THE CHICAGO. TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY .18, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGE THE TURF. The Great Trotting Meeting in Chicago This Week. Ore Hundred and Sixty-three Fly- ers Engaged in the Various Stakes. Some Mention of the Principal Ones in Each Event, and Their Records. Inside Facts Regarding the Row Over the Pool-Box at Detroit—Track Talk, Etc. TITE CHICAGO MEETING. Nearly everybody in the country who is inter- Jed in trotting will visit Chicago thls week for ie pose of attending the great meeting which commences next Tuesday and continues without interruption during the week, That it Nin eclipee in point of interest any similar event * the year there 15 not the slightest doubt, and fhe ouly thing left to be hoped for is good weather. With this assured, the Jockey Club could safely count onan average daily attend- ance of 10,00, and Know before the gates were cpened that the mecting was cestain to prove Sind guecess. The Stake system in trotting, ooh waa inauguaated by the Club, bas ured a much greater success than even prNmnost sanguine supporters had. believed oseible, there being in the cleven stakes and dire extra races no less than 163 entries; — fometbing abeulutely unapproached in the an- nals of trotting. And, what is better, nearly 9 cent of the horses engaged are at the track wid ready for the battles of the coming week, fo that In every race there is certain to bea large field of starters, and in every caso there srefrom one to four of tho starters that are known to be able to trot better than 2:24, and in gcveril Instances 2:20 is hardly n mark for some ofthe speedier ones. And this estimate of their powers isnut bused upon talk. ‘There has been Tiarger number of good trotting mectings this year than ever before, and at cach one several jew Byers have been discovered, and old cam- poleners bave gone faster than ever vefore. Fortunately’ for Chicago, there was no meeting of consequence anywhere in the West lest week, and 2s a result the horses entered at Chicago came here a week earlier than would otherwise have been’ the case. They found awaiting them a track that is pronounced by horsemen the best and fastest in the country, ‘and in consequence the conditions for fast work were never more favorable. Every morning the various stables have been worked, and the result of each trial ascertained and carefully poted down by lynx-ered watchers in the grand stand and on the club-house balcony in the hope of using the information. thus obtained for fut- ure profit. THE TRIBUNE has given the correct time of every important trial at the trick dur- ing the past ten days, but has not indulged in the common but {diotie practice of “predict- jug” what this or that horse will do or what the winner of ang race willbe. It proposes to-day to give the list of entries in ench race, together with some facts regarding those horses whose per- durmances thisseason haye shown them to be possible winners. ‘Un the first dav, Tuesday, the initial event will tw: the free-to-all stallion race, in which Monroe Cuief, Bunesetter, Wedgewood, Voltaire, and Hasnis are engaged. ‘There is scarcely a doubt Uuat Monroe Chict will be a favorit in this race, #s be hus thus far this season been very success- tul, Winning all his races. He started out with arceurd uf 223, which he was not obliged to Jower until the Detroit meeting, where he beat ‘Lucy and others in straight heats, the time of the fastest being 2:22'3.

