WINNING A. WIFE AT CHECKERS. 

I in ixir Tou oumii, 



BT T. ElMILTON TANi.irDA. 

' 'I BHAU. nivti forget mj feellngB, vhen yoaog, when I 
'flnt.Ieoraed the game of oheoken. It was a veiy fashion' 
atilo game in my natlre oommnnlty, and even the minis- 
ter of the pariah was said to eqjoy It in hia domestlo olrole. 
.^0 he Bure tiiere were etraight-UMed Hanhahe, and Iaak< 
lialred Johnathans, who raised their hands In ploos horror, 
and called It a speoieB of gambling,' bnt the minority of 
ilw good people Uioaght It hn. ad' inn'ooent amnsement, 
Old wlled many an Idle hoar away over the checke>hoard, 
I It Is somewhat riognlar onder these clrcnmstances, 
'that I did not leam tho game of cheoben, nntil I was 
'eighteen years of age. Tme, I never had-mneh predilec- 
ilon for of sports any sort, and even In boyhood, spent 
more hoars over my books, than I did upon the play- 
groond. Bat where the game was so common and anl' 
Tersal, It seems odd, that I never played. I may say, 
too, that by freqneat observance of others' playing, I bad 
learned the general prlnolples of the game, and when I 
'did set down, one evening, to play with a flrlend, he 
'tnoaght me a very apt papU at my fli-st lesson. 

Vat . there seems to be something pecallar about tho 
game of checkers. It Is purely mathematical and makes 
a stronger impression npon the mind than billiards, cards, 
or any other game with which oar experience hWhroaghtl 
M inlcontaof f eicepting oheM._Q£.comM..ghlxih-i».upoft 
the same prlaolple). After olaylng oa hoar, aad having 
obtained some kaowledge of the game, I went oat to see 
a friend upon business. I found myself incapable of 
transacting it. The ohecke>board was stijl before me, 
with its array .of black and white " men," with here and 
there a " king," chasing the rest with all a king's prerog- 
ative. I went back and played another hour, and then 
went .to my study to read. I took . np. Byron, and tamed 
over the leaves, from poem to- poem, bat Manfred had 
.lost. Its fascination, and Don Jaan was a sickly sentlmon' 
tiJian. Lara was a blaok man on the checker-board of 
fate, which I endeavored to capture, by moving the white 
CItio^ Into the middle column of destiny. 'Awhlteyna 
and a black Oiour oooupied separate corners, and the dark 
UDg, Sardampaiii, was ohaalng a fair i^Ara for her life, 
. ' I :threw down the book in despair. - My brain was a 
Chioker-board, and all things— thooghts and Ideas— 
toned to " men" and kings. In sleep, the diagonal lines 
appeared, covered wIUi their white and black armies, and 
I moved my men to battle, always with certain victory, 
'I'became, la fancy, a master player, and althongh I 'was 
frequently beaten the nezt^ay, yet I had worked but in 
my mind, by its constant presence, the. whole philosophy 
aad policy of the game. 

But I am wasting too much time upon this Idlosyncrooy, 
.and shouldhave told you long ago what first indaced 
l^e'to leard the game. It certainly, w^ not o^ account 
of its common practice In the cpmijianlty, tox that had; 
existed for several yean. Mor was It tlie interest I really i 
took in playing, for In truth, it was to me but dull and 
nnproStable amusement, and the fact of my brain being a 
eoatlnaal'cheoke^l)OBrd; was-actually palnfal to me. 
' 'Bat' the jnost noted player In' the village, was Olara: 
May'-^ lovely girl of - slztieri, whoie ' sparkling wii, 
enperlbr intelllgenbe, and enchanting beaafy,'- made' her 
thi oljeot Of nnlvusal admiration. Clara had beaten '. 
«iel7body In the village, from the minister down to the 
whobl-glrliri, and mlde het boast, that the was the cham- 
pion player, capable of beating any and every one, who 
dared to pla/wltii her.' Ind[eed she carried her enthtialasffl 
Ibr tlte game so &r, ''as to declare; that her heart andhaiii 
ooitid' only be' won,' I7' beating her at a iet' game'of 
oheoiiers; and suadiy love^ioni individuals^ with whom 
had play,^ the sat, thfongh. 9aprIo^,,pr a.momentary

Let me confess at once, that it was Oiara Hay, ancl my 
love for that sweet girl, which prompted me to learn'the 
.game' of cheokere, and follow it wlt|i that .hervoiu and 
oomtant application) which made' It, for a time, the alK 
flozldipg Impresalon of my 'sonl.' ,

Intervening golden yean that ripened oar heaiti Into a

And thos, when I sat down to play a game of oheoken, 
always saw Olara Hay at the end of the board^atd 
seemed to clasp her as ny reward, as I swept the laqt 
man frvm tlie table. Clara 'Was .not a little astpalihed. 
when, on a calm summerfe evening, I asked her to pUy a 
game. 

" Vhy, meroy, Carl 1" she aaidi "when did yon leam 
to play oheoken t" 
" 0, sometime since," I replied carelessly,' 
"Aod why did yon' not let me know it before T"- she 
asked reproachfully. 

" I am afraid to play wllli you," I said, half mlscblev- 
ously; " I learned to play cbeckcn to win'yonr heart 'and 
hand, and I am not yet sofflciently expert at the game, to 
run so great a hazard." 

