A Disgraceful Act, Which Even the English Papers Con- demn. Old-Time Trotting Meetings in Chicago, and the Horses That Took Part in Them. Some Facts About the Stallion Race Here Next July—Track Talk, Etc. m4 STOLEN VICTORY. ‘The row over the disqualification of Parole for the Liverpool Cup, and the awarding of the race to Advance on account of an alleged. foul by the American horse, is just begin- ning to get interesting. When the news was cabled across the water that, although Mr. Lorillard’s horse finished first, he had been placed Jast for foul riding, not a question was raised as to the correctness of the. de- cision, it being supposed that the ancient Jegend about the fairness of the English in regard to horse-racing possessed some ele- ments of truth. But itseems that fault, and avery large amount of it, has been found with the judge in disqualifying Parole, and the subsequent sustaining of his action by the stewards of the meeting, several of whom were Lords, wliile others belonged to the gentry. In order to fully understand the matter it should be borne in mind that Pa- role was entered in the Lincolnshire Handi- cap, run at Lincoln two days previous to the Liverpool Cup, and, although carrying the top weight, he was so well thought of by the public that at all times the odds offered against his winning were small, and after the scratching of Robbie Burns he became first favorit. The disgust of those who backed him may be imagined when two days before the race the horse was scratched. As book-betting is pay or play, the money put on Parole by the public was lost, and when a favorit is declared out of an important event so short a time before it is toberun there isalwaysa vast amount of ugly talk that cannot be quieted. At the time of Parole’s withdrawal front the Lin- conshire the story was actively circulated that, with the respective weights they were tocarry in the race up, Wallenstein had beaten the old horse easily. This news had the effect of putting alot of money on Wal- Jenstein, and as the story of the alleged trial Was promptly ‘cabled to this country it had the same effect here. When it came to run- ning the race, instead of talking about trials, Wallenstein was nowhere. Immediately after the scratching of Parole he was sent to Liverpool to run for the Cup, a proceeding that was freely commented upon at the time by the English press as being !a very strange one, since the lot that would start for the Liverpool Cup was certain to be superior to that pulled out for the Lincolnshire; and, if Parole was so hopelesly overweighted in the latter race as to necessitate his seratching, it was folly to suppose that he could take up seven pounds more at Liverpool and win. But it was soon seen that the stable was backing the brown gelding quite well, and the public money of course soon followed, the result being that when the race was started It was With the American gelding ziled choice, the odds against hin being 10 From the London sporting papers which reached this city vesterday some very inter- esting facts in relation to how the race was Tunare obtained. Allofthem devote more or less attention to the alleged foul; but it seems that the story cabled to this country on e day of the race, that the trouble was caused by Paroleswerving directly across Ad- yauce just as Archer was endeavoring to send the last-named horse between the American aud the rails, was not true. This anation Was at once accepted by the New Yo port- ing papers, all of them “tai a how Parole had often done the same thing in this country. 1t now appears that nothing of the kiad occurred, and that the slight swerve iade by Parole interfered in no way with the other horses, the only result being to de- crease his own chances of winning, since the distance he had to min in order to pass the Winning post was increased by the swerving. Perhaps the most critical account of the race is that found in the Sportsman, which paper, it will be noticed, speaks significantly of the Lincolnshire scratch! as follows: Agood deal of money—we believe the stable commission amounted to £600—was invested on Purole, who lert off third in demand, and at ten to one Gilderoy, a Munton cast-off, Strathblane, Emperor Titus, and Humbert, the last-named of which quartet looked somewhat above himself, were more or less fancied by their several con- nections. Strathblane made the pace very warm, a8 muy be understood when it is explained that be cuine into the straight with a Iead of at leust -dozen lengths. In the line for home, his advantage was rapidly decreased, gcaught inside the distunce by Parole and Advince, he could get no nearer thio third, the American winning, with something to spare, by half ajength. On returning to scale Archer, who rode udvunce, lodged an objection to the winner on the ground of a