1878—SIXTEEN PAGES 7 SPORTING. BASE-BALL, CHICAGU-MILWAUKEE, i Agexcellent attendance greeted the Milivau- Jees vestesday, and the zame was heartily cn- oed, especially for its many brilliant features. “The home team weat first to bat, and Harbidge “yos muffed by Peters. He went 10 second at acd sttempted to reach home on Start's i, but was thrown out by Holbert. Start was® Juckier, and scored his runon Ferguson’s hit. Jn the second inoiug and the thind 1o runs were ‘made, but fu the fifth McClellan’s bonnder was ulled by Folev, and, when he had stolen see. ond Cassidy hit well to right-field, so that Mac red. Hecould not have gone further thun thurd, however, had uot thie ball fotten away from Holbert. In thie fith inning Milwaukee tied the game py two runs made off errora. After Foley bhad struck out, Creamer hit to McClellan, and the Dallgotaway. When the rumer started for veond Harbidze threw beautifully to Mae, St szin the ball got away. Henuett then sent oncover the fence, and Creamer reached home, Sennett was atso allowed to score ouGolden’s D Tuis made the score cven, but in the next jnning tte VISILOrs touk the Jead with two raus ade off bits. Dalrymple led off with a nice S rhi-tield fence, aud. got ta Eecond on Peiers' ut. Guodman made a hit, on which bo took first, and Dalrymole third. When Goodman _ started for third, Harbidge e well - to . head Lini | offy . aud WY e, Dalrymple started for ‘home! Man returned the Dball prommtly, but fll’;c\:fupirc said ot out.” Foley’s two-baser over the fence et in Goodman. This gave the ors the lead, butin the seveuth the Chleagos old of the stick with so much effect that ey wou tie game 1ben and there. Remsen Jed off with'a Lit and stole sccond. Harbidge few out to Golden, but t brought in Rem- sen’s run by a long rizht-field hit for 11wo bases. ‘Anon followed With another right-fielder; and Ferzuson was sent to base on Lalls, filling them. McCicllan bit 2 bounder, which Peters handled ell enougn, but before he could make up his ménd whut 1o do with jt Maz had sculled over first. Cassidy hit a loug Ov tu Dalrymple, which was 1aken, but it nevertheless brought in An- gty wits Fersuson on third and McClellan on second. Larkin placed 2 most useful and ad- mirable bounder Letween Foley and Peters, gending in the two runs and taking second him- seif, iankinsou blazed away at the first ball, and got it oF into right centre far enough to rng Larkin bome with the sixtn run. This made the score 8 to 4, and decidea the game, as neither side made avythivg after that.” In the eirhith funing Goiden nnd Holvert cume in and Weaver and Beunett went out. The chanee was arood one fn that no runs and only oue hit were made in the last two trivs. Folluwing is 2 T SCORE. criicago. 147 P4 Itarbidge, c. 50 Fir Start. 1 b 5l 2 13 1 Anson, L . ot ol g Ferguson, &, 42 E MeClellan, 2 b EE 4l o) Caswdy, 1.

The mame was characterized by many fine Dlavs, which greatly delighted the public. ~ Cas- udy made three exceliont running catches, and Anson would very likely have caught something it some ove Lad obliged bim witha iy bull. As ueaal, Harbide was tue feature of the zame, and, thouph vainfuily injured in the eighu inuing. e kept on Jfludzfly to the end. He had a pretty busy time all through, for Larkin scemed tobaven desire to bit the ground at the bats- man’s feet, giving harder work than usual for Lis cateher. ” Larkin wus the ousiest kind of a fielder, getting several hard balls to handle and Iosing none of them. His best play was in the sxth” iouine, when he coverea fistin time to take the Lall from Start and put Bennett out. Sturt aud Fermusou also had plenty of Lusiness, and the former plaved a beautiful =ame, especially distingushine himselfl by a one-banded stop of a high throw from Ferzu- son.

All Ben- Tett's errors excent one were bad throws to teeoud. fhs eatching was excellent. Peters Lad a decidealy off day, but the restof the team were in_good Yorm.

