THE PUK CHASERS. HOME ACCOUNT OP THE HORSE AMD HIS BEST RACES. The most notable transaction in fast horse-flesn that has taken place during the last two ytMXt was con Mimntated in Chicago yesterday after noon, it being the purchase by H. C. Jeweti, & Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., of the trotting stallion Jerome Eddy, record 2:16. The price paid was $25,000 cash in hand, and with the exception of Smuggler and Piedmont, i is the largest sum ever paid for a t ulting stallion. Jerome Eddy is a bright bay horse, fifteen i nd one-half hands high, and was foaled in 1875. He was bred by Dewey & Stewart, Owosso, Mich., and owned by, them up to the time of his lale In the way of breeding, Jerome Eddy is strictly a Hamble tonian. his sire, Lottif Napoleon, be ing .1 grandson of Rvsdvk's Hamble tO'iian. while his dam, Fanny Mapcs, is a daughter of Alexander's Alulal lab, also a son ol Hambletoni 111. JEROME EDDY'S KIR8T APPEARANCE ON THE TURF was in 18S1, when be made a record at Jackson, Mich., of 2:27. The horse that beat him in this race was the stallion t g John, driven by Peter V. Johnson, of this city, and so much was Johnson impressed with the promise of Jerome Eddy that the following winter, when Dr. W. W. Hedges, of poker fame in Newburg, N Y., came west with a view of in vesting some of Mr. Weed's money in trotters, he strongly recommended him to buy Jerome Eddy, the horse at that time being for sale at $10, 000. Instead of doing this the Doc tor paid J! 1 0,000 for J. IJ. Thomas, and soon found he had a compara tively worthless horse on his hands, while Jerome Eddy came out in 1882 and made a most brilliant record Beginning in the Michigan Circuit he won the races in which he was engaged at East Saginaw, Grand Rapids and Ionia. Coming (torn the last named place to Chicago, lie at tracted attention of horsemen by the easy manner in which he won the 2:27 race here, beating a large field of horses and making a record of 2:21. At the same meeting a mare called Minnie R., trotted in 2:19, and was immediately purchased by Comtno dore Kittson, the Minnesota million aire, for $10,000. At Cleveland the following week Minnie R. anil Jerome Eddy came together in a race, and by reason of the mare's performance at Chicago she was made a great favorite in the betting. ThS stallion won the first and second heats in 1:19, 2:18 and the third heat trotted trie first three-quarters of a mile at a 2: 144 gait. He was then slowed al most to a walk, and went under the wire in 2:19. Had he been driven home at his best speed, there is little doabt that the best stallion record 2:l5fi would have been lowered. At Buffalo, the following week Jerome won the first heat of his race in a : 1 6 1 j. TROTTINC THE LAST QUARTER AT A a: 1 2 GAIT. These two races fairly established his claim as being the fastest stallion on the turf and several efforts to pur chase him were made, none of which, however, were brought to a success ful issue. The horse was wintered at the home of his owners in Owosso, Mich igan,. and brought to this city about three weeks ago by Peter V. John son, who was to have driven him during the coming season. It was not at that time thought he would be sold before next August, if at all, but Mr. Henry C. Jewett, who, with his father, owns a large stook farm at Aurora, N. Y., came to Chicago a MARCH 30 1883. few days ago for the purpose of y ing the stallion and the sale was com pleted yesterday. The transfer took place at a livery barn on West Madi son street, and after the horse, which is rather an ordinary looking animal, had been examined for a few mo ments by Mr. Jewett, that gentleman handed Mr. Dewey A CERTIFIED CHECK FOR $25,00O. and half an hour later the horse was on his way to the Lake Shore depot, to be shipped on the 5 oclork tram by express to Buffalo Mr. Dewey who is a plain, farmer like gentleman, was seen by a repot ter last evening. He confirmed the rumor that the horse had been s i d. ''I am sorry Mr. Jewett is not uing to trot him," said Mr. Dewey, 4,for I regard it as a certainty that, bar ring accidents he would at the end of this season have the best stallion record, instead of the second best, as is now the case " When a horse is sold for so large a sum of money as $25,000, his im.iu diate relatives become valuable and it is interesting to know that Mr