cross, and no doubt there was just rooia for the protest, ay no one who saw the race in the last 3H yards would deny that Parole did not come the nearest way home. Thut there was not sullicient interference, however, to have alterea the result was the general opiuion, in proof of which we need only to mention that us much as 4101 was luidin the ring on the winner get- ung the race. The matter was at once investi- guted by the stewards, who must bave heurd strong evidence, of which we cannot even guess the purport, for their award in fuvorof Advance was received with a cheer which contrasted in a marked degree with the éminous silence which bud grected the success ofthe American. From what we could see of the business we should certainly not have dreamt of the ultimate re- sult, as for some tinie past we have been necus- tomed to the frequent recurreuce of such inci- dents, which, though constituting decidedly foul ridinzibave been permitted to puss by unheeded. Still we cannot but feel that the decision of the stewards is Ukely to huve 2 beneficial result upon the welfare of the turf, as it will afford a warning to jockeys whose’ custom it is not to depend solely upon the merits of their horses when it becomes a close struggle for supremacy. One of the most surprising feutures in connection with the race was how, in 1uce of the extraordinary trial which previous tothe Lincolnshire Handicap showed Wallen: Stein to be within at most twenty-one pounds of Purvle, the latter could nave been so frecly backed to-day, for the form of the 3-yeur-old on Wednesday was simply wretched, ‘though be showed pace for a short distance. The popular n—-and there are excellent grounds for that bad Parole run in the Lincoln- -shire Handicap he would have won easily. It was bud policy to send the horse to Lincoln and atter all not to run bim, and the probability is thatdn future greater difhculty than ever will xperieuced in backing him for any event as the next in which he is eugaged. We refer to the City and Suburban, in which, of course, he esca # penalty now that he has been disqualified for the cup he won so cleverly . His form_is once more thoroughly ex- ysed, and the public ure nlway's fully alive to PD the ability of 2 thoroughly horse like the son of Leamington, who, despite t amouzt of his beavy impost, will take a shiking ‘off in the Epsom race next month; while, on the other hand, Advunce's chunce is ultogcther extinguished by a pennity of ten pounds, It is hardly necessary to quote from the other papers, as they all take the same ground: that advantage was taken of a technicality to defraud the winning horse out of the race, and that the very sharp skin- ning given the American gelding and his backers, although perhaps justified by the Jeiter of the law, was not by its spirit, That the spirit of unfairness manifested will be remembered in this coantry for a long time there ean be no_ doubt, and hereafter Aimeri- “un tirfmen will be. careful about entering their horses in English races if it is under- siood that no pains will be spared by the judges and stewards to prevent their win- ning. Bell’s Life ven truthfully remarks that “ Bitter things will doubtless be said of this decision on the other side of the Atlanti put scarcely more bitter than was indulged in this afternoon by those. who had bucked Parole for the Lincolnshire.” races EARLY CHICAGO TROTTING. Througirthe courtesy of Mr. James Boyle, of this eity, Who has been connected with the trotting turf for many years, Tue Ts UNE has been furnished with a program of one of the early trotting meetings in Chicago, it having been held atthe old “ cinder track” on State street. Although the meeting lasted five days it will be noticed ‘that nearly every event was made in relation to distance or manner of going, and not, as now, with re- gard tothe classes in which the horses be- longed by virtue of their records. The vari- ety displayed inthis program is a feature that Associations would do well to pay more attention to at the present day, every race being mile heats, in harness. It will be noticed that Cooley, who- was then- undoubtedly the best horse in the West, was entered.in a race every day, four of them being in harness and oneto wagon. The old horse is still in this city, and, although 20 years of age, is fat and hearty. He is the 6nly one of the lot that ever attained any particular prominence, al- though Naboelish, Lily. Simpson, gady Walker, Finecut, Gen. Grant, and Blac Diamond were considered good ones in their day. Of the owners of these horses the ma- jority are still alive. Messrs. Conlisk, Crooks joyle, Hastings, and Mansur are residents of Chicago. William Hodges made his home here up to the time of his death, which oc- curred two years ago, while he was visiting in Texas. The program is as follows: FIRST DAY.

