In 1808 there was a great rivalry between the Reds and Buckeyes, and the latter engaged some professional placers, including Docknev, "Cherokee" Fisher. Sweazy. and Leonard.

When this fact was learned the officers of the Red Stockings at once set about checkmating the moves of their enemies. How they accomplished the feat is told as follows: "John Hatfield, of the New York Mutuals, was at this time disengaged. He was reported to be one of the best players in the United States, as well as very gentlemanly in his mannors and appearance. Steps were immediately taken to procure him a situation in Cincinnati, as the rule of the National Association forbade a player being hired. Hatfield was secure! after a great amount of correspondence, at a salary of $1,500 per annum, and furnished with a situation iu the Boatmen's Fire and Marine Insurance Company as recording clerk.

The officers still felt that the nine was not strong enough to cope with the aggregation of talent in the employ of the rivals, and a committee was therefore sent to visit New York and other places in the East for additional players.

fornia where Col. Lewis has done all bis trotting there arc but few men who really know what he ran do, and they are wise enough aot to giTe the matter any more publicity than is a osolutely necessary. Of the horse's performances last vear the readers of The Tbiblnb have already been informed by me. The only race in which he was required to exert himself in the slightest degree was the one wita Judge Fuller-ton, Occident, and Nutwood, and this he won in straight heats, one of them being in 2:18. The Fullerton party, althouca they knew Col.

Lewis to be a remarkable green horse, did not rate bim faster than 2:21 at the best, and, knowing that the Judge couid beat those figures handily enough, plunged heaviiy on tbeir horse. The few who were in the secrets of the Lewis stable took the odds made by this betting, and the further support thst the chestnut gelding received from the geueral public made the fall a sremendous one, and some of the wounded have not yet fully recovered. When 1 say that in the 2 is heat of that race Col. Lewis was pulled down to a three minute gait before going under the wire, and that in the first oart of it he beat Fullerton to the half-mile sole in t. you will bare some idea of the kind of a horse he is.

Nothing like was ever seen in this country before, and probably never will he again. "Be could have trotted that heat in 2 :15 or better, sure, saida driver to me the other day, speacmg of the race, and this opinion ia shared in by nearly every intelligent horseman who witnessed the performance. Now that Mr. McDonald has secured Col. Lewis, ke is to be placed in the bands of John Splan, and will accompany that driver's stable on its trip to the East this season.

John tells me that there will be no hippodroming between Rarus and the gray horse. Lewis going in the free-for-all, and liaro in the special speed purses. It is thought that Splan's success with Mr. McDonald's young Happy Medium stallion. Brigadier, was the means of inducing Mr.

McDonald to put so much money into Col. Lewis. Wbeu John took Brigadier last winter be could not beat his record (2 :30) very much, and the rate of his improvement maybe Inferred from the fact that he was recently given a trial in Mr. McDonald ia a recent bnt firm convert to the theory of thoroughbred blood trotters, and the tact that Col. Lewis is a leading exponent of this theory (being by Kifieman) may have had something to do with his purchase.

13., "When it came to securing a catcner, Mr. Joyce went to Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love was at this time wild over the national pastime, and hundrecs of clubs were playing wherever suitable space could be found. Joyce with bis pocket full of cigars would start out every morning and spend the day in watching the players wherever games were in progress. Thus day after day was passed among a mob of unknown players, many of whom have since achieved notoriety, bnt none of them exhibiting evidences of sufficient ability to warrant their being engaged.

After patient waiting, he one day found himself in a dispirited mood Manayank brick-yard watching a game, and his attention was arrested by a tall, ungainly, ver-oant-looking, poorly-clad young man, who, out of his positioa. was all awkwardness, and, in Mb position, the embodiment of grace nnd perfection. Five minutes' observation convinced him that the long-sought was before him. The young man was named Allison, a marble-cutter by trade. A conditional engagement was at once made with him at a salary of $20 per week, his railroad-fare to Cincinnati to be paid, as well as his expenses while there on trial.

The Colonel had grave donbts as to whether or not the awkward youth would meet with favor among the club members, who were imperative their demand that the players should be men of social standing, having ability to grace the parlor as well at the field.
