B THE GODOLPHIN ARABIAN. In the May number of Wallace's Monthly appears what purports to be a correct portralt of the cel- ebrated Godolphin Arabian, 1t being an engraving from & picture found in the possession of 8 Mary- land gentlemrn, The only plcture. of this horse suppored to be in exisicnce was by Stubbs, the celebrated English painter of the last centary, and that was so_evidentiy o monstrosity that It has never been regarded as sy accurate representation of the horse that occuples the most prominent usition n the history of the English thorongh- reds. ~ The story of the Godolphin Arabian is = romantic one, and way made the basis of 2 story by Eugene Sue, of which the following is a condens: tion: He was imported into France in 1724, and wus 5mid to have_been stolen from some royai stud in Darbary. On account of his style, he being of an_entircly cifferent pattern from the thick-set ' Normandy horses then in general e, Bie. was not well thousht of in Paris, and was soon reduced to the drudgery of drawing & cart in the strects. Mr. Coke, an Englishman, saw him, and. being struck by his blood-like proportions, purchased the horse, and fent him to Enzland, where he passcd into the hands of Mr. Williams, master of the St. James coffec-house, who pre- sented him to the Earl of Godolphin. For several cars the Earl refused to use the horse, but fnally red the celcbrated race-mure Roxanna to him, ihe Eroduco beiug Lath, a horse that was by odds the best racer of his time. From this time the euccess of the Godolphin Arabjan was assured, and his death, in 1753, was regretted by all who had the interest of the English racing-turf at heart. The Godolphin waus posssssed of a frightful bad temper, which, however, he did not impart to s progeny. He was aléo noted for the affection existing between him and black cat, which spent the greater portion of its time on the horse's back. ARISTIDES AND TENDROECK. New Yonk.