Biack Cloud will also be well backed, he being known to be fast und gume, while Hambietonian Basbaw will have some support on account of bis having already obtained a record of 2:24%. Amber is said to be “a ghost,” but, as he did not reach the track until Friday, no chance to note his speed has yet been afforded. ‘There are three'races set for Thursday,—the 2:23 and 2:34 classes,and the free-for-all, In the 2:23 class the entries are Bonner Hoy, Katie Middleton, Belle H., Wedgewood, Nil Desperan- dum, Lady Turpin, Tommy Gntes, Monarch Rule, and Lucy. Katie Middleton can outtrot any horse in the race, and stay al! day, but she is Sighty, and seldom ucts well. Bonner Boy was thought by his owners carly this sea- son to be able to go three heats better than 2:20, but he bas not. shown any such speed in public. Lucy can certainty go well, as ber record of 2:90, obtained at Sagi- naw, shows, but she has the reputation of not being game. Wedgewood is fast, steady, and reliable, and the race is looked upon by horse- men as lying between him, Lucy, Bonner Boy, and Middleton. Jennie C., Dutchman, Little Hannah, Elmer, Charles W., Wilbur F., Josephus, Troubadour Eva, Jim Lane, Gossip, Outlaw, Lizzie 2d,, Lida Lewis, Black Cloud, Rolia, Commodore Sweetzer, and Almo are entered in the 2:34 race. Of Black Cloud and Wilbur F. mention has heretofore been made. Josephus can zo half a mile at a 1:15 clip, but has been beaten this year in 2:8. - Lizzie 2d won a bentat Saginaw in 2:2314, but Jost the race by reagon of her bad be- havior. Lida Lewis can trot very fast, but has never been in a race,—a fact that is against her. The free-for-all will bring out St. Julien, Darby. and Hopeful. 1f from any reason Darby or Hopeful {s unable to start, St. Julien will trot aguinst his own record of 2:12% for a purse of $1.00. - ‘The 2:19 class is the first thing Friday, Bone- setter, Etta Jones, Charlie Ford, Lida berth and Hannis being entered. Charlie Ford will doubtless sell favorit in this race, but if he wins 2:19 will probably be beaten. The 2:7] class has for entries Silverton, Doty, Deck Wright, Voltaire, Little Gypsy. Rosc of Washington, Will Cody, and Richard. ‘These are all old campaigners, and evenly matched, but 23 Cody bas trotted a hulf-mile track in 2:20% this season he will doubticss be the favorit. Saturday will be the closing one of the mect- ing, the 2:50 and 2:25 classes being on the curd. In the tirst Charlie C.. Marian H., Cenletta, Ike Marvel, Don Quixote, Crockort, Chirles’ W., Strader, Hambletonian Bashaw, ‘Piedmont, Troubadour. Gray Cloud,” Kentucky Wilkes, Sucker Maid, Newburn, Lucy C., Parana, Duck, Amber, Palma, Red Jim, Ledy;3.. and Pilot R. areentered. Palmer and Pilot KR. have shown the best this season, but there nre several of the others that are credited with the ability to trot in2:20. The 2:25 race includes Monroe Chief, Fred Douglas, Green Charley, Billy, Daciana, Barkis, mulus, Tolu Maid, George Judd, Lewinski, William H., Dream, Capt. Jack, Russ Ellis, and Warrior. “According to ‘all accounts, this Truce should be a match between Mouroe Chicf, Bur- ‘is, and Russ Ellis, THE DETROIT ROW. ‘The Intest fase of the trouble between John TDemass and his crowd and the Detroit Jockey Club, full particulars of which havealready been given in these columns, is the trial by x commit- Genick, who had been deposed from office by Mayor Thompson for endeavoring to extort money trom the Jockey Club. .As showing that Demass was at the bottom of the scheme to in- jure the businessof Bride and Armstrong, the official pool-scllers, the following testimony giv- en by Constable William Close is of interest: 1 was at the Hamtramek race course when the dfiiculties took place between the constubles and the pool-seliers. Thad a couversation with John Demass on the first day of the races. He was aggrieved over the action of the Club in refus- ing to allow him to sell pools on the ground, or even run awheel. He said he would break up the Association. He knew of a man who would give me $50 if ] would “pull” the pool-sellers. 1 told him that I would not have anything to do with anything of this nature; but if be would get a warrant I would serve it just us [ would any other. Immediately after this conversation William Sullivan came to me and asked me it [ would ‘pull’ the pool-sellers iu their. busiest time if a warrant was placed in my hands. I said no. The next morning Ita!ked with Demass at tho Punch Bowl Sullivan cume in and called o another room. He sald he would give mo BSE could geta mun tomake the complaint. 