In chronicling the causes for the meager at
tendance upon the races at Chicago, Friday
last, when four good events were pro-
srammed, the reporter of the Times gives the
following, which, IN very few words gives a
very correct and most forcible illustration of
the relative value of the trotter and thorough
bred horse, to the practical business men Of
the world says the reporter:
A reporter for the Times asked a we'll
known Chicago gentleman, who is great
admirer of horses and the owner of several
good ones, why it was that the people of the
northern states-the business men-could not
be induced to take an interest in running
horses, and why Chicago people would not
drive to the race track to The flyers,
despite the weather.
swer is very easy. North of The OLD iriagin-
a thoroughly HasIl a pIad aaGnS o
they can use when they invest The ir Money,
and do not propose to pay something tor
nothing. Now, why, thy argue, should
we take an interest in running horse.
Blood is good enough, in its way, but
running horse is of no account only on the
track. He is a vicious, unmanageabie, treach-
erous brute, requiring constant attention, and,
when the season is over, can you tell me what
he amounts to? On the other hand, the
trotter is always good. He may be broken
down as purse winner, but after that he can
be used as gentleman's horse, then as
family horse, and then, perhaps, he may be
attached to a delivery wagon; but till he goes
the way of all horse-fesh tre.ting horse can
always pay his feed. That is why, l think,
The practical northern sense does not take
kindly to an animal that can be beaten by
greyhound or jack rabbit, that is always
vicious, and takes two niggers.to hold it, one
to ride it, and three to groom it,"

1hs Chicago Trotttng Meeting.

Tprf, Field and Farm: Nevada and Second
Love have been declared out Of The three year
old stake at Chicago. This leaves five to start,
Garfield, RAFFERTY,, Ernest sMaltraver, Code
aud Eva. The great fight, doubtless, will be-
tween the California FLY and the Kentucky
colt. Code is fashionably bred, being by Die
tator, out of Crop, by Pilot, Jr, and he is a
ripper. Eva as a two-year-old gained record
of 2:26, and the stable thinks well of her. Ia
fact we heard an offer Of $1,000 made that she
would win the race, which is 10 be trotted on
Saturday, July Is. 10 the four year-old stake,
TO be decided the same day, only Belle of Cold
water and First Love have declined to make
the second payment, due June 1. This leaves
nine in, Farce, Joyejesee. Adelaide, Ottawa
Chief, Waiting, Bronze, Jim Booman, Co0e
and Saaveur. Farce, by Princeps, out of
Roma, has trotted trial in 2:23X, and JOY
eyesee, by Dictator, out of Midnight dam of
Noontide), by Pilot, Jr.; second dam Midnight,
by Lexington, is reported very fast. Sauveur
is moving we'll, and Ed. Geers was rapid in his
three -year-old form. Code has the disadvan-
tage of a year, but his owner has great conf
dence in his ability. We know little of the
others, but presume they must be good ones.
favorites do not always win. The horses
which have drawn out of the open to all
stallion race, to be trotted Monday,
July II, are Robert McGregor, who is lame,
Alexander, who is doing stud duty in Ken
lucky, and Santa Claus, who is at Philadel-
phia and out of training. This leaves for
starters Won Arnim, Voltaire, Monroe Chief,
ana j. B. Thomas. If Monroe Chief is as
good horse as he was two years ago, first
money will go to him, but as he was failure
last year, he may not develop winning form in
July. Next 10 him j. =. Thomas is the
dangerous horse, albeit Won Arnim is
speedy and Voltaire slayer. The summer
trotting meeting at Chicago will attract vsi-
tors from all parts of the country"

uanoletonsan In Harness.

Turf, Field and Farm: ga writer in the
Maine Horse Breeders Monthly reviews all
the statements put forward from time to time
with regard to the speed shown in harness by
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, and he doubts if the
famous stallion ever .rotted in his three year
old form in 2:4S or 2:4SX. One of the letters
quoted was written in 1876, aud it states that
in 1885, when Hambletonian was four years
old, he was given trial on the Union course
in the presence of Hiram Woodruff, Bill
Wheelan, Jim Whipley, John Nelson, Bill
Shaw, Charles Rely, Crepe Collins, Eaton
Stone, Sim Hoagland, Tom Bartelle, and few
Others, nearly all of whom have since passed
away. Hambletonian was driven in 3:i2, but
it was agreed to call it 2:53, as it was Thought
it would make old Rysdyke, as he was called,
feel good, and need not tell you it did, We
returned to Hiram's, where the old man Rvs.
dyk, the first, and we believe the only time in
his life, treated the party to wine, and before
this happy and iovial conclave ended some
suggested that the time be called 2:4S hence
the everlasting testimony ever since, that
when three years old Hambletonian trotted a
full mile on the Union course in 2:4S." On
Saturday last, at Sheepshead Bay, we met Sim
Hoagland, looking young and vigorous, albeit
she is one OF the few survivors of the me rry
crowd at Hiram WoodrufI's in 1858, and when
we drew his attention to the foregoing state.