THE CHICAGO STALLION RACE. , That the Chicago trotting meeting next July will be the most successful affair of its kind ever attempted there does not appear to be a doubt, at least so far as getting together large fields of first-class horses is concerned. The stake system adopted and projected by the Club is meeting with universal approval, and so loudly has the popular voice pro- claimed in its favor that the Associations at Milwaukee and Minneapolis have already. decided to follow in the path marked out by Chicago and putall the races at their meetings in the formofstakes. Of the events to be de- cided here next July, the one thatis at present exciting the most attention is the stake named in honor of Dunton’s Spirit, open to all stallions. Stallion races have always been popular, and the one projected by Chi- cago will doubtless eclipse anything in that line that has yet been attempted. Of the horses that would be likely to enter in case everything went well with them, the most prominent are the following, their records being given for convenience in the future, when the entries to. this raco shall have closed: Hambletonian Mambrino Haubrino .. Abbotsford.. ‘Von Arnim. Chestnut Hi Wedgewood. Brigadic: Monroe Chief, The first two, and the ones with the fastest records, are in California, and_ it is doubtful if either of them come Eastthis year. Santa Claus was driven last season by Orrin liickok, the man who sat behind St. Julien when that horse trotted the fastest mile on record,—2:1237,—and it was his intention to bring the G-year-old son of Strathmore East incompany with St. Julien. Letters from California, received a few days since by par- ties in‘this city, contain the disagreeable news that not lous ago Santa Claus strained himself so severely across the back and loins that it is doubtful if he ever recovers, and he certainly, will nob be | in shape to trot this year, Nutwood is owned and driven by Mr. Kuox, who has said he will not come across the plains with him, and Brigadier, another California représentative, will also stay at home. He rough the Michigon and Grand tits Jast year, winning a_five- it Hilt and Central heat race at Buffalo from Ches: others, acyuiring his record of 2:23}5 in the third ‘heat of that-race. The three Cali- fornians may, therefore. be considered out of e race. Indianapolis relegated to stud duty last season, but, as he is owned by Col. H.'S. “Russell, of Boston, a man who likes to trot his horses in just such races as-.the one ofrered at Chicago, it is possible that the brown stallion -may again be placed _in training. He is by tler, the sire of Voltaire, but is not re- garded as a particularly game horse by those who have seen him trot... Gen, Grant, who eame prominently into notice in 1876, when under the skillful guidance of Peter V. Johnson he performed the remarkable featot winning the races in which he was engaged at Chicago, Cleveland, Butialo, and Rochester, —five successive victories which would hayé done credit to any horse,—may trot again this season. His record of 3:21 was obtained in the fifth heat of his race in 18 at Rochester, he beating out Marion by a head only. When right, he is very fast, reliable, and dead gume. Since 1876 he has been ott turf, owing to “aleg,” but the injured inember’ now oems to be allright. He is owned by the Stevens Bros., of. Joliet, Ill. Scott’s Thomas’ was a good horse in 1878, at which time G. J. Fuller, of Nashville, ha him in charge, but, since then he has not seemed to possess his old-time speed. Last year hjs eyesight began to fail, and he is now nearly blind. His t race was in Cleve- land, in 1878, when he beat Indianapolis, who won’ the second and fourth heats; G. W. Woolley winner of the third heat; Col. Dawes, Bay.Dick, Up and Up, and Gumball, the time being 2:299/, 2:21, 2:2544, 2:21, 2:212¢, 2:04)/, He is now owned by Mr. R. 6. Merserau, of this city, but whether or not that gentleman will trot himis not known. Voltaire is too well known to need more than a mention. Previous to last season he was.a very successful: horse, but last year a change of drivers was ‘followed by defea' the horse being plainly out of condition on ai least two occasions when he was started in important races. He was recently purchased by Col. John W. Conley, of this city, and will be driven by W. H, Crawford, He will bein the stallion race here unless some accident prevents. : Hambletonian Mambrino was a good horse in 1878, but of