AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. Jerome Park—The Spring Racing Mecting— ‘The Horses Here Up to Last Night-Names, Colors, Ages, Pedigrees and Trainers. During the past week the horses of several impor- tant stables arrived at Jerome Park from various parts of the country, and now, with but few excep- tons, the list of those that will be present the coming Inceting of the American Jockey Club is almost com- piete. Among these tate arrivals are the strings of Belmont, numbering eight; Francis Morris’, three; M. H. Sanford’s, seven; Bowie & Hall’s, tour; Hunter & Travers’, four; Marcus A, Littell’s, two; T. R. Davis’, tive; R. W. Cameron’s, four; Mr. Lioyd’s, two, and Colonel McDaniels’, seven. The majority of them came in during the latter part of ‘the week, McDaniels’ lot arriving early yesterday morning. Although the track was very heavy some of the horses were exercised yesterday and some made to gallop smartly. It will be seen that the annexed list represents over one hundred horses, embracing some of the most valuable racers in the country. It has been made out with considerable care, including the name, color, age and pedigree of each horse present at the stables and their train- er’s name, 80 far as practicable to obtain the latter, up to late last night:— FRANCIS MORRIS?

The betting was brisk and the excitement intense. Over 4,000 persons were present, TR'P AROUND STATEN ISLAVD. At haif-past ten o'clock m the forenoon of Satur- day a party of gentlemen lett the Quarantine land- ing at Staten island tm several carriages and made atrp of something like twenty miles in quest of pic- turesque views and healthy dwelling locations. A short drive brought tne party to New Brighton, one of the loveliest places on Staten Island. The road from the first landing seems to be entirely up hill, and the traveller for awhile supposes he scending one of the gentle acclivities of the lower Swiss Alpine range. ‘The scenery on either hand is «delightful. in the extreme, embracing wood and rolling meadow, highly cuitivated lawns, and ali around the sparkling, biue-green sea interposing like a mirror between the shores of Jersey and Long Isiand. New Brigh- ton steals gradually upon the view like the chef Weuvre of a panoramic painting. The original of the name has not one-third its natural beauty. True there are no gleaming sands stretching far to the Jeft and right beneath dull, white cliffs of chalk, but then there are sweet smiling patches of meadow lawn and grand old trees that trench their roots npon the narrow beach and send their healthy, ver- dant branches, flowering over the roadside; and there are terraced drives all green and redolent in this month of flowers, crowned by curtous cottages with a thousand fantastic beauties surrounding them; rastic arbors, around which the crellised vine enwreatns itself in all its ieafy youth; old fashioned armchairs made from the hickory or veteran ash placed at intervais beneath wide spreading chestnut or elm trees; circular beds of lowering shrubs, which will very soon glow with the color and perfume of the hyacinth, tuberose, japonica, rhodendron and chrysanthum. As the visitors rolled down the bil- lowy imetine to the grand road of artificial construc- tion that winds around the westerly end of Staten Isiand the variety of views that broke upon their gaze were as bewildering as the, were beautiful. Awa in the distance the city of Newark, Snake iainnd, Elizabethpoct and an interminable succession of villas and farm residences broke upon the sight. A genile silvery haze overhung the whole and gave itthat dreamy character im appearance that so well befits a scene where seems the refuge of the spirit of repose. Wheeling around to the leiton this grand and elevated drive, solid as a marble floor, and over- looking the scencry of the Jersey shore for miles in- Jand, the carriages halted in front of Hamilton Park, one,of the most | creations on the island. The artistic eve and skilled taste of Mr. Hamilton saw in the peculiar formation of the ground at this end of the island the best kind of material for framing such & park as Wout not only be a place of public resort, but also a site for the erection of elegant private residences. The park is terraced from the road, and seems to have avout a score of vilia resi- dences of the favorite American style, which com- bines all the salient and attractive features of tne Gothic and modern Italian modes adapted to our pe- liar climate and of living. Snug Harbor, Which Our visitors reached next, is one of those places tamtliar to the American tourist in Rurope, as being, like one of those grand old tustitutions, founded by the benevolence of an immensely wealthy gentleman and met with very com- monly im the nemhhorhood of rich cities London and chester, it ix lors? home, properly speaking, nd if the old Jack tare cannot find delight and consolation under the umbrageous foliage of the large trees that surround the massive pile in which they find a shei- ter after their stormy experiences, then, indeed, there is no comfort for them this side of th Factoryville, Port Richmond, Fh ner’s Harbor were each visited in quick succession, and in none could the visitors find anything else than gratifying evidence of the cultivated growth of the isiand. Four Corners, Centreville, New Dorp, Vanderbilt's Landing, Clifton, Stapleton and Quar- antine terminated the trip for the day, whieh was certainly the inost enjoyable of the character that has been had for a long time, ENTERPRISE OF AN ASSOCIATED PRESS AGENT.

