10 ener ta = oo es ee « LECTURES LAST NIGHT. THE AGE OF DRAGUINS. Dr. Boyntows Lerivre mt the Cooper Enstitutes ‘The fifth of the Cooper Institute series of lec- tures was delivered last night by Dr. J. F. Boyn- ton. Before the appearance of the Doctor it was announced that his last Sunday’s lecture would be in substance repeated to-night. Monday will be the last of the present series, but under the provisions of the trast deed arrangements had been made for a sec- ond series. Next Saturday Dr. Boynton will give a matinee for ladies and emidren exclusively, to which the tickets for this course will be available. Yhe doors will open at one P. M. and close at two, or earlier if the hall is filled, In the evening of that day a lecture or exhibition, being in sabstance a reproduction of the Paris Exposition will be given, to which no tickets would be required, @urer lectures were announced for the 2d of January, ‘with & promise of others on succeeding Saturdays. Dr. Boynton on his appearance was received by the audience as an old friend and with applause. Referriug back to his previous lectures, he said they had now arrived at what were called secondary for- mations. They had seen the primitive and traasi- ‘tional rocks, which lay under the others, protecting ‘thei from the central beat. They had found the traces of life in the Silurian and Devonian systems, and they lad also seen the carbonaceous system, These secondary rocks were sedementary and had been deposited on top of the carbonaceous system and were, therefore, subsequent to it, Before this they had found but animais living in the waters, fish among the vertibrates, but with gills, crustacea, moliusks and radiata, Now they have arrived at the perioa when reptiles appeared verlibrates, intended w live on the surface, and so bad lunge. These, however, were cold biooded, though breathing air, A few words should be first said as to the mineral- ogical character of the deposits of this period, ‘The Tod sandstones of which our houses were built be- longed to this period, though neither to the very first nor to the very jast. The coarse sandstones of New York belonged to a later period of art. It was @ period of very great voicanic§ disturb- ance. In many places great depressions seem to have been formed. in these depressions masses of clay, the washings of -rivs had accumu- lared and ultimately been solidified by the inflitra- tion of saits of iron and sometimes of lime. Now, Srst they came upon the tracks of animals. in set- tiing the sand and clay were often separated, the Clay being cartied farther, as more thoroughly dis- solved by a light cement. ‘The matter for these de- pxitions came down in the overflow of rivérs on heir flood bottoms, Creatures w on this fine, tough, micaceous mud left thelr tracks upon it. ‘There sho oe srved such tracks where ten steps had been taken oy the creature to the inch. Again, there were bird like tracks, were In one instance the track was twenty-two inches long and the strides as long as fonr or tive feet. Ali these impressions were imprinted on the clay and preserved by its hardening. These forma- tions were many thousand feet in thickness, and from age to age through these mdetinite periods: these tracks varied greatly, Some of these creatures were frog-like in form, but as large in size us an ox. Other reptillans Were as large as two elephants. In- deed some of the thigh bones discovered were so large that if divided tn four or eight they would be enough for x fair elephant. Some seemed to bava ‘been created as a trial what weight could be placed on bones without crushing them. Tuough of course the Creator made no mere experiments. When coming from the realm of fishes to that of true reptiles they found, as in the natural history of existing animals, an intermediate class. This clase was that of the batraichans—toads, frogs, newis, sirens apd salamanders. Sometiines now alter a flood some of these amtnals were washed out of the great limestone foundations of Central New York, and were picked up far from their native habitation, with both gills and luo; ‘They were all haiched from eggs, a3 was the chicken, but, unlike the chicken, did not come forth perfect, but in a tadpole siate; their womb was the water, the ovean their embryonic fluid.

It was difficult in view of this for the microscopist to draw the line of division. Batractrians are the most interesting class of animals. A series of investigations were now being conducted concerning them, by some as supporting, ‘by otners as opposing the Darwinian theory. It ecemed to him of littie difference what theory might be esiablished., The facts of the Almighty could not contradict him. There was a ullar Oppor- tunity in the stady of this class, Their vodies were not Geveloped at once, but portions ata time. They had at an early stage a tail like an alligator aud g lis, Some species retalued these to the end; in olners they were absorbed as the new organs were developed. These were developed in different order in dierent species—sometimes the fore legs first, sometimes the hind. In Gie frogs and toads they commenced in a tadpole state, then the feet were put out two ata time, the tail and gills were ab- sorbed, an augie of forty-five degrees was assumed, the hind feet were webbed for swimming, the elbows were spread out so as to make spring and prevent concussion from their leaps. He was changed from a herbivor- ous toa carnivorous animal. Man passed in his embryonic period through all these changes as far as Concerned the nervous system; but he went be- ond until ultimately he had a brain weighing thir- ly-two times the whole spinal cord. He rose to a veruval position, with the powers which enabled him to seek inventions to free himself from tne tes of instinct and investigate the laws of his being. lt was strange about the batrachians that some- tines the reproductive organs became perfect and they produced offspring while in the embryonic state. The question was, would these offspring re- main in the embryonic state or go on to eriection, If the forme) went far {0 esi abllsh the transmutation of species bu’ he believed that nature sought to restore to per- fe uon.

Fight in Indinua for $1,000 Between Fred Bussy and Tom McAlpine—The Latter De- elared the Winner by Reason of a Foul Blow—Sevyenty-five Rounds Fought in One Hour and Fifteen Minutes. [From the Chicago ‘Times, Dec. 18.) Tom McAlpine and Fred Bussy engaged 1a a prize fight yesterday near Lansing station, in the State of Indiana. After @ iong and ind it contest, in which Busay plainly proved his superiority, the fight was awarded to McAipine because of a foul blow re- ceived by him in the seventeenth round. Fred eng is about thirty years of age. He was born in Irelan His occupation is that of asaloon keeper. Tom McAl ine, although much younger than gent has had far more ring experieice. About nine o'clock Lans- ing was reached, and about a mile beyond the train stopped, and the “irregular” debarked i the midst of an open prai At half-past ten McAlpine shied his castor into the ring, and in a few moments he was followed by Bussy. both were the recipients of an ovation from their respective friends, THE FIGHT, Rornp 1.—The appearance of the men in the rin; created the wildest excitement. As they stripped off {for the contert the contrast was striking, Bussy looking like a giant of strengih and health, while McAlpine, in comparison, seemed insignificant as an infant.