no account last year. His driver has peen changed, W. H. Doble, Sr., of Philadelphia, being now in charge of him, and he will probably come after the money otfered at Chicago. He is by Curtis’ Hamble- tonian, and bred to stay. Hambrino, is owned in Indianapolis, and trotted some good races last year, reducing his record from 2:27 to 2:213¢. He is very speedy, but, being by Edward Everett, is re- arded by those who go more on pedigrees han performances as being liable to quit if tov_hotly pressed. He will certainly come to Chicago. zs : Abbottsford is owned in California, is a son of Woodford Mambrino, and got his record in 1873 as a G-year-old. He will not come East. ‘Von Arnim is a G-year-old horse that came out last year and trotted some good races, his fastest performance being at Louisville in'the 5-year-old race, where he won the first heat in 3:22, the next three and race: being taken by_the- wonderful 4-year-old filly Trinket. He has been placed in the stud, and will not trot this year. Chestnut Hill was owned in Canada Inst year, and proved himself to be one of the best young stallions in the country. In the fall he was sold for $7,000 to a New York gentleman, who has since used him on the road, The probable starters, therefore, will be Bonesetter, Hannis, Voltaire, Hambletonian, Mambrino, Hambrino, Wedgwood, and Mon- roe Chief. Four of these—Bonesetter, Vol- taire, Wedgwood, and Monroe Chief—are owned in Chicago, and, should Mr. Bemis’ blaze-faced stallion fail through any cause to add another victory to his already Jong list, one of the other three should be able to capture the event over which there will be so much excitement. eat TRACK-TALK. The regular monthly meeting of the Jockey and Trotting Club Directors will be held to- morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. “ Brother Jonathan,” write to the editor of the Nationul Live-Stock Journal, Lake- side Building, Chicago, for the information you seek. ‘The Tivoli pool-room reports that Kimball is first favorit for the Kentucky Derby, Luke Blackburn, Fonso, and Bowling Green being next in order. Midnight, record 2:18, and the reputation of being the worst quitter on the turf, is be- ing jogged ten milesa day. He will be driven this season by Dan Mace, James Gordon Benneti’s colors on the En- glish turf are violet and orange stripes, with violet cap. Ile is now the owner of two steeple-chasers,—Muscadin and Latchkey, both first-class performers; Dayton, O., gives a trotting meeting May 26 to 2s, purses being offered for horses of the three minute, 2:50, 2:40, 2:30, and 2:23 classes. A free for all pacing purse of $500 (Sleepy ‘Tom barred) is also on the program. . Sciola, the mare that won such creditable races at Cincinnati_and_ Lexington last fall, was wintered at New Philadelphia, 0., but was shipped last week to Galesburg, L., the home of William Saunders, her driver. , Judge Fullerton, record 2:18, recently sold at auction in New York for $3,000, will be trained again this season, and driven by Dan Mace. ‘The Judge is very fast for the first half mile, but slows up a good deal coming home. Gen. Abe Buford says that his 3-year-old colt Ranmveau, by Enquirer, will sweep everytning before him this season, but, in spite of this startling prediction, the odds are suill 12 to 1 against him: in the Kentucky Derby. : In arecent issue of the Turf, Fleld, and Farm appeared a lying and scurrilous at- tack upon Mr. H. H. Cross, the well-known animal painter. The facts are that Mr, Cross xecuted a large number of commissions while in this cixy, and in, every instance his work was more than satisfactory. W. H. Crawford left last night for Phila- delphia, whera he will attend to the prepara- tion of Lew Scott, Voltaire, and Sleepy George, the pacer, all of whom will be in his stable this season. Lew Scott has wintered well, and may take a hand in the next go-as- ‘you-please contest for the Astley belt. 5 The Spirit of the Times says of Wallen- stein: “We have always regarded him asa Sunday horse, capable of doing a brilliant thing occasionally, but a most irregular and unreliable performer. He will, as he has just done in the Lincolashire, more frequent- ly disgust his followers than reward their confidence. Had he been half the horse he las been represented by many in this country and England, he should have won his first Tace across the water hands down.” Deck Wright, the Cincinnati_skipjack, has been placed in the hands of W. W. Bair_for