Itis a dack day in the annals of the Turf, Field and Farm when it does not have something deros- utory to eay of people in the West who veuture t etate unpicusant facts about maticrs over which it jmagmes it holds exclusive jurisdiction. It is continually Leing touched ina sore spot, hecause its enticle has been extensively sbraded by con- tact with stern realities not at ail to its liking, and instead of cauterizing these wonnds and allowinz them to heal, keeps them forever open, scemingly for the satisfaction of howling whenever their jagaed edges come in contact with the ontside world, One of its most prominent sores is the pool-selling question, and from present appear- ances it is likely to get much worse before it gets any better. In 1876, when the vill prohibiting _pool-selling in New York became & law, tue Zarf, in common with pll the other Eastern sporting papers except the Spor(s- man, sdopted a shilly-shalling conrse, refusing cither to fish or cut kait, but Gnally expressed ina mild way it's disauprobation of the obnosious cn- actment. Still, although it does notl pussess the conrage to either attack or defend the law which does away with pool-sellinz atrace meeti unwillme that any other publication #hould do so, 4nd it i especinlly severe on the sensitive orzan- izations of its conductors to have a Western paper do so. . 5 Not long azo THE THnUNE contamed an article statiug, snbstantialiy, that (hg euforcement of the Pool Taw m New York, aud®he prospect that a similar one would be enacted in Massachuselts, {vas buving o depressing efect on turt interests all over the East, and U consequence of this fact, the more prominent Enstorn drivers were ar- ranging 1o brin their stables West for the coming campafen, Tlis etatement was based on a Jong interview in a Buston paper with **Juck™ Bowen and other drivers of that city. and the well-kniown fact that several New York tracks which had in the past been financlally successful sustained heavy | It ix to this statement that the Zur/ takes u and in its e issue It devotes conslderable space o an at tempred refatation of the charze.

Now every horseman knows that the reason of Springfleld's failure was tne fact that the Associn- Tion was crowded ont of 1ts rewulur pluce at the close of the Octofatersl, and forced to chovse o week early 1n July, when the farming population in its vicinity and on which 1t relies for” the major portion _of Its gnlmn:\gf. was busy with the “icrops™ and bad po time to attend a ruce meet- ing. 'Notonly uro horsemen aware of this fact. but 1t was forcibly impressed on the editor of the Zurf, who attended the meetingang ou the fol- lowinz week it the egitorinl columns of his vaper alluded to the fuct us follows: ‘The July meeting it 8pri eld waa not a ginancial success. _The Club lost money. but it has not loet itd nerve.

Nothl will persuade him to chiange. As one of the oldest Assoclations in the clr- cuft, e clatme that Hampden Park is entitled to hier old week. The Turf also cites Dexter Park ns instance where pool-selling did not save the track from financial disaster, saying: **I'ools were old at Dexter Park, nevertheless Mr. Mansur was oblized to take advantage of the Bunkrupt law." The con- clusion here drawn is o entirely erroncous and rranted one. 1t was not losses at Dexter Paric URF. Bow that forced Mr. Mansur into bankruptey, and every dnl;nr due by that track to horsemen was promptly paid. “Chis kind of alleged reasoninz will not do. The fact that the passage of the Pool law in Massachu- setts and New York has seriously crinpled tarf in- terests in both those States is admitted by evory- body who claims to know or caro_anything about the matter except the Smugzclerite who runs the Turr, and a9 his opinion is rapidly depreciating in value, its promulzation at this time will not be at- tended with marked results.

He argued with the railroad men; he quarseled with thew; he bribed them. Fortwenty-five ereenback doilars they agreed to telegruph to Chicago aud bave a car sent down, in which there were two drawing- rooms—one at eitlier end. In one room should Neilson be installed, with her party near her; in the other end Kelloge should reign over her melodious company.

But the beauttful Briton wasnot to be “ squelched ” in this summary fashion.

But Neilson bpurst intoa merry laugh, recardless of consequences, and kept up her chatter for an hour. Then she re- “tired.

JACKSONVILLE, 11l., April 30.—On Lincoln’s return home from one of his “circuits,” Mrs. L. presented him with a new horse and double carriage; but it was some time before she could persuade him to take aride.

On another occasion he had, as usnal, collcct- ed ncrowd of fellow-citizens about him wha were listening to lis anccdotes, whea the sab- jeet of horses was introduced. An old geatl nan, who, it was well known, owned a fancy stud of age, was_illustratine the good qualities of his animal. Lincoln remarked tbat he had oue that he would * swap unsight and unseen.” 1t was acreed that they should brinz the horses to the northeass corner of the square at a cer- tain hour in the aiterncon. _ The old gentleman was the first to arrive with 1ifs **bone-yard.” In a few moments Lincoln was seen coming around the corner with a rickety saw-horse on his shoulder; but oeiora he could reach the trysting-place the otheq jocisey had disappearcd down the alley.
