Louls, and he, Wlislow, Jim Jones, and George Audrin, of Clilcago, took all the bets they condd find on Miller, A secont riur was forined, conalsting of Barney Aaron, Jack- gon (the hovse-nan), nnd one or two others, who backed Dauer, As to tho way fn, which the two rings cnmne together there aré two storles, One 13 that the Batier party were hand-In-glove with the Miller gang, and that Parks was the object on which th “ycun\hlllud. 1t s gaid that Ilnrm-(y Aaron went {nto Fox's pool-room Tuesday, and, Tanling out a roll uf money, said to a irlend, *But this on Miller, and LOOK OUT ¥On IARKS." At that moment Parks entered with Bauer, and Barney stld out a side door, Shortly atterwards alittle man, who has vccastonnlly dealt ** ghort cards,” came {n and offered £100 on Mitler. Dauer midged Parks, who took the bet. Others were offered, all of which Parka took, he claling on Bauer's nssurance that he (Bauer) had Axed the matel anil wassuretawin, This was Tuesdny Tast, and Parks went around betting up to the Sourth bout of the mateh, ot which time he had £3,500 up [n inoney and dinmonds, But Barney denfes this, and says that he bet on Bauer, be- lleving him to be tho better man,and Jost $1,300 on his judguent. Another story, and probalily the nearer cor- rect, i that Parks went to Miller and Bauer and offercd Lo put up $2.400 on Bauer, with the un- derstanding that Bauer should win, nud that the §2,100 won Bhould be divided into three equal ports, each taking 8300, One of the wrestlers, und probably hotly, were ready to sceept the terms, but were scared out of it by the stand taken by a gentleiman who fonnd outliow things were guing, and wiho threntened todrive both out of townif he found out any crooked work, ‘The two men went off and had” o further con- sultation with Parks, who began to Lot stronger than ever on Bauer.

Y’nrku says that his hiets thien amounted o values and money to £3,700 or §3,300, Barucy Aaron suys that Parks only lost &2,200. A few of the faney besldes Barney got bitten, but the victim was Parks, In all” probability the comblnation will contribute to hclp thie other fellows out, but nothing will be done for Purks, except wiat he may sid in the way ol rellef throuizh the machinery of the Jaw. After the mateh was over Saturduy night, the wrestlers, Parks, Mike MceDonald wial o few others, met {n Joe Mackin's saloon, and Tor alit- tle time It looked like riot. Parks displayed thie butt of a pistol in his trowsers pocket, but was persuaded not to use i, by threats that anything of that sort would subject himn to n voyaze through the window. The argament was Jong and exclting, but Parks, faflinig to get any satisfaction, started off to the resldence of Counsclor Trude. whom he begzed to get out an injunction forthwith to stop payment by the stakehollers, Trude of course could not do anythingr until to-day, and yesterday the money was pald over to the wiuntng partfes. For o complicated scheme it was the most sue- corsful ever worked. If Parks' loases will con- tribute towards breaking down the palpable fraud known us ‘*Grieco-Roman wrestling,'” the couimunity can atford to make goud tuo amount ont of which he wys swindled, i TOCAL LEITTERS.

New Yonk, Oct. 18.—The opening of the New York Aquarilum on Wednesday evening gives to our citizens and our thousands of visit- ors from tho country, snotber most attractive place of amusement and city authorities have thought it worth while to Instruction, Our expend thousands upon thousatds of dollars In perfecting a zoologlenl garden in Contral 1ark, where nre gathered specimens of animals of nearly every kind, and from nearly every country, but it remained for privato enterprise to establish an squarlum, whero the denlzens of thedeep may be seen In their native clement. \When Barnum'a Muscum was in cxlstence he atone timendded toft o few tanks of fishes, which he called an aquarium, butwhich was very insignificant indecd somparcd to the ono just opened by W. C. Coup and Richo & Brother. But, small as it was, Barnwm's aquariwm wos loug the most attractive feature of his exhibitfon. As a matter of study, zcbras, rhiooceroses, girafles, camels, monkeys, cte., are well enough, and the city has done well in establishing its Zoological Garden, but for practical use and benefit to the human fam- fly the aquarfum s for superlor. We mav never hopo to reproduce zcbras, and giraffes, ete, In suflicfent num- bers to be of any.benefit to mankind, but we may hugu by nudylnyi the habits of tho thou- sands of vaticties of fish, to reproduco such aa aro good for food, sud fntroduce Into avalluble waters varleties that ore strangers to them, When turned loose n the streams, flsh cost ‘nothlug to ralse, and, 1 intelligently guarded and protected, wil provide clicap and wholesome foud for the milllon. Ths preaent cnterprise hns . recefved =~ much encouragenient from the Stato Flsh Commis- slon, and in fact, the Coinmission will licreafter make ita headquarters at tho aquarium. Ience, too, the hatching of Callfornla salinon ls con- ducted under the direction of the Superintend- cnt of the Fish Commulesion. These salmon, when latehed, will be distributed in varlous lakes and streams of tho country, where mill- fons have nlready been turncd lovse, ond in s fow years we shall liave this new varlety of de- liclous i1sh in our markets. TUE AQUARIUM, x Tt was after viewing the British aquarfum at Brighton, England, and scveral others in Eu- rope, that Mr. Coup (who will be remembered as o partoer of P, 1\ Barnum in the Hi drome) determined upon apening one in Now York.

