COWARDLY GUARDS. 1: *Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Erxeston, June 18.—Yesterday morning Chief Keeper Cooper and four guards of St. ‘Vincent de Paul Penitentiary started for the penitentiary here with thirty-three convicts. They made: constant efforts to break their shackles, and at last. one little man broke Ivose. He was rebound and again broke Joose, Jumping through the window. The tralu was stopped and he was pursued for half a mile, but he escaped. All was now confasivn, and ‘foor more got free by the time Brockville was reached,- the num- ber being increased to seven in all before Kingston was reached. Mr. Cooper tells the following story: “At 6 o’elock Friday we left St. Vincent De Paul Penitentiary with thirty-one men and two women convicts, bound for the Kingston Penitentiary. Matters were quiet till the convents uear Montreal were reached, when Inoticed that a number of the convicts had released their hands. After changing cars I noticed that more of them had removed their irons, At first there was no apparent dan- ger, and not until Cornwall was reached were the escapes attempted.’ After passing that place they demanded whisky, which was refused. They then proceeded to create a disturbance, snupping their chains that bound them, also slipping the cuffs from thelr wrists, using soap which they ob- tained by some mysterious means for this purpose. They held one another's arms while they pulled off the handeuffs, and in some cases tore the skin from the back of their hands and knuckles. ‘The guards aboard the train, to the number of five, en- deavored to prevent these proceedings, but failed. Indeed they were repeatedly pounced upon, and hand-to-hand encounters ensued. The convicts said every guard would be mur- dered before they would remain five years in the Kingston Penitentiary. Others said they preferred death to living in the Penitentiary. The excitement was most intense, and the seven guards, in- eluding Mr. Allen, and myself were in a bad position,thirty-one desperate men to com- ‘bat with seven! Every attempt made by the guards to rehandcuff the men was unsuc~ cessful. Near Mill Roche, between Cornwall and Dickinson’s Landing, while a fight was proceeding, one of the convicts, named Chapute, smashed 2 window near the end of the car, and, in the twinkling of an eye, shot through it. He was seen to fall on his back, pick himself up, and run away. Theexpress was stopped, and two ‘guards were dispatched to capture him. He was ehased for upwards of half amtle, but was not secured. The guards were afraid to pur- sue him further, fearing that their comrades in the train would be murdered. Again the train started, and the disturbance was re newed. ‘The guards were afraid to use their firearms, as the convicts had apparently the upper hand of them. The latter used the iron cuffs and also their heavy heeled boots. To quiet them one shot was fired, but this only infuriated the convicts the more, and they said if the revolvers were used In they would kill the whole escort, Terrible oaths were used. The twu female fonvicts begged and pleaded for quietness, but were rebuked and cursed at, At Morris- burg two more: convicts named Adams and Laberge jumped from the windows, followed shortly atterward by Giroux who bolted at Aultsville, The situation me awfully Serious to us at Edwardsburg. A. telegram was dispatched to Brockville for a body of - police to be on hand well armed. At Brock- sille we were joined by three officers. ‘When they step; aboard the train we were encoura; and the men became more desperate, As we .neared Mallory- tewn another man named Bienvert, succeeded in getting away. At Gauanoque aconvict named Barrivan escaped im a simi- Jar way. Between Gauanoque and Kingston B most desperate fight occurred. As the Journey’s end was being nenred, the convicts seemed prepared to do or die. Up and down the cars they chased the- guards, and pum- meled them severely. 1 undertook, and suc- ceeded after a great struggle, to handcuff one Robinson, a third-termer, but he snapped. the chains like a pive-stem, and then struck me heavily several times. At Batlantyne Sta- tion the seventh and last man, Dailor, jumped out. It is thought he was Injured, as, after falling, he was seen to raise himselfup and then fall back into a heap on the track. Finally Kingston was reached, and the balance of the men were safely land- inthe Penitentiary here. I have assisted the delivery of upwards of 600 convicts in Kingston, but never had I such a time of it.” BRockvILiE, Ont., June 18.