CLAPP, The Harvard University Crew—Whe They Are, Where They Come From—Their Weight, Size and Record—Their Standing ans Stadente—Method ef Training and Pre- parations for the Racee—Whem They Will Meet—Their Chances. BOSTON, May 28, 1896. As the interest in the coming inter-University races is constantly on the increase, not in these parts alone, but doubtless throughput the country, now that the time begins to draw near, you may care to know at some length as to who and what Rarvard’s chosen representatives are, what they are doing, whom they have to meet and their probable chances, The race, a8 you already kuow, is to be rowed “in outrigger boats, each boat to contain four rowers and a coxswain.” The Harvard crew, m all its races with Yale, have for the tast fifteen years uniformly contended in #ix-oared boats, without coxswains, though such an appendage was carried as late as 1859 by a Yale crew. ‘This change from a six toa four was made, in the present instance, for a double reason; first, because the six-oared shell is an exceedingly rare conch in England, and secondly, because the only kinds of ciub boats patronized by the Oxtord and Cambridge men being “eights” and “fours,” it was manifestly more easy for Harvard, with her 600 only to pick from, to secure four good men than eight, while Cambridge, with 2,500, and Oxford, with 2,000, could quite as readily obtain eight. ‘The organizations of the three elubs are nop unlike, the oMcers*of each being a president and captain. ‘The former performs the duties of the president, treasurer and secretary combined, while the captain bas the sole power of electing, placing in the boat in their respective positions and training the men. As much of the blame of a defeat: would attach to him 80 his share of the honors of a@ victory are, from his responsible position, correspondingly great. ta the present ‘four’ this office is held by ALDEN PORTER LORING, OF POSTON, Nearly twenty-five years old, but half an inch under six feet in height, tolerably straight, with black hair, mustache and goatee, you could teil by the keenness and power of his eye alone that he was a man of wire and endurance. And he is singularly so. Welghing, except in the very hottest weather, about 160 pounds, trained, he has the long, clean build of Josh Ward, rather than the short, stubbed make-up of Hamill. No Harvard oarsman ever had a more varied and thorough experience at his favorite exercise, he having been a very lively hand with the sculls In a twelve-ineh shell for some time before he came to college at all, nearly four years ago. His reach, too—a matter of importance, as each ineh on the are described by the handle of the oar is nearly as good as three outboard—tis very great; the distance from tip to tip of his longer fingers when his arms are extended at right angles from his side being nearly Sve inches greater than his height, But his forte is elegant rowing. Like a veteran gymnast on the trapeze, his work seems the easiest in the world until it is tried. I fancy that he would prefer to row a dozen miles on any pleasant day rather than to walk them. There is a snap and a kick about his rowing that never come wll after years of severe training. Look at the eye and the action of the famous horse Dexter, in the ordinary photographs or prints, and you will get some idea of the spirit that governs every such perfect piece of machinery. But you will find nothing sensual in the man’s face, strong intellect and determined will both standing out prominently, Four sach men, without acoxswain, might safely be matched against any four professionats in Europe. ‘fo carry his jnarter of the coxswain’s weight he is hardly so well fitted as the stroke oar of the crew, WILLIAM HAMMATT SIMMONS, OF CONCORD, MASS. While Loring pulled number five in the Harvard crew of 1866 and stroke in those of 1867 and 1863— the latter tne fastest amateur crew yet turned out in this country—Simmons was in the waist durmg the two latter years and of jate has shown himself the strongest man at an oar ever known in Cambridge. Of exactly Loring’s height and almost of bis reach, he looks a coupie sizes larger and is manifestly blocked out for hard work. Free from dissipation of any sort, he has an exceedingly well shaped face, while physically a correspondent of one of our iead- ing dailies described him Jast year as far the hand- somest man he ever saw. He is but twenty years of age, has chestnut hair and a beardiess chin. His rowing is almost a fac simile of Loring’s, having pulled together so long, winle bis great strength renders it diMcnit to procure for him an oar which he does not soon ind a weak spot in, having smashed six in 1867 before he was suited, and then the bow oarsman was heard requesting hun vo “pull ) while rounding the stake at; Worcer- ter—a favor seldom asked, by the way. If the two men between him and Loring had had the experi- ence