The danger ‘of the *tra- jeetors ”_class of words may be appreciated by reading the following little anecdote of the old Washington Olympies: They Liad gone over to Baltimore to play, and in the morning belore the game, when Nick Young, the manager, went out of his room be Jeft Ewell, commouly known as & " in posscssion, and charged him strictly not to let anybody touch | a small bottle of brandy ~which was on the table.

Special Correspondence 3 2 meinsu’nu, finrfl 18.—There has ail along been a good deal of talk about a nine from this city to represent it in the League, and I was to- day pat in possession of the details of the scheme. It will be entirely a private cnter- prisc,—rather a co-operative affair, it fact,—and under the control of Fergy Malone, who 1s well knowu -in Cbicago. He will be manager and Captain, and, so far s I can judge, the whole Club, as far as cxznniyd;uiou goes. tl:{c has sgll}l ont his business, and proposes to give his whole attention to the Club. I don’t think he knows yeb what he will call it; it would no doubt the Philadelphin Club of Philadel- phia if be could get into the League; maybe he will use that name anyway. The nine which Majone proposes and expects 1o gret together will be: mas, of the Camp- bl Club, p.; Malone, ¢ ; Baker, of the Altoona Glub, 1 b3 Shetzline, of the Philadelphias, 20.; Birchell, of the Wilmington Quicksteps, 3 b.; Dunlap, of the Kleins, s. s.; Tracy, of the Mutuals, I. .; Egeler, of the Atbletics, ¢ L.; Bechtel, of the Lonisville, r. £.; Connell, sub. This is witbout_doubt & strong tesu, aud one which could easily win from the Athletics, and would therefore hove a better right than they 10 be called the representative team-of the city. T am sssured that Lomas i “the coming pitcher,’” and that the nine are generally excel- the shape. of orders from The Canadian Association bps made a very proper distinetion_and offered champlonship emblems for two classes of clubs,—professionai- and amateur.

As near as can be re- membered, he was misteken. The Clipper announcet that it will not give accurate scores accordine to League rules this year, and, as a consequeace, it will not give cor- rect International Asscclation scores, as they are made .on Leasue principles, éxcept' in one point.