training, thereby depriving John Biggs ofthe only horse he had last year after Proteine down. This mare is running out at nnati, and is believed to be hopelesly red. In addition to Deck Wright, Bair will have Maude S., the mare thas trotted a mile in 2:1724 at Lexington in 1878 us 2.4-year- She was then purchased for $21,000 by Mr, W. H. Vanderbilt, but was not worked last year. Lucy, one of the gieat pacing quartet, is at Philadelphia, where she was wintered by Mike Goodin. She was fited in both hind legs last fall, and her ankles have sunk back into a natural position, a fact which encour- ages her owner, Mr. Sam Keyes, to think that she will reduce her present record of. 2:15 several seconds this season. Of the other pacers, Mattie Hunter is at Madison, Ind., where Joe Rea is jogging her; Sleepy "bom i$ at Xenia, O., the home of his driver, Steve Phillips, and Rowdy Boy aud Charley Forth are in Indiana. “Every Horse-Owner’s Cyclopedia,” one 4 of the most valuable works concerning the horse that has ever been written, is out for the present year ina revised form. It is a handsomely bound book of nearly 700 pages, and contains full and accurate information concerning the anatomy and physiology of the horse; the principles of breeding; direec- tions as to raising and breaking colts; riding, driving, stable-nanagement, ete. ; a full, list of the diseases to which the horse is subject, with directions regarding their treatment; suggestions as to the breeding and training of the trotting-horse; a history of the trotting- turf, with tables of trotting and pacing per- formances, 2 ulated list of all horses that have trotted in2:25 or better from the earliest times upto Jan, 1, 1880; and the best per- fermances at various distances on the run- ning-turf, Each department of the work w: prepared by a person peculiarly qualified for the task, and the result isa vast amount of valuable information, presented in areadable tor, The Encyclopedia is published by Porter & Coates, Philadelphia, and_ their agent in Chicago will iill orders for thé book.

Before becoming renowned as one of the most celebrated violinists of Europe, Eugene v. struggled hard and endured many priva- tions, Arriving in Paris with but few re- sources, he did not hesitate, in order to earn a living, to play at the cachet, or at the balls f the “Petit Tonneau.” This latter was a urious establishment, but not lacking in the picturesque, It was not unusual at the “Petit Ton- neau” fora waltz or polka to be interrupt- d by a quarrel engendered by the most trifling cause; when immediately “stools, benches, wine-holders, glasses, and every- thing that could be handled, were thrown around im all directions. took refuge under their desks while await- ing the end of the mélée, which was gener- The musicians iy effected by the entrance of the patrol, who marched the most refractory belliger- uts off to the poste. Theorchestra resumed its place as soon as the effervescence’ was a little calmed, when quadrilles and dances of all descriptions again commenced and con- tinued until nearly the break of day. The violinist, now well known in the mu- ical world, lately gave a piquant description ofthis noisy temple of Terpsichore, in ad- dition to some mournful details connected With one of the most aristocratic families of France: “Tt can readily be imagined,” said the nar- rator, “that the ‘Petit Tonneau’ was not adorned with gilding or mirrors. Brilliant Justres were replaced by lamps, which filled the atmosphere with an intolerable odor; while clouds of dust, arising from the un- wept parquet during a disturbance, contrib- uted torender the hall unbearable. Never- theless, the attendance was never small, and, as to the orchestra, it bore its suiferings meekly. Was it not obliged to live? Every one of mycompanions in misfortune deserves aspecial study. They were five in number: . asecond violin, an alto, and a little flute. We ‘were frequently at fault regarding time, but our deafening clat- ter was all the dancers required, dnd. that sumed to establish our reputation as artists at the leader of the orchestra. Sometimes Iwas con- sulted,—my companions not hesitating to ac- knowledge my musical abilities as superior piston, a tambour, ‘Petit ‘Tonneau.’ There was no ‘o theirown. ‘You havea brilliant future before yon, young man,’ remarked the piston one day, in the voice of—a trombone; a pre- diction which I pretended afforded mea ereatdeal of happiness.

