16 THE TURE. What Will Be Done at the Con- gress This Week. More Stringent Rules for the Punish- ment of Jobbery to Be Passed. A Large List of Entries for the June Stakes of the Chicago Jockey Club. Noted Trotters Going to Europe—Sales of Fast Stork in Chicago—Kotes and Gossip. TITE CONGRESS. On Tuesday of the present'weck the Congress of the members of the National Trotting As- sociation will be held in New York City, and it is probable that the actions of that-body will be of more importance to the turf and the public gen- erally than buve those of any similar gathering for years. To say that for the past three years there has been a growing opposition to the man- ner in which the business of the National Asso- ciation has been conducted would be but the repetition of a well-known fact which has been frequently wladed to in these columns. The ‘two principal causes of complaint are that,under the present administration of affairs, there is practically no punishment for the most flagrant violations of the rules,—violations -which in other cotntries would not only expel the offender from the turf, but also assure him a sojourn in the nbarest jafl—and that horsemen are absolutely without protection from the wrong doings of associations. In the latter matter much. of the blame Js laid upon Secretary Vail, whether justly or not remains to beseen. There are innumerable instances in which drivers and owners of trotting horses bave been swindled in the most barefaced man- ner by track managers, but that one of the offending parties was ever punished no one has been able todiscover. It would be easy to cite cases of this kind by the score, but two will suffice,—those of McKimmin. vs. Fleetwood Park and Splan vs. The St. Louis Jockey & Trotting Club. In both instances the drivers of trotters were bilked out of money regarding their right to which there was never the slight; est question; but in neither case have they been able to obtain satisfaction. In the Splan case, sside from the holding-out of money be- longing to other people by an officer of the St, Louis Club, there is an interesting question, of Yeracity between the said officers and Secretary Vail in relation to the sending of a certain xelegram. ‘The settlement of this phase of the case rests entirely with Mr. Vail, and his ‘word will be accepted without dispute. Wheth- er or not the Congress will take any action that ‘will not only prevent ‘the perpetration of such wrongs in the future, but also remedy le those which have oc- curred in the past, remains to be secn. Most of the dissatisfaction regarding these snatters exists in the West for the simple reason that the bulk of the trol interest of the country lics here, but the impression seems to prevail at the Secretary's dftice that there are no tracks outside of New England and New York, ‘when in fact the associations in that part of the country are all dead or dying. ‘A radical change 1s the only thing that effectthe desired re- sult, and in this part of the country the impres- sion is very general that a change in the Secre- tary’s office would be the proper initial more. In regard to the Presidency, nothing definit known. Mr. Woolley, who oftice for several years, @ month ago, and has to allow his name tobe used for the position again. When this fact first became known there was 2 general de- Sire that the Hon. William Edwards, President of the Cleveland Club, should take his place, but at last accounts the last-named gentleman was tirm 1n bis refusal of the proffered honor. Maj. MeDowell, of Kentucky, has also been spoken of in this connection, and would make a first-class man for the place, as his policy turf frauds has always been an ive one. The -xington Association, of which he isa member, ublicly denounced the ruling in the Edwin ‘orrest case as one calculated to vitally injure the turf, and in this position it is sustained by everybody. There is no use in denying that the present system of leniencyj to men caught in Hagrant Violations of the rules is working the Aertraction gt the National Association, and that unless a hal€ is at once made the dissolution of that organization will’ occur in a very short. time. There has beer a call-by certain parties for more stringent rules, and perbaps this idea is not a bad one, although the present code of laws provide sufficient punish- ment for crime if strictly enforced. It is pro- posed by the advocates of new rules to make expulsion final, s0 that a man once found guilty of an infraction of the rules, the penalty for which is expulsion, will never theresfter be Riven a chance to repeat the offense. That the enactment of such a law. would do away with many of the abuses now so common