THE TURF. X AN INTERNATIONAL TROT. -For the past two years there has been consid- erable discussion in a desultory way regarding the merits of the Orloff breed of trotters, it having been claimed by Americans who had vis- ited Russia that the representatives of the breed establishied by Count Orloff were fully as specdy as the American horses, “and of their ability to stay therc has " never been. any doubt, as the races in Russia are generally threes mile heats. As most people are aware, thena- tional Russian vehicle is the droschka, a clumsy four-wheeled concern, andyet, at this way of going, a mile has often been done fu 2:20 or bet~ ter. Last year an effort was made to arrango 3 serics of races between Russlan and Amer- jean stallions in this ‘ country, but the matter fell through, owing to lack of time in -which ~to complete the necessary preparations. About the time that the matter was being’ discussed, Jules Gouyon, a resident of Moscow, and an ardent lover of fast horseflesh, arrived in this country, and visited the principal trotting meetings for the purpose of collecting facts concerning the care and management of American trotters. Before leaving, he purchased in New York @ complete assortment .of turf goods, comprising sulkics;, boots, toe- -weights, ete, and is mow Xintroducing them in the stables of his countrymen. From the light which Mons. Gouyou threw on the subject of Ovloff trotters and their characteris- ties an interest in.the matter was aroused among some Eastern brecders, aud one of them, Mr. Charles Battels, of Connecticut, imported from Russia the full-bloodéd Orloff stallion Solol, a horse that kiad never been driven for speed, but that was selected solely for breediug purposes. v : At the same time that Mons. Gouyon was visiting Ameries, Mr, Theodoré Ismailoff, a well-known Russian gentleman, who has spent a good’ porton ot his time in America, Was ac- tively engaged'in an effors to bringahout a series of | contests between American and Russihn horses, and has at last succeeded i se- curing five horses which he thinks are it for the work proposed. . BAD FOR SAGINAW. That freak in the Michizan cirenit, of which Tux TRIBUNE gave the history some time ago, is rapidly extending its . proportions, and toreatens to result in a general warfare. The cntire, trouble has been, caused by the dog-in- the-manger style of doing business adopted by the Saginaw Association in regard to.thear- rangement of, .the circuit. - Herctofore it bas been customary for the Michizan races . to be 50 aranged as to 'give horses. d chamee to trot all ‘the way | through’ the circaity then attend the, Chicago meeting on the {ollowing week, and leave for the East... | At the aunual meeting #9f the Michigan As- . manitold excellencies of thelr track; alludi Hartfora, ciations some six ago, the Saginaw men refused to accede to this arranzement of dates for the present season, and_fixed their meeting for the days already claimed by Dexter. Park, and which have been used by that track for its summer meeting for thre¢ years. As 890n as the Saginaw kickers found that the olber Michizan associations could not be bull- dozed into an. arrangement whereby the Chicago track .- was to. be - injured, they -adopted the policy of vigorous horn-blowing, .and have been hard atit ever since, First, they wrote letters to the Eastern sporting papers depicting in vivid lauzuage the ta the enormous (7) purses offered, and_ringing in the fact that there- was a hotel. fn Sagivaw, the latter fact being dwelt upon with so much earnestness as to induce the beliaf that the caravapsery was owned by the track managers. Atter salling on this track fora few weeks a chauge was made, aud under the genial influcnce of season fickets the conntry papers began to overtiow with paragraphs to ‘the effect that the Saginaw meeting was to be a success; that all . the best horses in the country had promised to be there; one unfortunate sheet, with more -zeal than sense, announcing that, among others, Gloster.wowld tdke part in the free-for-all; a statement which may be taken with consider- able allowance, as Gloster died three years ago. ‘The following . extract from a Saginaw paper is & fair specimen of how the job is being worked: In conversation with the officers of the Driving Park Aesociation, we learn that a number of let- ters have been received from Lhe owners of such stock as Gov. Sprague, Thorndale, Lula, Fuller- “ton, Hopelnl, and Lucille Golddust, which include .the !hbs‘ es of Dan and Ben ace, Charley Green, and vthers, who give assnrances that they will be in attendance at the summer meeting of the Asso- clation, which chmmences July 17. "The prospects for a succesafnl mecting never looked brighter, Horsemen cxpress themselves as well pleased with the date of the meeting, it occurring the week previous to the Clevelxnd races, as the horses will be in better shape than carlier in the seasen, It iy understood that arrangements will be made for a epecial irial of speed between Goldamith Maid and Lula to beat the Mald's record, 2:14. This will, no doubt, prove an interesting feature of the meet- ing, and will crease uo Jite talk in horse Circles. ‘This paragraph contains about as much non- sense and bosh a3 could well be squcezed Into twenty lines of type. I reward to Charley Green, he never comes West, and will not do 0 thisyscason. As Lula s In his stable the, trial of speed which has beca **arranged _will probably fall throush, especially as the Mald will not go to_Sazinaw, Budd Doble having written to Col. Mansur that his stable will_at- tend the Dexter Park mcetin%. Dan and Ben Mace are gaing through the Michizan circait, but fnstead of trotting at Ssginaw will probably come to Chicago. The facts are, that the Saginaw mcen, seeing that their meeting is liuble to prove a failure, are using every means to induce horsemen to attend it, but without success. In Its proper place, at the cnd of the Michigan ciuit, the meeting wonld: have been a siccess, but asa rival of Chicago, Saginaw must take a back seat. As the Detroit® Z'ribune very semsibly says, in alluding to the matter: The Saginawans some little time ago, got **up- pish, ™ and refused to 1dentify their intereets with those of the Michizan Circuit. The Association basa good track there, and thinka itself able to *‘paddle its own canoe™ in consequence. But as their race is set for the same time 28 the Chicago races, and two weeks Intervene between the De- troit races and these two, it is more than likely that Saginaw will be left out in the cold by Michi- gan horscs, and the owners of the latter take them To Chicago instead. The Saginay people are mak- ing efforts for a fine race, butit is not likely that -the class mentioned will visit that city, if it dis- covere that the horses of her own State do not visit' the salty, sawdust valley. WILL DOBLE EXPLAIN? The recent race between Rarusand Bodine, in which the Chicago horse was defeated in three straigbtheats,the time being 2:23, 2:201,2:2317, has been the means of placing Budd Doble in a véry unenviable position. When the:race was announced it’ was thought by Chicago horse- men that it was merely a hippodroming affair, s Dboth Lorses were so speedy that an up-and-up cantest would be very apt to re- gult in the winner's being obliged fo trot better than 2:19, thereby placing hito 1n_the iree-for- all races next smnwer, instead of in the 2:19 clags, to which both horses are now eligible, Bodine’s record being 2:19%, and that of Rarns 2:20. The California sports. however, seem to have taken a different view of the matter, and bet their monev freely ou the supposition that the race would be ‘“for blood,” the supporters of Bodine making that horse a fevorite in the pools, as Doble had publicly an- nounced that he would drive him, thereby caus- ing maav to invest who would not otlierwise bave staked a dollar on the result. On-the day of the race Doble wus not on hand, the glckmess of bis wife being given as @ reason for his abscnce. A man who witnessed the race says that one circumstance which did not look just right was the fact that on the morning of the race Karus was worked ont strong, while Bodine was merely jozged around around the track s couple of ‘times, when it fs well known that he needs a great deal of work to keep him “on su edge.” This is the third time snce Doble’s arrival in California that he has failed to drive borses, after consenting to do so; one of the other fnstances being the wagon-race between Rarus and Sam Purdy. John Craoks who drove Bodine in the recent ruce s a thoroughly honest man, but had never handled the horse before, and drove him to a break in every heat. In connection with this maticr, there is a strong rumor current in Chicazo horse circles that ~ Mr. gH. C. Goodrich, the owner of Bodinet was very much dissatisficd with the result of the race, as he believed his horse able to beat Rarus if properly driven, and that on learning the result of the race he wrote Doble a short but sweet note, advising that young man to send the horse home if he could not attend to driving him. .