LAKE GEORGE, N. Y, July 2.-General dis
satisfaction is shown at the action of the
Columbia crew in declining to compete with
the University of Pennsylvania in an eight
cared rsce July 4. A definite understanding
existed between the two crews that the races
should take place. The New York oarsmen
did not notify their opponents OF giving up
the contest until Saturday night, when In
answer to telegram Friday morning the
Columbias telegraphed that they would not
participate. The University of Pennsylvania
at considerable expense trained an eight
cared crew and sent it to Lake George, expect
ing q contest with the Columbias and the
men keenly feel the disappointment.

ment he said: ~ remember very well the time
that Hambletontan was on Long Island, saw
him trot on Union course, but he did not
beat three minutes, and was not party TO
the arrangement, jocular or otherwise, to call
the time 2:48. do not believe the stallion
ever saw the day he could trot mile in three
minutes" Uncle Sim has q good memory,
and fiction is not IN his line.
Mr.. Kysdyk was an eccentric man, aud he
had the reputation of being close. Some ff-
teen years ago we offended him by publishing
in the Turf, Field and Farm wood engraving
of Hambletonian, taken from an oil-colored
photograph il possession of Mr.. Sharpless of
Philadelphia. The picture did not give to
him the fine neck and head Of the thorough.
bred, but it revealed his strong points and was
much better likeness of him than nineteen
twentieths of the prints in circulation. MIR.
Rysdyk knew nothing about art, still he
would allow no one to sketch Hambetonian
unless be was permitted to revise the drawing;
hence wooden-shaped pictures of the horse,
with tapering neck, were common. Our Of
Tense was grave one in his eyes, and
for two or three years we were not on speak
ing terms. Finally, Mr.. David Bonner con-
WINGED the old gentleman OF his error,
and he invited us to come and spend few
days at the farm. When We crossed the
threshold, he cordially extended his hand, and
made the welcome as earnest as he knew how.
Aften dinner he went into the cellar and
brought forth bottle of brandy, on which
the dust and cobwebs of twenty years had
gather, and he opened it to celebrate the oc-
casiOn. D. B. who was with us, looked on
in pleased wonder. When the old gentleman
made up his mind to take you to his heart,
he was as earnest, as sentimental, as generous
as woman in the rosy dawn Of motherhood.
The next day we spent hours in the box OF
Hambletonian, and before we left Chester the
grand points of the great trotting sire were
ndelibly photographed on ths mind. 1t is
enough glory for him to have founded a
majestic trotting line'

way House.
:. Dan Baker, son OF Judge Baker, was shot
about six o'clock yesterday morning, by
Frank Thompson, under the following cir
cumstances: Saturday night a crowd OF loose
people left st. Paul for the outskirts of the
city, and went out on University avenue to a
place known as O'Keefe's, which Is short
distance beyond the notorious Diamond plac
between st. Paul and Minneapolis. The Dia-
monds, who claim to monopolize that kind of
lewd business, did not like the idea of these
rival establishment. He accordingly col
lected the Diamond host and went over to
O'Keefe's, where they had q
pretty lively time. Ii seems to have ended,
however, without anything very serious hap
pening, and the Diamond people went back
home. Some time after this, and abont five
or six O'Clock yesterday morning, Dan Baker,
who was with one party or the other, went
to O'Keefe's place where he found Prank
Thompson behind the bar. The two got into
an alteration during which Baker got hold
OF Thompson and pulled him partly over the
bar, when Thompson reached under the bar
and drawing out revolver fired at Baker, the
ball entering his left breast, pretty

hospital where he was attended by DR.. Quinn,
who thinks the injury will not prove fatal.
Thompson Immediately left town, and accord
ing to the best evidence attainable went to
Saltwater and thence across the lake to the
Wisconsin side. Officers Immediately went
out in search OF him but failed TO bring him
in. At night woman named Jennie Green,
otherwise known as Bob Diamonds wife,
went to the city hall and gave information
that in the morning Thompson came to ner
and claimed that he wanted to 60 to saltwater
to see sick relative, and that she took him
in buggy and drove to Saltwater, and that
he afterwards went over to Wisconsin. Sheriff
Richter Immediately sent deputy over there
to get him. Up to midnight last night they
had not got him. There is no doubt he will
be caught but he had not at the latest ac-
counts.

Plymouth Church.

The sacrament OF the Lords Supper was ad-
ministered in Plymouth church yesterday, the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Dams, conducting the services.
His remarks before the distribution Of the
elements were quite impressive, having ref
erence to the oneness or unity OF the Christian
faith and trust in one common Lord and
Savior. Twelve persons were admitted to the
church, and one infant was presented for bap-
tism.
DR.. Dana gave notice that the Sunday even
ing service would be suspended during the
the first Sabbath evening in September. Bat,
he remarked with emphasis, the Sabbath
morning services at 1880 q. m.
would be observed without inter-
ruption. The pastor would superintend
these services, ard would either occupy the
pulpit himself or provide for Its occupancy
by exchanging with~brother clergymen. He
added with noteworthy force, that after his
experience of the Generalization of the
church and congregation last year, he had re-
solved never again to take his own vaca-
tiOa and absent himself from his
pulpit, during the heated months CT July and
August, the two heated months of lakeside
resorts, when SO many from the church and
congregation were absent seeking pleasure,
rest and recuperation. He wished those who
were absent ali reasonable enjoyment, but
the church would be kept open as usual
every Sabbath morning for services, and
those who did not, or for any
reason could not leave their homes on eycur-
sions, like Others, would find the sanctuary
with all its hallowed influences open for
regular worship, and the morning service
would always be followed by the exercises oil
the Sabbath school. DR.. Dana is to be
commended for this manly self-sacrifice and
faithful devotion to the interests of the
church. 1t is to be hoped that his example
will be generally followed, and that healthy
reaction has begun, and that henceforth the
churches Will always be kept open for public
worship during the warm season
whether few or many are present
that thus the focks of Christ may not be left
without shepherd to be scattered abroad,
and that the blighting effect of religious de-
moralizatiOn, superinduced by the omission oil
regular Sabbath duties, habits and practice
may not settle down upon the churches with
such power that the remainder of the year
can scarcely overcome it.
