i THE "CHICAGO TRIBUNE: !SUNDAY. DECEMBER 15, I878—SIXTEEN PAGES, 13 ——— e e SPORTING. THE TURF. THE BONISETTER CASE. The readers of this paper haye already been informed of the decision given by the Board of Review in the Bonesutter-Proteine case, grow- jne out of the free-for-all race at the recent meetinie in this ¢ity. In the tefegraphic accounts of thie matter sent to this city it was stated that Mr. H. V. Bemis, owner of Bonesciter, was greatly dissatisfied with the action of the Board. The following commuuication 1rom the gentle- man shows that such.was not the case, and that 1e believes the Board could nothavedecided the mstter exeept as it did from the evidence be- foreit: To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmcaco, Dec. 11.—As there hax been consider- sbie£aid in the mewspapers in reference to the Bonese'ter-Proteine case, which was before the National Board of lieview at its meeting neld in New York last week. 1 desire to make a few re- ‘warks in refercnce thereto. £0 83 10 correct the im- Dression piven by au urticle in the New York World. which saye: *¢Nir. Bemis twas prosent at the Fifth Avenue totel to-day, and showea by his actinns that be was not well pleased with the decis- fon of the judgex.” Now, 26 to this matter. T wish to say that T knew ‘before the cace was decided that it would be adverse to me,. and, from the facts®as they were represcnted and . placed before the Board, they decided it~ perfectly rizht. and gin facteoutanot_decide ‘othurwise according to the yules, Now, I wizh it distiuctly understood that, {rom the starements before them, I am eatisfied wits thie Bourd's decition. The sympathies of the catire Board were with me, and_ they all would pave been pleased to iave decided in my favor, us {ae popularside was that of Bonesctter, and they Imew that the Western people, mine ot of fon. were in his favor, and anxious that justice shonld be cone him. - The pentlemen compnising the Board (come of whom [ bave known for a preat many years) paid me the kindest of altention znd considération, and found them to be first-class gentlemen in évery Teepect. s petition is now 1n the hands of the Secretary of the National Association for a rebearing, and T amable 1o say Thet there s scarcely any. doubt whatever that the case will again be tried when the Board meets 1n our city next May, I V.

In the present casc there is mcither an slicsation mor a presumption of fraud affecting toe_ judges, and, this being so. the ‘Board of Rerieiv will not permit thelr judemont to be disturded by unoflicial testimony tending to show that the facts were not as they determined them to be. they veing, as stated above, solearbiters thereof. But, “granting that Bonesetter did not Dbresk a8 allezed, and that this Board may take cormzance of the alieged mistaice in charging him with doing so, etill there are other matters dis- closed by the record tending to show. if not con- clusively proving, that the fifth heat was wisely decideato be a déad heat. Indeed, it appears that the judges were mpressed with the belief that there was &n unfair combination 1o defeat Proteine, and that such 1mpression was justified by the action of several of the drivers. Tlis being the case, Proteine becme entitled 1o all possible and Jawfyl tection, and the offending drivers should have n pumiched. In this view of the casc prescat- ed, toc decision of the judges 15 sustained. SMALL HOPES AND M'GUIGAN. One quite important matter which came be- fore the Board of Review at its recent meeting, and which was not alluded to in the telegraphic reports of the same, was the applicstion fora relnstatement to the privileges of National Association tracks of William McGuigan, who will be remembercd as the driver of the notori- ous horse Small Hopes, whose career ss a “rinver” in the fall of 1675 is still fresh in the minds of all who take any interest in turf mat- ters. It wasa most shameless defiance on the part of McGuigan and the owners of the horse of the rules of the Nstional Association, and, when the guilty partics were discovered, ex- pulsion ot the horse, owner, and driver imme- diately followed. Being thus rendercd useless for track purposes, the horse was sold ata low ce to the lat¢ Commodore Vanderbilt, Gpon