Hereafter it will be instant death for any driver caught doing crooked work, and Jess of it will be seen. In this connection it may de stated that a vigorous effort was made to se- ure the reinstatement of . young Goldsmith, 2.3 Robinson, of Jackson, Mich, advocat ing the young man’s cause, but the Congress re- {used to entertain the idea, and the matter was laid on the table. Mr, W. H. Wilson, of Kentucky, introduced a novel idea, in’ the ‘subjoined rule, which was adopted, ‘The only weak point in Mr. Wilson's scheme is the great scientific fact that no horse can be photogruphed so that his owner would xecognize him from looking at the plesures itshall be the duty of the members upon whose taack 5 suspicious horse Appears to order the photographed, and take his full description as to size and ot} gt peculiarities, and fo: one-half dozen, to the Secret pcre, one copy to be kept on exhibition in the oftice; members; which copies shall, as soon 2s practicable, be returned to the Secretary.

W. itinchman, San Fran- i ith, San Francisco; and Christopher Green, Sacramento: Tho first-named gentleman on_each of the District Boards, together with the President and Vice-Presidents of the Association, constitute the Board of Review. The President and Vice- dents are always ex-officio members, but it is a rule that at each meeting of a District Board the Chairman shall be changed. Hence, the make-up of the body of the Board of Review is constantly changing. The Secretary and ‘Treasurer bold their offices by appointment from the Board of Review. It will be seen that Chicago has been honored by the selection of the Hon. S. K. Dow as second Vice-President of the National Association. Mr. Dow is too well known in this city tonced any eulogy. He bas always been an ardent lover of turf sports, and was the tirst President of the Chicugo Jockey and Trotting Ulub, of which or- ganization he is now the Vice-President. Judge Grant, of Davenport, has been forthe paet tro Years the Second Vice-President of the National Association, and brings to his new position an experience in turf matters that cannot but prove vyluable. ‘The thanks of Western horsemen are due to Mr. H. V. Bemis, of this city, who attended the Congress as a delegate, and did much toward securing necded legislation for this part of the country. ‘The Congress will meet in 1882 in New York. WAR IN MICHIGAN. To say that there will be lively times in Michi- gan next spring is putting the matter, mildly. ‘Times will not only be lively, but they: will also be warlike, and already'language of the:most sanguinary character is ‘being indulged ‘in by the members of one side to the fight. The trouble has‘ull arisen out of an old-time feeling. of bitterness between Detroit and the other as- sociations which have for years past constituted what isknown as the Michigan Circuit. Last year the Detroit track was not a member of the Nutional Association, but not long ago tho moribund organization at that point was par Ually revived, and an effort made to assume an appearance of sprightlinesas which would warrant horsemen in the belief that something wonderful was tobe done. Capt. John-De Mass and several other well-known. philinthropists ‘took the concern in hand, and announced, with no small flourish of trumpets, that Detroit would hereafter keep pace with her sister Asso- cintions in Michigan, and do things on a grand scale generally. Gf courso it was proposed ty icin the Michigan Circuit, but this part of the program was regarded merely as a matter of form. since no opposition was apprehended. The old feuds were supposed to have been eettled, and the hatchets that tad been flourished s0 vigorously in times gone by forever interred in the silent tomb of the past. But in this the Detroit people were lly mistaken. As they teil the story, they have been deceived and be- trayed by the affable but wily Don Robinson, Secretary of the Jackson Association, and gen: erul. authority on trotting matters. About a month ago the subject of forming the Michigan Circuit this year began to be agitated, and it was announced in THE NB that the Stewards of the Great Western Trotting — Cireuit (which includes several Michigan tracks, and that ut Toledo, 0.) would meet at the Just named city. Capt. of the Detroit Jockey and Trottthg Club. at once conceived the brilliant idea of heading off Toledo and having the circuit composed gatirels of Michigan tracks. He at once wrote to Mr. Robin- “son, stating that if the Secretaries of the tracks st Jackson, Battle Creek, Saginaw, Grand Hapids, Flint, and Pontiac: would mect at De- troit and arrange a purely Michigan circuit, the Detroit Association would join in the scheme the delegates. ‘To this Mr. Robinson repiled in an extremely diplomatic manner, stating that other business had pre- vented his paying much attention to turf mat- ters lately, but uot saying whether or not he ac- animal the other five to be subject to the call of the- Parole and Falsetto have ‘been giver. all'the weight thoy can carry, and perhaps a little more than was expected, the 3-ycar-olds have been let in at fair figures, especially when the very creditable performances of Mistake end ‘Sly Among the important transfers of the past week in this vicinity may be noticed the sale by E. E. Boynton, Waukegan, for M. W. Boynton, Highland Park, to A.