—Two of the escaped convicts were seen at Morristown, N. a opposite Brockville, this morning. The one that jumped from the window of thecar, heud first, at Ballantye’s stattion, Zot badly mashed, and was taken in charge by e sectionmen, — THE GLOBE COMPANY. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Bostoy, June 18.—The affairs of the Glope Company reached a crisis to-day when Col. Berney, the President and Manager, surren- dered himself to the police, who have had warrants for his arrest since Thursday. He has been in town ever since, and it is clear the officers did not think a case could be made cut against him, as no effort was made to effect his capture. The complaint is that he induced a New Hampshire man to purchase 100shares of preferred Treasury stock by Tepresenting that the Company owned thirty Patent rights for new and valuable inven- tions; that it had already gained from the use of these inventions a net profit of $316,- 000; that the Company had then already made contracts for the use of the inventions, the net profits from which would be sufiicient to gaurantee dividends of 10 percent per annum Upon the capital stock for eight years; that the Company then owned a patent-rignt for the manufacture of an Invention for burning antliracite-coal dust on locomotive engines. Berney has given bail, and threatens libel sults against newspapers and individ- tals. It is -expected, however, that ether stockholders will bring charges against Berney, who, according to his own Satement, holds $400,000 worth of property ‘owned by the 480 stockholders. Of the twen- tythree patents specifically claimed by the Globe Company, there were fifteen to which it had no claim previous to May 30. This covers the whole period, lacking three days, during which the stock ‘was being put on the market. Nine additional patents have since transferred to the Company, making Seventeen in all. The Company’s claim to own patents, giving it a monopoly of coal- dust “burning .locomotives, are not and Rever- have been in the’ possession of the Globe Company. ‘The officers who have Succeeded in bri the case into court have been obliged to overcome great difficul ties, ‘and some idea of the labor involved may be gnined from the fact that for nearly five weeks four detectives have given the matter their constant attention. In making Out a case of false pretenses it is necessary One or more individuals who wilt go into court and swear that they were induced to Bae itn their money by false representa- of tie accused persons, Jt was not un- til this week that any of.the Globe C stockholders could be found who, would do A MOST BRUTAL MURDER, Spectal Dispatch to The Chteaoo Trdune. Lirrie Rock, Ark., June 18.—To-day Gov. Churchill issued a:proclamation offering $509 reward for the arrest and conviction of ‘each person implicated in the murder of Frank Peerse. The crime was committed {it Polk County, June 15, 1880. The victin wasa 16- year-old boy who had incurred the dis- pleasure of cartain parties whom he caught robbing a turkey-trap in the neighborhood of his mother’s cabin, These men persecuted the entire family, arresting the boy and his sister on a charge of horse-stealing. ‘The Peerses were poor. but honest, and their suf- fering at the hands of desperadoes was cruel in the extreme, aid, as given by the mother to Gov. Churchill, and corrobor- ated by reputable witnesses, reads more like fiction than the horrible truth which {t has Proven to be. -Frank was seized at length while crossing the mountain by a gang of men, who hung him and then riddied his body with bullets, throwing it on a brush- heap in the woods as food for buzzards. Mrs, Peerse, after a patient search, found the corpse and gave it burial. She describes the Scene in a weirdly pathetic manner, adding it God only knew her thoughts as she stood beside. the dead body. of her darling son, her only stay and coinfort in this world, in the mldst of the desolate forest. Abvut twelve men are implicated in the murder, ‘They are known, and it is thought that justice will be administered to one’ and all o Fi certaluly the tnost brutal -binoded murder as ever - curred within the State, gs ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. Speetat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Sr. Pavt, Minn., June 18.