Convention of Human and Canine Animals at Tolleston, Ind,, Yesterday. Bridgeport and the North Side Dis- pute (e Canine Championship. A Fierce Fight of Over an Hour's Duration. The Bridgeport Animal Chewed Tp by His Opponent. Striking Exhibition of Brutality. In some of the school-books the Dog is described a8 #a domestic animal much eitached to man.” This attachment of the average canino to tho lord of crea- tion s, howover, infinitesimal when compared with the edbesivencss wherewith the 8ghting “ dorg” clings to another of the same character when placed in the Irizosrens, Tho laws of Ilinois prohibit dog-tour- paments within the Uimits of the State; 5o the * fan- ciers™ of the animal are forced to migrate fothe penal colontes of red-clsy Indiana when they desire %o test the fangs of their favorites, s displayed in savage onslaughts on esch other’s windpipes. This explaing why Tolieston, Ind., is generaliy sclected 23 tho listed field for tho eoul-stirring encounters already remotely alluded to. THE EALLY TRATNR of yesterday morning on the Pittsburgh & Ft. Weyne and Michigan Central Railroads bore from this city » crowd of leisurely * gentlemen,” whose chief delight would sppear to be the witnessing of masticatory ef- forts, practiced on esch other, on the part of tho dog family. These gentry mske a regular busiuess of breeding dogs of a combative disposition, that fierco nybrid epecics known as the bull-terrier being the “gamest » kind of animal known to the fraternity. A ToIuxE reporter was detailed to proceed to Tollo- ston and witness A CANINE TOURNAMENT +which was uridesstood to be on the tapis in that inter~ esting locality. He proceeded to the village via the Fort Wayne Road, but found very little of a sporting “mob ™ aboard the train. The conductor informed i that the first batch of “the fancy” Lad gons ou t Dby the early train on the Michigan Contral, and had taken with them THE NORTH SIDE ACHILLES, famiifarly known ss Mike Hartnetw's “ purp” “Spot,” & veteran of fourtecn buttice. inall of which hewas victorous, und in nine of which be proviaed fresh material for the eusage-makers in the way of cauines smatched untimely off.

ToLLESTON 13 just suited for the uscs to which it 15 80 often put. It1s hardly of suflicient tangibility to be called avil- lage, s3d might be run past unnoticed if it were not that'the Michigan Central znd Fort Wayne Bailroads <1055 each other at that point. The train having etopped, the Bridgeport dog with his backers alighted from the cars, and tie other party Toceived the new arrivals in duo form. Tbe snimaly were led by their respective owners to fhe ssioon and grocery of J. AL Reim, which i located about fifty rods from the crossing. In theToar of this store is wiluated A LARGE, DLEAK ROOS, " fall of cracks and crannies, dreary engugh, on a blus 4y such as yesterduy wzd, t0 make oned soul shiver within him.~ The wind howled mournfully through open door and window, 2nd the square *pit,” rudely Toardod, proclaimed the uses to which tho placs was customznily dedicated. 1 oo cormer of this + shobang ” was placed 8 seales for the purpose of weighing the interesting quidrupeds who were about 1o afTord sport to the Chicago human- {tariane.

