nRIGITwooD AND LADY KEfEs.
The bay gcIding Brightwood, that trutted and
won all the races III which he Started in the IL
linois Circuit, was protested by the owners of
other horses, 1t being claimed that he was tray
elm. under an assumed name, and that lie had
4 fast reaord. At first it was thought that
Brghtwood and New York horse called The
MoOso were Identical, but investigation cxplod-
cd this theory. The men who have Interested
themselves IN exposing this alleged ringer are
now confident that they are On the right track,
and will soon satisfy themselves. a horsctnan
named Hawlcy sWears positively that Bright
wood is the Nurse Clover that obtained record

POoR SAGINAW.
During the present trottng season this paper
has had considerable to say about the associa-
ton at Saginaw. Mich, on account Of the fact
that all OF its attempts to hold meetings this
wear hare been fixtures. In fOrner years Sa5l-
nav was the ssEi2 lnju1 ~ Of the Michigan Cir

the officers and Stockholders, Of the concern
beer, afflicted with what is commonly known rs
the biz head. They started out in very nalig
uuut and uncnlcd-for manner to annihl1tc Dex
ter Park aud suppress turf sports in this city.
IN order to do this effeetua1ly they decided to
hold their July meeting OIL tho dates already
claimed and advertised by the Chicago track
The TRIBUNE warned them that a large city like
Chicago was not likely to be bulldozcd by :.
collection of shing1c-nills, but they kept right
on in their misguided way, Which ended in the
complete fizzle OF their proposed meet
ing Honest horse.ncn were disgusted
at the hoggishness Of the Saginaw
Association, a1,I even the officers OF the other
Michigan tracks turned in to help Chicago
The result w:ls That the Saginaw meeting failed
to OCCUR and LACK OF entries, while that in this
city was u success in every respect. When the
Northwestern Circuit was formed, Saginaw was
invited to take place in the line, and consent
ed. But the reputation acquired during the
early part Of the season was not to be overcome,
and while the purses at Milwaukee and Chicago
filled well, those ut Saginaw were 1neagerly rep
resented, some Of them not filing ut oli. In
CONSEQUENCE Of this, the meeting has been
shortened to three DAYS, instead Of continuing
four, as was originally announced. Il the officers

Thlrty-four pages are occupied
with tliscussion of "Lord Derby's
Despatch" and "The Storm in the
East" Tie aim of tile first article is
to vindicate the policy of the des-
patch and in the second article an
attempt is made to place the condi-
tion Of the war before the reader,
and to point ont some of the contin-
gencios which may affect the resnlt.
The writer rrndently abstains from
prediction. S"There are good reasons
why Russia should finally win, ii she
can holdout, and If none but the
Turks resist her. Bnt then, again,
she cannot probably hold out, and
Turkey may find allies" GE4Jrc /

The jew saw Rome, the "mighty

He wanders a captive in the streets

editor to follow them. Said editor,
when an interval in this sublime
conference occurred, endeavored to
bring back the discussion to small
children and Enumeration by giving
his experience of some years ago
Che would not like to say how
many in teaching trundle bed arith-

that of Prof. Dinwiddie in intro

advantage.
Thursday evening evening

address on the English language.
We wish to give our readers some
conception of the general scope OF
this splendid effort, but despair OF
presenting even compendium OF
its argument; and even if we could
do this our work would be only hall
done, as even so we should afford
no means of approaching the perfec,
ton of its style. On this head we
can only say that while the lecture
consisted of an analysis of the vari.
Gus sources from which the English
language has derived its incalculable
wealth of expression, its force, deli
cacy and exquisite sensibility, the
essay itself was a perfect exempli
fication of what it taught; it was itselI
a splendid specimen of the force
purity and richness of which the
English language is capable. We
took copious notes of the lecture
intending to give our readers re
satnee of its contents; we relinquisf
the enterprise in justice to the lectu
rer, certain that such a syllabus cOulC
give no conception whatever of the
merits of the essay. We earnestly
hope to see the essay printed entire