Her cheek flushed, add her eye dilated, as d^o looked 
up Inquiringly Into my face, as though to say: 
"Ineamest?" ' '• ' 

Then finding that my face remained serloun, and per- 
haps reading my love in my eyes, she broke out in a 
clear, ringing laugh, and eald: 

' IVell, Oar V I mast say, yon play the lover admira- 
bly, bdt yoa can't .deoClvcf me 1" Then chatighig her tone 
to' one of 'deep seriousness, and 'fixing her dark eyes' ten- 
derly In mine, sh'e took niy hand and added-:-" yoa 
wont deceive We, Carl .t" ' 

I BDblied in .faiy heak, iholigh the .tears camt'ln my

TBI eSXAT BVaO,B>p-KZIB BAOI. 

A correapondeat of the Boohoatar Unloii, In apesking of 

the hondred mile raee, layt : 

I nelloed In your paper of April let, IU7, an arUeto fVom Ihe Albany 
Batceman, beaded " The one bandred mile raee-the grealatt feat on 
reeord- nnparalleled tpeed," fee., to. ; tbt writer cf which I thlok 
nuat be toborlig under t grott mittake. On tbe Bib dty of Bay, 1818, 
"Fanny Jenkt" waa matched agalnit time for Ive bnodred dulton, 
lo trot one bondred mUei te ten boura, over Ihe Biill^ Bead Coorae, 
near Albany, N. Y. Sbe perlbmed Uie enUre dIaUice la aloe bonn, 
Ibrty-Sve minulee and twenty-aeven aaconda. Eioluilve of Ihe Ume 
cf (lopplog for refreabmenla— elgbteen mioutta and tweoiy-aeven ae- 
condi the perflmcd tbe dlttinee In nine bonn, tweoiy-fbar mhiutet 
tnd thirty toconda. Immediately en Ibe eomplelloo of Ihe matob, and 
wlUioot alopping, tht wu trotted once round Ihe oooita, and tocom- 
plUbod her lOlat mUe In foor mlaDtea and twtnly-lhree aeoonda, 
maklog one hundred tod nu mllta In nine boura, fbrty-eeven mlnntM 
and twenty aaconda. 

To wbloh the Staiennan reeponda aa followa : 
The writer dtotlneUr raniemban tht nee mtdt br "Fknoy Jenkt," 
todconaldtra there It no oemptritoa between the Aitt taeompIUbed 
by her tad Out by tbe ]kyk» tnd Dalian honea. It wUI be remem- 
bered that "Many Jenka" iroUtd on a coarte whkb wot In excellent 
ooodltlon, wbUe Uie race Ital week waa over roada alooat Impttiable 
on account of the mud tnd tnow drUla : tnd, yet, nolwIUiatandtog 
Ihto, tber nude elghlr-lbur mllet tnd t half hi eight boura tnd Ian 
minulta frtnd would have trouod Ihe one bnodred milea In leee Ume 
than "Iknny Jehka," had Uie Dalton borte kept bto feet Thedlflbr- 
•use In Ibe aoodlUon of Uie tracki waa equal to at laaat one hour. 

[We moat pnt a stop to all Author dlaotualon regarding 
faat time In trottbg one hundred miles by stating that 
New Tork Ib atlll at iho " bead of the heap." Some time 
la the latter part of the year ISfiZ, a match Waa made In 
thla Tleklty that no horae In tho Northern part of the 
United States conid be produced within one year, that 
coald trot one hundred miles In nine boura I The wager 
wae 03000 to 11000, the odda being on time. On the 12th 
of November, 1863,. Conqueror, a ftiU-blooded gelding, 
waa brought to the startbg poet, on a Long bland track, 
and started on the long and trying Journey, under the 
guidance of Menara, Splcer and HoHann, alternately. 
Between S and 6 o'clock, P. H,, the feat was conoluded, 
the noble animal having trotted oiu hundred mla In the 
eztraordlnaiy time ot tight hourt,J\fly-fiM mnuiu, md J\fiy- 
tkm tttml*! Including etoppagee for water, spouglog, 
Ao. Thla Is the most aetoniahlng performance of the kind 
on reoord. Our neighbors of the rural districts will now 
please atop their bragging. When they have conquered 
the " Conqueror," It will be time enough for them to boast 
of their fast time, but not till then.— Eo. Clip.] 



Olosino op Biilubd Saloons.— We see It stated that all 
the Billiard saloons hi Louisville, Ky., have heen closed 
ia puTsnance of a State law. We have no anthentlo In- 
formation as to the truth of this statement ; bat, If correct, 
It only goes to show, tbe pnrltanltal notions entertained by 
some old fogiet lu tbe great and growing West, where snob 
{qjarjoas Inflaences, It was hoped, would not be suffered 
to find much favor. What is there In the beaatiful and 
recreative game of billiards to call forth such opposition t 
If It Is urged that the game leads to other matters not 
quite up to some people's Ideas of morality, let us ask 
those pretended advocates of moral reform where we may 
look for pure sanctity, undeflled morality, and all that 
sort of thing T Let us go to the supposed fountain head 
of morality, the church ; let tis tear the veU from the 
" pillars" of that ohorch, and what do we behold t Cor- 
TupUon in ita wont torn, . Uecent developments in the 
OBseofthe'Bev.Ur.Eallooh, of Boston— one oftheehlning 
lights of that city, and one whose opposltlou to all amuse- 
ments and manly pastimes has been of the strongest kind— 
convinoe us, In oonnectlon with other dlsoloenres ellolted 
In ahnllar trials, ihat tbe ohuroh haa Its full share of wick- 
edness, though It Is carried on beneath a moral garb. 
There b no such bypoorlsy abont our bllUaid saloons or 
other places of amusement — what Is there done, b done 
openly, before tbe world. 

