THE TURF.

Tho most ardent friend Of the Western Turf
mems Convention, which held it's sessions ut
the PaInc- House TWO days last week, can hard
II say anything better OF it than that it wss a
hZz1o from beginning to eud. The measures
recommended fell stiil-born, and will never more
be heard Of in any shape. The best part of the
audience. as regarded numbers, were not iden-
tifod with tho best interests OF the Western
turf, and the most Influential delegates took
early occasion to disavow the ection taken in q
document which was signed by the President Of
the gathering and several other gentlemen
whose names carry weight.
The trouble with the whole affair was TINT it
Was based on the exploded idea of secession. II
needs no argument to show that tho formation
OF IN independent Western Association would be
offering premium for expelled, suspended, and
generally dlsbarted Eastern horses, to put in an
appearance on our tracks. Whatever may hare
been, or mag hereafter be, said as to the pur-
poses Of the gathering will not alter the fact that
its originasors came prepared to advocate &C.
cession, but were go far oyernwed as to Keep
that plan in their pockets
Tho most extraordinary idea broachod during
the session was the suggestion thct suspensions
should be removed. at leastein nearly all CAGES.
This. Of course, came from the party who want
to soc Small Hopes, the horse with 2 hundred
aliases, put back, and with him plenty Ut 9th
erS not much better.

complished nothing and 30 did we'll.

MATTERS IN RnCKFnED.
Special CORRESPONDENCE Of The Chicago Tribune.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Jan. 28.-Al Spalding, the
Captain of the Chicago Club, and Barnes, who
led the batting average Of the Bostons, now Sec
oad-base in the Chicagos, are both spending the
winter
Away from public haunts-
here in Rockford. They ure taking advantage
Of the delightful weather, and every day may be
seen practicing- Cone, whose well-known busi-
ness ability and excellent first-base playing
makes him q valuable addition to any club. will
be in Rockford next week. These three gentle-
men will devote their spare time until March in
practicing. Tho determination Of the Chicago
Club not to neglect single chance, shows that
they commence the season with the f1ed iu-
tention Of scooping their adyersaries. Already
great deal ofinterest is manifest, aud odds have
been offered that the Chicagos take the lead for
1876
So much i-.terest in baseball matters hns been
revived here in Rockford that the managers OF
the Wiunebago Agricultural Society have this
early In tho season been negotiating with the
management OF tho Chicago Club. and it is
hoped that ono Of the Chief attractions OF the
Fair for 1876 wilI be q brilliant game Of base

The REPUBLICAN REFORM ASSOCIATION
should be careful not to fall into the hands
of the politicians. Some years ago we had
Citizens Association, composed of as good
men as those signing this call. Peter Cooper
was its president. 1t passed into the hands
of committee of active managers, who
wrote letters and tramped around among the
newspapers and reformed" But before the
association ran its career the managers were
discovered to be in the pay of Tweed and
Sweeny. The association became a mere
tool Of the Ring. The active members OBJ
tanned Office, and at once the ''work" ceased.
We have heard of famous temperance con-
vention which met to nominate temperance
men. The regular politicians quietly elected
themselves delegates" to the convention,
passed temperance resolutions, Endorsed
the ''machine" candidates and adjourned.
This will be the fate of the Reform Club,
unless the very rich and distinguished men,
bers take off their coats and 60 to work.
Collector Arthur or Mr.. Davenport could
send up half dozen s'active" men who
would make the club lively, if it was needed.
But we take it that this is not what the
founders desire.