The Detectives Capture Two Dens of Thieves, and Recover $15,000 Worth of Stolen Property. During the pest six wonils seversl extensive rob- ‘Deries have taken place in tho business portion of the city, but they wero 50 well dove and the perpetratars of them covered up their tracks £o effectnaliy that the ‘police authorities could obtain no clue 2s to the iden- tity of the thieves or their whereabouts, Among the different firms thst have suffored in this manner are G. Mencelson's laca and embroidery store, 72 Washington strect, Biggs, Spencer & Co., cut- lery and guns, 335 Wabssh ovonue, Cobb's Library Association, under the Palmer House; Wil ismaon, Groy & Co., Guns znd cutlers, 213 Wost Mad- 1son strect; and L. Schick, stationer, 102 Madison street. At'the time of their occurrence, most of these Tobberies wero written ©p in Tix TRIBUNE, and all the facts given. When the store of Gustsy Mendelson had been robbed of $7,000 worth of kces, in the Istter part of January, Detectivo “Joe” Dizon was given the case to work wup, which ha set himself t0 do with his wusual skill and persever- ance, but for some time was wnsuccems— ful. And hero it may bo mentioned s a proof of {ho readinesa with which people impugn th ehar~ acters of othsrs, that clthough Mr. Mendelson Lod elways Leen regarded 28 3 eiraightforward business man, yet 10 sooner did he looso bis goods, than there were pleatly of persons to be found, who openly do- clared thetit was their opinion he had sold his laces and claimed 1o have them stolon, in orlder that he might defrsud bis creditors, Indeed, so generally were theso _storica sircuisted that the’ gentioman's credit was very muck: in:jired.

The srrangements for the Chicago Inter-State In- dustrial Exposition of 1874 have beea completed, and circolars announcing the fact will next week be scat- tered over the country. * 1T wILL orEx on Sept. 9, and continue until Oct. 10, and the display of manufactured articles, machinery, fruits, flowers, etc,, will undoubtedly exceed in number and variety any collection ever beforo exhibited in the United States, Tho expericnce of last year has added to the lnowledge of the Directors, and they purpose remedyinz all defects, and meking the Exposition as perfect in every respoct 28 it {5 poseible to make it, No abeolutely new features are to characterizo the exhibition, but soms of those which were in the back-ground last year will bo given more prominence this time; eapecially the process of manufacture—machinery in_operation—tho finc-arts, and the floral department, It is in contemplation, aud megotiations arenow on footto thatend, to Laves show of IMPORTED DRAUGHT STALLIONS. Thero are probably 100 of theso immenso animals within easy reach lof Chicago, and their owners will undoubtedly consent ta their exhibition. If thoy do, a place will bo provided for the stnd at tke uorth end of the building, in connection with tlie department of agricultural implements, A LAZGE NUSX'EL OF MANUPACTURFRS have already significd their intention of sending gooda; correspondence hos been carried on with them, but no positive engogements have ca yet een entercd into, aud will not be until formal applicatiors for wpace pave been made, The blank forna wilt be mailed this week to all who are likely to want room, and, when properly filled up and_returned, the Direc tors will consider them, From tho indications appar- entat this eatly day, the vast edifice will unquestionably Lo stocked with o larger and Aner displsy of goods, machinery, fruit, flowery, and articies of every Xind than have over Lefore been sbown in America, Not only the West nnd Northuwest, but the Lsstand even Europe will Le represcnts rracEs. The price of exhibitors’ tickets han been reduced from $10 to $5, and crmployes’ tickets from $4 to $2,— all workmen beyond $wo, whose £ervices zre nocessary, to bo admitted free. And another escellont thing is al20 to bo done: Last year the admission fee on Sat- urday afternoon was 25 cents instead of 50 cents, a8 on the other days of the weck, Thix year the same’ price —25 cents—will bo charged on Wednesday evenings, thus affording workingmen and their families a doubls chanco to witness the Exposition. THE TROGRAMAMP. The following is tho programme agreed upon by the Dircetors : “The remarkable success of last yesr, under cir- cumstances of peculiar aud serious embarrasament may be fairly regarded as an indorsement, amplo ane conclusive, of the generzlaims and purposes of this organization itselt, by our own citizene, by the public, snd espocially by thoes in the Northwest who