THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1878—SIXTEEN PAGES 7 —— SPORTING. THE TURF: TIE BONESETTER PROTEST. The dispute regardinz the award of first in the -frec-for-all race at the recent ovey :l‘e(‘fi"',! in this city is as far from scttlement as bver, and will probably cventually bring up where it belonzs—before the Board of Appeals. With the circumstances of the case the readers of this paver sre familiar. The race aud first money were awarded to Protéine by the judgcs, pat the owner of DBoncsetter, who was given second moune; entered a protest against this deasion, claiming ‘hat bis borse hiad won the race fairly, and was ghereby entitled to first money. An attempt gt compromise Was made by the owners of the 1o horses, but the recent purchaser of Bone- fetter would mot back out of . nis claim, and, conscquentls, the maticr stands precisely as it did on the evening of the race, when the Bone- setter protest W2s cntered. How it will culmj- yate of course canuot be foretold. The protest entered by Van Ness, driver of Bonesetter, is as Sollows: Cacaco, Oct. 13, 1878, —To the Clicano Jockey e votting Ciub 2 wish to gerve this formal no- P vour Ciub, that I' respeetfully appeal from e ocision of the judges in the fiftl heat of the, Toe-far-sll trotting race finished to-day, for the’ WIng FeASOns: ¥ ”;?rxt—n,u trotted Bopesetter every inch of ile. e Tuat T reached the wire first, asis uni- yoreslly known by every one witnessing the race.

Inthe Spirit of the Teanes, which will reach {uis city to-morrow, appears the following edi- 1orial upon the recent meeting in this city, from which it will be seen that Chicago enterprisc und fair-dealing is well thought of in the Bast: The orilliant success of the inausaral trotting meeting on (hie new track at Chicago #, vrobablv, Ine wost important turf event of Uie season, Had it inarked the inauzuration of the noble sport, ony praud scaic, 1 the metropolis of the Northwest, it {outd bave been 3 theme for comment, and much more is 3t 80 when it clearly indicates thie resurrec- 1ion of the eame. 1t was a puzzle to all wiry racing 1ind been sliowed Lo fail into sach disrepute in Chicago, She was the centre of a region unsur- passed for its horee-breeding interests, within her own Timits there were hundreds of peedy 1rotters and some runuers, her population crowded half a quillion souls, aud her citizeus 1ok an exceptional intereet in the sports of < the turf, £he was the lart city in the Union to be_euspected of a lack of en- and yet ever since that tragic afternoon m 1566, when the coward's hund wrought the death of the dnver of Gen.

AMERICAN HORSES FOR EUROPE. Many years ago, Mr. Richard Ten Broeck, then one of the most promivent of American tarfmen, startled the racing fraternity of this wuntry and Europe by sending to England a few American-bred running-liorses. They were of choice quality, aud, although competing in the great events on the other side of the water with the flower of all the English; French, Aus- trian, a0d Huurarian stables, acquitted them- selves very creditably indeed, mapaging to win 20t 3 few of the many races in which they were eweaged. Of course it was not the hope of pecuniary gain that induced Mr. Ten Broeck to cross the ovean with 2 few animals with which to face the pick of half a dozen countries, but a epirit of national pride, to pratify which e was wilhue to suffer certain loss in a financial sense. ‘The pluck and mauly spirit of the first Ame «can turfman who went 3,000 miles from home toflelit for laurels was admnired and avplauded in every land where horse-racing was kuown, but it was many a year after his return home ‘before anctaer was found to repeat the experi- wment be bad made. But the time and mao Zameat last, and in the fall of 1876 Mr. M. H. Sanford, 2 well-known Kentuch turfraan tud breeder, shipped & drant ot soimals from Lis farm _.to En- gland, the lot being compased of yearlings and 3-year olds, with the exception of ld Prenkness, oue of the best horses ever on the turf in tins country, and whose dead Leat in 1575 with Springbok tor the Saratoga Cuy, the distance, two miles and a_quarter, beingrunin_3:565¢, will ever make his name famous, Wita Mir. Sanford’s successes and failures, the readers of this paper are familiar. Brown Prince, who was considered the most promising of the first lot sent over, did remark- RUly well for a time, running second in the Two Thousand Guineas to the Frepch norse Cha- 1nont, at that time first favorite for the Epsom Derdy, with Brown Prince third. Both were de- {eated, however, being nowhere in_the race. In £pite of disease, wnichi attacked his horses, and other mishaps, Mr. Sanford has doné well, sev- eral foud races baving 1allen 1o his stable. \T‘nz latest American to venture across the & ! n;mc with a string of racers 1S Mr. Pierre yorward, who last weck shipped from New dor blam\e‘ Uncas, and several sons and I_Lu‘t:_g ters of Leammngron and Saxon, At first bu:ail)"' Lonllard’s intention to send Spartan, o hat lorse wilt remain in this couutry.