We will not follow our habitual course,’ he added. ‘have you de- ided to Aecompany me?? «*At this hour!? I exclaimed. «Come! come! do not refuse me.’ “ We were soon out of the poor quarters of the city and on our way to the Faubourg St. Germain. “It was February, but the weather was not so cold as ordinarily at that time. The heavens were clearand the moon was shining right. “We stopped before a palace resplendent s of lights, before which a long ine of carriages were waiting. Theoldinan, {ter examining the liveries, exclaimed: st was afraid we were too late.. They are still here, Let us approach.’ We placed our- selves under the porte-cochere. We werenot there long before the little finte seized me by the arm and dragged me acruss the street. “*Come,’ said he, in a voice tremulous with emotion. “Scarcely were we in the shadow, when a oung man appeared, with a beautiful girl attired in a magnificent toilet-de-bal, sparkling wit was also dres: wore decorations of several orders. ‘They made a signal, anda brilliant equipage drew diamonds. ‘Lhe young man «1 with extreme elegance, and ip before them.

He slipped under table, and did not*come forth till I roused him at the conclusion of the ball. “*T aun thirsty,’ were his first words. “*Let us go home,’ I answered. “*You will let ine drink something, sure- ly,’ muttered the little flute, and, despite my efforts, the old man escaped me.

Twelve Miles an Hour Fifty Years Ago. An Experimental Trip from Phil- adelphia to South Am- boy, N. J. Compared with the Express Trains of To-Day. Other Improvements of No Less Note. People Who Used to Laugh at the Idea of Wearing a Plaster Now Using Them. Itwas my good fortune some years ago—not quite fifty—to sit next to Gen. J. Watson Webb, the journalist, on the experimental trip of the train which came from Philadelphia to South Amboy, N.J. He seemed to be delighted with the speed of the engine which was dragging along those unique, old-fashioned cars on the then unsafe road-bed. Hesaid,in high glee: “This is something like traveling! Think of twelve miles an hour!” The breeze, the new scenery, the accompaniments generally, were inspiring. “No morestage-riding. Noday’s fa- tigue between New York and Philadelphia. No improvement could be made on this.’” A very few years ago I traveled with the same gentleman, just then returned from a forcign mission, between the same two cities. It took but two hours to make the trip. Irenewed my acquaintance with the General, and we laughed heartily at our enthusiasm of the long ago, and he said: “We thought that speed great, didn’t we? But the world has progressea since then.” = Progress has not been confined to railway avel. While raflroads were yet in their infancy, the India Rubber Porous Plaster made its appear- ance. It possessed qualities which were. then quite new ty the medical world, and sufficient merit to make it in time quite popular; but the time came whea it no longer satistied the public, because it was sluggish in its action,—days and weeks of constant wear often being req to bring relief. In answer to the public demand fora plaster which would act more promptiy and effectively, Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster made its ap- pearance. THE RAPID PLASTER. It contained the ingredients for rapid rellef, and was as farin advance of the old style of Plasters as the express trains of to-day are in advance of the old-fushioned stage-coach of our dfathers. They were used cautiously ut rst, but rapidly grew into favor, because they did their work éleanly, quickly, und thoroughly. Years have pasted, since then, and these Plasters have found a placein tens of thousands of houses both here and abroad. All clnsses use it, —people who were accustomed to use plasters, and people who used to laugh at tho very idea of wearing # plaster. Rheumatism, Lame Back, Kidney’ Complaints, Stubborn Coughs; nothing brings relief so quickly, nothing is so convenient as Benson's Capeine Porous Plaster. FINANCIAL.
