This rear has been one of the most notable in the history of the turf, and the number of voung horses that have made records as trot ters is unusually great. Now that the G-and Circuit for 1S90 is at an end an esti mate of the success o! the trotting season is possible; for the Grand Circuit is the final court of appeals to which the owner of the trotting horse makes application for judg ment. The produce of Jl3rubrino Kins, owned by C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo, have won more races than the produce of any otber sire, and the veteran James Goldsmith has provea the most successful driver, having held the reins over three of the seven who have won the most money. Mambrino Maid, by Mam brino Startle, has won the most money. 57,125; and Dallas, who stands next her in point of earnings, has made the fastest time, 2:lli, at Cleveland. A WEAK SPOT. The circuit of 1890 was made up of ten cities, but Albany, which has been a weak spot in the chain, dropped out after the dates had been arranged and those of i en York and Philadelphia were moved up in consequence. These two cities had the only really bad streak of weather in the season, Kew York suffering especially -and being able to pull off only two days' trotting. The attendance in nearly every instance has been very good. The racing practically opened at Pitts- i burg. The track was good, but slow time -was made, as all the flyers were at the blue -ribbon meeting at Detroit, where Palo Alto and other attractions were held out The fastest heat ot the meeting was the 2:16 of Dallas in the 2:20 pacing class. Even in the free-for-all, 220 was beaten in but one heat. The next link in the chain was Cleveland, and here 11 races were pulled off, with 47 heats trotted. The brat sensational heat -was the 2:11 of Adonis, in which that great sou ot Tom Hal, Hal Pointer, carried the Ciliiornian clear out to the wire and then beat him the last three heats. Leopard Eosc was the surprise of the week, for this circus-looking mare beat a grand field in tlie 2:30 class, trotting thrco successive heats in 2.1 2:20 and SJ&J, In tlie 2:17 pace the California mare Cricket, by Steinway, forced out Dallas in 2:lli and tben won tlie last three heats m a tire-heat contest in 2.16, "0.1 and 2:1 Tho Buffalo meeting was. as usual, a great ucces. LeopsTdRogeoocTjed out with atbree-stralrht-heat victory, 'ihe best race ol the meeuugwajtnat won after nine heats had been trotted, .hisuastbo second longest race of tbe circuit. Sallas turned tlie tables on Cricket here, for be let her pace two beats In 2.15)4 aud -U3!i and beat her out tbe next three. Ed Aunaii, of wbom much nas expected, started in at this meeting, but he did no: win a cent anywhere Palo Alto trotted his only cir cuit race here, and Hon a good ftve-beat race. JockBouen had his 'J" string here J. R. tibedd, Jesse Hanson and Jean Valjean, and took third money twice with the first and last named horses. HAD BIG FIELDS. Rochester cot tbe big fields. The Flower City stake, which led off the meeting, had a dozen starters. The race was won by Keno F, after a stubborn battle of six heats. Here Cricket paced a mile in 2.12. Leopard Rose got her first and socond circuit defeats, and Mam brino Maid scored her fourth successive vic tory. The meeting at Poagbkeepsie was marked by tbe grandest race of the 3 ear. This was the victory score 1 by Driver Ed Geers behind Ktevie in a ten-beat race over tea competitors, 'of wbom se en stayed to the finish. Here, too, ilarabnuo Maid got her tirot circuit defeat, and here Hal Pointer paced a great race in 2.12?.;. 2.16 and 2.16. At Hartford the star event was the 110.000 stake, handilx won by Prince Regent from a good field, bunmocolon won tbe (3,000 stake, and Dallas had an easj thing in the 4.000 pac ing stake. fepunheld bad a successful meeting, and the stakes were won well, ilambrmo Slaid was in fine fettle here, and defeated Prince Regent in , grand shape, winning the 2:22 class trot by . trotting the three winning heat in 2J9, 2:17 and 2.20, while the stallion won his heats in . 2J7 and 2:18. It was as much a victory for Goldsmith as for his mare. In the other jo, 000 race that for 2.25 horses Pamlico laid up two beats and thcu won easily. Dallas won the pacing stake, and paced a mile in 2:11 in doing it. The work at New ork and Philadelphia is told in tbe summary below Heavy tracks made trotting hard work. Following is a resume of the racing at each city. In each case tbe events are trotting wbere not otherwise t'tated. Toe average of tbe entire circuit Is a shade better than 221. - BESUME OF HACINC.

