PORTING. THE TURF. , 3 HAVERLY AND RARUS. saverly, the euowmsn, has been negotiating for vetlhaee of Rarus. ‘He offered $20.000. and e pave given £25,000, and may own the horse would sv ainks there is 2 great deal more money {fin than bis present managers, realize, ut he i pt And it 2 different matter to handle a piece of sight nt vellesb from running a thestre. It was Monely uinted at Buffalo that it was because sre ilaverly nezotiation that [tatas did not start We tibe pacers; but Nr.

It is no secret tohis fricads that for the past year or so Gen, Baverly bas manifested an interest in the turf ‘hich has recently developed with such rapidity he is now one of the most enthusiastic and experienced horsemen (ina purely. theoretical way) that ‘America cav boast of, if, indecd, she ves to boast On such subjects. Previous to last. October the Gencral had never attended a horse- race, wpen he was not particularly engaged, he took i ip, and, a3 result, became infatuated with the sport. Upon being introduced to several qelebrated trotters his interest took a business, tarp, and he at once began to figure how much, sould be made ont of them in the show busi- nest. Nothing definite came of his planning Jest year, but this season he was early in the feld with new schemes. He struck the trotters., at Chicago, and has followed them through the Central Circuit, all the time perfect- ing ‘3 plan which was to astonish the country. He became so wrapped up in trotters and their performances that his entire life was tinged with them and his conversation profasely flavored with turf sayings and ex- pressions. Not long ago he visited his New York theatre and asked the manazer thereof how the prepatations for a spectacular piece, goon to be brought out, were progressing. The manager answered ‘him that everything was going on nicely. _ “How’s the bally-acting?” said Haverly. “Nicely,” said the manager; “ they're going te rehearse in a few minutes.” ““Well, Pll see for myself,” said the General. SSaseett Ro hewent .on the stage’ and witnessed the performances of the young ladies for some time jnei.ence. Finally they were required to do an ‘Amazon march from the rear of the stage down tothe footlights, but for some reason or other. things did not work well, onc end of the hne A@ys being a little. jn .advance of the other. Gen. Baverly watched for a while, and thensaid we would try his hand: at it The ballet- waster, a gentleman from suony Italy, whose fenorance of the English languaze was only eoualea by his aversion to:soap, demurred to this interference with bis “art,” but was Hilenced bs Gen. Haverly, who declared, with great vigor and a profusion of adjectives, that no macaronleating, sou-of-a-zuu could boss ‘his theatre,” and et once proceeded to instruct ihe bullet. Taking bis station at one side.of the stage, he yelled to the prompt-boy: © Gimme that bell.” +A ginall bell was handed him, end, after ring- ing it Worously 2 few times, he said to the as- tonished ballet-girls: = + Now you all come here.” « Ther immediately formed a cluster of beauty and legs .on all sidés of the General. i %Now you, young. woman,’ said be toa rather bigh-stepping girl, who sniffed the air dis- dainfully at being called “young woman”; ‘you have the pole. AH the rest of the inob must score by the pole-horse. Go back there a piece; don’t turn till 1 ring the bell, and then. come down together. I'll fine everybody that comes here ‘ahead of the pole-horse, and if he don’t suit me Jil fine him, too.” “1 aip't no hoss,”? sald one cthereal creature, who appeared on the Ddills as Senorita Adelina Vinetti, ‘and dogzon my skin if I’m goin’ to be treated like one, puther; you nearme!? = “J fine yon $10 for using . disrepectful lan- guage to the judge,” ssid Haverly; ‘and you tan't start until the fine is paid.” “Yes, 1 kin,” said the Senorita, “I. kin stort right now, and you bet I’m goia’ to"; saying which she made a ive for. the dressing- room and disappeared, - ‘ Well, PIl suspend her,” said Haverly. “And now the rest of you et back there and score again, I won't give the word if any of you-are ona break or’pacing, but you must all try to ret off” Somewhat subducd by the fate of the Senorita rty, and imagining from his talk that the volunteer ballet-master was an escaped lunatic th homicidal tendencies, the girls tricd- agnio, and czme down beautifully. When they gov abreast of Heverly he shouted “Go!” in Stentoriae tonez, and they ali made a break for ‘the dressing-roums. “There,” said the General to the awe-stricken Italian ballet-master, who had .sbrunk into a corver and was invoking the Virgin to protect him‘from the lunatic with the red mustache. “You bet J can make ’em come to the wire fo a line, and*I never tried it before. You darn orvap-erinders ere no account, anyhow’; aud with this parting blow at foreign institutions he ‘egithe