Tnless the weather should prove unfavorable, the present week will be a brizht one in the an- nals of the trotting turl. The great meeting over the new track of thé Chicago Jocker and Trottine Club of this city begins on Tuesday, and. from present indications, it will - vrove to bethe most notable of the present geason. Everything at the track is complete and in anple-pic order. The entries to the Tarious events on the prozramme of the four days’ sport srranged by the managers of the Club have al- ready appeared in tbis paper; but as in most of the races the lorses come together in new classes, something concerning the more noted figers of tne lot will prove of interest. On the first day of the meetin will occur the 2:4050d 2:20 races. In the first the entfies are Star Duroc, Golden Girl, Jeonie C, Black Doc, Bashaw, Frank, Tekonshs, and Jobn J. Cook. Of course but little is known, except to their owners, of the spred which these horses possess, Dbut itis sale to say that there is not one in the lot that cannot trot a mile in- 2:30, or better, and probably some of them woull eccure a record far below these fizures if forced out by a borse as fast as tnemselves. Star Daroe se- cured & reputation Jast season by winning the Spirit of the Times colt stake over Fleetwood Park, and ss bis owner, Mr.”Samuel J. Morgan, is one of the most expericnced horsemen in the countrgitis not likely that he would enter bim ¥ a race of such maenitude un- less the horse had shown ability to keep his nose in front should the heats be trotted in the twenties. Black Doec is well known in Chicago by his performances as a gentlemen’s roadster in races over the Central Park track this season, and the horse that leads Bim o the wire must be a zood one. Tckonsha is the Michizan four-year-old that is matched to trot over this track on the 20th of the. present month against the celebrated four-year-old Kentuck$ Wilkes for $1,000 a “side, and it is known that he has enough speed for almost any class, Of the other entrics in this race nothing is known in this city, but it would surprisec no one to see the winner turn up among them, and. Golden Girl is especially to be feared, as her owner would scarcely come all the way from New York and enter her in two races unless she was of some account. At Cincinnati last Thurs- day, however, she was distanced in 2:80, being a bad Ureaker, and from this fact the public "In the 2:20 race the b Manie, Scott’s Thomas, Jobn H, Wolford’s 2, Tom Keeler, Dame Trot, Bonesctter, Little Fred, and Lucille. These names comprise = E galaxy of trotters that for brilliancy bas seldof been equaled, Their performances are so well Juown, and have stamped them ashorses of such undoubted merit that but little comment is necessary. It will be a race for blood from the time the word is griven for the flyst beat until the final obe shall have bech trotted, and to 10 pick the winner would puzzle even those who should best be able to make a successful guess. Mazo-Manie has speed enough, andfif the track, ishardit will suit him. Scott’s Thomas has shown such epeed in bis races this season that, when given his head, there are few horses that can pass him, and, if Fuller drives to win, he shomld at least getapart of the pursc. Bonesetter will be dan- rerous in this race, as he has the speed of almost any borse in the party,and could he but trot the last quarter of a mile as fast as he can the first three, the horse that won ‘from him would be tn the free-for-all next year. Littie Fred will Lave many supporters, bu it is not believed by those in & position to koow that he can win. This will be a great betting race, and the Judees snould have a derrick ready to boist out any driver whose actions are at all suspicious. On the sccond Gay the 2:28 and 2:23 classes will becalleg, and in cach there are a large vumber of -entries. Of the different horses eneaged much might be written, as -they have all acquired areputation by their performances heretofore, but the most experienced man in the world would hesitate Jong vefore attempting to name the winner. If Gum-Ball and Netiie C. are right on the day of the race they should be daperous, s cither of them can trot close to 2:20 when in form. RNy ‘The 2:23race will bring out such old-timers as Fred Hooper, Lady Turpin, Tom Keeler, Belle _Bmssflzld, and Lew Scott. They are all fast, but will have to mect in this race The Jewéss, XNeome, Clifton Boy, Darby, Lida Bassett, Col. Dawes, and Mambrino General. Tnereis 2 zen- er:\l_ belief that Darby can win this race if be is driven for it, and the actions of Mace will be closely scrutinized, On Thursday the programme includes the 2:34 race ana the great handicap between Rarus, Hopeful, and Great Eastern, In the first-named eveut the: entrees are Okec; Russian Spy, Roof- er, dr., CaptSillick, Golden Girl, Black Doe, Burprise, Charlie C., Sterling, and Grey Eagle. Most_of them are new performers, snd, al- thourh the lot undouvtedly embraces some good ones, nothing detinite” concerning. their speed is known, - . ; The handicap race is alluded to elsewhere. Frday is the closiug one of the meeting, and sbe programme iucludes races for horses of the 2:36 aud free-for-all classes, and a_pacing Tace. Of the latter, all Tue TrisuNE has to say is that the bettiug-men will do well_ to leave it alone, as contests betwcen. side-wheelers are generally robberies of the ‘most barefaced de- seription. _ The 1ree-for-all s the largest of its kind ever known fa this country, and iucludes in its en- tries Proteine, Jobn H,'Lula, Darby, Boneset- ter, Albermarle, Adelade, Lattle Fred, Lu- cille, and Lew Scott, Such names as these are a suflicient puarantee that it will be a despe- Tate contest, aud remarkable time may be look- edlfor.