his_death, Small Hopes became the property of Willilam fI. Vanderbilt, and it is hinted very strongly that he isanxious to have the animal reinstated, with the nuderstapding toat be will be trotted zext year in bis ¢lass. Thereis no doubt thai e is 3 wonderfully fast and game animal, and, ioan sbstract sense, it is a pity that the public --should be debarred from sceing him in races where his mettle would be tested, but thisisa matter not to be considered by the Board of Review. If Small Hopes is reinstated, it would be manifestly unjust to leave McGuizan stiil under ban, and his appearance at the receut meeting of the Board would hardly bhave been made unless the idea had in some manner been conveyed to him that bis petition would reccive favorable consideration. The document wasa Tutber unique picce of literature, and is ziven in full. It reads as follow: 1am not here, as you will uncerstand. to defend ayself or any actions for which 1 ask relief, but simply 10 ascertain whether, in the opinion of this Board, I have been soficiently pumshed or not fora crime which I committed knowingly and un- cerstandingly as t0 the punishment which must follow according to the Natlonal rules. violated while emarting under 2 wronz done me by one of the Nationa] Association members. Being at that time led to believe that 1 could not get relief, I determined not 10 turn, the otber cheek, according 10 the teachings of thé good book, but to adopt the silver rule, do as I was done by—*‘a wrong." Lelieving then there was no escape from the prison Iflunlrendf in, 1deemed it as well to dic for o shecpas a lamb. Besides, I was living up to an innate principle, which is to fizht my encwies and dfena my fricnds. So now. gentiemen of the Doard, 1 wish you to more fully understand my feelings at present toward you 28 zeutlemen, 3 as wellas towards you as the representatives of tne turf interests of this country. I am here to frankly 2dmit thst, in my opinion, I have been punishea eniciently, and if that ‘15 your opinion; and you will g:ant the reliel asked for, I assure you I shall in the fature do all in my power 1o 1ivé up 10 the £pirit of the National rulee, ana that I will aid in adrancing the turf interests of this country. You =41l thus do what my friends and mysell have not believed possibic £ c past three years. Tem- porrlly or otherwise.-grant me reiief from the ‘Desiehment I brought upon myself by being falsely impreseed of your intention to do right in all cases, ax with thie 1mpression, and this impression slone, I come before you to ask your mercy,— thatls, if it i3 in your opimion best for the tarf Interests: af mot, 1 will return home to remain under the han until you otherwise order. Atter considering this petition the Board en- an order that if McGuiran sha)) lodre ¥ith the President of the Board a petition sup- Dorted by suitable recommendations from man- azers of parks and turfmen in Jocalities where s Iraudulent practices occarred. suchas, in the judgment of the President, merit attention, the sident mav grant a temporary reinstatement notil the May meeling of the Board. It will probaply bean easy matter for Me- ican to secure these recominendations, since, Bermmllr, he fsa very gentlemanly and agreea- leyounz man; and the general jmpressiou Smoug those who know bim is that, while Smartine under a wrong, be committed ucts d r ordinary circumstances be would Tot have been puilty of. His reinstatement to the wriileses of National Association tracks 0uld do 0o bharm, but in the case of Small Opes o different view of the matter may be ker. Let the pevalty be removed from him, 21 a universal ery will at once be raiscd that 4t was Mr. Vanderbilt's social position and influ- €ncethat brought about such a result. As € stated, it bas alrcady been binted that if Ir. McGuican’s casc s favoravly considered it will be but the preliminary step to the rein- Statement of Small Honcs, and if such action taken the owner of every expelled trotter in € country would have o rizht to demand that Lis horse receive similar treatment, and a pre- cedent be estabiished, the disastrous results of th can easily be imagined. To the reinstate- Dient of McGuigan there will be little if any ob- Jection, but to that of Stall Hopes nearly every uriman in the country will say no. e A ONE-SIDED INVESTIGATION. Last Sunday Tuz TRIBUNE fave an abstract 31 the testimony taken by tae Board of Review uring its recent seasion in New York, in what bas come to be known as *¢the Edwin Forrest £25e.” Jhis matier has created more excitement. a0d interest in turf cireles thaz any event of the Season, bu the investigation by the Board of Rerie seems 10 an ontsider to have been a gort glf orgunized cffort to throw all the blame on ornfl Hiobic, the Iilinofs driver who was put Up behind Forrest after the second heat. ~ This :‘!