-Four Favorites at Guttehburg
Make the Talent Happy.

Turfmen are naturally Interested in all
sporting matters, and, OF course, pugilism
comes under this head. Slavin, Mitchell,
Corbett and other stars OF the fstic arena
palcd iuto insignircance and were forgotten
before a little One-rOund mill which took
place in the Hoffman House corridor yester-
day morning. The spectators were other
turfmen, bookmakers and citizens. The cen-
tral figures were capt. sam Brown, the
millionaire turfman, coal baron OF
pittsburg, owner OF railroads In Kentucky
and no one knows how many steamboat lines
on the ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and
George NJ. Rye, OF Arkansas. owner of the
race horse Long Dance and other well-known
performers. 1t seems that Rye In 1854 got
capt. Brown to put down bet OF $500 on
two-y -year-old nlly by Bonnie Scotland, out Of
Beatrice, which at that time was owned by
Rye. The latter promised to settle the next
day II the tilly lost, which she did. lie never
settled, however, and when Capt. Brown
heard recently that Rye was buying year.
lings at fancy prices he thought 1t was about
time Rye settled up. They met in the Hon.
man House yesterday morning and Capt.
latter grew indignant, and squaring on
struck Capt. Brown in the face. The
latter had his hands in his overcoat pockets
at the time, but quick as Hash his lett shot
out and caught Rye under the right eye. The
latter measured his length on the floor, but
sprang up ready to renew the battle. Sol
Lichtenstein and others interfered, however,
and friends LED the irate turfmen away In
different directions.
The much advertised Dandy Dinmont-Moon-
light yearling has gone back to his old stall
In the stable Of the millionaire brewer, Jacob
Rupert. After series of speedy trials the
Dandy Dinmont yearling was proclaimed q
world beater, and turfmen all over this sec
tion of the country went TO see the youngster.
lie caught Mr.. Frank Ehret's eyes very favor
ably, and through his trainer, Matt Allen.
he made an ofIer OF 100000 for the
yearling. Con Leighton, trainer for Mr..
Rupert and owner Of the phenomenon, Inn
mediately accepted the ofrer The colt was
therefore transferred to Mr.. Ehrets stable at
Norris Park. 1t now turns out that Brewer
kuppert was offered the colt for $4,000. He
says he accepted the yearling at that price,
but Leighton did not understand 1t so. OF
course. there was some feeling on both sides,
and the upshot of the whole matter was that
Leighton handed back the 100000 he had re-
ceived from Mr. Ehret for his youngster and
accepted the $4,000 OF Mr.. Rupert. So the
colt has gone back to the Rupert fold, and
con will get him ready to capture all the
rich stakes.

Guttenburg yesterday, and the talent went
