Haxscox Rexarks: In recard to the above letter it is only neceseary to say that when Tue TRinuNz mentioned tae fact that the pedigree of Mr. Hans- com's horse hat oven fo.newh it unfavorably com- mented upon by M~ Wallace it d’d not intend en- tering intv any discussion of the subject, a4 its space is too ialuable to be devated to such pur- poses. It merely gave further publicity to the (opinion of Mr. Wallace (whica had slready been published), because the horse referred to was owned by u resident of this city. DBut now that the matter i8 being ventilated. it will state thit this is notthe first time that the published pedizree of this horse has been called into questivn. A correspondent of a sporting paper publishel in this city not Jong siuce stated that the dam of Ethan Allen. which Mr. Hanscom claims to have ‘been by Bashaw, Jr.. was not got by that horse at all. AMr. Hanscom explained this matter. and also left an advertisement with the paper comtaining the objectionanle article. It will be noticed that in epeaking of hishorse’s second dam, Mr. Hanscom eays she wxas by Russet and the imported mare, but Mr. Wallace ways distinctly that .r. Mcllrath, of Cleveland, never 1mported any sadh mare. ‘Mr. Wallace's knowledze inresard to this fact is probably much more full than that of Mr. Honscom, and the mere sssertion of the latter that the mare was by Ruasett, unsup- posted by any proof, must of course be taken as the word of ome gentleman ngainst that of another, and as Mr. Wallace i3 universally accept- ed as tie bost anthority in Amerles on pedigrees, i statement will probably have more weight in tie matter thon that of Mr. Hanscom, This paper bas no desire 10 injnre the chances of any man'a horse, bat it would sagzest that Mr, Hanscom carry his griovances to Mr. Wallace, the author of his r. had for savins -wiien has ann anced s meeting for th y and, as he acknowledges that zentleman as 8 high authority, lesve the Investization of the pedigree of Ethan Allen to him. That Is his bost. ness, and his well-known fairness Is a_sufliclent nrantee that no injustice will be done. This paper 8 nefther the time nor the inclination to enter Ll;n this business, as Mr. Hanscom seems to {m- ne. With regard to Chicago Volunteer, Mr. Hansco) 1t will he moticed, has a letter from o man I BloomIneton, whose knowledge of someboady else’s horse iy, to say the least, uncommon. 1t 1s rather slncular that 3r. Goodrich, who bred Chicago Volunteer, should pave known _ mothing about the extroordinary pedigrec of Lady Dia- mond, when he thought so well of her as to have her bred to a New York horse at big expense. But Mr. Elder turned up when a pedigree was wanted, although it does not appear that he ever ownei the mare, and details her ancestors with startling par- ticuiarit; rd to that **record " of Lady Diamond, com says that ‘* M. Goodrich told him £ha could trot {n 2:36." This 2:30 business is 1n- gerted in an advertieement of the horse in a very peculiur manner, it being **first dam Lady Dia- mond, 2:36," etc. Most people on reading this would suppose that the figures referred to the ‘mare’s record, but, as she has none such, Mr. Henscom might, with as much propriety, have written. ** Lady Diamond, 2:1:." Mr. Ilun<com s Jaudat.on of hix horse’s qualities is In bad ta-te. 1f the aniwmal is of any sccountas a sire his colts will featify to the fact, and when they nppear in racee, and secure records. it will be Ihne' coough to ta'k about ** well-known quali- ties," anl T the valuable stallions of which | am the owner, " etc. The value of Pliny, the last of Mr. Hanscom's stallions, to which he refers, was estimated at ex- actly $177.50 Ly & L.rge party of horsemen in thls city'not lon¢ nx0, when the animal ‘was -old, that being the amount paid for him by Mr. lisnscom, — a pnce waich nobody in the crowd attending the sale could rnise.