—A Ptoneer- Press special from Anoka says that for sev- eral days past grave suspicions have been felt that the death of the Rey. Father Hayes and his brother was not the result of an. ac- cident. The brothers were known to have between $500 and $600 in currency and coin on their persons at the time of their lament- able death,: while only. $2 could be found. Strong circumstantial evidence Pointed to one Patrick Lyons, arailroad man, of lowa, who, it will be remembered, ac- companied one of the brothers on his visit to Minnesota. Suspicion culminated to-day in the arrest of Lyons In this city as he was de- parting for home, In his trunk was found a jarge portion of the wearing apparel of the late Jereinfah Hayes, but no money. On being closely questioned he admitted hav- taken a §20 gold piece from the pocket of Jeremiah, which he produced, but denied anything further. It is believed that he has all the funds abstracted trom the dead bodies secreted, and it is further be- Heved by the best informed persous now that foul play Isat the bottom of the terrible affair, and that heis guilty of a heinous crime. Lyons lies in”our county jail awaiting fur- ther developments, This “news is creating an intense excitement in tunis city to-night, A HORRIBLE SUSPICION. Kansas City, Mo., June 18.—The number of dead bodies found in the Missouri’ River at this point recently has given rise toa suspicion that there is an organized band of thugs at work at some point on the river above here. A few days ago the body of a young woman, entirely nude, was taken out of the current. Yesterday the headless body. of ao man was found fioat- ing, and to-day the body of } aman with his throat ent from ear to ear was found floating a few miles below the city. Previous to the finding of these evi- dences of foul play, several other bodies Were taken from the river in this vicinity. The body of. the man found to-day wus dressed in black, with nothing to identity hin but abandkerchief marked in one cor- ner with the Initials “E. ¥ er corner the letter * K.”” .”? and in anoth- one of the bodies found have been identified, MASSACHUSETTS STATE-PRISON. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribunce Bosron, Mass., June 18.—The frequent se- rious breaches of discipline at the State- Prison have led to.a demand for Warden Chamberlain’s resignation and the appoint- ment of CoL Earle, of Worcester, in his plece. The charges against Gen. Chamber- Jain allege that, by his indiscriminate meth- ods of punishment and Indiscreet policy otherwise, the condition of the prisoners is bad; that they have become dogged, and pos- sessed of a spirit of indifference, carelesness, and in some instances reckless desperation. Col. Earle served with distinction during the War, and is highly recommended for the po- sition by Senator Hoar, Judge Devens, and others. = MURDERED. Morniixtowy, Ark., June 18.—It has just been learned that a murder was committed at Chismville on Friday last, the particulars of which, as near a5 we could learn, are as. follows: Last Friday night,-after Mr. Nobles and his son had retired, some unknown per- son fired into the window of the. bedroom which they were occupying, the ball taking effect in the brain of young Nobles, killing him almost instantly. It is thought the as- sasin intended to haveshot the old man, The good people inand around Chismville have been losing no time in trying to appre- hend the guilty party, having arrested J. B, Vise on suspicion as perpetrator of the deed. sUsTICE. Spéctal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, SrittwatTen, Minn., June 18.—This morn- ing B. F. Stanley, the Afton schoolmaster who was found guilty of seducing Julia Bolles, oneof his pupils, was brought into court for sentence, and, in an impressive manner, the Judge sentenced him to ten years in the Penitentiary. He took the sen- tence very hard, and. was very much agi- tated, while his wife broke down completely. Public sympathy is against Stanley. The people consider the sentence none too heavy. ‘The fact that he was a married man at the time of the offense intensities the feeling: against him, AN OLD TRICK. CLEVELAND, O., June 18.—A package of money amounting to $3,000 was stolen from the safe at Maher & Brayton’s foundry this afternoon. ‘The bookkeeper had drawn the amount an hour before and deposited it in the safe, locking the door, but leaving the key inthe lock. The theft was committed while he was outside talking toa man ina buggy, who called him out on pretense of bems too lame to comein. He is: supposed to have been an accomplice, and the police are looking for him. ————— JOURNEYMEN BAKERS, A mass-meeting of German journeymen bak- | ers was held last night at Klare’s Hall. About 150 were present; Gustav Eschenbach presided. ‘The meeting perfected the permanent organiza- tion of the Chicago Bakers’ Union, No.1, by electing the following officers: Prosident.