of the two latter, few peopie need fret them- seives at the result of the coming sirnggie. Of these the older is SYLVESTER WARREN RICE, OF ROSEBURG, OREGON, betng the patriarch of the crew, having already scored twenty-six years. Strange though agreeable to say, he too does not vary an eighth of an inch from his bow or stroke oarsman in height, while for weight he is midway between 4he two, Simmons scaling 173 or 174 pounds when tn fine condition, while Rice reaches about 166. He has the medium arm of Loring rather than the ponderous one of Simmons, and looks rather spare in the covering of his upper works, though his chest is round and ca- pacious. He is not unwieldy or clumsy in his movements, but a sinewy, active, handy fellow, and one who takes to his work most kindly. His back, while at work, is one of the straightest in the boat, and he lies out over bis oar when forward in very fine style. There is an apparent ‘“‘clip” at the begin- ning of bis stroke, though it is plainly becoming less so, and Loring will undoubtedly eradicate it within ashort time, The least noticeable man of the four for strength when in his clothes—he 4 almost a “heavy weight’’—though he has lived in Oregon since 1853, he is a native of lilinois. So that Massa- usetis and Lilinois furnish ali the men—Messrs. mmons, Loring and Fay hailing from tne former, while Rice, Bass and Willard can claim the delicate soubriquet of “Suckers.” GRORGE BASS, OF CHICAGO, TLL, will probably pull the starboard waist oar, next to bow, About five feet ten and # haif inches high, though a slouch in his walk makes him look jess, he is nearly twenty-four years old and a very strongly made man. Both he and Rice have pulled in four races, and he has always been found a plucky, determined pulier, tle “form” is the most open to objection of any in the crew, pulling with a round back, and with, per- haps, a trifle too short reach forward. But the “grit” of the man stands out prominently, not les ‘so in his face itself than in every undertaking he eu- gages in, rowing an oar included, and from being a very strong, long «listance runder, tis wind is found equal to almost apy pace his muscles can stand, He ig mueh more muscular m Ms back ana arms than Mr. Rice, though the latter's thighs are the largest in the boat. Simmons and Bass ave really poweriul men; the others, though very strong, can hardly have as much said of them. Here, then, is a crew averaging between twenty- three and twenty-four years in are, 165 oF 164 pounds at the time of the race in weight, two of whom have puiled a score of races between them, have had four years’ experience, and three years of those at least in the ular stroke now practised by them—a most beautiful as well ax effective one, too— and the others have about completed their second year of rowing, who are remarkably well matched in height and reach, and who undoubtedly include within their number the two best oarsmen Harvard ever had. They outweigh the Oxtord men man for man, except Rice, whose companion, Tinné, being very heavy, takes the average of lils crew up to just one pound more than the Harvards, a difference of no real importance, It has been claimed that the English oarsiwen, though perhaps not more muscular than ours, have yet mauaged (0 develop more endurance, move stay- ing wer, by heir superior method of training. But the Harvard crew are not men of gnaried aut right muscles, such ax the raising of immense dum)- bells and other weights produce—tn fact, haveno one among them claiming any ability or skill as a@ gymnast or dumb-bel) holster, ‘Thetr aim has for Years been “hottom,” st; and the Wards can testity how wi ve succeeded im attaine ing them, T quite forgot to say that they are generally good Scholars, a8 well as rowers, one of them, Mr. Rice, standiog 15 on year’s work, out of a class of about 150. Simmons and Loving are seniors, avout ready to gradnate, and Rice and Bass sophomores, or second year men. The London Rowing Club did a thing every Bog- lishiean tay well be proud of when they sent the challenge which | telegraphed you tii morning. ‘There is nothing had about that ducument—a chal- Jenge to any kind of a race, eight (we must except our favorite, six), four, pair onred or single scull, from the champion amateurs of Europe, as tie record they transmit shows, Though their idea seems to be that Harvard wished to contend for the ampionship of the world, instead of meeting the English stadents only, #till there ia auch a liberal, vroad spirit breathing thro it will be diMeult for our 1 tO RAY lish hospitality, 100, is of a plece with our Hea! as their letter plainly shows, as they offer not the free use of all their rooms, boats, boathe &e., but constitute the Harvard crew honorary members of their club, Surely Harvard will not need to stay at home lor lack of friends, Two Boys Kit.go By A PANtHER.—A man living in Taney county.