With nis hisfory and per- formances the readers of this paper are familiar, as they have been commented _upon from time t0 time. He was foaled in 1867, the property of R. B, Conklin, ol Greenpoint, L. -1., whoalso owned his sircand dam, the former said to be by Abdallah (the sire of Ham- bletonian), and the latter by Telegraoh. His trotting _career was entered upon in 1874, and his march tothe highest honors of the turf has indeed been = rapid one. During his first sea- son Rarus was the winner of several creditable and well-contested races, going Into swinter quarters with arccord of 2:281¢. In 1875 he made his first essay in the Eastern Circuit, starting in the 2.27 class, and on the road from _Cleveland to. Hartford some of the then most poted fiversin the country were compelled to lower their colors to the bix, sreen- Jooking bay gelding that moved along with a commanding stride and head hizh in the air. At Cleveland hewon, petting arecord_of 2:333¢, and repeated the performance at Rochester, Ctica, and Hertford; at the latter place carrying away the money in straight heats, zetting a record of 2:203¢, which he did not lower that year. 1o 1876 ne had an easy thivg through the Septilateral, winning the 2:20 race at every point ex:ept Cleveland without being oblized to lower his record. He then went to NewY ork, aud at Fleetwood Park, Oct. 26, beat. Lula, Great Eastern, Judze Fullerton, and others, includiug the duffer Smuggler, in a hot race, winning the fifth heat in 2:203¢; with which mark against Lim he closed the season. He then went to California, where he trotted In several exhibitions of speed with Goldsmith Maid, but when it came to a race for blood he defeated the old mare easi- ly enough, lowering his record to 2:19}. Last year he made a clean sweep of the 9:19 race through the Central Circuit, and also won the two frec-for-all races in_which he was start- ed. Hescored six victories, and carried away £9,000 in purses from this circnit, and emerged from it with a record of 2:16, made at Roches- ter. This senson he was accorded an honor iven to but one horse before him,—Goldsmith Maid,—belug barred everywhere in the free-for- Sliraces. He then started in his great races against time, the results of which have made his pame familiar and famous wherever the trotting horse is kuown. At Cleveland he trotted ihe three fastest consecutive heats on _ record.—beating the Alaid, which = snd _stood unchallenged nce 1576, At Bufalo the great horse ecliv.ad ‘all the previous records, trotting a mile in 9:18%{. At Hartford he fairly covered himself and driver (Jon Splan) with glory, troting 1wo heats in 2:13}¢, 2:13), and_aeain lowering the record for tbree consecutive beats. With his Jater performances the readers of this column sre so familiar that po allusion to them is neces- sary at this time. He has trotted the fastest miie on record, the fastest first, second, third, and fourth heats, the fastest mile over a balf- mile track, and the fastest three consceutive ~heats, . Walt he.win. bis race next Thursday? is the query on all hands. Iiis. admircrs are con- fident of his ability to defeat the gray gelding that has trotted such wonderful heats this sea- on, ana the biz son of Walkill Chief, cven fohen Landicapped by the additional weight of a wagon, He will reach the city Wednesday from St. Louis. Raru is the only ereat trotter that has never changed owners, being still the prop- erty of Mr. Conklin. Topeful is a gray welding by Godfrey’s Patch- cn, and on his dam’s side traces back to imp. Messeuger, through Winthrop Messenzer a son of the old horse. He is now. 11 years old, and first appeared on the turf in 1573, when he trotted several races, obtaining a record of 2:25, In1Stt hewon flve good races, the Chicazo liorse Bodine alone being able to beat him. The following season he was four times a victor, and fgained a great reputation by beating American Garl at Hartford, in 2:173¢; 2:18%; 