If the Great West desires taput an extlngnisher upon 
Its rapid growth, let It Inderdiot all eports and pastimes 
for the people. What would New Tork be without lb 
theatres, lb billiard rooms, Ib bowling alleys, and other 
elmUar plaoesT What would that " Little Giant of the 
West," Chicago be, were It not that It b » fao slnille, 
almost, of our own great Empire CItyT Crush out the 
people's pastimes, and yon destroy the vlbll^ of a com- 
munity. It will not do. It b time that all such old fogy 
and puritanical notions of propriety and morality were 
consigned to oblivion ; and If Lonlsvilb hopes to contend 
sucoessfiilly with other sections of oor western country. 
In the great race now going on, she matt encourage 
rather than oppose popular amusements. If there is snob 
a law as that referred to above, we hope It will be speedily 
annulled. 

A Foor-Tkir Old. — ^We arc growing apace. We are 
beginning to look npon our " little craft" as a " mighty 
giant." With the present number we have attained the 
position of a fouryear-old, and we feel our strength 
Inoreaslng with our years. But then, .part of the credit 
for our healthy and prosperous condition b due to those 
many Mends who have so. nobly stood by us— who have 
assisted us by their patronage and advice— who have 
pointed out tho many ehoals and quicksands that seemed 
to obstruct our onward course— who have kindly reproved 
us for errors we may have committed, and applauded us 
when we were deserving of praise. We say, to our kind 
patrons, subscribers, readers, coneepondents, and all, we 
are greatly Indebted for our present proud positioa In the 
newspaper and sporting world. In the oosduot of on]/ 
journal. It Is a diffloult matter to please all readers ; but 
In the guidance of a ipmting newspaper It b almost 
ImjKissIble to cater eueoessfhlly ibr the varied tastes of 
the readera of sooh a Journal. We nifiy ofcnd one class, 
unwittingly. In ihe very effort to please another. Again, 
our etrlotores, npon .oerlain occaalons, may seem severe 
and undeserved, but were onr readers with us, "behind 
ihe soenes," they would at once acknowledge that Instead 
of being harsh or severe, we are far too lenient We are 
loth to condemn, but when the Interesb of the entire 
sporting commanlty demand It, we consider It our duty 
to expose ftand, and to hold the perpetratora of It up to 
publio Indignation. . If we err b Judgment, we are willing 
and aozlous to have our faulb pointed ont to tia In a 
courteous manner. With theso few remarks, we again 
offer onr sincere' thanks for the liberal patronage bestowed 
upon the present volume of the Ouffsb, and hope our 
next may meet with equal fkvoir. " All abowd

Jack gave a Sparring Exhibition In Townsend Hall, last 
night, and, notwithstanding the weather was very cold 
and blosteiy, the Hall was well filled. Quite a number 
put the mlttons on, and a good deal of sport was made 
for the audience. Old Izzy had a sot-to with a stranger, 
who, after a few rounds, made the old gent puff like a po^ 
poise. The wind up was to have been between Harry Laza- 
rus and Johnny Roberts, but Johnny wasexcused In conse- 
quence of bis face being rather disfigured, the doctor having 
lanced It only a few hours before. Bobertstoldtbeaudlence, 
however, that as It was announced on the bills that he 
would appear, he would do so if they wished. Of course 
he was excused by all. Tho wind np wos between Hanr 
and a stranger, after which the audience retired, well 
satisfied with the night's sport So, br Harry's nstng the 
pnbllo well, the people nse blm well. The bills for bis 
fast ezhlbltlon, some six weeks ago, bad the names of 
Uackey, Parker, and a host of others to set-to ; but ths 
people fennd out that Mookey, Parker, and tome of the 
others were n(>t In town j ths result was, the exhibition 
did not par expenses. The bills for last nJght were plain, 
and told the truth, and there was a good attendance. I 
hope It win be a lesson to all boxers. Tbev should bear 
in mind that if they try to deceive the people, the people 
will deceive them. Buflalo, April 7, 18(7. L, E.

The first races under the auspices of the Metaire Asso< .

sport was all that we had predicted, the attondanoe was' 
limited. The ladles's stand presented a plsailng array of ' 
beauty nod fashion, and thoy were evidently dsllghtod. ' 
The members of the dob were In full force, and their , 
numben were apparently greater than tiioae In tho pabllo 
stand, which showed comparatively >> a beggarly ooconat 
of emptv boxes." The course was In a fitir condition, and 
although not In that elastic state in which it Is generally . 
fonnd at this season of the year, on account of the pro 
tracted drr weather. It was aafb and In order for a rapU [ 
race. A little rahi would greatly improve it 

The first race— a dash of two miles, oronght out Releasa^ 
a haKalster of the renowned Lexington, Bill Fisher, Fir- '. 
Ing Datchman; thb first named, the favorite against ue.