THE PINNY THISES, Aronnd the aldes of the room there are nu- merous large and smull tanks, filed with salt water, In which are fnnumerable specinens of dilferent kinds of flah, To schiedule the names of thess cyen would requiro a columu of spuce, But bere arc numerous varietics, nearly all of which uro novel to this latitude, 1In size they rauge from the ugly look- ing shark, five or six feet “long, to the tiny nln-lnq:. no blgger thau a Jerscy mos- qulte, ~These Little fellowa are trausparent as to thelr bydles, and appurently lave wmore legs than o Byronle ballet. ~ One of the most slugu- lur of these flshis tho skote, o fs o flut cue- tomer, varying in_slze from that of your hund ta that of & bushel basket, white on the under side, and Mght-brown on top., Iu swimming, tho cdges of liim mave with u regular undulat- ing motiun, which constitutes thic act of propul- sion, This fellow has a labit of willxe fug himsedf to the gloss, white slde to audience, and sliding up and down., As ho had a very human-like countenance, and nmuses Itmaclt by muking faces at the sucetators, hie is found to he very entertaining, ‘There ure tunks with crabs und” lobsters, sprawling about with their ever-present legs, dodiging in ad out of the rocky caves and wrottoos, which have been provided” for themw, fighting sud quarrellug, Kouging out cuch others' eyes, und biting ulf caelt others' lews by way of ki themselves entertaining,” But they don’t mind the Juss of an eye or Lo, or & few legs; they sprout now anes in o few days, aud never secid to miss thelr cast-off memnbers, unless it bo when one is inaking a Junch oft of a detuched Tegzund some other fellow comes and grabs it, ‘'hien ho misses it, aml ¢ groes for” the annoy- fnge chap he finds gnawing it. ‘There aro toad- Alshh, dojz-tlsh, eat-ish, cow-(lsh, buliticads, sheeps hieads, (fsh logy and ugly, fish agile and beau- tiful, tlsh of wrilllaut “colors, nnd flsh which one wouldn't care to meet ulone after dark in an ' unfrequented street—it they did not com- mit & murderous assault upon o stray way- Tu then thelr countenances belle thelr char- ac ‘Phere are cels {u disguating varlely, turtlea of varled hues, sturgeons with idia- rubber uoses, and a pickerel-looking fish with a shurp nose as long as_your arm. 1 presume thesu ato tha pickpockets of the ishy tribe, or some other kind of svaly choracters, Bug the varieties ars nlinost endless, and one can never, et tirte of watching them, No wonder old zak Waltun and Beth Green sing the pralses of theso beautics of the sca and lake, for muuy of them are handsome enough to bu the vets of the ladies’ parlor, while uthers are us ugly us an old mald's poodle. AN IDEA O¥ TUR UNDERTAKING. Not less than 8100,000 have been already ex- pended n getting this collection together, ~ Ex- peditions linvo been scot {nta wyery sca 1o pro- curo specimens, while our own lakes aud rivers have u required to yleld up thelr chivleest ‘which finny treasurea to ald tho student and entertain tho publie. The expedition sent to Labrador to capture whalea forwarded two somo thine ago, which committed harl-kari in thelr unfinialic tanks, Tho third {s now on exhibition and dylm‘,;. Thero Is no possibllity of gemn another hefore gpring, for they are nob found {n ahonl water {n cold weathor. Tho Labrador expedition, however, consisting of twenty-four rcmmn continnes Ita crulse, looking forother nlnrullnz specimens from the northern scas, Avessel sent to the troples for speeimens of fish peeuliar to thuse warmer waters has re- turned threa thines, having lost thousanda of heautiful specimens after” crossing the Gulf 8trean. \When captured, the fish are placed fn o well of the vessel which connects immotiately with tho ocean, But o change In the temperatura of the water has thus far proved fatal to them, Still the vessel has returned, and will try other nwieans of brincing home the next eargro. i Another vesscl waa chartered {n San Francisco carly In tho summer, and its Cantalu instructed to cn{vmru specimons of the sca-clephant, the sea-fon, the walrus, and the seal, A singlo sca-llon 8 tho only result of the crulse thus far. Nelther o sca-elephant nor o walrus has cver been exhibited ahve, and Mr, Coupls determined to have them If posslble. Sea-llons and acals have become quite contmnn ginee Mr. Coup futroduced the rracllcu of eapturing then for Barpum.