2:18%. In 1876 be was lame and did notstart, but last year did well, capturing two of the free for-all-races in the Grand Central Ciremt. This season he has astonished eversbody. includiog his driver, Dam-Mace, by.his wonderful specd and ability to repeat - heats in fast_ time. Indeed,” e stands seccond ouly to Rarus in the estima- tion of horsemen aud thc generai public, and only last week, at St. Louis, trotted three heats tn the wonderful tme of 2:15%, 2 2:1534. He reached this city 1or the first ti two days ago, and is in tiue fettle for the great race of Thursday. Hopeful is owned by A. W. Richmond, Esq.. of New York City. Great Eastern is’ the largest horse- on - the turf, standing 17.2% hands lieb. Heis ason of Walkill Clief, who sired the famous _ trotter Dick Swiveller, whose record of 2:19 is thought Dy his admirers to be no indication of his ability. Tne dam of Great Eastern was by a son of imp. Consternation. IHe is owned by Mr. Georze Iawmmill, of Rome, X. Y., and has been driven for the past two seasons by that well-known bandier of the ribbons, Charley Green. Great Eastern was foaled in 1860, and began his trotting carcer in 1575, when be obtaived a record of 2:273.+ This put bim in the 2:26 class throush.the Septilatéral Circuit in 1516, and in his first race at Utica, he upset 2 job that bad been put up for Tisie Good to win, taking the race in straight heats, the time of the first being 2:19. This made s phhnomenon of him, but failed to Featize the expectations of those who regarded Dbim asthe coming trotter. Last year, after passing into Green’s bands he was tried under saddle, and performed so well that a match was made between him and Rarus, the_latter to_go jn baroess while Great Eastern had only to carry a catch-wel wht rider. This race was trottel over Flectwood Parl track, e secured his present sadale-record of 2:153, which is far below that of any horse, Jiving or dead. In tue coming race he. will amain travel under the pig-skin, with Charley Gréen astride of him, and, from the way hc bas Dbeen acting at the new track, whicn he reached a week ago, it is certain that nooe of his speed lias deserted him. aod in it Oct. 5,—The closing day of .~ FRANCISCO, 24 trot between Fallerton, Oc- the San Jose races, Y X cident, und Nutwood, Was wo; by tgl&cr&og in three straight beats. 3£, 2:20%, 219, JEROME PAUR.

YESTERDAY'S CHICAGO-MILWAUKEE GAME. The concluding game of the series between the Chicago and Milwaukee Club3 was played yesterday afternoon, and it was a duplication of the three preceding ones, the home club batting heuvily and ficlding fairly. The Milwaukeces started out with the nine placed as in Fri- ‘'dny’s game, but Creamer was disabled in the fith ioning, and Weaver took his place. He was sent to centre fleld, and subsequently to first base, and a general change was made in the positions of the men. Thismay account for the loose play of the stransers. ‘The Milwaukees were sent to bat, but failed to score. Dalrymple made a base bit, stole sce- ond, and then Redmond repeated Dalrymple’s hit. The latter attempted to run in, but was caught by a throw from Remsen to the plate. Goodman was given his base on balls, but the next two strikers went out, leaving two menon bases. In the next four innings they made but one basc-hit, and it was one, two, three, and out for them in almost every inning éxcept the the li}!t. In the ninth, Beunett drove the ball for two bases, Holbert made a single, and Mor- gan snother, thus carning Bennett’s run. A couple of crrors allowed three more of the Mil- waukees to score. The Chicazos played a good game generally, and much better . than half their pezoant contests. Little Mae did some fine fieldine and heavy batting, and was ap- plauded for his good worls. Start plaved with- out an error, and Reis, who pitched instead of Lark, pitched well and batted betier than usual. The umpiring of Powers was excellent, and wave satisfaction to everybody.

