TURKEY NEGOTIATING A NEW LOAN.
London, October 2G.—Turkey having
seonred a release of two hundred and
eighty thousand pounds of the Egyptian
annual tribute heretofore pledged to pay
interest on certain of Turkish loans, is
about to open negotiations here for a new
loan of five million pounds, interest on
which is to be seonred by the pledge of
the before mentioned two hundred and
eighty thousand pounds.
RUSSIAN SUCCESSES NEAR PLEVNA.
London, Ootober 26.—The defeat of the
Turks and the establishment of a strong
Russian force west of Plevna looks like
the beginning of a serious attempt to
shut Ghazi Osman in his line and submit
Plevna to regular seige. Gen. Ghourko’s
movements seem to have been part of a
concerted plan. A portion of the infantry
of the Imperial Guard crossed the Yid be
tween Nikopolis and Plevna, passing
around Osman's left. Gen. Ghonrko's
cavalry crossed, passing Vid west of La-
vatz, swept the Orehame and got in com
munication with a force from the north
and made a combined attack on the Turks,
who were commanded by Hilzi Pasha,
the same who took the first oonvoy into
Plevna. Simultaneously with this attack,
a heavy cannonade was opened along the
entire line on the east of Plevna, and
demonstrations were made to give the
impression of an extended assault to pre*
vent Gozi Osman sending succor to Hifzi
Pasha, who is reported to have been cap
tured, with a large part of his command.
RUSSIAN DETERMINATION.
The impression prevails that since the
recent rains the Russians, convinced of
the improbability of wintering in Bulga
ria, will make a desperate effort to effect
a rednotion of Plevna and defeat Suleiman
Pasha’s army before the retirement in
Roumonia becomes necessary. Russia
would thus stand in a better position,
shonld the diplomats intervene during
the cessation of operations.

CONUkUNtiMAN SMALIJ' BRIBE.
A PROSECUTION THAT WILL RESULT IN
HAYES LOSING ONE VOTE IN CONGRESS.
Washington, Ootober 22.—Congress
man Smalls of South Carolina, who is un
der indictment for taking a bribe of $5,*
000 while a member of tho South Carolina
Legislatnre, has been appealing to his
fellow Republicans in the House of Rep
resentatives to save him from proseou*
tion. Gen. Butler has taken up the oase
warmly, aud visited the de faoto Presi
dent a day or two ago, ' in company
with Mr. Smalls, to urge the Attor
ney-General to interfere and have
his case brought from the State to
the Uuiled States courts, on the ground
tbut Smalls cannot have a fair trial in the
State courts. Attorney-General Devena
has investigated the matter, and has dis
covered that the oase against Smalls is bo
strong that tho charge that he is being
persecuted cannot be sustained. The
prosecution in South Carolina has obtain**
ed the check of $5,000 endorsed by
Smalls, and properly identified, which he
accepted as a bribe. Of coarse the Ad
ministration cannot, under these oironm**
stances, interfere, and Smalls must face
the mnsio. He will probably be compell
ed to give up his seat in the House, and
the Republicans will lose a member.
Laud Frauds lu Florida.
A Washington letter says investigations
are now progressing into depredations
upon the public domain in Florida, which
are producing interesting results. The
Land Commissioner is in possession of
information that certain foreign Consuls
in Florida, have been engaged indirectly
in the extensive system of pillaging,whioh
has had a Urge share in reducing the
great live oak forests of the (State. It is
Htatfcd by a prominent Floridian that
theuo officials have served Beoretly as mid
dle men in selling to foreign governments
and ship-builders the greater portion of
the millions of feet of live oak that has
annually been shipped abroad for many
years past. He says this might be a diffi
cult mutter to establish in a court, but that
the fact was known among well informed
people of his State. There are now
two special agents of the office in Florida.
