The one thing which is greatly longed for, heart- ity prayed for, and anxionsly JookedTor. by papers incities where there are Leagzue clubs is sume abuse of the Chicago Club by the press of its city.

THE HORSES AT DEXTER PARK. On the 30th of the present month the first trot- ting meeting of any importance in this State will be opened at Freeport, and from Dresent appear- ances it will be a successful one. A nearly all the horses that have been taking their preliminary work at Dexter Paric will attend the Freeport races, some facts ¥8 to their numoer and how they have Dbeen acting may be of interest. In endeavoring to ascertain with a3 much accuriacy as possible the real condition and epeed of each horse, the writer talked with the drivers, askinz each one how his fiyers were feeling, and then inquiring as to the con- ditfon of the other boys' stables. The answer was bont the same, and generally in aboutthis fashion: ** Ay horses are worsing beautifoll, ne as silk; ‘but —'s are all off, and — conldn't send any of his horses & half-mile better than 1:20 two days ago.” Eachonme blows his own horn and sets down on his fellows. After a carefnl sifting out of the immense amount of talk and blow the follow- ing facts were obtained: Peter Jonnson bas Neome, Mounroe [Chief, = Bashaw hoase belonging tn Mr. Hill. the clothier, and sorrel mare. Neome is off,—Peter will deny this, butit is & fact,—and cun’t trot a bit. Monroe Ch:ef is doing nicely, but as he has been given no fast work, the guesiion of how much peed he pos- gesses is an nnsctticd one. The Bashaw horse is very speedy. but has been given no severe work, and the sorrel mare is ** a dark ome.” Ed Brown, called ** Nosey ™ for short, has Joe Udell. Gen. Hood, and a half-brother to Tdell. As matters now look, it {s doubtful if Udell will stand campaigning, as he appears to be tender- ‘footed and inclied to saip a little. Hood is infine fettle, afid if no accident befall. will be a ver{lgood horse in his class. The half-Urotaerto Udell may pe & good one, but nodody hes discovered the fuct. W 1iliam Darling’s stable conests of Franx Davis, Sam Warren, and an unnamed black horse. The first-mentioned is always a good horse, and 18 finer this year than ever before. Sam Warren is said by eood juages to be one of the best green horses in the West, and has trotted some very fast quurters over Dexter Park. He has no record. Wilhiam thinke well of the black gelding, and Is inclined to to nk that e will make a trotwer. Matt Colvin has Uranville, Mary C., and Little Haonah. The former horse is looking well, and Mutt eays he drove bhim 8 half-mile the other day 1n 1:15%, which is certzinly fast enough for this tiune of the year. Mary C. s as fast as a ballet, bot o someswhat tender leg may interfere with her snccess, Uerrecord is 2:34. Crawford, tac well-known Pittsbarg trainer, has two exceptionall good ones in Jucx Draper and Little G{“lxsy, the former having a record of 2:27, and the latier's Min%’l 254. ‘thus far there has ‘been nothingatthe Park to make them streica their necks, and they will make things lively in the 1thinols circait. ‘Sam Crooxs Las a gray mare. and sll thatis known about her muy be emboaied in the remerk that she 18 very speedy, and belongs tor man named Smitn, who resides 1n Jowa.

Mr. Mansor has otfered a purze of 8250 for 2:40 horses, and six entries of good ones have been made.
