Bruce, of, Lexington, Ky., writes: “I heartily approve of your trotting program, and believe you have struck the keynote of success in making stakes instead of purses. I shall most cheerfully advocate your new departure, and believe it will be of the greatest benefit to the trotting turf if xeneraily adopted.” Mr. B. H. Brodhead, of Milwaukee. says: “1am much pleased with it, and think it will take well with trotting associations generally, and with the public and horsemen.” R. C. Pate, of St. Louis: * Lreceived a paper containing “gotice of your new departure, and think it just the thing." ‘The following explains itself : To te Directors of the Chicago Jockey and-Trotting Club: We, the undersi¢ned members of the Chicazo Jockey and Trot:ing Club, have noticed with pleasure your new devurture in ‘reference to the manner in which you propose Ww give your trotting meetings. 1tis with pleasure that we indorse your uction, be- Neving that by giving stake Instead of purse mces it will put ry iting meetings ona pur with running meet- ings, and thereby do away with any incentive to fraud on,the part of owners or drivers, und we beileve it is the proper course tu pursue in order to gain the con- lence of the community.

Conklin, of Greenpoint, Long Island, who bred Rarus, and owned him until the sale to Mr. Bonner, is now visiting friends in Michigan, but will visit Chicago during the present week. There are a number of trotters at the Jockey Club track, and some of them have already been foolishly given a taste of fast work. By the time the money is ready to ve trotted for the Mzrehb tyers will be of no account. Col. Dutcher, a Minnesota trotter that showed & tial in 223 over the .Chicago tick early last season, but was prevented from making the cainpaign by reason of hitting himself, will be driven this season by Frank Van Ness. Charley Ford and Bonesetter: are receiving regular jogging and prepuration for their match race, which occurs June 5. Both horses are jooking well, ulthough Bonesetter is a little beavier-than be was at this time lust year, and Ford's hind-{egs still bear evidences of the -use- Jesly severe blistering received by them early in the winter. Graves & Loomis, of this elty, will soon place in training a number of trotters, among them several stallions. The lot includes King of the West, gray stallion, by Legal-Tender, dam Queen of the West; Dashwood, lack Bassinger, Clementine Jr., Lizzie L., Banner Chief, and Western. All except Lizzie L. and Clementine Jr. ure stallions by Legal-Tender. Western and Black Bussinger are full brothers, cual black, and will probably be driven to the pole by Mr. raves, Mr. B. H. Cross. the celebrated animal painter, who has been spending the winter in Chicago, lett afew days ago for his home in New York. Mr. Cross wiil soon sail tor Europe to execute several commissions, among them being a pleture of Purvle—lfe-size—for the owner of the horse, Mr. Pierre Lorillard. Dur- ing his stay in Chicago Mr. Cross completed pictures of some of the noted trotters an ity, and in no instance did his work fail to give perfect satisfaction. Frank Van Ness has returned from Tennessee, whither he went about three weeks ugo. bring- ing with him a gelding and tilly by Bonesetter, of which he thinkshighly. The gelding is called Dr, Bob, and is out of 2 mare by Harder, u fast suddle stallion. The filly is Gladys, and her dam was by Lud. Bonesetter colts and-tllies ure in rreut demand since the wonderful performances just Season of Mr. Bemis" stallion, aud Van Ness found one man so enthusiustic on the subject tbat he had secured sixteen of the shite-faccd stallion’s get, in which he is sure of u fertune, according to his calculation. The chestnut gelding Neome, record 2:24, will be driven this year by Frank Van Ness. Neome is a Michigan horze, and was driven successively by Peter V. Johnson and “Nosey” Brown, neither of whom was able to_do anything with him in the way of winning. During the latter Part of 167 be was taken in change by William Delaney, and won a very _creditable race at Milwaukee Aug. 29, beating Bonesetter, Woodford Mambrino, Dakota Maid, Foxle V.. and Darby, in 2:24, 2:26, 2:%4,—a victory that would make any horse stand well in the estima- un of turfmen. Lust year Neome was tired in one of his legs and turned out, but is now all right, and should be a dangerous customer in the 2:24 class. Jere Dunn will bare in his stable this season the chestout gelding Crockett, record 2:3144, that created such a sensation in Texas three winters ugo by beating some good horses that came trom the North. He was then considered by his owner. to be the superior of anything on the turf, and came North in the summer of 1877 to beat the world, in which leudable undertaking he wus not very successful, being sixth horse in his race at Chicago, July _18, fifth at Sycamore, July 27, ‘and vighth at Freeport, Aug.2. On July 4, at Quincey, he beat Amboy, Billy Monroe, and Frank, no time being given. Crockett isn c verted peers and bas plenty of speed, but unsteadiness, the result of bad bundling, hitherto kept him from showing at his best. ‘The tickets of the Central Park Driving Asso- ciation for 1880 are now reads, and ein De ob- tained of either member of the Buard of Direct- ors or of the Secretary.