Great Intercut Centered in the Bis 810,000 Stake. Event by Hortemcn. TfPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Lexington. Kt., September 27. There has been no trotting in Kentucky this week, the interest centering in Cincinnati, where the last meeting of tbe Bluegrass Circuit was held. The work of preparation, however, for the coming meeting of the Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso ciation has been going steadily on, and good reports are coming from the numerous candi dates for the various stakes. The conditions of the great $10,000 stake of this association, which were given to the public this week, have been extensively commented on by breeders and owners. The universal opinion is that the con ditions are very .favorable to a large field of starters, and the stake ought to fill with the get of the most famous stallions in the land. As the nominations do not close until Decem ber 1 of the present year, there will be ample opnortunity lor every breeder who wishes to take advantage of this great feature to do so. J. 1). Creigbton left here the first of this neek. and I see he has been buyiDg up good ones in Ohio to add to his already splendid string of promising youngsters. While there have been no large transactions in horseflesh this n eek the market is still strong, and shows no sign of becoming weak. Tbe small crop ot colts foaled this year, ouing to widespread "slipping" o' foals last winter and spring, is largely responsible for tbe present strong tone of tbe'market, and added to this the wonderful lot of 2, S and 4-year-olds that have sbown up in Kentucky this season, it can readily be seen wby good prices are asked for young trotters in the Bluegrass.

This seemed to be the public opinion, because there were only 439 people paid to see yesterday's game between the Brooklyn and home P. L. teams, at Exposition Park. It was the last championship game of the season between the clubs and it was not of the brilliant kind. The visitors won it with bands down and it was too much onesided to be of interest. When the game started the weather, was damp and cold, and the grounds were in a wretched condition. Base running was out of the question and fielding was extremely diffi cult. Hemming was a puzzle to tbe home players, and Morris was somewhat easy for tbe visitors, Tbe home players never looked like win ners becaus: tbey could not hit the balL Only one of their runs was earned and that was secured in tbe sixth inning on Beck ley's three-bagger to Tight field, and Carroll's sacrifice bit. Too other two runs were made after tbe side sbonld have been out. Joyce's fumble. Fields' sacrifice and singles by Visner and Beckley gained the runs. The visitors got their first run on a single by Joyce and two sacrifice hits. Errors by Fields, Corcoran and Beckley and a sacrifice by Cook scored three more in the fonrtb. Fields and Kuehne got Joyce between third base and home and when Jocko made a rush to touch Joyce be. Jocko, missed him and he fell down. He threw the ball wild while lying on his back and Joyce and Hemming scored. A corking three-bagger by Bauer, Orr's single, lie Geachy's double and Joyce's single, all straight off tbe reel, in the eighth, earned three more runs. The score: riTTSBURG. R B F A El BROOKLYN.

Milligan, of the Philadelphia Players' League, bad a long consultation with Cham berlain, the Columbus pitcher, Wednesday,, but whether any understanding was reached it Is not known, though both deny that they talked on that subject. To-day Tim Keete, of the New York Players' club, has been in consultation with Gastright. another ot the Columbus pitchers, and one of the most promising in the country Gastright states he was offered a good contract to sign, but be thinks he knows when he has a sure and good enough, thing, and nill remain with Columbus next season. National League Record. Brooklyn has tbe National League pennant safe for this season, bnt there is a desperate race going on between Chicago, Philadelphia and boston for second place. On paper Phila delphia has much tbe best of it, as that club's games are with the two weakest clubs in tbe League. Tbe New Yorks are playing strong and they may give Anson a tough argument at tbe wlnilup and this reduces Chicago's chances for the position. Following is the standing of the clubs up to date: o 3 ?

