Their Challonge to Santa Claus. Some Fast Work-at the Jockey Club Track—Notes and Kows Hero and- Elsowherd, - THE CHICAGO STALLION. RACE. ‘The past week, although nota very eventful one, may be said to have witnessed the opening of the trotting scuson,—Suffolk Park, Philadel- phia, having been tho sceno of some well-con- tested races, the principal one boing ‘that be- “tween Hannis, Driver, and othor well-known ones, Hanolg winning after ahard contest of four heats, the second being captured by Driver. Tho time of the race—2:24, 222214, 2A, 2214 — wus remarkably fast when the scason is taken intoconsideration, and shows that Hannis bas fully. reeavered the form which made him the conquerer of everything in his class during 1876, when -he,came out without q ‘record and went into’winter quarters with 2:19} to his credit. The little. horse wasthen in the hands of John Turner, and remained in his stable un- til a few weeks ago, when he was trans- forred to- that of James .E. Pettit, who, “handled Slow-Go' ‘so” successfully in ‘years gone by.. Whether Pettit will’ be able. to keep the chestnut stullion in the bloom that he is now evidently enjoying is ‘an open question, but should he continue to train on there will be hot Work for thosa who beat him in the free-for-all stallion race at the Chicago meoting next July. His competitors in that,race will.ve Bonesctter, Voltuire,. Wedgewood, and Monroe Chief. Of course at the present. time Mr, Bomis’ stallion is looked upon by the public as en almost certain winuver of. this. important event, but tho life of a trotter is fraught with perils and mis- Bups of samany kinds that between now and July 20 a hundred things may occur to render Bonesetter's chances of victory less bright than they at present scem. Hannis is known to be 2 dead gaine lttle follow, but for the past three seasons a‘tencer foot has interfered materially with his success, and prevented either the display or use of, the great.speed which he undoubtedly possesses. JVedgewood is afar better horse than most people give him credit for being. Before feaving the Alexander farm last fail he was given a pubiic trial of three hents at Lexington, each mile boing trotted bet- ter than 2:23, His sule, soon after to M Conklin and Splan brough n and when he started in the 2:80 race.ut Si it was thought that an easy'victory awaited him. This rico—the first that Wedgewood had started in—proved to be one of the most despernte con- tests of the year, and will always stand out brightly ins the memories df those who bud placed thei money on Splan’s stallion before the Start at Jong odds. Mr. Xt. C. Pate’s horse, Green Charley, won the first heat in 2:24, Wedgewood a good third. Splan started out to ‘win the sec- ond heat, but Fanny Robinson,x Kentucky mare that nobody thought eapuble of winning a beat in the race, -was ° first under, the wire in 2:20) Wedgewood being on her wheel at the finish. ‘These two mude 2 dead heat of the third in 2:23, and Funny Robinson won the fourth in 2:23. The race was thon postponed until the following day. During the night a severe rain storm cine on, and in the morning the track wes exceedingly heavy. The race was resumed, Wedgewood winning the fifth, sixth, and seventh beats in 2:31, 22544, 232734, “He then wentto Cincinnati and trotted two flye-heat.races with Fanny Rob- inson and Sciola over the halt-mile track at that place, one ot them being inthe mud. In each of these races Wedgewood won two heats, und the tight between him and Sclola in the first four. heats of their race was one of the most desperate ever scen on a race-trick, Thut this kind of racing was too severe for any young horse there can be no doubt, and it was not until Washington was reached, three weeks later, that Wedgewood was in good shape aguin. He beat a good field at that place, trot- Lng the sixth heat of his race in 2:24, and then went into winter quarters, Splan thinks very highly of the horse, and, if the heats ure split at Chicayo, expects him tu show in front. Mon- row Chief is fuster this year than. over,,and those“ immediately connected with the borse have great faith that hig.avell-known courage and staying qualities‘will be sufficient to defeat. even Bonesotter. Voltaire wis of no acconnt. last season, and tho best judges do not consider his chunces of winning at Chicago worth Bears ing on. ‘That the performance of Hunnis last week has set horsemen in this vicinity to think- Ing there is not the slightest doubt. When tho Tact of his having entered the stallion race was first mado public it was generally conceded that fourth pkice was the best he could hope for, but now he fs beginning to loom up as n dungerous candidate for the honors that attach to second pluce, Bonesetter being generally Jooked upon us @ sure winnor in case be comes to the post in the condition that he bids fair to show on the day of the race. i BONESETTER AND FORD. ‘Three weoks from yesterday is the time set for tho mutch race between Bonesetter and Charley Ford over the Chicago truck; the race being mile heats, thres in five, In harness, for $1,000 a side.’ Both-horses are owned in this city, and by their performances last season proved ‘them- selves to be among the very best trotters in the country, When Bonesetter trotted in 2:19 at Utica it was generally conceded that the time might have been at least twoseconds faster . 