The meetings of the Grand Central Trotting Circuit, which is composed of the Associations at Cloveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, and Hartford came to an end last Friday, the four days’ trotting ap that place having been of the most brilliant and excitlug character, and the crowning verformance of Rarus on the last day Zhe trotuing the fastest. three cdn tive beats on record, the fastest sccoud heat on. record, snd the fastest third heat, on record—was a fitting and pleasing concinsion toaweek of upinterrupted sport such as was never before seen iu this country. As Rarus, uuder Splaw’s careful und masterly guidance, has been doing a good deal in the way of bredk- ine records this season, and 1s his Hartford per- Jormance made still further changes in that rection, it may be said herethat he is to be ¢ ited with the foliowing: & Faaest Tn addition to this, be is the only horse that has begten the Maid’s record of 2:14; the ouly ope that has beaten her 2:13 over a baif-mile track; the only one that bas beaten her three fastest heats. He'may fairly be saia to have wor the sceptre from the old mare wno held it for &0 wmany years, as the above table shows that he has the best record for a first, gecona, third, and fourth heats: the fastest three consccutive beats and the fastest mile on forenoon, of which the following is the sum- AMugge G foliows: Hinckley Bey. & balf-mile track. -All this has been accom- plished inone season, andin addition tqthishehas, trotted three heats below 2:14. Tne TRIBUNE bas been accused on all sides of praising this horse at the expense of others, and lsst winter when it ventured to assert that he could beat Smugeler in a match race or series of them, it was pitched upon by the Eastern sporting journals and denounced in unmeasured terms as befog entircly fgznorant, so far as turl matters were concerned. But abuse is not logic; billingseate caonot, controvert facts, and the yery papers that last winter were railing at Te TRIBGNE for its support of Rarue, and abusing that horse and his driver-because the latler would not cater to them exelusively in the mat- ter of important news, have Lcen obliged cat their own' words, and their vaunted “champlon of the world,” Smuoggler, has never even. so much ns shown his nose on a track this scason, while the mighty son of Conklin's Abdaliah, having been barred from all contests ngaiust other trotters, has been forced to take up the gauntict thrown down by Time, and has repeatedly worsted fn the most decisive manner the encmy which ali the so- called ““champions® and world-beaters lave not dared to face. In the, face of these facts, which speak louder than any words possibly could, the writers on the Eastern papers sbould cither acknowledge that tne horse has by his performances given ‘their utterances the lie, or quit writing about the turf. 1n other respects the Hartford meeting was a grand suceess, everv race being, to all appear- ance, trotted o its merits. On the first dav, Wildair and Dame Trot renewed the battle which has been wazed between them cver sinco the fun began at Cleveland, and for_the second time the daughter of Messenzer Duroc was forced to lower her colors to the black gelding. 1t is the opinion of many excprienced borsemen that Wildair can trot much faster than he has been called upon to, and those who have attend- ed the circuit meetfngs are almost unanimous in the belief that hecan defeat Dame Trot when- cver Lis driver sees fit to let him. Inthe2:2) race it was thought to be a -foregone conclusion that the wonderful young mare Proteine would win, but in that race she met Dick Swiveller, a half brother to Great Eastern, and a better horse than the latter animal. When Proteinc is herself, there is little doubt that sie can beat Swiveller handily; but this scason she has been managed with very bad Judgment indeed, and the consequence was that she was a sore mare at Hartford, and beaten in Friday, Powcrs and Voltaire, the borscs that ‘trotted such remarkable races against euch other last year, would come together again, and fof days before the race the betting on tise result wasof the hveliest descrip- tion, they seiling for first and second choice, Voltaire was not right, howevyer, when the time came, and was dr: Albermarie, who had been doiug very badly in the other Circuit meet- ings, on account of his tendency to break, was ag steady as a clock in this race, and took it straight heats, lowering bis record to 2:19, and adding another to the larze list already in the free-tor-all. The old-time campaigner, Jobu H., made a dead-heat with the gray iu the lirst mife, and secured a record of 2:20, something he has been tryiug to avold for several seasons.

UTICA'S DISBRACE. Last Sunday ‘THE TrinuNE had somiet. say ahout the Utica track, aud the disgra bareiaced manner in which swindles and fi on the public were carried on at therecent mee| ing there. It also intimated that the New Yorl sportiug journals. would £ioss over and cover up. 50 far s jossibie, all the robberies that took place, und it was right. Those sheets, uitbough obliged to allude to some of the more nutorious and unbiushing exhibitious of rascality. have donesoin amanner that would make no vue dependent upon them for information regarding the matter any the wiser. The Eadwin Forrest race, nas already been alluded o os a sample of what the highwaymen fo the sulkies could do in the wav of dirty work when they set about 1t, but there were other events that were fully as redolent of fraud and jobbery as this une, “fu- decd, the entire meeting seems to have been a sion of swindles, and it is no wonder that it disgusted not only those who we: but every decent man in the country who read about them. The officers of the Association have recently been doing some whinine through the papers because the track was not supported by the people of Utica, and telling a doleful ory to the effect that, of all the business men in the place, only fourteen purchased sca- son tickets to the track this year,.the price of the same being $3. To outsiders, the wonder is tbat even a dozenor "so men who had sense enouzh toconduct businessot theirown should be 50 foolish as to squander $42 for the sup- port ot such a rotten and thorougtly disrcpu- table concern as the Utica Driving Park. 1f, iustead of grumbling about poor atiendance and measte support, the managers of the con- cern would aevote themselyes to elevating its moral tone and standine about seven bundred in per cent,—commencing by handing their own resignations, thev would be acting in a3 wmuch more sensible maoner than they are at present, and would re- ceive the thanks of all persons interented in tur{ matters. To show that horsemen as well as the general public are diszusted with the con- cern and its dofogs, the following extruct from a letter by a weli-known driver to a gentieman jo this city is given. It was written at the close of the Utica meeting, and just before the start {for Hartford was made: The fun is ail over here {dr the present, and I think everybody is glad thatitis, I think it was the boss' meeting tI ever had here-fn the way of stealing. There .was not ‘s race trotted on its ments, with one of two excptions, and juis difficulr to eay with certainty that they were.

