GEXEEAL SP0ETIXG XETC3 OF'THE DAI
New Yoke, Dec. 20.-Between 9 and 10
o'clock this morning lovers of the trotter
commenced to gather at the American In
stitute building in this city, to attend the
sale which should mark the dispersal of
the Hobart stud. The Kooh-i-noor of the
collection to be offered should be Stamboul,
the stallion king, with a record of 2.-07J4,
and breeders from many sections of the
country were among those who gathered
early to determine whose property the king
bhould be. The champion was shown a
score of times and the universal opinion
was that he is a horse of superb individu
ality, symmetrical proportions and a trotter
worthy to be at top of the tree. Among
those who looked him over were Charles
H. Kerner, who owned Fleetwing, the dam,
and who was naturally a proud man; J.
Malcolm Forbes, owner of Nancy Hanks,
John H. Shults, Le Grand Cannon, David
Bonner, Iiennselaer Weston, Albert H.
Moore, Eobert Steel, Frederick R. Bowne,
J. V Day and F. P. Olcott The great
horse was very well behaved and submitted
to the closest inspection without the least
3iplay ot- ill temper. Samuel Gamble,
vi ho brought the borses East and who was
the superintendent for the late Mr. Hobart,
showed relief as the hour drew near when
S.amboul shouid become somebody else's
property. He has been under a great
train lor nearly two weeks carrying nearly
hah a million dollars worth of horse flesh
across the continent.
1 tearing on the Price.
The mares were, before the sale, ex
pected to bring big pnces,as they are nearly
all fast; are producers of speedy ones and
are bred in the height of fashion. There
was a wide divergence of opinion as to the
rnce Stamboul would bring, the figures
mngins all the way from 550,000 to 5125
W0 It was conceded, of course, that tue
price largelt depended upon the competition,
it Messrs. Forbes, Shults, Olcott, Steel,
Moure and the representative 01 Senator
Man lord should all get warmed up there
was no telling wnere the bidding would
stop. It had been arranged that the Ho
bart sale should commence at "10 o'clock
rl.arp and continue until 5 o'clock, when
buvers would have a respite beiore the tom
mencemect of the Tattersalls' offerings
Irnm the Itancho del Paso stud.
Soon aiter 12 o'clock, while the noted
itallion was being moved about the nog,
the hiddin was begun. It started off with
F'K',000 ofiered and went up slowly with
jumps of 5500 and 51,000 until it reached
34,000. Then the bidding stopped lor a
while, and S'amboul was trotted around
the rinz several times. Then there was a
W of $40,000, and that was lollowed by the
c osing bid ot 541,000. The purchaser was
I) H. llarriman, a banker ot this city.
Five minutes alter Stamboul's sale, Mr.
Coursic, one ot the executors of the Hobart
estate, said be would give Mr. Ham man
So 000 to withdraw his bid. Mr. Harriman
had then left the building.

l he price brought by Stamboul was a great
disappointment to nearly eerybody pres
ent It was the general verdict that heweut
dirt cheap. Air. Coursin, of Callfonua, execu
tor o the e'tnteof Mr.Hobart,when asked bis
opiiuou ot the piiee, said: "I call it murder.
1 still Her Mr. Harriman $5,000 over bis bid,
but 1 guess lie would not part with Stam-L-
ul for the money." The bidding on the
other hordes was slow. A great manv peo
ple left the buildini; alter Stamboul had beoa
o d, but as there were a couple of thousands
preso it nt the beginning of the sale their
presence was not particularly mlssea.
The rumor that Stamboul's record will not
likely bo printed In the, trotting year book
bad a great effect on the sale or tbo horse.
To this cause i- attributed the comparatively
sn all price paid for him.

SOME GOOD AD VIC 2.
Harry TTeldon Give the Philadelphia
Amateur Itaseballists n Few Pointers.
Harry Vi'eldon, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
makes the following pointed remarks about
the proposed chango or baseball rules:
It would be well tor the League's Com
mittee on Rules to make haste slowly in the
matter of Introducing innovations in the
game. The proposed changes, or increasing
the length on the base paths and putting
the pitcher in the center of the diamond
may be a sood thing, butbeca use it has been
indorsed by a coterie or Philadelphia ama
teurs, dues not conclusively prove it is so.
Ever since the great game was introduced
the preent diamond has been in voue. If
there was any fault, it is reasonable to sap
pose that it would have been discovered
long before this time. If a 93-toot diamond
has been rnod ennnph for 50 vears. it cer
tainly stood tbo' test of time. Tne general!
reeling among league members is against
any radical change, and the committee, in
making its report, should heed their wishes
in thisiespect. They should also remember
that the present champion or the "ox
teuded diamond" was tho'boss s :outer"
and 'main backer" of the celebrated
"Millenium plan." The plan was beautiful
in theory, bntiu practice just about as big a
lauare as l'enniti.'ton'a air snip, "tne
game needs more action," is the verdict of
the league. This desirable element cau be
easily Injected Put the pitcher back five
feet, abolish the flat bat and the sacrifice
hit, and the problem is solved. These
changes will increase the hatting and base
running, and put the game back where it
was befoie that gigantic failure, a brother
hood (winch was also baoked by tbo
Millenium editor), wasver thought of."

Many Thousands of Dollars Cleared by the
San Francisco Sellers.
Saw Frascisco, Cal., Dec 20. The Exam
tner devotes a page to-day to the business
done by poolrooms in this city and Oak
land. In the spring of 1891 prohibitive legis
lation led to the closing of poolrooms in
San Francisco, when they removed to Oak
land, where, on September 80 last, they were
also closed by the authorities and bookmak
ers are now preparing to establish them
selves at Stockton, Cal. When they discon
tinued operations at Oakland they made a
pile or their'books and private acoaunts, to
which they set til e.
Some of the books were saved, however,
and the daily blotters are in possession of
the Examiner, from which that paper esti
mates that lor 22 months, from June, 1S83, to
Match 9. 1E9L inclusive. Kingslet Co alone
cleat ed up in San Francisco $25,000 on com
bination bets only, their records for that
period showing a clear list or winnings of
nom $1,000 to $5 000 per month. Ongoing to
Oakland a consolidation of all the bookmak
ers into two firms took place, and the Exam
iner flruies that for these two fiims the
minimum profit during the 16 months they
continued business in tuat cltv OL'ereiated
$1)6,030. The total expenses' were $150,000, so
that the poolrooms drained ac least $24(5,000
from the people or Oakland ana vicinity.

mack, the champion and ex champion skat
ers of the world, will meet in a three-mile
contest to-night. A great amount of Interest
is taken in the result locally, but there has
been only light betting. Hagen Is looked on
as a pretty sure winner, as the difference
or over ten years in their ages may tell
against the New Brunswick champion.
