THE Trieune has kept its readers fully posted in regard to the facts surrounding the decision at Liverpool which disqualified Parole for the cup after he had won it fairly and easily, and the more the matter is looked into the more barefaced appears the fraud by which the hard-earned victory of the heavily- weighted American horse was taken from him, and those who had backed him robbed of the money they won. As has been shown by extracts from the leading English 'sport- iug papers, not one of them upholds the de- cision of the stewards, and some even g0 SO far as to mildly criticize the action of those ofticials, which is a good deal. The views of the London Times, Sportsman, and Bell’s Life were given in these columns last Sun- day, all of them saying that Parole won easily, and to-day another batch of evidence to the same effect is given. The Field, an. eminently conservative paper, Says: -At the Canal turn Strathblane was fully Le yards ahead of Othello, Emperor Titus, and Gild- ‘eroy, and in this way they came into the straight, ‘where Strathblane gradually came back. Atthe distance Advance crept up on the rails, with Pa- role in the centre of the course, while Othello and Gilderoy cuuld not go the pace. Half way up Advance tried to get through on the rails. but there was no room, and Archer hed to pull round both Strathblane and Parole. The Duke of Dronnares: borer poles & good ool ween peaten, which gave Parole a great a . and he had the'lead unchallenged. In the last Tew strides Advance tried to reach him, but, never getting on terms, was beaten easily by half a length. The Sporting Life’s account makes Parole’s victory a still easier one: So well did the feadee Se along that, on mak- ing the bend for home, he had all beaten but Advance and Parole.. Between this and the dis- tance he came back, and at this point Jeffery brought up Parole on the whiphand of Advance, who was at once in trouble, and Parole took 8 elear lead, but being easied in the last few strides, Advance, who came again on the out- side, was within half a length of the judge's chuir. Atthe scale an objection was lod; wguinst Parole on the ground of across. ‘This the stewards went into after the decision of the Formby Plate, and, after hearing the evidence as Lo a cross at the distance, disqualified Parole and awarded the race to Advance, an announce- ment most grateful to backers. Before the ob- jection was laid the victory of Parole, after the Tecent tactics in connection with the Lincoln- shire Handicap, had been most coldly received. Perhaps the best statement of the hurried manner in which the protest was considered in given in the Referee, which says: Second only in interest to the decision of the Grand National was the disqualification of Pa- role for the Liverpool Spring Cup. Inthe actual ace the American passed the post half a len; ahead of Advance, but on returning to scule Archer, who had the mount on Capt. Machell’s gelding, -Inid_an objection to Parole on the und that Jeffrey had intentionally crossed f= in a most important period of the struggle. the case was atonce discussed, and, after evi- fence had been taken, the Yankee was disquali- Ned and the stakes awarded toAdvance. I must say that I donot think Mr. Lorillard had justice done hin: in the matter, for neither he nor his trainer was present, consequently Jeffrey had to fight his battle single-handed. Surely suchanim- portant matter as this should not be discussed unless the principals are property represented. Again, it is hard lines on Jeffery that he should have to advocate his cause. with uli the heat and excitement of the actual contest comparatively ited. Some people say it looks strange for ‘unabat such a right-away rider as Archer entering a done on hig own protest when for once he e. With these remarks I have nothing to lo; still it does seem.strange. The statement «pf the rider of Advance 1s. totally at variance “witb that made by Jeffery, andI hear that the Jatter has the benefit of some support in the poets of one or two other jockeys who figured in the contest. Time after time have 1 drawn attention to the long delay that occasionally oc- curs with to important turf questions. ‘The more haste the less speed, and I think in this instance the decision was given in a far too hasty manner. It is not nice to reconsider a de- cision, but I think this is.one exception proves the rule. eB ‘Now that the Parole decision is creating so much excitement on both sides of the water, it is beginning to be understood that the stewards of English race meetings, even though they be selected