This was g handicap plate of §300 at Newmarket, on_Wednesday last, added to a sweepstakes of $50 each faor sturters and S10 for others, over. the T. Y. C. (three-quarters of a mile less 80 yards). Donna wop_the race, with 83 ‘pounds up, by three Iengths, from Ursula (5 years), Playfuir (3 years) being third, and Pardon, the favorite, against which two to one was betted, unplaced, with the field. As twenty to oue Wwas [aid against Donna. her owner doubtless landed a good stake. Donna ran thrice last year unsuccess- {fully, but there was little doubt” that she could: have run fartber forward in her two-vear-old races than she did. Mr: Sanfol is a very sharp racing maa, and probably was Ro well satisfied with the line he got then that he improved the opportunity oo Wednesday to net $5,000 or $10,000 at a risk of 3250 or $500. Donna’s next cogagement is in the Park Hill stakes at Doncaster in September. She is a slashing big filly, 3 vears old, by Baywood out of Dot. Barwood was a full brother of Preak- ness, Bayonet, Bayflower, and that - famous strian, and Dot 15 the daughter of Mad An- thony and Laura White, by Glencoe.

YESTERDAY’S. AUCTION, Quite o Jarze number of horse fanciers and dealers were attracted to an auction sule of blouded stock yesterday aftcrnoon at Taylor & Cou's stables, corner of Wabash_avenue and Thirteenth street, but they showed very little disposition to bid, and the salé was not at all remunerative to the sellers. Capt. J. Taslor Berry, of Larue County, K; and George M. Munger, of this ci.y, hoth large owners and breeders of blooded horses. They asserted that ot more than 25 per cent of ihe actual value of the stock was tealized. ~The sale, so far as.Capt. Berry was concerned, was an experiment, which be does not propose to repeat in this market during the present tight times. ‘Mr. Munger felt a little chacrined $o thini that hie bad refused higher offers at private sales. The sale was genpine; all the exception, being ~taken . by 12 bidders. A pair of Morzan geldings, 7 and 3 years old, failed to elivit vhe admiration of the trowd, and were sent back to their stalls on " being bid In at $160, Golddust mare, s2id to i be worth $700,—a 4-year-old. dark brown,—hlso failed of sale. Next came a_pair of chestnut sorrel mares, fairly matched, tot bad stepoers, and Golddusk stock, from Gléncos mates. Thoy started at $200 each, and were taken on the third bid by Mr. Richards. Capt. Berry said he had been offered $700 for them at home. One ot Mr. Munger’s - trotting stallions, Clins ton, a mahogany bay, 3 years old, and 16 hands high, | by Membrino Eclipse, and an allezed thres-minute animal, followed, and brought forth: some bidding. _Started at $100, he went up by slow degrees to $210, and was captured at that fizure by John Swanbrough, of Waukegan, Sheriff of Lake County. - Mr. Mungerin{omed 2 TRIBUNE_reporter that he gave $600 for the lorse, and bad refused zood offers for him. olds, were driven out. for the crowd._to look af. They are light in build and limb, and said to be Arabian Golddust stock. From $200 they went up to $475, after thirteeo bids had been made, [ and L. A. Cole, of. Chicago, gathered them in. The span belooged to Capt. Berry. A second stallion from Mr. Munger’s stables, Was brought.on for slaughter. His name is Warrener, and he was bred by D. D, Warren, of Springfield, Mass. He was gotten by Lakeland Abdallah, and bears 3. goml pedigree. His aze is 4 years, his height 157¢ hands, and speed threa minutes. D. W. Kendall reaped him in on the aecond bid at $210. dark bay mare, by Carbeau, 5 gem old, and said to bea half-sister of Billy Boice, the pacer who was chased to making & mile in 21141 on the Buffalo track, in 1360, by Goldsmith Maid, was drivenup and down the street for the buyers' benefit. She was the handsomest aud liveliest stepper of the Iot, and Capt. Berry thought $2.000 not to high for her. Sbe was bought by D. W. Kendall for $300, the bidding commencing at $100. : Another, and the last horse, a stallion named Pliney, a _brown goimal, 154 bhands_hizh ‘and 3.years old, was] purchased by P. L.

Certain prominent men, be ever, who were counted on to furnish _»2 prizes, insisted that the professionals who might enter should pay an eatry fee of $500, aud thus have a direct personal interest in the success of the scheme.
