Yesterday was dull day-in st. Paul
A drenching storm accompanied by vivid
lightning and heavy thunder passed over this
city last evening.
Fully 25,00O people passed to and fro
through the union depot yesterday. No won
der the balance Of the city was dull.
The members of the boat club were out
practicing yesterday and one of them sue
ceeded in upsetting. He loated ashore, how.
ever without any great harm being done.
The formal opening of Elmo Lodge at Lake
Elmo will take place to-morrow-the 4th OF
July. Six trains will leave the union depot
for the lake, the first departing at 6 a. m,
instead OF $50, as heretofore advertised.
The Northwestern Chronicle comes to us
looking SO neat and trim that we hardly recog-

Yesterday noon a colored fellow named
Cook went into Wampler's drug store and
helped himself TO five or six dollars from the
money drawer. He was subsequently arrested
BY detective O'Connor at George Morton's on
Fourth street and locked up.
Union park was not oyercrowded yesterday,
to witness the athletic exhibitions of the Null
doom Whistler combination. The performance
was good. and the best OF order prevailed.
Many OF the leading citizens of the two cities
were present and were highly pleased.
The many friends OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph

ment he said: 81 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 l was not party to
the arrangement, jocular or otherwise, to call
the time 2:46. do not believe the stallion
ever saw the day he could trot a mile in three
minutes" Uncle Sim has good memory,
and fiction is not In his line.
Mr.. Rysdyk was an eccentric man, and he
had the reputation of being close. Some fiji
teen years ago we offended him by publishing
in the Turf, Field and Farm a wood engraving
of Hambletonian, taken from an oil-colored
photograph i'll 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. Mr..
Rysayk knew nothing about art, sill he
would allow no one to sketch Hambletonian
unless he was permitted to revise the drawing;
hence wooden-shaped pictures of the horse,
with taperlng 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 cobweb5 of twenty years had
gather, and he opened it to celebrate the &C.
caslon. ID. 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
indelibly photographed on the mind. 1t is
enough glory for him TO have founded
majestic trotting line"

Dan Baker, son OF Judge Baker, was shot
about six O'Clock yesterday morning, by
Frank Thompson, under the following cir
cumstances: Saturday night crowd OF loose
people left st. Paul for the outskirts OF the
city, and went out on University avenue TO
place known as O'Keefe's, which is short
distance beyond the notorious Diamond place,
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 coli

pretty lively time. 1t seems to have ended,
however, without anything very serious hap.

home. Some time after this, and about five
or six O'Clock yesterday morning, Dan Baker,
who was with one party or the other, went
to O'Keefes 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
high mp. Baker was brought to
town and placed in St. Joseph's
hospital where he was attended by DIR. 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 10 her
and claimed that he wanted to 70 to saltwater
to see sick relative, and than Che 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

Tr0tter as. Runner.

In chronicling the causes for the meager at
tendance upon the races at Chicago, Friday
last, when four good events were pro-
grammed, the reporter of the Times gives the
following, which, In a very few words gives
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:
reporter for the Times asked q 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 sec the flyers,
despite the weather.
My frIend,' was the response, "the an
swer is very easy. North Of the old imagin-
airy Mason and Dixon's line the people are
thoroughly practical. They want something
they can use when they invest their money,
aud do not propose to pay something for
nothing. Now, why, they argue, should
we take an interest in a running horse.
Blood is good enough, in its way, but
running horse is of no &C count only on the
track. lie is vicious, upmanageable, 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
tiobIei 10 ai"dJo Soou. Tie may be broken
down as purse winner, hut after that he can
he used as gentlcman's horse, then as
family horse, and then, perhaps, he may he
attached to a delivery wagon; but till he goes
the way of all horse-fesh trotting 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 a
greyhound or jack.rabbit that is always
vicious, and takes two niggers to hold it, one
10 ride it, and three to groom it,"

Hambnfoninn I'm Hcrness

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 24S or 2:4SX. One of the letters
quoted was written in 1876, and it states that
in 1885, when Hambletonian was four wears
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 S:i2, but
it was agreed to call it 2:52, 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 fife, treated the party to wine, and before
this happy and ievial 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." Ga
Saturday last, at Sheepshead Bay, we met Sim
Hoagland, looking young and vigorous, albeit
he is one of the few survivors of the merry
crowd at Hiram Woodruffs in 1858, and when
we drew his attention to the foregoing state.