from the best fami- lies of Great Britain, are not necessarily strictly honest, and that cases have hereto- fore occurred in which downright fraud has been resorted to in order that an unexpected outsider should not be permitted to defeat a favorit. The strongest point made in the cai Parole is the fact that allthe book- and hundreds of other people who were ina position to see just what the al- leged cross amounted to, were willing and anxious to Jay odds of 4 to 1 the complaint made by Archer, vider of Advance, would not be sustained. All the talk about the “evi- denee” taken by the judges is sheer non- se) since the occurrence complained of took place beneath their very noses. The “evidence” part of the business is evidently simply a convenient screen behind which to hide a deliberate fraud. Instead of waiting until Mr. uorillard’s agent could appear be- fore them on behalf of the horse’s owner and see that the case was properly presented, the stewards rushed things through in the shortest possible time, and decided the case ex parte, That similar robberies have oc- curred heretofore is shown by a correspond- ent of the New York Herald, who writes to that paper as follows: . ‘That stewards are not immaculate is a subject which needs no se! forth, us witness the de- cision at Newmarket last year when Confetti, an outsider, was disqualified for crossing Echo IL, ahot favorit. Echo II. was well beaten on his merits, and when Confetti did cross he had the race in hand and was well in front. The ridiculous decision at Kempton Park, when the stewards disqualified Caxtonian in favor of au- other fuvorit, Rogonan, is one of the most notorious cases in racing annals. Fortunately the case got before the Jockey Club on a ques- tion of interpretations of the law. and Caxtunian got the stakes. Still later we have the case of Annette at Bristol, in which it was clearly proved that the man had gone the wrong side of 4 post, both by the evidence of the jockeys and the actual footprints, yet Annette, Hirst past the post, got the stakes. It may be as well to say Annette was favorit—6 to 4 being laid on her. ‘A farce was made in allowing an appeal to the Grand National Hunt Committee, ana that body properly held it was a question of fact for the stewards alone to decide, and refused to inter- flere. COMING ENGLISH EVENTS, The next race in which the American horses are engaged is the Newmarket Handi- cap, to be run at the Newmarket course meeting next Wednesday. Parole, Falsetto, Boreas, Wallenstein, and Geraldine are nom- inated, but it is not probable that either of the last two will start, since the running of Wallenstein in the Lincolnshire Handicap, where he was disgracefully beaten after hav- ing defeatedParole in a trial, the result of which sent the brown gelding to Liverpool, Icaving Wallenstein to represent America at Lincoln, shows that he can be of but little account; and at last accounts Boreas had done nothing to justify the belief that he can beat good horses. “~he English opinion of Falsetto is shown by the fact that in this race he is handicapped at 129 pounds,—three pounds more than *xrole is asked to carry, and itis not prob- ple that he will bestarted, since it is foolish- 5 to expect a +year-old to give all the best aged horses in England lumps of weight nud then beat them. If Parole starts, and succeeds in distancing the entire field, he pay get the money, but hardly under other oat ieiday the Newmarket International ‘Handicap will be run, and in this Parole, Falsetto, Mistake, Sly Dance, Wallenstein, guid Pappoose are entered, Parole carrying 130 pounds and Falsetto 126. _ ‘Next week Tuesday (April'20) the Ameri- caus are engaged in the Great Surrey Hand cap, to be run at Epsom, the nominations be- 3nz Parole, Mistake, Sly Dance, ‘Wallenstein, again given the heaviest loa a carry bY On ie” following day comes the City and Suburban, a mile da quarter, which Parole won so gallantly ear. _Falsetto, Boreas, ‘Wallenstein, Geraldine, Mistake, Sly Dance, Pappoose, and Nereid are also entered, an fifty-tive others that have accepted the weights. Thisraceis really the most im- tant event of the Epson meeting, and the Betting ‘on the result is lively. Rosy Cross (winner of the Linconshire Handicap), Mas- ter Kildare, Westbourne, and Parole are the first four favorits, the odds being 9 tol against Rosy Cross and Master Kildare, and 100 to 7 against Westbourne and Parole. ‘Asa matter of convenience to its readers, TuE Tribune gives the acceptances in the races to be run during the present month in which the American horses are engaged.