The most_important movement amon International Chibs during the Ivec?;u;ms‘i)gzll: the disbanding of the Cricket, Club, of Bing- hamton, or, as the Builalo Erpress puts it, “ihe estermination of the Binghamton nsects,” It Was eaused by Laving no mouney to pay with and poor attendunce at wamcs. The players are likely 1o e widely distributed. ~ Ward 13 said to bave sirued with“the Providence Club, and is also assizued by some papers to the Syravuse Stars in place of Mavic, whohias, it {s said, becu released. Dickerson has been engaged by the Cincinuatis, and has arnved in that city, It is said that one or 1wo othiers of the teamn have gone to Oswego. The breaking up of tne Crickets does ot ereatly affect the stundin: of the leading clubs for the Assorfation’s flag. Buf- {ulo and Star are tied for tirst place and Tecum- seh is third, The Biushamton Zimes thinks St Heifer, Smiley, Stousbton, and Sboupe will 20 1o Albauy. ” The Bullalo Erpress notes tbiat Phillips, formerly of the Buflalos, has this seasolt been connected with three nines that have disbanded, viz.: the Live Oaks, the Eries, and the Crickets. The same paper also moral- 1zes thus: *““The system of permitting a club withous financiai strength suflicient, 1o carry it through Lhe seasou to cuter for the chaipion- out its schedule games abroad, pocketing the $75 guarautee, pad often much more, and tuen o throw up the sponge when the time for return games comes along, is 1o our way of thinkin altogcther too thin for furtiicr toleration. Some plan should be adopte ed whereby such irregular speculative ventures wwould be termivated.” To which it is proper Lo add tie advice o go softly; the whole idca of the Iuternational Association Is to see who can swindle the other fellows out of the most money. The Ezpress man read all about that some MONLLs a0 n these colnmns, But he shouldn’t use bud language, because there are balt-a-dozen more clubs in the Assosiation which will be suowed under within six weeks. A REMARKABLE *BREAR.” One of the most remarkable bresks of the season is the followiny, from the Clipper - Now that Indianapolis bas made a change of base to §L. Louis, Why does noi Chapman of ine Mil- waukee urze a sull more advantageous transfer of 4is Leam from Milwaukee to Brooklyn? Our peo- ple here are Lunzering for a good, reliable team to represent the metropolis. By all means let us have the Milwaukees, and then we'll sce if we can- not glve them a push up the hill nearer the goal of the peanant. Our local co-uperative nines are so diy ma interest ju uttached to tueir contests, that our people would rush to see contests between 3 stroue nine like the Milwau- kees and the tesms they have yot to play. Be s1des, we are anxious to seo the Bostons play bero, and ulso the Chicago, Cincinnati, and other clab, teams, The Milwaukee, under the name of the X rk nine, would draw paying crowds here durinz the next turce months, and then it wonld be easy to orvanize a very strong team for the grand campaign of 1879. "By all means, let Chap- man orin his Miliwaukee teain to this city, And this is the same paper aund same man who speut lastyspring aud winter in blackguarding the League. suying that matters were much better managed by the Internationals, and that uuder_the latter’s auspices the season about New York would be very prosperous, and the people would huve better "exlgintions than ever before, ete. Now, iu the name of all the saints, what has Chadwick done with bis pets—the Alaska, the Witoka, the Fly-Away, the Brook- 1yn, the Crystal, the Enterprise, and, above all, Douglas’ team, which is now plaving aronnd New York! And still Chad has come beeging around fora League club to play in bis city, and let him see 2 game of ball onee more. GENERAL NOTES. The city and countycinploves will play their returu game of base-ball at the White-Stocklng Park to-morrow afternoon. . Jack Nelson has been formally released from e Indianapolis €lubmand bas cone East to play with some semi-professional clup, The Resolutes, of Elizabeth, N, J., have been disbanded for want of support. It was about time, for the wandering Hurtfords bad beaten them. The second rame of ‘the series between the Oaklunds aud Uniques was played Saturday afternoon, and resulted in the defeat of the Unigues vy 15 to 10. An Associated Press dispatch from Worces- ter states thut Mathews, the pitcher of the Worcesters, has been expelled on account of drunkenuess. An cxchanee says: “Bond, the pitcher of the Boston Base-Buil Club. and Sull of the Lowells, will_attend Holy Cross Colleme, at Worcester, Mass.. next “year, both baving saved euoush woney from “ball-piaying to pay for educating themselves.” Dinnin, who has been with the Rochesters, plaging in Crage’s place, has beea left out, and has gone to tiue Oswewos. There is a hively pros- eet that the last-named club will be the great- cst hospital in the couutry inside of a mouth,— like the Buflalos of last year. The name of the Excclsior Club, of Balti- ‘more, Md., bas been chauged to the Baltimore