Neither of them is said to be qualified for
the business, but they ate gradually get
ting au insight into the slate of affairs
and are expected to bring about some
fair results in the course of time. One
of them, writing from Bronson, tells of
a conspiracy by au ingenious pair of
scamps to get possession of a considerable
tract of public land inthat looality and
to swindle a number of unsuspecting
settlers. They were in the turpentine
business, and, as tho agent says, they in
duced a number of men from other parts
of the State, by promising them home
steads of forty aores each, on condition
that they famished a certain amount of
rosin-or crude turpentine, to come and
enter their employment. The land
certificates were procured by the firm
at Tallahassee and held as security
against loss on the settlers’ oontraots:
The settlers were not assigned the land
called for in the certificates, but other
lauds were staked out, aud the meu be
gan work by “boring” a large number of
pines, thus innocently depredating on
government lands. It is said that they
worked an entire season before discover
ing the deception, and upon investigating
the matter they were coolly told that as
they had made no improvements within
the timo required by law upon the land
indicated in the certificates they had for
feited their rights; also that as they had
been depredating upon the publio lands
they were liable to prosecution and im
prisonment. The agent says that all bnt
two of the settlers were frightened away,
and the two schemers were left in pos
session of the certificates, and in a fair
way, by one means or another, to acquire
the title to the lands, which are said to be
worth from four to leu dollars per acre.
By this bold and ingenious triok the firm
is understood to have profited to the ex
tent of thousands of dollars. It will be
seen that they got both their tnpentine
and labor free, and pocketed tbe gross
amoant of sales au clear profit. One of
the firm is an ex-member of tbe Florida
Legislature.

plied the beauty,” “prepared tor con
quest. Oh, W> go to Franoe as his wife,
aud be the admiration of all Europe !” A
few days thereafter she was seated iu a
carriage with other ladies at the races iu
Baltimore, and was introduced by Com
modore Barney to Jerome. The history
of her marriage, brief wedded life and
the oruel edict of the Emperor Napoleon
L, whioh separated her from her husband,
is too well known to need repetition. I
have reason to believe that the lady, in
spite of the oruel fate whioh overtook her,
never regretted her marriage. She was
ambitious, and having made a brilliant
marriage and surrounded herself through
life by a halo of romance, which makes
her even now, at ninety-one, one of the
■mat interesting women of America, sbo
has been apparently content. She is en
joying good health, aud refers to her past
with cheerfulness. Her hair, once jet
black, is now white as snow, and no trace
of her former beauty remains.

Washington Correspondence of the Olnoln-
natti Enquirer.]
Whether or no the volume
the subject and the published
views of the wife of the General of the
Army will affect round-dancing at the
National Capital remains to be seen.
Mrs. Sherman’s opinions on the subject
have always been well known here, and
no diminution in the number or persisten
oy of tho dancers has resulted. Her
daugaters have never been allowed to
dance round dances because they are
Catholics, aud tho prelates of that sect in
this Diocese forbid these dances. Gen
Sherman once told me that he disliked to
take his girls where dancing was going
on, as their mother wonld not allow them
to join with their young friends. ~
said he would have liked to have danoing
at his house here if his wife had not ob
jected. He never loses an opportunity
to dance quadrilles or lancers, but
never heard of his waltzing.
Iu this connection it is of interest to
recall to whom we are indebted for tbe
introduction of tho waltz into this neigh
borhood. Jerome Bonaparte and the
voung Frenchman who accompanied him
to Baltimore when he first visited there,
taught tho waltz to the young people of
that city, who speedily learned the novel
dance, aud it became the favorite pastime
Their parents disapproved of it, <
more than many of thorn did of tbe
Frenchman who imported it. I know one
of the ladies who learned the waltz at this
very time. When I knew her she was the
widow of a son of Commodore Barney,
and far advanced in years. When tbe
young nud handsome Mary Chase, the
daughter of the eminent Judge Bamne.1
Chase, of Maryland, she was a
school-mate of Miss “Betsy” Pat
terson, who married Jerome Bona
parte, aud the friendship eon 1
tinned until tho death of Mrs. Barney in
1871. With a gleam of amusement in her
still handsome eyes, Mrs. Barney told me
of how her father forbade her to waltz,
and she slipped away from home after he
was in bed, and danced all night at the
ball Bonaparte gave in Baltimore, and
subsequently at a bull given by herself,
opened tho festivities by a waltz with

Dead wood, Dakota, Ootober 8.—Judge
G. G. Beuneit, ot the United States and
County District Courts, has recently been
tbe subject of official examination ut the
hands of Special Attorney G. K. Chase,
t>f tbe Department of Justice, Washing
ton, aud has emerged from tho ordeal
unsullied. The history of the cause, aud
prosecution of the investigation reveals
not only the complications iuoident to
miuing pursuits, but also exhibits a cote
rie of schemers, among whom stands
Carpet-bag Spencer, of Alabama, T. C.