1 replied that {did not desire to bother with it. He then suid he would giv $20. Ianswered that 1 did not wanttobaveanything todo with thedirty business, 25 I did not want to get anybody against me. Inthe afternoon I saw Constubie Bradford, and he told me he held werrants for the arrest of the pool-scllers._ He asked me to point out the parties to him. I asked him if he was going to arrest. them on the course, and he answered yes. I advised him uot to do it, us the parties were well known. and would not run away. Bradford sald there was good money in it, and money is what he worked fur. I told him that if he shoula ‘carry out bis plin there would certainly be trouble. He told me that he bad engaged Constables Genick and Mass to help him. I saw Genick and Mass on _the course, but did not talk to either of them. Just at this time pool-selling was about to be commenced. Sulli- van came around to Bradford and said, “Now is your time to make your arrests." Bradford ud- ¥anced, and I went to Capt. Girardin, of the po- lice force, and told him that I thought there would be trouble. Te came toward the pool-stand. Bradforl jamped into the stand and took of the money-box. The pool-seliers asked him toshow his warrant and he retusod, saying that be did not have to. Mayor Thompson also insisted that the warrants be shown up, but the Consta- ble positively refused. Things became lvcly in the stand, and f noticed several Iegel papers in an outside pocket in Bradford's cout. 1 pulled them out without being noticed by him, und in examining them I found two warrants, which 1 handed to Capt. Girardin. He read them and suid that the papers were all right. ‘The pool- sellers thereupon submitted, ‘The next day Bradford came to me and said that he was going for tke pool-sellers again. He made the arrests. Constable Genick told me that Bradford hired him to assist him. He was to get 22.59 for his services. The warrants upon which the arrests were made were issued by Justice Toll. Upon eross-examination the witness thus tes- tities The complaints were made by Jobn Fleming. Bradford was the principal man in the trouble, he having charge of the case. Genick told ine that Bradtord asked bim to ¢o to the couree and arrest some rough characters, without designat- ing who they were. Demass and Sullivan were at tbe bottom of the whole matter. They said that they were opposed to the silk-stockings. S MATINEE AT CENTRAL PARK, Fully 4,000 peaple attended the Central Park Driving Association's matinge at their track yesterday afternoon. The races were all of un interesting character, the Romnan-vhariot race belng an especini attraction. It was won by the four handsome blacks skill- fully driven by Mrs. A. McDonald, and the sec- ond heat, said to be the fastest on record, was run in dS! seconds.

Veech, Cashier of the Drovers’ Bank at Louisville, and breeder of Trinket, says ina note to the Cinclonati Com- mercial: “ In your notice of the Maud 5,-Trinket race, to be trotted at Chicugo on the 4th, you say Trinket was bred by Dr. Veech.

Cxicaqo, July 17.—Your criticism on the per- formance at Hooley's Theatre last night hardly dues justice in the ‘premises. Iam astranger In the city, and paid $1 to attend what I had been led to believe would be a first-class entertainment.

Cmcaco, July 16.—Ald. Everet endevors, by som special pleading, to excuse his attempt to stenl a schoolhous from the Walnut street and Kedzia avenue people, and doesn’t seem to like my writing to you overa pseudunym. My only object in the latter was to avoid notoriety; and if the Alderman wil cal at my residenc, No. 222 Irving place, any evening this week except Tuesday, he wil find me at home in propria per- sona, and I wil endevor to convine him of the sintulnes of the operation he is seeking tocarry out. First, insted of ther belng two rented.roomsin tho Kedzie avenue district, occupied for school purposes, there ar three; so that his sta- Ustics regarding the attendanc at those schools cannot be very reliable. Moreover, these rooms ar occupied exclusively for primary schools, and tho more advanced scholars nr compelled to walk to the Hayes School, at the corner of Ful- ton und Leavitt streets, distant two miles or more from the homes of som of ther. It is very kind of the Alderman to refer me to the reports of the Board of Education, which ar practically inaccessible to those who, like ny self, are confined ten hours a day at their own business. ‘Mr. Everet says ther is not one hous in the city limits north of the proposed school site at the coruer of Kedzie avenue aud Walnutstrect, but one west of it,and not over twenty south of jt. ‘To spexk mildiy of it would be to say that his assertion isa misstatement. Ald. Thompson jnforms me that west of Kedzie -avenue, be- tween Lake street and Chicago avenue. ther ar over fifty houses. Ther ur neurly or quite ‘tbat number between Lake and Madison streets, ‘hile ther {s a large population between Kedzie avenue and Rockwell street. Inthe dis- trict bounded by the centre of Lake, Kedzie, Hinsie, and Rockwell, L one counted, if [ re: Tnember correctly. 