MR. GRATTAW SPEAKS.

He Evidently Overlooks (lie Con-stitution and Kclics on a Kule.

Mr. M. T. Grattan publishes a card inthe Chicago Breeders' Gazette of last week,In which he unnecessarily goes out of hisway to make some personal reflections.When a person is the most confident thathe is right he is then the most liable to bemistaken, and it appears to us that Mr.Graftal] is in that position. In the firstplace this department of the Gi.ohk hasnever made any remark about the matter ofthe rule referred to that would warrant Mr.Grattan in referring to it. He has probablyconfounded the Farmers' Advocate with theGlobe. This, however, is not very ma-terial. What we desire to do is to point outwhere, in our opinion, Mr. Grattan hasfallen into error. His card is as follows:

The horse editor of the St. Paul Globe isnot blessed with a good memory and ho doesnot take the trouble to consult the authoritieswhen be writes. Upon page 10 of the Con-stitution mid By-laws of the Minnesota Trot-ting and Pacing Morse Breeders may be foundthe following: "Sec. C. Only horses bred andraised In Minnesota by members, or the getof stallions owned or stood by members, shallbe eligible to entry "

Iendeavored to get the rule changed co asto read, Coaled in Minnesota, in order that Mr.Kathau's Stiles might compete, as thisyoungster was got In lowa and foaled In Min-nesota. B-uig refused this reasonable re-quest I witndrow from the association, whichpermitted Mr. Tinkle's colt, got in New Yorkand Coaled In Minnesota, to compete indirectopposition to 1 1»• - t'Tins of the ri. o. Ifbelc<:eps the money it is si ply because theowners of tho other colts do not iuforco theirlegal rights. Now, then, without any changeof section 0 ofrule 1 a resolution is adoptedaccording just » lint Iasked. Rut which willgovern, the rule or the resolution? Has itlio«'n forgotten that there are rules? Itwould ii eetn so. and therefore it becomes my duty tosnatch a moment from the work whichbrought me here to Washington to remind theGi.obk and its readers of the fact that asimple resolution doss not repeal a rule, whilethe existence ofboth will lead to further en-tanglements and misunderstandings. For mypar! Ibelieve now that for the sake of har-mony, when ssotioa 6of rule lis repcHl«-d.that the rule of the Northwestern associationLad better be adopted. M. T. G.

Mr. Grattan; in the above, quotes rule 6.to show that "only horses bred and raisedin Minnesota.* 1 should be eligible in certainraces in this state, and claims thatMr. Finkle's colt got in New Yorkand foaled in Minnesota, was allowed tocompete- in direct opposition to theterms of the rule. Mr. Grattan even goesso far as to say that if Mr. Finkle "keensthe money It is simply because the ownersof the other colts do not enforce their legalrights." Here is where Mr. Grattan hasmade his mistake. The entry of Mr.Finkle's colt did not in any way come un-der or depend upon this rule. The rule didnot apply to him or his colt. Mr. Finkle'scolt was allowed to trot in Minnesota,under Article VI., Section 1, of the Minne-sota association, which reads as follows:

Section 1. At least one general meeting'shall be held under the auspices of this asso-ciation in each year, at such date and placesas shall be announced by tbe executive com-mittee. Entries to be confined to geldings offiveyears old and under, and to mares andstallions of any ago, owned, bred or foaled InMinnesota previous to this organization, bymembers of this association, or stallions orthe get of stallions owned or stood by mem-bers.

Mr. Finkle complied with all that is re-quired by this section of the constitution.His colt was owned by him previous to theorganization of the Minnesota association,and Mr. Finkle is and then was a memberof the association. The situation of Mr.Finkle and his colt, and also the situationof Mr. Sherwood, who has his breedingfarm just over the line in lowa, were bothcanvassed when the association was formed,and both gentlemen were admitted and theirstock was made eligible to the races. Thiswas done by the constitution itself. (Seearticle IV.forMr.Slierwoodand article VI.,quoted above, for Mr. Finkle's Lord Nel-son.) The rule quoted by Mr. Grattan issimply a rule, and was made after the con-stitution was adopted, and for the purposeof declaring what horses should thereafterbe eligible. Those present at the fust meet-ing when the constitution was adopted hadto start somewhere, and they then declaredin their constitution that Mr. Sherwoodmight become a meniber.the same as thoughhis farm was located in Minnesota. At thesame time they declared that Lord Nelsonshould be eligible to the races. This, then,was the starting point, with Sherwood inand Finkle's colt In. The association thendeclared what horses should thereafter beeligible. The whole point is that the rulequoted by Mr. Grattan does not apply toMr. Finkle's colt, as that animal was madeeligible by the constitution, which is abovethis rule, anyway, and was adopted beforethe rule was.

