THE PRICE PAID FOR AxTELL.

Chicago, Sept 1.-THE owners Of the famous trot-
ting stallion AxeIl feel that injustice was done
them by dispatch from Indianapolis in regard to the
horse The dispatch quoted the chairman of the Tax
Commission saying that instead of paying 100000
for the horse, alleged, his owners had only paid
S5o,0O0 that he had touch Of Iameness, and that
for this reason the Commission had fixed his taxable
value at $4,000. Colonel John W. Coney, Of this
city, one of the owners OF the horse, declares these
statements utterly false. He says the animal actually
cost his owners 100000. OF this sum $4,000 was
paid in cash and the remainder principal and
interest on the deferred payments that the horse is
not and has not been lame, and that In due time he
will be brought before the public TO show his wonder

Syracuse, " V, Sept. II (speclar.-The exhibits in
every department full, nearly all creditabe ana
very many OF surprising excellence. The weather was
as fine as early autumn could ever boast The pro-
fusion OF ffuts and general exhibits prevented
the able and hard worked officials and employees from
perfect early arrangements. The management OF the
state Fair this year deserves the highest commentator
for intelligence and honest management. The judges
were capable, efficient and honorable.
The show OF dairy cattle especially was large and
unquaedly fine, and the animals Of the beef breeds
were both numerous and good. The mlk-strain oil

This may also be said Of the AbeTdeen-Angus. But
the Devons were numerous and superb The Jerseys

the young helfers and bulls. were numerous and
of superior quality.
The sheep, of all the breeds. made fine display

The horses also were numerous. The draft breed

The New-York and Chicago teams played the first
of their final series together at the Polo Grounds
yesterday before Of the smallest crowds which has
witnessed New-YOrk Chicago game this year The
attendance was 2,4e7, and would hsve been three
times that but for the Giants recent poor work
But the Giants were the Giants Of old yesterday,
and they added another defeat to Chicago's hst 1t
being New-Yoks eleventh victory out of the sixteen
games PLAYED between the two teams. II there is any
satisfaction in knowing that the Giants are net he
champions, but that they greater than the cham
pons, then the followers Of the local team have that
pleasure.
But this very fact has sngered the friends o the club
more than the poor playing. To beat the trophy
winners is not what New-YOrkers want. They want
the championship. Many people among the spectators
felt disposed at the start to belittle the New
and cheer the Chcagoes upon the slightest provocaion
But when the Giants showed that they were at their
BEST their old friends focbed back to hem and their
many brilliant plays enthusiastically applauded
Arson got homage due king I'm the first inn ng, but
out the old war horse three pitched balls in the
sixth.
Ii wellplsyed game and numerous brilliant
manoeuvres kept the crowd in excellent humor. Rich
ardson BasSet and Glasscock did excellent work. while
Ruse and Buckley as usual, did superbly. Vickery
pitched great game after the third inning. Anson
did not make an error but II he had been better
first baseman he would have saved two for Dahen.
The errors had bearing the game every run being
earned.
Neither side scored in the first, but in the second
the Giants old hatred OF Chicago asserted ITSELF and
the result two runs and good lead. ConnOr and
O'Rourke easily retired, but with two out Rich
ardson raised howl BY hitting safely left field for
three basas. Glasscock kept up the good work by hit
ting safely to left field for two bases scoring Richard
SON Buckley not to be outdone, also hit TO centre
field, and GlasscOck scored.
In the next inning the New Yorks made their lead
3 TO by scoring one more run. Ryan caught Cores
puny fly, but BaSsett gave Outhelder Wllmot a merry
chase. Bassett's hit went between left and centre
fields and the ball rolled beyond the ropes Bassett
easily made a home WllmOt walked In a rather
gingery way through mud puddle, and Arson delayed
the game while he went out and talked riot to WllmOt.
The Chicagoes bowed b Ruse for seven innings, but
rallied In the eighth, and, scoring run, escaped
whitewash. After Schrver had struck out, Ryan hit
safely to ceDtrefeld for two bases WilmOt then hit
to oenrefed for three bases and Ryan scored Rusie