Ciub. ‘A, fI. Henderson, connected some years azo with the Lord Baltimore Club, bas assumed the mavacement of the Baltmore Club. Mr. Henderson bas fu view the formation of & pro- fessional club in Baltimore nuxt season. The New York World of Monday says: A movement is now in proeress 1ookine to the formation this coming fall of a New York stocik- compuny nine, to g0 Into operation in 1879, Clapp and Bradley are talked of as the cateher and gitcucr of the coming nine, and the grounds wil be Fleetwood.” It is understoud at Rochester, N. Y., that the Dircctors are making a move for the purpose of securing at least five or six of the present nme for next ycar, thougb until recently it was Dbelieved Rochester woukl not put a professional niue into the tield again. ‘the Clab has been doine so well the past three weeks that there bean to be avery different feefing, and the nme may possibly be reorganized next year— ZBoston Heraid. o Chadwick, in the fTorld, prophesics that Bos- ton will win the pennant, with Chicago second, and Cincinnati third. He is also {orced to make the following admission, which must have talken his heart’s blood, in view of what be has oll alous said aboutfthe Learue: “The League bas made it so costly for players to leave the path of honesty fu their dealings with their cmployers that crookedness in the League arena has well-nigh ceased.” Tus TRIBUNE has the pleasure to introduce in the following paragraph the champion ass of the generation. He is employed on the Indiau- apolis Journa’, and here is the _paragraph which entitles bim. to the proud distinctiou of the ¢st Lol fn the West: * Wounder Low lony jcazos will keep this sort of thing up, For six weeks they have lost the first game ot each series and won the succeeding: two games, It may be an aceident, but it looks very much as though the White Stockings were doing things on a system, and, unless there is a change soon, thiugs will bezin to have a decidedly crooked Jook.” No vuwinent is necesssry. 1n refercnce to the prospect of ‘the National Club ot Washington Joimng the League next year, a note from & £untleman in Washington Bays: ‘“Mr Young said Lo me yesterday that the assertion that he had anything to do with the aftfair was false, The National Club is now run by Messrs. Bennett, Scaulan, and Cay- anaugh, the latter & brother-in-law 1o Soyder. It is pretty sure that these gentlemen would like to gointothe Learue if theycanzela team strone enough. * They have letters from, Soyder and_ Gerhardt expressing a willingness 10 play here next y Bradiey also told one of the men that he would play here if be could get Suyder to cateh for him. ~ They had some idea of Force, but concluded they couldn’t stand him. The truth of the matter !s"tl.m they have made no engagements for 1879. The Boston Herald prints an instructive sum- mary of the Cincinnati-Indianapolis 8erics,which is a sévern blow to the theorists Wwho can seo nothing but fielding in a game. The Cincin- natis clearly outficided their opponcnts, and yet lost eight out of twelve .games. In every. position but_second, third, and left, the losing team inade 1ar better. records than the winners, and, thercfore, according- to the wurshipers-of flelding, they should -have won. -But the Indi- anapolis chaps cracked away with the stick, giv- ing Specky White a record that Le_cannot well beoroud of, n‘nd \rlhnLn:: m:’sur. Somb?hosr the averazes off White in the scries are: affer, .474: Clapy, .393; Fllat, .845; Nolan, .324; Me- Kelvr, 316. If any of the wild advocates of ficlding s opposed to battin, at the rcccrr]g!n question they way possibly learn something. In view of the remarkable way in which Will White was whacked about, the fol- lowing from the Commercial will be of interest: S Wil White's pitching was wonderfuily effect- ive, and old ball-men were: more than ever con- vinced that he fs the ¢best pitcher to-day in the conatry, sir,’ " The relcase of Pike by the Cincinnatis, an- nounced last week, did not cause much surprise to ball-players. They kuew it was_ouly a ques- tion of ‘time when either he or McVey must 2o out, and the manazement chose just as the puolic expected they would. They: bave en- graved Dickerson of the fate Crickets to fill Pike’s position. He is said 10 bea promising oungster. Pike has not scttled as yet where e will go. In view of the ardent desire of outside clubs to get games with League organizations, the Chicagos and Milwaukees have altered their arranzements for this wetk somewhat. lostead of playlue Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, as hos been the custom, they will play Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The first two_ nf these games will be played in Milwaukee, but Wednesday’s game will be played kere, a apecial aereement to that end having been entered into by the manazers of both clubs. For the last w0 days of 1ho week, the Milwaukeeans have cngacements in Cleveland with the Forest Citys. Monday, the 22d, they play at Rocics- ter. The Clucaros will_probahly play in Peorla or Davenport