Platt (Conkliug's fugleman), and several
others, in a very bud light. The
Aurora and Hidden Treasure mines are
located side by side, and consequently
litigation has sprung up between the
companies. Early last spring Bpenoer,
Platt, and others well known here effeoted
a sort of company and secured a large in
terest in the Aurora. About the sume
time, or a short period previously, tho
Hidden-Treasure folks secured from Judge
Bennett an injunction restraining the
Aurora men from removing ore from their
(Aurora) shafts. Of course this action
made the enjoined wince, aud when, later
upon a hearing, Judge Bennett refused to
dissolve the injunction they waxed do-
oidedly hot. The law was consulted and
diligent search made for the statutes or
clauses of relief, but none could be found.
In the meantime Judge Bennett wont to
Yankton to attend Supreme Court, and
the Spencer orowd were iu the hottest
kind of water. Work upon their mines
was at a stand-still, and, they claimed,
they were sacrificing many dollars
per day. Something mutft bo done.
The company had a Senator for a mem
ber, and surely a United States official of
such magnitude could awe a little Biaok
Hills jurist into compliance with any de
mand. Spencer was con ulted; aud
Spencer agreed to go on to Yankton, and
did go, first, however, telegraphing to
Pennington “to hold Judge Bennett un
til I arrive.” “I” reached the capital O.
K., rushed into the Executive Depart
ment and enquired of Pennington if his
his telegraph command bad been com
plied with.
“Certainly.”
“Will you send for him?”
“Certainly.”
“Right away?”
“Certainly.”
“Do so then.”
“Certainly,” and tbe mess tig a was dear,
patohed forthwith. Judge Bennett an
swered the summons in persou, aud re
ceived the grip-saok in his usual courte
ous manner.
Pennington withdrew.
Said Spencer, “Judge, I havo come
on to see yon about that injunction.”
“What injunction ?”
“The Hidden Treasure vs. Aurora. I
would like to havo a talk with you about
Me—-”
“Do you wish to make a motion ?”
“O, no; but I would like to talk with
you about—”
Have you any newly discovered evi
denoe to present?”
“No, I don’t mean that way; but I
would like to show you where it would be
to yonr interest—”
“Sir,” said the justly indignant magis
trate, in a tone that even George C. Spen
cer could not mistake, “you can’t talk to
me in that way,” and ho deliberately left
tbe room.
Spencer grabbed his grip-sack, and
started for tho depot, passing Pennington
on tbe way, to whom he dropped tho re
mark, “A — of a fellow, he.”
A trip to New York; a marriage; a tour
baok to Deadwood, part of tho way the
gnest of Tom Soott, enjoying a palace car
for the exclusive uso of himself and
spouse, were the experiences of the next
few days. Arriving here, he reported.
The report created great surprise, por-
turbed minds aud vehement expressions.
A mail or two later carried to Washing
ton a petition for tho removal of Judge
G. G. Bennett, signed by the attorneys
of the Aurora folks, a few other lawyers,
and was based upon enclosed charges, tho
principal one being that the Judge bad
allowed himself to be approached and had
conversed upon miuing cases, with -liti
gants. This reached Washington
and resulted in the assignment of G.
K. Chase, as attorney to thoroughly
investigate the complaint. Tho agent
faithfully performed his work, and in an
interview with a Times correspondent
anticipated his report, by pronouncing
the charges, one and all, utterly unfound
ed, and dec'aring tho accused to be a
gentleman sans reproach, snd an incor
rigible jurist. What more his royal nibs
Spencer will next introduce no one can
surmise.
