of dresses, winter and summer clothes, articles of vertn snd jewelry, and & thousand other thiogs too numerous to mention, were found inside. Norah, however, bad vanished, end has not return to look for ber voluables, end probably will not. A **Dittsbnrg Jack” writes to Tuz TRImUNE that he cannor coilect cnongh money in Chicago topav his passage back Loiae, 1t is to be hoped that the citizena will use ench procantions as will oblige him to walk thero, in compuay wita the femalo who assists tho bolder thief in his nofar Since writing the above It hss boen learned od by the thicf. The house was entered by $ho seuttlo-way, aod such marks as the burglar left behind indicate that it was one of the ¢ cracks” of Pittsburg Jack. LOUISLANA.
