A Cricket Team.The Death ofAbdallah.
[From the Turf, Field and Farm.]CAbdallah, sireof Rysdyk's Hambletonian,was bred by John Tredwell, Salisbury Place,Long Island, and he was foaled in 1825. Hewas taken toKentucky In 1839, was coupledwith the Charles Kent mare in 1848, anddied ofneglect at Gravesend beach, LongIsland, in November, 1854. Mr. J. P. Van-deveer, of Flatbush, knew him for years,and made a pencil sketch of him the spring

before he died. This sketch he still has, andhe brought it to our office one day last week.Itrepresents the horse wasted by time, hutwith head erect and Are inhis eyes. The back is shrunken,the tail light and the flank tucked up. Ab-dallah was always a little sway backed, andMr. Vandeveer's grandfather, who raisedTippoo Saib, used to say of him that while hewas good forward, he was like a broad-axebehind. He meant by this that he was lightquartered. The head was prominent, butnot coarse, and the nose was on the Romanorder. The neck was long, the shoulderdeep and the hind legs straight. In eolorthe horse was a bay, and he was marked witha star and two white ankles behind. He wasa long muscled horse, with plenty ofnerve, force and good kneeaction. He took hi3 exerciseunder saddle, and preferred a jog trot to awalk. Jeremiah Vanderbilt, who presentedhim to James Cozine, previously offeredhim to Mr. Vandeveer, but the offer was de-clined. The hoofs of the horse had beenpermitted to grow to such a length that loco-motion was difficult. Cozine was a fisher-man at Gravesend and he had no use for ahorse that would not work. Abdallah died ofstarvation under a cedar shed at his place,and he was buried in the sand on the beach.Robt. Waters, a veterinary surgeon, wasthere at the time, and he severed the tailfrom the body and presented itto Sim Hoag-land, who still has it.
MILWAUKEE LETTER.
[Turf, Field and Farm.]Itwas reported in turfcircles that Mr. Geo.
L. Lorillard was about to retire from the turfin consequence of illhealth. He has longbeen a great sufferer from rheumatism, whichat times has been ofsuch a violent form asto utterly incapacitate him from witnessingthe training or running of his horses. Therehas never been a more popular owrer on theturf, and the blue and orange ofthe Westbrookstable, when it appeared in frontofthe grand6tand, was always greeted with applause, be-cause the feeling was that it meant arace for money. The home place, West-brook, is located at Islip, Long Island, andcontains about 1,000 acres of ground, withcostly improvements and handsome resi-dence, which, with the stable of horses, ex-cepting only Sensation and Spinaway, isheld at $260,000. The horses in trainingare about twenty-five, including the notedchestnut gelding Monitor, Aella, sister toFerida, Volusia, Trafalgar, half brother toSpendthrift, the three year olds Reveller,Thackeray, Mentor,Emulation, King Arthur,Valour, Louisette the famous filly Economy,Glideaway, and the following two-year-olds:Roysterer, brother to Reveller, St. Augustine,Triton, Hawthorn, Hopeful, Surprise, Susie,Etha and Dahlia, the Sensation-Idalia filly.In advices from Florida as late as February25 Mr. Lorillard states that he is enjoying ex-cellent health this winter. He has largelyincreased the engagements of his horses inthe stakes which closed at Jerome Park,Sheepshead Bay and Monmouth Park, whichdoes not look like going out of business.And under date of March 11 hetelegraphed from St. Augustine to theHerald: "I have no intention ofwithdrawing from the turf. Have offered'Westbrook for sale without race horses." Mr.Lorillard is president of the Monmouth Parkassociation. He has owned and raced someof the best horses on the American turf, suchas Duke of Magenta, Tom Ochiltree, Grenada,Sensation, Ferida, Danger, Harold, Monitor,Lou Lanier, Louisette, Reveller, and manyof the most notable turf events have beenwon by the orange and blue of the West-brook stable. No man in America wouldbe more missed than Mr. George L. Loril-lard.

