THE RAILROAD WAR.
No Sign of a Cessation of Hostilities--The
Grand Trunk Forcing Matters by Cut
ting Rrates East from Chicago

No Sign of q Cessation of Hostilities--The
ting Rrates East from Chicago.
NEW YORK, July ,31.-A Boston dispatch
says the Grand trunk in its effort to force
crisis in the railroad war by cutting fare from
Boston to Chicago to SIS announces its deter
mination to reduce the fare from Chicago to
Bostan to the same figure tomorrow. Wheth-
er the other roads will follow this
latest step it ia not possible
to say. 1t is thought they may not come
down to the five-dollar basis. It is believed
they will reduce to within one or two dollars
of it, claiming that the difference is in favor of
their routes on account of the shorter time of
the journey by them. Travel from Boston to
the return fare has remained as high as $l4,
Now that it only costs SO for a round trip,
the increase will probably be more marked.
The Chicago and Grand Trunk road is report
ed to be preparing to run two fast trains from
Chicago to Boston. Though there is still
only one train Z p.m., from Boston, the B. &
A. runs three trains west, the choice of three
routes being offered after reaching
Rochester by each, and the time of arrival be-
ing the same in each case. The same kind of
frelghts are taken as low as 12K cents per
hundred on the same roads, which Is 2X cents
lower than fourth class rates announced by
the Grand Trunk. There seems to be at pres
ent little probability of an end to
the contest. The Grand Trunk line
has now carried the war into all
its department freight and passenger east and
west bound. It is said also to be making
time contracts for carrying freight at its
present rates, extending into the winter
months lis managers announce it has en-
tered the fight to stay, and they evidently ex

The Chicago Meeting.


The Chicago trotting meeting, which closed
Tuesday last, was, in attendance and the char
acter of the sport presented land this not
withstanding the fact that bad weather COM

to those ever offered by any other association
| in the history oftrotting. Commencing with
| the first day when Piedmont won the stallion
| race. beating Robert McGregor, Haunis, Santa
Claus, Wedgewood and Monroe Chief in the
| fast time of 2:1S, 2:17K, 2:18Y, ATTY,
2:19H and 2:2I-Athe time in the fourth heat
heing the next fastest to the great Smuggler
ever made by stallion-eVery day furnished
some commanding event, something which,
in an ordinary meeting, would have been Sc
lected out as the sensational event OF the
meeting.
Among these sensational events was the
performance of the PAGER, Little Brown jug,
in the pacing race for the 2:20 class, three
heats, in 2:12& 2:14H, 2:1411s, the best three
heats on record. Though the horse made two
trials to beat the 2:12A of Sleepy Tom, he
failed, but it is conceded by those who wit
messed the race that had he not have been
eased up the home stretch in the first heat, he
would have made the mark close to 210.
Another wonderful performance was that of
Maud s, in which, though failing to beat her
record, owing to the track being slow from
rain, she put upon the books the fastest second
and third heats ever trOtted. still another
sensational performance was that of the g.
year-old colt Phil Thompson, in the colt race,
running in three straight heats in 2:25, 2:24s4,
2:21, the last beating the 3-year-old record
by two and one-half seconds.
These four events were the sensational
events of meeting made up of hotly con-
tested races between large fields of horses, in
which nearly every contestant lowered his
record. The attendance embraced lovers of
turf sports from all the principal cities of the
Union, st. Paul furnishing good sized dele
cation. Nearly all the races were trotted for
blood, there being but two at most, to which
suspicion of combination could attach. With
one or two exceptions most excellent order
was,maintained. As rule the crowd treated the
drivers impartially, greeting their respective
victories enthusiastically, the exception being
in the case of John Splan, who is completely
played in Chicago, he being treated to jeers
end insulting remarks whenever he appeared.
(The manners of bully, language of loafer,
and unfair driving, is not popular an the turf
these days.) An immense amount of money
changed hands during the meeting; the Ken
lucky crowd getting away with good deal
of it by the victories of Fannie WitherspoOn
and Phil Thompson, Kentucky bred horses,
and Annie W., Tennessee bred horse Other
associations would do we'll to study the Chi
cago programme and pattern after it, espec
tally in the item of liberal purses. Good
purses secure good horses, and good horses
secure large crowds.