Withont spot or blemish upon his body, with the thick neck and bullet head which are proverbially characteristic of the heroes of the prize ring, with an eye that denoted con- fidence and an expression of countenance that bespoke victory, Fred Bussy stood up in th flid annonhced himself as ready for the Was anvtah bus a?

This muscies were well develo} in all other respects he was a picture of emaciation and premature deca: His step lacked t acuelty of his brother pugilist, and the confidence of his friends was perceptibly shaken as he stripped and expoved the deformities witch had been brought npon him by his habits of dissipation, The two men advanced and grasped each other cordially by the hand, a% a preliminary of the battie ‘that was to follow. “Are you ready?’ came from the lips of the referee, and the excitiog word } time |? was called. Bussy jumped from the knee of | Bd. Burns with the bound of a tiger about to spring upon his prey, and McAipin leisurely arose from Jerry Donovan's lap and advanced to meet hi | unequal antagouist. Potiiog up their hands, after the usual manner of the devotees of the nuniy art, the two men eyed each other for a moment, and then commenced the sparring movements which precede active hostilities, A moment more and the battie had commenced. A few harmless exchanges took place, followed by a clinch, with heavy body blows, each receiving abont an equal share of punishment, and McAlpine went down to avoid harm, Pred roll- ing over hit like a log and gaining no advantage by the fail.

In several of these Buesy threw Tom and fell his whole weight upon him, o0- castonally varying the programme by throwing him across the ropes and holding hii there until his seconds carried him away. Bets of three to one on Bussy went ig, and it was a foregone conclusion that McAlpine was a badly whipped man. Fred received no punishment what ever, while Tom's face and body presented a horri- ble appearance. His only object seemed to ve to win the fight by a ‘foul,’ and to that end he per- severed with a fidelity which eventually was re warded by success. 4 Rovunp 39.—Alter sparring, in an attempt to clinch, Bussy slipped and fell, aud McAlpine took advan- tage of the circumstance to tumble upon him, with- out, however, doing the least particle of harm except to himself, ‘ Rownps 40 To 74,.—The fight was entirely devoid of interest during these rounds, as far as the result was concerned, Now and then & blow was got in, but the roar part ended in McAlpine’s drop- ping to his knees. On several occasions, however, fred followed him up so rapidly that he fell over the ropes, and once or twice the referee admonished him that he must abstain from that sort of tighting. In the fifty-fourth round Bussy raised Tom clear off his pins, and giving him a bear- like hug actually lifted him up and kissed’ him. This demonstration was received with roars of laughter and great cheering. In the fifty-ninth round McA\- pine seized hold of a stake, while Fred had one arm around him, and not knowing what to do, coolly turned around and inquired of the refe: “What in h—li shailI do with this man?’ Mack then let go his hold of the stake and slipped down. As ronad followed fround Tom gradually weakened, but dis- displayed remarkable pluck, and there were none who did not accord to him the merit of being a “game” man. His only hope was to secure a ‘foul’ on Fred, and with this idea his umpire, Joe Parrish, me in claims at the end of nearly every round, when here was not the slightest ground for doing so. ROUND 75 AND Last.—When time was called McAl- pine staggered forward like a drunken man and put up his hands, but he was completely at the mercy of his opponent, and was hardly able to ward off the slightest blow, and Bussy got ina body blow and Mac dropped to his knees, .and just as he reached the ground Fred gave hima slight tap on the mght check, ‘The claim of foul was made, and Dick Holll- wood, the referee, advanced and declared Tom McAlpine the winner of the fight, The crowd then rushed forward, and a scene of the wildest excite- ment ensued, the friends of Bussy claiming that Tom was not down when the blow was struck, and the friends of the latter equally vociferous in their as- sertions that the decision was correct, The high words, however, did not lead to blows, a3 was feared, and the excitement soon subsided. The party then quietly wended its way to the depot, awaited the arrival of the afternoon train, jumped aboard and was steamed into the city, arriv- ing at the depot at three o’clock, weary, hungry, thirsty, and heartily sick of prize fights in the snow between men s0 unevenly matched as Fred Bussy and Tom McAlpine. The decision of the referee was without question correct, according to the rules of the prize ring, but there were many who thought it unjust under the circumstances, and who censured Dick Holliweod for deciding the fight in favor of Mc- Alpine when he was on the verge of throwing up the spong in token of defeat. The last blow of Buss) ptm cms eae by all to have been purely acc! jental, and those who bet against him gave him the credit of conducting himself throughout in a “square” manner. A collection was taken up on the incoming train by McAlpine for the Benetit of Bussy, the amount realized being $115, Prize Ring Notes. The past week has not furnished any fresh topic of discussion among the fistic fraternity. The ap- proaching contest between Hicken and Maguire for the light weight championship and $2,000 is, of course, the great event to come; and in a few days one of the most determined and well contested bat- ties ever fought in this country will have been de- clded. The rigorous training which the men have up to the present time undergone is at least indica- tive of sincerity; and if the arrangement be con- ducted with even ordinary care and foresight the affair will, most likely, be successfully settled. A repetition of the Wormald-O’Raldwin humbug will ut a final stop to all future contests and drag the ‘raternity generally into contempt.
