TODINE AND LITTLE FRED The 2:19 ruce at Dexter Park last Tucsday, which resulted so unexpectedly in the defeat of Godine by Little Fred, has causcd consicerable comment, and Tuz TRiBUNE has recelved various sugwestions and hints regarding it, onc amfable jmbecile going £0 far us to express the belief that it was thrown by Bodine. 1t is fulr, hawever, ta this individusl to say that hie did not witness the race. Nobody who was present and saw the desperate efforts made in the second and third heats by Doble, to get his horse on even terms with Little Fred, in all of which he falled, entertained the idea of a pull, and the sabsequent scvere lsmencss of the Chicago horse showed that he was totally out of condition. In the opinion of the paper, the race showed just one thing; that Mr. Goodrich gained nothing when he placed his horse in Doble's hands. ;Nobody will dispute Budd’s ability 2e 8 trafner and driver, but it was not at all sur- prixing that he should not be s succeesful with the horse a8 was Peter yohnson, who developed his speed. When horses are subjected to radical chauges, the resuits are beneficial only when the experiment is made before habits of - the animal are fixed. Now, Bodine has been accustomed for yoars to do hia trotting In a partiealar manner, and a certain form. He then trotted heats in 2:18 and better, and competent horsemen believe thathe can do it again. Mr. Goodrich probably knows his own business bst, but when be finds anybody thst can gev more speed and endurance out of Bodine than Peter V. -Juhngon, it will bea long time from now. * In this coonection the following letter from o well known horseman will bo read with intercat: To the Editor of The Tribune.

One of the best-known and most popular horse- dealers in the country 18 ucorge Wolfe, of Kansas. 1In addition to being well pusted in horse matters, Wolfo is also a keen oUserver of human nuture, aud peculiarly apt in some of his suyings. When enguged in setting forth the merits of an animal that is for sale, s Incomparable gift of Janguage and humorous expressfons will draw and amnege a large crowd, some member of which s wretty certuin to purchase before leaving. A fow \vccki aro Wolfe ‘muuhcd Chicaro with a string of good oncg, and made his headquarters at Dester Park. After resting a few duys he went on to Butlfalo, and disposed of nearly all his etock. TThere was ope aniwmal, however, & bay mare called Tudy Temple, thal was the choicest of “the lot, 'end she wus brought back trom Buffalo unsold. This mare fs certainly pos- sessed of great speed, and Wolfe was desirous of ascertaining just how fust she could zo. Of course a trial on the track dorinz the day was out of the question, a8 there are alwaye plenty of drivers and others on the the lookout for such events.” After cogitating on the matter for sonie time, Wolfe de- cided thata trinl by night, & la Dan Mace with Ethan Allen, was the thing to do, and accordingly t night, abont’ two weeks wro, nents for the event. 1ie selected 3 morning ns the time when there was 110 possivility of any watchers being around the track, and told bis man to be ready at that hour. ' But his he plans of secrecy were *destined to frustrated in_ a very anespect- ed mauner. Thero were & large number of running horses ut the track, and, as eaci racer has frow one to four youthful colored citizens m attendance on it; it will be ween that tne latter were somewhbut numerous, The night that Lady Pemple was to be given the trial proved to be Veautiful one, themoon giving a bright light, 50 that there was no danger of accldent. Bat thiy fact caused @ ot of the rumning very horse ‘‘coons” to Ait up and enjoy the beautics of the scene. About 1 o'clock they heard n suspicious noise near the entrance to the trotting track, and discovered Wolfe and his ‘man cautionsly hoisting a sulky over the fence, the large pate belng locked for the uight. Ty was enough to put ihe boys on their guard, aud they 1uid jow behind 2 edze near the judges'stund, and awaited developments. When tae salky had been gotten salely over the fence and deposited on the track, a horse wan Dbrought_in by the sl gate, which is never Jocked, but which ssould notadinita wilky.” The animal way soon attached to_the light vehicle, and after Uye nsual preliminiiry Jogging cverything v in resdiness for 8 sturt.” When the ware was standing near the Judge's stand, the colored boys #uy they heard the following conversation: Areé you all ready g 43 1 guesxs everytlung is all right; shall I let her go “g)'u. hold on; we had better take those rattles ©Off her leys: they make fuo much nofse. ™ The ruttles were nccurdlnglfly removed, and a8 the mare came op steaaily the first time, the word was given. llow fast that ile was trotted will ‘probibiy never be known, except to Wolfe, but ac- cording to the statements of the darkies behind the hedge, It must have been somethine wonderful. The pecullar circamstances of the event, and the fact that most of these young men are gifted with very bealthy imaginations, of course, had some- thing to do with it; but, after making aliowance