168 tenements or dwellings. ‘In one of his speeches to his- neighbors in ad- yocacy of his schemes, Mr. Everet dwolt fee. in iy upon the distang that his constituents’ children hav to travel—acrps the railroad track at that—to reach the nearest school, the King. He forgot that the very reasons trged In that ro- ‘enrd would upply with threfdid force to the Kedzie avenue district; for their |nearest schoul is the Hayes, at Leavitt street, while the King is west of ‘Western avenue, or mproe than two blocks uearer. Moreover, very few of his constituents —for whom he sheds so mai Cee west of California avenue, while the revers is the case in the Kedzie ayenue district, a By the common law of public opinion it has becom settled that when an «appropriation has Decn made for an improvement in any particu- lar locality or community, the benofit of the ap- ropriation of right belongs to that community. ut in the instang under discussion, we find the ‘Alderman attempting to disturb this common jaw, and deprive the peopld of one district of thefr rights for the benefit.of those of another, when the needs of the former ar actually greater than those of the Iatter. If this isn't “cheeky ” Ldon't know what is. The fling of Mr, Everet about my friends and I owning “hundreds of. acres of land in and around this proposed improvement” is hardly wvorth notice, except that {t has been the con- stant: cry of the opposing members uf the ‘Counell, the press, and those niggardly people who have secured their own. improvements at the expense of the City Treasury whenever any- thing has been askt for the benefit of the mag- niticent property and the larg population west of Rockwell street. Such argumonts wil, like the boomerang, roturn to torment Mr. Everet whenever he endeavors to secure just and oper appropriations for his corfstituents in fis ‘own immediate vicinity. I do not own a font of vacant ‘property. in the vicinity of the roposed jmprovemnen!

Your read- ers (merchants or otherwise) will see the ab- surdity of this pusition. Young.mon, by virtue of their compotency and characters ‘already tried, and by tne fnture before them, are more valuable to firms than old men who have proba- bly boen used up in some one else’s service, and whose minds are dwarfed by that de- pendence which the reception of a Iife- long salary from a fellow-man always creates. | Old men have thoir {ikes and dislikes, and their chronic peauliarities, and are much less adapted to the service of a firm than young men, who, prompt and obedient, soon fall: into the notions and ways of doing business of their employers. As to competency, n young bookkeeper, zealous in his work, sanguine and faithfut, ts less likely to wake errors than an old bookkeeper, with 1 consumptive aud increasing family, despotic help, and beryy house bills weighing on bis mind. Many of Chicago's most public-spirited and enterprising citizens were once underpaid bookkeepers, and, were it not for their com- petency and reliability, would ‘de bookkeepers still, Several of: the firms lately robbed hnve grudunted years ago in the same bookkeeping, hardzworked, underpaid olass. ‘The following statement will show that an old bookkeeper has just as much need of moncy and as much liable to temptation as a young one.

Very respectfully, Vox JOVENALIS. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Freaks of the Electric Fluid in a Barn. Thursday afternoon a casualty at Mel- bourne, Laxe County, excited more than ordinary interest. About1 o’clock, two laborers, John H. Layton and GeorgeE. Lupton, were in a field hauling hay for Capt. Paulick, when they observed a thunder-storm rapidly coming up. Driving their load to the barn, they unloaded just a8 the rain began to fall, and, uphar- nessing the horses, took shelter. Within were Capt. Paulick and his little’ son, and four horses, Ina few minutes it began to hail. Layton stepped out and gathered a few hailstones, and, returning, offered sever- alto Lupton, who remarked, “There’ll be some bigger ones alongin a minute.” At thet moment a flash of lightning -was seen, and Lupton, Layton, the boy, and the two horses dropped. “ Lupton was instantly killed; as also was one horse. Layton was struck on the right thigh, burned down the leg, and had his shoe rippedoff. The boy was se- verely burned on the Jeft foot. One horse was stunned. The bolt struck the gable, rip- ping off shingles and splitting a lst, and then bifurcated,—one current striking Lup- ton, and the other darting to the horses. Ram- ifications of the first did the dainage to Lay- ton and the boy, Lupton was natural looking when picked up, and had no marks upon his body, but all effurts to resuscitate him. failed. In two hours he began to turn black, showing that the electric fluid had been In suflicient quan- tity to instuntly congulate all the fibrin in the capillary arterles