They & trot herin a tew races nest fall in her d-year-old form. The trotting of four-year-olds in races with aed horses is becoming quite common.

A dispateh was received in this city Friday, dated at Newnrky Ak, rstating. that HNosey . Brown bad been shot and fataily wounded " at that place ou the vrevious evening. A telegram to the Secretary of the N Assuciation re- vealed the fact that the first dispatch wasa hoax. *Nosey ™ isstill alive and kicking. Jackscrew, winuer of a selling race at the re- cent Jerome Park meeting, was hid in after his victorv by a Fordnam gentleman for $600. He soon repented of his barzain, andoffered a larwe bonus to anybody who would take the animal off his hands. Suckers were scarce, however, and in future the gentleman will probably be a nittle more cautious in bicding op therough- breds. ¢ ¢ A well-knownJresident of Cincinnati, who came all the way to Chicago Lo witness the con- tess between Rarus, Hopeful, and Great East- ern, is given a free notice by the Euguirer,which says: --Some people think it rather stranze that a man should go all the way to Chicazo to attend the races there, thoush hie could not find titne to - honor Chester Park with his presence during the late meeting.” Dan Mace is thinking strongly of moing to Califorsia, and il the trip is made Darby will sccompany him. Mr. A.. W. Richmound, the owner of Hopeful, will not let the little gray make the trip, as he jntends driving him on the roud next winter. In case Mace goes, Morriil Rirbie will probably send along Little Fred, he thinking that a winter on the Pacic Slope would do the little borse no harm. The Dbest-thouzlit-of 2-year-old in France {this scason is Switt.x filly of Euglish extraction, beios by Kingerait, winver of the Epsom Derby in 1570. At Longchamps recently she won the Grand Criteriou from fourteen others in a peculiar fashion. At one Ume she was shut out, but after getting through the field of horses cut down the leaders when within a few vards of home. S$he is the property of Count De Meeus, a Belgian nobleman. Horsemnen in this section were considerably surprised at the result of the Nursery Stakes the recent Jerome Park meeting, Pierre Loril- Jard's colt Uncas, who had run so well in his other engagements, being defeated by an np- pamed gelding by King Ernest. From later ad- vices it 1s learned that Uncas behaved very bad- 1y at the post, making repeated efforts to un- seat his jockey, Barrett, and took so mucn out of himself by this kind of work thav when it came to running be could not get better than second place. 2 i Among the many good words that we have heard for the Chicago trottitic meeting none have more signiticauee. than the expressions made by Col. Charles W. Woolley, President of the National Trotting Association, who was in attendance at the races, and whom we have had the pleasure of conversing with this week. Col, Woolley ays that it was, all things considered, the finest meeting he ever witnessed. The races were all exciting, the cooduct of the judees- Htand irreproachable, while the audiences were 55 remarkable for thelr character as tiir size. They comprissd the very elite of the North western country. Col. Woolley estimates the Srowd on Tharsday at 30,000, actually, althouzh it was oue which would ordinarily be estimated at 50,000.—Spirit of the Times. Tn o race at the late Ballard Connty (Ky.) Fair, one of the jockeys, who was to ride at 100 poungs, weighed only seventy, the extra thirty pounds was added "in the shape of two wct Dlankets. After starting, the blankets sitipped to the mare’s Jeft side. and flapped upon ber flank at cvery jump. The saddle also turned, and, in his eflort to rignt it, the Jockey—a juvenile edition of the Fifteenth Amendment— Jost one of his reins. Nothing daunted, the darky clung _to the inare's back like a circus monicey, and, ureing on the frigited animal, Yanded her & winner of tbe racc. When the mare -was stopped the saddle was under her Dbelly and the blankets were dragwingat her heels. The ddrky was delizhted with his sue- cess, but declares be will nebber ride wid dem cussed blaukits no mo%.” A carious and funny incident occurred in conuection with the Ommniu; the ouly'}rcn.cl! handicap of apy cobsequence, aud which was Tunrecentlv.