for ail this, it is evident that the mile was done in remarkable thne. When the trial was over. the boys made them- selyes manifcat, to the intense disgust of Wolfe. They assert that in order to- 6till further mystify them, he hitched an old pacing horse to the suiky, aud drove off the frack, but they awear that it woa ter that did the fast work. & flew duys after this, Wolfe sold Lady Temple to B, F. Akers, E: of the 088 Stock Farm, and neither of them deny that she was the horse that went through the moonlight so fast ay to make the darkies heliove she was running away, * D12zY " DRIVERS. - One of the greatest nuleances to be found at trotting-mectings in all parts of the country are what are known as **dizzy™ drivers, the adjec- tive hcinlf intended to convey the idea that they are not rnr cularly well posted in the business of landling trotters. A )arge majority of them are youn micn, on whose not over-ample brain the rotting-horse fever has taken a firm hold, and who fondly imagine themselves to be embryo Dobles, Greene, and Johnsons, neading only the oppor- tunity toshow forth in a manuer that shall aston- ish. “A greatmany of this class are the sons of well-to-do farmers, who honor their misguided offspring ia the 'course they have Occasiont..y ome of theso Posey _country jockeys gets Lold of an animal of real merit, but Lhe majority of them fool away the beat part of eeveral valuable years roaminzaronnd the country with a worthless piug whose proper position would be in front of cultivator; attending al) the **hoss fairs " and hog shows in the raral districts, and oc- caslonally taking s shy at a meetiug in some of the Jarge citica. The manazers of tracks are on friend- Iy termns with thewe nomadic lunatics, becanse they are shocklngly honost, always putting up their en-. trance money, and_never making u kick when & pointis decided against them by the judges. In this manner they fool away several vears, and, Laving sown their wild oats, go_ back [0 their na- tive heath, and cultivate the somc:uulled variety of this indispensable cercal with Incrensed assidu ty. But therels another class of dizzy drivers, the members of which are even greater nuisances than the mossbacks from tho country. They are grenerally men who have been connected with trot- ting-horses for some time, und who, perhaps, have handled a few animals of merit. They are pos- sesged of the check of a lhflmugk\)rev{ncx\ih ire pig, aud have more assurance than s camal mule in front of a stone-boat. They are, perhaps, on speaking terms with some of the miore prominent drivers, and are continually at the heels of these s men, on the lookout for gome way in ' which thelr Javor may be galn- od. Under the guise of driver they display the worst featurcs of tho American hood- Jum and the Enclish tout, and witbal are genorally the most despicable kind of tale-bearers and inter- wmeddlers 1ato the business of other people. When any of their horsesare in 4 race, they at once heiin 10 fizurc on & **divide” of the same, in or- der that their operativns at the pool-box may be conducted on what {y known as **the dead open aud shut" principle. Newspapers In general, and particularly those which expose their dirty work, Lias the same effect on thess fellows that a red flag does on an ungry bull, with the difference thal they confine their demonstrations to 3 vigorous pawlng of tho earth and bellowing, lacking the conrage to make a direct aseault on the ob- ject of their wrath. ~ In gencral they uro obnoxious to all with ~whom they came in contact. The Splans, Dobles, and others, whomw they scck to flatter, despise them und their methods: the newspaper tmen buve top much legiti- mute bosincss on band o take notice of them; the track-mana:crs daily give utterance to the wish that they. were In warmer reglons; the judges of ruces [n which they take part eye them suspicious- ly from start to finish; and the general public ex- presses its opinion of their abilitica by derisive Towly, while thoy are mukingu kick after the {inish of a heat,—for the dizzy driver of the sccond cluss 14 alwaya a kicker, —and even the horsea they drive and the stable-boys under their orders regard them with the contempt which thelr conduct so ricnly deserves. CHICAGO V8. SAGINAW. Beveral months o wheu the Assoclation at Sag- inaw cinimed for its summer mecting the days that for gevera) years bave been used by Dexter Yark, viz.: July'17, 18, 19, and 20, the action of its members “way severely commented ubon by the press snd public all over the country. There wero weveral reasons \\‘hf Saginaw’s action was obnoxi- us. In the firat place there was no earthly reason why It should not take_tts.regular pasition in the Micligun cireuit, as It had formerly dome. By comine in directly atter Detroit, whose meeting cloges with the present week, it would have kad a full week in which to trot its four day's programme, and then have left the horsemen unother seven days, durls ich they could have shipped thelr stock 1o Chicazo, the next place in the line, before the opening of the Grand Contrul Circuit, which