A GRAND SUCCESS. ‘The second paymentin the purses offered by the Chicago Driving Park, to be trotted for herein July, became due last Wedues- day, and the number that remained in the various events exceeds even the most san- guine anticipations. In the thirteen races priginally placed on the program there were the unprecedented number of 183 entries, and of these 155 have made the-second payment of 23g per cent, making 5 per cent of the en- trance money paid in for them, 2}4 per cent cent having accompanied each nominauon. ‘This makes it certain that the Chicago As- sociation is bound to getallits money back in entries, and that the meeting will be the greatest success ever known is beyond ques- tion. To show the results of the Chicago sys- tem the following tabulated statement is given. 1t should be borne in mind that 90 per cent of the horses yet in each race will start,and every one of them must pay 5 per cent oftne purse in addition tothe5 per cent already paid: Total .. 26 | In addition to, these races there is a stake for +year-olds and under, in which there were twelve’ entries, only one of whom has declared out.

DRIVING PARK MATINEE. . The matinée at the Driving Park yesterday ‘was attended by nearly one thousand people, who enjoyed three exceedingly good races, every event béing fought out on its merits. In the 2:27 class the graystallion Roger Han- gon won quite handily after a hard struggle in the first heat with Mollie Lyneh, trotting the final mile quite easily in 22214, his best previous record ‘being 2:28. Mollie Lynch pas improved greatly since being placed in Parsloe’s nands, not being able to beat 2:50 when he took her. The 2:40 race was capt- ured handily by Little Frank, who showed himself able to trot in 2:20, while the free- for-all fell to the Kentucky mare Blanche ‘Amory.

Although a great deal has been written about Iroquois since that colt won the Ep- som Derby last Wednesday, there are several matters of interest to the general public that have not been touched upon. In, the first place it may be stated that this was. the fourth time that an American colt has been started for the Derby, In 1860 Mr. Richard Ten Broeck sent Umpire, by Le- compte, out of Alice Carveal (Lexington’s dam), tg the post for the great event. Sev- enteen years later Mr. JL IL. Sanford started Brown Prince, by Lesington, dam imp. Bri- tannia 4th. Last year Mr. Lorillard started ‘Boreas, by Saxon, dam Nelly Gray, by Lex- ington. Neither of these horses xot a placé. ‘The sire of Iroquis was the imported horse Leamington, with whose history the readers of this paper are familiar, but in regard to his dam not so much is generally known. Mageie B. B.is by imp. Australian, out of * ‘Madeline, by Boston, and was bred by James ., Lexington, Ky., who sold her to jttle, of New York, who disposed ‘of her to Mr. Aristides Welch, of Philadel- phia, by whom she is still owned. <All of her produce up to 1880 were by Leammyton, Inaking them full brothers and sisters to Iro- quois, but Leamington died in 18%9, and since then the mare has been bred to Alarm. The full list of her produce is as follows: 1872—Ch. c. Lord Clive, by imp. Leamington, 1si3—L. f. Pera, by ditto. 28:4—Ch. c. Maznum Bonum, by ditto. | 1673—Jaconet, by ditty. i B. Clay, Mark A.

Lorillard, thinks Harold, own brother to Iroquois, the best colt he ever handled, but unfortunately Harold cor- tracted ‘the disease of bleeding at the nos when he made a great effort. Besides Mag- zie B. B., Madeline produced Income, the dam of Incommode; and Magnolia, by iinp. Glencoe, produced Magic, Madonna, Prince- ton, Charles Morgan, Hanover, Simon Ken- ton, and Skedaddle, by imp. Yorkshire; Made- dine, bs. Boston; Charley Ball, by Wagner; Kentucky, and Gilroy, by Lex- ington; and Victory, by Uncle Vic. These names are suflicient to indicate the great value of the family as the producer of first- S Face-horses. DETROIT. ._..