there is not the slightest doubt, and the Congress could not do better than to Sollow the suggestion made. It bas also been said that hereafier no expelled persons were to be reinstated, and the case of James H. Goldsmith, expelled at Boston last fall for pulling Alley, Would be made the initial one of, the new departure. Why Goldsmith should be singled out to serve as an awful example, while equally guilty parties have been restored to the privileges from the enjoyment of which they were temporarily debarred, is not plain, but as to this nobody will -be very par- ticular, 50 long as the desired change is made. In regard to the District Board trom this sec- tion of the country, it is believed. that Chicago. will he given its Chairmanship, a position due to’ the importance of this city as a turf centre. , . THE CHICAGO STAKES. . In yestergay’s Trinune was given 2 list of the entrics for ‘thé’ stakes to be run .at the June meeting here, the Ist embracing 405 horses in the eleven events. Since then the following ad- ditional nominations have been received: Pacific Hotel Stakes—C. A. Lewis, Mont Cenis, Kuas., enters b, f. Satiila, 3 years, by imp. Buck- den, dum Matilda. Bia Grand Raiiroad Stakes—Same entry as above. In Garden City Cuap—Brown horse Bannoch Luth, aged, by ‘imp. Australian, dam Bonita; same nominator. In addition tothe stakes already named, an- other one, which cannot fail to prove of great interest, is proposed, as shown by the following letter: “CHICAGO, Feb. 7-H. V. Bemis, Treasurer Chicaga Jockry & Trotting Club—DEaAR Sir: As projectors and builders of the Chi Jockey x Trotting Club, we offer the following, to be known as The Lawrence & Martin Stake: A purse of $400 for a two-mile dash, to be run on July 1, 1880. Yours respectfully, “ LAWRENCE & SIARTIN.” Asthe stakes now stand, the number of. en- tries is as follows: Ladies’ Stake, 38; Haverly Theatre Stake, 44; Criterion Stake, 40; Downer & Bemis Stake, 29; Minois Oaks, 27; Garden City Cup, 30; Pacific Hotel Stakes, 30; Tremont House Stakes, 0; Grand Railroad Stakes, 47; Board of Trade Handicap, 53; Palmer House Stakes, 20. Last year the Garden City Cup brought to the post the best ficld of horses seen ona track during the year, and the victory of Mollic McCarthy over the crack flyers of the West and South was a memorable one. This year the starters promise to be an equally, £00 lot, as the list comprises Macedonicus, Mollie Seabrook, Fair Count, Mary Walton, Verdict, Headlight, Harkaway, Cammie F, One Dime. Jils Johnson, Ada Glenn, Renown, Fortuna, Yolturno, Little Ruffin, Long Tom, Miss Hard- away, Leon, Himyar, Irish King,’ Blue Eyes, Rlve Jeans, Gov. Neptune, Omega, Buckner, Keene Hichards Jr., L'Argentine, Ben Hill, Mamie Fields, and Bannoch Loth. | Of these. iwenty are 4-year-olds, seven 5-year-olds, und three need,—Harkuway, L' Argentine, and Ban- noch Lath. Tne entire lot of entries number 408.—a far greater number than has been se- cured by any other Association, and the meet- ing cannot fail of being a grand success. | CHARLESTON. CHARLESTON, S.C., Feb. 7.—The meeting of the South Carolina Jockey Club closed to-day. ‘The mile dash for 2-year-olds was won by Col. Sprague; Wanderer filly, the favorit, second. ‘Time, 1:48%.

Kneebs, of Sioux City, the trotting mare Dakota Maid, record 2:26. ~_ Jessie bing tie & horse that was fairly success- ful in the Michigan circuit last year, is being driven on the road by 2 Cleveland gentleman. The Coldwater (Mich.) Association has decided te give a trotting. meeting May 1%, 13, and 14, when about $2,500 in premiums will be offered. Col. Crockett, of the Longview Stock-Farm, near Moline, Ill., has sold to Mr. Robert Lucas, of St. Louis, the trotting mare Cintella, for road use. Mr. Vanderbilt will trot Maud S. next summer sf she does well in her preparatory work. She is nore at < Cincinnati, and is being handled by W. John Kenny, an Irish light-weight Jockey, has been engaged by Mr. August Belmont, and will reach this country about atareh L He rides at ninety pounds. Mr. George Lorillard, who went to -Florida during the early part of the winter, crippled from rheumatism, has entirely recove! the use of his limbs. Mr. J. A. Grinstead will send St. Martin, Jim Beck, Bashi Bazouk, a three-year-old filly by Alarm, two two-year olds, to be trained by Mr. Charles Pryor, at Freehold, N. J. John Splan purchased last Thursday for agen- tleman in this city an unnamed gray gelding, 7 years old, by Rice Graves, outof a mare by ‘American Star. .He will bo trotted next season. Mr. William Astor, baving decided to retiro from the turf, will sell his horses now in train- ing at auction Feb. 25. The lot consists of Fern- cliffe, brother to