HINDON AND CRICKMORE, The past week was. made a notable one In racing circles from the fact that it brought to- gether in arace the two best 3-year-olds in the country, and demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt that in Hindoo the Dwyers havea colt that holds at his mercy all the important 3-year-old stakes of the sea- son. When Hindoo came out last season and won all his engagements in the South, and Supplemented these performances by captur- ing the Criterion and Tremont-House Stakes at Chicago, running .he distance in the first- named event—three-fourths of a mile—in 1:15, it was conceded that he was the peer of any horse of his age in che country; and at the close of the Cuicago meeting a reserve price of $2),000 was placed upon him by his owner, Mr, D. Swigert. Hindoo was then sent to Kentucky.and turned out, but later in the season, witha change of trainers, shipped East, and at Saratoga was beaten by Crick- more and Bonnie Lizzie for the Windsor- Hotel Stakes, and three days later was second to Thorain the Day Boat Line Stakes. He was then suld to the Dwyers for $15,000, and Tan no more that season. Crickmore was also an unusually success- ful colt in his 2 year-old form, being beaten but once, ‘and then when he was evidently out of condition. This year Hindoo started out in the most brilliant mauner, traveling from New York to Kentucky early in the season, where he won the Blue-Ribbon Stakes at Lexington, the Kentucky Derby and Clark Stakes at Louisville, and, return- ing to New York, captured a couple of purse races at Jerome Park. Crickmore was equally successful, winning the I1ome-Bred Stakes at Baltimore and the Withers at Jerome Park, so that when it was certain both colts were to start in the Tidal Stakes at Coney Island speculation upon the result was exceedingly. active. The Maryland sports were exceedingly confident that Crick- more would repeat his victory of last year over Hindoo, while the friends of the latter deemed him invincible when opposed by anything of his age. The result was the fiercest betting seen for many a day; Hindoo bringing $700, Crickmore $450, and saunterer —the only other starter—$30. ‘The race was run last Thursday. ‘Lhe track, as described by a genueman who was present, was “a layer of stiff mud,” and, in consequence of this fact, fast time was not expected, al- though the distance, one mile, was known to be that at which both colts were capable, un- der favorable circumstances, of doing their very best. ‘The following graphic deserip- tion of this race will be read with interest: Hindoo isa rich durk bay, a little above me- dium hight, and of superb proportions for Strength, speed, and staying force. He was quiet at the start,—compused with the con- sciousness of power. His mane was bruided with gay ribbons. On his buck sat “Jimmy” McLaughlin in the bright culors of the Dwyer Brothers, proud of bis horse and confident of the result. Crickmore is tall and arrow, long- legged and light, a * peacocky” borse, like Per- egtine, of England. He bas a tremendous stride, and is capable. of wonderful bursts of speed, as he bas shown repeatedly. As to his Ability to go a long distance, sticking to bis work all the way, there is sume doubt, He {3 a lighter bay than Hindoo, big-boned, and angu- Jar,—not a handsome horse to look at, but a guod one to go. Feukes wason his buck. The wyers remarked before the ruce that, if their coli should be beaten, they could give no ex- cuse, as he was in the best trim possible. Crick .| more has been a little “otf” purt of the season. He ig fretful, pervous, and ex- citable, and often refuses ‘bis food. After the Withers he was ailing. und may have been a Ittle short of work. His trainer declured him all right, however, aud he madea grext mice. but Hindoo ‘made a greater. The Muryland horse danced about hotly before the start, and his owner, as be watched/his ficry prancing, said oulmly, “That's bad for my horse.” Atter 8 iittie delay, due to Crickmore’s nervousness, the three dashed off evenly. Suunterer shot to the front, and going around the turn in the first quarter led by a length, with Crickmore second, wlength before Hindoo. Saunterer made the gap wider in the next half furlony, getting two Jengths in front of Crickmore, but at the quar- ter-post Crickinore was again almost at his flank, with Hindoo a length behind. Saunterer was not allowed taactas ieader long. In the next half-furlong both the others caught bim, ‘As the three raced for half a furlong heud and herd the excitement rose, and shuuts and cheers were beard. Stride by stride they raced along, but Hindvo began to creep away, and at the half-mile post be had bis head in front of Crickmore, with Saunterer hulf a length be- hind. Now Hindoo ‘and Crickmore -vere muk- ing the pace too bot for Saunterer, and he fell buck fast. The two leaders ran at top speed for the next quarter, and inch by inch Hindoo gained. 