When he does it howill have carned tho £4,000 which his contract calls for, The cuttle-fish bas never heen scen at the North, nnd {t 1s doubtful if onc can be brought heroalive. 1n ndditlon to these sources for tho supply of speclmens, Mr, Cflll{l Tins established stationa at corst, on Lake Michigan, ono at St. Johus, Newfoundland, and one on the Isle Aux Coudres, In the 8t. Lawronee River. Agcnts at these polnts are aonthe lookout for peculiar epecimens of fish, and are under jnstructions to forward them at once, Thousunds of speci- mens bave died in trausit already, and other thousands — have died ~ slnco they were placed fn tho tanks, 'The reasons for this tish mortality, asoflicinily glven, are numerous, Tho tempetature of the water, too much or too little lizht, impurity of the wa- ter, the smell of paint in the new bullding, tho lime used in bullding the foundations of tho tanks, and many other canses have contributed to il the cemetery connected with the aqua- rium. When thhqtzu fzet settied, especially the water, this mortality will be reduced, nnd spect- mens are vxpected and will bo required to live to ndvauced ago {n thelr artificial homes. SOME IDRA OF TIIE EXVFENSE nttending the collection of these specimens may bo gatliered from the facts I have stated regard- ingtho varlous cxpeditions which are secking them. But tho preparations to recoive them are algo on alargo scale. The slnple itom of providing salt water for them costs no trifie. A reservolr containing 160,000 gallons {s con- structed under the bullding, and a fresh supply of salt water is Erovldcd overy day, ~ This i3 obtalned a schiooner away out in the ocean beyond Sandy Hool, where it fa frea from the Fnrbnzn nnd linpuritics deposited in the bay by tho Icalth oficers, It 1s trausferred from the schooner to the reservoir in Inrge tanks as required. After ncouple of hundred thousand gallons had been dumped fnto this reservolr, which only holds 160,000 gallons, it was surinised that there was o leak somewhere, and so there was, which neceseftate digging up a large part of i, and caused o delay of two weels, From the reservolr the water fs umped through pipes mado of vulcanized rub- er to tho tauks)into which it falls in n bub- bling streamn, The tanks arc arranged on an incifie, and the water passes out of the bottom of ona through o plpe which dlscharges it into the top of the next. DPasging through the series of tonks fn this manner, it s thor- oughly acrated, and furnishes the fish with o full supplf' of fresh alr with their water, After pussing through the tanks it is returncd to tho maln reservoly, where it rocelves an ad- {nlxmru of fresh water, and then contlnues ita ur. The tanks aro built upon solid stone founda~ tlons, which are laid from four to six feot bulow tho surfuce. At the back of them s n solfd wall of brick two fect thick at the bottom, Iaid {n ce- ment, the other three sldes of cach belng made of thick sinte glass. Insido of tho tauks there is rockework, Iald up In artistic nnd fantastic shopes, where the flah can retire for incdltation without befug concealed {rom the prylng cyoes of visitors. Much difticulty bas been experienced {n getting these tanks so thot thoy would stand the immenso pressure of water upon them, The one contalning tho whale burst from the - heavy pressure of the water, snapping the heavy Iron frume in twain. ‘The glass withstond a greater pressure than tho fron..

In thirty days niore they will begin to batch out, and soon after the young ealmon will bo la con- ditlon to transfer to the lakes and rivers. This sulmon s regarded o8 one of the most desirable of all the finny tribe for food, For severul years the Fish Commlissioners have been hatching them and distributing them among the soveral Statca of the Unfon, in whose wuters they will soon rear a numerous progeny whichshall ¥lso up on their talls and call them Dlessed—so will the people who are thus provided with a cheap and delielons articlo of fuod.
