The singer seemed to think the option was with her, but the Colonel is confident she will see her error and sail peacefully irom shores where she has had so much of eon-met. Apropos, an evening paper makes this editorial comment: Minnie Hauk is on the warpath again. This time is ihe Colonel and younir Mapleson who have malisrued and misrepresented her.

Of course not, Minnie; it would he very wrone if he did exist for anybody but his wife, and young Mapleson is a proper man. As for the continued success of this second season, perhaps the best assurance is that an extra week is announced, It is also promised that "Dinorah" will be produced for a closing novelty to our opera-gjers. H. G. MISS KELLOGG'S MAPLESON ENGAGEMENT.

Aew ynrk Dramitic 1ewt. in the meantime, Mr. Maurice Strakosch takes Kelloeg to Europe, and it is a singular commentary that the first one he signs an engagement for her services with is Mapleson. The contract is not for London, but for the English provinces, and from certain dark bints already thrown out it is intended that Kellogg's career through England shall not be the triumph she anticipates. Miss Kellogg would not be the first artist who had been thrown by a manager for ulterior purposes.

her engagement hi England can be made a failure, even though it be onlv a newspaper failure, and the record were industriouslv circulated in the press ot this country, it would at once and forever end any possible luture rivalry on her part against Mapleson on his return here, and she would simply De brushed out of the way once and for all. Mr. Maurice Strakosch, has sufficient shrewdness and sufficient experience to thwart, iu a great measure, any such devices. All we ask for our American prima donna is fair play. She is an artist of exceptional merit, and we trust our English cousins will see that fair plav is meted out to a deserving little woman.

Miss Kellogg's intention is to remain abroad some length of time, and not to come back here next season if she can help it. But by ail means Mr. Strakosch must see that 6he has a Londou opening either BOw refer, DUt to scenes during the day, when the Academy is usually frequented only by people in search of seats, speculators w.ith seats to jell, and the gentlemen engaged in carry ins on the multifarious business of Her Majesty's Opera. First let it be made Known what caused the mild disturbances. It will then readily appear what, a victim to feminine entreaties and rage poor Mr.

Henry Map.eson became. A WICKKD REPORTER wrote a romantic operatic story for the Sunday Sun. That was the basis of the ills that followed. In this story, almost purely imaginative, as might be anticipated, it was set forth as jolemn fact that Col. Mapleson bad made a be-jrjuniugof what he intended should be, next season, a conservator? of music, connected with the opera in New York.

For more than a week, it was written, M. de Rialp, the singing-master, had oeen testing the voices of applicants in the rooms of the Academy. Many had been rejected, though some had come from distant Western cities, and not more than eight or ten had been aecepted all told. After this show of discriminating exelusiveness came the statement most attractive to the hundreds of would-be prime donne, and most fatal to Mr. Henry Mapleson, that the design of the school was to give free instruction to those whose voices were approved, and to receive remuneration by obtaining tiie services of the pupils.

For the rest of this seductive story, it was said that the chief sue proposed for the new opera-house and conservatory was Gilmore's Garden, whose securing would be a ood tuiiu: for the Vanderbilt heirs; that James It. Keene had subscribed $25,000, Dr. Hammond and that co-operation was fouud ou every hand. AN OLD PROJECT REDRESSED. This was a rrand revival of the Strakosch conservatory plans, so magnificently put on paper at various times- within the past few years.

It had the added glory of the new Lincoln, of the Westminster Kennel Club, a list of the Abt Soeietv of the prizes to be offered bv that organization at the bench show which will be held at Gilmore's Garden, New York.

The vexation of the Jockey Club is doubtless due to the truths told in a series of letters furnished by a well-known turf writer who is friendly io the Club.