Although the season has but just closed, the niues of the League clubs for 1579 have been pretty well made up, so that a fair estimate can be made of the strenzth of each organization. The Cincinnati Club, seewns to have the most men on hand at present, cleven being under en- gagement, and from them a strong team can certaiuly be sclected. Barnes' acceprance of the terms offered him was made only u few days ago, and as a matter of fact the contract in his case bas not yet been signed, but Jim White started from Cincinnati with it in his pocket Friday night, and will secure the needed autograph as soon as be reaches nes. The nines as now constituted are given below. In regard to the Stars and Buffalos there is noth- ing definite Lo be sxid, although plenty of paper nines for these clubs have been made up: CIICAGO.

The latest rumor concerning Fercuson is that he wiil play third-bsse for the BufTalos in 1579, 1t is uuderstood that Hotalinx is to receive $1,500 for his services in Cinciunati next season. Rochester has entirely rceovered from the base-ball fever, and there is no talk of a nine for next year. Allen, the new third-baseman of the Stars, will study dentistry in Pailadelphia during the coming winter. } John O'Rourke, of the Manchesters, and a brother of James, has beeu eugaged by tbe Bostons for pext season. Rezularly-salaried Leazue umpires for mext season are suggested by the Cinciovatr En- guirer. Theidex is a zood one. The Syracuse Sunduy Courier has made the astonishing discovery tnat “the Butlalos are the finest fielding nine in the country. The only club of the Leasue to pjay an error- less game this year was the’ Bostons. This event oceurred i the last League gawe at Bos- ton. Dolan is out with an indignant denial of the statement that e d_to sigo for 1879 with the Bulfalos for Heisa bigher-priced article. The Giffords, of Philadelphia, are to be an International club mext year, with Dixon and Myersof the Hornells a5 third basemon and short stoo. The Forest Citys, of Cleveland, played their last game of the season. with a picked nine vesterday. Phillips, whose bome is in Chicago, is back nere agsin. Tlotaling, of the Stars, in the recent game with the Hudsons, made a most remurkable bat- ting record. He succeeded in securing tive base hits, with a total of thirteen. A1l announcements that Clapp is to play with the BulTalos next year are premature. 'Tne Di- rectors of the Club have made John offers, but none of them have been accepted. + “Kennedy, who did some good catching for the Rochesters this scason, will bave a place in the Cleveland nine next year.® Dolaw, cutcher of the Bufalos, goes to Utica in 1579.

Outside papers arc already making wild and unauthorized statements regarding the salaries which the Cneago Club will pay its players uext year. Anson is put down at 32,000, Flint at 1,500, Dolrymiple at $1,400, and Shalfer at About the onlyplayer whom the New Bed- fords seem to have sccured for next season is Sullivan, of the Lowetis. They would like to et Foley, 8am Wrignt, A. Whitney, and Hawes, of the same_ Club, but definite arrangements bave been made with noue of these men, Hawes goes to Boston. 1t is probable that Albany will have two tea: next season. A number of weuticmen in thut city biave secured grouuds in the heart of the city, and have already engzaged the nuclens of a strong pine. -Cummings will probably piteh with Murnan, Leonard, Shafer, Manuing, and other good men to back bit.