At the tap, the Dutchman took the load, evidently In - 
hand. Release In waiting dote by him, and Billy Fisher 
a little way behind ; as thoy rounded tho turn and got , , 
fairly into the back stretch, the poc^ increasod, and at u« , 
half mile they were In a bunch, and a very pretty sight It' 
was indeed. In rounding the turn (br the home stntob,' '' 
Billy made play and took the lead, which he kcpt.thiondi. - : 
the renalnder of tho first mile. At this point little $Uu , , 
Bash on the Datchman verv shrewdly took a pull on bU 
horse, and let the two take a tilt at each outer, whlok' : 

Sentlj looreased the interest of the race. The pace op ' 
e back stretch of the second mile was apparently aevero, l 
and they opened a gap npon the Datchman. In rotindlnH - 
the tarn for the run home, however, the Datchman was U '

in a line, both- hooks are frequently miaaing in conae-

again, the nets for bait must be hauled in and picked 
every hour during the night, or else the " dogs " will be 
sure to spoil them with their merciless teeth. By the 
middle of August the dog flah may be conaidorcd masters

THE "POOB FLATBB. 

The assertion that " the death of a great actor eclipses 
the gayety of a nation " was said of and by two of the 
moat endeared names In dramatic history. Undoubtedly, 
all who can boast of any fair share of Hamlet in their 
compoaltlon would be euro to join tu the gratitude which 
comes with the remembraoco when we say "Alas, poor 
"Yorlck I ". of any performer whose aOiilitles may have de- 
lighted us in foruier days. 

By the recent arrivals from Europe we grieve to learn 
that the well-known Ton Bany is how In poor health and 
reduced clrcnmstauccB. " Poor Tom's a-cold,'' and on a 
bed of sickness. A benefit had been arranged by bis friends, 
and the 26th of March appointed for It at Aetley's Amphi- 
theatre in London, where the accomplished lessee, Mr. 
William Cooke, has done the handsome thing by ref^g 
to accept any remuneration whatever. 

The name of Barry is so associated in our minds with 
talent of every kind that perhaps the general reader may 
require to be Informed as to the particular Tom cat we are 
apt to speak of We therefore begin negatively to " ex- 
plicate," as foor Ton used to say. It la not the Tom Bar- 
ry who eo ably managea the Boston Theatre. Heaven 
forbid I Nor the Barry SnlUvan who stands confessedly 
one of the best elocaUoulata on the British atage. But 
poor Tom Barry, the mortal performer of immortal jokea 
and humanizing Inflnencea, whose sayings and dohigs' as 
" Brother Bongs the Olown " have " many a time and oft " 
not only kept "the teble hi a roar" but "brought down 
the house " in uncontrolable fite of laughter. Harry Bo- 
leno, and some other pontomhnlc friends in London, have 
johed In thia movement bom the first, and we expect to 
see Brother Bunge once more get " started" wlthj" a loud 
report" in his ihvor, enjoying the glories of his ever- 
green ahomrocka amidst tiie snnahlue .of friendship and 
health. 

To auch a man of noble Impulse and genuine humor, 
111 health la ruination. We know how well' pride and 
gentleness are balanced In hla noble heart, and can assure 
ttio public that there la not apartlole of beggarly depend- 
ence In Tom Barry's organisation. - Bis voice, bis 
strength, his deportment, his good spirits, are the tools he 
works with. Unless he bos them, he must, (like miany 
another brave man thus situated,)' temporarily appear in 
a condition of helplessness. Dnriog a meethig lately held 
at Harry Boleuo'a, for the purpose of arranging the bene- 
fit to Poor Tom, the iollowing lines were contributed to 
the adverllacment adopted:—

Still another evidence of the publio feeling in regiid 
to the Cuma's health doctrines. Is evinced in the fact 
that a swimming Khool Is about to be establidied hi this 
city by an enterprising individual, named Sledenbnrg, t 
Gennan. The liibune stetcs that lit. S. proposes to opai 
B(jiool for the purpose of teaching ladles and gentlemed 
the art of swlmmhig. For this purpose ho will erect a 
building abont 60 by 80 feet, in which will be alaigt) 
tank about SO or 10 feet square, and of a sntSclent depth 
to admit of the performance of all the iavolutlons of the' 
most accomplished swhnmer. This tank will be Ul^ 
with Croton water, which will be warmed to a oomfortable- 
temperature by means of steam pipes, so that the estebllcb>: 
ment will be made available in winter as well as hi hot. 
weather. Female teachers will . I>e .employed, to instruct 
women, and certain days, or' certain hours of each day,; 
will be devoted exclusively to them. Ur. Blcdenburg 
claims that In a abort time, va^bg i^om two weeks io^ 
three months, according to the capacity and amount of, 
practice of the learner, he con teach a pupU all that Is' 
actually neceesary to be- acqnlred, to that he will hav^, 
perfect command ofhlmself in' deep water. Any number 
of fantastic antics could of . course then be learned eaeiiy,: 
No one will deny that swimming should be an accomt)lldr 
ment of every gentleman, for even If It is never called 
into requisition to rescue him from perils by sen, it la al- 
ways a pleasant and healthful .'recreation. 

If properly conducted, i|n lnatItutIon' of this kind cannot^ 
ff^l to prove remunerative to (he projecter. Let us haver 
the swimming school, by all'means.

IIW TOBX IISI MATIBBS. 