Vagrant, Vanderdecken, Ful- ton, Mulrooncy, and Saladin. ‘ Peter V. Johnson, the well-known driver of this city, recently made a trip to Michigan for the purpose of selecting a “green” trotter for use next season. He is understood to have wade arrangements for one that can go close to Mr. Brodhead, the owner of Kentucky Wilkes, is still waiting ‘for Mr. Hibbard, the owner of Tekonsha, to put up his money for the match races he was anxious to make between these horses. Mr. Hibbard’s. ardor seems to havo cooled somewhat during the past week. Bae The white mare Cartie K., that was brought outin 1878 by Mr. W. L./Beck, of this city, and obtained a record of 2:30 under the handling of “Nosey”” Brown, was sold lust Friday through Splan’s Exchange to a gentleman of St. Paul, Minn., who will,use her hereafter as a pole horse. The well-known trotti stallion Scott's Thomas, record 2:21, reached Chicago yesterday from Nashville, having been purchased by Mr. R.C. Mersereau, of this city. Six other horses, the property of the same gentleman, were also in the car, the entire lot having been secured in ‘Tennessee. yom advance sheets of Krik's Guide it is learned that the total number of races run in thiscouutry and Canada last year was 1.250, two of which were afterward declared void. Of these events, 1.104 were won by horses with known pedigrees and 147 by those whose breeding was either not known or uncertain. John Splan has forwarded, through the agency of Dunton’s Spirit of the Turf, a beautiful and expensive halter to Col. E.S. McCurdy, Tennes- see, the owner of Mi rdy’s Hambletonian. This beautiful gift is to be worn by the colt named John Splan, and which colt Col. McCurdy confidently expects to trot as fast as Rarus. Gray Salem, record 2:24, and one of the best cross-country horses in the world, has been sold ue Mr. Ed- Swope, of East Buffalo, N. Y., to larry Giddens, of Toronto, who will send him toEurope. Salem's record was 2:24, obtained in Chicago last summer, during the temporary ab- sence from the sulky of his regular driver, John Croker. Cornelius Sullivan, of Riverside, Ill., has sold toJ.E. Williams the fine thoroughbred stallion St. Denis, by imp. Scythian, dam Ducatoon, by Wagner. St. Denis is one of the best bred horses in the country, and the excellent quality of his colts bas mide them great favorits wherever the horse hus stood. It is understood that he will be taken West. E.S. Stokes has made two matches for his California trotter Tommy Gates against Steve Maxwell, for $1,000 a side, half forfeit, The first trot is to tuke place on June 9 next, two miles and Fepeat, in harness. The second race is to take place in Fleetwood, June 16; mile heats, best three in five, in harnes: day and track, or next good day and track. ‘Pat Malloy had fourteen representatives on the turf Inst season, and, like Enquirer, he did not have a 2-year-old to start for him. Eight of them were ee acs five 4-yeur-olds, and one 5-year-old. They ran eighty-five races, of which they won ten, were second in seventeen, third in eighteen, and unplaced in forty, with a totdl ag- gregate | winnings of 13.780, ‘of which Lord Murphy captured 310,69. The average per capita was $964.30. The case involving the ownership of the stakes and vase known as the Stallion Stake, won at Louisville last fall, and over which there was a dispute and lawsuit between Frank Harper and Harry Colston, his trainer, has been decided in favor of the lutter. Harper claimed that his horse, Jils Johnson, was pulled by order of Colston, who owned Irish King, and trained both, so that Irish King could win. The Judge ruled out all testimony regarding racing, and admitted only that which related to the owner- ship of the horse. Bonnie Scotland, the well-known sire of racers, died last Monday at the Belle Meade Farm, near Nashville, Tenn. He was by Iago, out of the celebrated mare Queen Mary. He ran only three times, winning the Liverpool St. Leger, was fourth in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, ran a dead heat with Artillery for the Doncaster St. Leger, and won the Doncaster Stakes, breaking down at the finish of the race. Among the best of his get were Dangerous, Surprise, Scotland, Malcolm, Ontario, Frogtown, Lobelia, Experi- ence Oaks, Nathan Oaks, Nathan Oaks, Regulat- or, Van, Bigaroon, Quartermaster, Spindrift, Paper Maker, Belle of the Meade, Bombast, Dan K. Bramble, Bergamot, Belle Isle, Bushwhacker, Balance All, Bonnie Wood, Baton Rouge, Beuti- tude, Bye and Bye, Ben Hill, Luke Blackburn, and Bancroft. A promising match was made at Stony Ford a few days-ago. A party of gentlemen were there, two of whom agreed each to buy a year- ling, provided Messrs. George: B. Alley and David