the last of this Week. * The play this week will be of the most futer- esting character us affecting the championship, idasmuch as Boston aud Cincinnau come together. These two clubs are bunched with the White ‘Stockings for the lead, and their play this week will cnable one to muke a lively 2uess at the winner ot the flag, In the interest of having thinas even, the Chicazo folks de- voutly hope that the Bostons may losc all tiree of the games. They are not far ecnough down on the list of games lust. The othier League Eumes will be Inajanupolis and Proviuence. It is expected that they will play two games in St. Louis, and next Saturday’s in Indiunapolis. There is suflicient closeness between Indian- apolis and Providence for fourth place to make their struggle a zood one. The Enquiver says: **Fred Waterman, of the original Red Stockings, bas turned up as the of the reorganized Korest Citys, of lockford,” It Ismot the sawe man at ail.—Ciicaco TwBUNE, Beg pardon, but the informution was gathered from the Cuicaco TREUNE of Sunday week ago, Be careful of your buomerangs, old fellow.—Cin- cunati Kuguirer. The Enguirey's statement is a falsehood. Tuz TrisuNc sald: ““The pitcher is au_original Boston manwho bas been in New Orleaus,” which in o respect resembles the stutement that he is Fred Watermani of the Reds. If the Znquirer man had_known anything about_the Loue Sta:s and R. E. Lees, cratk -clubs of New Orleans, be wonld have known that Waterman was from the former, aud that he came North with them in 1871. ‘There is o singular differcnce In the facts about the two games of Thursday as iven in diflerens papers. “As o the Providence-Cinclnnati game, Tor instancé, o dispaten _to the Globe-Democrat says: * Five errors by Will White, Jimn White, MeVey, and Kelly in the second, aided by three safe hits, gave the visitors five unearned runs. At this_Juncture Ioud criesof ,‘Pike were made by the Jewish part of the crowd, who are mi iucensed at his relcase, and bighly prejudiced aganst MeVey.” But there fs nothing in tie Cincinnati papers about the demand for Pike. Ler contra, the Globe-Demnocrat speaks well of the crowd and the prospects in the Bostod-Indian- apolis contest, but g dispateh to the Enquircr puts the crowd at 600, and savs the Indisnspolis Club will_not draw.any miore this seuson. 1t therefore declares the experiment a fullure, The Boston Jierald's London (Can.) spetial of Wednesdzy s: ““The people refuse to patronize the Tecumselis any longer, and it is more than probable the Directors of the Club will succumb to the pressure and disband at the cud of the week.” “The Chicago Club may pos- sibly think that there is one man in that nine (if it should disband) who would make the White Stockings the strongest team in this country. On- this same subject the following from the Rochester Demwcrat is'of interest: * We wero iuformed last evening, on very rood authority, that the Tecumsehs had disbanded, and that Goldsmith and Hornung, their left_flelder and piteher, had jolned the- Buffalos. It is also re- ported that the Baftalos bave secured Pilie, late of the Cincinnatis. . If ,tnis be true it is indeed important newsin base-bail circtes, and will make 8 marked differénee in the standivg of the clubs fu the international race.” QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

THE FIASCO AT LOG[SVILLEY On the morning followiug the great Ten Broeck-Mollie McCartby fizzle and fraud at Louisville, TuE TRIBUNE, in i1s dispatches from that city, gave some of the inside facts of the matter, and showed couclusively that, atthough 80 far us the owners of the col g horses were concerned, the race was run on'Its merits, there were a great many things about it the ex- planation of which by the managers of the affair would give the public an amount of satisfogtion to be obtained in no other way, € The first thing which the gentleman who organized the race and seems to have derived all the benefits therefrom should do is to clear away the mystery that surrounds BUDD DOLLLE'S ALLEGED - INTEREST IN THE SCHEME, While the preparations for the tace were in progress, a report was’ started, and gained con- siderable credence, that Doble had a hand in the munagement of the 'mare; fa fact, that she was under his charge and control. At that time Mollie McCartiy was suoposed to be still the property of Mr. Theodore Winters, of San Fran- cisco, the Presidcut of_the Pacific Const Jockey Club, and a gentleman; whose wealth and social standing made it impossible that he should be concerned in any transac- tion which savored fu the slightest degree of fraud or deception. Col. Conley, who arranzed the “match,” emphntically denied to ‘g repre- stotative of Tie TRIBONE, when this rumor first gained currency, that there was the shight- ert truth in it, stating that Doble had NO POSSIBLE INTERLST IN THE RACE, active or silent, and that the use of his name in connection with that of the California mare arose solely from the fdct that Doble’s car was chartered by Mr. Wintgrs for the purpose of transporting