The men who built the track coutd . pot have made it & success for five minutes by thelr own efforts; but, by baoding over the orzenization to gentlemen of undonbted position, they were the reciplents of 2 bandsome interest on tne money iuvested. The scheme now under way, a5 understood by those who should be posted, is to clevate a touple of men, whose chief aim in lite is to manufscture lager beer and scil it, to the prin- zipal official positions in the Club, they taking 18 places of the gentlemon who retire with tue ot month. What the Club will degenerste tounder such management can readily be im- seined. THE TRISUNE does not epeak in any terest save that of respectability. It1s not of the slightest consequence to this paper who foes out or who comes in. But it does not pro- fxe that therc shall be any de- b or lesitancy in *sbowing up mat- w5 precisels_as they are.

GREEE V3. GREEK. . Mr.B. G. Bruce “is the editor and proprietor o the Kentucky Live-Stock fiecord, n paver which, Tig TRIBUNE i bound to say, is onc of he best of its kind in the country. Asagatherer o uews, its editor has few superiors; Lut as ajurist—if o recent specimey of lis work in that direction be taken as an index,—his abili- “tiss gre mot at all in accordance with his am- hition. Not long ago there was a trotting meeting at Lexington, Ky., and during this meeting the Syear-old mare Aldine distanced one of the %o horses that started against her in & race for 5-vear-oids, Thercupon ber owners put in 1 clalm for third movey, o addition to first, sing their action on_Bec. 2, Kule 38, of the . Aational Assoctation code, which provides that: “When one or more norses remain in_the race entitled to be placedat the fiuishot thelast heat, the second-best horse shall receive.the second premium, ifthere beany ; and if there be any third arfourth premium. ete., for which no horse has won or maintsined a specific place, the same stall go to the winoer; provided, the number of wemiums awarded sball not exceed the number of horees which started in ghe race.” Another clause of the Same rule, however, states that © the foregoing provisions shail ai- ¥ays apply in such cases, unless otb sated in the published conditions of the filce.” The point at issue in the Lexington caseisa ery simple one. Aldine, Romance, and Allie Eadt started in the 5-year-old race. Inthe pub- hshed conditions of all the races at the meet- Io, inclading of course’ the one for 5-year- olds, it was vided that ‘A horse fl.lsu’:’ndna the field will receive but one prewi- wn.” As the matter turoed out Aldine won the 5-vear-old race from Romance and Allic East, the latter being distanced in_oue of the Eeats, thus leaving onl_i Aldine and Romance in the race at its finish. Then the claim for third ‘money was made, and refused by the Lexington Ascocintion. Just why the retusal was made does not clearly appear, but the Live-Stock Ree- ord has taken up the matter on behalf of the Assodiation, and fairly froths at the mouth in endeavor 1o prove that the claim of Aldine’s omers s npot well-founded. It does gfi‘;’ spparently to jts own satisfac- y by asserting that such claim ? “aeuinst all the maxims of common lfilu and law,” and that “such an interpreta- u“n of Lbe"condmom makes a part greater than whole” Just how this geometrical impos- ‘m\ty is accomplisned the irate editor docs not 10 explaio to bis wondering constituency, mbn;‘m‘eeds to drag from bis peaceful grave B Roug, the great English authority on b 2 matters, and fetches the skeleton across '"nmn to Eentucky to decide points relating muumunz race, something which the dead Bt :l::n pever saw durinz his_lifetime. and foies fich it is entirely improbable that be has Ra x“flnnlnted since his decease.