Crvcinnati, June 4.—Although not gen- erally known, it is a fact that Maud S, has been stopped in her work, and it is not im- probable that she will soon be sent back to Mr. Vanderbilt’s stable in New York. LOCAL TURF GOSSIP. There will be a trotting matinée at the Central Park track next Saturday. : Gray Cloud, driven by G. J. Fuller, went a half-mile at the Driving Park track the other morning in 1:09¢, Mr. William Ifamilton, of Flint, Mich., one of the best starting judges in the country, will officiate at the Chicago trotting meeting. The Breeders’ Trotting Stud Book was issued yesterday. Itis edited by Mr. J. H. Sanders, of this city, and is the most com- plete and valuable work of its kind ever produced. Piedmont was given a mile and repeat by his owner at the D iz Park yesterday, the first heat. being in 2:243¢ and the second in 2 The last half of the second mile was done in 1:09, and at no ,time was the horse fully extended. & Various improvements are being made at the Driving Park, the most notable of which are the building of steps along the entire front of the club-house, and the pla- cing of a permanent awning around theentire baleony of the same structure. _ Mr. IL V. Bemis has placed his young stall- ion Mambrino Sturges. by Mambrino Gift, in the stable of Matt Colvin for training, and he has already improved beyond the utmost expectations of his owner, and bids fair to equal his sire’s record of 2:20. Blanche Amory, the mare that won the free-for-all race at the matinée yesterday, has improved greatly since being placed in John- son’s han aml trotted a trial recently in 22214.

She had a ynile record of 2:28, and one of 5:12 at two miles. ‘The colt is doing well, another mare having been secured to suckle it, and has been named Orphan Tom. A Chicago gentleman is authorized to match the California stallion Santa Claus against any horse, mare, or selding in this country, two-mile heats, for $10,000 a side.

If they would like to makea aile heat race, to be trotted over the Chicago track any time within thirty days, the owner ofacertain Chicago stallion might accom- mudate them. TRACK TALK. One of the best young trotters that has been out this season is Alice Taylor, in Gus Glidden’s stable. She can beat 2:25. J.T. Williams’ stable of race-horses has Deen shipped to New York. Thelotincludes Checkmate, Valedictory, Little Phil, Ama- zon, and Vera Cruz. Adroit (full brother to Audax) died re- cently at the McGrath Farm, Kentucky. He was 2 years old, and bid fair to become a first-class race-horse. Milton Young, whose racing stable is now one of the strongest in the country, added to it last week the 2year-olds Monogram and Critic, which he purchased of Capt. Cottrill. Blue Grass Park, the oldest racing ground and breeding establishinent in Kentucky, has been broken upsince the death of its proprietor, A. Keene Richards, and the stock sent to Lexington. x thoroughbred horses were recently shipped from Kentucky to Japan, this being the second installment of blooded stock, pur- chased in_ this country by agents of the Japanese Government. Barbee, who was sent to England early in the seasole to ride for Mr. Pierre Lorillard in the spring ‘handicaps, has returned to this country, his work across the water having failed to give satisfaction. ‘There will be the usual large crowd and swapping of lies about how fast -the trotters are going at the Drivin: ark ¢elub-house to- day. .