The second term of the County Court
opens to-morrow, and speculation is rife
oonoerning what action, if any, Judge
Bennett will take in reference to the law
yers who signed the petition and who are
claimed to be guilty of contempt.

THE MAN-EATEK’S MEAL.
A HOUSE TAMER’S LAST TUSSI.K WITH A MAD
STALLION.
San Franolsoo Chronicle.]
Professor R. C. Tapp, the celebrated
American . horse tamer, commenced, a
week ago, to tAine tho Petaluma Man-
eater, as described in last Sunday’s
Chronicle, and has, every day since, given
publio exhibitions of his process and pro
gress in a temporary nmpitheater iu the
rear of the Record Stables, on Market
street, opposite Seventh. Yesterday,
however, the Man-eater changed tho pro
gramme, and attempted to tame Tapp in
so effective a way that Tapp emerged
sorely wounded, aud only by a miraclo
with his life. The Muu-enter, whoso
other name is Cogniac, is a dark dapple
gray Norman stallion, sovon years old,
weighing iu lighting trim 1,800 pounds,
foaled in Norm-ndy, France; imported
two years ago to Illinois, and subsequent
ly bought by Joseph Wooden, tbe Norman
horse breeder, of Petaluma, and brought
to this State, and declared by horsemeu
to be tho finest horse of the broed ever
brought to America. Until brought to
Illinois be had been an exceptionally gen
tie animal, but, having indiscreetly, and
probably playfally, bitten out a couple of
pounds of an Illinois groom, he waH so
injudiciously and
BRUTALLY BEATEN
that, as Deacon Duooan would sny, ho
experienced a chango of heart, all his
latent deviltry was developed, and ho bus
ever since been the terror of nil whom
necessity has thrown into his company.
With the exception of occasionally eating
a hostler he is an invaluable brute, aud
Mr. Wooden consigned him to Mr. Tapp
to have him cured of this sole little foi
ble. Yesterday at 2 o’clock tho exhibition
o mmeuced in tho presence of nbout two
hundred spectators, and progressed till
half-past 3, during which time the horse
had been handled by the ProfeHHor, and
oven driven to a buggy, nud appeared
perfectly tractable and to have kind of
lost his appetite for stablemen. After
being unhitohed he was cross-hobbled by
aking a stout rope fast from tho fetlock
of his nigh foreleg to that of his off hind
leg, an arrangement which permitted uim
to trot, bnt prevented his galloping as
also his kneeling down, aud which is why
Tapp still lives to again try conclusions
with him. Tho horse stood near tho cen
ter of the inolosed oirole, aud the Profes
sor about midway between him and the
inclosed high barricade, tho horso per
fectly subdued under tho eye of tho com
mander. Some person on a seat, in the
rear of Tapp asked him u question, and
for one instant Tnpp removed his eye and
half turmd his head to answer. Iu that
instant tho crafty brute
SPRANG UPON HIM LIKE A TIGER.
There was a yell of horror from the spec
tators, as the horse caught tho man up
by the olotbes ot the small of his baok,
shook him as a terrier does a rat, and
flnDg him through the air against tho
inclosing planking. Before Tapp could
regain his feet, the ferocious monster was
again upon him, seizing him with his
teeth by tbe left shoulder aud endeavor
ing to kneel down upon him, whioh is bis

KILLING HIS KEEPERS.
This the cross-hobble prevented him
from doing, and the cool professor, with
his shoulder still iu the oruel grip of the
monster’s jaws, struggled to his feet, and
with his right band so hold the bit oh to
prevent, as far as possible, tbe success
ful working of the horse’s jaws. Tho
crowd was intensely excited. Mr.
Wooden seized a long pole, und poked it
between tho halter and tho horse’s lower
jaw, and still further retardod tho biting.
