except the policy of Mr. Owens, will be a failure; for It has no other meaning than that Mr. Owens has at last become convinced that be is a failure as a star. That a man wbo is a failure as a star can become a sate oh as a stock actor, remains to be proved. Had Mr.

He seemed to be very much attached to all the members of the party, and was always the first on the train upon leaving and tne first at the hotel upon arriving at a city. Besides, he proved an excellent worker In the field, as several sportsmen among the troupe had tried him; nnd so "Dick" became a favorite with the company. Nearly a year ngo the company stopped at Grand Rapids, where the dog got lost by getting off at the wrong depot. The most diligent search was made, but the minstrel boys were obliged to depart with out their canine friend, il Is loss waa much regretted by the enttre party as they had become very much attached to blm.

Mrs. George Barry Wall, tbe young actress under arrest on Long Island for the murder of ber busbaud, has a Bt. Louis history. During the operatic season of 1876-7 she appeared at De Bar's Opera-house a beautiful young girl not then out of her teens, possessing a wealth of light hair, Jc-t black eyes, cheeks all aglow and a naivete and gayety of manner which begot several admirers on the part nt the male portion of society, and finally turned the bead of one of our most respectable yonng men connected with the family of a Mayor ot the city, and caused him to abandon home and friends to follow in her train to Buffalo. Her beauty of feature and perfection of figure were bewitching, and it is said that while no man could easily forget her.

few could resist the fasclnutlon of her charms. She possessed buoyant spirits never tired of tun and frolic. Hue smiled indiscriminately, 'but lavished all her affections upon an Adonis of the stage. He Willingly became a captive to ber wooing, and rumor lias it -iliat lue conscience of one of our well-known actors is to-day burdened with the sin of her betrayal. It was only when too late that she realized thp extent of ber degredation she struggled long and wearily witb her emotions until at length one cold March eveuing in 1877, hila tbe play was going on within, she appeared at the entrance of the theater in oesnabille and Inquired for tbe object of ber affections.

Her mind bad momentarily gives way under tbe weight of her mental agony. She was tenderly cared for by ber friends, who hurriedly conveyed her in a carriage to ber lover's apartments, where she was detained till she was fully restored to sense and reason.

Hill opened the proceed ina-i by intro ducing Billy Madden, whom he said was tbe first man to back bulllvan with bis money. And so long as 1 bave a dollar be shall bave said Kulllvan. 'Three cheers for Sullivan and Madden. shouted Hill, and the theater shook. "Mr.

A fine sparring entertainment followed. ending with a set-to between Bulllvan and bis trainer, Billy Madden. They were evenly matched in point of science, and. as Sullivan did not use his terrible right hand, honors were about equally divided.

At tbe conclusion oi the entertainment Ar thur Chambers made an attack on William K. Harding. Only one round waa fought, but blood was drawn from the lalterHt nose. Harding did not retaliate, but went one way. while Chambers went another in company with Hullivan and several of bis friends.

Cham bers says that, although he has retired from the ring, Harding keeps brluglng his name forward in a sporting paper, aud recently put forth a challenge to Ham Collyer altogether without authority from Chambers. In speaking upon the subject of remaining in the ring to contest his right to tbe title of champion, Sullivan said: "It "is reported that yon bave made tbe statement mat you will not go into the ring Is thai true "No, I never said that. I made a statement that if I fought again I meant to have my own way. I will make a match to fight any man in America for 910.000, and will put up forfeit, but I will never Jeopardize my liberty again. A man who enters the prize ring has to take a great many chances; be may be imprisoned or he may get poisoned; so I believe that he is Justified in taking precautions.

In this fight the Police Gazette folks did every tiling in the world to avoid a fight, but we made them ashnxned and they had to come to the front. Fox himself acknowledged that I was the belter man of the two." "Did he not bet heavily en Ryan?" "That I can not say, but I know that he hedged on me, and although 1 have not a dollar to lose I'll bet 3X) to flOO that I can prove lu This match was made by the Police tiazette and I bad to accept.

"What do yon think of Eagan "I ueversaw him. but I oiler $100 if he will stand up before with the giovee at any benefit In a set-U In four rounds, and if I don't knock him out of time I'll give htm 125 mors.

