No overt acts bave bean committed during the past week by the Chicago Clab team, who have spent the time in hard work, and are probably fowin a8 good trim for & game 28 they will be sny time during the sesson, barring only the confidence in each other which comes only from: fong play together. During the week—or 50 yonch thereof 2s has furnished euitable weather —tne tosm has been taking from four to six Yhours a day field work, using both moraing and afternoon. The greatest difficulty bas been the sonoyance of the too curions erowd who bave several times boen present in sufficient numbers 1o interfere with the movements of tbe men. 1This of course woald not be & trouble it it were possible for. the -pine: to oocupy -their own grounds, but ipasmuch as that plat of ground is &t present substantially under water, tho boys sre necessitsted to wander about like a dozen of those doves which tho best suthority eaye found 0 rest for the solea of their feet for excoeding smoigture which prevailed sbout that tme—or words to that effect. Thus gorced to_ hunt out dry spots, and at the eame timo to avoid tho crowd, the team have re- ceived plenty of leg-exercice. 1hey have used the black op the corner of Thirty-fith street and South Park avenue, and 2180 the ground laid out .an tne park itself. 5 5 © The first zame of the séason is oxpected to tako place Thursdzy afternoon of this week oo the Twenty-third street grounds, ' if they ore dry conough, - which condition is rather & doubtful ope.

The Boston Globe has tha following = i 0'Rourke,of tne Boston nine, has not yst reported for duty, but &till remains at his home in Bridgeport, Conn. ‘It 1a stated that he will not report nntil Harr Wright comes home from the South, and then he will apply to the *old man ’ foR a relesss, a8 hio wishes to play third base for the Chicagos. The present Boston feam can ill afford to part with such a man as O'Rourke, and it is 10 be hoped that ho can bo pro- vafled upon to siay. Itisnowstated ss 8 fact tbat Anson will not play st third basc for the Chicagos, 2ad it 18 not only possible, but very probable, the mana- gers of the Chicago Club have made O'Rourke &t offer, to secare him 2a their third baseman.” ‘The liactford Ttmes on the esmo general subject says that O'Rourke does not care {0 play anywhere this year, unless in Chicago. 1t should bo sdded that this 35 very kind of O'Bourke, even mors 6o than we of Chicago deserve, but the truth remamna that no propo- sition or hint has ever proceaded from any officer of the Chicagos to O'Kourke, and probably none ever will. A lster issue of the Hartford 'imeshas the fol- Jowing paragraph, which seems to set the matter all straight again ;- * O'Rourke has been wating until the Bostons play the New Havens, when be will join them there and then go to Boston on the 15th.* FLIES. The New Havens start out for a Bouthern trip of about thres weeks, May 20. San Francisco haa four good amateur clubs, and will hold & tourpamsat this swrnmer. The first professional game to be played by the Hartfords will take place in Boston on the 2ith inat., when they meet the new Bed Stocking Simmons, formerly of the Forest City, Chicago, and Reokuk Clubs, is in St. Louis, having contracted to play with the Stocks the coming season. He is a valusblo man. Aladie and Bancker Lave also signed 10 play with the Stocks. A letter from Louisville says that s gala of wind, *smounting almost to a hurricane, came acroes the Club's grounds Thursday night and levelod the mem- bers® stand to the ground ag well aa unroofed the grand-stand, The josa will e considerable, but the dsmsge will be promptly repaired.

THE TURF- DEXTEB YARK MATIERS. The interest in local turf matters is brightsn- ing up a little, and the old-time sport of gomg out to the track in the morring is growing com- mon again. The Dexter Park tracks are both in good shape, and are being used dsily by & considerable number of trottets who are being put into shape for the campaigo. The names of the norses now at the park stables was given last week a8 up to that time, and no new ones have since arrived. This week, however, will liven up matters considerabla by accession of the following good ones : Stephen Bull's stable, from Bacine, in charge of Charles Prown, sod comprising the gray gelding Phil Sheridsn, with a record of 2:293{; also Billy VWasson, sod the mare Kitrie Filds, about whom some big stories have been told. It 18 stated that Mr. Ball paid $10,000 for her, and she can trot 1n 2:24 and has no record. She is by Cop- perbottom. Itis expected that the bay mare Yiady Bsron, owned by Capt. Siatten, of Onargo, and the favorite mare Countess, owned by E. L. Hoyt, of Beaver Dam, Wis,, will arrive this Week. 1t is quite hikely that Budd Doble, who is expected in biladelphi next week from California with hia string, will stop here a couple of days. It is 1ot yet xnown what day bewill arrive. Itis very senaitly scggested to Col. Mansur that he provide for a frec-to-all pacing rsce st his first July meeting. It would prove a great attraction. CURIOTS CONDITIONS. The conditions for the Jackson, Mich., meating, Which commencea June 20, are calculated 1o cause & sensation in trotting circles. They are, in the main, ss follows: The entrance-fee is only 5 per cent of ibe purse, an additional 5 per cant being required ‘of winmers of premiums. Winaers of races can take but one premium. Harses declsring not (o win with either officer of the Associstion, at or before Som of the dsygprecsding s race, will not Do Tequired to wind in which case’ they shall not_wn better than second premium, or, so doing, shall forfeit surplns to the Assoctstion. Horses de- clared out in a particular race shall not sell in the Pools for any place whateverin that race. In casen Geaiared horse wins the race, all pools for first place shail be won by the best horse in tnerace that has mrds no declaration, and this principle shall 3pply to d to pools for all other ‘places, horees $rder drawn, but outaide of horses making no declara- tion, and afierwards in order of finishing in preced- ioy heat, but outaids of alt harses that have made no declaration. GEFEEAL RUNNING RUMORS. The American horss in England are ali doing well, except Bay Eagle, who, having thrown a_curb, has en et up, and 0 will not start for the Derby, but for the Leger, a circumstance which was predicied in Tux TRSCSE some wWoeks ago, The three older Rorses, Preakness, Mate, and Bay Final, are taking 3- wils gallops and doing well. The grest Kentucky horse, sallmkeel, has, of course, proveda hopeless roarer, for haven't his Gwn- ers had the fact telographed all over the country? Neveriheless, private advices from the blue yegion indicats that it will not be = W ine Rorse recovers miraculonsly, and is able to win some _of the big races.