AYERYARTFDLQFFEE Mr. Fox Wants to Back Sullivan Against Slaviu for $25,000. MADDEN MUST BE THE TRAINER. English Leading Sporting Authorities Com ment on the Battle. GENERAL SP0ETI5GNEWS OP INTEREST fBY DUJfLAP'S CABLX COMPAjrT.l London, September 27. Billy Hadden, the veteran pugilistic expert, being inter viewed by your reporter delivered him self thus: "ily opinion is that Joe Mc Auliffe has not enough of the devil in him. If he had only fought the second round as ho did tbe first be would have knocked Slavin out, bnt then, you see. It wasn't in time." The reporter ventured to express his opinion that American boxers must now take a back seat. Whereupon Madden smiled sarcastically and said: "Not a bit of it. I believoatbat in Jobn L. Sullivan America possesses the cham pion fighter of the world. Why Dick Fox is ready to match Sullivan against Slaviu for $25. 000 if Sullivan will agree to be trained by Mr. Billy Madden. Esquire. You see Slavin owes his success to bis being able to last a bit longer than Joe. and be was dead beat himself at the finish. Why, 1 tell you, if McAuliffa bad fought Slavin with the same spirit that Slaviu showed he would have knocked him out, sure as eggs is eggs," "Do jou consider it was a fair fight, Mr. Madden?" "Fair? Course it was fair and square, and the man who sajs it wasn't don't know much about the matter. Never was a fairer fight inside tbe ropes." and the pugilist departed muttering fair ana square and no blooming shananagin about it. Richard K. Fox called at tbe cable agency and said: "There is no donbttlat tbe best man won. Joe was tired out after the first round and bad no vim ever after. I'm sorry, but Joe has no chance in front of Slavin." He fully agreed with what Madden had said about Sullivan and eventually wrote to the Dalzicl agency as follows: "Gentlemen If John L. Sullivan will box Frank Slavin and allow himself to be trained by Billy Madden I will back him to viin 525.000. Sullivan to take tbe winnings if victorious, this offer to remain open for two weeks from date and the money to be deposited with tbe tzportsman or Sporting Life newspaper. Richard K. Fox. Mr. Crichton Temple, the proprietor of tbe Ormonde Club, being interviewed, said that tbe policemen present were perfectly satisfied that everything nasdone decently and in order. Slavin was quietly confident and McAulllfe was cock sure. He thought Slavin would win in five rounds, bnt was surprised at the short ness of the fight. McAuliffe seemed to have it all bis own way at the first round, but he could not stay: in fact there was a marked difference In the men. McAuliffe was a splendid sparrer but had no devilment, while Slavin was devil all over. McAuliffe was full of good nature while Slavin was terribly in earnest. Slavin was nervous in the first round, but he is a superb inflghter, and McAuliffe could not stand np to close work. He was not game enough, and seemed to lose heart when be found bis blows took no effect. He bad not the stuff in him to make a really great fighter. McAuliffe was very queer alter tbe fight, and stayed at the club for a long time. Being asked whether Slavin would meet Jack son, Mr. Temple said that be did not think there would be any more big tights in England and this was the last ol the big purses. There was not show enougb for the money. Slavin told your reporter that he was too tired to talk, as he had been all the morning visiting bis friends and calling on the sporting papers. H.wever, he refused to confirm the report that he bad promised bis future bride never to fight again. WOHT FIGHT SLAVHI. Sullivan Declares He Will Stick to the Slave Hereifier. New York, September 27. John L. Sullivan, when asked for bis opinion in regard to the re sult of tbe Slavin-McAuliffe fight, said: "I knew the fight would result as it did. I never saw McAuliffe put up his 'props,' and I never saw tbe Australian at all. McAuliffe is 6 feet Zy2 inches tall, and that Is too great a height for a first-clasi fighter, in my opinion. So far as 1 can judge, from tbe reports I have seen when the men got at it, at close quarters, Slavin's right did great executi n. Of course, McAuliffe closed in, but when they broke away he was always worsted." "Do you recognize Slavin as tbe cbampion of the world?" asked the reporter. By no means." replied John L. "He has only defeated a second class man. Of course 1 think he is a good man, but it does not take an extra good one to best McAuliffe." "Will you now make a match with Slavin?" "No, sir: once for all, that is ont of the ques tion. I have adopted tho theatrical profession and left pugilism behind mo forever. Nothing would induce me to enter tbe ring. I have been fighting for 13 years and have fought my last battle, and you may as well put down that I have never been defeated. When people talk about fighting for the championship of the world with gloves on I suddenly become very tired." FEATH UK-WEIGHTS 'AT IT. Billy Mnrphy Defeated by Yonog Grlflo After n Hot Fight. San Francisco, September 27. Advices from Sydney, Mariposa, give an account of the fight between Billy ilurphy, feather-weight champion, and young Griffn, which took place before the Sydney Amateur Gymnastic Club, for a purse of 200 sovereigns. Murphy opened tbe fight with a rush, but Griffo dazed him in the second round, during some in-fighting. Griffo was twiced knocked down in tbe first three rounds by Murphy's fierce swinging blows, but whenever they came to close quar ters Griffo administered severe punishment, and at tbe end of tbe eighth round both men were looking anxious. In tbe fifteenth round Griffo assumed tbe ag gressive, and by a well-directed blow on the jaw rendered Murphy groggy. At the end of tbe round Murphy retired to his chair in a limp condition. Before another round was called Murphy threw off tho gloves and, walking to the center of the stage, said be gave tbe fight to Griffo. When asked his reason he asserted that the gloves had been fixed. Examination, however, showed that the gloves were new and had not been tampered with. Murphy after ward challenged Griffo to fight with bare knuckles for 100. WHAT THEY THIHK IK 'FEISC0. Far Wct Opinions About the Bailie Be tween Slnvln and McAalifle. San FBANCisco,CAL.,September 27. When tbe Slavin-McAuliffe fight was received here last evening crowds were standing around tbe bulletin boards of the newspapers and congre gated at prominent sporting resorts. At Mose Gunst's place a jubilant crowd of sporting men discussed the fight until long after mid night, having taken the advice ot Bookmaker Josephs, of Melbourne, and bet heavily on Slavin. Parson Davies.the well-known Chicago sport ins man, it is stated, wagered rather heavily on McAulllfe. Some seemed to regard tho news as unreliable, bnt although McAuliffe would naturally appear to be tho favorite in betting circles here, owing to his being a San Fran cisco man, there ere largo numbers of sport ing men in the city who wagered a considerable amount on Slavin. .The betting in this city was prott evenly divided, and considerable money changed hands on the result.