1t was slow work, but it was sure. A quarter-mile trom the ond Crickmore wus only at his shoulders. So they swung into the home- stretch. Feakes raised his whip. Gov. Bowie was keenly watching every leap of bis bor: “As he saw the jockey's arm go up he sald, cu: ly: “I'm beat.” He was right. The race w: over, Alt Crickmore's efforts under whip and spur could not force hiw any neurer Hindoo's head. The pace had been killing. Without a touch of cord or steo! Hindoo ran in, three- fourths of a length before Crickmore, the un- questioned champion of the ¥-year-olds of ‘America. He bad conquered his most formida- blo antagonist. The time was britliant, 1:4333,— wonderful for aheavy track with 118 pounds up. Hindoo bid won, and he bad won easily. But bo had had the greatest race of his life. FOXNALL. Foxhall, the American colt owned by J. R. Keene, that won the Grand Prix de Paris last Sunday, is named after Keene’s son, and was foaled April 21, 1878, at Mr. A. J. Alexander’s Woodburn Stud, Woodford County, Ken- tucky. Hewas selected and bought for $050 when a yearling on June 18, 187, by Col. S. D. Bruce, of New York City, acting as the agent of Mr. Keene. In breeding Foxhall is just a triflemore American than Iroquois. Heisby King Alfonso, out of Jamaica, the property of Zeb Ward. He was her first colt, she hav- ing been foaled in 1871. She was by Lexing- ton, out of Fanny’ Ludiow, by imported Eclipse, and her dam was Mollie Jackson, who was bred by Mr. Francis Morris, of New York, she being by Vandal, out of Emma Wright, by imported Margrave. That Fox- hallcomes of a “tough ” faimily will be under- stood when it is remembered that Monday, the sire of Mollie McCarthy, the famous Cali- fornia mare, was ason of this same Hennie Farrow. On the sire’s sido Foxhall is a little more English; hissire, King Alfonso, is by imported Phaeton, he by the late Baron Rothschild’s famous King Tom, out of Merry Sunshine, she by Storm, her dam by Fal- staff, Phaeton was imported by Mr. Ten B.oeck, but unfortunately was not appre- ciated until after he was dead, he getting but few good mares, among which was Capitola, by Vandal, out of a mare by imported Mar- grave, her dam Mistletoe, by Cherokee. King Alfonso himself was a_very fair racehorse. In 1873 he won the Kentucky St. Leger, when he beat Ten Broeck. Ie also won the Galt House Stakes, two-mile heats; but he was retired from the turf when he was in his prime, Mr. Alexander buying him from Mr. Swigertfor a large sum, for. which he has been amply repald. ‘After Foxhall’s purchase by Mr. Keene he remained in Kentucky until Feoruary, 1880, when, in company with other purchases, he was brought to New York, and on March 6 was shipped to Liverpool on the Helvetia, of the National Line. At that time the Turf said: “‘ He isa wonderfully fine colt, of ini- mense power in his back, hip, and quarters, with as fine_ a shoulder as could be found. He stands 15 hands 134 inches and weighs 935 pounds. lis dam was never trained, but. his granddam, Fanny Ludlow, was # very speedy and fine r: mare, and the third heat of three miles by his great granddam Mollie Jackson in 5:283{ has never been equaled.” The whole consignment arrived at Liver- pool safe and were, at once sent to Mr. Jo- seph Dawson’s care at Newmarket, They excited much favorable comment among the Newmarket .critics, but the’ death of Mr. Dawson prevented them -doing much until late in the season. Mr. Sherrard, as the suc- cessor of Mr. Dawson, then acted as trainer, a posinon he still fills, no doubt to the satis- faction of Mr. Keene and a’ dozen or more Englisn owners, including Mr. Crawfurd, Sir John Astley, Sir George Chetwynd, Mr. 'T. V. Morgan, the Marquis ot Exeter, and the Earl of March. Foxhall’s performances have been as follows: 1880. NewMAREET, Oct. 13.