Mollie ; McCarthy from San Francisco to Louisville and return. After the race <ot Louisvile was over, a California man, in conversation with another gentleman from” the same State remarked that Mollie did not belong to"Winters at all, but was the propérty of * Lucky ™ Bald- win, Budd Doble’s fatherin-law. He turther stated that the purchagé of the mare was made while she was at Omalia en route to Louisville. This gentieman also e3id that the sale had been REPT A FROFUND SECRET byall the parties interested, but that he was personally aware of the transaction, having seen the draft for §10,000, the'price of the mare, sen by Baldwin to Omaha. All this, from sx\bsomj_cm. developments, ap- nears to have been perfectly trne. It will be remembered that, withis'a day or two after the race at Louisville, th tellizence was tele- zraphed all over-the egintry that the mare had beeu sold to Budd Do) and by him shipoed to Kankakee. This Wis'a very plausible story, but, unless Doble and Conley can prove that the story of the mare'seale while she was at Omaba was uutrue, they are placed ina very. equivocal nosition. Evén if Mollie McCarthy was sold at Omaha, as.skated, with the proviso that she was noi to be delivered until after the fulillment of her Louisville cuzagement, it WILL NOT HEEW-THE MATTER any, sfoce, for the b ?g: of all partics, the public included, it wotil) nave been better to huve stated this fact when the story was start- ed that Doble was mamging the mare. Col, Conley ¢oald mot havesbeen fenorant of the Omaba sale when he told & TRIBUNE man that Doble was in uo way_interested in Mollie, and a statement of that fact would not have fn” jured matters in the sfightest degree. After the race was ran‘there were some rather severc comments ubowiit maae by papers. all over the countrs, and, the Cincinnati-Enguirer, iu the course of some Fpinarks upon the sub- Jjeet, characterized Coujcy and Doble as ‘A PAIR OF SKINS who would whip-saw th¥’devil out of his domin- ion if they conld but flmi a market for its sul- phur-” This highly-colored statement was nu- true and catirely unwagranted, and when Col, Counley saw it he was a turaily enrazed, nud a few bints regurding the possibility of a libel suit being instituted sptedily set matters right. About this time there was 2 suit bewun against Conley in Louisville, agd_in conversation con- cerning this matter Be suid that two woeks be- fore thie race hie sold'all his luterest in the cvent to Budd Doble, @ paid the money ob- taived from the trade1ou a debe owing by bim toa relation of his wile's. Now, it bas been repeazedly churzed, anyl, not denfed, that Col. Conloy was more 'or 1¢s§ interested in the Ten Broeek side of the matéat and Budd Doble pre- sumably purchased this' interest along with the rest of the race. Couscguent! near as can lic_ascertained, on the,day of tac race Budd Doble’s father-in-law owaed the mare, and Budd was the proprictor of thy, balance of the scheme, including the crowd. This made the race Bald- win.vs. Doble instead ofi, Mollie McCurthy Ten Broecls, and a very, cheerful arraungement it o 1h In regard to the e CONDITION OF .THE HORSES on the day of the race, ete., the Cincinnati En- quirer savs: ; 5 Conley ve old Frank Ilarper $2,500 to run nst Mollie dlcCarthy, and an addi- 110 take, him to St. Louis at'the und that s way the papers uture C1 severe on the race. Mr. Conley ten rented the 'Loutsville Course for the Fourth of July, paying S300 for its uve and for the Doul-selling privileves of ithe Club. v s now protty defiitely known thAt it was the fatention of certuin parties to have turned the whole thing into a gambling speculation,.ahd to- have thrown the race whichever way the.,most money could have been made by so dving. The oiicers of the Club got wind of the affuir, and did all they could to frustrate it, and they weére successfil in their ciforts: bnt they should have doac more. They knet that nelther Ten Brotck nor Mollic McCarthy wae bing properly prepared for the arduous con- test they were ndvertised 10 takze part in, und they ehould lave demanded that such a prepuration ehould have been made, or. they should have can- celed their coutract’ with Zodley forthwith, and then given the public their reasons for so doing. ‘Chis corroborates what, Tie TRIBUSE said about the race the day adter it was run, suggestion that the” Louidville Jocke! Jnew of the condition of tue horses, and should have cauceled the contract with Conley, is a proper one. The Club claims to be a very high- toned orgenization, but it; permitted the most outrageous swindles to be perpotrated on the patrons of its grounds the day the race was rup, in the matter of programmes, jce-water, etc., the Club’s main object, scewinzly, being TO GOUGE THE UNFORTUNATE STRANGER at every possible opportunity. The St. Louis ‘Globe-Demucrat presents this phase of the mat- Ler very nicely, as follows; Not only war every law of hospitality violated, but it secinedyns if there was an emulation as to ‘who could perpetrate the bigeest gonge.