Dewey and his partner have raised six full brothers and sisters to Jerome Bddy. They are: Lena Mapes, foald 1876; Larry W., foaled 1878, and now owned in Texas ; Frank Noble, foaled 1S79, owned in Augus ta, Mich. ; Oeorge Milo, foaled 1880, owned by Dewey & Stewart ; Edmoie foaled 1881, owned at Pontiac, Mich igan , and Dolly Mapes, foaled 1882, owned by Dewey & Stewart Wiih the exception of Le a Mapes and Dol ly Mapes, these are all stallions. The Chicago Tribune. Since writing the notice of Rosa Wilkes' sale, we have to chronicle a still more important one, as we are in receipt of a telegram from Messrs He ry C. Jewett & Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., advising us of the purchase of Jerome Eddy, from Messrs. Dewey & Stewart, of Owosso, Mieh., and that he had been assigned the post of honor among their grand list of stallions stationed at the Jewett Stock Farm, where he will Hand for $2oo by the season, with privilege of re turn next season if the mare does not prove in foal. We most heartily concur in the judicious choice of Messrs. Jewett & Co., for we think there is a mine of wealth in this young horse. The price is not stated in the despatch, but we pre sume it was $25,000, as that wa the bottom figure last fall. In the whole history of the. trotting turf no stallion has so speedily won great renown, lie was brought out in 1881 as a six-year old, and, over a half-mile track at Jackson, Mich., made a record of 2:27. in his first contested r.ve, subsequently show ing a trial in 2:23 at East Saginaw. Last season he flashed like a meteor in the Grand Circuit, and made his grandsire. Volunteer, more famous than ever. He won his race so easi ly at Cleveland, O., beating Minnie R., (2:19), and a good field, in 2:19. 2:i3, 2:19, that his name was on every tongue. Our special Commis sioner then wrote : 'Jerome Eddy was bred by Dewey & Stewart. He is a bbod bay stal lion, nearly 15 hands, of fine form and excellent proportions A smooth, rapid-gaited horse, of per fect carriage and trotting poise. He wears no weights, but is fully protect ted bv boots, and acts as if he meant business from end to end of a race. He trotted to the three quarter pole of the third heat in 1:41, and many tegretted that an impulsive, would-be friend of the owners ran up the stretch and motioned his driver back, as they thought Smuggler's time (2:151), would have been equaled or surpassed had he been allowed to finish the mile at his best rate." The following week at Buffalo when pitted against the experienced warrior, Black Cloud, his siAying powers were put to a crucial test. He won the first heat in 2:16' J, and the third and fourth heats were de clared dead, the finishing touches so WHOLE NO. 201 closf that honors were easy, the black horse finally won the race after a postponement, but many contend that Eddy could not have lost it un der different management In fact during his turf career he wjs essen tially the artificer of his own 'ortunes, for he never had a Mace to drive nor a Turner to manage him. Jerome Eddy is a living proof, of the striking success 'hi h iioh uni form I y followed the union of a double por '-u of Hambletonian blood coupled with that of Henry Clay, supported by remote thoroughbred s aii s. A is well known, he is by Louis Napoleon (who L by Volun teer, out of Hattie Wood, dam of Gar.elle, 2:21, by Harry Clay), dam Fanny Mapes, by Alexander's Ab dallah, sire of Goldsmith Maid. Ii undeniable breeding and all o er desirable qualities go for anything, il is : ale to conjecture that a glorious siud career is before him: but, as every tree must be judged by its fruits, we are pleased to learn that his foals are very good looking, and that he stamps them all his own.

I see in The Times of last week, that in the Council Proceedings, the subject of drainage and sidewalks was broached. We have but very little good sidewalk. A hole here, a board loose or gone there and then none at all ; besides all are too nar row. Take 16 ft. plank, 8 or 10 inches wide, cut into three equal lengths, placed on three 4x4 oak bearings (16 ft. long breaking joints) and each piece of plank spiked with six spikes, (20) then you have a good, durable sidewalk. Plank un planded, to avoid being too slippery. May we see, this season, some thorough move through the city in this direction. Citizen.