—Won Bedford Stakes over Bretby Stakes Gouras, beating Lord Rose-~ bery’s Myra, Mr. Jardine'’s Ishmael, and Mr. Craven's: Stynheer, each carrying 122 pounds; the betting was 8to 1 agaiost Foxhall; he won by a head; value. 2175. NEWMARKET, Oct. 11.—Second for the Ashlay Stukes over the Rous Course to Lord Rosebery's Savoyard, both carrying 122 pounda, with three others bebind them: butting 4to1 cach against Foxhill and Savoyard; won by three-quarters of a length. F NEWMARKET, Oct. £3.—Won Bretby Nu: Handicap over Dretby Stake Course, carrying top weight. 124 pounds. beatin a Held of seven- een; bet S against Fo: 3 We heud; valued ep bye ; 1881. - Epsom, April 27.—Second for the City ana Sub- urban, a mile and aquurter, to Bend Or, at 126 pounds, Foxhall carryimg 92 pounds; twenty- two others behind them; Letting 3 tol against Foxhall; won by a length and » bait. Paurs, Juno 12,—First for the Grand Prix de Paris, a mile and seven turlongs, Tristian seo- ond, Albion third; seven others ran; betting 2 to 1 against Foxhall; won by balf a length. Ascor, Jnne 1é.—Fourtb for the Gold Cup, two and u half miles, to Robert the Devil, Petrone, and Exeter. Ever since Foxhall won the Bretby Nursery Handicap he has stund very high In the opin- ion of a majority of the turf writers and local critics at Newmarket, some of them as early aslast February declaring him to be the best 3-year old at Newmarket, and re- gretting that he had not been entered for the Guineas, Derby, and St. Leger, for which some writers in this country have held the English trainer responsible, No one {s to blame for that omission but Mr. Keene him- self, or his advisers, whoever they be. Prob- ably as the colt was only bought about the middle of June, 1879, and the entries for the Derby and St. Leger had to-be made early in the July following, the date stipped by and no attention was given the fact until it was too late. Foxnallisin the Summer Cup at Newmarket in July, the distance being three iniles four furlongs and 139 yards. For the autuinn meetings he is in the Grand Duke Michael Stakes “Across the Flat” qauring the first October meeting. ‘The Select Stakes over the Rowley Mile and the Great Chal- lenge Stakes over the Bretby Stakes Course atthe second October meeting, for which Rovert the Devil and other’ “cracks” are among tue entries, it being a weight forage stake with penalties. Foxhall has also sev- eral engagements next year, including the Prince of Wales Stakes over the Cesarewitch Course at the Newmarket first spring meet- ing, and the Hurdwicke Stakes at Ascot. THE CONEY ISLAND RACES, ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, New Yorn, June 18.—The crowd that as- sembled on the course of the Coney Island Jockey Club exceeded to-day any ever seen before at a like resort in this country. About the pooling and bookmakers’ stands locomo- tion’ was very dificult, the spectators pushing and edging their way to get the money on _ their favorlts.. The weather was delightful, and the track in superb condition, so that very fast tlme was made in each of the six contests. The great magnet of the day was the struggle for the Coney Island Cup, and there was in- tense excitement during the time it was run, especially toward the end of the race, when it was scen that the hither- to invincible Luke Blackburn was beaten, as well as such great horses as Parole, Mon- itor, and Uneas, by an outsider, Glenmore, who has been running at Brighton Beach ail the season. It was singular that the Bright- ou Beach horses won the two first races of the day, and that another ~ one, Krupp Gun, gained second place” in the third. It was abad day for the favorits, and, in consequence, the winning tickets in the mutual pool paid Jargely,—on the first race $181.65, on the second $59, on third $15.70, on the fourth $10, on the fifth $44.30, and on the — sixth . $11.50, The grand struggle of the day was for the Coney Island Cup, for all ages, a sweepstakes of $50, half forfeit, with $150. added, the second to receive $300 out of the stakes, two miles and aquarter, Of the thirty-seven neminations five sported colors—viz.: George L. Lorillard, eh, g. Monitor, 5 years old, by Glenelg, out of Minx, 118: pounds (Mayward); Pierre Lorillard’s b. g. Parole, aged, by Leaming- ton, out of Maiden, 118 