The friends of Tapp called for a
gun, but there was no gun, and
what iR remarkable in-ft collection of two
hundred Californians, no one had a re
volver, or tho murderous brute would
have been shot dead instantly. The horse
and Tapp continued fighting half wny
around the ring, Wooden, on the seats out
side, still hampering tho former's «/fforts
with the pole. Tho spectators on tho
front seats also did all they could to dis
tract the Man-eater’s attention, one lady
seizing the crutch of a man sitting next
her, and beating the horse over tho head
with it. By the aid of these distractions,
Tapp was enabled, by degrees, to draw
his arm through the horso’s jaws, tho
horse

as it slipped away from him, nntil finally
it was entirely withdrawn. The crowd
shouted to Tapp to jnmp for his life, bnt
the plucky trainer colled for his whip,
and with his mangled left arm dangling
by his side, so tickled the fetlocks of
Cogniac that that enterprising animal was
again in what Tapp fondly calls subjec
tion. Last evening tbe trainer was in
tho Rtnble office with a friend pouring ai

HR. IIAI HIPS ACQUITTAL.
From tho Richmond Enquirer.]
Tbe Rev. Dr. E. T. Baird, Secretary
of tbe Presbyterian Committee of Publi
cation, was acquitted yesterday. Tho
indictment was read, charging that Dr.
Buird bad misapplied $7,848 88 of tho
moneya of the Presbyterian Committee
of Publication. Dr. Baird put in h\s
plea of not guilty. Tho evidence, as far
ns it went, tended to show that he had
kept his private account in a rnanuer
jointly with that of the Publication Com
mittee, and that, checking indiscrim
inately on both accounts,, he came at
last to find that he had employed con
siderable sums for bis private purposes
whioh belonged to tho committee. This
fact be had no sooner ascertained than ho
reported it to the committee. His man
ner of living was shown to bo economical
and unostentatious, and in his dealings
with tbe committee several instances
were cited showing his carefulnosH aud
scrupulous exactness in behalf of tho in
terests of the committee. It was shown
also that there was not one month during
the period when Dr. Baird was alleged to

DAY'S GREAT RACE AT BALTIMORE.
New York Sportsman.]
At three years old Parole first appeared
in tho Kentucky Derby. It is well known
that he was not in condition when he was
sent to tho West, uor when he started.
Vagrant was first, Creeduiour second and
Harry Hill third. Eight others started.
Parole was brought baok, and he did not
run again until the Saratoga meeting,
where ho encountered Tom Ochiltree and
Mattio A, in the sweepstakuH for all ages,
a mile und a quarter. He carried 90
pounds, Tom Ochiltree 118 pounds, and
Mattie A 113 pounds, receiving five
pounds’ allowance as a mare in the sum
mer season. Parole went off very fast,
outran them all the way, and beat Tom
twelve lengths in 2:12'/. Mattie A was
twelve more behind the Dig horse. In the
Saratoga cup Tom Ochiltree beat Parole a
length; Tom 118. Parole 97 lbs., Big Sandy
a bad third, Madge behind him. In the
Sequel Stakes, a mile and three-quarters,
with 115 His., Parole won easily mi 3:10},
boating Freebooter, Warlock and Odd
Socks. At Jerome Park, in tho All-aged
Stakes, a mile and a half, ho carried 92
lbs., and ran clean nway from St. Martin,
Warliok, Virginias and Uhadamanthus.
Ho won in a canter by four lengths in
2:38, and St. Martin aud Warlock made a
dead heat for secoud place. It was
noticed in this race tbut he out paeed the
fast horses Viagiuius amt Uhadamanthus
from the first stride, aud this showed
what a clipping race-horse he was ut the
old weights. At Baltimore they still pre
vail. But going to that place aud taking
up 107 pounds, they made running with
him for the Dixie stakes, two miles upon
u very heavy track. He hud all his horses
beat ut a mile and three-quarters, but be
tired at last, aud Virgil, a horse about
twice as powerful as himself, beat him by
five lengths, lleretog was third aud then
followed Algerine, the Sultana and Shirley.