Lousyille will probably have cause torepent of her shabby conduet. On the whole, it is hizhly probable that the next man who thinke of getting up n great “match? between well-known lorses will re- flect on the fate of Doble and Conley, and con- clude to indefinitely postpoue bis operutions in that line. » S : RACES AGAINST TINE. There is a_gencral disposition i turf circles, and the puhlic mind generally, to rerard, if not. with Jistrosc and_suspicion, at least with fndif- ference, the. trials against time, oa which sd many cquine’ reputations have'been built. It is“argued ‘that the fact that Ten Broeck has’run one, two, thrce,” and’ four miles fn.the fastest time on record ¥ for those . ‘distances, does not by any means prove thit' he is the best borse in the couutry; or even that he ia- the euperior of animals tiat could ‘not acvomplish the feats'in this line tht he bas performed. - 7 There i$ o ‘great” differerce between runritng against’ time and dofng tlie same’ amount of work’m & race with, 2 ficld of’ horses, and the thne trial IS vastly in'favorof |~ "7 ‘01X FAINT-HEARTED ANDMAL, o suchi “as Ten Brock is claimed by many to be. In‘théfirst place, there is nothing to bother him. ‘The day fs perfect, and the track fastand {n first- class condition, or the triil would not be ruo. Then a stable companion isgent along with the trial horse to make the pace just exactly what Isrequired. He has the track all to himself, is glven the advantaze of o running start, going under the wirc at. fuli - speed, gt is . mot obliged © to flght his way throuzha lot of horses, all of whom are strug- gling bard for the lead, and perhaos pull to the. outside to aet clear of them. - In view of these Iacts, a great many people do not regard ' TEN BROECK’S TRIAL PERFORMANCES 28 anything wonderfal, since his time at lh distances has been nearly equaled by other horses in actual races, who P 10 speclally prepared track, or stable companion to accom- .pany them, but took things as they found them, ruuning - just fast enouzh to léad a -field of horses hoine, there being no effort to beat time, and the jockeys not knowing how fast they were going. And the strictures applied to the time trials of runnivg horses are also in a measure true of similar coutests by trotters. There are plenty of these that can show a very fast mile when not hothered by other horses, who, if pitted in -arace agaiust “animals that can stay right with them from wire to wire, will give it up aud be . INGLORIOUSLY DEFEATED. Smugeler is one of these. It is sall very well for the admirers of a horse to invent excuses in Wwhich to ights, ete., play 2 prominent part; but many of the wild breaks which end in tos- welzht trotters being distanced are due more toa faint heart than nny disarrangement of mechanical appliances. No amount of fancy “Axics” can make a dend-game trot- ter _out . ‘of a soft-hearted = horse, and the sooner the friends of animals affected With 2 want of resolution quit presenting this kwd of excuses for defeat, the better. LULA 1S ANOTHER TROTTER that can show a very fost mile when alone on o track, and frec from the exciting influences of other horses, the ring of the Judges' bell, and the inevitable noise and coufusion which at- tends a race. Put this mare in a_free-for-alt race, and the chances are that she will not zet a vlace. But her failure as a trotter is not duc to quitting, for she is too well bred to stop, but to a peculfur uervous orgenization almost always found in trotters with' a strone dash of thoroughbred blood in thefr vetns, and of which Lula aud Grafton are’ guod examoles. There are manv other trotters that in trial contests would prove formidable competitors of the present record, who in actusl races are never considered dangerous, but a list is not necessa- £¥. - When animals like GOLDSMITIL MATD AND RARUS, after defeating all that oppose them, are used for trotting against time, nobody'doubts their claims to greatness, because they have been proven in many u hard strugele; but Iet an ani- mal whose only claim on the public was the ability to trot "a mile in fast time, endeavor to travel around asa “star,” and the attendance at its exhibitions would be slim indeed. A REAL FOUR-MILE RACE. Inorder that the readers of Tiz TRIBUNE may learn something of how a four-mile heat race can be won by a rood horse, and not a [uint-bearted fellow Jike Ten Brocck, who in bhis recent mateh with Mollie MeCurthy fairly stageered through the \last mile, and reeled under the wire fo such a state of exhaustion that it wus doubtfal whether be would live or die. 'The race iu question was run by Lexing- ton and Lecompte at New Orleans, Aoril 24, 1855, both being four years old. g TILE SECOND HEAT {s described by & writer -of that period as fol- ows: At length the tap of the dram came, and instant- 1y it struck the stetionary stcods leaped forward Wwith o start that sent everybody's heart into sne month.