pounds (Peakes); and b. h. Uncas, 5 years old, by Lex- ington, out of Coral, 11% pounds (Shaner); Dwyer Brothers’ b. c. Luke Blackburn, 4 years old, by Bonnie Scotland, ont of Nevada, 108 pounds (McLaughlin) ; and William Jennings’ ch. Glenmore, 6 years old, by Gien Athol, out of Lotta, 114 pounds (Halloway). The crowd assembled about the pooling stands was __ tre- | mendous, and it was difficult to get within the sound of the pool-seller’s voice. Despite the fact that Luke Blackburn was suffering from a quar- ter-crack, he was a great favorit, and sold for $1,100, while Pierre Lorillard’s pair brought $230, Monitor, $200, and Glenmore $115. Old Parole received an ovation as he took his preliminary canter, but the recep- tion accorded to Blackburn far surpassed it. Monitor was well received. When the hoises assembled at the three-quarter pole, the starting point, there was a grand rush to find eligible places to view the struggle. Monitor was first, Parole. second, and Glenmore third. But as soon as they got under way Uncas rushed forward. to muke the running, and he was immediately followed by Blackburn. Reach- ing the judges’ stand Uncas was lead- ing -a neck, while Blackburn was second, six lengths in front of Parole, who was a head before Monitor, who was a length the best of Glenmore. Go- ing round the turn Uncas parted company with Blackburn and increased the pace, and by the time he reached the quarter-pole he was six lengths awhy from Blackburn, and he eight lengths from Monitor, with Parole fourth, and Glenmore still in the rear, wellin hand. The pace along the back-stretch was tremendous, Uncas keep- ing up grandly, but Luke Blackburn had closed, and when the half-mile post was reached only three lengths separated them, but there was a great gap between Blackburn and Monitor, more than a dozen lengths separating them. Two lengths behind Moni- tor came Parole, 2 length in front of Glen- more. Rushing around the lower furn the rearones were closing up gradually,and when they reached the three-quarter pole they were at close quarters.

At the quarter pole Blackburn was a length and a half in front of Monitor; while Glenmore began moving up, and assumed the third position a length and a half bebind Monitor, and three lengths before Uncas, who was two lengths ahead of Parole.’’As they rushed along the back stretch the excitement became intense, as Monitor closed to Biack- burn’s saddle-girth, and Glenmore rushed. up to the quarter of Monitor. At. the half- mile pole Monitor wasaneck in front, and then there was a general shout that Black- burn was beaten. No.-sooner had they passed that point and began running round the lower turn than Glenniore burst to the front like a flash, and the backers of the other horses, especially Blackburn, stood with blanched cheeks, while tha outsiders increased his lead.

Turning into the homestretch, Blackburn fell back rapidly, very much disabled,and Hayward made fran- tic efforts on Monitor. whileFeakes plied the whip on Parole, but Glenmore had the race in hand and won by a length and a half, amid great excitement, - Monitor gained the second place, half a length before Parole, while Blackburn, with his hoof split open, was some sixty yards behind, and Uncas was a long way out. The time was 3:583{. The only enthusiastic people after the race was the delegation from Brighton Beach, where Glenmore is a fa- vorit, and when the victor came along the stretch decked with garlands his reception was a warm one.

This being the last opportunity to air their trotters in a matinée until after the rnnning mecting 1s over, they all turned out, and, judging by their scores and time, they all did their level best to win. With the exception of a light shower, the day was fine, and the attendance quite large. The following are the summaries: ‘Three-minute class to wagon: ‘Wm. Rabor's b. g, Tiney. W. Caves r, x.

Mr, Keene recently paid $5,650 for a year- ling brother to Fexhall, and will send him to Europe in the course of a month or so. The matingée at the North Side Driving Association track in Lake View, announced for yesterday, was postponed on account of the weather until Thursday afternoon next. Lelex has been turned out till the fall. He Was cut on the left hind leg by Lucey May while running in the Merchants’ Stakes, but managed to win the race. e Col.