and prevent the blood from settling, A Tribune reporter called on Layton ies terday at No. 615 West Ohio, and found him still suffering, though able to be up. He says he never saw the flash, heard the thun- der, nor felt any sensation. After a little his burned leg began to,pain him, but not to any excess. Acurious feature of this. accident is that all were directly struck, and none were injured. by the = “return snock,” as it has been called. Under the influence of a thunder-cloud, all salient bodies upon the earth become charged with electricity of opposit polarity to that of the cloud, In- case of human be- ings, when the discharge comes, and the cloud no longer exercises the power of induc- tion, the violent neutralization of the quan- tity of electricity they contain is often quite suilicient to cause death, although the flash of lightning which neutralized the cloud may have fallen a2 mile away. In this case, however, all the mischief was wrought by the direct discharge, and those who were not in its path felt no return. shock whatever, which is rather a smgular freak for atmos- pheric electricity to play. A STREET COLLOQUY. “ Phwat’s the matther,—is that yer conun- dhrum ?” queried Mrs. Selim Rafferty, on Paulina street, Inst evening, as an officer stepped up to ask her the cause of a disturb- ance of the peace; ‘an’ phwat’s that to you?” she added, belligerently. “Nothing; only Pll run you in if you make that noise again,” observed the officer. “Ye will, will ye?—ye’ll run me in—ye’ll runme in, will ye?—Misthress Rafferty, Nora McNamee that wuz,.an’ as dacint a woman ez lives this side uv Mishig- gan avenoo, an’ phwat. ain’t afraid uv you, ner twinty loike ye, nor uv Mare Harrison nayther,—do ye moind that, now ?? she concluded, pausing for breath and utiliz- ing the time to snap her fingers derisively in his very face, concluding which hostile cere- mony she planted her hands squarety on her hips and pursed up her mouth and repeated: “Ya-a-ald’ye moind that, now?

Another Consultation Over Our Aro- . matic Artery. Friday afternoon Mayor Harrison, Judge Glover, President of the Board of Canal Commissioners, and several other interested parties had a conversation in the Mayor's office Tegarding the proposea pumping-works at Bridgeport, and the Mayor stated after- ward that Judge Glover had informed him that ‘the Canal Commissioners would not allow a lock to be put in the canal at “Bridgeport until. after the close of navigation, Last evening a reporter galled on Judge Glover at his residence, No. 2600 Indiana avenue, and asked him whether the statement made by the Mayor was cor- rect: . “ Well,” said the Judge, “I do not think Mayor Harrison quite understood the remark Tinade on that point, according to the state- nent you say he makes.” : “Will you please state what the subject as nearly as possibl “¥ told him that £ supposed he could sink his coffer-dams, make his excavations for the foundation of the locks, and have the necessary material on hand ready to go to work when ‘navigation closed, and I also told him that I thought the Canal Commis- sioners would not feel authorized to suspend navigation.” : “Tad the matter been discussed. at a meet- ing of the Board ?”” “No, sir, it had not, but I believe the Board would look at it as Ido. In the course of our conversation [ told the Mayor that I did not believe it would be necessary to close navisation, as it would take consid- erable time to get everything in readiness for work.’ ‘3 “What does the Mayor seem to think of the matter?” “Yie appears to be anxious to have pump- ing-works built as souu us possible in order to cleanse the river. 1 told hin, however, thatit would require four or five years to put the canal in shape for steamboat naviga= Hon and that the people should have relief before that time.” “Then you do not think that it will be necessary ty suspend navigation ?” “No, sir, Ido not, and T doubt very much. whether the city will be ready to proceed with the work at the close of navigation. . It will require 2 great deal of time to get the necessary material on the ground.” A * What occasioned your conversation with Mayor Harrison, Judge ?