Emros CJliffxk— Haying recently noticed the interest 
jm bare tokep In tbe 'morements of the Fire Department, 
f'^onld oall atMntlon tfarongh you iridely clronlated 
'jtarn4 to the ineonvenlenee which the deportment In the 
lower districts labors nnder, and which shonld be attended 
to. We have, In the lower part of the city, twelTa engine 
companlea, as follows : two OistKilass and ten second-class 
engines, and when on duty they require at Uad two hydrant 
itreuns eaA; the flntolass reqnlrlng (Arai Now, It will 
be seen that it will require (uaifyiiz bydiant llnea to give 
tfood sopply of water to the engines to be of any service 
whatever. We have only nineteen hose companies doing 
dnty, and, as It will be seen, we have not enongh hose 
companies to sopply the engines properly, cMn if every 
<^e. of them shonld have a hydrant, and reach to on engine, 
which cannot be done on account of the .hydrants being 
nearly. If not qnite, 300 feet apart, and the hose carriage 
ndt being able to carry over EOO feet, In the first place we 
are Mwn hose oompanles short; in the second place every 
hose , company cannot take a hydrant and reach the fire, 
because some companies have to t^e a hydrant from 1600 
to 2000 feet away fnm the Are; those nearest bekg taken 
by companies arriving first at the fire. This has not been 
fbr a month or a day, but it baa been for years, and I hope 
tliat"the preseat Chief will remedy It What is the good 
of an engine wlthont a good supply of water T The cry 
among the engine men is, " Give ui plenty of water and 
T|;e will pat oat the fire before It spreads further;" and 
tb(9y hava good cause to speak thus. I have often seen 
some of our best engines, well manned, throwing water 
Ooniparatlvely no higher nor stronger thou a hydrant 
stream; and the first thing yoa would, hear woold be, 
when spoken to by a rival company, " Ob, onr engine Is 
out of order 1" The conaeqnence would be, that, next day, 
tiie engine wonld be sent to the hnllder to be overhauled 
to see what was the matter, and the engine would be taken 
to Spikes to ascertain the cause, and notiimg would be found 
wontlag. Where was the fault T Water was wanting ud 
nothing else I One half of the engines are put out of order 
by this long-continuous want. 

I was veiy much gratified to see some of the hose com- 
panies of the app9r districts coming to onr assistance, but 
imagine my surprise to see engines coming too; It was 
making matters worse. This waa no remedy. The only 
way to do It Is to send - the hose companies down town, 
and keep the engines in the districts where they lay, and 
I will vouch for the engine men of the Seventh and Eighth 
Districts. It will be seen that in the Seventh District 
there are three engines and four hose companies laying 
in the Sixth District, and those.companles laying In the 
Fourth District, now doing duty, which makes flfleen 
engines and twenty-four hose , companies in the Seventh ; 
and by giving each engine toe hydrant streams, which 
cannot be done, there will be five engines without water, 
and by giving them all water tiiere will be ribu engines 
with a fall supply and nz with a half supply; thus wast- 
ing time and labor. Now, in the Eighth District, we have 
fifteen engines, two coming bom the npperdlstriots, eigh- 
teen, hose companies in the lower, and three flrom the 
upper districts, making twenty-one, and leaving us in the 
same predicament If our worthy Chief wants the engines 
let him order enongh hose companies to give a good sup- 
ply of water, and thus not cripple '*but give the " down- 
townen" a chance to show what their machines are made 
for. Tours, . Index.

OOOKINQ., 
"Old largtant Cook" aa "WUU HaaUa." 

Ms. EsnoR:— I see by your valuabls JosnuU of llsrch 28, that 
" Whits Hackle" la ont again " urging ho* war." open your ootro- 
pondents, on the subject of Uio Game Ibwl ; and ba goes at It, too, 
with the laTagencss of a hyena, venting his rancoroua spleon upon 
all '■ old Ibglea, " IrrespecUva of the penonal claims of any. He lua 
certainly been lokhig a large dose of Brandreth'a pUls, alas be conld 
never bara purged himself of thla rrfute naUtr. 

I thought he would haTo been contented allsr preaching the ftiaoral 
,orallon and wrlUog the epttapb'fiir myself and Ibwla hi I8M ; but so, 
even Uils does not isUsfy Us voradouanesa I Ho moat kick a poor 
follow after ho Is dead— ao pronounced by his own Judgment and 
writings. Yet, allow me to auggeat— with this commnnlcaUon oa my 
backer— that ho may have given one, kick ■■ too many." There la a 
jposslblllly of a person being in a iranco, and coming to Ulb again I 
Such Is my case. I am not dead, aa ho had eopposed, but alive aid 
kicking, and willing to do battle wlUi him to the enl - 