thestte. ! re stated, Gen. Haverly’s acquaintance with the trotting-horse is entirely ‘theoretical, although {rom his conversation a person would imagine that he bad spent most of his iffe in a sulky. This kind of talk co impressed John Splan,.the driver of Rarus and other noted horses, that at the clogg of the recent meeting io this city he left Doty, an animal with a record of 2:21, in Mr. Haverly’s charge, fecling assured that be yould be in competent hands. The horse was sent to a liver\-stable, and in the course of a few dara his custodian ‘concluded to tekearide. He went to the stable and ordered Doty hitched np. Whea the job was concluded Gen. Haverly viewed the rig with a critical eye, and then said to the hostler, in a tone of stern contempt: .. = “Where's the sealping-boots?” ‘This. hoss don’t wear scalping-boots, nor no other kind,” was the response. é& ‘But he certalnly must wear boots of some Peeper said the misguided Haverly, who : a misty idea that oows were what wave a loree speed. ane the hostler eaid no, and after an ineffect- 5 attemutto have bim put toe-weights_ on Tee, Shind feet, “tosive nim action,” Gen laverly drove off, casting his Weather eye uow ire then over the horse in a professional way to x ifhe was moving all rizbt.

Buffalo meeting, Tae Cutcaco Tripons and the Spirit of the Times were the only ones’ that had the courace to expose the shameless jobs which were perpetrated there ahd which went unpunished by the judges. It was not to be expected that ~the cal eheets would engage in this kind of work, as, although conducted in the most amiable manner, their characteristics are entire- ly of the negative order, and, becanse’ Buffalo Park-ig managed by gentlemen of ‘inflooence,”” it would not do to reveal any of the dirty work which they permitted to zo unpunished. Taz Tumune did the work well, however, and now it is being ably seconded by the Spirit; the cur- rent number of which contains an editorial on is extracted: Again. it had been hoped that the recent revola- tions and the hue and cry against fraud would be effectual to prevent its ugly head being raised at this meeting, but we are sorry to record the onpo- site fact, It was not successful ES ie 4222" ing off any race, except in class, where the judges " detected the game, and took the means to conntezact it, but, * unfortunately, the horse which ought to have won was. 2 paighen =p convalescent from many dis- easee, and hot able to trot the-race through, but it cropped out in several. In the 2:35 class it was promptiv stamped out, the best horse being forced to win, and.the crooked driver gent to Coventry: in the 2:23 race there was an évident combination to prevent Emma B. from winring at all bazarda, a well-known gang poing for her by every means mown to unserupulous jockeys, after her owner und refused to divide, vat in this case the superior qualities of the maredefeated the intentions of the combination; in the. 2:18 race there was voth- ing that conld be called fraud, but the existence of a combination to scare the life out of the. speedy d-year-uld ‘Trinket was too plain to be mistaken; and_the driving of Chance in the first two heats of the 2:29 race wax, to say the least, dubious. We disiike to chronicle these matters,-dut it is. clearly our simple duty. The day for indiecrimi- nate laudution of turf events bag passed, and if independent journals and independent men did not recoznize this fact there would be no more turf events. ‘ But there are some things to which the Spirit does not allude, which are quite as important a3 those to which s0 much attention has been given. It is well known that one result of the 2:29 race was Yhe expulsion of “Red Bill”? McLaughlin, the driver of Kate" Hall, for én- deavoring to throw that race to Daclana after Kate Hall had won two heats in the easiest pos- sible manner. Tue TRiwUNE. docs not_propose to offer any excuses for McLaughlin. , It be- lieyes his punishment to have been warranted, and commends the course taken by ‘Buffalo Park. But it would like to know why a similar punisbment was-not inflicted upon Mabones, the driver of Charles Hinson in the 2:27 race. His desire not to win was so manifest that, after the second heat bad been trotted, Charley Green was put behind Hinson, and the borse Won the next two heats in 2:25, 2:25,—the fastest pre- vious time in the race having been 2:27. There was not the slightest-doubt that the horse had been pulled and jockeyed with in the most bare- faced manner, and yet the same judges who were so prompt in coming down on the unfor- tunate McLaughlin do not scem to have even dhecussed the advisability of extending the same punishment for a more aggravated offense to Mahoney. It is known that McLsughlin had no friends iu high places. Can the same be truth- fully said of Mahoney? 