ABOUT POOL-SELLING, Horeemen all over the State fecl in good spirits Jnst now, the canse heing the fact that the lutely aliourned Leyislature “failed to puss the bitl pro- bibiting pooi-seling, While the matter wax und cided, department of TiE TRy he tu say adout i, but now that it has beren disposed of for a yedr or two at least, a few fucts may be of interest. Nob .dy will denv the general propo- sition that pool-sclling is o bad thingz. That fuct has often been stited by this paper. and isdonbt- less concurred in by o larye majority of its reacers, Lt the di-agreeavle and” evil thins of this world are not easily put cown, aod puol-gelling is like the rest. There have.been varlous reasons given as to why the bill introduced in the House by Mr. Thompson and in the Senate by Mr, Lash fajled to occomen law, most of which are as far from the truth 2+ they well conld be without leuving the country entirely. It has been said that mouey waa treely nsed by the track-manazers ond poul gellers to deteat the measnre. ‘vhis 8 sheer uo gense. Col. Manwur, who controls Dexter Park, the most valuable track property in the State, would be likely 10 know if auy such echeme had been brouched, and be can testify that no such plan whs ever thousht of. The reason of the Pool bn.1's defeat was the fact that nearly all the coun- try members of the ouse werc in some manner interested in tracks or ‘‘hoss fair" socie- ties, and s they were well mware that the percentaze from the sale of pools amounted to a very comfortable sum each vear, it was not to be expecie.l that they would sustain a meusure that threatened to aifect their pocket- buoks. Legialators are not generally tout Kind of men, and thode that relieved springtield of their presence last Thureday were certuinly not. It {8 all very well for reformers. who don't know anything about the subject on which they converse, to demund the avbolit on of all poul-selling, A far as bge-ball and elections o, they are undoubt edly correct, and will meet with the hearty sup- port of ull directly interested in those pe- culiarly American finstitut:ons. The managers of all the Leasue clubs would be heartily glad 1o see the betting nuisance avohishied, nnd cind dates for office gencrally tind plenty 0: places in whica to invest tueir working capital before election-day without resorting to the pool-box. But the horse- men and those who have money invested in tracks tuke an entirely different view of the suaject. With scarcely & dissenting voice, they say that without pool-gellin: they would be obliged fo turn their home-stretches into corofields, and their grund-stands into cribs for the same. ‘The per- Centage on the betting 13 what saves many of Luem from ronuing mto debt each season.-ihey say, and they ought to know. ‘The other siue usserts with equal vigor that if pool selling were ubolished tiis atlendunce at races would be large 1ucreased; that clergymen and other classes that now absent theinselves "would, in the absence of the pool-box. be seen digporting them- selves on the quarter-streich, and gazing at the blackboard on which the time i3 snnounced with thesame energy that they now devote to the spectacle of several fancifully-uttired young men endcavering to cripple eacl: otiier by Menns of ball and bat. They admit tnat no sight can oe more enjoyable than that of o lurgze fleld of highly-bred horses, with their silien coats, proud step, and gayly-aitired riders or drivers, But the gaastl box, around which & crowd of persoiriug vounz men are sursng, {3 what kills the thing, thev sy, and this must be abolshed. Perhaps this 1s true.

THE SEASON'S OPENING. The present week will witness the opening of the trotting ecason in the West, the Hrst event Uemg the meeting at ' Frecport, which commences next Tuesday and cuntinues four days. Urdinarily the early ill.mois meetings ure not considered of much importance, not even of a8 much a3 those in Michigun, woere jubbery is the rule and 8 fair contest tue exception. Since the passuye of the Pool bill in New 1 ork, it fsa generuily-uccepted fact smong horsemen taat the race« in that State will not be up to the h.gh and:rd of poet years, and om this account the Western meetinze are looked forward to with con- sidersble interest, The efect of the anti-pool- sell ng law in New York has been to send s.abfes of trotters to the curly Weslern mectings that have berctofore made their first’ eesay at Cleveland. Now, howeyer, 4 -‘dark horse” will be mno good in five of the Octolateral meetings, as there cap ve no mouey made in the pools, and 1t is & wel-krown tuct that even tie most successiul horees, 1f they de- pended solely on t.e wmount of premiums 1o be wou, woul. hove the valance on the wrong siue 01 the sheet at the end of tue season.