The farmer fell on his back, and the horse instantly grabbed his face with his téeth, tearing off his right cheek. It then got on his’ breast on with its knees, and rearing ‘up and comin; down, crushed in his ribs and breast, ane continued to bite at his face and head until finally beaten off with clubs by other mem- bers of the family. A physician was sent for, but arrived only in time to see the old gentleman breathe his last. THE DERBY. Anecdotes and Incidents In Connectio} with the Great Race. : New York World. Never since, on Thursday, May 4, 1780, the first Derby was run for—it was regarded as of so little consequence that few even of the few papers then pubdlished noticed it, and the first published record of it appeared in an evening journal of the ensuing Saturday— has there been & Derby on which so much attention is concentrated as on that to be de- eided to-day. Within a few minutes after “the earthquake shout of victory” has been raised at Epsom the telegraph wires—which have replaced the cloud of carrier-pigeons. that used to darken the air—will have made an end of the hopes and fears of sporting-men alt over the - English-speaking world from London to Melbourne and San Francisco. No race has so interesting a history—even for the non-sporting reader —and it isa little curious that it has never found a competent historian. English liter- ature, art, and history testify to the inipor- tance of the great contest. The spectacle of the quarterof a million of people on the Surrey Downs is one to which the attention of the intelligent foreigner in England is very properly drawn by all English writers, and which many an intelligent foreigner has analyzed and described, not to mention for- eigners less intelligent who have celebrated Milord Williams driving to Epsom behind his chestnut mare with which he had thrice won the Derby Stakes! Scientists have studied the phenomenon of the flush which colors amyriad of gazing faces during the running and instantly changes to a percepti- ble pallor as the result becomes apparent. Lord Palmerston,—himselffa turfman,—when Premier in 1857, moved an adjournment “over the day on which our *isthmian games’ are celebrated,” a name which has clung to the race like that of “the blue riband of the turf” applied to it by Mr. Dis- raeli. ‘Then there is the old story of Lord Clifford, who took his seat after the passage of the Catholic Emancipation act, exclaiming apologetically, after two motions made by him to discuss a certain quéstion firston a Wednesday and then on a Friday had been greeted by successive cries uf “Derby! Der- Dy ?? and ** Oaks! Oaks!” that owing to his foreign education he was not familiar with the festivals of the English calendar. Even better is the story of Dr. Pluntre, of Oxford, the “F. P2? of Verdant Green”—who questioned suspicious y an_ undergraduate who had asked for.a leave of absence. “Of course, Mr. Duffer, you .are not going to Derby?” “No, sir; Dim x if to Epsom.” “Very well, Mr. Duffer, in that case you may have leave.” The Derby holiday, how- ever, threatens soon to be a thing of the past in Parliamentary annals. In 1878 the notion for adjournment was carried by 225 to 65. Last r, when Sir Wilfred Lawson led the opposition, the vote was 285 to 117, and. the composition of the minority made it evi-, dent that at no distant day it may become a majority, to the chagrin of foreigners and the discredit of Great Britain, In about one year out of three the favorit wins the Derxy. The second year is usually taken by a good horse not uttite first favorit. «The third year is the outsider’s chance. Long ago when the fields were small and the horses as a rule were well known, there was not much chance for a great hit; nevertheless in 1786 Noble started at 30 to 1, and in 1817 Azor at50to1. When, -in 1808, Pan, starting at 25'to 1, unexpected! came in Victor, Sir H. Williamson was ehal- lenged to another race with the second S horse, the Duke of _Grafton’s Van- dyke, for 710,000 guineas, but the shrewd North Country Baronet merely slapped his plethoric pocket and replied “Pan's woon and [se content!” Ie had Janded £10,000, the first heavy winning ever made on 2 Derby. People look for foul weather on a Derby Day, but in 1820 the ap- propriately named Sailor, by Scud, won in a tornado that laid the tents prostrate and un- roofed the booths. [t was worse in 1839, when Bloomsbury won in a snow-storin, and in 1867, when Hermit ran through snow, hail, and rain, Lapdog in 1826 si arted a to 1, Frederick in 1829 at 40, Spaniel in 1831 at50, and Dangerous, two ‘years Iter, at 30 tol. The end of the second and beginning of the third decade.of_the century, however, wwere nore prolific of -sensations thin of honesty. In 1827 Lord Jersey’s stable ran first and second with Mameluke anu Glen- artney, a feat previously performed in 1790 by Lord Grosvenor with manthus paragus. When, in 18%: idsdale’s iles won, every horse in the field of twenty-two except Mr. Vausittart’s Perion, who ran second, had been made safe, & wholesale transaction eclipsing that for the Chester Cup in Red Deer's year, when every jockey in the race had been’ put, on the win- ner £50 to nothing. Robert Ridsdale, who had been a footman in the Earl of Durham’s service, landed £47,000 on St. Giles, but it did not last him Jong, as a racing-stud. to say nothing of a hundred head of blooded stock end a lavish hospitctity in which the meanest tipple was “claret with a bouquet like a bed of violets,” speedily ruined the too-fortunate footman, and he died ina garret with three balfpence in his pocket. To him succeeded John Gully and Harry Hill,— Gully heing the pugilistic M. P. for Ponte- fract. In 1885 Ridsdale levanted at the set- ting over Queen of Trumps for the St. Le- er, and Gully and Harry Hill succeeded to his place of pride. It was said then that there were three hills in course, and_ that. ‘the ‘hardest of the three was - Harry Hill at the finish. In 1834 Plenipotentiary won. In the words of Sam Chifney, bis rider, he “came down the hill from Tattenham Corner in three strides.” His delighted owner forgave a year’s rent to all his tenants, In 1639 Blooms- ury won,—a_ horse ever since known as “The Old ’Un.” Several other winners have been suspected of being over age, but the case ngainst Bloomsbury was particular- ly strong. Bloomsbury’s title was chal- lenged, nowever, ‘by Deception, the secoud horse in the race, not on the ground of age, but of doubtful paternity. In 1810 a terrible pot was upset by the victory of Little Won- der. ‘The backers had already suffered by the victories in 1887, 1858, and 1839 of Phos- phorus, Amato, and Bloomsbury, who had started at 40, 30, and 25 to 1. Launcelot, ac- cording to the slate, could not possibly lose, and great was “ Black Bill” Scott’s horror when the pony came sailing past him, “ A. thousand for a puil, Mac!” was his ery; but with a calm, “ It can’t be done to-day, Mr. Scott!”? Macdonald defeated him and won the. gold whip which the Queen and Prince Albert, then in their. honeymoon, awarded for the most successful jockey. In 1841 the most phenomenal fact was the back- ing for some millions of dollars, down to as low rates as seven and eight to one, of a horse in the stable of John Scott, the Duke of Wellington, which had never left the sta- Die since the preceding November. Eighteen hundred and forty-four was the year of the attempted Running Rein fraud, the parties to which had arranged that they should be represented by two 4-year-old colts, Running Rein and Leander, which were to run. first and second. 1f the second did not complain, who was to raise a valid objection,—a point which came out a year azo, when, the three first horses being disqualified, the judge declared that he had not “placed” the fourth, though there were but four, horses in the race. Unfortunate- ly, in 1844 Leander was knocked down and killed, and Col. Peel, whose Orlando ran second, raised a row, when the defense re- fused to submit Running Rein to an exam- inatfon, and on digging up Leander it was found that his head was gone. In 1845 Merry Monarch never would have won if The Libel had not knocked “Nat” Flatman and Mr. Greville’s Alarm over the ropes. A year, later Pyrrhus the First won through more’ than an accident. |“ Black. Bill’? Scott had already won the Two Thousand Guineas on acoltof his own rearing.—Tipthorpe, chris- tened Sir 1 won the ¢ (then Maj. Horace Pitt), “ Assasin” Smyth, and others watched the horse carefully, boil- ing every drop of water for his use, and keeping his owner and rider under guard. All went well till tive minutes before the start, when a man lured Scott into tak- ing “a drink, and drugged bon, He went crazy within five minutes. His backers and hisson even meditated unhorsing him by foree and replacing him by Edwards, but legal advice was against such’ heroic. action, Scott was crazy with the drug (administered by aman who‘afterwards died in a ditch) and after parading before the grand stand ans Joudly avowing his. intention of “ breaking the —~-—— who were betting against him,” might have won and certainly would have won if he had not stopped at the send-off “to exchange compliments with the starter.” As it was, he was barely beaten. Several “agonizing times” were experienced, both by backers and fielders, at this plunging era, as when John Day laid against Gaper at 106 to 1 for nearly $1,000,000, and had to squeeze out at a ruinous price, lacking the nerve of the Leviathan Davis, who bet £100,000 to £1,000 against Van der Meulin for the Derby and saw the horse start at 6 to 1 without hedging. : The next close thing was in 1855, when Frank Butler just landed West . australian, though the winner’s hoofs had been so ten- der that for weelis he had stood in wet clay. An 1854 Andover manaxea to beat the mighty King Tom, whose statue in bronze, by the foremost of contemporary artists, stands at Mentmore. Next year Mr. Popham won the Derby with Wild Dayrell, the only racehorse he ever owned. His groom bought Wild Dayrell’s dam in his absence and mated her with the almost unknown lon, and dain and colt were sold and only bought back through aceident. Yet over Wild Dayrell’s nativity the fates presided. Ducks roosted in quick- set hedges, a sight for Roman augurs, let alone British grooms, and the old butler,— fuddled, perhaps,—insisted on wheeling the shivering foul up to the kitchen fire in a bar- row with his own august hands, so as to say -that he had carried a Derby winner. A Derby winner the little thing proved to be. A. year later Ellington won in the slowest time ever recorded, yet. had behind him—so terrible was the track—one of the finest fields that ever started. In 1862 Caractacus, starting at 40101, won the Derby from his betters, ‘The Marquis and Buckstone, and a year later Macaroni was hailed winner through an ac- cident. Lord Stamford (who has just re- turned to the turf) had_in the last of the issue of the mighty Pocahontas, Automaton, a-eolt that had been proved the superior of Macaroni in their 2-year-old form, and was in perfect condition within a week of the race, Almost on the eve of the Derby the colt ran away in the hands of a stable-boy, and, plunging into a railroad cutting, broke his neck. Few people know the inside his- tory of the victury of Blair Athol—he was nained Biair Athole—in 1864. The same party controlled liim and Gen. Peel, winner of the ‘Two Thousand, and it was arranged that Blair Athol was, after all the public money had been placed on him, to be beaten in a “trial,” and scratched, when the party would Jand all that had been Inid on him and ail that had been laid against Gen.