Much ingenuity has ‘been expended to make it aopear that the failure to put up the, lacking §1,000 was due to the fact that Frank* Parker, whose allezed duty it was to putit up, had been ~ disabled by an_accident. But did ‘haefer, upon being notified Dby the stake-hold- ¢r’s cashier, telegraph to Parker in New Jersey? Not ut all. * He telegraphed to Chicago, whence, as bie knew, the money had to come, if it was to come at all.

It was not until the issue of his paper of July 6 tnat the stakeholder notified me. That Dotification also contained the telogram ad- dressed to the stakeholder by Schaefer's repre- sentative: Citicaco, July 2.—Did you receiye the S1.000 telewraphed you yesterday? - L. BENSINGEN.

There lave been four tays since I was awarded forfeit in which the match could have been carried forward, 1 proposed two of these ways: for the other side to make 2ood for the mouey forfeited or for them to increase toe stake, and thus cover their present loss in the event of iny being defeated. The other two propositions could not, in_ood taste, have emunated trom me, aud S0 Ishall not mention them. As a matter offact, the representativesof Mr. Schae- {er have made but two propositions.

' Many rushed forwara and sought to carry the victor about the track. e was escortéd to his room by his attendants, after walking once more round the track to show himself to the audience, and bis fect were examined. There was not a bjister, not a cal- lous, und no inflammation to speak of. ItIs evi- dent that Schmehl is 2 good walker, as he left te track iu fine condition, and thouzht be could walk twenty-flve miles more if necessary, Ie walked his 250 miles in seventy-three hours aud fifty minutes, beating Q’Leary’s time by con- siderable,—that is, with odds riven by O'Leary. Schmebi was to walk his 230 miles while O'Leary was walkine his 275, though it was gencrally understood that the. two men - were not walkivg - against each other, but against time. O’Leary’s best record for a 230-mile wallk i3 67:44:26, while Schmchl’s time for the same distance was 73:50, a differ- coce of atrifle over six Lours. He made his 240th mile in cleven minutes od twenty sce- onds, and his 250th In cleven miautes and six- teen seconds. After Schmchl left the track, the crowd ressed forward to ‘watch O'Leary, atd cheered im on bis way with zooa-natured aotlause, while one or.two.friends of bis. walked with him to give him encouraszement. He: had walked nearly 273 miles at -'the time Schmebi closed, and he was still nearly 28 fresh as ever, His 273d mile was made in 10:57, his 274th in 11:02, and his last mile was made i 10:50. He tinishedat 10:33 o'clo He was taken off the track in fin ndition,: ‘was sponeed off, and then he retired to Lis dressing- | room. where he was ‘met by a number of bis {riends. T sfon, and -asked Alr. O'Leary: about a dispaten which fv bad been rumored that he:rcceived {rom his, backer, Al Smith. last’ evening, ‘stag<: ing: that- he . had received . .a- chal- glass ‘balls in 500 minates with Winchester rifles. The shooter used six rifles, Re was dressed s lizhtly as possible, and Jooked i splendid condition. Twenty barrels of glasa balls confronted him a8 he stepped forward to the place arranged. Before begin- ning to shoot, he sald he was not overconfident as to the result, and onty knew he wonld not attempt the feat again for $20,000, and was sorry be had acreed to perform it. He wonld give any men §500 who would shoot the same number of balls from a post. The first thousand balls were broken fn one } hour and seven minutes, the misses averaging about oae tn thirty shots, and the Doctor befng - twenty-two minutes -ahead of time. By this time his eyes began to smart and trouble him seriously, the dust and erime mingling with the perspiration on his face, and working into his eyes in spite of all precautions. When through with his feat. never before at- tempted, as it probably never will be again, the Doctor said he had shot half bliud almost _from {.:w start, and nothinz vould- lnduce him to try aver. The cartridges were loaded with forty. in3 of powder and 200 prains of lead, lnd’lfi?‘ - colt of each shot was tremendous, but the Doc- tor. never flinched, though after the first 1,000 shots the pain in bis shoulder must have been ereat. Hisonly and great trouble was with his eyes. The water, In spite of careful cleaning, clung to the puus, and with each discharge was spurted dircetly into Dr. Carver’s face and eves. Shortly after 3 o’clock, when at the end of his thirty-first hundred, and ecleven minates ahead ol his time, ne retired to the hotel for half an hour, ekianged his clothes, took some beef ten, and bathed his eyes, On his return, elevenmins ute:dbtchmd time, he began shooting Wwith great rapidity. . Although. during the day the crowd of spea- tators was at 10 time great, between 8,000 and 4,000 ‘ge ons watched the shooting at different perio The successful shots reached 4,000, 5,000, and the cxcited crowd pressed closely aoout the shooter. The man, who was a perfect specimen of manhood in the morning, had be- come nearly blind. Jle calls out “For God’s sake, boys,” Low much more hava I ot to dod" *Just 100 more, and cighteen misntes to do them in,” seems to revive -him. Sud- denly @ cheer announced tho task completed. Then the gun falls from his grasp and hie is carried away b a carrlage, his task done and ten minutes to spare. He was taken to the hotel and put to bed, where he suffered mauch with his eyes. He says he aid not see hundreds of the balls at which he fired. He fired in ail 6,208 shots, CHICAGO Vi WARREN.