BASE-BALL. TOE WOES OF GEORGE WABUMINGTON BRADLEY. Mr. Bradley, pitcher for the White Stockings, i 1n an unlucky position just about now; he came here with the best reputation in his position of, sny man in the country, and with the envy of many ball clubs and papers. He had earned that envy by his success, and no doubt expected it; all he cared for was to maintain his reputation aud win for his club. To do that,'he expected, and shoald have had, a strong, skilifal, aua hearty support in the field, such as the Chicagos gave Spalding, and such as he himself hud had, ina lesser degree, ‘In St. Louis. He has not bad that support, nor auy respectable apology for it, £o far: he has been surronaded by some young men who were among the very best players in the country 3 last year, .ond who are among the most uncertain this season. Meantime, that portion of the press which takes an interest in base-ball has, without & shadow of reason, laid the Chicago Club's defeats at Bradley's door, and suid unpleasant things about hiwi und his skill; and a paper in this city, without caring to look at the facts, announces that heisa failure. This is simply untrue and unjust; the Chicago Clab was beaton yesterday. but not & run was earned off Braaley, and only one-half of the hits would have been scored had the chances been ac- cepted. Tue TRiBUNE does not often defends player, but justice shonld be done to the extent of showing at least who the defeats of the Chicago Club are not to bie charged to. The preeent is the irst of half a dozen years in which Harry Wright did not have a championship flag among his baggage when he traveled, and he has made all nccessary arrangements to procure such au article for 1878—that is, he has dome all twat Iay in his power to mark euch a score] as will entitle him to a banmer. e has retaned from his champion team Georze Wrizitt, Murnan, Leonard, O'Ronrke, and Schafer; reclaimed Jim Whate from Chicago; added Morrill, Brown, Sutton, and notably the last year's phenomenon, Dend, on whom Ferga- son depended so much last season. It is doubtiul whether Mr. Wright could have etrenzthencd this assortment without goinginto the centre of some. clubs already organized—perhaps not even then in many places. When be started ont from Ros- ton to make this ten-zame trip, Tue TRIBUNE thought, and eaid €0, that he was quite likely to win six, and very likely seven, games, The first two ‘games had no issue, the second two were both Jost, and #o llarry had to win the remaining 4z, beglining yesterday, tomake up the predic- on. e made a good start, ag no one can donbt; about 2,500 people kaw him do it, and hardly 100 out of the whole number hial any So:t of an fdea that the veteran could win the first zame from the Cham- pions, and a still emaller numbzr could be found who would have belieyed that the Chicagus woald throw aways game Dy atocions muding, when they could have won it by moderately- steady pla¥.—and yet that is how it was. Barnes ojened the business of the day with a s0fe one to left centre, and stole second and third: Anson was sent to first on called balls, and_took secon.d on a balf-passed ball. McVey hit 1o right to let Barnes 1n,and the latter passed the plate, though White fielded the ball home well, but_Brown did not hold it. Spalding sent a rattiing shot at Bond and reached first and Anson home, because it was 100 liot for anybody to hold. Peters made a sacri- fice hit and letin McVey aftera loug slide and after 1wo men were out. Glenn's slow hit on the foul line let in Spalding with the fourth run, all of them oeing unearned. Georze Wright began the game by hitting to An- son. and_the biz man mive un Idea of what the styleof the contest was to be by letting the ball elide gracefully by him. Leonard hit clearly for a baze, and White scot o high one, which Glenn collared. _After 0'Kourke had been'sent to base on balls, and when the bases were full, Sutton dropped 3 slow one along inside the foul line just out of reach, and let Wright home. After Morrill_and Murnan had hit sofely, Bond was muiled by Barnes and George Wright liad apother life glven him,—two bases on_error in one inniny Dby Glenn's mafi. This et in six wholly unearne runs, and disgusted the audience beyond descrip- ton. No ecoring was done in the second inning, bot in the third $paiding reached the plate with an un- earmed ran. being alded by Morrill's mufl of Braules's hit when two men were out. In the fourth” inning the spirit of mufling was acain abroad, and, after Barnes and Auson hag fictded out Wright ana White, Peters made a scandalous mufl of ourke’s fiy, and in came three more runs, while the audicnce showed a disposition 10 club Peters if ko bad been within reach. The only solid, respectable batting of the zame was by tlie White Stockings In the sisth inmmg, when they earned three runs, which ehould have won thein the game. 1ines iwas muifed by O'Rourke to start with, but after thut the work be- gan: Bradley hit just over third bug for {wo bases; Glenn dropped onie 1nto Jeft centre, and Smith hit a cleun liner to rigit for two bases, letting in Brad- loy. Barnes sl:o scored a safe one. and. afier Anson had been caught by O'Rourke, McVey turned one-looze and it went away over:Mor- rill, wiile Barnes went to third - and’' Mac to second. Thiugs were still promising when the umpire called Spalding out on strikes, ihough he imade no motion at a bull, and had only one within fair reach. -Peters repeated his previous performances, and the side was out. ‘The score was thus even fora moment —but only for a moment. . The Bostons celebrated their balf of the innipg by makinz turee runs: O'Rouke ot one of thewjhe went to first on Barnes’ muff. Sutton had a hit and Morrill an- other, and tl were ably seconded by a fallure by Smith. The crowd groaned in spirit but said wvers little. In the cigbth inning the visitors got a run on a base on called balls and one base hit. In the last iuping, whenthe gnme was lost, they plled up five more, the jconspicuous_ feature veing the way Bond and Morrill “reached irst on Barnes' errors.

Moy 10. —The season_in J0n- nesota was most creditably opened Saturday by a zmme between the Red Caps: and Minneapolis at Minneapolis, the home Club winning by a score of 11060. The return game was played here ine Sth inst... when the Reds walked off with the ball by a score of 310 2. Both games were witnesstd - by large and appreciative sudiencer, and the gentlo- manly bebavior of the pluvers. elicited the warm- cst encominms. Althowsh Lhe scores were small and basc-hits few and far between, the eames were both very exciting, the winning run in the first game being made i toe. third inning, and jn tne second game the score being tied—2 to 2—in the fourth inning, from which time till the ninth in- ning no runs were made, - Both towns are thor- onshly satisfied that they have each got the best ninc, #nd, to_speak impartially, ench have good reason to think 8o, although Minneapolis, to guard azuinst the possibility of developing a wenk polnt, has engagod Gleason' of the St. Louis Reds. As far a8 known, no change Is decmed neccssary in the Ted Cape, cach player filing his positfon In a man- ner that is perfectly satisfactory to all parties con- cerned. ¥ Indianapolis 18 strongly_represented here, by Miller in the Red Caps and Julian and Eden in the Minneapolis nine (which latter, by the way, are henceforward ~the Browns and mot the Dlues, o change to that . effect In thelr lose = having - been made).