THE LESSOR TAUGHT.

The Addition*! to the 2:25 List Dnr*lac IBM Year ISM.

Taking the aggregate number ofadditionsto the 2:25 list for 1885, we find there are 3less than the contribution for the previousyear, which was 10S. Comparisons showthat while there is a slight falling off in thelist for18S5, on the other hand there is animprovement in the speed average. Out of108 horses that trotted In 8:55 or better forthe first time In 1884. 55 were new to the3:30 list, 58 old members lowered theirrecords to 2:25 or better, and 28 of the oldmembers of the 2:25 list got better marks.

In 1885, 07 new 2:30 horses trotted in2:25 or better, 43 old members trotted in2:25 or better, and 88 2:25 horses loweredtheir records. This shows a total of 141horses for 1884 that trotted in 2:25 or bet-ter, and 138 that performed the feat miss.-,.The sum total to date of the 2:25 list is 705performers, or over one-third of tbecnthe2:30 list. Five of the new 2:30 horses for1885 trotted in 2:20 or better, against 3for 1884. This Is not a great numer-ical gain, but when we consider the diffi-culty in acquiring the fast-speed limit in asingle season, it denotes healthy progress.Of the thirty-eight old members that low-ered their records, Maud S stands at thehead with her wonderful mile in 2:08%.Next conies Majolica, who went two sec-onds better than his old mark of 2:17. fol-lowed by the great campaigner, Phyllis,8:15K. The states east of i the Mississippicontribute twelve of the improving kind,notably Glen Miller, who dropped from2:27^ to 2:18, and henna Swallow from2:27K to 2:19. California also performedher share in furnishing the 2:20 listwithAnteeo, from 2:24 to 2:16. the fastestrecord by a performer bred in the state;Autevolo from 2:29% to 2:29^, Arab from2:!»0M t02:17#, Guy Wilkcs from 2:10,'/to 2:18.V£ and Adalr from 2:21 to 2:17 1

ENTERING INTO rCBTBBB COMPARISON,the family standing shows an immaterialdifference from the statistics of 1884. TheHambletonians are represented by 54 per-formers, against 49; the Mambrino Chiefsby 8. against 13; the Clays by 0, against 5;the Vermont Black Hawks by 5, against 4;the Blue Bulls by 2, against 4, and theLor.g Island Black Hawks by 3.

The 2:20 list now includes 154 members,an increase of 23 over 1884. In tho entirelist 17 of the sires had records of2:30 orbetter themselves, and of these 17, 5 werecontributor* in 1885. namely: Nil Desper-andum, 2:24; Sultan, 2:24; Paneoast,2:21%; Black Pilot, 2:30. and White Line,2:30. These beat the figures of any previ-ous year. Of the 154 performers in the list,23 made their debuts last year. Takingthese new-comers by families, we find 10are by Hamblotonian sires. 6 of the Mam-brino Chief family, 3 Blue Bulls, 1 Clay, lVermont Black Hawk, 1 Pilot and lofpacing ancestry. Electioneer and Blue

| Bull are the leading progenitors, having 3I each. In the female line, we find 6 areout of Harabletonlaa dam«. 3 out of Mam-briM Chief mares. 3 out of Clays, 2 out of

, Vermont Black Hawks, and the balanceout of mare3of miscellaneous breeding.

In our 2:25 list we give the breeding ofsire and dam ofeach performer. The 2:20division represents the maximum and mini-mum of the speed limit, according to latter-day ideas, and is the best guide forthebreeder. Whoever masters the lesson itteaches and follows its. precepts cannot goastray. —Spirit of the Times.