lu his laat communication ho very modestly advises the Screw Dock 
party "to Udc oat Ihoao Inlrndon, and if yen havo anything to say, 
say it yourselves ; keep dear of each prelaiai Crlenda as " flame 
Cock," "SuewDoek," "Old Bport," "Old Sergeant Cock," and all 
other old fogies ;— their communications show them to bo dunghills. 
In vain have they essayed to depredate Uiebeststock hi the country ; 
thoir motives were malicious— so, at least, I havo concluded." 'WID' 
my friend "White Hackle," nUoi "Fred-eo," tell mo when and 
where havo I drer said one word against ai^y man's' breed orit(wla,'ln 
any of my Ibrmcr commuulcallons t I deiy hbn to point me to a sin- 
gle Instance where eucb raeana wero employed, by mo. Bo farther 
says Tbo honest portion of the Screw party, I linow, wet's 
disappointed at ihsdleastrooB result of tho main of cocks Axigbtsome 
throo weeks sgo, when their breedbig cocks ran away pell-mell ; they 
hardly stood half a flgbt.. I a^mpaUUse with Ihem, and know Ibll 
well Uiatirthe conne adopted tiy.ono of . them bo followed oat, they 
may propagala fowls that may regohi their lost laurels. It Is tho 
Ollly Dcu-d stock ho has rosorled to, knowing this breed to be the 
ibCEt." Bear, me I what sbrowdness "Wblto Hackle," olloi 
■' Fred-ee," exhibited Ui the above Uuls qnotaUon— leaving out the 
White Hackle lo connection with tbo BUly Beard— oxx and Ou aun 
bral I Wby, FVed-ee, hare you become tired of the name of White 
Hackle— the name whoaa moglo sound and pulTed-np worth bos canaed 
many a gold-drop to jingle In your pocket? Had you not belter scars 
up another clutch of tho atarch house fowls, of a little dUbrent Und, 
and agohi send to Nova Scotia (br Bruiser No. 1, to cross— not a Bil- 
ly Beard, but a Blue Beard, a Black Beard or a Bod Beard ; but, for 
heaven's sake, do not oi^iCn give us a Aumrinp Beard or WKiU 
Haelle I 

I have bocomo mors gciinnlnlftrt with your history of late, and. If 
correctly Infbrmod, you are not the man whom you would have the 
people believe you aro. In a commnnlcaUon, published In the New 
York Cunsa In 1898, you said you had fifty hens, and that you wore 
oObred 1200 Ibr ten of them, but that you neither sold, bartered, nor 
wtmid lond them. Host Iraly disinterested individual I you merely 
wished to advise limners and sporlhig men where they could " get 

m»b nu amid bo>r«U*d-n,u .. wW-^nui «t- Ihjl Wl>l>» Ibdit* 

slag you traded with a gentleman not one hundred mlica from Uncas- 
,tac7 Little things wUl leak out It la already woU koown— bence im- 
Deceesory (br me to tell yon. If tho BlUy Beard, altai Whits Knckla, 
ore the tiest breod In the country, why do tbey got whipped so oflsn t 
"Old ^iort," and numerous others, testily that they show the whits 
feather often.- Now, cor aporUng; gentlemen of old Uneaator are of 
tbo Tight alripe ; they never squeal If they lose their money ; and a 
great m^rily of them would not touch a White Hackle with a ten 
foot pole. They know that It la something remarkably alogular that a 
While Hackle will aland to the deaUi In the honda of their present 
owoen, but that when othen get posssaalon of them, they will run 
away. Truly, ■■ there ii something rotten in Denmark." Terbniis 
" Fred-ee" can explahi. 

In answer to "Inquirer," you gavehlm tonndenland that the geo- 
graphical position of tho consoUdalod dty did not extend quits to West- 
cheater. I would be very sorry If It did ; for the One game fowla I 
loft there might be contaminated by tho White Hackle. You say 
further, " I therelbre can have oo allusions to a Dr. J, W. C, box 188 
iF. 0. of that remarkable village." No, but you can havo reference 
to a Dr. Wm. B. Cooper, of the aforesaid "village," who baa, as line 
a lot of game (bwls sa was ever produced hi America. I boll from old 
Uncostcr, where Uitro are as preUy a eel of girls, end a goodly 
number of sportvnon, as any town hi the Union. We have all kinds 
of sport lo " Iheao diggings,"— a mognlOcenl shooting gallery, kept by

Toddy Riy and LncKY. Moobe.— A party of Cbatham- 
Ites who were thrown oUt of their endeavors to lo see the 
mill on Tuetday, between Tyler and Haiielthie, got np an 
extempore aBTalr for £5, between Toddy Bay and Lnclcy 
UooTC, of Korwlch. It took place on the banka'of the 
Medway, and was a merry little affair, lasting SO minutes, 
during which 36 rounds were fbughb Mooro proved him- 
self a game bit of stuff, but ho could not stona against tbo 
superior tactics of his opponent. In tho lost round he waa 
thrown Into a dyke, mm which be waa extricated' wllh 
some dlOcnlty, and bad a narrow escape item drowning. 
Uc wlabed to oontlnue tbe encounter, but his fMends would 
not permit It, and Ray was proclaimed victor. 

SuLuviM AND Jkhuy NoiiTON.— A uovol matohbasbeen

Uaddbn and Bbbitlb.— We have received the following 
from Hike Hodden ; 

<■ Hr. Editor : Tour valuable paper of tho week before 
lost, contains a challenge ftom Bob Breltle, of Birming- 
ham, to llnd a novice to fight mo at 10s. Alb, Now, tlr, 
after all tho bombastic pumng which has appeared In year 
pqlumns from that worthy for tho kut elMit months,. with- 
out any rcsalt, I think I shall be JustlOcdln taUng no flir- 
ther notico of hla remarks, unleat they are supported by a 
< liver ' and articles. Brettle well knows that I will flgbt 
any man In the world at 10«t 41h, for £100 a side ; .«Bd I 
think It would be much more becoming of him were be to 
cease .this ttseloss nonaenso and proceed to bnalnesa. Once 
for all. If tbe BIrmlngbain hero Is.not a{>ftid of domtgh 
bis beantlful phiz with an encounter with a man who wL. 
give him a day's work, both he and hli noTlce can be ac: 
cobainodated with lOst, 91b. or (lb,, for £106 a slde oich 
—master first, and bis man two or three inoDths after: 
Hfe to be stakeholder, and appoint a referee on the 
ground. Upon these and no other terma Will i coonint to 
appear within the P. R. Brettle can send arllolei fdr tho 
double event; with' the name of hfs novlco at pnco, and If 
a deposit Is placed in vonrhan^s, it wlll be Immediately 
covered by, "Venn, dx)., UiiBHiDDnr." 