The prizes were;) pennants. -1n the 1 55 the Cora and Gr Lound were the vnly entries, while L] the Peri, ltarus, Lincoln,” Mischiefy Zeplsr, and No Naine were the cositestants. t was annuanced to také place at 1 s more than an bour after that nal «un was fired. The boais with head: sails down, bat soread 2o tie dree which ume wien tie st L anchor <and ul i Juwed by tue Linculn at 2. -withs cut for’ three, :00, the Greyhound at 2.07:16, the Peri at 2, the Zephyr at 2.00:31, the Flectwing at 2:40. As taey all c-poat. the sizht wasa pretty onc, every.boat having all the sail set that itwas possible to carry. Of course, the chiet interest ceutered in the race between the Cora and the Greybound, and they never 1ooked better than on vesterday. Each hoisted the “ringtails” which had been provided for the occasion, and in addition each carried s mainsail,” jib, Jib-topssil, and gaff.topsail. Beiora the wind, the Greyhound scemed to be u little the best sailer, aud, althoush starting sumething over a minute behind the Cora, soon overhauled the Commodore’s boat, and was first around the stake-boat. As soon as the turn was made, Capt. John Prindiville, who was in command of the craft, took in the 4 wingtail ” and other sail whick could be of no possible use while the vessel was on this tack, but Capt. Buscy, of the Cora, neglected to fol- low his example, and i-was soon apparent thut Commodore Munger’s boat was not acting right. With the first puif that struck her she heeled over badiy and seemed to lose way, and it was then that the disastrous effect of reliev- ing her of 8,000 pounds of _ballast was__ manifest. In spite of the iind’s warning, however, * Capt. Buscy decided to carry the sail he started witi, and soon anothier puff_came alonz which awain keeled over bis craft in a highly exciting man- ner. When she righted, the “ringtail” was dragging in the Cora’s wake, seriously impeding. her progress, while the Greyhound was goivg 2long smoothly encuzh, and leavin. her com- petitor far in” the rear. The “rinatail” was finally cut away and lett to be picked up by a tug. Hardly bad this difficulty been disposed of when the wind freshened aoain, and the Cora 1aid over to it like a loz, having scarcely any way on her. In spite of everthing that sea- manship could suceest, she continued to careen, and, while eversbody was watching her with anxfods eyes, went clear_over, her sails Iyinz flat in the water. Fortunately she did not_fill, and stiil more fortunately o lives were lost, everybody on board climbing to windward with creat precision and rapidity. The tug Consti- tution, Caot. H. Blue, was promptly on haod, and in a few moments succeeded In righting the yacht. In the meantime the Grevhound was speeding away to the northeast stake-boat, the race beingd hers without question. She contlo- ued b her course without accident, and crossed the starting line at 4.22: 43, having made the Gistance (about cighteen miles) in ‘remsrkably good time. The Cora was towed to the mouth of the river, where she lay-to for a few mo- ments, and then sct sail for her anchorage zround. The other yachts completed their course in due season, reaching home as follows: Teri, 1.20:14; Zephyr, 4.33:30; Rarus, 4.41:38; "Lin- Coln, 5,0:15; Misehief, 5.17. The Fleetwing and No Name were not timed. s At the close of the race, the members of the Greyhound Club, in order to testily their ap- preciation of the enerey and ability displayed by Capt. Blue, of thé tug Constitation, in righting the.Cora afwer the accident to that yacht, raised a purse of §103, which was present- ©d tothe Capiain with a few appropriate re- marks by President: N. K.

MosTrEAL, Oct. 5. —This morming the peril- oué feat of ranning Lachine Rapids in asmall hoat was accomplished by Col. Frank Bond and G. L.

All arrange-- - ments being completed, after bidding adigu to the large assemblage of Indians and sanaws a: Catignnawags, the party started oo the jour- ney. Big John, standing in the sterm, by Tpowerfil strokes ruided the frail bark directly for~ the first rapid. As the bout rose and descended on the crests of the waves a large amount of water was shioped, which was bailed out by the Colonel and artist. The most exciting feature was oc- .casioned by one of the Indians missing Lis stroke and causing the oar to jump vut uf its place, resulting in the boat swinging around rapidly and looking exceedingly dacizer- ous for the party. By a tremendous etfort of Biz John, the cruft was dzain brought into proper position, aud passed throueh the rapids safely, the distance beine made in exactiveleven imintites. Their course was directly through the maiu chaopel, and was that taken by steamers. An idea of their narrow escape may be wathered from the fact that the bow o the boat was solit by the terrible foree of the waves. CASUALTI CREW DISARLED. .