In the Brockiuridge Stakes, two miles,
Virgil carried 115 pounds, including
live pounds penalty, and bout Parole and
Virginius iu 3:37j. Parole begun his
four-ycar-okl career this season by being
second iu a purse of three-quarters of u
mile to Janet Norton ; four others ran.
lie then wou tho Woodburu stakes, for
four-year-olds, beating Ambush, Fiddle
stick aud Virginius in 4:37^. Iu the
sweepstake-, fur all ages, ut Saratoga, 1}
mileH, he was third to Vora Cruz aud Tom
Oohiltroe, between whom there was a
head. It was after one of Parole’s deli
cate, lenten times, when it is not difficult
to beat him with a good horse. But the
race started the secretions and sharpened
his appetite so that, five days afterwards,
he beat Tom iu the cup—a milo further
—by two lengths, aud Vera Cruz was no
where. In the summer handicap, a
mile and three-quarters, Parole oarried
116 pounds, and boat Vera Cruz with
y<; pounds, by two lengths. George
IV., Bushwhaoker and Athleno also
ran. In Ibis race Parole gave
Vera Cruz 23 lbs. for his year, and won iu
3:08. It was just about 1:47 to the milo,
und Parole won easily with 116 pounds.
He hIso won a purse, a mile and a hulf,
with 97 lbs., beating Virginius by six
lengths in 2:36;/ Glasgow also started.
At the Jerome Park fall meeting just con
cluded Parole beat Algerine and Ambush,
threo miles, for the Maturity stakes, for
four-year-olds. He won easily by two
lengths iu 5:39. Tho track was deep and
slow. In the Grand National handicap,
liles anil a quarter, he wus second to
Tom Ochiltree, and carried 115 pounds.
Iu the All-aged stakes, a mile and a half,
weight for age, he was second to Tom
again, and 8t. Martin, Virginius,Algerine,
Idulia, Madge aud Priucotou finished be
hind him.

but their nights in preparing opiniona to
sustain tbe decisions made, thus working
more hours of the twenty-four, by at least
one-half, than members of Congress.
Besides, during the vacation they are
much of the time engaged in the business
of the oironit. As an illustration of the
expense they incur, and which under the
present oiroumstanoes must come out of
their own pockets, it is Raid that Mr. Jus
tice Field travels in the course of the
year, in tbe ordinary oourse of his official
duties, about 9,000 miles, aud for this
and other similar oases a system of mile
age is a just remedy.
Halldostni; In Franco.
Prince Napoleon, who was defeated by
the official candidate, Baron Haussoian,
iu Ajaccio, at the recent French election,
seems to have gone through a good deal
of bulldozing, ordered specially, very
likely by Rouher, the major domo of the
Prince Imperial. A day or .two before
the election Jerome addressed a letter to
Duo de Broglie, MacMahon’s premier,
complaining of the vile treatment he had,
as a candidate, received at the hands of
his opponent, in whioh he said:
“On my arrival at Ajaooio serious facts
occurred whioh I feel bound to denonnoe
to tbe head of justice. A great number
of friends received me when I landed.
Not a single seditious .cry was uttered,
order was iu no way troubled, a trioolored
flag, which had beeu subscribed for, bore
these simple words, ‘The Republican
youth of Ajacoio to Prince Napoleon.’
But on the road, while I was going to my
hotel, gendarmes convoked by the Mayor,
without any writing, charged the orowd
with drawn swords and pistols in tbeir
hands, and took away the flag. This was
a broach of the law. My friends were
threatened by armed agents. The Mayor,
not even wearing bis scarf, put a pistol
to the head of a merchant named Franohi.
The cry of K Sabrez moi cette canaille’
was heard. The gendarmes threatened
violence against M. Peraldi, formerly a
Mayor of Ajaooio, and other honorable
persons. But for the strenuous efforts
of my friends bloodshed would have fol
lowed. These provocations, these facts,
constitute a flagrant violation of the law.
They denote a foregone determination to
foment publio troubles. As a candidate
it is my bounded duty to defend the liber
ty of my electors, and accordingly to ad
dress myself to the head of justice of the
oouutry, aud to call upon him to impose
upon these functionaries respect for duty,
publio order and the laws.”
Of oourse Broglie chuckled when he
read this letter, and showed it to Fourton
with a wink. Thoso gendarmes acted on
instiuotions from Pans.
Goldsmith .Haiti.