repre- Bent the great industrial interests of the countrr, “ While the relations of Chicago towards othier por- tjons of the Urited Stato hava already rendered i+ the greatinland distribuling centre for industrial products, destined to consumption amonz the people of the West, it s also rapidly ndvancing to a front rank among the great mauufacturing citfes of tho worid. “As 3 railway-centre, also, it 18 easily and cheaply ac- ceatible to s populatien unrivaled in point of intelii- genceand enterprice, occupying 3 district of at least 50,000 square miles of tho fines: znd most fertile couns try in tie world, and sctively engaged in =ll the varied industries of life. “In view of theso and many other facts which might Dbe mentioned, it s certainly diflicult to overcstimicte the advantages offered by this point to manufactuevrs, artisans, and artis, for suck o display of their pro~ ductd e8 ehall render the Exposition creditable 38 an exponert of the condition ond progress of industry and art in their several departments, *The Exposition building, erected at cast of about 300,000, 18 the largest and best of it class on this con- tinent. It is eituated contiguous to tho very heart of thecity on Lake Yark, and in, in all respects, ndmira~ bly sdapted to the purpose of its erection. 'In every other respect, also, Zothing will be overlooked or omii- ted to reader all the appointments practical and com- plete. Exhibitors end visitors may rely with the ut- most confiderce upon the assurance that thio arrango- menta for tkeir accommodation are, in all eesential features, comparatively faultless. 12 Whilo 4 general and, to rome extent, miscelleno- ous disploy i8 expected, it in the wish and design to ‘mako cvpecially prominent tho oxhibition of the pro- cers of manufacture, machinors in practical opera— tion, works of art, cod the products of fSoricuiture. All departments are amply provided for in tho clessifi- cation and in the general ‘arrangemente, and will, in 10 regard whatever, be circumscrilod; bot it is thouglit possible, a3 it certainly is desirable, to render thoeo nymed far more ctrzctive and insiructive than usual.

If it wero put to the ~oto, mast of them would prefer her to the Pyra- mids, if not_to the Nile. Even the moral and pious, the oldest and the coldest, cannot forego this bit of temptation ; so they get themselves earnestly assured by their dragoman, or, better still, by some gentleman of acknowledged high cheracter,—if posgible from Boston,—that thero is really nothing in ber performance which would call 8 blush, etc. Itis better still if Mr. High Character gravely assures them that in fect ho All of this is most thankfully accepted, for, ad- mittingit in foll, the dancers are stillimproper— which has a charm beyond beauts oz grace; and however good 2 man may be, he is seldom willing to admit Lie did not wee it, aud knows nothing dircctly sbout it. Hardened worldlings who fre- quent the regular ballet are noi so deeply dis- gusted with tho Ghazien, nor do they find her g0 altogether stupid or 8o invariably ugly. 1lost of the dancing of the Ghawezi is indiffer- ont enough. It is. 2however, remarkablo that ‘what skill they do exhibit, even nnder these cir- cumstances, is seldom appreciated: for tho dullest of them generally affect muscular fents, snch 28 one never sees in the West, yot which are not dircctly pereeptible. They sl seem to have tho povwer of mqving any part of the body freely, just as certein persons can move their cars; and itis wonderfnl how they will continuo to agitate every muscle in the most violent and rapid manner for hours, quivering from head to foot as if clectrified, without bzing_ in the least fatigued, and, what is incredible, with- out perspiring. 3 I only onco &aw Ghawazi' dancing, which was, in the opinion of nat:ve gentlemen, and of Turopeams whohad been many veurs in tho country. and had full opportunitiesof judging, of a really superior and artistic character. This was » Girgeh. Thero wore two girls, one quito pretty aud voung, the other less attractive, bod rather tho better dancer. These dencing-girls were dressed in long skirts, one over the other, reaching to the aukle, the upper garment being of a whitish yellow or reddigh colos The body and arms were clad in a very dark, tightly-fitting chemiso, with_shite stripes, balf aninch broad. about two inches spart, looking tiger-like. Over this was worn & vory fight jacket of red satin, very short in the waist, with tight short sleeves. On their heads _wero curicusly-shaped caps, end their hair hung in long braids. Around the waist