THE SCOTCH NATIONAL SPORT.

TIE SCOTCH NATIONAL SPORT.
Although the sport Of curling has been In
existence from time out Of mind almost, it is
perhaps the least familiar to Americans Of any
pastimc occupying any prominent position.
Here in Chicago, for instance, are two well-es-
tablished curling clubs, with good member
ship from among the solid, industrious Scotch
men Of the city, and it may be added that the
city holds SO prominent position in the respect
OF curriers', that they have named the Vice
President OF the National Club from here, and
have appointed tho annual tournament to be
held here; and yet there are probably not to
exceed 500 people in the city who have the
faintcst idea Of the way to play the game.
The same lack of information seems to
extend throughout the country, and casual in
auirer would fail to find out how to curl, though
he went to ninety-ninc out OF every 100 Of the
population OF the Great West.
NOW, THIS ISN'T FAIR;
curling is one Of the most interesting sports of
the winter season, and holds as high-or per-
haps ligher-rank and respect among its fol-
lowers than is given to the national game OF any
country. The Scotsmen are passionately fond
OF it, and they manage in some way to inspire
in their descendants born in this country the
same feeling, SO that the game fourishcs In
America with scarcely less prosperity than In
the land Of its birth-if q game can be
said to have birthplace. The coming compe-
tition, or tournament, for the Gordon aud Dali
rymple medals in this city makes it quite proper
that the general public, who universally take an
interest in games and pastimes OF all honest,
hcalthful, and vigorous kinds, should have some
idea Of

The Atlantic District Board of Appeals Will

The Mendoza Association will hold its next
meeting during the third week in August.
The stakes of the Kentucky Association have

The owner Of the running horse Sam Harper
offers to match him against all comers for race
of three or four-mile heats for from s., 900 to
$4,000 side, to be run over the Galveston
course.
The Cleveland Humane Society has an agent
constantly on Euclid avenue when the trotters
take their aifing, to prevent senseless drivers
from injuring their stceds- A similar plan in
Chicago would do no harm.
The gray trottlng stallion Rival has been
taken by Boyce g. Richardson, indianapolis,
Ind, to Canada, for a winters campaign in fce-
races. He has record Of 2;30, and his gait
adapts him for the ice business.
4 horse, the property Of Mr.. Loornis, Brook
lyn, n. T., was bitten some weeks since by 4
violent, exhibiting all the signs Of hylropho5ia-
It was necessary to kill him, as lie was uncon-
trollablc, and suffering intensely.
The trottcrs recently taken to California will
probably have all they can attend to. Orrn
hickok has offered to match St. Julian against
Dodinc, Rarus, Sam Purdy, anu Clcmcntine, to
trot against each sngly, in successive weeks,
for 5000 gold side on each race, and Mr.
Jacobs, on hcl1altof the fine cray mare May
Howard, offers to sandwich in trot for each OF
them on the same terms.
The newly organized National Association Of
Breeders, i'll their constitution and bye-laws,
declare that the pool-box shall be strictly pro
forms Of gambling, but they carelessly omit ted
to say how they proposed to stop the evil Just
outside the gates Of the grounds where they
hold their meetings. In the course OF num-
Der Of years. observation OF horse-racing, the
writer has come to believe that no meeting was
ever held without betting, and, further, that
none ever will be.
In the death of Commodore Vanderbilt the
turf lost m ardent admirer From his boyhood
Mr.. Vanderbilt was fond Of fast horses, and the
possession Of such good ones as Mountain Boy
and Small Hopes showed that long price did
not deter him from securing what he wanted.
The Commodore was 4 great admirer Of Bodinc,

II the game are blocks Of granite, generally i'm
ported from Scotland. and may be described as