‘Je of doinyr business will not satisfy veople 0 this part of the country. As to whether g.l' not Hirbie was yuilty of pulting b orrest this paper has never expressed an opin- 00, but lesving thut matter out of the question ‘his evident to the merest tyro n_turf macters 3t 0o such job as the one allezed to have been Derpetrated with Edwin Forrest could have been Successfuily carried through unless the judges Fere either {guorant of the rules of the tarf or ‘Exceedinely negligent in enforcing them. From the testimony of one Thompeon, the starting udge, it appéars that Higble was put belind orrest atter Charley Green had been asked to Ve the Liorse and refused. Green, according to Thomnson, refased to drive because he had some friends on the ground whose interests he wistied to look after. This may have been o Zood enough excuse for Green, but no attention should have been paid to it by the judges. They bad all the necessary power, and should have used it. Green, when testifying in rezard to this phase of the matter, said that he did not like to get up behind other men’s horses and drive them out, because it got him the ill-will of other drivers, who worked agairst him in races. Thisis undoultedly true. but in days gone by Charley was not atall particular, aud the areater part of his reputation was gain- ed by driving out other people’s horses. He did ot refuse to get up behind the Chicaco horse Bodine at Hartford in 1875, but it would have been more sgrceable to everybody if ho had, since he only succeeded in “having him_dis- tanced, while witn his original driver—Peter Jolnson—he could not have lost the race. This talk by Mr. Thomeon about Green refusing to serve sounds very strange, coming from a man w00 s a5 well posted on turflaw as he. Was uot the real reason of Green’s being - excused from serving the fact that he and Thomson are intimate friends and joint owners of the mure Lucille Golddust? When the Board azain takes up the Edwin Forrest matter at -its coming meeting in this city, u little investization into %’llfls phase of the subject may not be unprotitu- e. Although- flighie seems to have been the party on whom 1t was sought to throw all the blame, it is noticeable that all the drivers who testified were of the opinion that he tried to win with Forrest. Dan Mace, however, was the only one who advanced anv reasons for his be- lief. Dandrove Darby in the race, aud told all be knew of the combination to beat Forrest. He was only interested in his own horse, so far as betting was concerned, bat had a few pools on Forrest und Trampoline.. When Higbie ot up betind Forrest, Mace banded him pool- tickets on Forrest callmg for $300, eaying: “You can huve them if you win.” Ile also gave Morrill a little advice, tellivg him that Forrest could certainly beat the party if he ot a good send-ol, and promised to give all the assistance he could with Darby. He could do mnothing of this kind, however, as Darby Dbroke and acted badly throughout the race. In answer to questions from members of the Board. Mace deseribed how the boys worlied when they wanted to beat a favorite, “as Forrest was. They all form o combination, and then as soon as the word is riven string their horses across the track, so that, unless the favorite gets away with the lead, be is almost certain to be beaté Chis is. called ** building » bridee,” sud was tried suc- cessfully in the seventh heat of the 2:24 race at Rochester, Forrest being beaten by reason of it, **A man who can get around them fellows when they gro for him in this way,” added Mace, *‘1ust have a corn-crucker.” The result of all the testimony, as the public has already been informed, was a decision by the Board that the matter