OnARLES Lynod was snnirlsed that Gilbert wonld not 
take £8 and go on with their match. Lyndi wUI fight 
him for £10 a aide, caloh weight, of Will codObb blnaieir 
to 8st, and allow Gilbert to weigh 9>t, for £20 a side. 
Man and money ready at Mr. UasMr's, Anchor and Hope,

ORSAT PERIL ARS NARROW IBOArB. 

DoBiira ' the famine at EUb. last winter, i^heii 'i^e.'t^oc-,- 
solves were as much distresied for fteahi food, two of mjr 
friends, Awohtok and Myonkj determined to seek the wal> 
ms on the open ice. It was a perlormance of tho greatest 
donger ; but it was better, in ,tocir ayes, than the saorlfloo 
of their dogs, and tbey both possessed, to tho itallest'ex- 
tent, ftat apathetic fatalism' Which ' belongs to the lowly-' 
cnltivated races. Tbty sn'ccieded Ih klUlog a large male, 
and were in tbe act of reluming joyfully to their villager 
when a north wind broke up tbe Ice, and they fontad jtheUr 
solves afloat. The impulaeof an European woiild'haivo 
been to seek the land ; nut thoy knew that the drift wa* 
alwayamoit dangcroua on tbo coast, and urged their dog» 
towaraa the nearest loeberg. They reached it, after ^' 
struggle, and, by tbo greatest eflortsi maido good their 
landing, With their dogs and tho half-batohertd oarttase Of 
the walrus. Poor My onk, as he told th4 story to Pil.t«i;- 
Bfo, made a flrlghtful picture of their snfferlngs, the more 
BO from tbe qmet, stoical manner with Which be detailed 
facts. It wos at tho close, be said, of the moonlight of Dt> 
eember, and in tho midst of the heavy stiirm wnlcb held 
Petersen and myself prisoners at Anoatok. A complete 
darkness settled arodnd them. Tbey tied tho dogs flowta 
to knobs of Ice to prevent their losing their foothold, and 
prostrated thcmeelTcs to escape being ' blown off by the 
violence of 'the wind. At Bitt the K» tMke over uiem^ 
but they joined a higher leve),,and built, a sort of Mreeni 
of ice. (M lAa/i^A n^U (t/t(r«iri<,'Jhdgliig as well aa thl^ 
could, M^ouk froze one of hla feet, and Awahtok loi| bu 
great tM by ttoat-UU.' Bul thoy kept heart of grace, and 
ate their walma-meat aa they floated slowly to tbe eonth. 
The berg came twice into colilaion with floes, and they 
thought at one ttnie they had passed the Utlaksoak, the' 
Great Oaldrbo, oi^ had entered the North Water of Baf- 
fin's Bay. It .tm towards the oloae of tbo Koond moon- 
light,' after a month's imprisonment, : living as only these 
Iron men could llv.e, that they found the berg bad ground- 
ed. They liberated their dogs aa sogn as the. young ice 
would bear their weight, and, attaching long lines to them, 
wbtoh they out flrom tho hide of the dead walroi, thejr stio- 
c^eded' in hauling tiieniselves through -the woter-ipaoe 
which always surrounds an Iceberg, and reaching safe ice. 
They returned to their village like men raised {torn tho 
dead, to meet a welcome, bat to meet.ftimine along with

Hero is lomo interesting bformation about the Atotlo 
hare. 

Thoy wero very beantiftaV at white aa swan's downi 
wltb a orescent of black marking the ea^tIps. Thoy feed 
on the bark and catklna qt the .willow, and aflieot the stony 
sides of the worn-down, rocks, where tbey dnil protcotlon 
iflrom the wind ond snow-drifts. They ao:not burrow like 
lour hares at home, but sqnat! in orevioes or under larbe 
stones. Their average weight Is about nine pounos. 
iThey wonld havo entered largely into onr diet list but for 
our Eiqulnanx dog8,.who regarded . them with relishing 
appetite. Parry found .the laro at Melville Island 'in' 
latitude 7S deg.; but we have traced'It flrom Liitletbn 
-Island, as far north as 70 deg. 8 min., and Its range pro- 
bably extends still farther north towards tht Fofai Its 
structure ond habits enable It to penetrate tbo snow-otuits, 
'and obtain foodwhero the - reindeer and the musk-ox 
perish in ..consequence of the glased covering of their 
feeding-grounds. 

TBBREIKDBBR. 