Bonner would make the selection for them, the price being $500 for the pick, after the reservation of a few for brood mares. Mr. Alley chose for Mr. G. S. Moulton a bay filly by Le- jand, dam Rosema by Young America, and Mr. jonner selected for Mr. H. McCoon a chestnut volt by Kentucky Prince, dam Queen of May by Rysdyk’s Hambletoniau. A banter followed the purchase, which reeiited in the yearlings being matched to trot a race -at the meeting of the National Breeders’ Association in 1881, in their -year-old-form, for $500 a side, and the winner to take both colts. If all goes well, this will prove a race of great interest, and it savors of old times to have such mutches made. Somewhere out West, if we acceptas authority the picturesque nomenclature of our Indiags, there is a Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses; but beyond the Atlantic, if we take as instruct- ive the weights assigned by the English handi- cappers to Parole and Falsetto, there is an Old- Man-Afraid-of-Other-People’s-Horses. That this oldman should, of all the men in the world, be doughty John Bull, known us a man of the horse horsey, isto be written on the wall with a red pencilasa memorable fact. Notavery great while ago this John gave all American horses an allowance of ten pounds, without special in- quiry into the qualities, on the broad and gener- ous theory that an English horse was ten pounds better than any other horse in any circum- stances. This theory John stood by a great many years, and it must be said that for a great while the facts sustained him. Perhaps he did not altogether neglect sundry minor contri- vances which . helped the facts. in this particular,—for he was certainly fond of the idea of his superiority in horscs as in other ints, and treasured this allowance. Is it not is opinion that he himself isat least ten pounds better than all the world, and why should not his horses fecl their outs? But John has hauled down his colors. Parole’s present weight is 144 pounds, or about forty more than they gave him when he first went over. And to remonstrance against such weights English authorities answer: “If you do not like the weights, keep your horses out of the races.” That is apparently what it means. -They have made the weights to shut out American horses, because, perhaps, they want, te, Keep some of the eups' for them- selves.—New York Herald. ow Sam Houston Happened to Go to ‘Texas. «Fort Smith (Ark) Elevator. During Sam Houston’s residence in the Cherokee Nation, west of Arkansas, he lived with a daughter of old Capt. John peorers, an Indian, about two anda half miles wes! of Fort Gibson. He was a merchant, but tried _to conform to the ways and habits of the Indians, and in dress wore the hunting- swe buckskin leggings, and breech-clout of th€ Indians. For the ,ereater part of his stay here he was under the influence of liquor, when it could be had, and he was seldom withoutit. He seemed, after a residence of two years, to tire of ‘the part he was acting, and duringshort periods of soberness became morose and sullen. _ He was evidently com- pari sin his mind his present mode of iife with past, or a worthless, drunken white Indian with the proud Governor of Ten- nessee. It was directly after one of his long drunken spells that some of the Texas Chero- kees brought news of the war between Texas and Mexico. Houston, although not yet sober, walked out on the banks of the Grand River with John Henry, amerchant. Throw- ing himself down'on the ground, he was sifent for some time. At length, starting up juickly, he said: ‘Henry, let us go to Texas, Iam tired of this country and this life. Go with me, and J will make a_fortune for us both. You a merchant! I a mer- chant! Weare no more fit for merchants than h—1 is for a powder-house. Iam go! In that new, plate i wu make a man of my- again. le began once making preparation for the. at that time, Jong jour- ney.

In the creation of his plot and the devel- opment of his story---keeping}. as he does, the tide of interest always at the flood--- in happily commingling rough humor and homely pathos, the author appears to have succeeded in giving usa purely American Drama, based on incidents that are possi- ble and represented by characters that are not extravagant. “The events that far- nish the motive and the incidents introduced to aid the plot helong to what is known as “border life,” but in the presentation of these there is a delicacy of treatment level of the so-called ‘* border drama.” There are no revolver discussions and lynch- ings, no eruption of red shirts and slang phrases but in their place the home utter- ances of men and women who might have lived and had their being anywhere else MY.