The Kentucky Live Stock Record says :
As this remarkable uiare trots on tho Ag
ricultural and Mechanical Association fair
grounds, on Monday, to give our readers
a little sketch of her. Goldsmith Maid
is a blood bay, 16j hands high, foaled the
spring of 1857, by Alexander’s Abdallah,
dam by Abdallah. She was bred by Jno.
B. Decker, Orange county, N. Y., and
kept upon his farm, without -grain or
hnudling, until the winter of 18G5. In
February of that year Mr. Docker sold
her to his son, John B. Decker, Jr., for
$350, who on his way homo with her to
another part of tho country, sold her to
Wm. Tompkins, Hampton,Orange county,
N. Y., for $360. After her purchase,
Mr. Tompkins drove her in harness occa
sionally, and she proved restive and uer-
vouh, so much so that on the 26th of
March, of the same year, Mr. Thompson
sold her to Mr. Aldcn Goldsmith, for
$650.
Mr. Goldsmith took her iu hand and
commenced breaking and training her
for tho turf. Iler high-strung nature
would not brook the whip, but Mr. Gold
smith subdued her high temper and ner
vousness by kindness. In August, 1K65,
she made her first appearance iu publio,
and won a premium at the Orango county
horse association fair in threo straight
heats, in 2:39, 2:37, 2:36.
Mr. Goldsmith trotted her in races in
1866 and 1867, and in November, 1870,
Kohl her to Messrs. B. Jackson aud Bndd
Doble for $20,000. She has since passed
into tho hands of Henry N. Hinith,
Fashion stud farm, Trenton, N. J., but
has remained under charge of her accom
plished driver, Bndd Gobble. Up to tho
1st of January, 1867, she hud trotted iu
132 races, won 92, lost 40, and won some
$232,800. Many of these trots wore
against time, in which she wuh handsome
ly paid for trotting. She stands queen of
the trotting turf, bus tho best time (2:14)
on record, made at Mystic Park, Boston,
Mass., September 2, 1874, and tho fastest
three consecutive boats—2:16, 2:15|,
2:15— made at Buffalo, N. Y., Augnst 3,
1876. As she is now over twenty years
old, age has begun to leave its marks in a
shrunkeu back, etc. We do not expect to
see her beat her mile time, 2:14, but tbe
publio will have au opportunity of seeing
her beautifully cut head and fiery eye and
wonderful style of going that has oarried
her so often to victory.
Tlie Ureal Race at Baltimore.
From the Courier-Journal we take
these:
When the race was made it was done
with a condition ou tbe part of Harper
aud Williams that it should take place on
Tuesday, the first day of the meeting, to
which Mr. Pierre Lorillard agreed, pro
viding that the track was a good one, as
he specially wanted a fast race. Nothing
was said about tbe raoe being postponed
until tho second day if the traok did not
prove fast, although Mr. Lorillatd sup
posed it would be. To this Harper and
Williams could not agree, as they had
specially wanted to run aud win the Bowie
stakes of four mile heats on Thursday,
the third day of the meeting, so that the
the two aud-a-half-mile raoe had to be
run on the first day or not at all. The
result was that for a few hours it looked
very muoh as if there would be no raoe,
nt least none between Parole and Ten
Broeck. Late in the afternoon Mr. P.
Lorillard settled the question by liberally
paying $500 to Harper aud Williams to
postpone the race, with the understanding
that it will take place on Wednesday, and
that tho Bowie stakes will not be run for
until Friday. The offer was accepted by
Harper and Williams and ratifiod by the
club.
The purpose of the Lorillard entries
seemed to b6 to have Ochiltree worry Ten
Broeck. The latter : & jockey felt oonfi«
dent he could beat Tom, aud in riding
paid little attention to Parole.
Auction pools to the amount of $42,000
were sold Tuesday night ou the raoe, the
betting being largely on Ten Broeok.
Ten Broeck's three-mile raoe at Louis
ville was run in 5:26^. Had he ran at
the same rate to-day, the two aud a half
miles would have been made in 4:32, or
5} seconds faster than Parole's record.
It was evidently the purpose of the
Lorillards to run the race exactly as it
took plaoe, and they succeeded admirably
in fooling the fool on Ten Broeck.