Detroit Free Press: “ The Life-Saving Stations at Chicago, Sheboygan, Ludington, and Manis- tee are about to be furnished with Rumsey’s pa- tent two-brake, five-inch cylinder force-pumps, each of which will be furnished with twenty feet of suction-pipe and fifty feet of improved hose. Tne pumps are to be used in case of tire at the stations or on board ot vessels. They can also be used effectively in the case of 8 vessel Jenking, as they will discharge about 230 g alions of water per minute.” RATHER HEAVY TOSS. Detroit’Free Press: ‘The scow Clara, Capt. Phii Ellery, brought a cargo of coal to the Onio & Pennsylvania wharf afew daysago. When the scow was loaded, the Captain was surprised to find that the cai consisted of only 137 tons, whereas she usually carried 200 fons on the same draught of water. He therefore deter- mined to have the coal weighed as it was taken out. When 137 tons bad been discharged the scow still contained abont sixty tons of ber cargo. The Company allowed the Captain treight on 200 tons.”” THE SAULT CANAL. Toronto Mail: “Complaints are made that tolls arestiil coliected of vessels passing through the Sault Canal, although the necessary papers forthe transferof the canal have been made out for several weeks, and nothing is required but a representative of tha Government to whom tho canal may be turned over.” IN A PROSPEROUS CONDITION.