From Our 01en Correspondent. Bosto, Oct. 17.—And here is another En- alishman come to see America, and to reap the benefits of thie rather celebrated American lec- ture-audiences. ‘I'iere is no doubt that most, if not all, of these visiting gentlemen, whose ob- ject is to appear upou the lecture-platform, have got an exagrerated 1dea of the money tobe made from lecturing here. The Thackeray and Dickens, specially theDickens, furore made an impression upon the British mind which nothing later has been able: to efface. Perhaps, how- ever, they are not aware that nobody since trom their beloved land has been able to draw in a golden harvest, or perhaps cach new- comer thinks himself of equal importance with “Thackeray or Dickens. The present aspirant for American honors and applause, Mr. Arthur Mursell, certainly comes well recoramended—if I may use that term—by the favorable comment of some of England’s most fumous meu, for John Bright, Newman Hall, and Spurgeon call him the finest platform-speaker in England. Perbaps we might not be particularly impressed with the fact of Spurgeon’s admiration; and even Newman Hall, thouzh a mav whose tastes would cover a far wider ground than the sensa- tional preacher’s, is not of enough cousequence in America to impress us much with his opin- tons. But John Bright, with his own mastery of purc Saxon English, and his fame as a statesman, and a man who has lis- tened to all the Parliamentary eloquence for the last twenly years or more, must strile any American with that adminng respect which would fan a flame of curious in- terest in the mind coucerning whoever aud whatever had trained his commendazion. 1 don’t know how many of the audience who listenea to Mr. Mursell KNEW OF JOHN BRIGHT'S OPINION in regard to him. 1 dare say it was pretty zen- erallv kuown, in a general way, that a famous London orator was to speak, and, though there had been a wzood deal ot disapvointment first and Jast with the oratory of distinguished En- slisbmen, there was'a oed deal of exocctation und anticipation #s Mr. Mursell came forward, “The first toncs of the gentleman’s’ voice. were not unplezsant, but there : the old insular upward g very 500n Which - n0 Amer- an that L have -ever heard of yet can accept & corajally. © : The subject of the lecture was *‘David Livingstone,”—not ‘a subject very bappily chosen to make o strikinge first iwpression, for it is_only the tew compara- tively that are enourliInterested in Livinzstone to désire to listeu Lo a lecture about him. -1 Mr. Mursell had nstead but -taken - Beacons- ¢1d”" for his themne, how on the ‘alert our at~ tention would bave been: But as it was, the af tention was more given to the speaker than his subject_at first... And, indeed, throughout, it was diflieult to forget, the speaker in the - jeet, though there were, cloguent” passazres and juteresting treatment of the various stages of Livingstone’s early and later lite. Difticuit, be- eause Mr. Murseli’s delivery of his words was so rapid that, anless one paid the cloiest attention, 1T WAS INPOSSIELE TO FOLLOW MIN. . : A lapse of & second’s walchiulness, the loss of 2 word herg and there, and the torrent “was so fmpeiuous that one was lost in the whirl. Bat the evident earnestness of the lecturer, and his toree now and then of cmphasis, and a certain Aepth of intensity, carried the hearer who conid hear and understand i splte of this rapdicy, 1f not into the reahn of entiushsm, 2t least mto was one the border lauds of assreclation totn of Mr.” Mursell's owa correctness and the manner in whicn he now and then treated his theme. But, after all, it was a disappointment to.most who lm\l‘exneczcd to find what we in America call a model orator. Those who looked, and hstened, and remempered that Jobn Bright and other ex- perivnced Englishmen had pronounced this man the tinest platform orutor in England began to wonider if the whole matter of judiment didu’t turn upon lifelong havit and association,—n cer- tain eradation of inheriteq taste from menera- tion