7 had Van Ness been looking’ for a fast record; and Charley Ford’s 2:20% over the half-mile track at Cincinnati, when he trotted the entire mile outside of Driver, was certainly a wonder- Tul performance. Both horses wintéered here. } and while Ford’s Jogging was interrupted by the ! application of an unnecessarily severe blister to his hind legs, the let-up does not seem to have } doue'him any harm, as ke never looked finer than at the present time. Bonesctter looks and moves like x winner, He was wintered very eare- fully at the stable of his owner, Mr. H.V. Bemis, y and since Frank Van Ness took him to the track has demonstruted on several occasions that none of his speed is gone. A milo in 2:17% is { the fastest’ work yet’ done by him, that having been accomplished a week ago Inst Wednesday in a trial with Fred Douglass, Crock- ett, and Tolu Maid. Last Thursday he was given ‘couple of easy miles, the first bemg in 2:35h, and the second in 2:312. In chese trials ho was, of course, not driven for speed, the iden of his owner and driver being simply to harden him w) Somewhat for the fast work that is tocome. He Will bave but one race previous to- his mect-- ing Ford in this city, and that will be at the Bat- Ue Creek, Mich., meeting, which occurs June 1 to4, Bonesetter will trot un Wedn ay nt Bat-. tle Creek, and be shipped to this city the samo day, trotting aguinst Fred the following Satur- any. Splan’s horse is engaged at Detroit the sane week, but will have tuken part in scyeral races previous to that time. He trotted lust Friday at Coldwater, Mich., where the Blue Bull mxre Elsie Good succeeded in. defeating: him, the time of. ,the fust- est heat being s. It is claimed ‘that Ford was not. at his best when sturted in this race, but horsemen know that 2:28 over the Coldwater track at this time of the year isa Pretty vood clip for any horse, and are not sur- prised that Ford wis unable to bext a Horse that could go that well. Bonesetterand Ford will not come together until the day of therace here, so that ull opintonson their respective merits must be based on whut Ford does xt Elkhart this week, and at Adrian, while Bonesetter's friends will bave only the rice at Battle Creek to go by. As matters now appear it looks as. though the race in this city would attract one of the largest crowds of the Season, and furnish plenty of op- ‘portunity for the speculative ones to indulge thelr fan¢y to the utmost. MAUD 8. DECLINES. As was anticipated by those who have had con- siderable experience in such matters, the pro- Posed series of ruces between Mr. Vanderbilt's @-year-old mare .Maud S, and the 6-year-old California stallion Santa -Clius -has falien through. ‘The talc xbout,the races originated in & proposition’ from .Cupt.

This challenge was promptly accepted by Mr. Finni- gan, the owner of Sunta Claus, who proposed to trot for $5,000 side. Mr. Stone then wanted a series of flve races over tracks in’ fivo different States. To this Mr. Finnigan replied that be would trot the races named over any one truck that Mr. Stone micht name. ‘This left the.Cin- cinnati man nothing to do but decline or aecept, whigh he docs ina ietter published’ in the Cine cinnati- Enquirer Peiday-- Referring brictly wo.

A. Back of April20,1860. GEORGE N. STONE, a@ EHE GLENVIEW: SALE. Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. Loursvinte, Ky.. May 14.—The impression mande abroad, to’ the effect’ that every Kentuck- ian, including even the Indies, can talk “ horse,” and discuss tholr pediyrees, is a slight exaggern- tion. No doubt thoreis more of. this sort of talking dons hero than anywhere else, buts Part js not the whole,-a partioular is. not a uni+ versal. Every manin Kentucky, every man of Good taste, ind him where you will, that has a love for the beautiful, is bound to contemplate with delight .a:choicu specimen of the noble horse. In Kentucky, whero the horse is pro- duced in his highest finish and perfection, what more natural and proper than that this sppre- cition should be marked, and, in. its highost ex- pressed form, somewhat artistic. y During race week, upon which we may fairl: be suid to have entered even now, all this will uppear, both.:at its worst and’ its best. The “sports” will be an the watch for the race- course “happenings,” and the lovers of the trotter will want to know about the sale at Glen- view next Wednesday, Glenview, the property | ot Messrs. J. C. McFerran & Son, neur Louisville, Jeiferson County, is to Kuntuoky what Orange County isto New York; there are- more Ham- bletonian mures in Jefferson County than in all the ‘rest of Kentucky ee together. And the Glenview trotting stud has no superior in the United States. These facts created a desire to visit the Mc- Ferran furm ‘and seo with iny. own eyes un es- tablishment entitled to such distinction. In the eariy partof the present week I started out along the Brownsboro turnpike road, driving Pust the new -water-works, and then by Indian Hill, until at the end of abont six miles the Glen- view stables und the white fences of Glenview appeared in sight. It ise charming country, the farming lands being of the greatest fertility, and everything in these: pleasant spring-days looking its brightest and best. Isuppose that the Glenview sale must bea great theme with the well-informed horsemen of Chicago. It certainty is in all the othor great. centres of life and thought, and I take it that it is bound to be likewise in the headquarters of the Northwest. The stock- to be sold is truly wonderful, large, and fine, and bred right up to the highest standard. Cuyler, the siré of the principal