Twice he won races of a couple of miles each, and upon another occaston was victorious ata mile and three-quarters. ‘Those who huve seen him at New- market describe Fulsetto as a good-looking horse, and thore ls no fault to be found with his breeding, for he is a son of Enquirer (by Lenmington, aut of ida, by Lexington), and he left the land of his birth With the churacter.of belng able tu makes most hon- orable record in England. Of course, Fulsetto muy be a gem of the tirst water, but Itcunnut be sald thiit the gentleman who had the work of assigning him a weight was not impressed with the notion of his being a £00d horve, and {f Falsctto should win the City and Suburban with 14 pounds on his 4-year-old buck, why then he will have achieved a really **honorable rec- ord.” ‘His owner is accounted as n good Judve of rac- ing, and he has not falled to nominate Falsetto for *no'end of the important prizes which closed xt the deplaning of the year, and when a gentleman puts an animal in a lot of races, itis safe to: presume that od one to. represent him.

A well-dressed lady called at a carpet-ware- house and asked to Took at some carpets. The Were shown, every pattern in, the shop eing spread out for examination, Afver look- ing nt everything about the place, and driving some very close bargains in the mutter of price, the lady selected # carpet for each room in her house, running up a bill: which filled the salcs- man's heart with joy. When all was completed, he asked where the carpets were to be sent. The lady replied, without hesitation, that, she would call and let him know. |‘ You see,” she | added, “any husband has just bought a piece of ground, and talks of soon building a house on it. If he does, you know, I shall want some new carpets, and then I will call and order these.’ pluy upon which his reputation ag 2 writer has been established. In our notice the other day of “ My Partner,” we particularly dwelt upon the skillful weaving of the two first acts, the continuity of inci- dent, the strength, aptness, the fine com- edy - and wholesome sentiment of the dialog, and, remembering Mr. Campbell's methods, we doubted if he bad ever written the first part of this play. At avy rate we were‘ in- clined to believe that previous to its production @ more skillful playwright than Bartley had touched itup. Mr. Aldrich, however, assures us that the two first acts are precisely a3 they lett Campbell's hands. Scarcely a word has been changed. From the original manuscript,.how- ever, several slight alterations have been made in the last two ucts. But they were made by the author himself. “ My Partner” is a strong American drama,— one of the strongest ever written. While it is not 80 picturesque as ** The Danites,” it isa far more truthful reflection of the life bothen- deavor to depict, and there is in it more orig- inality. We believe that the situation at the end of the second act is original, where Joe, after having quarreled with Ned, leaves him, and re- turns repentant to find the latter dead. The modern drama does not afford a more effective scene, and few writers could so delicately handle itus has the author. The charucterizations are strong andnumerous, but tho notable traceries are those of Mag. Bi foe Saunders, Mary Brandon, Ned Singleton, Posie Pentland, and Jo- siah Scragys. The pictorial charm of a piece is something always at the command. of an enterprising munager, Haverly hag done as much as possible for the play ip the way of setting. There are three sets for the four acts, the last two beingin one. The first act occurs in view of Mount Shasta and at the door of the Golden Gate Hotel, the second in the rough cabin of the partners, and the third in the purlors of the Golden Gate Hotol. Every set is well devised and free from the overelabora- tlon—particularly the parlor scenes—which we ure apt to see, - But the setting in the play of “ My Partner” is merely an eapanot, as it Prop- erly should be: its success made by the dramatist and by the actors. Few actors could play the part of Joe Saunders miore successfully than Mr. Louis Aidrich. The character as assumed seems as if it were lifted from the actual life as it is in the primitive set- tlements of the Far West. There is an air of rough, open-hearted honesty about the man which takes hold of the sympathies of his au- ima favorit. He dionce, and at once makes in the passionate earnest, often intense, scenes, and in tho pathetic ones tender and touching. Fault might he found with. him in’ the t act, where, in bird the scene with Scraggs, he is inclined to be too loud. But then’ we must remember that Joc Saunders ig n strong man with strong feelings, and unused to the restraints which g° more con- ventional character should feel. In the scene. with Ned, where he tells him, with forced deter- mination ‘in his tones that they must phrt, and where with his knife be divides the gold, the innate nobility of the man is conveyed by touches as delicate as _ those given’in a similar incident in “The-Danites,”— that where tho Parion leaves the cabin of Sandy. ‘And when Joe returns and dolivers the repent- ant speech to his dead partner, and finally dis- covers that Ned, in his absence, has been mur- dered, the manly