Des Moixgs, Ia., Nov..8.—The recent ex- n,loits of Maud S., the trotting wmare sold to Vanderbilt, has caused an investization of ber, pedigree. She is a granddaushter of Pilot, Jr., —a horse uow supposed to he the horse ance owned lg Paee County, in t:is State, and known as the Nix horse of Woodburn, one of the best in the country. If this prove true, that county would be a zood fleld for horse-fanciers, as he left 6cores of aunts and uncles of Maud 5., a0d it would not be surprising if some of them were worth pickine up. TRACK TALK. pnlr)L:; gl{'rxllc, ol‘figgs city, bas purchased of a Xiles, Mich., the pacing horse Dexter, Bad will arive him on the foad. * H. V. Bemis, of this city, has purchased the bay geldine Frank, record 2:20. Helsm. g, and intended as a mate for Gray Eagle. During the present season 130 horses bave dropped into the 2:30 hist, and forty-eight have, for the first time, trotted in 2:25 or better. Mr. Vanderbilt drove Lysander Boy and Doc Lewisa half mile in 1:18%, over Fleetwood 53&'," the first time they were ever hitched to- er. . Another speedy side-wheeler has been discov- ered in Lincoln, owned at Brownstown, Ind. He :g(fil;é!y did a mile over a half-mile track in The G-year-old gelding Mambrino Oliver, by Mambrino Pat:hen, who was never trained until this year, was recently miven a trial over the Lexington track in 2:27%. The death of Harry Bassett was caused by rupture of the intestines. The horse’s suffer- ings were so great that, during his last hours, it ‘was impossible to approach him. Fellowcraft, who made himself famous by running four miles in 7:191¢, has gone to Ken- t{lck\', and will spend the remainder of his days at the farm of Maj. B. G. Thomas. Graves & Loomis, of this citv, have sold to Wm. France, ot St. Louis, the bay mare Josie, by Nighthawk, record 2:80%. She will pe used on the road with Tuckahoe. recdrd 2:313. Mr. Vanderbilt had his new purchase, Mand S., on the road {L'slnrdny for the first time, she being bitched with Capt. Jack, They drove well together, it being Maud’s first experience in double harness. Basil, who at 8 years was considered one of the best racchorses in the country, has hope- lessly broken down. Bombast, his former sta- bic companion, is now used as a saddle horse by a New York gentleman. € Robert Bonner has bourht EdwinTForrest, the horse for which Chariie Green j:nid $16,000 Tast September. © The consideration has not been made public, but it is presumed to have been in the neighborhood of $20,600. The $150 whip to be presented at the close of the recent Baltimore meeting to the jockey waking the best showing for the season, fell to Barrett. It was_orescoted on . the last day of the meeting by Capt. Connor, who comoliment- ed Barrett very highlv on his excellent riding and gentlemanly bebavior. The Sportsman very sensibly declines to join in the general burrab over’ the departure of Duke of Marenta for. Europe, and the wild pre- dictions that have been made concerning his probable victories in Europe. It thinks that, with the effects of a sea-voyare, chanee of cli- mate, etc., the chances are ereatly azainst his defeating, at_even weights, the best horses of France and England. Horse talk, such as that indulged in by the sporting barouet in * The Jealous Wile," is now fashionable in Eunglish society. - Aw! intro- duce me to that little filly stauding beside 1be old cob {o black. Sbe paces well.”—Exchiange. When this style of couversation reaches Amer- ica it will undoubtedly become immensely popu- tar. Imagine one youog man requesting an- other to introduce” bim to *‘the skip-goited brunette with the crimped foretop ¥; * the youns lady with such an elegant koce action;” or, * the old campaigner in the cutaway coat, who is a little over in tne koecs, and who looks as if 3 sesson at grass wouldn’t do him any barm.! During a recent visit to his stables at Jerome Park, Mr. Plerre Lorillard asked for Barrett, one of his jockeys. The answer was that Barrett had grown too heavy to ride, his weizht being 115 pounds. - This surprised not only Mr. Lorillard, but all who heard it, as_Barrett only weizhed mincty-seven pounds in Baltimore. It was further ascerinined that Barrett was starv- fog bimself all the season to keep down to the required weight, and that such was the custom of all jockeys. When they quit riding they be- come beavy very rapidly. Barrett is the richest Jockey in America, being worth at least §20, and there is but one othier richer jockey in the world,—Archer, of England.

In the fourth, Sam broke befere reaching the first quarter, and John S. was a clean_ dis- tance ahead before he could be stopped. Then he was stopoed almost to a walk, until Sam came up and won.

THE CHICAGO AMATEURS, Now that the bail-playing seasqn is over, the friends of the amateur clubs of this city will be interested in knowine just what they have done during the past eix months. The Amateur * Association &s organized at the commencement of the season contained 18 memibers the Frank- ling, Dreadnaugbts, Uniques, Oakiand, Lake View, Crook, Clipper, Liberty, Mutual, Fire- men’s, and University Clubs. Of these the Franklins, Dreadnaughts, Oaklands, and Uniques have maintained an or- ganization, the balance going to pieces by the mdddle of September. The Fronk- lins played altogether twenty-four games, of which they won twenty. Twenty of thesegames were for the aty championshi, they winning eighteen of them. This Club bas held the championehip sfuce 1873, and again won the flag tuls season. Next season two more clubs will join the Associntion; one to be called the So- cidls, and the other the Insurance nine.