His suggestions were made fa the kindliest spirit. The laultw which he and all friends ot the organization desired to see remedied the Club officials knew to their cost existed. They knew that the chaotic condition of affairs which prevailed since the trotting meeting last fall might have been prevented, and they also knew that the titles to their stakes furnished merriment for turfmen the country over, very little, ff a dollar, of the added money having been furnished bv their sponsors. Since the programme was made up the management nave virtually confessed that it was lacking in attractions by adding a post stake, four-mile hears, for all ages. Bad the programme been prouerly arranged, St.

Louis, 300 miles nearer the racing centres than her great rival, would have made a much better showing than entries, as agaitist 373 at Chicago. It was an unbiased statement of these facts which aroused the ire of the t'iuti, and resulted in the threat alluded to. The Club has stated that ihe -public is interested in certain papers which it can furnish, and the public should have its own.

While iu that vicinity, out of the commonest class of mares, he got such good ones as Black Frank, Lydia Thompson, Essex Maid, Little Dorritt, 2: and ten others who have beaten 2:30, but whose names cannot now be re-Called. Lydia Thompson, in addition to being fast, was an all-day trotter, and at the Fashion track, one day when she was in her prime, Dan Mace offered to match her two miles and repeat in harness against anv horse, mare, or gelding in world. The Spirit says Every enterprise that the new Chicago Jockey and Trotting Club undertakes seems to prosper, aud the fact holds good in regard to the entries for its special meeting, to be held Julv 4, 1879, which appear elsewhere in full.

Sprague. This will make a terrible race, as the list contains such noted names as So-So, Jennie Wiry Jim, and Kentucky Wilkes, while others, less known to fame, but equally well bred, are liable to show the more notorious colts the way to the wire.

1 Was the O'Learv- SPORTING. THE TURF. BONNER TB. VANDERBILT. On several occasiousTiiE Tribune has alluded to the rivalry existing between the two most prominent and enthusiastic road-riders in America, Mr.

Robert Bonner and Mr. William H. Vanderbilt, aud hinted that sooner or later there would be a test between the stables of the two. In days gone by, when the now dead Commodore was the head and front of the Vanderbilt bouse, he dabbled largely in fast horseflesh, but never succeeded in getting hold of anything that was the equal of Dexter, or other of Mr. Bcnner's purchases.

Mountain Boy was tiie best horse the old man ever owned, but, although fast, he was not a laster, two heats at top-speed being generally sufficient to make him quit badly to the third. Since the Commodore's death, his son William H. has been scattering money with a lavish hand in an effort to secure the best of American trotting-horses, and considering the short time that has elapsed since he began purchasing has succeeded in a remarkable degree. At the time of his father's death, Small Hopes was the only really first-class animal in the old man's stable. What the son wanted was to ait behind the fastest double team in America, and, with this end in view, his agents were instructed to purchase a mate for Small Hopes.

Chicago was first visited, and in the winter of at the Pacific Hotel, the purchase of Little Fred, record 2:20, made at Buffalo the previous summer, was consummated. The horse went East, was tried with Small Hopes, but did not do well, and was subsequently repurchased by his original owners, the Higbie of Canton, 111. Then Lady Mac, a Tennessee mare with a record of 2:23, was bought. Her gait and general conformation was almost precisely like that of Small Hopes, and before Mr. Vanderbilt had owned the team two weeks he astonished a crowd of spectators at Fleetwood Park one afternoon by driving them a mile in the unprecedented time, for a double team, of 2:23.

It was an achievement of which he might well feel proud, and hairing done something that set the turf world agog he very wisely concluded to rest on his laurels, and has since made no effort to beat the time made by his own team. The enthusiasm with which this performance of Small Hopes and Lady Mac was received must have been somewhat unpleasant to Mr. Bonner, who bad long held the palm of superiority among drivers of double teams, and although nothing was said, he began quietly maturing plans to astonish the country with an exhibition of trotting in harness, to wagon, and by a double team.