picading, the anxious look as he stretches out his hand for Ned to shake, and the expression of horror as he discovers the crime, ure efforts worthy of all praise. Ono of the best-drawn characters in. the play, and ono of the most artistic personations, is that of Maj. Britt, x local politician. Mr. Frank Mordaunt assumes it. Ho is one of those genial ‘Ralitieal swindlers who revel in their own dishonesty, Britt, vulgar and unbeara- bie’ as he is in duily life, is, like Bardwell Slote, invested with an ineffable good nature which charms the observer. His egotistical allusions to himself in the midst of his oratorical flights und his confidential advice to his constituents are accompanied by a merry twinkle or a movement of the head, and the satire of tho réle isut once seen. In his lines there is no everlasting gag, generally found in the American comic personations.. His situn- tions are always ecause the actor makes them. In the third act his. scene with the tart old maid is indescribably funny. His peculiar roll of tho ‘eyes, the self-complacency with which be strokes his chin, his smiles, suddenly checked at full hight, his eccentric- inflections of voice, his grotesque attitudes, and his sudden and serious and tender contemplation of the spinster when she hints at her “great ex- pectations,” make the audience scream with merriment.. Miss Dora Goldthwaite, in the rdle of Mary, shows to advantage, inasmuch as she receives the sympathies of the house in’ a part that might ensily be made repulsive by a Iess accom- plished actress. Her entreaty to Nel in the cabin is instinct with womanly fécling, and so is her acting in the first great situation of the play, when Joe discovers that Mary and his artner are lovers; but there is a hurry and a lack of method in ber acting during the latter scenes of the third act, which mars the entire assumption. The vucillating but well-meaning Ned is in thoroughly competent hands. Mr. Henry Crisp plays the part. -It used to be suid that Clara Morris was in the habit of visiting hospitals in order to reproduce the agony of the modern drama with greater truth. Henry Crisp, we fancy, bas been going the rounds of the dead-houses, for when Jve lifts the head of Ned. from the table we see a face upon which death has set its seal, horrible in its realism, Miss Laura Thorpe plays the role of Grace, a slight churacter, with simple ice, and Mr. Walter Leunox, Jr., us her lover, Sam, gives A clever comedy interpretation. Mr. J. W. Hague’s villain is acreditable piece of work. Scriggs is the name of this incurnation of hu- inility and murder,—a rather common-pince vil- Jain, perbups, but one who unswers the. purpose of the nuthor exceedingly well. Mathew Bran- don, the father of the two girls. is one of the charms of the play. The part is allotted to Mr. A. D. Billings. It is an honest, gentlemanly bit of acting, well conceived, and well executed. The Chinaman is assumed by Mr. C. 'T. Parsloe, who has carned a well-merited reputation in. this line of character. Anglo-Chinese fun requires to be. dealt out very sparingly. ‘There is in the present play perhaps a trifle too much of it. There is une character which we havenot yet alluded to,—that of the spinster housekeeper, Posie, which Miss Josephine Lau- rens renders fvith tact and judgment. “ My Partner,” as a whole, {s not 2 cisappoint- ment, but an agreeable surprise to the analyzer, a gratification to the auditor, and a source of protit to whoever owns the copyright. It pos- seases literary merit of a certain kind, {ts senti- ment is wholesome, its epigrams ure bright, and its humor unforced. Its situitions show a de- cided dramatic originality, and are skilifully reached, and, although the ability displayed in the earlior acts may not be equally manifest in the later ones, the piece must be pronounced a decided acquisition to American dramatio Jit- erature. B EDWARD ASKEW SOTHERN. Apropos of E. A. Sothern, that excellent comedian and incurable fareeur, who during the week has been playing at Hooley’s, we notice ‘that his former home of Cedar Villa, Kensing- ton; London, and later the residence of Mon- seigneur Capel, the famous proselytizer, is about to be auctioned off. The news reached ‘tho comedian during the week, and we have it upon the authority of Harry Wall. that Sothern has cabled his desire to buy itin. An article in a recent issue of the London Dafly News upon tho | lated. The ager, however, miscalculated his man, for yesterday morning he was astonished to re- ceive a telegram from the virtuous Band- mann saying that, unless he was ar anteed $150 for the night's performunce, he would not come on. Hoechster evidently didn't think his Hanuet worth 150 cents, for even in his extremity he wouldn't accede to the demand, but sent buck word that unless he (the upright Band- mann) fulfilled his contract he (the hoodwinked ‘Mr. Hoechster) would suehim. ‘Thereupon Herr Bandmann sent back word that he had scratched his leg, or broken his toenail, or was troubled with the toothache, or something of that sort, and that he couldn't play. Whether Mr. Hoech- Ster will get him here by this evening is exceed- ingly doubtful. When the little manager was last seen he was in a condition of despair, LOCAL NOTES.