Last Sunday there appearced in this paper a paragraph to the effect that, fu all provability, the Milwaukee Club would not be admitted to membership in the Lesguc next season. It was a very ordinary kind of na ftem, indeed, con- taloing nothing that should have (surorised or startled suybody who had a reasonaole ac- quaintance with professional base-ball or its workings, and there is no evidence that iz has. But there is oue young man in Milwaukze on whom it bas had a startiing effect. e s con- pected with a paper publisied in that suburb, and, as soon 88 TnE TRIBUNE reached the town, - bhastened to construct a ‘paragraph in which this paper s labeled as « the organ of the Chicago ‘bum’ nine,” and is likewise denounced as au untruthful sheet, not to be believed under any circumstances. As he emerges from the vealy perlod of extreme youth, the young mao at Milwaukee will find that it is very casy to call people liars, but somewhat diflicult to make anybody belleve it, when the assertion is unsupported by proof. The statement. fu these columns regardiog the non-admission to the Leaguc of the Milwaukee Club next year was made as a matter of news, and not with anydesire to injure the Milwaukee Club or the amiable gentleman who *puts up™ forit. The facts In the matter are well known. The Milwaukee Club has been a fall-down-aud- stand-up-aenin concern from the moment of fts ormanization, and it has lonz been the opinfon of those interested in the suc- cess of base-ball that the soouner it crawled into the coffin which awaits it, and became o respectable-looking corpse, the better it would be for all parties. There are various and sundry good reasons why a ball club can never be successtul in Milwaukee, and they scem to pe pertectiy apparent to everybody but the misguided beings who have been and will con- tinue to spend their moncy in s hopeless effort. to prove the contrars. A prescutution ot these reasons {3 mot necessary at this time. What Tue Tripoxe said last Sunday was the solewmn truth, uprelleved by even a suspicion of fancy, and it propuses to Etick by the same. The assertion that ~there was not one chance in ten of the Milwaukee Club belug o member of the Leozue next year was made after due consideration of the sub- ject. Since then- matters have changed a little, 50 that the chance is now about one fn_ filteen. The League members that are responsible are glek of playing in o town that cannot lurn out an audience suflicient to fill a horse-car, aud with a club that does not pav its plavers. The Milwaukee papers are loud in asseriing that every man in this year’s niue was paid in full, but the facts do not bear them out: Tlere are complaints now in the hands of Becretary Young, of the League, {rom Milwaukee players whom the Club still owes for services. Tuis is susceptible of proof. If the luilwaukee papers are in apny doubt reg rding the matter they can write to Mr. Young, and find out for themselves. In the meantime they might be arrauging for 2 suitable supply of sackeloth and ashes, for, as remarked last Sunday, there is not one chance iu ten tiat the Miliwadkee Club will be a mewmber of the League next year. .

The official fizures show that the Uticas played during the senson 108 games, of which they won 62 aud lost 41; three were drawn. In_batting Richardson led the teamn as follows: Number of games played, 102; runs made, 78; average run3 per game, .7i4; times ab bat, 409; first- base hits, .151; total base hits, 192; average first- base hitsto times at bat, 322; average total base-bits to times at bat, 410. - In ficlding he ranked fourth as baseman, fifth as centrefielder, and twellth as catcher. A gentleman from Syracuse was fn Chicago a few days aco, and, during @ conversation re- garding base-ball matters, said that the feeling fn that city against the International Associa- tion was Very bitter. The Stars had carried the coucern along ull the season, and, after winning the champlonship fairly, were likely to be beaten ont of it by sharp practice. Now, if some Buf- fato man will only come alone and tell the other side of the story, all the facts will have been presented, and the public can judge for itself. The suit of Ross Barnes azanst the Chicago Club, for ealary claimed to b - due bhim on his contract for the s:as.n of 1 was arzued yes- terday before Juuge Loomis in the Cotnty Couri. Tne Judge reserved his decision uatil next Saturday. It will be rememoered that Barnes was enraged by the Club for 1877, at o salary of §2,500, but i May, when the season had ~ scarcely ' begun, was compelled by iliness quij ball-playing for _ thres montlis, When® he returned, he claimed §1,000 salary due for the time he was absent. whict clalm the Direetors refused to allow. 1le then brought suit for the amouant, and the evi- dence fn the case was submitted to Judge Loomis yesterday, as stated above. The case is auew onciu the experience of ball dlubs, and the ougecome will be Hooked forward to with in- terest by professiouals generaliy. There was fun on the Boston grounds yester- day afternoon. - The phenomenal piteher, ** Dr.”? Pope, ot a niue tozether, comprising several of the Beacons, Suyder and Shafer of the Bostons, and one or two amateur piayers, and undertook to gev away with tbe champious with Harry Wrizht as pitcher. PoorDoctor! The red-leza sbowed him no merey. The crowd, numbering about 100, pitied him, but his courage and hi3 gall never fatled bim. Ue was batted for ‘nine rups and eight base bits in the first two in- vings, and theu be grew mad. He got o ario on the Bostons, and an idea strnck him. He turned bLis back to the matter, a la Ward, and, s e faced about to pitch the ball, the demoniac 'expression that flashed from behind those specta- cles rather @isconcerted the chumpions, and they couldn’t score, and rot” but two base hits for three innings. They gradually . recovered themselves, however, and they rapidly sent the *Doctor’s " repatation as s phenomenal pitcher away below par. He set n good ex- unple fn the sixti_foning by leading off with a base hit, and was followed "by Henry, Snyder, 2nd Thager, and all four scored, the * Doctor ¥ crossing tte home-plate smid the wildest en- thusiasm of his mauy fricnds. ~ We have ouly space to mention further the fine ficlding of Gay, an amateur.—Boston Lerald.