should be postponed un- til the meeting in this city in May next, and the Secretary was insiructed to gather such evidence as Lie could in the meantime. This order practicatly Jeaves the matter in the hands of Seeretary Vail, aithough to the Hou. C. W. Woolley, President of the National As- sociation, is due the credit of having begun the investigation. That Mr. Vail shall iollow up every clew in this matter until the truth is reached is what the friends aud vatrons of the urf expeet, but he shouid not be deceived by hue and erf what has been raised regarding Higbie. e protests bis innocence of sunv wrongdolng, and his friends believe him. Thus far the entire cffort of the investizators seems to have been iu hie dircction. They have proved nothing, and it begins to look as if e could not be made a scapezoat for the sins of others. Let Mr. Vail look clsewhere for the guilty pdrties, and he may meet with greater success than has thus far attended the efforts of those who bave bud the matter in haud. TEACK TALK. Fred Archer, the celebrated English jockey, has-won 1,074 races during the last six years. Harvey Weleh, the well-known race-horse trainer, has opened & public stable at Jerume Park. Comedy, full sister of Cotnee, record 2:19%, was recently sold by Wesler P. Balch, of Bos- ton, to New York parties. Cairo, by Lexington, who was quite a good race-horse two yecars azo, has been sold to Mr. D. C. Buell, Paradise, Ky., for saddle purposes. -Rarus trotted a mile in 2:143{ at Stockton, Cal., last Tnursday, thereby reducing the 2:1435 of Goldsmith Maig, made at Chico two years ago. Kyrle Daly, the thoroughbred Irish stallion recently fmported by Mr. John Reber, of Lan- custer, 0., has reached his new home in fine form. The fourth on the list of winning racing sires Tast scason was Lever. He had nine represent- atives on the turf, who started in forty-eight races, winning 320,590. The gras mare Vira, formerly owned by Mr. Thomas Evers, of this city, is how the property of J. M. Coombs, Esq., of Fort Wayne, Ind., that pentleman having purchased her while on & recent visit to Chicago, Gen. Harding, of the Belle Meade Farm, Ten- nessee, reccntly purchased in England the horse Great Toin, brother to Kingeraft, winuer of the Derby in 1570. He will reach Tennessce during the present weck. Budd Doble recentiy purchased of Col. West, of Kentucky, the 4-vear-old bay gelding, Don- ald, by Dictutor (fuli brother to Dexter). out of the dam of Rosalind. He will be brought to this city in about a month. 4 Monroe Chiet, record 2:25, owned by A. W. Longley, Esa., of this city, bas been ‘taken up {from winter quarters and is being driven on the road. The crack road team, however, is Budd Doble’s—Callaban’s Maid and Clemantine. The record of the brown gelding Col. Dawes, owned by Higbie Bros.. Canton, IlL, is 2:2434, instead of 2:25, as heretofore. The change was made by the Board of Review, on 2 showing 1hat 2:243 was the time of the beat won by Dawes, aithoush 1t was announced as 2:25. ‘The old scheme of giving records to all win- ners of money in a troctimr race is again beinyg agitated. The latest proposition is to allow two . seconds for each place after second, and one between first and sccond,—that is, if a horse wins 2 hieat fo 2:31, the record of the second horse ;rr;lfil}d be 2:32, the third 2:34, and the fourth The stakes for the inaugural ranning meeting of the Chicago Jockey Clnb have already been given in these columns. Of the added money o Jiberal amount has been subscribed by the Pa- citic Hotel and Sherman Ilouse, but these are the only hotels that bave subscribed. The oth- crs should not be behind in this matter, as it will all add to the general success. Nine years ago the thoroughbred mare Aus- tralis, owned by ex-Gov. Bowie, of Marylund, was killed while being shioped on a Baltimore & Obio train at Camden. Suit was at once brought, and the matter has since” been in liti- gation. _After pumerous decisions and re- versals, the United States Supreme Court re- cently rendered judgment for $12,555, which amouunt the Compauy paid to Gov. Bowie: S. D. Bruce and Mr. H. R. Coney. of San Francisco, have been in Kentueky for several days purchasing stock for Californla. They have houeht eightecn brood-mares and one colt.

