Ttems, LUCILLE RETMED. ‘Those who favor honesty and fair dealing in turf sports will be sorry to learn that Mr. R.C. Pate, of St. Louis, whose luck for the past year in matters pertaining to trotters has been none of the best, has been obliged to retire from active sérvice’ the bay mare Lucille, record 2:21, owned by him. She came. out in 1877, during which year she scored but one victory, her fastestrecord that season—3:29—being obtained in a race at Columbus, O., Oct. 12 and 18, which was won by Deck Wright, and-it was such a re- iarkable contest in more ways than onethat a brief reference to it at this time will not be uninteresting. The previous week had been marked by a sensational race at Cleveland for horses of the 2:35 class, which was very un- expectedly won by the Chicago horse Shep- pard Boy in 2:23}4, 2:25), 2:27, Deck Wright having been made a hot favorit before the start by the knowing ones. But ‘“Nosey” Brown—now dead—had driven the little gray horse all the season, and knew that he pos- sessed a reserve of speed which had never been called upon to exhibit, and, al- though the first heat was a lit tle faster than even his driver thought the gray could go, he wad not surprised at his victory. The following week nearly the same field met at Columbus, Lucille and Daniel the Prophet being about the only addition to the lot. Sheppard Boy’s Cleveland victory made him a favorit at Columbus, his own party backing him freely in the pool-box. Lucille won the first heat in 2:29, and Deck Wright the second in 2:28, By this time the managers of Sheppard Boy became convinced that the others were 2 little too “soon” for him, and in order to get even bet their money on Deck Wright in lively style, calculating that there was noth- ing in the race capable of beating him. In the third heat, however, Daniel the Prophet, who was driven by a large and yore “sassy”? colored inan, cut, loose and went by the rest -of the field as if they were tied, winning the heat in 2:30, Then the Sheppard Boy folks were worse second than before, especially as they discovered that their horse was get- ting better every heat, and was Ilable to win. He took the fourth heat in 2:29'¢. In the fifth heat Daniel the Prophet again went to the front, being first under the wire in 2:30. Matters were now decidedly mixed, but night kindly inter- fered, and the race was postponed until the following day. In the morning all the horses came out fresh and strong, all afforts to “arrange” things during the night having failed. ‘When the word was given for the sixth heat Daniel the Prophet went away at aterrific pace, and the hearts of the Shep- pard Boy and Deck Wright people waxed faint. Both these horses took after the leader, and Wright succeeded in making a dead heat with him in 2:27, This was some consolation, but not much, as Daniel had two heats to his credit, while the others had but one apiece. Things looked better after the next heat, however, as Wright won it in Poa eth but in the eighth heat he “ sat down” so adly. that Sheppard Boy was forced to take up the battle against the Prophet, beating him out by a head only in 2:303/. The ninth heat was trotted amid tremendous excitement, and after much work by Sheppard Boy in the way of carry- ing the Prophet wide on the turns, Dec! Wright tumbled under the wire a neck ahead in 2:8234, thus bringing to a close one of the most hotly-contegted races on record. After this beginning, \vhich was enough to have tested the endurance of the oldest campaigner, Lucille was retired for the win- ter, but came out brilliahtly in 1878, the ever memorable series of rades between her and Croxie through the tral Cireuit being contests to which those vho witnessed thent still.refer in terms of admiration, At Cleve- Jand Lucille won.in straight heats, ‘her. time being 2:22, 2:95!