TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD, Second Day of the September Meeting. THRRE INTERESTING }=© TROTTING ~——RACES Harry Gilbert the Winner of the Postponed Race, W. HI. Beede the 2:38 Purse and Tanner Boy the 2:27 Premiam. The attendance at Fleetwood Park was larger yes- terday than on the previous day, the unfinished trot of Tuesday having created a groat deal of interest, whicb, together with the two regular trois of the day, war- ranted even a much larger array of spectators than there was on the grounds, Those who were there Were much pleased with the trotting that took place. {m tho unfinished trof John Murphy brought Harry Gilbert to the front and showed him up to the public In good style by lowering his record several seconds. He won tho sixth heat—which was the first yesterday, five having been trotted ov Tauvsday—in 2:28, going to the half milo in 1:11, and the seventh and deciding heat in 2:3214,"in the easiest possible manner. Gilbert ‘Was the favorite over the field before the start, Tho first trot on yesterday’s programme was for horses that had never beaten 2:38, and for this event pine camp to the post. These wero J. Conklin’s brown gelding George Henry, Mat Tanner's chestnut gelding Moscow, J. H. Martin’s chestnut gelding Charlemagne, M. H.

Martin’s biack gelding Sussex and Charles Brewster’s black gelding Billy Irwin. Jorsey John, Mary Lamb and Billy Arwin wero withdrawn, Moscow was the favorite over the fleld from the start In the betting, and be continued to be so until after tho fourth heat, which was won. by W. H. Boede, the latter having scored tho first heat, and being a weil bred forse, having geen sired by Edward Everett, the supposition was then that he could stay the race ont. Moscow’s driver for tour heats was greatly over- weighted, which tended to the defeat of the horse, and it wus not until be was beaten the fourth heat that bis owner realized the fact that the extra weight had beat him. ‘The second trot was for horses that had never beaten 2:27, for which there were nine entries, eight of which came to the post, These wero Daniel «, Cameron’s gray gelding Tanner Boy, Alaen Goldsmith’s brown “gelding Bateman, W. W. Harris’ gray gelding Snow- bally A. B. Cross’ spotted gelding Prince, M. H. Whip- ple’s bay mare Lady White, R. Penisjan’s bay gelding Billy Lamberson, KE. C, White’s bay gelding Kd White and Jobn Murphy's chestnut geiding Dan Bryant, The ninth horse was gray gelding Gray Eddy, and he wa: withdrawn.