CHicAGo, July 11.—The public in Chlcago wonder why this Farragut Boat-Club are not more proficient in the art of fust rowiog, Tne Club has a larze membership, an clegunt boat~ house, stoéked with elehteen or twenty boats, and why is it that their crews sent to regattas about the country to represent the Club are so often beaten by small-town ecrews, with whom they compete every seuson? The Farrawuts, out of sixty-ive members (so sar the newspa~ pers), ougzht to present a ‘crew that could walk away with anything in the country, not except- ing the Culumbias or the Shoe-wae-cae-mettes, or even the powerful Molines. In answer to all these surmises asd surprises T wonld llke to explain. The publicare misinformed or have erruneous ideas in rezard to the purposes of the Club. We hiave a social Club as well as a Boat- Club, and are organized for the purpose of en- abling the members to ewjog the pleas- ures of rowing on the lake in safe boats, and all the coovenicoces a good buuthouse pleasantls Jocated can sup- ply. Al flrst-class Loat-racing is done fn shell boats, aud In Chicazo we have no sultable water for that kind of rowing. The slightest breeze canses the water fu the lake to be too rough for shell boats. and It is only selaom that & crew can practice for speed. ¢ ‘The Farraguts make no great pretensions in the racing line, for the reasans above stated, as well as that the members are all business men, whose only leisure hours are in the evening. There is much sport contiected with attending and taking part in a rowing-regattas, whicha few of our menbers take advantage of every scason during their vacations, purely for fan and ree- reation, not expeeting victories, althongh many races have been won by our club, and o goodly number of medals are worn by the members to- day. "The nearest point where smooth water can be found suitable for shell-boat practive is at Riverdale, ou the Calumet River, a_distance of seventecu miles from Chicazo. flere the Farraguts own a boathouse also. where a few of the members do occasional rowing. Here would be the place to train crews as muny are troined | n the East. ~Sclecting men especially for each position in the boat, tie men to be those who bave no busiucss, in order that they can give their whole time to rowing, thelr expenses ale ways paid, the crew to attend strictly to traln- ing all tho season, and to work in the aymuas- fum during the winter, ete. This the Farruzuts have no desire to do, even bad they the means, aud, although the Club have a number of shel! boats, the mafority are bares and working bo;r.s, oniy suitable for pleasure rowing on the iake. ‘Lhe Farrazut Boat-Club have suffered many drawbacks since thelr orgunization which the pablic are not awareof. They have lost boat- houses and boats by storma, and only last fait their larxe house at the foot of Thirteenth strect was swept away fn one night, with sev- eral valunble boats and furniture. This sez~ sou they have not only bulit a large and substantial house st the foot of Tiwenty-fifth street, but_bave done so without aid from outside of the Club. As the house will cost much more than the funds of the Clup would admit, bouds were Issued to the amount. sufficient to build the house, and werp all taken us, aud are now held by members of the Club. \\?c do not wish to complain, but only aek that we may have credit for what we hove dunc asd what we are, rather.tnau to be criticised for not accomplishing that wnich we have not at- tempted. In rezard to the small-town crews spoken of, they are the very ones who have the best facilities for fast rowing. They have sowe small lake or river at_hand, where the water Is always smooth, and the boat-house located so bandy by that the crews can get thelr lar everyday practice . without -interfering -with business.. Furthermore, these crews are olten backeu by public and private subscriptions, snd. encourazed and. congratulated whenever aucse cesstul by the entire citv in which they Live. A Meuszz F. B. C.