"No. If he will sutnd up before me at any benefit I mar bave. and I do not knock him out of time in four rounds, I will give the proceeds to any charitable institution he may mention;" and the champion passed to his dressing-room to prepare for bis encounter with Billy Madden, which took place on tbe stage a few momenta later.

MATJD AHD SER TBAIItU. A representative of the Bpirit of the Times bad aa interesting ebat witb W. W. Bair, the driver of Mand In which that gentleman told a great many unpublished things about the great mare. Among others were tbe following: Spirit Representative Now that Mand bas psatti toovut taut trotting areea log a urna.

will yon ba good enough to give a brief resume of your ear and development of ber powers, and yonr opinion of ber as a pole-mare and a trottert W. W. B. I will gladly do so, as I think too ranch can not be said in ber favor. To begin, I have had her five years, except the summer of i7; I gave her all her work, never allowed any one else to even jog ber.

so specially careful, did yoo sayr Well, very early In our ncqoaintaoee I became convinced she was destined to be a wonder. I found she POMcssed more Intelligence than any animal I ever hud or knew of; that she was teauuable to a point almost human, and 1 always governed her by kindness. R. Did you work her much as a colt, and ss esrly trainlnils a mooted question, please drop a few bints fbr the benefit of breeders? W. tv.

B. Well, I believe that a colt should receive moderate work, but never be taxed to the utmost or trotted severe races. Maud's early training was quite limited. I knew she was fast, aud I always aimed to reserve her powers. As a three-year-old she won ber first race, it waa simply an easy exercise, a single dash against a four-year-old.

s. Did ahe not trot a race as a fonr-year- old at the same placet W. W. B. Yea.

it was at Carthage, Ohio, at the Hamilton County Fair, on a mere show-patb of two-tnirds of a mile. She sbnt them all out on the first beat except Undine, by Hero of Thorndaie, wbo was owned by Mr. Bugher, former owner ot Maud. They all tried to beat me by continued scoring, but she lesrned it very fast, and won the race in straight beats. I was then sure she" would be-liave in company.

She had been running out in her fonr yenr-old form until autumn. S. R. Thank you your swoonnt of tbla race surprises me. as it was supposed by many she did not like company when a colt.

W. W. B. Her strongest hold is in company, and here is an illustration: I bad never driven ber very fast, except alone, until at Buflalo. last summer.

Two days before her race I got Charley Green to drive bis running mate alongside of her. She went very easy, and wheu she attempted to step away at her best rate I would call ber back. I was also talking to Charley occasionally ou the way. I supposed the mile was about 2:1, and could scarcely believe it was 2U1. R.

Please give me an ides as to her action, stride, aboeing, bow you formed ber gait, and like particulars. W. W. When learning to trot she was Inclined to amble, so I put light toe-weights on to regulate her stride, although she never paced. Toe-weights help a young horse to find bis gait; but their abuse is in having them too heavy and keeping them on too long.

I never put tbera on ontll I am ready to speed. I finally used on Maud fifieen- ounce shoes and four-ounce toe-weight forward and eight ounces behind, in all her fast performances, but am satisfied sne would have gone fully as fast and as steady by dispensing with the weights. They were light. bowever. and mere was no necessity ot mak ing tbe experiment.

Her action la as fine as ever was seen no waste of atrengttt or power. Her stride is lS feet: and each step ia even as a die. so I used no quarter boots on ber In her fastest heats, nad ner snoo a lew days ago in Cincinnati, sixteen ounces forward and eleven ounces behind, and discarded the weights. I used to change bits and blinds on her in her exercise, so that she would not become wedded to one kind. When she trotted at Pittsburg.

the bit used was an ordinary anaiHe, and blinders on her bridle, while at Rochester an open bridle and plain bar bit was used, and when she trotted her three fastest heals, at Philadelphia, ahe had a gum bit in ber moutb. H. R. May I trouble you to explain as to her habits, her training and driving qualities? w. First, i win say nere tnau wnue I think certain horses will do better for certain men than they will for others, I disclaim anything of tbe kind in Maud's case.

