THE POETS SONG on BEING DESERTER
BY SUMMER.

Summer has lett me, the faithless coQuette-
With her smile and her song she has ned;
The kiss that she gave nc wet on my ltps ret,
Her lauyh ringing still in my head.
But no ih-mc. FAY l.
Nor BORROW nor Sigh,
For Autumn has come In her stead.
know Simmer WIS fair in her green velvet skirt,
And with duwcfs eatWiaeu in 1ler hair;
But my autumn looks n:at with her brown robe
begirt,
And her brow accked with fruit Jewels rare.
So pine not. nor grierc.
For the false who did leave,
But my heart with the true one share.
The voice Of Summer with bird VIA sweet,
AND her laugh with brookAippIng WIS mad;
Yet ny Autumn i wind sony is with music replese,
Then why should mourn.
When feel not torlorn.
With dear one more fond than had?
Summers face was agiow With tho a1dor Of lore,
Her mouths air vas spiced> stIdlDy, and hot;
While is -Antumn's brow clear Ms the blue skT
And her breath sweet and cool rs gros.
So smile and laugh.
And my li{e-cnp quah.
With my new love enjoying my lot.
Summers dark eyes were dreamy, unsettled, and
See1uip. warm. she was icy at hcart;
But my Autnmn's ligh. orbs beam forth gentle and
Revealing her soul free from art-
Hence siag and iitt.
CaE,n. not for the jilt
Who saw fit from her ff0th TO depart,
Thus the lover should sing when forsaken, alone,
Not pinins in grief and unrest
though his false Summer Is gone,
With Autumn he still may bc b1est;
Lifting loudly md long
This refrain to his song,

THE TURF.
PAIL MEETIEG9 4 FAILURE.

It is not at all probable that the manager OF
dexter Park will ever again offer prizes for q
fall meeting oyer that track. The meeting
which closed last Friday was an experiment, aud
not q particularly successful one at that. Here
tofore it has uecn considered sufficient to give
two meetings, one for trotters and one fox rum
ners, both taking place in July. This year,
however, Col Mansur determined to give June
trottlng meeting, being urged thereto bya num-
Der Of Chicago horse1nen, who promised to ell
ter their horses In the various purses. This
meeting conficted with the Michigan Circuit,
and as the very men who had counseled Mr.,
A1ansur to give the meeting, and had promised
him substantial support, were the first to start
for the other side OF the lake, it fell fiat, the
entries being few aud the attendance small,
Tue regular July meetings were grand sue
cess, and demonstrated the fact that custom,
US much as anything else, governs
the attendance at fall meetings III
Chicago. People have ia lieu into the notion
that once u year is as often as they care to
visit the race track, and considerable hard work
will be required to get them out Of this way
Of thinking. Those who admire running horses
attend the first July meeting, while the friends
of the trotters take in the second one. There
are also other rcasona why fall meeting can
hardly be maize 4 Success One Of these is that
all the most celebrated horses in the country
are ut that time in the East, and without their
presence no meeting can count on large audi
ences. Horsemen and few enthusiastic SUP
porters of the turf take more interest In a
race, where no heat is trotted
better than '30, than they would in seeing

The sixth and last game OF the tournament
was played yesterday afternoon at the Bal
Park, ty tho Allegheny Club and the Syracuse
stars. To the eighth inning the game Was an
unusually brilliant one marked by good bat
ting and d little mut1lng on tic part Of the al.
1eghcnics. and weak batting and fine fielding by
the Stars, which made the playing of both Of
equal strength. There was but lair audience
iu attendauee,-the average of the week.
The tournament financially, las not
becn SUCCESS, II the gate receipts were
depended upon for support, and
there Is general complaint among the mana
gers Of the poor gate money. 4 cause for tic
poor audiences may be found in the disgust Of
many of the citizens with their own nine and
with baseball generally.
Yesterdays game was "thrown" II ever there
was such thing as s'thrown'' game. It was
not by the hines. nor were the managers re-
sponsible for it. Yesterdays game WIS given
to the Stars by probably two men, one Of whom
has made q record during the game which would
pIacc him in very favorable light
The Stars scored their first runs In the second
On couple Of base-hits and three errors. An
other was scored in the fourth inning on two
base hit and passed bail. In the meantime
the Allegheny team secured run On couple
Of basc-hits and an error by Mansell. In the
seventh, Nelson's so-called thrce-basc hit aud
Galyin's single gave them another run, which
was earned. Tic Allegheny nine, who went to
the hat first, led OF in the eighth In tinc style,
Crcamer, Holbert, and Ryan all securing base
hits Cllntol1's easy mun Of Mckelvey's long
hit to ccutre field gave them run, but still
kept three men on bases. The redoubtablc
Nelson then came up and struck out after
three lazy attempts to make d hit. Nc
kelcey having gone out in the meantime by q
sharp play Of Mccormick aud Alckannon, the
chancerw lost. as an unfortunate foul tip re-
tired Calvin. The score then stood 8 to 3. The
Stars went to bat, aud Calvin gave Farrell his
base on balls, from whence he went to second

Thy precious bloom to see.
And. living in thy bright, bright gaze,
Thought not they never be.
Never the wint1y winds OF Sorrow
Will Cause thy cheek to pale,
Nor eYef dread OF one tu-mo1roV
May make thy still heart fail
With tears we kiss the baby~broH
Once twice, and many times.
And give thee up to angels now,
Sweet bud Of other cltmes. i. ". .,