1t has been openly cbarged, and not denied, that Mr. Burt Shel- don, an officer of the Rochester track, and a man who presides at races over its track, is a part owner of Hinson, and that be psid or guaranteed the’ horse’s entrance money at Buffalo. Now, if such. is not the case, itis very easy matter ior Mr. Shel- don to make his denial as_ public as other peo- ple have made these charges, Jf they are true, ‘Mr. Sheldon’s silence is very discreet—and sug- gestive. But whether or not Bir. Sheldon was pecuniarily interested in Hinson cuts no figure go far 2s the Buffalo judges are concerned. They pelieved that fraud was being perpetrated, and achange of drivers showed that their belief qwas founded on fact. There was no chauce for argument as to what should be done, But the judges did nothing. They knew that the whole country was being informed of their gross neg- Yect of duty,—to say. nothing worse,—and yet they made no move to refute the charges 80 freely made. On the last day of the meeting they selected a poor, friendleas devil from Michigan, ané, on evidence not half s0 conclu- sive ag that offered in the Hinson race, expelled him with a great flourish of trumpets, the act heing loudly heralded by their personal organs in Buffalo. 5 ‘This may do very well for one year, but toe ultimate result will be the destruction of the Buffalo,track, It is bad enough in any case to Jet fraud go unpunished; but, when onesinoer is selected as a scapegoat for half-a-dozen others, the thing becomes naaseating. Buffalo bas an- pounced, with a great flourish of tru:npets, her divorce from the Central Cireait, and, ia, view of this season’s developments, the Associations composing that body have gotten rid of a very unhealthy and undesirable member. THE HARTFORD ENTRIES. This week the trotters are at Hurtford, the meeting at which place takes place Tuesday to Friday, inclusive, The entries closed some time 2g0,'‘but were not made public by the Associa- tion until a few days ago, the first list reaching Chicago yesterday. All the classes, except the pacing race, have filled well, as they always do at Hartford, there being a large number of New England horses that always help to swell the en- try listat Charter Oak Park. ‘The track isa very fast one, and last year Rarus trotted the fastest’ three consecutive heats on record there: 2:15, 9:1834, 2:135¢. Mr. Souner bas said that during this week’s meeting he will trot Edwin Forrest a mile against time, and, if the wonderful stories thathave been told of this horse’s speed are true, 2:12-will be beaten, -The entries are as follows: TUESDAY.” —] $1,500; 7505 class Parse, $1,008) Seth.

Carcago, Aug. 23.—Previous to the last mat- ince held at the grounds of the Chicago Jockey Club, which came off on Saturday, Aug. 16, my driver was urgently solicited to enter my stall- fon, and was also told that he would be expect- ed to start without fail. ‘The stallion, Comanche Chief, was entered and prepared to start, when, to my surprise and without a moment's warning, I was informed that no mulatto or nigger would be allowed to drive, in consequence of two white drivers bay- ing said they would not drivyeif adarky was allowed to take part in the race. At this decision { was very much put out, but bore the disappointment as well as could be ex- pected under the circumstances, though at the same time 1 found it necessary to seek a shady spot to, if possible, cool off. My driver, who is a colored man, hag been in my employ for years, understands my horse thoroughly, and can drive him much better than a stranger could. Of course if it been a bona fide rule of the As- sociation that po colored man should ever drive on that track I should have thought nothing of it, much Jess of putting myself io the awkward position in which I was at that time placed. On the other hand, I am pretty sure it is not one of their rules, and if it is it was broken uo later than last month, when the summer meeting was eld. Thave been a member of the Association for some time, but I must say the treatment [ re- ceived at the matinee of which I speak annoyed me vyery-much. A Slumprg. THE WINNERS AT UTICA. With a desire to remove, as far as possible, the stain which bas rested on its good name for the past three years, the Utica Association en- gaged for the meeting last week the services of two judges from other -points,—Messrs. J. P. Wiser of Prescott, Ont., and Col. A. L. Snow- deu of Philadelphia. The result was that everything went off pleasantly, except in the 2324 race, ‘Thursday, when it was charged that Lida Bassett was being puiled. As she came out of the third heat dead lame, there was no ebance proving or disproving the charge by the substitution of another driver for Muckle. The list of the winning horses is as follows: Amount Class. . 22818 pecial Name. Darby, Rarus. Bonesetter Record Capt. Emme Etta Jones Little Gypsey . Voltaire ....