Conley, of Chi- cago; and H. D. McKinney, of Janesville, Wis., are now paying a visit to Kentucky, and Col. Conley and Mr. Case have already made purchases of trotting stock from the Edge Hill Farm of Col. West, near George- town. The most notable acquisition made by Mr. Case to his already large stock of fiy- ers was the little bay 3-year-old filly Deceit, by Dictator, that promises to develop into one of the fastest trotters in the world. Last summer, this filly, with very little handling, trotted a half-mile in 1:153{, a quarter in 3644 secofids, and could undoubtedly have been driven a full mile in 2:30 or better. This is claiming a good deal, as the 2-year-old record of 2:31 made by So-So in 1877 has never been equaled, but Col. West offered to beat 2: with Deceit: last fall for a fixed sum, to be. paid in case the filly was successful. The dam of Deceit was little dun-colored pacing mare called Naomi, that obtained a record years ago of 2:34, being driven in most of her races by Matt Colvin, of Chicago, but her breeding has never been ascertained.- Deceit is certainly a prodigy, and can be seen daily in the meadows at Edge Hill, trotting us fast as other horses can run, and what imakes her speed inore re- markable is the fact that she is but a pony in size, being only fourteen hands high. Mr. Case also bought a black colt, 2 years old, by Dictator, out of the gray mare Midnight, by Pilot, Jr, her -dam ‘Iwilight, by Lexmgton, eic., her pedigree containing sixteen thor- oughbred crosses. Midnight was the dam of Noontide, a mare that in. 1878 obtained a + year-old record of 2:26, which was reduced Jast season to 2:24. He also bought a 2-year- old bay colt by Dictator, dam by American Clay (sire of Granville, Ella Clay, Maggie ix of whom | ton last fall in 2:23}, thereby acquiring. the st S-year-old record. beg i ‘Wilson, of Cynthiana, has bought Humboldt, a grandson of Clark Chief, from J. W. Smith, and will campaign him this year. Humboldt has ea record of 3:30, 0 when a 5-year-0 % ialned Clay, fecesa 2:27, was sold this week to John Hughes, of Fayette, and will be cam- paigned and driven this year by J. W. Smith. Mis mare was expelled two years azo, being detected at Boston after a successtu “ringing” tour through the oil region cir- cuit, but has been reinstated. 4 ‘Jewett, $yeat-old record 2:23%4, is still in his paddock. at Edge Hill, where he has wintered, and is looking fine and hearty. He will not be .worked much this season, only. receiving preparation for the stakes in which he is engaged at Cynthiana and Lexington. These will be practicallya walk-over for him, as now that Steinway has gone_to California there is nothing of hi cin Kentucky that can make a race for Jewett, Mr. George HH. Brasiield, Superintendent of the Edge Hill Farm, has sold to Col. J. W. Conley, of Chicago, 22-year-old ity by Dic- tator, dam by Norman, second dam by Mambrino Chief, third dam by _Barclay’s Columbus. He has also sold to Mr, Frank Magin, of Chicago, a 2-year-old filly by Con- tractor. damn, by Mambrino Champion, sec- ond dam by Cockspur. . Trinket, the wonderful filly by Princeps, that trotted a fourth heat at Louisville last spring in 2:1937, thus acquiring the fastest +- ear-old, record, has been taken up after a long rest, and is being given slow work. She has entirely recovered from the lameness which affected her last season, caused by a curb, and her legs are now as smooth as on the day she was foaled. Her owner, Maj. Hi. C. McDowell, intends to campaign Trin- ket this season, and she will be a hard one to beat in the 2:20 class. BLUE GRASS, sie ee THE BEST PERFORMAMCES.

Lester, of this city, has bought the black premium saddle gelding Tom Col- lins, by Holland. He was bred in Kentucky, and took several premiums last year. The 4year-old stallion Priam, by Mene- laus, has been placed by his owners in the hands of A. Doughty, of the Webster avenue stables, for training, and will be handled by that gentleman, who is the owner of his sire, Y Menelaus. Frank Van Ness will take up quarters at the Jockey Club track to-morrow, his stable consisting of such flyers as Bonesetter, 2:19; Silverton, 2:2214; Neome,- 2:24; and Fred Douglas, 2:251g. All these horses, except Neome, are the property of Mr. H. V. Bemis, of this city. Barney Stanford, who was John Splan’s foreman for several years, and had charge of Rarus, reached town yesterday from, New York, where he has_been spending thé win- ter. ‘He will locate in Chicago for the ensu- ing season, and probably start a public train- ing stable, forthe management of which he is well fitted by years of experience. Master Frank Bemis, nephew of Mr, H. V. Bemis, Treasurer of the Jockey Club, has issued a challenge to trot his Shetland pony “Frank Bemis,” against the Shetland pony “ Bonesetter,” .owned by Mr. J. F. Stude- baker, of South Bend, Ind., for $100 a side, the race to take place over the Chicago track on the same day. that the Bonesetter-Ford match is trotted. That a contest between midget trotters would prove interesting there ean be no doubt. Among the well-bred stallions owned in Chicago is St. Nicholas, py Blue Bull, dam Betsey Pilot, by Clay Pilot; second’ dam Lady Columbus,-by Old Columbus; third dam a fast mare by Harris’ Hambletonian. Clay Pilot was by Neaves’ C. M. Clay, Jr., and his dam was Lady Pilot by Pilot, Jr., her dam being a daughter of Mambrino Chief. St. Nicholas is a handsome dark bay, stands sixteen hands, well proportioned, with good bone and muscle.: He has never been trained, but can show a 2:40 gait, and trots as square and level without weizhts or boots as Rarus. He is larger and better-styled than most of the Blue Bulls, being more like his dam and showing the Clay blood in his appearance. He was bred on the farm of James Wilson & Sons, Rushville, Ind., and Mr. Wilson says “this colt could. trot a three-minute gait when 3 months old,” and that he believed him to be the best colt Blue Bull ever got. This elegant young stallion is now owned by Mr. W. H. Aldrich, of this city, who has had numerous applications for the use of him and has finally decided to allow a limited number of mares of approved breeding to be bred to him. —— TRACK TALK. Lily R. has been sold for $900, and will be trained by George Cadwallader, who brought out Leveller. Hannis, record 2:19%{, will be driven this year by Jim Pettit, having passed from John E. Turner’s stable. The bay gelding.Gil Dutcher, that was to have been in the. stable of Frank Van Ness this season, has gone lame, and ‘will be un- able to trot for some months.