TUE FASTEST MILE ON RECORD. Dispatch ta the Cincinnatt Enquirer. LoutsvitLk, Ky., May 24. —The great event was for the Axsociation purse of $650, Ten Droeci aruinst the bost mile.—time 1:41Y, weight for age. \When Ten roeck was stripped andsaddled in front of the ladies stand. after hls})rexlmlnary canter, his splendid condition elicited a hum of admiration. His mone was tricked out with orange and red bows, and he looked well enonsh to run fura kinedom. 1is rider was a mulatto” voy named Wil.iam Waiker, who rode Lim when he made his four-mile telomph. To-Yuy he carried 110 pounds weight. Two horses made the pace for hin. A8 ne walked lefsurely past the grand stand preparatory to starting. he wa~ received with clapping Of nands and other demonstrations of ap- piaude. In the pools just before the ruce he sold the favorite azamst time at $1GU to $95, though in the morning hours the betting had been aboat even between them. Pre-ident Clarke, of the Lonisviile Jockey Clab, himself started him. and, at the tap of the drum. he sprans over the course with terrific strides, EarlyLebt, hs mate, was close at his heels, and made tae pace ay hot a8 needed. To the uninitjated he appeared to bea hite siow goine around the uppertirn. and there were a mumber of cries, " tle'll never muke it!” ** Old Time "1l beat him, But wien it was scen tkat he had made the frat quarier in 2414 seconas, these re- warks cea-ed with a suddenness that was signifl- cant. Away the gatlant borse sped down the back stretch like 2 8hot from a gun. As he reached the half-mile post Earlylizht was pulled up, and the tine horse St. Louis which was in waiting for the purpuse, atarted around the tarn tnrty yards shead of him. The hulf-mile was made in 404 se onds; and here 4 man.who had been atationed there for the purpose shouted to Waulker to_increase his speed around the lower turn. e darted like an arrow from a bow, and at the three-quarter pole, whica was passed in 1:L34, he lapped St. Lowis. :Tue pair came rattline down the bome-stretch. like a lash. St. Louis proved a splendid mate. and kept just enough ahead of Ten Lroeck to stimulate bhim to his utmost. When about 100 yurds from the jndges’ stand the gallant steed gave slight evidence of flagzinz, when the Wwhip and spur werc applied until his sides were bioody. ~1le nobly responded to the call upon bim, and darted under the string jn just 1:305— the ‘fastest horse in the world, according to the record. It wonld take a paze to describe the scene that ensued properly. Men cheered and clapped their hands »s if mud; while the ladies, entering into the enthusiasm, waved their nandkerchiefs i tne most fruntic manner. As s0on as the bell'tapped permittins the people to enter the quarter-stretch, 1t was filled with a mass of humunity who crowded around the nobie horse_and his owner, Frank Har- per. Had the gallant horse the puwer of under- standinz Enziisn, be would have been the vainest mortal Jn op of the earth, for the air was filled with s remarks as **The fincst horse in the world, " **If he were ¢ Iwould not eell him for a illion of dollars.” etc. As soon us posible, he was walked on the green in front of the ladies' stand, that they mignt have a final oppor- tunity of esamining him before he was led to his stable. Ten Broeck weighed 1,145 pounds before being trained, and i sixteen hands and one inch high. Incolor he is a_beoutiful bav, with white tips on his hind feet. I doubt if $109,000 would buy him to-day. Should he succeed in beating the best time on record for two miles next Tuesday. he will be the most remarkable horse ever foaled in Amer- {ca or any othier country. ile will be5 yearsold on the 20th of June.