During the long and terrible winter irtilch followed, » 
relndjier occasionally fell to the gun of the akllftil flans,, 
and was regarded aa a Qod-aend. ^ ;!

in their habits and fond of particular localities. Wocre 
they^ave been gathered together ySor after yoarrtho- 
accuiRmulatlon of discarded antlers is Immense. Tbey 
tell me at Holstelnberg, where more than . four thouand

''to^dglng of the two Acres mentioned, we most rtmenbtr that tbo

who prided himself on apedallUea, (ancb as tbe followleg of Lomtltre 
In BoVert Macalre, for eiample,) we ratber Iblnk that Ur. Walcot de- 
lerTM the meet credit. Somehow Charley seems to delight Ui the 
mystarloos. Ho cerlalnly Is a very promlalog potformer, ud we hare 
gr«i hopes Ibr ha ftturo. Acroa remains like Falatalf, a aiwlyfor the 
erlUca. 

or Ibe two Davids, Otorgs BoUud ud "Billy VllllamsoriheVolla" 
woold be as near alike as tbeir agea. \T. U. Williams was bolter 
ffnaUBed for Sir Anthony Absolute, ud he knew It; Qeorge Holland 
woold prefer dressing up for tbe noachman, ud no doubt bo known 
that.' Both perftrmen woold ondcaTor to do Jnallce according to the 
Higg manager's cast, but we are euro tbtt Mr. WllUims waa the meat 
(Uldloua ud electric. By the way, It b our goeea .that " Blly VU- 
llama of Iho Tells" did not come to tnU country until IBU, ud that 
bla Srstappcaruoa at the KaUonol was as BIr Anthony Abaolote. 

Ibe two raikluda probably noTor bad better auatalnara aa aontl- 
moit-uUeren. In tbe elocutionary ud all colloquial relattons, Mr. 
Dyelt la truly praiseworthy; ud, not knowlog of Mr. Abbott, one need 
BOtlooklbrabcllorFnlklud. £|1U, AbhoU had the adrutagcof that 
aleginca of acbooUsg whlcb experience bad taught him among the Or- 
landos, Foregrlos Mcklea, ud Wince Claudlos of tbu Loudon etage, aa- 
Iblad by Jack FawccU's frludablp ud George Butley'a adrlco while 
MOovenlOardeo. 

Ibe FSga are nottobeoTorlooked, apcclallyaucbas J. Wallack, Jr., 
and Mr. Lovore. Fag waa Ibe youthnir Jim'a choice Ibr hla flist light 
ta New York, and he ablyahowed hbuaJnlog iloco the dayi when 
••Oora'achUd" In Philadelphia. II waa a bnlllut triumph fortbe 
nameof Wallackandthemuager'a "noTvy." Inhct, "Uncle Jem" 
had a right to be proud. There waa n fresb, top-booty, tigory, witer- 
Ing placy kind of vitality about the Fag of J. Wallack, Jr., which waa 
tore to please Ibe odmlren or Bherldu. We missed aeelng Mr. Lovcre'a 
peiaooallon of the character laatwcek, but liare been hjormed that II 
waa Tory creditable. 

no two JuUaa— Emma Wheatley ud Mrs Iloey— are both favorably 
known to Now York theaire goera. Ibe former lady waa aa example 
of every virlae, wllta many mertia as a uorruroer. lb apeak as a cilUo, 
we must award the preference In this cose to the most modem ac- 
tieea, Mrs. Uoey. Emma Wbcatley would no doubt have attained 
great eminence bad aho remained In the protcealon, ud her reasons for 
retomlog to It fbr a short period were of tbe moat honorable character. 
Ear deaib on Long lalud left a moumlbl void In Now York aodely. 

In the other two cbaraetere—Lydla LooguUh ud Mrs. Ualopiop— 
Ibe Imperaooaters at Wallack'a In 1857 are undoubtedly superior to the 
two previous ladles. A belter aclreia tbu Mrs. Vemoa cunot he 
Ibusd, ud wo ehould becomo loo uecdolol for our limits iroUemptlog 
to apeak of her ud the other membeti of the Fbbcr family, to whlcb 
aba originally belonged. No doubt "Aocrlcua" or some such " Old

made four scratches ; bat on the fifth, Watch leflued to 
face the music, and Jack waa pronounced the winner, after 
a well-contested battle of U mhtutcs. Considerable mosey 
obanged bahds on the occasion, and all present at the fight

Condition, although Sullivan's dog was somewhat lame la

another dog. Ou gettlug to the scratch, both went at It 
with a will, Spot playing on the legs and nose, and Turk 
fighting at the throat At the end of twenty minutes, 
Turk turned. On the 2d round. It being Turk's scratch, 
he went in, and was well met by Spot, both playlog atthe 
same point as before ; In three minutes, Spot turned. It 
being nis scratch, he went at Turk like a shot, and got a 
telling bold, which he kept for two minutes, when Turk 
broke bis bold and turned. On time being called, It 
behig Turk's scratch, he refused, and the battle was 
awarded to Spot, after fighting 26 minutes,

Editor : I have Just seen a challenge in your paper IVom 
some unknown lover of the trigger, to sboot a match at 
pigeons against any man in this State, at 26 birds each, 
for $100 a side. If this crack bad let us known bis nsine, 
perhaps he might have been accommodated upon hla own 
terms. As It Is, nothing can bo said ; but should this 
nameless aspirant for fame think proper, to come out bold 
and say what he means, he shall be met npon tho most 
flrlendly terms ; all that Is wanted Is a fair field and no fa- 
vor, I can assure you, Ur. Editor, there are several 
sportsmen In this city anxious to have such an opportunity