¢, .2:25, but a. week ‘ ‘ sctoxe : avant eae a desperate struggle of ei; heat 8 race not - being finished” the day it was begun. Pad Mills won the — first heat in 2:248%, fambletonian| Mambrino the second in 2:2734, Croxie the third in 2:26, Lucille the fourth and fifth in 2:21 and 2:23, and Croxie the sixth in 2:2334. Croxie and Lucille then made a dead heat of the seventh in 2224, after which the race was postponed. until the following morning, when Croxie trotted the fastest eighth heat_on record— 2:191¢—and won the race. At Rochester, the following week, the tables were againturned, Lucille winning a most creditable victory. Croxie won the first and second heats in 3:25 and 2:25!4, after which Lucille came on and took the race in 2:21, , 2:2534, absolute- ly walking under the wire in the fastest heat, ich she could undoubtedly have trotted in Ww 2:17 The last meeting of these two great mares was at Utica, a ‘week Jater, when Croxie, won in 2:21, FRaeee 22134, Lucille being _ second. Last season Lucille threw out a curb during the Chicago meeting, and was retired for the balance of the year. She came out this spring in good form, but on her first trial was found to be aitected with a weakness across the back, and Mr. Pate determined to breed her to Gov. Sprague. She is by the thoroughbred horse Exchequer (full brother to Planet), her dam beinga Kentucky-bred pacing mare. LOCAL GOSSIP. St. Julien will be exhibited at the Jockey Club track to-day, should the weather prove fine. Mr. Frank H. Dunton, of Dunton’s Spirit of the Turf, has‘returned from an extended trip to Colorado, and is at work again. Jere Dunn has in his stables a gray geld- ing by Tom Hunter (the sire of Albemarle) that promises to develop into a good one. Monroe Chief was given a mile and repeat in 2:26, 2:26, last Sunday morning, with his old driver, Peter V. Johnson, in the sulky. Jere Dunn goes to Milwaukee next week with Crockett, the chesnut gelding being en- tered in the 2:27 stake at the meeting there. Mr. W. C. France, of St. Louis, is trainin his trotters at the Sockey Club track. The lot consists of Mazo-Manie, France’s Alex- ander, and Dreain. Business and Gloster, both members of Splan’s stable, have joined the rest of his horses in Michigan. Business is engaged at Adrian this week, trotting Thursday in the 2:26 class. Mr. S. J, Morgan’s fast young stallion Piedmont, by Almont, will be driven this season by Peter V. Johnson, and makes his first sppearance in the 2:30 class at Adrian next Friday. Among the recent arrivals at the Jockey Club track is: the gray mare Rose of Wash- ington,—record, 22e —owned by Mr. Will- iain Sinsabaugh, of Washington, Ia. She is in fine shape, and promises to be a winner in her class this year. The matinée announced for yesterday aft- ernoon at the Central Park track was post- poned on account of therain. There will be no trotting next Saturday, as the Bonesetter- Ford match is set for that day, but a week from that time President Aldrich expects to give the boys a chance. Bonesetter has gone to Battle Creek, Mich., where he trots Tuesday in the free-for-all race, returning to this city the following day. Frank Van Ness, his driver, will leave Bat- creek Friday night, reaching here Satur- day in time to drive Bonesetter in_his race against Charley Ford that day. The latter horse is to trot at Adrian in the 3:19 class Tuesday, his opponents being Elsie Good, Will Cody, Lucy, Doty, and Katie Middleton. ADRIAN ENTRIES.