Maud 8S. has the advantage of a year in age, but the friends of Trinket are confident ot her ability to beat the chestnut filly. ‘The matches, if made, will be the result of negotiations long since begun. As early as in the spring of 1879 Maj. McDowell made a proposition to Mr. Vander- dilt, through H. Victor Newcomb, of Louis- ville, a mutual friend of the two gentlemen, looking toward a.match which should help to inaugurate the career of the Kentucky Trot- ting-Club of Louisville. The negotiations were not successful. It afterwards trans- pired, that Maud S. was not in condition, Maj. McDowell, unaware of this fact, pushed the matter to the point of publishing a formal challengeto Mr. Vanderbilt, which elicited No response, Still another. proposition was engineered by .Col. H. S. Russell, of Boston, the owner of Smuggler, who wished to ar- range a meeting at Beacon Park, Boston, be- tween Maud 3., Trinket, So-So,and Von Arnim. He went so far as to authorize his zent in Kentucky, Mr. Hamilton Busby, to offer Mr. Bowman, the owner of So-So, $3,000 for the mare in case Mr. Bowman failed to respond affirmatively to the proposition for the match. Both the match and the offer were declined. ‘The owners of the other ani- mals, with the exception of the owner of ‘Trinket, sent unfavorable replies, and as a conseguence this proposition also came to naught, Mr, Pierre Lorillard has established a Stallion Stake, to be run_in September, 1883, open tothe getof all stallions, to close May 1, 1830, at $500 each, the animals running to be named at the post, and then pay an entry-fee of $250. The race is to take place over the track of the Association that will add the most money. The division of the stake is to be as follows: ‘The owner of the winner will receive the post entrances, one-half of the added money, and the remaining half of the subscription money left after paying.the de- duction for the second horse. The sub- scriber entering the sire of the winner will receive one-half of the added money and one- half of the subscription money remaining after paying the deduction for the second horse. ‘ihe owner of the second horse and the owner of the sire of the second horse will each receive $1,000 out of the subserip- tion. A special clause in the conditions pro- vides that the deuth of a subscriber shall not prevent the produce of his stallion or stall- jons running; provided, of course, the sub- scriptions are paid.