The Queen in Winter Quarters.Maud S Is quietly passing the winter in

Mr. Bonner's stable in Fifty-fifth street,near Fifth avenue. She has been let up,and care is taken to have her feet dressedto a perfect balance. In lieu of half-frozengrass, she receives carrots every day. andthese keep her cooL Mr. Bonuer thinksshe docs better on them than she would onany winter grass outside ofKentucky. Sheis fullof play, and is walked every day onthe uncovered path around the stable. Sheis very fond of hay, but the allowance issomewhat restricted, as it is not the desireto have her. to use a stable phrase, belly-down. The groom who leads her carries asmall bundle of hay under his arm. and shenibbles at it, and thus is kept quiet Werethere nothing to attract her attention, shemight injure herself in one of her frolic-some bounds. There is less danger fromcold in this kind of treatment than therewould be in turning the mare out to shiveron the bleak hills back of West Plains. Theidea is to introduce as much of nature intothe stable rest of the queen as is possible.About Feb. 10 she will wear harness againand slow jogging will begin. The musicswill gradually be hardened, and the greatchestnut will be ready for the sharp workof the trainer in May. The task betore herof cutting down her own record of2:08% isa great one, but who will drive her when(he supreme moment arrives is a riddlewhich the future alone will solve. —Turf,Field and Farm.

\u25a0 The Year-Olds.The commanding four-year-olds of 1884

were Sallie Benton, 2:17?*; Hinda Rose,2:19&; Elvira, 2:18}^; Early Dawn. 2:21%:Don Carlos, 2:23>£. and Fugue, 2:24 J£. Aslive-year-olds, neither record was changed.Sallie Uenton and Hindu BOSS were trainedbut did iut start the Palo Alto stable set-ting oil" on its trip to this side of the Rockymountains. Don Carlos was called uponto do stud duty, and Fugue lost form.Early Dawn was taken sick at St. Louis,failed to meet the expectations of her ownerand iis now dead. Elvira became totallyblind, and \vi" enter breeding ranks thecoming spring. Epaulet proved to be thebest of the. five-year-olds. He started inthe spring without a record, and wound upin the fall with 2:19 to his credit A yearago he was completely overshadowed bySailie Benton, Hinda Hose, Elvira andEarl} Dawn. Now he towers in reputationabove all of these. We can never tellwhata twelvemonth willbring forth. The horseswhose prospects look the brightest to-daymay pass into eclipse before another sum-mer is gone. —Turf, Field and Farm.

Talk of a Great natch.There is some talk of a great match for

two-year-olds next season between thechestnut colt Stockton and one of the Kan-cocas lot Mr. Lorillard has always had afondness for matches, and It willbe remem-bered that on the day that Dewdrop wonthe Champagne stakes Mr. Lorillard toldus we could state that he was willing tomatch one of his yearlings against any inthe country for a race as two-year-olds in1880. We made the announcement at thetime, but many had not tried their yearlingsand no notice was taken of it. Since thenthere has been a rumor dying about that thecolt Stockton was taken to Brighton beachduring November and given a half mile infifty seconds. A great many doubt itsimply because ithas never been done. Itis a great teat, almost superequine in thelight of the past, but the older we grow themore we are convinced that a forward year-ling or two-year-old is as fast, if not faster,than he ever Is afterward. With age he ac-quires the ability to carry his speed overmore ground, but often loses his high burstof speed, as would be seen Ifthe races wererun slow with a burst at the finish. Buthowever this may be. we have it on goodauthority that Stockton's owners are veryjubilant over his prospects, and have thrownIt out to some of the Rancocas people thatif Mr. Lorillard wants a match they willgratify him. Stockton is the colt by Spend-thrift-Doubt who brought 36,100 last Juneat Madison Square garden, Mr. EL O. Ber-nard and David Johnson buying him jointly.At the time he was calf-kneed, and had ahock which looked predisposed to curbs,but in conformation he is one of the high-est types of the modern thoroughbred thesun ever set upon. He is one of the pre-cocious kind— furnished and developed likean old horse, charming in his blood-likequality, lie is with Howe's lot at Ford-ham. —Spirit of the Times.

Prize Fighting ?lu*t Cease.Special to the Globe.