The secret of my success with her was that I never resorted to narsn measures, but always en deavored to encourage her to trot without breaking or pulling by appealing to ber good sense. She appreciates good treat men tj and has never been stirred op by me. I've taught her to walk eairaiy amid tne greatest excite ment until it was necessary to Jog. She bas so much courage sne would renei against abuse or ill-temper on the part of ber driver. now, mere are plenty or anvers just as oo- serving aa I have been, and I daresay could bave done lust as wen witn ner; sue men aa Mace, Doble, Turner.

Hlckok. band many others. As to feeding, she never gets oft a locomotive would not scare her from ner meals and her other habits are very regular. Her mouth is as fine to the touch as a musical Instrument, she is obedient to the word, and never gels beavy-beaded or drops down on tbe bit in a tired way. sne is aiso coutentea at any gait, fast or slow.

S. K. When did you commence jogging her this year, and what is ber present weight and condition? w. W. B.

-Having then no instructions to the contrary. I began jogging her on January with a view to trotting her. She weighs 1JM0 pounds, and will train down to UM pounds or thereabouts. She stands full 15 hands high on tbe withers, and 16 bands at the loin. 8.

R. That reminds me, all sorts of rumors were circulated about her misfortune at Hartford. hat was tbe real nature of ber ailment, and is she perfectly sound? W. B. She is to-day aa sonnd as when she left her mother's side.

The trouble at Hartford was simply pink-eye. and nothing more; it came upon ber suddenly, and swelled one of ber legs the -most, but when we got bome, both filled np from its effects. Come and look ber over critically. 8. R.

She appears in tbe bloom of health; her feet look and feel to me as sound aa sound can be. Judging from the past, she bas not reached her limit, W. W. B. No, indeed, she hasn't.

I pledge you my word she can be made to trot in 2:05, and faster would not surprise me. Why, she is Just approaching her prime. She hasn't been injured as a colt. Last year I could not help noiising that age enabled her to do ber work stronger aud with greater ease that she could carry her two minute brush further, and it is only reasonable to predict she will continue to Improve. I think I can drive ber a bait mile in a minute.

S. R. Now then, coming to the question of the hour, what is your opinion of ber as a performer to tbe pole? W.W. B. I bave never yet seen a horse more nearly approaching perfection for this Duroose.

She can start auicklv. going from a three-minute to fifty yards. In short, I don't think there is her equal. All this is now self-evident, as we have had her along side of William H. and Lysander respect ive! v.

who are tbe best pole-horses In New York, by the record, and she acts as if she ean out-pole either or them, although she is green one at tbe business. S. R. Have yon given ber any training to qualify her for doable team purposes? W. W.B.

Yes; but merely slewwork. Know ing that Mr. vsnoerotit would eventually re-oulre her in his team. I was In the babitof jogging ber in tbe winter as a mate to other horses one day on the nigh side, and th nextday on the offside, shifting her about to teach her its uses. I soon found it didn't make any difference to her -where she was placed or what horse I bitched with ber.

exercised Deck Wright that way with ber and found he was clever. 1 did not make a practice of starting ber faster than a road gait in the winter, and so never speeded ber double, except on one occasion, for a short dlstsnce, alongside of Harry Clay, record 2:23. She then and there confirmed my opinion that she would "fill the bill" ss thoroughly to tne nole as she had to tbe harness. S. R.

Yoo bave driven William H. with her, and seen Lysander also, go alongside of ber. Which do you regard as the most suitable one of the two to work fast with her? W. W. B.

I think Lysander's disposition and wsvs are better adapted to going with ber than William although the latter Is extremely fast and steady. I was delighted to find that she suited Mr. Vanderbllt, and that she waa perfectly controllable in bis bands. We showed quite a merry clip with Maud and Lysander on Seventh avenue; but it was a mere exercising gait compared with the spin he gave them on Fifth avenue, away from tbe crowd. It is no trouble for them to show a twenty gait.