PHILADELPHIA. PHTLADELrutA, May 28.—At the Belmont Park races the 2:20 class resulted: 1 3 wor TRACK TALK. The pacing quartet will be at Adrian this week. Capt. William Connor was the official starter at Baltimore last week. Hindoo and Brambaletta are the best 2 year-olds ot the season thus far. ; ‘The Utica Association, which has a very odorous reputation, has decided not to give a meeting this season. Fonso, winner of the Kentucky Derby at the Louisville meeting, was bred at the Alexander farm and sold when a yearling for $220. Now that her stable companion Sensation is kept out of the way, Mr. Lorillard’s fine filly Grenada has no trouble in winning her Traces. Mr, James Gordon Bennett has purchased the English steeplechase horse Carter, and now has three jumpers in his Newmarket stable. The 5-year-old chestnut gelding Franklin, formerly known_as Brother to Bassett, has broken down. He fell lame in his first race last year, but subsequently worked out of it. This week it is Battle Creek vs. Adrian, Next week the fight will be a three-cornered. one, meetings being given at Jackson, De- troit, and Milwaukee. The last named _ place has secured the pacers Sleepy Tom, Mattie Hunter, Lucy, and Rowdy Boy. The most successful jockey at the Louis- ville meeting was McLoughlin, he being credited with the opening race of the meet- ing on Volturno, the Ladies’ Stakes on Brambaletta, the Kentucky Oaks_ on Longi- tude, the selling race won by Wartield on the same day, the selling race won by Mata- gorda on the Cup day, the Louisville Cup on Volturno, the Tobacco Stakes on Boulevard, the second selling race won by Matagorda, and the Clark Stakes. The correspondent who wishes to know what is meant by the term “roarer” when applied to horses. is informed that when the organs of respiration become affected the horse makes a wheeling or whistling sound when at work, and such animals are called Toarers. It is a disease that can be inherited, and aroaring sire generally begets roarers. Prince Charlie, the sire of Prestonpans and other noted English thoroughbreds, and himself the greatest “miler” of his day, was aroarer when on the turf, and the majority of his progeny are similarly affected, When an English or French 2-vear-old wins an important event at any of the prin- cipal English mestines, the Sportsman never fails to devote considerable space to the oungster, but it dismisses Iroquois, the brother to Harold, who has already won two good races, by saying that ‘* Mr. Lorillard in- troduced to notice a nice youngster in Ire- quois, a very heavily-engaged son of Leam- ington and Maggie, who simply cantered home for the Newmarket ‘Two-Year Old Pilate, and the colt should earn several win- ning brackets before the end of the season.” The Adrian (Mich.) meeting, to beheld this th cl Hing nts aye but hardly up to the standard predic! vy the A arinn Times, which asserts that St. Julien and Hopeful are entered in the free- for-all race, and will certainly start. It is just possible that Hopeful may be at Adrian this week, but there is not the slightest prob- ability of his starting in a race against other horses. The Adrian paper is also wrong in stating that Santa Claus will be there and take part in all the meetings of, the anti-Jackson Circuit, and what makes the silliness of this assertion more palpable is the fact that Santa Claus is in California, Itis also stated that Bonesetter will trot at Adrian, which is not the case, the horse being engaged this week at Battle Creek. a According to the Leader, the horses being trained at the Cleveland track are beating everything In the country in private trials, and with the amount of improvement that it is reasonable to expect between now and the middle of July théy will simply have a walk- over in the Circuit races. Among the latest performances were ia mile by Toia in 2:25, one by Lula K. in 2:25, one by Effie. in 922414, a mile and repeat by Parana in 3:22, 2:2) a half-mile by Rienzi in 1:09,a mile by Lady Cleveland in 2:27, a half-mile by Gen. Hayes in 1:12, a quarter-mile by an unnamed sorrel gelding in 35 seconds, and a mile in 2:25 by Katie Fisher, As none of these horses have records better than 2:30, it will be seen that they are dangerous ones to meet, unless, as is probably the case, the reporter was cruelly deceived by the drivers atthe track. ‘The famous thoroughbred running mare Kincsem, bred in: Hungary, has terminated her racing career in consequence of a kick received from a stable companion. Thus hag terminated the most brilliant turf career of any horseon record. Thisinvincibledaughter of Cambuscan, during the four years of her public life on the turf, won fifty-four races ‘without encountering a single defeat. These unparalleled series of notable triumphs place her far ahead of any other thoroug bred in Europe or in apy other portion o: the civil- jzed globe. In i876, as a 2-year-old, she won ten races: in 1877, a3 a3-yeat-old, she won seventeen races; in 1878, as.a4-year-old, she Won fifteen races; in ‘1879, mace oenr ane she won fwelve races; making in all fifty- four victories.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The Record of ‘Those Taken Out Dur- ing the Week. ‘There were 131 licenses granted Iast week, which was about the same number as the week previous. TheClerk’s office was closed yesterday afternoon, in honor of Decoration Day, which no doubts disappointed many who were anxious to obtain papers in which the “unit rule” was a necessary part of the contract. ‘The past week was not a very good one for widows, only 8 appearing in the list, or about 1in 16. Three of the misses were under 18, and the oldest couple lacked a year each of having turned a half century.