was o eilver girdle with high bosees; and dependent fromitin loops wasa very curious and massive ornament or chain, made of cight or ten trisngular silver boxes, and mavy large silver beads, A profusion of gold necklaces, coins, and other ornaments hung from the neck ard head. Other Ghawazi ot different towns wore dresses very different from this. At one place their garments were of black from head to foot, with eilver stripes, while the braids of hair wero very prettily made, terminating in many silver balls. At Siout I saw one whoso only ornaments were an incredible quantity of gold coins of all sizes. ‘The first dancing of all Ghawazi is simply mov- ing abont to the music and undulating the body. Then waves of motion are made torun from head to foot, and over theso waves pnss with inciedible rapidity the ripples and thrills, a8 you Lave seen a great billow in a breeze look like a smaller searnbbed with a thousand wavelets. All is_doncin perfect time with the musi Then the air changes znd there is & variation in the dance. The girl stops—she Lecomes im~ movable below the body and moves only the body above, rocking &nd swaying, expressive of suffering from intense passion. At times, and in time with the music, a_convulsion thnlls the waist, arms, and Lend, and eometimes the muscles. She becomes quict; but if you ob- serve closely the movement, passion and exer- tion are not less intense, and tho breasts con- tinue to move 28 if vitality remsined in them alone; perhaps only one throbs violently. There is auother change, and the dancer sinks slowly almost to_her knees, asif overpowered with passion, whilo the arms sweep i singalar but gracefnl gestures. Perhaps sio *‘waves” nlowly in & wrlking dance, moving tho lower part of her body forward more and more with a vig- orous quivering, and once in ten seconds stari- ing with o convulsion which graduslly becomes moroe frequent until she apparently yields and expires. “The girl at Girgeh performed & very pretty dsnco, which was quite s poem. Placing n cup, symbolic of temptation, on the ground, she danced around it in o style which wag porfectly Spanish, torning tho bodyand sinking low with great grece and exquisite art. Tho cup ap- peared to exerciso a ternble fascination, and she eeemed afraid to drain it. The fear was per- fectly 2cted. Five times without aid from her arms ehe aimostlay on the ground, with hor thirsty lips just dallving with the edge, znd thon Tieng swept in dance and thrilled and shivered. and turned and saok again. The sixth time she had completed a circle, and no longer able to re- sist, ebo approached the cup with throbs and pauses, and then without using her band, lifted it from the ground with her lips alono, draming it 83 she rosc, and the tragedy of temptation beinz over, morrily danced about the room in quick “step, with her head thrown back holding the cup all the time in her moutb. Then the clder girl placed s cup on her head, and danced for a long time a great voriety of movements without letting it fall, the same being dove in turn by tho younger. I did not seo, howeyer, 2s my fellow travelers did on another cccasion, dancing girls who while dancing made cups run from the head down the side of the face, along the arms and back, as & skilled Her- cules in & circus makes cannon bails travel around him. This is, however, rather juggling than dancing. Sometimes s stick is used in these performances. * Somet:mes the two girls dance & duo; and I Lavo socu this medo quite cs improper, though not o sickly eentimental, as in any opers-house in Europe, when the ballerina falls back into tle malo object's arms, eyeing him with a leering amile, while she lifta one leg to the gallery. There are 'Awalim and ’Awalim, and Ghawazi and Ghawazi. Some ere mero peasant girla who work by day 2nd dance by night ; and others are Tow caste, and dance coarsely, with & malo jester taking occasional part in the performance ss I suw at Lusor. 1am told that the best are to be seenin Cairo, in the grand harems on groat festival occasions. Their stylo of dancing is the #ao:e that prevails, with variation, all over tho Fast, and tho great difference between it and that of the Wost is simply that the one consists principally of expressive movements and pento- mime of the body, whilo the latter'iy chiefly Jumping with the legs. There is just the same difference in their danciog and ours tlat there i8 in the musio; and the Oriental is physically quite as difficult as the other. ‘When I was on the Nile, I gave the Ghawazi the name * Wavers,” as expressive of their movements.