The question of who shall form the eighth member of the League has been practieally set- tled by the reccipt from Troy of the news that the club of that city, at a meeting held a few days ago, resolved by a vote of 23 to 6 to apply for admission ancouditionally. It will be re- membered that at the recent meeting of the League this club was an applicant for member- ship, but wished the League rule regarding playing with non-League clubs moditied so that it could engage in games with the Albany uine, To this the League conld not agree, feeling that. to make o concession in favor of any purticular member would be doing injustice to the otbers. The Troy Club thea tclegraphed that it would take the mastter under consideration, and the result was as sbove stated. ‘The formal applicatfon will be made at the spring meeting of the League, aud, unless some unforeseen circumstance should arise, no objection to the club’s admission will be made. Aud in this connection it may be well to state that the Troy Club has nothing whatever in its comnosition or management. of the old Hay- maker Club that was for s0 many seasons a dis- reputable element and exponent of the national game. Its officers and stockholders arg from among the best citizens of Troy, aud there is little doubt that in .point of respect- ability the new member of the Lessue will be a fit and worthy associate of the other orranizations wiich constitute that body. ‘The uine is a strons oue, the pitcher be- ing Bradley, who did such effective work for the White Stockings in 1676, and he isto be well supported in every position. i With rezard to other matters concerning the League, it may be said that, notwithstanding afl the “talk indulged in by papers which profess to be “orwrans,” the number of games to be played next scason has not been decided upon. This matter Is in the bands of Messrs. Hulbert aud Neff, of the Chicago and Cincionati Clubs, and the schedule will be arranged by thewm alone. As the matter now stands, it is possible that elghty-four championship games between League clubs may take place. The Eastern clubs will come West carly in the scasou, snd all depends upon whether a suflicient proportion of the games can be d here before the 30th of May, 85 1t is cousidered uecessary for all hands to reach the East Ly Decoration Dav, as that occasion is chiefly devoted to base-ball in that section, and the club managers paturally wish to take ad- vantage of the sectional idiosyncrasy which im- pels people to attend a ball match when they ought to be strewinz the graves of fallen hieroes with floral tributes. ‘The changes maile in the rules at the Cleve- land meeting do ot seem to have occasioncd comment, cxcept perhaps the one that provides that all balls must be caught ou the fly in order to putouta plaver. 1t was thought by sume of the delegates to the Learue Con- vention that this would not prove an agrecable change to the public, a3 audiences were often treated to fine displavs of skill fn the judging and catchinr of foul bounds. The Bos- tons _ experimented on the mew ruie toward the close of last season, however, and were 50 impressed with its_advantaces that the arguments of _the Club’s delezates to the Con- vention curried the point. When “Proprictor ” Rogers, of the Milwaukee Club, was last heard from, that enthusiastic in- dividual was fired with 2 boundiuz smbition to pay all the club debts sod reorganize his me- nagerie in the hope of again beiug admitted to the League. There need be no fear, however, that he will do_this, and the players contracted witn by him for mext season will probably seek employment clsewhere, since the action of the League sbsolves them from any liability in the matter. TIE BARNES CASE AGAIN. In the case ot Roscoe C. Barnes vs. the Chi- cago Ball Club, Judge Loomis, of the County Court, a few weeks ugo decided that, under the contract between the purtics, Barnes was not entitled to demand payment of his salary dur- ing the period of his illness and inability to play ball. " This illness continued for three and a half months in the middle of tie ball season of 187 The question was presented by de- murrer to & count in Barnes’ declaration, in which the contract was relied upon. Last Friday the casc came up for final hearing on all the facts, and it was attembted on the part ot that a custom existed Barnes to prove among managers of ball clubs to pay their players whether sick _or well. Some evidence ~was oflered tendiug ta show that iu individual cases where players were injured on the field, in play, their wagés were paid during the period of tneir inability to perform service conscquent upon such injury. The Court beld, however, that the evidence failed to prove that the alleged cus- tom was so gencral snd uniform as to change the legal rights of the partics under their ex- pressed contract, and so entered judgment for thedefendant. Baroes prayed an appeal to the Appellate Court, which was granted upon con- dition of his filing an appeal bond in tweaty days. INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN.

The Bostons won eighteen uf their games last season by & single run. Bond, of the Bostons, has entered the College of the Holy Cross for the winter. Flint, of next year’s Chicagos, left last uig it for St. Louis, where he will spend the holidays. ‘The League vext year will cousist of the Troy, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Cin- cinnati, aud Star Clubs.

There is a Club at ncinnati, recently organ- ized with a capital of $3,000, that proposes to play games on Sungay. In Chicago that sort of business is stopped by the police.

