There is a case in court which is regarded by turfmen and others with much interest. The case alluded to to is "Muybridge vs. Stanford." It is to be tried in Boston. Muybridge is the photographer who took the plates for Ex-Governor Leland Stanford of California, to be used in his work picturing the horse in motion, as shown by instantaneous photography. Persons well informed in the matter say the work has cost Stanford many thousands of dollars more than its sale has produced, one authority placing the figures at $?,000, and that he paid liberally for the services rendered in the production of the book. They further say that since the publication of the work, Muybridge considers himself the author, and claims damages for being unrepresented on the title page, and ignored in parts of the book, and that he is not satisfied with the credit given him in the preface, [--] Mr. Stanford's signature.