S. R. How fast do yon predict she will go with William H. or Lysander? W. W.

B. I firmly believe In 2:1 or 2:17 sure, because she can assist her mate, and all the driver will have to do is to keep the other horse at his best, and regulate Maud's move ments. She is quite a weignt-puuer, ana can almost beat a running horse taking an up grade. In shape she can carry Mr, Vander-iit in h'is light road-wagon in 4:16 or 2:17, and I have no donbt I ean drive her a mile to a track akeleton In 2:12 or better. CHICAGO'S TBOTTIWQ XXKTtKQ.

Tbe prospects for a grand summer trotting meeting over the Chicago Driving Park course next July, says the Times, are very bright. Since tbe publication of tbe programme, which hangs np $52,000 to be trotted for, Secretary Hall bas been In communication witb the trotting-horse owners of tbe country, and finds a very general expression of Intention to enter horses here. Last year. under the operation of the same plan, I there were ever one hundred and fifty entries; this year they are liable to exceed two hundred. Mr.

Hall has made out a list of tbe possible and probable starters in tbe faster classes, which gives a better idea of the oat-look than any thing else could. The lists of probable starters are very carefully made np, a large proportion of tbem being included aa the result of communication with the owners. An Inspection of tbe list of 2:30 horses actually on the turf and eligible in the various classes furnishes tbe following figures: 2:17 class. 10, of which 4 are stallions; 2:19 class, SI. of wbteb 6 are stallions; 221, 38.

HE WILL BAXO. Sletlen for a New Trial In tbe Belctaa Case Overruled. Tbe chances for William Belcham stretch ing hemp are first-class. It will be re mem bered that Belcham on the third day of last September, killed a man by tbe name of Pat rick Hughes.

To use the language of Judge Fayette Smith, before whom the case was tried, it was a most atrocious murder, and for ferocity has few parallels. The victim bad no less than seven knife wounds upon his person, two or more of which would have proved fatal. It was in evidence also that after the man was lying dead at tbe feet of bis slayer Belcham got astride of tbe corpse and committed a nameless outrage noon it, A female witness, a Mrs. McDonough, testified to witnessing this fiendish act of barbar ism; but her statement remained uncorrob orated, and the prisoner vehemently and dra matically denied Its, truth on tbe witm stand. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon tbe prisoner was brought before Judge Smith, who gave bis (decision on a motion for a new trial.

Tbe objections were numerous. and the Court entered into their analysis and discussion very fully, requiring over an bour to dispose of them. Among tbe grounds for asking for a new trial was tbe exclusion of juror named Neff who bad constitutional ob-1 er-tLons to tbe death penalty. This juror asked to be excused from serving. Another object iou waa that the Court permitted Mrs.

McDonough to testtfy as to a certain act that was alleged to have oc curred after the killing. Another was that Mr. Wuesl was allowed to testify that he heard a woman shout. "Oh, they are mur dering him." The Court disposed of this by remarking that thla testimony is competent for ihe reason that tbe fact is admitted that Belcham killed Hnghes. Another was that the Court permitted Luke bran nan to called as a witness after all the testimony in chief was in.

Another that tbe verdict was against the weight of evidence. These and several others the Court reviewed seriatem and at great length, and concluded by overruling the motion for a new trial. Tbe prisouer, an elderly, gray-beaded, brown-eyed man, with foil gray and with a look of oissipation in every lineament of bis countenance, sat beside his counsel. Captain K. Potter Dustin, and seemed apparently unmoved, though, of course, fully aware that this was the last chanee for his life.

Even when tbe Court bad finished his full and fair statement, and all hope of a new trial was dispelled, Belcham showed no signs of trepidation, but sat as unconcerned, as far as outward appearances indicated, as any of the numerous spectators io the room. Captain Dustin requestea i tie court, viieu i-rose- cut or Outcait naa snggestea mat mere waa nothing left lor mm to oo in tne case hot ask the Court to pass sentence on tbe prisoner, that a delay of a few days should be had to allow bis associate counsel.

Judge Smith remarked to Mr. Outcait that the request was hut reasonable, and thereupon the prisoner waa taken back to Jail by Criminal Bailiff Joe Moses. Tbe Court remarked, during the course of his decision, that if there was one feature prominent throughout the whole course of the it waa tbe fact that this murder ui the result of the excessive use of beer and whisky.