A good start on a strcug ebb tide was effected, and Donoghue soon showed front. There he kept, rounding tho stake ahead, and coming in a good winner in just 15 minutes.

IT Is said that Darby O'Brien, or tbe Brooklyn League Club, has as good as signed to play In Cincinnati next year. A project has been started in Tennessee to erect a monument over tbe grave of the king of pacing sires, Tom Hal. IT is a snre thing now that the Brooklyns. Bos tons and Loulsvllles will carrv off tbe pennants of their respective organizations. New YORK Is experiencing a furore in chess, that game being verg popular. A number of chess clubs are being organized there. THE Brooklyn players all claim that tbey will be loyal to the management of their club next sea son, in spite of rumorB to the contrary. ALL the games in the two leagues were played yesterday except the Pittsburg N. 1.. game. Had tbe ?150 guarantee anything to do with it?

He said: "Tbe Players' League has secured the best material In the Brooklyn NatlonalLeague club, and that practically kills tnat club. With It out and Cincinnati also tbe National League cannot last long." Von deb AnE is getting even with some of his men who are alleged to have signed Brotherhood contracts. "Shorty" Fuller, the famons little shortstop, was fined 1100 yesterday and laid off for the remainder of the season. He Is charged with drinking a glass of beer, but the real reason Is tnat be signed with Comlskey for next season. Gerhardt has been laid on In order to save salary. BAYS Anson: "ir fl5,0C0has been offered lor the Cincinnati club, that's a pretty good price. I'd take It If I were in Stern's place, the way baseball Is going nowadays. Mind yov, tbe selling of the National League clnb by no means confers a monopoly or the games there. There is nothing to prevent the National League rrom pnttlng an other club there and that will take ont about all the few there are in the business."
