The prize fight between Cartwright and Far- rell took place early yesterday morning at Gunston’s, about seventeen miles down the Potomac, and resulted in a victory for the former, who knecked Farrell out in less than | twominntes, It could not be called a fake, as Farrell was undoubtedly knocked out, but it was a fluke of the worst description, as Farrell never was in it; in fact, he scarcely knew how to put up his bands. About 200 of the fistic gentry left the city shortly after midnight on the steamer Cecil for the battie grounds. The police boat accompanied the party to see that the fight did not take place in the District, but turned around as soon as the line was passed. It was after 4 o'clock Sunday morning when the boat tied up at Gunston’s wharf, and at 5 o'clock the fight commenced, and almost in- stantly ended, for in just one minute and fifty-five seconds Farrell had gone to grass unconscious. ‘This made the sports mad, who scarcely bad time to get interested before the fight was over. As soon as Cartwright had been declared the winner Jack Kelley of Wilmington, Del., jumped in the ring and challenged him. The sport wanted the fight to take place at once, but C: wright objected and each man posted $25 f fight in the future. It was breakfast time when the Cecil landed in Washington, and a more jaded set of sports would be hard to find. —_—>— ‘The ¥. M. C. A. Lectures. ‘The parlors of the ¥. M. C.

AMUSEMENTS. ‘Tae Sroppanp Lectvnes.—The first matinee at the Academy of Music by Mr. John L. Stod- dard, on Saturday, was largely aitended and his lecture on the‘ Land of the Midnight Sun” was exceedingly interesting. His description of the nificent valleys of Norwe: fjords, bordered by towering mountains, seamed with thousands of cascades; the ocean ed with picturesque and lovely he strange presence of eternal day- light, with the wonder‘ul spectacle of the sun brilliant at midnight; the village and cities, with their simple inhabitants, was graphic’ and deeply entertaining. ‘The’ personal character- istics of the Norwegians were touched upon and the lecturer said they were all anxious to get to America. A brief history of the oft vikings, their funeral rites and warlike customs was given, together witha view of an old viking ship which was recentiy found in a remarkable stato of preservation. Bergen, the former home of Ole Bull; the city of Molde, remarka- ble for ite rich vegetation despite its extreme latitude: the Romsdalhorn and its fantastic ches’ Peaks; the famous old cathedrai of Trondbjem, built in the twelfth century, and its varied ‘fortunes; a perforated mountain, through which runs a tunnel #0 complete and smooth that it appears to have been made by human hands; Fomso, the home of the Laps, and Hammertest, the most northern city of the world, were among some of the featares shown and described, and the lecture closed with a detailed account of Mr. Stoddard’s trip to the North Cape, from whose summit he had viewed the setting sun at midnight. ‘The illustrations were remarkably fine, asin fact,are all the views shown at these lectures. ‘Tonizht wiil commence the third lecture of the first course, which will be a continuation of the journey in Mexico. ‘The matinee next Sat- urday will be “Jerusalem and the Holy Land.” ‘Tur Tavary Coxcert.—The concert at Al- baugh’s last night by the company headed by Mme.

She sang the grand arias from “Traviata” and “Rigoletto” excel- lently, proving herself a thorough artist and giving complete satisfaction to Ler audience.

The family and minister were then sum- moned to the dying man’s bedside and ail were present at the time of his death. ‘The body is attired in ageueral’s uniform. The official Darmstadt Gazette announces the accession of the deceased’s son, Ernest Ludwig, to the grand dukedom. ‘The news of the death caused great grief at Windsor, where the deceased was a great favor- ite. The queen will send the Duke of Edinburgh to represent her at the funeral und may pos- sibly delay her own departure for the continent as a mark of respect for the decease: —————— Sensrezz ‘Suggestions in regard to v nip. So many remedies are advertised to cure the Grip that people sunile and shake their heads. Now wedo not claim Hood's Sarsaparilia to be a cure for this really dangerous complaint. If you have the Grip the Lest thing you can do is tocall a reliable physician. But we do claim that for two conditions in relation to ‘the Grip Hood’s Sarsaparills is a very valuable medi- cine. FIRST, AS A PREVENTIVE. ‘Hood's Sarsaparills so purifies the blood and builds up the strength that the system successfully resists attacks of the Grip. This complaint and othe: diseases are often preceded by that tired feeling, which Hood's taken in season ‘will soon overcome. SECOND, AFTER THE GRIP, Convalescence from any form of the Grip is very slow, and to regain the desired strength a good tonic is absolutely necessary. Words are not strong enough to express our confidence in HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA Asa tonic after attacks of the Grip, or after typhold fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, pneumonia or other prostrating diseases. Many testimonials from people ‘who have taken it conclusively prove that it possesses just the building-up effect #0 much needed; it vital- izes and enriches the thin and impoverished biood, ‘and it invigorates the liver and kidneys. HOOD’S PILLS are purely vegetable and are best liver invigorator and family cathartic. ‘the 3 ——— Trem Inca: Tromn SORATCH! SCRATCH!

Emperor William has removed the seques- tration which has existed on the property of the King of Hanover since 1866, and it was an- nounced in the Berlin Reichsanzeiger Satur- day. This announcement is followed by a let- ter from the Duke of Cumberland acknowledg- ing the empire and the emperor in the strongest possible terms, and declaring that he will dis- courage any enterprise dizected against the emperor or the Prussian state. By this renun- ciation the last protest against the kingdom created in 1856 is removed. ‘The approba- tion of the Ciuelph party to the settlement is assured, and elements for a long time estranged are once more harmonious in the empire. The Duke of Cumberland will re- ceive sixty millions in silver, the treasure of the King of Hanover, and the Chateau of Hel- deshuusen, constituting the - Guelph fund, formerly used by the Prussian government for secret service purposes.