The complicated Protection Life case was con- tinued in the Criminal Court yesterday. It is evi- dently destined to occupy the boards for along thue.‘ll-! the attorneys on both sides are proceed- ing with the utmost caution and deliberation. The progress vesterday was o small that it could scarcely be said that the case had taken a single step in advance. There was much wrangling and quoting from ponderous legal tomes and looking wise over respcotable eye-glasses at the befuddled jury, and that was abont all. The prisoners, or rather the accused, as they are all on bail, sat together in the group of attorneys, and tendered Ex-Secretary Edwards resent steadily dunng the he ' {8 mot included 1 the ' present case, having taken = change of venue; but he manfests a creater interest in the proceedines than his former associ- ates,—at least he is more active in note-taking and.in whispered consultations with the lawyers. Of the latter, Leonard Swett scems 1o be the lead- er. Ileisforemost in mising objections and in discusaing knotty tegal points. Charley Reed is always at his elbow. and, whenever the formidable Leonnrd paoses in his fnterjectione, has always a word to ey In addition. J. L. Migh takes & back scat, but once in a while steps to the front, and when he does say anything he gencrally has some- thing toeay. W. J. Hvies hos thus far never opened his mouth, bat has so far occupied himscll in sitting at the Inwvers' table and being industri- ously engaged in taking notes of the testimony. Tie scts as if he considered himself the heavy gun which is to be held in reserve unti! the light artil- lery has exhausted its ammunition. AT THE OPENING OF COURT the first witness placed on the stand was Mr. Cooke, Receiver of the Protection Company. He had been cailed in to ideutify certain account- books of the Company. These were displayed in u gigantic pilc upon a table, und numbered about a aozen, scveral of them being the largest-sized ledgers that are in common use in banking and .insurance concerns. Mr. Cooke was unable to wwear that he had scen the books in actual use by the ofticers or employes of the Company. although he had found them in the vaults when he took possesaion of the oflice. W. J. Terpenny, now clerk to the Receiver, and previously bookkeeper of the Protection Com- I!:m_v. was called to the stand. Ile was “asked to dentify the books. As they were passed up to him, he opencd the pages and stated the name of the books and the uses to which they had been put. Objections were raised to nearly every book by the attorneys for the defense. Several of the abjec- tlons were overruled. Messrs. Reed and Swett strenuonsly objected to the introduction of one® volume in particular, containing the list of deutn losses, 08 the wiiness had not seen it until after the report of Maj. Woods had been made. and he coutd not, therofore, tell whether it was really the book from which the figures of the report hud been taken or not. 2 Assistant State's-Attorney Weber stated that it wak necessary to have this book in evideace, be- cause it would be proved that Woods, in his report of January, 1577, had used fizures and iteme that were enterea aa late as Apnil, May, and June of that year. The Court sustained the objection, and also ruled out another.—the statistical analysis of death- Josses, —as it had been the private book!of Fithian, former bookkeeper, who had compiled ‘it for bis own use. ‘Phe cash-book, and a book called the dead-book, were admitted a8 _evidence. Tne witnesa stated that the regular official record of death-losees was scattered through Ledeers Nos. 2, 8. and 4, and; the desd-book, the Istter being kept by Mr. Hilhard under the direction of Maj.