Higbie bid him in for the owners at $980.” By the way, the Highies got a fearful dose here, and I don't think they will come here aguin very s0on. One exceedingly disgraceful incident of the' meeting, which. was not tclezraphed to the Chicazo papers, was an attack made by * Coun- sellor ¥ Crawford and his gung of heelers on Jjudees, because they wouid not decide a race to st bim. “It is described as follows by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: In the race Powers sold a favorife againat the field. Richurd took. the first sold ag favorite. Auclalde, drif tho second, and them it was turn to sell favorie. Powers capturcd the third and fourth neats, and business in the pool- bor languished. until Splan rattled in winner with Adelaide in theifth heat. 'The know- ingz onea kept their money on Powers. while thosc not in the zang pought the field, The sixth aud Tast Lieat was an exciting one. Richard, who was driven by Johu Murpliy, cast a shoe, and did some Tuoning before he conld be pulled Tevel, Powers cume in winner of the heat and race. Then the dnivers, rabbere, and stable-boys rushed up to the Judses' stand, headed by Crawford, the driver of Lew Scott, Their professed object was to_ohject 10 the decision of the judges in eiving Richara third money. It was after 7 o'clock at this time, and was rapidly growing dark. 'The police had very thougiiticssly left the ground, the spectators were scattering rapidly. Crawford entercd his protest, ~whicn - was coupled \ith profanity ahd lanensge most ineuiting fo the judges, who are most reputable wmen. Finally a driver making usc of a niost objection- anie cpithet to one of the judzes, he strucs Lin in the face. knocking him to” the sloor. ‘This was the siznui for a generul attack by the drivers and rub- bers. One of them was knocked under o tuble and brutally kicked while Iying there helpless. A sce- ond judge threw one of the drivers over the railing to the eround before succumbing to the supenor strength of the attackmz party. The judge in queetion is Albert M. Usgood, wizo has been con- d for tue past ten vears with the Remington Works. Mr. Mclntosh, anojher judge, is a gistinzuished lawyer of thus city. The third judee, Tieary C. Buell,"iade vicurous use of his fisis, and rushed down-stairs and called for the police. No oflicers were to be found, and the drivers, after cleaned out™ the judges’ stang, leftin higo epirits. The episode wus most disgruceful to the drivers concerned. The deepuess of the dirt and diserace into which the track has falien is well shown by the following from the Utica lera d, which paper, however, sbould not have devoted itself so studiously to barking up the wrong, tree by Jaying all the guilt at the door of the horsemen. *ey are to blame, no doubt, but thefr tnievery couid bardly be carried on successfully without aid from the judges’ stand.

TRACK TALE. Maj. Georze A. Wiley, of Tennessee, who im- ported Leviathan, died recently. Selim, the sire_of Shanty and other trotters, died recently in Kentucky of colic. That “*basket of beautiful flowers™ that ac- companics Karus was not presented to anybody this week. f The norsemen on the way from Hartford to Milwaukee will pass throuirh Chicago to-morrow and Tuesday.

George Loriliard netted $30.000 on his racing * stuble last year, and devoted the entire snm o charitable purposes. Everything is moving forward splendidly. at the new track, and in a few wecks more it will be in apple-pié order. Mr. George Forbes, of Clevetand, has bousht the bay geiding Capt. Wright.

MOTHEK-IN-LAW ETIQUETTE. The Caffre name 'for etiquette is hlonipa; there is anetiquette of the family, and ctiquette of the tribe, and, amoog the Zulus,—an ad- vanced veople,—an etiquette of the nation. The women must uot mention the name of their father-inaw, and they bide or pretend to hide when the meet their sons-in-law. It used to be the custom at Eton for boys to *‘shirk” when they met 8 master out of bounds. Shirking wus a mere lezal fiction; 3 stout boy might hide himsell behind a slim lamp-post, and the master was bound to_behave asif thelad were satisfactorily concealed.

There may be married men in civilized countries who would like to see primitive etiquette revived. They could endurc to be deprived of the society of their mother-in-law, and would be glad to see these ladies *blonipa " behind o curtain or un- der a sofa when they enter a roow. One can bardly belicve, however, that the modern aver- sion to mothers-in-law is the cause of the prim- itive etiquette.