New Your, Jan. 17.—Prize fighting hascaused a row in the Athletic club which isthe largest and richest gymnastic organiza-

i tion in America, with a new and magnifi-'. cent house in a fashionable quarter. In, this building the pugilists have lately had a

! refuge from the police, who have compelled; them to be so gentle in hall exhibitions that\ the encounters have las! all their attractivej qualities. In the Athletic club-house, how-{ever, several bloody, braising, downrighti earnest battles have taken place with the

hard gloves and lists only covered by thingloves, and nothing lacking to render thesport genuine of this kind. Accounts of

\u25a0 these doings appear at full length in thei newspapers, and now the police give noticethey will force an entrance whenever theybelieve that a prize light is in progress, stopthe slugging and arrest everybody present.In this strait some of the memberswish to prevent the reporting of suchevents, but that cannot be done, becauseseventeen reporters, besides several editors,belong to the club and have paid their shareof the £200,000 which the property costThe controversy Is centering upon a pro-posed by-law forbidding members to divultreanything that goes on, but such rules haveavailed nothing in the fashionable socialclubs, every one of which has numerousmembers who are concerned by investmentor occupation in journalism. In a recentinstance at the Union club, when two youngfellows fought in the billiard room as lateas 11 o'clock at night, live papers had cir-cumstantial accounts next morning. Aninvestigation was ordered, but it was foundthat, ifexpulsion was to be made the pen-alty of divulging the facts, no less thaneleven rather influential members would belost. Two were editors, four were stock-holders in papers and the rest had has-tened through friendship to convey thenews into newspaper offices. The upshotwill probably be that prize fighting mustcease in the athletic clubs.

The Great Billiard Match,.Special to tbe Globe.

New Yock. Jan. 17.—Preparations forthe great fourteen-inch balk-line Interna-tional billiard match, between MauriceVignaux and Jacob Schaefer, which is tocommence on the evening of Tuesday, thethe 2Cth inst, are being rapidly pushedforward, and Schaefer and Viguaux arenow in active practice. It will be one ofthe greatest billiard matches played heresince the fatuous games between Phelanand Seereiler, and Dudly, Kavauagh andSeerelter. Both experts are in splendidplay, and already some creditable runs havebeen made. During the last three daysVignaux has made runs of 80, 100, 110 and115. Schnefer's best runs have been It,105 and 110. In a six-hundred point gameto-day Schaefer averaged a fraction over 17.

Chance* for a Western League.The decision of the National league to

nave the combination composed of eightclubs instead of six, will, to a certain ex-tent, affect the organizing of a Westernleague. Washington has been admitted,and a committee appointed to decide be-tween Kansas City and Indianapolis. Thecommittee is in favor of Kansas City. Tobe admitted to such an organization is anhonor to the city, and though totally unpre-pared, if consent is given, Kansas Citymight accept the invitation exte:;ded. Theformation of a Western league composed ofthe cities of Kansas City. St Joe, Omaha.Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis andDuluth, is being met with considerablefavor. Mr. Sullivan, a base ball enthusiastof Kansas City is in St Paul arranging forsuch a league, but the decision of theNational league and the report of the com-mittee of arbitration between Kansas Cityand Indianapolis may delay any furtheraction.* Mr. Sullivan is a sensible man.however, and that he is in favor of aWestern league of which Kansas City willbe a member there is no question. At thistime Kansas City would be unable tosecure players equal to those nowretained by the old members of theNational league, and the result wouldbe very poor exhibitions at Kansas Cityand slim attendances. With a Westernleague of the cities named, all would haveequal chanches in securing players andeach club would be about equal in strength.Ifa large attendance is desired the clubsmust be evenly matched so that the gameswill be interesting to the spectators. Thishas been demonstrated in other seasons.Home interest sinks to a minimum whenits own team Is being continually defeated.It is to be hoped that Kansas City willignore the National league and join in theorganization of a Western league.

ITlcCny and Dempsejr.Pete McCoy has been making strenuous

efforts to secure a meeting, for stakes ofSi,ooo a side, public or private, with JackDerapsey, but the latter flatly declines tomake a match for a less sum than 5i. 500 aside, which is a higher figure than thefriends of Mac care to put up on a match.They rightly argue that the former amountis quite large enough foranyone in the classto which these boxers belong to battle for.and that a purse of a cool Si. ooo to thewinner ought to meet the approval of anyman who is willingto fight and feels confi-dence in his ability to beat the man whodesires to tackle him. That Is certainly asensible view of the matter, anil as welearn that members of a prominent clubhave guaranteed a purse of the value men-tioned for a mill between Jack and Pete,the proper thing for the former to do, If hewishes to maintain his reputation as anout-and-out fighter, is to promptly agree tothe fair terms offered, as McCoy has al-ready done.

Athletics at Yale.Special to the Globe.