Their Career Between “Our Board- ing-House” and “Sharps and Flats.” Notes Concerning City Theatres and Their Occupants—Hamlin’s "New Scheme. Where You'll Find Them the Coming Week —General Theatrical News. THE “GLUE BROTHERS’* UNION. “To tell you the truth,” said Mr. W. H. Crane to the writer. yesterday, * the union of the ‘Glue Brothers? was made almost by a lawsuit.” The conversation had turned upon the happy thought that had linked the fort- unes of Robson and Crane, for by that union they have obtained a National reputation which individually they probably never could have won, “You see,” continued the comedian, “I had—it was in January, 1877—been playing Dick Swiveller at the New York Park Thea- tre, and had“made a tolerable hit. ‘Our Boarding-House’ was produced, and Abbey engaged me for the part of Gilltpod, while Robson was engaged by A. M. Palmer forthe same part. [had been waiting for such an opportunity, and when I heard what Palmer ‘had done I was indignant. Robson didn’t know of Abbey’s action. I wasn’t going to play Elevator, because the character had been played by an oldman. Gillipod had the fat of the piece, and I went tomy Jawyer. He said my contract was good. After the legal man had explained all my rights in the matter, however, I reflected be- fore taking any steps, and the result was that I accepted the part of Elevator under pro- test. I explained the situation to Robson, We consulted and altered. the lines so that the parts would play better together, and the result was a big success. Of course I abandoned the legal business, much to my lawyer’s disgust, I suppose. After playing together for five weeks we formed the idea of a partnership, and John McCullough offered us time in San Francisco. In the meantime Len Grover had made arrange- ments to play his piece in the large cities. He had made big terms and wanted us to go with him. The firm of Robson & Crane, however, had been founded, and we wouldn’t go unless Grover put our names at the head of the bills.” “You can see our object in this,” remarked Robson, “a purely financial one.” “Grover was in a terrible state. He kicked vigorously,—said it would never do, old fél; ‘Our Boarding-House’ must be the feature, laddie; and so on. We decided not to go. He found then that the managers didn’t want the play, and ultimately accepted our terms, We offered him $20,000 for the piece, but he wouldn’t have it, and ‘we engaged for some $500 week for both.” 2 “You started out with a pretty strongcom- pany?” é “Yes,” replied Robson. ‘‘W. H. Sheridan’ and Maud Granger were in it, and I’ never. forget their expression of deep disgust, when, on reaching Washington at 6 o’clock - one morning they saw the walls covered with |' h ‘ three-sheet posters at the head of which were the names of Robson and Crane in'| thi large letters, supported by ‘the rest: There was a threatened revolt. They talked . of: leaving the company, and Old Eel might have been torn in shreds had hé not fled from the town by the next train. I believe he turned up two or three days after- wards with another three-sheet bill headed with the names of Maud and W. H. Hé stuck it in the green-room of the theatre, and that for a time restored harmony. When we } reached Chicago, where McKee Rankin was engaged to enact Fioretti, the war broke out afresh. Jankin was appeased by another bill. Then another objected, and Len had to come out with another poster. The affair eventuated, I believe, in. Len sup- plying posters for nearly every member. of the troupe down to the little chap who spoke three lines; in fact, I think the entire profits of ‘Our Boarding-House’ were dissipated in posters, Grover being thankful for peace at any price.” E 3 _Hobson’s veracity has never been ques- tioned before. 5 : “Nearly six months we played in ‘Our Boarding-House,’ and the engagement gave usa fine start" Crane went on to say. “We then arranged witl Boucicault for -* Forbid- den Fruit,’ which we played in San Fran- cisco, Chicago, and Boston. ‘Our Bachelors’: followed, Previous to this we had arranged fora play from Boucicault. We have one act of it now, and I believe the other tio are finished.” “Talking of Boucicault,” said Robson, “I Temeiber on the day previous to the produc- tion of ‘The Comedy of Errors,’ 1 dropped After Sothern, the Strategists return to MecVicker’s.

We both liked it upon a. first reading, but the oftener we read it the less we liked it, and finally re- turned the MSS. to the authors. Then it was submitted to Mr. Abbey, of the Park Theatre, New York. He thought a great deal of the piece, and determined to play it with James Lewis and Hardenburg, now with ‘All the Rage.’ Just then, however, Engaged’ was put into his hands, and ‘Sharps and Flats’ was returued, much to the disgust of Greea and Thompson. The piece went from one theatre to another until it reached San Francisco, fell into the hands of Jotm Owens and Kennedy, and they intended producing it at the, Standard in that city. About five months ago. we discovered that we wanted the piece, and wrote Mr. Green, but he couldn’t get the MSS. from the Standard management, One day, however, he went to the box-office and saw the play lying on ashelf. He sent the ticket-seller to hunt for Kennedy. In his absence he cap- tured the play, and sent it to us; we re- hearsed it for five weeks, altered it consid- -erably, and produced it in Montgomery, Ala., where it made a big hit. Then we played it in New Orleans. It was a failure there. Our parts were then strengthened, the piece was altered considerably, and in St. Louis it was a ‘go. You’ve seen how the public have taken to it here. But even now the piece is not what it will be after we've been at it quarter of the time we spent over ‘Our Bachelors.” We think the parts better adapted to us than any: we’ve ever “ What have you new for next seagon ?” abetter company than that in which she now finds herself.