Sprague, May 22, at the stud farm of Mr. R. P.'Todhunter, Walnut Dill, Ky. The death of a veteran trainer in the per- son of C, P. Coyle is announced. He trained Marksman, Rifleman, Bonnie Lassie, Bonnie Laddie, Oiio, and others. He used to train for Mr. R. A. Alexander, and was an honest, upright man. It is not generally known that Fiddler, the colt that finished fourth in the Prix de Paris, was sired by the Aimerican-bred stallion Preakness, but such is the case. Preakness is rapidly winning his way in England as a successful sire, Robert the Devil and Bend Or, who were the crack 3-year-olds of England in 1880, have both succeeded in beating Mr. Keene's Syear-old colt Foxhall, that won the Prix de Paris. The “ Yankee” was second to Bend Or for the City and Suburban, and fourth to Robert the Devil in the Ascot Gold Cup. Parole is running into rather good form. His performance in the Westchester Cup was exceedingly creditable, and reminds one of his early victories, A splendid galaxy of names is the list of Westchester winners— yiz.: The Banshee, Helmbold, Preakness, Harry Bassett, Wanderer, Ballankeel, Tom Ochiltree, and Brainble.

One thing Mr. Co! lin may be sure of, he will never azain own so gooda stallion, either for stud or track purposes, as Wedgewood. It appears that the match between the 2- year-old colts Onondaga and Sachem, owned respectively by the Dwyers and Pierre Loril- lard, which is to be run at Coney Island next Saturday, was arranged by Tom Ochiltree, he having been authorized by ate Lorillare toact on his behalf. Onondaga is a full brother to Sensation, while Sachem is by War_Dance, out of Sly Boots, the dain of Sly Dance. The race will be for $5,000 a aie and the distance three-quarters of a mile. This from the Buffalo Sunday News: “ Hamlin’s ‘$10,000 Kentucky horse?’ cost . The story that he cost $10,000 was occasioned by the facetious isaac Tagrart, who, when the horse broke away from his driver at the Meadville races, jumped to his teet in the grand-stand and shouted out, “'There’s $10,000 worth of my property run- ning round that track.’ They all took Ike tor Hamlin, and, believing him to be the man who makes a million a year, stared at him in wonder till he left the grounds.” On Saturday last the trotting stallion Jupi- ter Abdallah, owned by Mr. Williain Hendrie, of Hamilton, Ont, had the misfortune to get his frout lez broken above the knee. The Stallion atthe time was standing near an- other horse, which kicked him, sulting as above. A veterinary surgeon at once brought and the Jeg splinted, und it is hoped with proper care bone willknit. Jupiter Abdallah was in_1855, and is by Jupi- ter, son of Long Island Biack Hawk; dan by Abdallah. He he sire of Result, 2:2 Roden’s Prince, 2:27; and Tom Moore, 2:28, Ed Broadnax, thetrainer of Capt. Cottrill’s stable, has a somewhat remarkable history. Tle was a slave before the War, his master being Mr. Broadnuax, the partner of Mr. Cot- trill. His fondness for horses amounts toa ssion. In 1861, while still a slave, and ata Aa pass! : time when sectional prejudice ran very high, pate Broadnis sent Ed to Saratoga with his si Ed, like the faithful servant that he mide the trip, remained in the North until the racr n was over, and, although he mizht nave made himself a free iman at any moment, preferred to return with his master to Mobile, where he has ever since lived. Jim Brown, a 5-year-old son of the famous four-miler, Foster, has come out in Califor- nia and astonished some of the folks of that acitic and prolific land. He wen ata mile and three-quarters, and ran » With 105 pounds up. A friend writes u rivately that he believes him the best S-year-old in America for a long distance of ground. “The old horse gota real good one in King Will- iam before he went to the west coast at all and if the Texans send plenty of good mares to him now they will be wise. itis very likely that he is the best stallion among all the sons of Lexington, and everybody knows that he was a tast, beautiful, biood- like racer, the gamest of the game, save and except, perhaps, his old friend Monarchist. Last year Tue Tripune made mention of the young stallion Kingston, by Sterling (son of Volunteer). bred and owned by Mr. Rufus King, of this city, as promising great things in the future, Last month he was placed in the hands of Peter V. Johnson to see what he would do with a. little work under the hands of that competent trainer, and the result has proved inmost satisfactory, for with only two weeks’ work he showed a 2:30 gait, trotting quarters in thirty-eight onds with great ease and steadiness. He was bred toa few mares last year and his colts are said to be very fine, He is now at the stables of his owner, 277 Park avenue, and after making a two months’ season in this stud will again be put to track-work.