[From London Soclety.] Wo think there are few of our readers who are un- aware of the game called polo, Itis true that, as an English gam@, it is arecent innovation; and for this reagon we propose saying afew words concerning it We use the words “recent innovation” auvisedly; for tho game of *‘polo’? was imported from India. This may astonish some, but it isa fact, nevertheless, The game owes its origin to the *Munipoorees,” a hill tribe inhabiting Manipoor, which is a tributary State on the northeast frontier of Bengal. They area hardy and manly race, not unlike the Goorkas in personal ap- pearance, It need hardly bo said they are good riders, although not elegant in the saddle, Their seat ts, how. ever, somewhat gracetul, and they havea good Knack of what is termed “sticking on.” They are taught to ride when quite young, and may be said to almost live in the saddle when manhood is attained. For upward of a bundred years the game called by us ‘polo’ has been the national pastime. Munipoor is famous for its breed of ponies, which excel the Burmab pony in strength snd ficetness ‘Tho Rajah of Munipoor levies a tribute of twenty-five rupees (£2 10s. of our coinage) on each pony that leaves his State, and no stallions are permitted to pass tho frontier, It 18 vice versa with Arabs, In their case no mares are aliowed to pass into India, By prohibiting the exit of stallions the Rajah of Munipoor not only in- creases bis annual income, but -necessitates the breed. mg of the pomes within his own territory, ‘These ponies are small, but very powertul; they vary from eleven to thirteen bands in height, the average being avout twelve hands bigh at tho wither. They are very fleet, and some of them can carry meno! from four- teen'to seventeen stone in weight. The game calied by us polo is by them Xaown by the name of Aunfai. which 18 a Munipooree word, sixnilying “game” or “amusement,” and as that is their gaine par ercelience they always call it by that name, meaning, we pre- sume, thé game of all others. By the Angio-Indiaus it is always called “hockey,” 1 by some “hockey en horseback,” in contradistinetion to our lish game of hockey on foot; but is realy no necessity jor such tion, as hockey on foot is a game neve for obvious reasons, We may as well ite ignorant as to the origin of the name “polo,” '@ Must admit to being #omewhat curious why the name ‘polo’ should have been given. Not that wo have any objection to it; on the contrary, wo think the name @ Very good one. “Hockey on’ horsoback” {8 too Jong a name, and “poio” (whatever It may mean) answers the purpose as woll as any Other Dawe-—perhaps more so, as the i olteu w good dei failing amd roiling connected with the game, which gives it a somewhat “roly-poly’” characier. The Munipoorees play the game to perfection. They very rarely miss the ball, cau strike it from all four sides (i, ¢ {rom tho tront of the pony’s bead, from be- bind his tail, and trom the two sides); and ‘when foi- jowing (be bail straight they invariably drop the reins and strike with both bauds. Phe pall is never still for an instent, but is struck backwards and forwards by the contending sides, ag a football at Eton or Wiwehester, They have great piuck, and charge Unhesitatingly whenever opportunity offers. The Europeans in Eastern Bengal (where nockey is mostly pluyeu) tarely ever beat the Mupipoorees in a mateh, In Syienar and Cachar the en best Ku- ropean players used to play a jike number of Muni- poorees, but they usually lost, The usual numver of players in @ match is seven a side, and the best of seven or nine games constitutes the winner, Their ground is not large, being usually 10 yards long by 80 vards in breadth, Whenever the valiis strack outside the boundary line it 1s thrown into the ground by an outsider, woo can thow it as far in as he likes, so that he throws it ina jyine irom the spot Where it went out, ‘The game is commenced by tho ball being placed in the centre of the ground, and two piaye one trom each side, stand close up to it, facing one other players ranging themscives bebind ou their spective sides of the grounds, so as to deiend their goals, In England, wo believe, the ball is placed in the centre of the ground, and the two sides rush at it simultancously. In all other respects we believe the Engusb rales are mach the same as those of Munipoor. ‘Two ot the players always remain vehind to delend tho goal, while the other five do all the ground-work. In fact, the rales are almost tho same asin the games of hockey on foot or foot-ball. Th® stick: Munipoorees and Europeans In India ai different from those used in jand, They consist of a igng and tolerably thick cane (Muninooree, bet), in- seried into the middie of @ wooden roller, about a foot long and at an angle of about thirty-Ave or torty deg: grees, The bail is made out of the root of a bamboo tree, and is about hall the size again of an English cricket ball.

The feet, of course, have to be constantiy re- newed, as they sometimes split woen a very hard hit is made, The two chief by-ruies observed by the Mu- nipeuress are, (1) to never r the arm above the elbow when striking att ph by ball rasnly, trom a seifish mouve of ood hit, when it would be better for the game to pass the ball | on to another player who has an mm space him and can run away with it, We aid like to seo these two rules a little moro observed by the English voio players, belore | CREEDMOOR.

THE TEAMS AT WALLACK'S. Last evening Wallack’s Theatro was filled to over- flowing with an enthusiastic audience, who attended the performance of the “Mighty Dollar” and at the same time gratified their desire to view the competing rife teams, who had been announced to appear as guests of the management. It was stated and expected that the Irich team would be present und the left band proscenium box was handsomely decorated with the green flag benring a golden harp. Butowingto the hard work that the Irigh team have undergone since the great interna- tional mateh last week, they were unabie to attend the periormanre, and in their absence tho Australian team under Captain Morris and Lieutenant were present aud occupied the Irish box, which re- ceived a great deal of attention during the evening. The Scotch box, on the right band side, was hand- somely decorated with the Umiou Juck and the Scottish, flag, bearing the Cross of St Andrew, ‘Ihé American box was festooned with ihe St Stripes, and the audience loudiy cheered its occupants, as they did the occupants of the Irish box. Captain Talbot, with some other members of the Scotch team, were inthe red untiorm of the British army, and al tracted considerable attention by the showiness of their uniorms. Judge Gildersiceve, Major Yale, Colonel Bodine, Mr. Washburne avd some members of the Rifle Association divided their tine between the Sooteh, American and Australian boxes, The gentiemen of the (eams present seemed to enjoy the acting of Mr. and Mrs, Florence ‘by a large majority,” and a good | deal of excitement was caused when the Hon, Bardwell Siote alluded during the dialogue in the third act to the wonderful shooting of Mr. Milner at the range yesterday, making 9S out of 100 points, in a certain match that was shot by competitors. 'Duricg the evening the orchestra played “God Save the Queen” and the ‘Wearing of the Green,” whon the teams stood up and paid the orches- tra. a compliment, Mra. W. J.