* “Tt was an article which appeared In an evening paper, in which the Mayor and the Canal Commissioners were id to be to blame for neglect in not going to work on the pumping-works. I couldn’t see how the Commissioners could very well take the money appropriated by the city and use It, and the conversation between the Mayor and myself then took place.” THE SUGAR POOL. Whe Recent Sharp Advance in the Price of Refined Sugars Condemned “by the General Trade—Charges of Using Adulterants Renewed. New York Star. There is still a lack of harmony im the dif- ferent branches of the sugar trade, and charges of malpractic®, the use of adulter- ants, and forming corners to limit production and raise the price of refined sugars. An at- tempt was made recently to have all refiners enter into an agreement to limit production on the basis of each agreeing to put in 3g of a cent a pound in a pool, and when one factory should shut down, not being. able longer to realize more than }g per cent for sugars for refining, or cent a pound on centrifugals, J¢ of g cent should be paid in lieu of ‘working. it is understood that the refiners who are now working together on a “pooling” arrange- ment are Havemeyer & Elder, Havemeyer. & Eastwick, F. O) Mathieson, Wieckers & Co., and the Brooklyn Refinery. ‘Chey claim tw manufacture five-eighths of all the sugars that are refiued in the country. Those who declined to join the “pool” were C. W. Du- rant & Son, Moller & Seierekes, and the North River Refining Company. ‘The'chief objection urged against such a “nooling of issues” as was proposed in the printed circular issued was that the large firms import their own sugars, and are able to save in the customs duties, by attending to their own business in lieu of employing brokers, between a quarter and one-half cent apound. ‘The refineries are now running at about 75 per cent of their full capacity, and as the protit increases on the advanced rates, it 1s expected that all the vats will be set at work and by overproduction a break in prices will take place. There are now about 60,000 tons more of raw sugars in the four principal ports than there were at the same time last year, and the recent advance in prices has been due alone to manipulation, and not from any natural eau ‘Raws are trom 1 to 144 cents higher th: ey were a short time.2zo0, aud refiners have advanced the prive of the manufactured article one cent x pound in the last three weeks, which, it is argued by conser ive dealers, is entirely too much to hold; and when the break does come, as come it must, serious losses will result. ‘The market has been taking refined sugurs freely, they assert, but trade is beginning to show signs of slug- gishness. Grocers, they say, are well stocked, and out-of-towil buyers ‘are getting suspi- ious; and those who use sugars largely for canning and other manufacturing purposes have laid in thely full supply, closing up & large avenne of trade. . * Grape sugar is entering largely, into the manufacture of refined “sugars,” said a reputable dealer, yesterday, “and is: being used in most of the refineries. It is not harmful, but, as it lacks sweetening po every pound of sugar sold as sugar, of w' 30 per cent is grape suger, is a fraud on the consumer. Lt is employed principally in the- manufacture of low gerade sugars. Other ingredients are being used in, some of the refineries. A lady friend of mine purchased alot of sugars bearing the brand of a wWeil- known refinery, 2_ few days a0, and after boiling it down for preserves a ue scum arose to the surface, and she was afraid to use it. A critical examination showed that it was indigo, which is employed by refiners to give the product a good color, and to make it look handsome.” When asked how this “pooling”? arrangement was re- viewed by the trade generally, he said: “ Tinporters, as x rule, are opposed to the ‘eombination? ‘They claim that it is eom- pelling the consumer to pay more for table sugars and the trade to sell raws for a low price, the object being to depress raw sugars and advance the price of the refined. These manufacturers new cease to prate about Biv: ing pure sugars to the poor man, and compel them to pay tribute to their coffers. ie only thing that will regulate the sugar tra and make it profitable for both importers an refiners, is to do away” with private ware- houses. ‘Three or four of the largest refiners buy their sugars in Cuba by the saren of 590 or 1,000 hogsheads, and have them landed at their private docks, from which all are excluded except Custom-House officers and employés. Here the sugars are examined and frequently passed at any number agreed upon, aba saving of & uarter to half a cent a pound, either on the Dutch standard or by John Sherman’s illegally: introduced. instru- ment called the polariscope. ‘They have been known recently to pass eight or ten cargoes under the new ‘Treasury regulations, testing and 96:96, with asaving of 4100 of 1 degree test. ‘I'iis made a difference in favor of the refiners of!

Ihave been in- formed that a movement is on foot to erect an immense bonded warehouse near acluster of refineries in Brooklyn on which to land sugars. Itisintended to get some distant relative to manage the warehouse and have. the sugars under control from the hour they arrive in port until they are boiled down and their identity lost. ‘The genetal feeling ernment has no-legal right to vermit the establishment of private ducks for landing imported sugars.” VAGABOND COMFORT. ._ For The Chicago Tribune.
