 The great trotter Cobwebs. winner Of the consolation purse at Dertoit Sat- urday, was sold at auction In the Kel- logg sale last winter for S5so. Isaac Fleming says 1t was question whether he would buy cobwebs or Bertha.

 Lady Jefferson and other Hartford horses will appear at Rigby park this week, some of them going thence to New Hampshire. Lady's owner and driver both assert that if entire justice had been done the mare in the matter of interference she would have been awarded the race in which she got the mark of 26h.
 The following nave recently earned their brackets below the 2:2O mark: To- nah. 2:17X, son of Edgardo; Rensselaer, Wilkes, 2:1SA. by Alcantata. 2:23; May Douglass, 2:17, by Fred Douglass; Sun rise Prince. 2:16h. by Hillside Prince, Happy Minnie. 2:19x, by Happy Rus sell; Ruby, 2.17A. by Independence, 3,536, and Passel, 217E, by Land Pilot.
 The only matter that seemed open to criticism about the big stake and its division Is the fact that horses who failed to stay up in the principle event, in some cases being distanced, should have an opportunity to again start for a sum only $1, 900 less than the chief stake. Half the big stake was right nice Consolation stake" to be sure.
 The meeting at Detroit last week furnishes some interesting figures. In all, sixty-eight heats were trotted and paced, and, with the exception of the g. year-old and team races, all but two heats were better than 2:2O. and one of t,, 0.On Aof ho 2:20%. Six heats were below 2:10, and twenty-seven below 2:15.
 This week the great horse center of interest will be Cleveland, that famous old track where Maud s. and 50 many other fast ones have earned their brackets. That the meeting will be great one goes without saying, as nearly all the noted drivers of the coun- try and the best horses will be present. Last winter Isaac Fleming bought at one of Kellogg's sales the brown mare Bertha, by Jerome Eddy, and on Friday she showed a mile in 2:2O. Fleming has Colonel Kip going finely, and on Friday drove him a mile in 2;21. He will start in a race at Cornwall! on Saturday next.
 On the spot writers all agreed that MT. Baggs made wonderfully good drive with Nemoline in the great Horseman stake at Detroit last Tuesday, and any one who reads the accounts will have little cause for speculation on what would have happened If he had laid up a heat" or some other thing that looked reasonable enough to do at this dis tance away. He was only beaten by hair and his charge had been inured in taking her off the cars so that she was not tarnessed at all the first week after her arrival.
 George H. Martin will leave Fleet wood this week for Island Park, AL bany, where he will work his horses prior to the meeting there in August. Among others which he will probably start there is the bare mare Marguerite, by Dexter Dictator, King Darlington, in the 2:27 class; Hilda s. (S, by Stam> bou. in the 2:5O class. and Lava light (D, in the 24O class. King Dar- lington Is going very smoothly, and dur ing the past week he was given four work out heats, the last in 2:1S, and the last half in 1:Os. Marguerite is fast rounding to and will doubtless be about fit for a race at Albany. "N
 Knap Mccarthy has shipped his gray mare Annie Mace,s by Robert McGregor to Cleveland, where he will start her this week. He has sent Nathan Straus' bay mare Glassware Girl to Syracuse where she will be started during the meeting there this week. This move is evidently a good one. She won a race at Old Orchard last week and low cred her record to 2:19h. .. On the day before the late meeting at Worcester, the chief of police posted notices prohibiting pool selling. An effort was made to transfer the meet ing to, ,Narragansett Park, but it was in the end not deemed expedient. The order kept many people away from the | meeting. including large party that | were going up from this city. The fol- lowing paragraph from the Sunday | Republican" explains itself:
 "The number of cities in Massachu- setts where trotting races are held grows beautifully less. After the best meeting ever held in Worcester, the managers of the Worcester Driving Park association announce that no more meetings will be held on thier track on account of the prohibition of pool sell | ing"
 At the Saginaw meeting, over track that was not just fit every day, nine teen races were got off during the week. It took sixty-four heats to de- eide them, and forty-five heats were