The reagon given for Madden’s desertion is that he feels his honor touched by a few plain-spoken remarks which his late master allowed himself to make to him as to his impudent bearing since his repeated victories on Kincsem. Madden hassworn, and, what is much. more to the purpose, bet heavily that. the hitherto invincible Kincsem will this time find her match in Kunstlerio.

The Chicagos are once more even with the Providence team, having won three games last week, and are prepared ‘to make a strong grip for that peanant yet. Cincinnati having refused to play the twelfth game of the series with Chi- cago, the latter club is credited with the game. Boston maintains third place firmly, having won all the games’ played last week. The Buffalo Club is no longer a dark horse, Chicago having aettled its pretensions in thetwo games dropped: in this city. ‘The home club plays the Cleve- lands Monday and Tuesdsy,—the last League games in the city this season,—and then go to Buffalo, After the Cleveland games thereremain but twenty-one contests for the Chicagos, and, if they play with as much vim-and “co” as lately exhibited, the flag will fly in 1880 from the tall staff in White-Stocking Park.

ANSON. . Patrons of base-ball in this city will learn with keen recret of the absolute retirement from the Chicago Club for the remainder of the playing season of 18790f Adrian C. Anson, the famous Captain and first baseman of the White Stock- ing nine, on account of serious physical disabilt- ty. Itbas been well known for several weeks past that Capt. Anson was the victim of an acute affection of the liver, and that he was suf- fering a degree of ill-bealth that had sadly im- paired his strength and capacity for play. But the big man, bigin the biggest sense of the word as applied to a base-ball player, stubbornly refused to acknowledge himself sick, and day after day went on the field and played bis position—aud, more than that, maiu- tained his position as the best batsman in the League—when most men would have gone to bed and sent for the doctor.‘ His whole soul was bound up in the success of the Club, and he refused to go on the sick-llst until fafling strength and fresh complications iv his ailments fairly forced him to retire. Even then he would make his appearance regularly on the grounds at the usual bour every morning to fulfill his functions as Captain and manager, and not a’ game was played that be did not wist- fully watch from his seat ia the grand stand, or, more latterly, an arm-chair op the porch of the club-house. Within the past ew days the melancholy truth has been forced upon him that he is yery serlously ill, and mast give up and submit to medical treatment. He will consequently take part in no more games this year, and will not accomoany the Club on its final Eastern trip. To say that his loss is,ir- reparable is no reflection upon the other players of the Club, for, as President Hulbert pats it, * Anson would be more than one-ninth of any nine players that could possibly be gotten to- gether.” No man ever held so high a place in the esteem and respect of Chicago audiences as that hela by Anson; no man has ever been 2more notable figure in base-ball than he, Since his connection with the Chicago Clab Anson has been in greater demand among club managers in other cities than any player in the League. But Chicago was his chosen home, and no amount of inducement could even make nim consider a proposition togoclsewhere. He was literally a tower of strengtn, What with his magnificent physique, bis pre-eminent ability as a batsman anda fleider, bis ekill and tact as Captain and manager, his unflagging zeal and earnestness which infected his fellow-players,bis modest, quiet ways when dealing with e-heir the players or the Management, and his spotless, unassailed, and unassailable integrity,—all these qualities united made him, what he was almost universally conceded to be the best ball player in the world. Chicazo will not soon look upon his like szain, and out of the gevuine affection which is feit lor him here among patrons of the game will go to him the deepest sympathy with his misfertune and the warmest wishes for his speedy aud entire recovery. ip CHICAGO VS. CLEVELAND. The White Stockings are keeping braced up wonderfully well, and, after laying out the But- falos two gumes, started in on the Clevelands yesterday with a vigor somewhat astonishing to the young men composing that nine, since when they met the Chicagos two wecks ago the latter were in such astate of demoralization