To tnx Epitor oF Tak Heratp:— I clip the following from an evoning newspaper of yesterday :— The railway poople look forward with interest to the re- turn match between the irish and Ame: Thursday, which they hove will largely ineraso the trav anu renew tho scones of last weok. * I doubt not that the “ratiway people’? hope that the match will Jargoly “increase the travel,”’ but I do not think that auy one whbo attended the international match last Thursday hopes that the. match will “renew”? all the ‘scenes of last week.’? Iwas one of the pas-engers by the train that was to have Jeft Creedmoor at 0:42 The cars did not move till an hour and a half after that time, and during that entire bour anda balf they were filled to suifvcation—men standing in the ais'es holding ou to one another for dear life and the platforms swarming with passen- gers whose lives were Jeopurdizo’ by every jolt of tho train when it finally did start, There ougit to have been better accommodation and better management. Tho time tablo of trains to be run during the match was a lioon its {ace, for it it had deen observed the three trains would have leit Creedmoor during the timo tbe train that finaily leit at tweaty-fve minutes tu eight wus waiting to bo overcrowded. By all means passongers.by J. M.

AWEEPSTAKES FOR THE LOGARVUS CHAMPION- BHIP BADGE—FIVE CONTESTANTS—DOGARDUS SUCCESFULLY DEFENDS THE PRIZE, An open swoepstakes for the badge of the champion- ship of America, given by Captain A. H. Bogardus, was shot at Deerfoot Park yesterday alternoon in the pres_ etice of several hundred spectators, The badge was won by Bogardus at Fleetwood Park, May 23, 1871, and since then he hag held it against all comers, Aftor keeping it two years tho baage became his absoiute property, bat, meaning that everybody desiring tho opportunity to shoot for it should have the chanco, the Captain concludea to leave it open to chal- lenge for two years longer, which he did. On the 20th of March last the time expired. Yet mm the interests of sport he has determined, to again put it up, under the old rules, for the same pe- Fiod a3 dolore, su that some of the rising shooters may have the chance to win it. The first of these con- tests came off yesterday, as noted, but owing to cir- cumstances there were a few minor modifications ot ‘ho usual regulations. The conditions agreed upon wore $100 entrance, wild pigeons, 30 single birds, 21 yards rigo apd 80 yards fall and 12 doubies, 18 yards Tise and 10) yards boundary; plunge traps, 14 oz shot, Dixun's measure, “struck,” and Prairie Club rules to govern. Five entries were made to t these being Green Smith, Petersburo, N. 5 4B Hudson and J. A. Nichols, Syracuse, N. Y.; ©. F. Wuoale, Cieveland, Ohio, and Captain A. H. Bogardus, Elkbart, Li. Tho alternoon was cloudy and thero was little wind, over the gun. ferior to what had been expected and what Hogat desired to furnish, Some ol them, however, were quite Inst and strong, as they carried suot a long dis- tance. The result vl the consest was favorable to bo- gardus, as ho proved the winner by one bird only. The second beat was Mr. Wheale, who shoots in re- markavly good form, snd, without doubt, is o hard man to beat at any time. Tho scores were unexcep- tionably fine, Bogardus and Hudson each knocking over all thelr birug, while Smith's. lowest this part of the race—contains but four bi missed, 1p the double rises Wheale maintained his e: cellent form, and killed 22 ont of 24, tying Bog in this portion of the shoot, but the ‘Captain's clean score in the singles gave him the victory, 52 out ol 54 birus. Many of the shots made were exceedingly difll- cult, Messrs. Nichols, Hudson and Smith, though losers, suowing to much advantage in killing some of their double rises at long distances. All used Dreach-loaders, Nichols, Hudson and Wheale those of tue make of ols & Letever, Syracuse; Smith and Abbey, of ‘and Bogardus a Scott, of London.