Flurry Over the Early Ar-rival of the Chicago
Papers.
Interesting Newspaper Gossip—A Lucky Strike in a
Lottery.
Failure of Edward Silverman—Gen-eral Manager Merrill—Short
Notes.
Special Correspondence of the Globe:Milwaukee, March 22.—The fast mail
train has raised a whirl of excitement innewspaper circles here. The propinquity ofChicago, and the possibility of increased ex-pedition in the mail service between the two"Cities has from time immemorial hung overand against newspaper interests in this city,like the sword of Damocles. The figurativeblade has at last fallen and cut a great gashin the morning journalistic field. Leavingout of the calculations the reasons againstthe delay of the fast mail at Chicago, the op-position of the Sentinel to the service has suf-ficient basis in the invasion of its not overremunerative city field. The huge five centdailies, and the lively two cent papers of thebig city at the head of the lake, are now de-livered by carrier early in the morning, andare hawked about the streets by the peddlerswho sell the Sentinel. This is enough to makeany overworked newspaper howl; and theSentinel is overworked. It has had an up-hill task from the start. By "it" is meantthe corporation that now holds the reinswhich itfirst grasped and buckled to a newenterprise called the Republican-News, whichwas
BORN OF SPITE.
Caused by the SentineVs erratic politicalcourse some years ago. A clique of wealthycitizens of Republican proclivities determin-ed to have "an organ" that would not offendthem as the Sentinel had repeatedly done, andafter a concentration of grievances andcapital the franchise of the Daily News, aparalytic Democratic morning paper, theonly organ the Bourbons had iu Milwaukee,was purchased by a stock coir*>any with suchnames as Horace Rublee, U. H. Camp, Chas.L. Colby, E. H. Broadhead, Chas. F. Illsley,E II. Abbott and Chas. Ray on its books. Afierce war between the two papers was in-augurated, and in a little over a year, throughthe resultant 6tress of circumstance, anamalgamation was effected by the swallow-ing of the Sentinel by the Republican-Newt,which had the widest financial maw, and themerging of the two papers under the cameRepublican-Sentinel. The fight had been abitter one. and although N. 3. Murphey andSamuel McCord, who owned the controllinginterest in the Seii'.inel, were forced out, they
GOT THEIR PRICE,which was something like $60,000. But theRepublican-News cannot be 6aid to have beenflushed with victory. Ithad purchased theold News franchise and worn out type fromJames White at a round figure, and had sunkover $50,000 in forcing Murphy and McCordto terms, and in waging the war it had cutoff a part of its own nose by dividing themorning Republican reading constituencyagainst itself. Amalgamation of stock andamalgamation of subscription lists werefound to be wholly different tasks, and thefumes of battle had not enticed into the fieldnew readers in numbers sufficient to doublethe circulation or even give the Republican-Sentinel a circulation equal to the combinedlists of the two papers. Since the consolida-tion the Sentinel—which soon after the eveutdropped the word Republican from its head-ing—has had a stormy existence. Ithas hadthe field all alone, but has failed to makemoney enough to pay interest on the invest-ment the paper now represents. A gentlemanof newspaper experience told your cor-respondent the other day that it would
TAKE $200,000 TO WIPE t'P THE DEBT
The State Fair association managers did avery creditable thing when they elected M.T. Gratten as starting judge for the races atthe state fair. He is competent, dislikestrickery on the track, and will 6top it if hecan.
The capital stock of the association at Day-ton, Ohio, is to be increased to $40,000, andit is proposed to build there an excellentmile track. The city is surrounded by pros-perous communities, and a first class meet-ing ought to pay. Rich purses will be hungup for the trotters June 25. of the Sentinel and give itfinancial freedom.
In all corporations struggling against fate,whose controlling stockholders are not prac-tical men, change is the order in the work-ing force of the business, and the Sentinelhas not been an exception to this rule. Itslatest managing editor, J. L. Stickney, isabout toretire to make room for anothermore suitable to Mr. Gates, the businessmanager who succeeded Mr. Boyd at theopening of the year. The fault lies in ex-pecting too much from the field the paper oc-cupies, and in giving too muoh for value re-ceived. There is no denying the fact thatthe paper is a good one —it has been too good.Too much money has been spent to make itkeep pace with the big dailies up the lake,papers with constituencies which in compari-son to that of the Sentinel are as a swarm of"buzzadrs" against a
LONE FLY OX A DRIED PRUNE.And now the Chicago papers are early in
the field each day, and contesting it withmore vigor than usual. They are tasting ofsweets that they will not readily relinquish,and in the event of the discontinuance ofthe fast mail train will probably combine andrun an early train of their own. Their ad-vent has completely shut out all chance for atwo-cent morning paper, which ha* been apolitical enterprise common to the mouth ofRumor for some time past. Besides the Sen-tinel, Milwaukee has two English daily papers,the Evening Journal, a small two-cent 6hcet,and the Evening Wisconsin, a three-cent sixeolumn quarto paper, whose history datesback to the '40s. These papers seem to haveseparate constituencies, and do not clash toany grsat extent. Itwas rumored to-day, inconnection with the Journal, that Mr.Stick-ney, the retiring managing editor of theSentinel, had made a bid for it, and that LuteNieman, the editor of the Journal, was figur-ing to succeed Stickney on the Sentinel. ButRumor says a good many rapid things. II.P. Myrick, who has been telegraph editor ofthe Sentinel forsome time, will succeed Mr.Stickney.