The League bas decided that in all games played between its members next season the visiting club shall have fifteen ceuts for each person adinitted to the erounds, the price of ad- mission beinz optional with the home club. The rate, bowever, will be fifty cents. From present appearnnces, the prospeet for a. rood nine at Harvard Collere next vearis not firstclass. Only two of last year's team remain in school, and there is not suflicient talent to suoply the places of the absent omes. Ernst, the pitcher, is attending the medical scliool, but docs not intead to play ball any more. “The Only Nolan” is said to be wanted as ‘pitcher for a professional club to be orzanized in California. In ease heis taken, some other club in that State should enage Devlin.

Pettit still insists that he is going to organize aNew York Club and get into the Leaeue. There will be some difticulty in securing suita- ble grounds, but he hopesto overcome this, and put_a nine in the field that will be a eredit to its hailine-place. Mr. Pettit is energetic, and can achieve success with 8 New York team if the thing is within the limits of possibility, It is a doubtful experiment, however, aving been tried unsuccessfuliy on various oceasions. Fergy Malone, the famous catcher of the Ath- leties in their haleyon days, has proposed to the Dbase-ball manawers of Indianaolis to puta nine in the field next season for $7.500, includ- o the $1,200 for his own salary as Captain and manager, and guaranteeing to win thirey League fZames or no _pay he past three years has demonstrated that Indianapolis will pay about $18,000 per year for base-ball entertaiuments, and the managers therefore have the proposi- tion under favorable consideration. This shows that Maioue regards the Milwaukee Club 8s a busted institution, as he had sigaed with it for next,year. Even Harry Wright admits that the new Leatrue rule, limiting the pitcher to a space six feet by four, will somewhat impair Bond’s efficiency. On gencral principles, a little_more of the same kind of legislation would do no harm. = Pitehers have become - disgustingly efficient during the vast five years, aud the gen- eral public would not object to a little of the sluzging style of batting in vorue in the earlier days of the game. As long s the Chicazo Club plays on the zrouuds now used by it, how- ever, it cannot be expected to advocate the use of u lively ball, a3, fu case of its adoption, more fish-net fence would have to be constructed. BILLIARDS. STUPIDLY MALICIOUS. The Ciipper man, with his customary talent {for dolny dirty things, has studiea up something spiteful to say about the recent match betyween Stosson aud Schaefer in Chicago, representinz that Chicagonus now in New York express sus- picions both as to the making of the match and its results. Nothing could be more absurd or gratuitous, and the Clipper man probably lies when be says be ever heard any such suspicions expressed by Chicago. Nobody here doubts that the match was genuine in every particular. Hippodromes are unot generatly organized on the gublished Dbasis of $%30 a side between such players as Slosson and Schacfer. The latter onginally had every dollar in the main stake for hi e, but as a favor let half of it go, keeping $125 for himself. and let- ting Frauk Parker nhave 850, ** Dump * Rhines $25, Mose Weinstein §25, and_Frank Doussang $25. Undoubtedly Charley Slosson, who man- $25. aged the match in Lis brother’s behalf, could show an_equally clcan bill. Asto the result, Schaefer’s triends concede that he was outplay- cd, but consider that he was *outlucked " also. Nobody who saw the match has ever questioned Schaeter’s {utent to win if he could. The Clip- per man tried to say something smart, and end- ©d by saylng something stupid and malicious. * TIlZ TOURNAMEN: Schaefer leaves to-night for New York, to put himself m practice for the tournament, which begins Jan. 14, He will have,Garnier for s oractice-partoer, and make Garnier’s room bis headguarters. Garnicr is reported to be playing better billiards than ever before, and one of the wise ones who bas been watching bim says he is a dangerous eutry for the first prize. ‘The fecling bereabouts is one of satisfaction that Gallagher is to play in the toarnament. He may not et any of the large slices, bus he is both skillful and square, and will do the tournament no discredit in any way. ALOUT TOW: Albert Hoa and “*Dump™ Rhines had a tussle over 500 points a day or two ago, and Albert is waitiug for his next week’s salary to