THE rates Of the new cable just laid
between Cape Cod and Best, France.
will be 12I cents per word. The An
glo-American line has already reduced
its rates to six pence per word. So
much for competition. The new line
is owned by French and American
capitalist, the former holding the con-
trolling interest. Jay Gould is con-
structing a new telegraphic line be-
tween the Eastern cities to connect
with the new cable line. 1t is to be
known as the American Union and
will come into sharp competition with
the Western Union. Possibly we
shall hear of some further reductions.

THE TURF,
TEE CHICAGO MEETING.


Next Saturday will begin what promises to be the
largest and most successful running meeting ever
held In this country it being the inaugural OF
the Chicago Jockey and Trottiug Club. Hitherto
the project of bringing together in this city col
lection OF thoroughb:e1s from all pnrts Of the
country has never been successfully carried out,
notwithstanding the earnest efforts in that direc
tion which have been made. After the trotting
meeting last fall had ended In blaze Of glory the
officers OF the Club determined to map out 4 run
ming meeting for the present month that in point
OF attract1yencss Of programme, should eclipse
anything ever before attempted. They argued that
with superior attractions in the way OF stakes
anu purses, there would be no difficulty
in drawing here the best stables Of raccrs in Amer
lea, and the RESULT has shown that their Judgment
was correct. The nine stakcs to be for are
marked by the enormous number Of :,94 entries,
comprising the pick o! the running horse interest
from one side Of tue continent to the other. Never
before in tile history Of the American turf has
there been such gathering OF thoroughbreds from
n1l parts OF the land will be witnessed ut this
meeting. Ths East is represented by Col. David
Mcdaniel, whose experience as 4 turfmar datea
back nearly fifty years, and whose stable
has been represented season after sea-
son in all the important events at Long
Branch. jerome Park. Saratoga, Louisville.
Lexington. Nashville. and Baltimore. 1t is no
easy thing to get man OF big experience out OF
the rut in which he has travelled 80 long; amt the
Jockey Club Manager waa more than pleased upon
Mr. McDaniers ARRIVAL to learn from that gentle
mans lips that the Chicago track WAS the best he
had ever seen. md that, at the coming meeting
there conld be no doubt that phcnomcnally fast
time would be MADE In all the events. From Cali
forn,a have come Messrs. Baldwin and Schwartz, :
each having large stable Of racers carefully &C.
1ected from among the cracks Of the Pacific Coast.

CLEVELAND. O., June 12.-Clevcland people feel
tngs which their Club has experienced since the
opening Of the season from almost every club with
which it has come in contact Excuses have be-
Come pretty thin and tiresome and it has come to
the point where they expect nothing but defeat
and rejoice with joy unfeigned il perchance the
boys win a game. There Is no denying tho fact
thnt hard luck has followed the Club from the be-
ginning. The niue has been tadly crippled in one
way and another, and men ,Sho are among the best
In the League In their peculiar line have been taken
from their places and put In new and awkward
positions. The nine has thus been almost con-
extra good playing Of few OF the men has been
insufticicntto ward OF disaster. a word regard
to Kennedy, the catchct, may not be out Of place.
When i'll his place and in trim there is scarcely
better man In the League. But he IL notoriously
unfortunate. Nearly all last teusun he was labor
season be was Ibid of with split finger. This
had healed sufficiently for him taEe Ills place be-
hind the bat when the trip began; but he Ind soon
split another finger and was again laid off. The
management here ought to have understood this,
aud, If lie was engaged for ST important position,
against those accidents. The Cleveland Club to u
maa would seem to be poor base-runners, and
with the exception OF few men. amoug whe1n
Glasscock il 4 shlniu. example, they are exceed
lurly poor at the bat. They almost invariably bat
into the dir, something which, in the present nd
yaneed stage OF the game is unsatisfactory. 1t is
Ill old saying in regard to games Of chance that
"a bad beginning makes good ending, and it IL
pnssible that it mny hold good IN The matter Of
base bail US applied to the Cleveland nine. II it
does not there is certainly no place for Our Club
except at the bottom Of the list. OCCASIONAL.