The Galveston, (Tex.) News of Feb. 25says: Miss Nellie Burke, the champion longdistance lady rider, yesterday afternoon ful-filled her promise to ride 100 miles in fivehours at Beach park. There was a largeaudience in attendance, the number beingestimated at 3,000. The lady accomplishedthe arduous feat, and actually rode 102 milesand 1,073 feet in four hours, forty-twominutes and thirty-five seconds, making 361turns ofthe track and fifty-four changes ofhorses, using thirteen animals in the run.Miss Burke at the close of the race againsttime did not appear to be in any sense ex-hausted, and last night was refreshed to theextent that she was enabled to attend theperformance at the Opera house. It is saidthat the record made by Miss Burke yester-day surpasses anything of the kind that hasever been attempted. It was a subject ofgeneral comment after the raee and duringthe evening.

A Receiver Appointed-
LUCK IN A LOTTERY.A pool made up of employes of the West
Milwaukee shops of the Chicago, Milwaukee& St. Paul railway, has been lucky enough todraw $15,000 in a lottery, on a ticket num-bered 14,407. The money has been receivedat Mitchell's bank, and John Johnston willsee to its division. A young man who in-formed the writer of the windfall, hud fortycents invested in the pool. His share of theprize will be the neat sum of §240.
This streak of luck has caused much excite-ment among the railroad workmen, and an-other pool has been formed. Counting whathas been sunk previous to the lucky strikementioned, and estimating the probable los-ings on future pools, it is safe to calculatethat the lottery company will not be the loser.This pooling seems to be common abouttown at present. The prevalence of thepractice among the employes of John Pritz-laff, the hardware dealer, was revealed by ahoax perpetrated on the holders of tickets ina Canadian lottery. Someone cognizant ofthe situation in the store scut a fictitious dis-patch announcing the drawing of $27,000 byone ofthe tickets held by the Pritzlalf pool.Naturally there was great rejoicing amongthe members of the pool, who gave the itemto the city press. Its publication drew out aconfession by the perpetrator of the joke,and now the Pritzlaff clerks feel flatter thanthe iron market.

MANAGER MERRILL.
During the past week dilegent reportersstarted a story that General Manager Merrill,of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-road contemplated resignation. Mr. Mitchellin an interview on the subject, gave an em-phatic denial of the report, and officials atthe general offices also scoffed at the story.

Notwithstanding this, a scribe who is ac-knowledgee to be the best "railroad reporter"in the city, says there is more to the reportthan will be admitted at railroad headquar-ters. Mr. Merrill's friends, however, seeminclined to believe that he will stay "inharness" while life lasts, and that when hereturns it will be with vigor so much renewedthat idle stories will no longer find ear.

Lfested by Dakota papers over an absurdarticle, purporting to be written at ValleyCity and first published in the New YorkSun, picturing In luridjcolors the perils of theDakota blizzard, and alleging thai the win-ters are so seven' that it is a miracle that anysurvive. This seems to be going the roundsof the eastern paper, apperantly tor the pur-pose of deceiving hoi;.
pie and staying the migratory movement tothis favored land. The fact Is that when thecountry is old enough to have trees, settledroads and dwellings reaaonably near eachother, there will be no danger of any beinglost in a storm. The winters are less Beverethan in nortlien Illinois, and there is less suf-fering with the cold than in half the north-ern states.