A POST proprietor of the Jewett Valley
farm, located two miles from Faribault, has
one of the leading trotting stud farms in the
State. His stations are as follows: Volun-
teer Chief, by Volunteer, first dam by Daniel
Webster, second dam by old Abdallah. Vol
uuteer Chief is a dark bay, IL hands and
weighs 1,200 pounds. Although never hav-
ing been trained for speed, he shows a good
gait. He is having big run. Mr. Post also
has Taylor, by Florida, and he by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, dam by Volunteer, and he by
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, making him an in
bred HambletOnian. He is a brown, 16 hands,
heavy name and tail and is as fine a looking
stallion as anybody can show, and also trot-
ter. Vim. II. Dyke is another stallion, sire
Seneca Chief, he by the Hero of Chester, first
dam Lady Hill, by American Star, etc., etc.
Any one taking the pains to look up the
breeding of this horse will find that rich COM
bination of Messenger and Belfounder blood
that made old Hambletonian so famous as a
trOtting sire. He stands l52. and weighs close
to l 200 Another is Goldsmith, bred by AL
den Goldsmith. He is by WobuTn, by Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian, first dam Silvertail,
by American Star, ETC., ETC., making him half
brother to Darby. He bowles over the ground
quite handily.
The next and last of his trotting stations,
doing stud service, is Allen c.. Patchen, by
George NJ. Patchen. His dam, Henrietta, was
by Roe's Abdallah Chief, by Abdallah, etc.
Roe's Abhallah Chief sired the dam of Mes
senger Duroc, who stands at the head of Chas.
Backman's great breeding stud at Stonyford.
Allen C. Patchen sired Inyincible, Jr, the
great 3year- old of his day, and other fast ones.
Now, would like to know who can show
Ii finer lot of stations 10 breed from than are
owned by Mr.. P. Their breeding is par excel
lence. The horses themselves are as fine as
anybody has and their colts stamp them as
number one sires.
OF brood mares | will mention few as
follows
First-Lady Sill, with record of 2 :2299 ,and
half IN 1:O9, big, rangy, well bred mare,
and No. 1 breeder.
Second-Black mare Hattie, by Woburn,
dam by Seeley's American Star, large, nice
gated mare, and kept for breeding only, as all
of his mares are.
Mr.. P. has mares by Rysdyk's Hambletonlan
and all the, fashionable trotting sires,
aud hope that Mr.. Post will be induced at no
distant day to secure the services of a good
trainer and show us the result of his breeding.
He has some eight head of fine bred trotters,
besides his fine shipment last spring to New
York, the get of Volunteer. HARKAwAY.

From FoPH.iHgtcIs.

The head of the trotters in this vicinity is
the fine trotting stallion Archer's "Almont"
by Almont, dam by American Clay, owned by
Porter Martin of this place. He has had a
big season in the stud and as his Season is
about wound up, he will be fitted for the fall
races. And under the pilotage of Mr.. Martin he
viii put his nose under the wire first if he can
be got there Almont is showing remarkable
turn of speed and looks and acts like differ
ent horse and the horse that beats him will
have to make very low record. This horse
is not only trotter but is agetter of trotters.
One of the oldest colts of his get is owned by
Dwight Pitcher living near here. He is four
years old, a big, rangy, nice bay gelding, a
good locker and although handled but little
has good turn of speed. Another good one
is J. [. Shefield's black, good game
trotter and fine mover, and would make q
hard one to tackle on a game race.
Still another good one is the black mare,
owned and driven by John Wright. She is a
tne gated mare, and very handy driver, and
by the way she made the bells ring last win
ter, was caution, so that The boys, when
they heard the bells, alwayG pulled out and
gave John the road.
There are several other good ones, but
space will not permit of a more extended no.
tice.
[Since the above was received note has
come to hand from Mr.. Porter Martin announc-
ing that his horse, Archer's Al
mont, is suffering from the
distemper, or epizoot, so generally prevailing
in this section, SO that he has been forced TO
let him up on fast work, though Mr.. Martin
hopes to get him around all right in time to
enter him in one or more stallion races in the
State this fall. Speaking of the disease with
which his horse is suffering, Mr.. Martin
writes: 81 think horsemen cannot be too
careful with their stock, while afflicted with
this complaint. This was in all probability
the trouble with Bonesetter." Lady Rolf, Mr..
Kittson's fast tretting mare, has been troubled
with the same complaint, though now nearly
recovered and many of the road and work
horses in this section are also afflicted the
same way, but the disease seems to be gradu-
ally disappearing, the settled weather of the
past two weeks alone seeming to have had q
very beneficial effeat.-ED