portion of the offering, is a son of Rysdyk’s Hambictonian, and as a sire be is admitted on all hands to be a success of the first.order, Cuyler has produced the “facts” entitling him’ to this distinction. He is a grand fellow, of u beautiful rich bay color, and, with out shoes or boots or any of the * fixings” com- monly required, can show 2 2:3) gait; and then he hus never sired any among all his very nu- gnerous progeny thut at 4 years of age could not ‘show as good ys three-minute gait. I have not the time to enter up the discussion of the public -performances of Cuyler's illustrious descend unts. -1 have: only to -mention-sueh names as Lucy Cuyler, Orient, and Cricket, in order to suggest whut I would have ' understood, Cuyler fs 2 level-headed. horse of cour- age and spirit, and he imparts those excellont qualities with astonishing uni formity to his sous and daughters. ' To show the | sort of “stulf” out of which the Glenview mares are.made, [will say that four of thom trace to 2:20 performers; sevon others to 2:20 perform- ers; four more to performers with 232% or bet- ster to their credit; ten trace to 2:2613 or bétter Producers: and gine to 2:0 or better producers. On one side of Glenview !s the road already named and on the other is the Ohio River, It Would take a long letter to tell zu about a piace like tho present,—a place consisting of over 1,000 eres of the most valuable biue-grass land, and that it took littlesnart of afortune to stock,—tho cost of land, {mprovements, and stock aggregat- ing over $2),0W. There is nothing on itor about it that fs not of the first order of morit, and, this being true, it is not bard to infer the character of what is to lenve it in consequenea of the com- ingsute. There are two turnpikes lending to Glenview. One hus already been particularized; the other fs by the river's edge. ‘The stranger to. these parts should “do” both, for on both he will he presented with views and. landscapes of enchanting loveliness, . With the unsurpassed Chicago drives in mind, Iwould impress lovers of horsetiesh with the importance of attending this sale. There‘ are 2 number of the animals that would delignt our citizens, who may so easily become possessed of ne or moreof them. They would, indeed, prove Joy forever.” One very unusuat feature of Af ule is that the animals have all been kindly broken, and buyers will not huye to rest on the assurance of any one, but’ cin see for them- selves, 93 every animal willfbe sold jn harness, so that the purchaser can see, not only that they do work, but how they work. It is not, there- fore, as is so-often the cnse at suck sales. like buying “a pig ina poke.” Ihope there will be 4 good attendance of Chicago peopi¢, and that many of these rare youngsters may be seen on our-beuutiful boulevards. Those attending tho sale need only lose one day from business, as qley cm leave Chicago Tuesday night’ nnd ‘be back home again ‘thursday morning to break- fast. ie J.D. MILWAUKEE.

MEDALS NATIONAL AND: INTERNATIONAL, AWARDED TOTHE PROPRIETORS OF A VALUABLE INVENTION, a, The Article Widely Known, Commended & Respected, THE SURGEON-GENERAL OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMY DECIDES 4N ITS FAVOR, The Remarkable Statement of 3,000 Druggists.. Seldom has an article appeared which has sprungso quickly into universal popularity or met with so mous a public conqumption as Benson's Captine Por. ous Plaster. Itisbuta few years since that it was quite unknown. Now there is scarvely an intelligent person‘who fs not aware of'tts efficncy. When the ar, ticle frst made its appedrance people wore led to try it for aches und pains, because the published testimony in {ts favor was so. unusually strong. -The Surgeon General of the Prussin Army, with other notable medical experts, hnd decided in thelr favor atthe Cen- tennial’ Exposition, 1876, agda jury of physicians just as distinguished hud concurred 1n awarding the pre. prietors the hihest medal of éxtollonce at the Pais Exposition, 13. That they wero exhibited at all gt these Expositions fs conclusive proof that they hsp no connections: with ordinary npstrams and paten medicines, as'such articles were not even allowed a place there. These facts, together with the expressions of the press and the testimonials of many private phy. sicians, wero widely published and could not fall to fy spire confidence in the minds of very many that thaan ucle wasone of more than onlinary merit, and sé they were tested und their value proved. Then they were Tecommended from neighbor to neighbor until thelr ‘use spread thronjhout this country and Europe. That they would relieve pain with astonishing rapldity sid were cleanly, convenient, and Inexpensive becime known in tens of thousunds‘or families. It soemed very reasonable that a remedy of the proper kind ap plied as this ore was, just inthe revion of the und acting through the pores, must remove pain and its cause quicker than any medicine taken Int could, and would prove more beneficial than anyliquid medicine applied externally, because the action of such remedies {s not so continuous as that of Benson's Cagicine Porous Plaster. cee nineas he last remarkable testimony to the-great merit éf these plasters ts a statement which has been signed by over 3,000 druggists in various parts of the country, and isto the affect that they (the druggists) consider Benson's Cupeine Porous Plasters far superior to all similar articles, and one of the few reliable household remedie: CLOTHING.