commences”at Cleveland on the week tollowing the Dexter Parl: macting. Instead of actiny in & rutiunal manner, tue gentiemen who unfortanately control the Saginaw truck concluded that they would assume the role of ** Big Injun,™ and have succeeded only 1n making themselves the lnughing-stock of the entire trotting-horse fraternity. The appalling ludicrousness of the iden that Chicago can be bulldozed by Saginaw can only fully appreciated when the relative’ size and ~situstion of the two places aro consioered. Saginaw may be found, by carefus scrutiny of the country, on the west side of Lake Huron, somewhat more than lialf way between the Straits of Mackinaw and Port IInron. Several yeard agoamile track was built there, which proved to be a very faet one, althongh #o hard that many horeemen prefer notto drive races over it. The meetings at this place have been very successful, from the fact that heretofore the managers of the track buve joined with the Asociations ot Grand Haven, Muskegon, Kalama- Zzou, Grand Rapids, Jackson, 'and Detroit, in form- ing what is known as the Michizan Circuit. But the success of past years is what promizes to kill Sacinaw in the future. The meetings at that Place are all vary well in their way, but when they come into collision with that at Dexter Park, dis- astrous resulls are certain 1o ensue, und it is not at all proable that Chicago will be” materally - jured. 1n order to make their scheme work, the Saginaw men induced the managers of the Bay City track to wivea meeting during the second week in July, Hoping thiereby to induce horsemen to remafn in Michigan until the Saginaw meeting, knowing that they would natarally go to Chicago, which is the moxt avalluble point for all purposes. Rut all nns were neatly upset by the Dexter Park ment, which offcred for its second July meetings ach money as Saginaw and Bay City combined. This was o staggerer to the Michizan men. Horges are trotted for won: and, when there is as much of that useful article lun’s up 8t anc place 88 at two othcrs, owncrs of tratiers are liable to pive the place with the most money a decided preforence. This fact was neatly exemplitied among the horaes that were In Michi- sun when the Bay City and Saginaw entries closed. Thoy sww that thers wad more money in one week’s tretting at Dexter Park than utthe two above-named places combined, and stayed away from them with euch unanimity thaf, a before stated in~ this paper, both mectings were flar failures, but two or three of the purses ut each place fAlhins ‘I'ie_horres now in Michizun are nearly all coming to Chicago for next week's meeting, und the New York party, Teaded by Adele Clark. will also be present. * John i4 exceplionally strong stable, con- Planter, and Lady Hoag, will be oble, witlh the peerfess Goldsmita 50 favorite, Bodine, and the Call- réo Volncy, in already here and will trot his at the weeting. W. 1L Doble's horse Seotland is hero, and old man Doble himself, with Lady Maude, will doubtless soou follow. John < Maid, the Chi Turner, with Nettic and others, will no doubt arrive next Wi aud it iy eveh suid that Peter dohnson, with the o tiion Gen. Grant, the Posey County burricane Neonie, and the great American banner fighter, Capt. Bun- nell, will honor the meeting with his presence. The Pittsburg delegation, with Slow-Go, Nutwood, Beulah, and severa) other good ones will certainly beon band. The iigbie Brothers, with Little Fred and Bertie, ). P\ Bissell's string, are com- ing: and these, with tho bosts of horses in the slower clusses that are sure to be present, will form ,a roficction of trottens not often equaled. On the Whole it looks bad for Snginaw, and after the men who run the track at that place have fizured up the receipts snd expenditures for the coming meeting, they will be likely to register a solemn v tonever again aitempt to kill an elepbant with o toothpick, or, in other words, will hereafter refrain from nr- raiiging theif meeting for the sume week a3 tlut durfug which the ono at Dester Park i3 held.

New Yorx, July 7.~Dnaiel O'Leary, st 12:05 to-night, the expiration of his eix days' walking time, had made but 4713 miles, baving accom- plished 7414 miles to-day. Last night he retired at midnight, was roused at 1.16 a. m., and from that time till the end rested only eighteen minutes. He left the track several times, but only long enongh to be examincd by his physician, Dr. Wedder, who gives o certificate to the effect that O'Leary has from the start been suffering from an acate disense caused by heat and chafing. Tho doctor says his condition Tendered it impossible for O'Leury to make the proposed wulk. The Iat- ter would mot give up, however, tiil the Jast minute. Since Monday, when he sufered five hours from vomiting, he hos taken o solid food except two slices of bread, having ilved on lime-water and milk. He was in better spirits to-day than at any time before during the walk, although the chafiig was terrible, ~The fnisi was withcssed by at least 4,000 people. The receipts of to-day, with tnose of the Fourth, will just about clear the expense account.