"The third Fm6 between the Reds, of St. Paul, and the Sroins, of Minncapolis, was played on the grounds of the latter to-day, and, like the two former saines, was_hotly contested from fisst to lost, The resalt—>3 to 2 in favor of St. Panl—was somewhat of a surprise, 09 it was gencrally con- ceded, that, the clubs being €0 evenly watched, the advantage of home gronnds would turn_the scalc. The Reds, however, developed a fenrful streak of battinz, pounding Bohn fer one home run and one thrio-baser besides four sinzles; while the Browns could only get on to Salisbury for thrce singies. We are beginning to think that we have got tn Salisbury the coming pitcher; of course I Fecogmize the folly of predictions thus early in the scason, and won't say anything that T can't take back; nevertheless, the fact remains that he wears excecdingly well, and. when taken intu congidera- tion thet this is really his Srst scason as a pltcher, his record to date i8 very comforting to St Panl. Our games thus for are of the old style and may not maet favor in the eyes of Tak THIDUNE on AC- connt of 16w scores, but we keep'the errors down also, and the work, thoigh mainly confined to the ind€ld, 1s hot work for all that.

A few.wprds of explanation will set the matter straight. 'When the section of the rales which governs the point (Sec. 15 of Rula 6 in the 1876 book) was under discussion ot the League n}e‘efing it was found to have the following pro- vision: 5 Should the fielder, while In the act of touching tne ‘Dase runner, have the ball knocked ott of his hand, the player £0 totiched shall be declared out.

S0 s O The receipt of a copy of the International Asso- clation constitution and rules is acknowledged, and Mr, Williams, the Secretary, should consider him- self formally thanked.

It has almost lost its proper character a8 3 book of rules, and become a mere manafac- turers' circular,—the more 8o that the firm refer- red to has suppressed sucn part of the Pittspurs Convention's proceedings as did not suit their business, and attempted to convey a false impres- sion of the action of aid Convention on an im-. portaut point. The Syracuse Courier, in ite special from Mil- waukee concerelng the 4-4 game of Tuesday, abuses the umpire no end, and winds up by faging: “*The Stars found that they were pitted not only ainst the Milwankees but also agsinst the wm- who ~was jlagrantly impartial.” That the oddest” reason cver yet finding foult with an umpire. Lest it should be supposed that the expression was a misprint, it is fair to ray that the Courier isso rongm it that it used in the followinz day's dispatch where it walked into the umpire for his **tlacrant unfairness and gross impartiality.” Funny folks it takes to sup- port the Stars.

Hampton's Pledges—How He Has Kept Them. 3 Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘WasmNeTos, D. C., May 12.—A gentleman just arrived here from Columbia says, Wade Hampton isnot keeping his pledges with the President. This gentleman cites the following circumstance In support of his aseertion: Hampton surrendered totne ‘‘last ditch™ cligue, the action of the Courts with respect to-the Cham- berlain State officers, as he promised the Presi- dent. He has also, by improper means, obtained control of the Republican Senate. When Cham- berlain surrendered the Senate stood 17 Repub- licans to 12 Democrats. The full Senate was 33, but there was no_decision in the contested cases from Edgefield, Laarens, and Abbe- ville Counties, and the fonrth Senator died. As soon as Hampton's Lientenant-Gov- ernor, Simpson. gssumed his duties as presiding officer of the Senate, upon the resigna- tion of Chambe: Lieuntenant-Governor, Glover, he swore in the Democratic Senators from Barnwell, Edgefleld, Lanrens, and Abbeville Connties before the contesied claims could - be pussed upon, andin spite of the protests of Re- publicans. Ile indeed refused to entertain mo- tions concerntng these cases. This arbitrary act increased the Democrats in the Scnate to sixteen. Then the Republican Senator, Walker, f{rom Cheater wag arrested upon an old charee of fraud, lodged in juil by dJudge Mackey. refused bail, althongh money was tendered in bond by the best men in the State. and notwithstanding the fact thut Walker. even if zuilty, was excmpted from arrest for ten days vefore €he mecting of. the Legislature, he was kept in jail until the organi- zafion of the Senate, and the triumoh of the “‘lust oatchers.” This arbitrary act made the Senate a tie,—sixtcen to sixteen,—giving the Democratic Lientenant-Governor the castinz vote. These acts this gentlemai Insists are a plain vio- lation of llampton's pledzes, who agreed to main- tain the stata quo vending the action of the courta. The Democratic strength of the Lower House- has been Increated by sizilar means by refasal to seat the honestly-clected members of the Chamber- lain Honsc.