that it.) was no trick at all for Cleveland to win two games from them. Yesterday things were aif” ferent, and the visitors thought themselves in Juck to secure one run, which they earned by- two base hits and some fast running on the part of Phillips. In the balanca of the game they were unable to score, 80 effective was the pitching of Hankinson, it being well supported by all the Whites except Shaffer, who failed to handle acouple of right-fleld ground- era. Williamson’s error was perfectly excus- able, being made ona difficult ball to handle. Gore played first base, as an enthusiactic spec- tator remarked, “like a house afire.” His record of fourteen men put out tells for itself, and in several instances the throws were low hot ones, none of which, however, he failed to hold. Peters was also ‘at himself,” and looked } after the interests of short-field fo astyle that he has not before exhibited this season. In the fifth inning heaccomplished s double play, mak- ing a beautiful running stop of Carey’s hot groander over second, forcing Eden out at that base, and then retiring the striker at first by a ‘quick and accurate throw. Dalrymple was also ‘exceedingly active in his territory, retiring three men in fine style; while Remsen tool the only fly that came’ his way. Jn batting, the | Chicagos were not particularly strong, Flint and Kemseo leading the score with asingle and double-baser each. In the ninth ining Williamson sent the ball fiving down to the centre-tleld seats for three bases, but did not tally, this being his only hit. ‘The first run for Chicago was secured in the second inning, after the Clevelands had been twice retired without scoring. . Shaffer, the firat man at bat, reached first by reason of Carey's moff of an easy grounder, and at once stole sec-* ond. Gore'was thrown out at first by Carey, Shailer taking third on the play, - from which point Flint brought him home by a hot and safe Tine fly to loft field. Quest was thrown out at first by McCormick, and as Hankinson struck out Flint was left on third, having gone to sec- ond while Quest was beingretired, and to third ona passed ball. - ; Cleveland's only tally came in the third inning. ‘After MeCormick bad been put out by Peters and Gore, Phillips bit “into the netting fora base. Eden's grounder to right was muffled by Shaffer, the striker reaching first, anu Paillips going tosccond. On Carey's long base-hit to erent be came home. » Warner bit to Peters, who threw to Flint, putting out Eden at the home- plate. Glasscosk’s hot bounder along the line of third base was not cleverly bundled by Will- jamsou, the striker reaching first, Warner sec- ond, and Carey third. ‘With three men on bases, Gilligan hada chance to distinguish himself, put a grounder to Peters settled his fate. ‘the Waite Stockings also made one in this inning, Remsen and alrymple leading off with safe grounders over second. They advanced a base apiece on Peters? grounder to Phillips, the striker dying at first. Williamson was thrown out by Glasscock, Remsen tallying, and ‘Dal- rymple going to third. Williamson stole second, and, in trying to come home on th play, Dalrymple ‘was put out. In the flith inning Dalrymple scored. Remsen preceded him with a two-base bit over the right-field fence, but in'trying to reach third’ on Dalrym- ple’s bit to Casey, was caugnt petween the bases, sand finally run out by Warner. Glasscock then got the ball, and tires te 50 sel to enilling thet rymple took second, tallying on Peter's sal Dalrymple ‘Williamson was fived by Strief, and Shatter thrown out at first by eye _ ‘The next tally arrived in the seventh inning, Hankinson getting around the bases on 3 hase hit, an error by Glasscock on McCormick's throw to second of the ball hit oy Remsen, and the plays by which Dalrymple and Peters were put out.

This statement, of course, was caught at by the newspapers and has had a wide currency in base-ball colucane, Nevertheless, it isalie. At no time during this season have the salaries of the Star team been overdue a week.

But just then something like 250 pounds of Providence beef, in the person of Brown, appeared at the bat.’ He settled it. The ball ieft his bat and soared like a rocket over Macullar’s head, down towards the northeast cornerof the fence. By the time Dorgan reached it Brown hid man- aged to reach third base, where he waited ontil McGeary, who hada hand in making the two first runs, lit upon a ball fora smgie to centre, and then the old fat rascal csme puffing down to the plate, the winner of the game.