The Sixteenth Ward Democrats met last evening ut No. 53 Clybourn avenue, Mr. A.C. Storey in the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose ot indorsing the Republican “nominee for Alderman, as the two parties: had ed to unite and defeat the Social- ist’s candidate. Mr. James Ennis surprised those present by muking «a motion to the effect that the Democrats ignore the Republican purty and place a Democratic nom- ince in the field. Mr. Ennis made a strong gpeech in fuyor of his motion, expressing a be- lief that the Democrats would carry the. ward. Atier remarks by several present, the motion was put and carried bya large majority. Mr. Nick Gurdon was tken placed in nomination, | but he stated that he was not yet ready to ac cept.

SECOND WARD. ‘There was a meeting in the Second Ward last veni 133 ‘Third avenue, which had Virtually a; ey ge at No. st strange features. It was cumposed large- ly of the ritf-raff of both parties, and its object wWas to stir up dissension in the Republican party. by nominating a Republican—Mr. Bigelow—to run :gninst H. S. Billings, the Club nominee for Alderman. Mr. Bigelow had gotten up the gatheriug,and some say that Ald Sanders helped him, and did the tinancial part of the work, his purpose being 2 seltish one. But, be this as it muy, the meeting was a disgraceful affair, and the few respectable persons present were heart- ily ashnmed of the company they were found in. It was nearer 2 mob than 2 et ing of citizens, but, «at the end ofaseries of speeches, its purpose was carried out in the nomination of Mr. Bigelow for Alder- man by 2 rather close vote. Atter the adjourn- ment the nominee attempted to form some sort of an orzunization looking to forwarding his in- terests, but he made u Iumentuble failure of it, finding himself surrounded by less than hulf u dozen persons whose reputation for political in- tegrity is not the best. Ald. Sanders will have to do better next time. ELEVENTH WARD. Mr. T. M. Bond seems to meet with little or no opposiuon in his candidacy for Alderman of the Eleventh Ward.

These men were C. R. Larrabee and John O'Neill. Both were excellent m But the Committee thought that Mr. O'Neill would make the most available candidate and would bring out a full Republican vote. The Committee also recommended that the Club se- igct u exndidate to be voted for at the primaries next Friday. On motion of Mr. Samuel Collier, the Club pro- ceeded to nominate a candidate for Alderman of the ward. Mr. Collier nominated Mr. C. R. Larrabee. Mr. Elfott’ aAuthony nominated Mr. John O'Neill. Messrs. H. H. Thomes and Washing- ton Hesing seconded the nomination of Mr. O'Neill on the ground that be was the only available candidate that could be elected by the Republicans. Mr. E. F. Cragin seconded the nomination of Mr. Larrabee because be does not. seek the uum- ination. No better man could be selected, and he would be a credit to the wurd. He would carry the best elements of both parcies. A baliot was then taken, which resulted in the nomination of Mr. John O'Neill, who received 33 votes aginst 44 for Mr. Larrabee. after. transacting some business of minor im- portaiice au adjournment was had.

A long talk ensned, many being in favor of the Club indorsing one of the live, though there was considerable opposition to the proposition.

It is the death of ten little children,—seyen in one family and three in the other,—all in rapid succession, by that terrible enemy of children, diphtheria. The familics thus broken up are Jonn L.

The disease was utterly un- manageable, and even the little sufferers, when first attacked, appeared to be conscious that death was approaching. A very tender sceno occurred before these first five had passed away. fharley was dying, with bis little sister Tulle lying close by; Julia saw that her little brother was ee his end, when she said: “Mamma, I would rather go with brothers and sisters, but what will you and papa do?” In a short time thereafter she was dead. Five of the children having thus been swept away, the parents had two remaining,—Frankie, the babe, aged 2 years, and Martin, aged 6,— but they had not long to dote on their presence, Ina day or two they were also stricken down. Martin lay in the bed and Frankie in the cradie nearby, The baby was slowly breathing away its life when an effort was made to shut out the dresscoat, and with detined swallow tails in the pack.
