ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
SPRINGFIELD, September 3.-After the
week of continued sensations among the har.
ness horses at the Hartford meeting, the open.
ing of the sixth week of the grand circuit al
Hampden Park this afternoon, was quiet
and uneventful in contrast. There were
only two contests this afternoon, but they
proved of more than usual interest and the
crowd grew more and more excited as the
heats continued to be won by some horse that
was not thought equal to getting in front place,
as was the case in the first contest for the 2:30
trotters. Maud Muller, who had carried off
first money in this class at Charter Oak Park
last week, was prime favorite over her four
opponents at odds Of 2 to l, but one heat was
all that fell to her lot. The young mare

to Metropolitan turfmen as excitable in COM

in the first heat and after being laid up for the
second, came on and captured the next quite
easily, lowering her record to 2:22; after that
she was backed at odds of to for victory.
In the latter part of the contests she resorted
to her old habit of losing her head at critical
came in at the heel of the hunt with the three
heats necessary to success. Whalebone was
one of Maud Muller's opponents in his own
home, and got heat in the event won by her.
He was quite unsteady Ill the first part of to-
days race, but kept level in the fourth and
fifth heats and in the sixth was able to beat the
two mares after making break in starting.
The gelding was well handled by young Dodge,
SON of NJ. Dodge, who owns HIM.
ANOTHER SIJRPRISE
awaited the knowing ones in the 224 class.
where Amy Lee and Farmer Boy had the call
in the betting. Neither of these could go to
their clip to-day, and the Kentucky stallion
Greenlander was able to score his first success
of the season in consecutive heats. The third
he trotted in 2:2lA, and could have beaten 2:2O
even on this slow track. Greenlander is a
stoutiy built black horse, and was sired by
Princeps, his dam, Juno being by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. His former record was 2:24L,
but he has frequently shown miles in 2:2O or
better. To-day he quite outclassed his field
and logged home in his fastest mile.
There is much better card tomorrow, when
the 222 stake of S., 600 will be trotted, besides
the 2:l8 class and free-for-all pace. Kit Curry
has rejoned the circuit, but Susie s. is an al
most certain winner of the 218 class while
Alcryone will be as great a favorite for the
stake The track was dusty but fast, and the
betting lively. The $1,000 guaranteed stake
race announced for to-day did not fill, and was
abandoned.

Of them ragged, some barefsObed, hat
all bubbling over with enthusiasm, had
joined their acknowledged leader.
When freekled Glen Warren, the
last one expected, had arrived, Bob
arose and thus addressed his band;
A miserable wretch, mean enough
to chase q boy out of an orchard, took
six fish away from me a spell ago down
by the dam.

rus from the band.

eff he hasn't eat 'em all.
A few minutes later Bob halted some
fifty yards away from the spot where
a bearded man of immense stature was
broiling fish over a small fire.
To all appearances the boy was
alone, but his tried and trusty follow
ers were ensconced behind some low
bushes near by. In their eagerness to
see the monster who dealt in instru-
ments of torture, they were thrusting
up their heads at the imminent risk of
being observed by the enemy.
"HelloP shouted Bob.
The man started, and dropped the
fish he was cooking into the fire.
Where's your father ?" he sneered,
after satisfying himself that Bob was
unaccOmpanied.
"He said I had no 'thority to make a
date for him.

Dick BIye uttered a creditable imi-

Bob now took an apple from his
pocket, which he punctured several
times with q nail. Then he poured
over it a little of the contents of the
bottle and tossed it toward the whip
merchant.
The man began by smelling the
fruit, and ended in devouring it eagerly.
Five minutes later Bob had joined
his band, and all were watching the
trampish individual, as with every out
ward manifestation of pleasure he
sat slipping the contents of the bottle.
After it was finished he rolled over
and fell asleep.
Forward" whispered Bob, and the
forms of the avengers we're creeping
stealthily along.
The bundle of whips was secured
and distributed, the supply in excess
of the demand being thrown the
river.

The order was obeyed with alaerity.
Rudely awakened from his drunken
sleep the man, bowling with pain,
struggled to his feet and attempted to
seize the pigmies, who had turned
against the giant-whom strong drink
had chained-the weapons which he
had brought into their country
The boys readily eIuded his grasp
and continued to administer severe if
not poetic justice, until they wearied Of
the sport.