to generation. For there is the orator— our model orator—whose speech fs futl-toned and measured with the evenness of thought which flows but does not crowd, and Enzlishmen who listen to bim tlnd fuuit and wonder at our eothusissim. Perhaps it Mr. Marsell stays long: enough with us we shall GET USED TO NS CROWDING WORDS, ond learn to follow him with less ellort. At present, however, there is a feeling that, after the first eratification of curiosity to se¢ aud hear the English orator, there are livelier ways of amusing oneself than to repeat the experi- ment. And even entertainment of the instruc- tive sort, which sends a certain class to listen to what they would wot read, is diflicult to guther up When one’s attention must be on the strain. With “Cosette " at the Boston 'Iheatre, and the charming comedy “My Sou™ at the old Muscum, nud the opening of the new Galety Theatre, all the lecturers will bave to look to their laurels and make themselves as interest- ing as possible, both as to mutter and manuer. As it is, the lecture fever, and even its vopu- larity, has gone by. One freat reason for its de- cliné ' s, [ amn confident, the fact that for the past dozen years the theatres have been steadily gaining ground in public opinion. People who, « dozeu or fiftcen years ago, would not have a thouzht that they could bave *con- sistently” gone TO THE PLAY-HOUSES, have gradually grown up to the broaderand bealthier platform tbat the drama can be wit- nessed with no detriment to any church pro- fession, and sometimes with consideruble profic. 1t is funny, on opening nights of some new play in Boston, to sce how the churches will be rep- rescuted, not only by the laymen, but the pastors themselves. The play of **Cosette,” at the Boston, is the latest sensation in the amusement world. Adupted by Charles lugo, Victor Huzo's son, irow * Les Miserables,” thiere is a sense of suf isfaction in the knowledze that the author him- self must have been satistied with the dramat! ing. “And, as the p on WiLh that ad- mirable actor Louis Jumes in the part of Hugo's greatest creation, Jean Fal- Jjean, Mrs. Barry—Boston's favorite—as Fantine, and little . Zoe Tuttle as ssette,—melodramatic as the whole thiog is, as rythings of Huwo'sis toour practical, realisti utimental vision,—the in- s is, and the spell of lugo’s passion, his slacerity, his wreat heurt, his poetic feelivg, berins to be felt as we felt it iow mauy years ao when we all read **Les Miserables,” and got mawnetized then before we kuew it by the author’s power. But while then it took daysand weeks to accomplish this, now, with Louis James to render the glowing words, an Jour suflices to carry us out of our eritical cold- uess, and TO INFUSE US WITH THE OLD PASSION for Hugo's passion. 'The seenery is exquisite; nothing finer has ever been put before a hoslun oublie.

Club bringing au al- vance copy, aud brimful of admiration there- upon. In less than thirty mivutes the fiery gods of discussion were let loose, aud a war of words arose which Wwas significant of the curious counter-estimates which the Lsst, -perhans Bos- ton speclally, entertains for Joaquin Miller’s prodactions. e fs. certainly wot ‘‘damncd with faint praise’ here'any more than e where. But I think the 8. B.’s conclusions show pretty clearly that Mr. Miller certainly has that Lonor which is neverrawarded to the insigniti- cant—of heing a bune of contention. Brunetta opens the ball by readioy A HAIL-STORM IN VENICE,' which 6 & poeru 6f two duuble stauzus, crowded ;.:p with imagery und winding up with thesd two nes: ik ‘Fhen God spake thunder!

They come to nean more than ideas; indecd, they master his ideas completely, and, by the compelling force of word-sugges- tion, sugaest other jdeas, other thoushts, until the original form of his pocm, his plan, is lost or merged into something other than its birth promised. Hence I think comes hall of the confuseducss which so batlles even the admirers of Miller's verse. i have alwass been some- thing of an admirer of Miller.