DECORATION-DAY. Memorial Services Yesterday at the Various Cemeteries. Owing to the rain and the excitement caused by the approaching meeting of the National Convention, Decoration-Day wie not so much of an event asit has beev i. other years, and there were fewer parnci- pants than usual. But the day did not by any means go by unhonored. ROSEDILL. In consequence of the threatened storm the attendance at Rosehill was not very large, although the few who ventured out were enthusiastic in their efforts to scatter the quantities of flowers provided over the graves of the dead heroes of the War. There were no services held at the cemetery. Grand Amy Post No. 28, under the leadership of Maj. Rollph, superintended the decora- tion, assisted by a committee from the Union Veteran Association. The floral tributes of affection were generously distributed by loving hands, the ladies present gen- erally assisting. ‘The soldiers’ monument was very handsomely decorated with trailing vines, and on the south side of the monument there had been laid out a floral flag and staff, composed of variegated plants, the stars being designated by cactus plants. ‘This work of floral art was very beautiful, and was the subject of general comment. The monument erected to the memory of Gen. Ransome was lavishly and beautifully decorated with floral tributes. Ube prays of Gen. yma who cominanded ‘hire teenth Illinois Regiment, of Col. Kirk, ot the Thirty-fourth, and that of Gen. B, J. Sweet, who commanded at Camp Douglas, were also specialiy noticeable for their profuse decoration, - placed there in emory of their noble and patriotie deeds. Nota single grave was overlooked, and the solemn and thoughtful mannor-in which this patriotic and beautiful service was conducted indicated an undying affec- tion for the valorous dead, whose deeds can- not be forgotten, as year by year their patri- otism is more profoundly recognized. The battery lots in the cemetery, including Bat- tery A,” Taylor’s Bridges, and the Board of Trade Battery, were all visited, and ten- der offe: placed above the graves of their heroic dead. Nothmg occurred to mar the successful completion of the task willingly assumed by all who took part in it, and atan early hour the crowd started cityward, OARWOODS. ‘The decoration of the graves at Oakwoods Cemetery was assigned to the Whi:tier Post, No. %, GA. YXesterday’s noon-train on the Illinois Central Railroad took eight car- loads of veterans and visitors there, and, together with the people who used other nieans of transit, made the total number of visitors about 700. The train arrived at 1 o’clock at the cemetery, and the Whittier Post, under charge of Commander E. B, Howard, and numbering forty men, disem- barked. A heavy rain was falling, and the heroes of the past War returned to the cars in broken order to await a change in the weather. The people who came out alsa resolved to remain in thecars. A number of them became disgusted, and went im- mediately back to Chicago. To entertain themselves the boys rallied around hard- tack, cheese, an coffee, «and told stories of their camp-life of years ago. At3o’clock, the rain having stopped fora few moments, the Grand Army of the Re ‘| public marched to the soldiers’ monument, and there forming a square arounil the grave the exercises took lace, led by the com- inander and assisted by Chaplain Thomas Law- rence, Remarks were then made bythe Rev. Dr. Pope, of ‘Trinity Methodist Chureh, who was followed by C.S. Thornton, the oratot of the day, who inade a very fine Decorition- Day speech. Flowers were then strewn ovet the graves of the dead by ten little girls dressed in white. Lyon’s Post and the Twenty-fourth Illinois had charge of the services at Graceland, where an address was made by William Hepp: and the Union Veterans of those at ‘aldheim. At 4 o’elock this afternoon the Grand Army of the Republic will attend memorial services in a body, to. pe held a Central gies Halle Addresses wil made by 0] 3 the Rev. Dr. Thomas, ‘and the Rev. C. G Trusdell. STILL REMEMBERED. That the soldierlead are not forgotten even in the midst of the turmoil and excite- ment incident to the political season is plain- ly shown by the fact that Friday the employés of the Post-Office and different stations con- tributed over $130 toward decorating the graves of the dead herves. It was notan as- sessinent, but a free-will offering, and it is safe to say that no other contribation given for that purpose, be it from rich gr poor, carried with it more of love and honor.