come due 50 he can try it azain. Both pliyed zood bill- iards, Rhines averaging near 20 in the last half of the game. % AMose Bensinger returned Thursday from New York. and reports business as simply immense, Heretofore tables have been shipped from Chi- cago and Ciucinnati to supply the New York branen house, but it has becn found necessary to arrange for carring on a factory in the latter city. Tom Foley is now comfortably installedin a pretty room with five tables on Dearborn street, near “his ante-fire quarters. Ife has dropped politics and other nousense, and proposes to ad- here to his pet occupation,—that of keeping a billiard-room gs it ouzht to be kept. The open- ing occurred last cvening, and was notable for the nutber of old-timers who happened fp. ftis as zood as settied that a Chicago tour- pament will be given at the Brunswick Hall some time during the winter mouoths. The weight of preference is for tne cushion-carom zame, and it this is decided upon there will be no objection to the entry of Schacfer and Slos- son, and one ortwo other leading St. Louis players. There are, besides, several rising amateurs in Chicago, who woula be glad to try their skill at thc “cushion game, amone thei Charley Schaefer, a brother of Jacob Schaefer, who has the billiard blood in him, and plays a ma' clever game. The details remain to be set- tled, but it is Frobnb]e that the tourney will not come off until after the big affair in New York has been concluded. WRESTLING. AM'LAUGHLIN VS. M'MAION. * Not Jong azo Messrs. McLaughlin and McMa- hon, the well-known athletes, had a wrestling match at McCornick Hall, and last evening they induleed in some more of the same sort at the same place. The match wos collar and clbow, in harness, for $1,000 a side and the champion- ship of the world. The first match was won by McMabhon, while in last night’s contest Me- Laugzhiin was the victor. The other time the odds were on McMahon, even after he had lost the first fall; this time the betting was $10to $3 on McLaughlin after McMabon had won a fall. This ouly goes to show how mew’s oninions mav chenge in the course of two weeks. ‘The mutch of last evening may be disposed of in a yery short space. Mr. Breonan was nmpire for McLaughlin, Mr. Brink for MeMahou, and Frank Van Ness, the driver of Bonesetter, acteu as Referee. McLaughlin won the first fall in 21 minutes, McMahon the second in 13 minutes, and McLaughlin the turd in 11 minutes. Then McLaughlin came to the front, was presented with the belt and door reccints, said MeMahon was the best man he ever met, and retired amid applause. Consicderable mizht be written about the grapevine lock, ete., but wrestling is not popular evough ia Chicago to warrant going into technicalities. Messrs. Me- Laughlio and MeMahon have wrestled twice in Chicazo to grood audiences, and ought tu be satfsfled with the money they take out of town. Paol-sclling on last nizit's match was not very brisk, The boys are learning ¢o fight shy of wrestling matches. SUNDRY SPORTS. . AQUATIC. flanlan has finally madea mateh with Jobn Huwdon, who is- regarded as the best young sculler in England, and will leave for Europe about Feb. 1. Hawdon s 23 years old, five feet seven inches hizh, and weighs 150 pounds. He began bis carcer as a sculler in 1876, and has gajned eleven vietories over Ensland’s best oarsmen. Iis match with Hanlan will take place May 5, 1879, on the Tync. . THE BICYCLE. A Bicycle Club bas been formed in San Fran- cisco. The first meeting took place last month.

San Antonin (Tex.) Herald. Reference was made in the Hera'd yesterday . 0f uLr beat sireets: no i to the mammoth cougar or Mexican lion, which «was chained in the stockyard of S. M. Wharton, n South Klores street. Hardly was the de- scriotion of the apimal in type before Flores street was in a furor. Crowds rushed to the stockyard. Little Jose de In Barrera. a child of Widow Guadalupe Rameros, was scen in the ferocious animal’s clutches. Andrew Iogan, who was standing by the gate, says that the cougar had leaped unexpectediy to the length of its chain, and scized the boy’s arm through the gate. Little Jose was. Pullcd through the gate aud literally torn to pieces. All that the hundreds of citizens could do was to pull out their revolvers aud empty their contents into the vougar's Liead, but it was too late. e ———— An onteast, derided, insaited, unknown, By the world nnpiticd, forsaken, alone; So weary, it seemed she must lie down and die, \Vhllabme gay and the heartless passed hurriedly ' Y.