The debtors’ department of the County Jail is always an. interesting place to visit. Here are incarcerated not only those unfortunates whom a soulless creditor bas plunged into the cooler, but also the high-toned among those who arc under indictment. The occupunts of this de- partment are allowed a somewhat casicr time than is accorded to ths general run of the jails occupants, and as a ger rule they are, so- cially, deserving of the distinction. The law of the State of Illtnols gives a creditor 4 very arbi- trary power ‘over a debtor whom be bas suc- ceeded in incarcerating. All be bas to do, once he bas placed him in jail, is to pay the Shoriff tor his bourd, which done, he can keep him there until. the debt is paid. | If the debtor is unable to pay the debt, and tho creditor is able to pay toe voaru, it is merely a question of how long the creditor chooses to conti nue doing so.- At the present time there are only two debtors confined in the Cuok Coun- ty Jail. One of these is a young man named Henry Black, who, having gotten on the wrong side ofa horse-dealer named Russell, found himself incarcerated in the Jail as a debtor, this, too, though all the circumstances gv to show that he was by no means the sharper of the two in the equine dicker. ‘The other debtor fs Matthew Ecott, the Sec- retary of the Canadian ‘Trust & Agency Compa- ny (limited), of Moutreal, who was thrown into jail in April, 1880, by that concern, from which he had embezaled some $1,410. The Com- pany bad him arrested -bere in April of last year, but, not being able to prove any- thing more than a breach of trust againat their employé, bud him arrested for debt and lodged in the County Jail.