The mesting of the Northwestern and South- western Billisrd Congress Jast Tuesday resulted in the wisest sotion possible under the circam- stances. Tho movement to adjonrn for the pur- pose of giving Burleigh and Shaw an opportuxity to answer the chargea was, of course, more #8mn) than otherwise, because it is notatall likely that eithor of tho accused parties will ap- pear and face the evidence ; still the movement togive both sides sn opportunity to be heard will prevent the ultra-captious Esstern eritica from orying out against an ex-parte and uafair trial. ) The adjonrnment of the Congress was also fortunate in another respect; that is, tho necos- sity of considering & change in the game of billiards as it now stands. It is not necessary to recount the bistory of the gamo to show that it has been progressing snd improving very fast within the memory of living playera; and that, having passod through tho pocket, large-table, and four-ball stages, it has come down fo the acientific aud enjoyable *‘Fronch”™ or three- ball game, which, until a few months ago, w28 considered the ultimatum of progress. Lately, however, the progressivists have made strong snd successful efforta to introduce CUSIION CAROAMS, —this is to make no shot logal mnless the player's ball makes one or more cushions before completing the count. The innovation has cowa to be vary popularat the East, and the new game is aiready receiving much favor bere. Now, in view of the fact that the cushion is ‘unquestionably the coming gamo for professionals, would it notbes wise, an excellent, and & proper thing for the Northwestern and Southwostern players to adopt it even before the Eastern people gettoit? Each member of the Congress which is to meet hers Blay 10 should come prepared to Yote on tho idea, and, if 1t is generally favored, to adopt it as the game of the Congress. The reasons in ita favor are mauy and in opposition few, and it would be a fcather in the Westerners to take the ‘which sure to ewcep over the country before msny months, The most obvious objection—that nobody would challenge for the emblem if cushion caroma were adopted—is met by stating that Parker ana Hoa would ba quite willing to try for_ the medal, and, farther, no man conld teil who was o win, The minor questions aa to rules, longth of gume, etc., could bemsde the subject of consideration if the Ziain proposition were acceptable. Let the members of the Congress eanvasa the subject and “come 10 the May moeting propared to vote on the =zdoption of the Dew move oF its rejection. CUBHIONS. Frank Parker is fitting up a hall on Wabash avenus, near Twenty-second street. Maurice Daly is en route from Florida to New York. Geargo Slosaon recently gave T. J. Gallagher 100 in 500 and beat him. YLouis Abrams, of New Orleaus, has chellenged Miller for the four-ball champiouship of Louisiana, snd threatens to attsck Maggioli for the three-ball cham- ‘plonship. M. Colin, the eminent French naturalist, after sev- eral persevering efforts, has succeeded in tralning a number of mankers (Troglodytet nigre) (9 play st the gama of billiatds, and the recent public exhibitions of the troupe at Marseilles, Lyons, and Paris, have croated quite farore among the wonder-loving Frenchmen. The Paris Figaro pronounces the skill displayed by the grotesque contestants as astonishing, while tho mimoery of the human billisrdist is simply porfect. M. Colin proposes to visit the Centennial Ezhibition at Philadelphia, and will doubtless give & sories of ax- hitutions throughout the countrs. ————— THE RIFLE. CHI OLUD BHOOT.

Every two years during April, May, and Juue, they ily across tho lake and take up their abode in flocks of mill- jons. This season they have commenced flying carlier than usual, aod have already appeared in countless myriads. This morning your cor- respondent went out an the south limits of the city snd watched them untd his eyes grew wesry endeavoring to follow the line of the long and untroken swarms a8 they Sew over our eznd-hills, making for our dense foresta to find s brooding-place. From 5 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock they pats over the hills and disappear in the woods, and during those hours the rarest sport ever witnessed can be had by thoes who are at all spaztingly-inclined. Al one need do 18 to take 3 good gun, or half a dozen guns, and go out on the hills near tho lake shore t an early hour in the morning, having a number of “small drabs” along to scamper around and gather up the gamo. "This is absolutely necessary, for when they begin to fiy they came along in_ swarms somctimes 88 long 28 3 or 4 miles, and a guick shot can succeed in bringtng down a3 vast number before the swarm passes by. In eome in- stancea where the hills are very high the pigeons siriko against the billxides, and all one neod do is to have s good handy stick or club and he can slay his hun- dreds, Every other year numbers of sporismen visit this shore to indalge in the zport, and beeides tho sport many ccane here £o pack them for use in restau- yants and eating-honses in_ the large cities, This year We expect quite # large number of visitors for this purpose, and if Chicago sportsmen desire to get the cream of the fun they should be here snyway by the first of May. We have two lines of boats ranning here from Milwaukee, which can accommodate 88 many o8 ‘wish to come. e PEDESTRIANISM. TRE LONG-DISTANCE TOURNAMEST.