Like many another person whose stock in trade consists chiefly of pretension and cheek, the A'mw' base -ball man has begun setting himself up as a prophet, a business which almost invariably results disastrously to whoever engages in it. Already this wise man has begun his yawp concerning the championship of 1879, and by which club it will be won. Having been ignored by the League, the management of which wished nothing to do with crooked players or those who upheld them, the Sun's man is naturally very much opposed to that body, and especially to President Hulbert.

His latest effort at prophecy and niud-slmging is as follows: In 1878 the clubs entering for the League pennant were only six, and these were pretty evenly Miles.

It is hardly neces-arv to say that Mr. Henry Mapleson, whose busitiess-riiom is on the main floor, adjoining tiie hox-ottice, dad scarcely seated himself at his desk on that Monday morning, when he discovered that he was IN a STATE OF SHOE. Some time since, for bodily protection from free-seat hunters, whose tactics were to sit iown and talk and stav till thev got something or other just to ret them outside, it was found necessary to bar every door, and leave uo means of communication beyond a pigeju-hole in the door.

SOLUTION TO PROBLEM NO. id nothing significant in this tact, but the knowing ones smiled wiselv when the subject was matched; but the season was not half over before it was seen that only four clubs had anv chance for the pennant, and, at the close, the three clubs occupying the position of first, second, and third in the race were the Boston, Cincinnati, and Providence Clubs. This season eight clubs will enter, and of these eight it is pretty certain that by July-next only four will stand any cnance of winning, and it is pretty certain that among these the Cincinnati, Boston, and Providence Clubs will be the leaders, the chances being very equal for the success of either. One reason why the position is thus is that the old Boston team has been divided up among these three clubs. The Cincmnatis have three of the old nine, in the persons of James White, Ross Barnes, and McVey, and Providence has captured the Captain of the Boston team, George Wright, ana also James O'Rourke.

The fight "for the League pennant, therefore, though confined chiefly to these three clubs, bids fair to be more exciting than ever before. Not that the side issues in which the other live clnbs will be concerned will not be interesting, but ihat the brunt of the fight will be borne bv these three leaders. The contest for the lead in the minor positions, in which Chicago, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Troy will take part, will be a tough one. Cleveland will not count much in the race, beyond assisting the others to victory.

It is claimed that $150,000 is already subscribed toward the cost of the Mapleson Opera-House scheme in New York. Mr.

Mapleson has fallen out with the present opera-house owuers, and charges them with non-fulfillment of their contract, which was for seven years. New Yotk has just witnessed the debut of a new pianist, Anton StrelesKi by name, a pupil of Rubinstein. The most remarkable thing about him seems to be his memory, for he played nineteen pieces from Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Schumann, and his master without notes. A cable dispatch just received from Carl Rosa states that "the debut of Mile. Marie Van Zandt at the Teatro Regio, in Turin, was a great success.

For a paper, one of the editors of which publishes a stud-book, and another sets himself up as the only authority in the country on trotting horses, the Turf displays about as complete an ignorance respecting the sire of Mollie McCarthy as it well could. The name of the horse is Mundv, not "Monday," as the Turf has it. The animal was named after Col.

Mundy, of Louisville, Ky. Another fact in regard to Mollie McCarthy is also worthy of note. In some instances ber pedigree has been given as "by Mundy or Young Eclipse." Col. Winters, who bred the mare, is authority for the statement that Hennie Farrow, the dam of Mollie McCarthy, never saw Young Eclipse. On April 28 will occur the annual sale of the Belle Meade yearlings, the property of Gen.

This is a much stronger team than that of last vear; but it is not i team that can be made to work harmony, even if the Club had the right man in the manager's position. While The Tribune does not assume to be the champion of the Chicago Club, it feels at liberty to say that such talk as the above is slushy nonsense of the most pronounced character, and a discredit to the paper that publishes-it.

There is not the slightest reason why the White Stockings should be singled out tor scurrilous and uncalled-for abuse, and its manager declared unfit for the position he holds.