The grief and horror stricken parent raised his gun to hia shoulder, and faking good aim, fired and killed the ferocious beast. After searching @ mile or so more the mutila- ted remains of the other boy were also found.

One isthe preambie to Mr. Lincoln’s pro- clamation, which recites in substance that, whereas the Confed erates are about arming privateers and verge ) Jetters of marque against our comme! that therefore tls proclamation of blockade 1s issued , tw shut up thelr ports and render it Impossible for them to do misciuief, “This would seem to allow to the Confederates bel- ligerent rights on the ocean, because otherwise the roclamation against them should have been against m as pirates. “But we are still more serionsiy compromised in this question by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Moran against the Equitable irance Company, which was a suit brought to recover a policy of msurance which as- sured against lawful capture, but not against pirati- cal capture. “The vess@ for the taking of which this suit was brought was on the Mississippi river, and a party of Confederates boarded it and captured it, alleging it to bea prize of war to the Confederate States, The msurance company resisted the payment of the loss on the ground that this was not lawful capture, be- cause the Confederates had no belligerent mghis on the water. “The assured set up the plea that the prociama- tion of a blockade gave the Confederates belligerent rights, and General Cushing argued that the blockade was a pacific blockaae, and recognized no such rights im the Confederates—taking precisely the ground that Mr. Sumner does in his speech as to the effect of the blockade in thas regard.” “How did the Court decide?’ I inquired. THE SUPREME COURT AGAINST SUMNER'S THEORY. “Toe Court held that the Confederates had such hetligerens rights as to make this a lawful capture, which of course could not be, unless tne Confeder- ates had’ belligerent rights on the ocean—thus over- raiing General Cushing’ ment’? “What was the dute of this capture—before or after the Queen's proclamation?" “It was on the Sth of May, 1861, if I recollect right,” he said; “eleven days before the proclama- tion of the British Queen; so that we are concluded upon this question as far as the decision of the ene Court is concerned—on the question of belligerency on the ocean—a fact that the English lawyers will not be slow to take advantage of if we pe our case solely upon the question whether ngland was in too great haste.” OUR RECOGNITION OF BELLIGRRENT RIGHTS. «‘How soon were belligerent rights recognized by our government on the land?” “The first exchange,” said General Butler, -‘was made on the 10th day of June, at Fortress Monroe. ay eunhanee: recognized them as belligerents oa the land, “Didn't Seward practically recognize them as bel- ligerents before that?” | asked. “Seward,” he answered, “had recognized them ag belligerents only by the proclamation of biockade, and, afterwards, when some of them were seized as pirates for captures made on the high seas and were to be tried, the cases were stayed by order of the gov- ernment.” “When was this, General?” “About the time of the Queen’s proclamation.” “—— told me that Chief Justice Chase said that we could not stand five minutes before any court in Europe on the legal positions of Sumner’s speech. What do you think about it?” “of course that must be so, because we are estopped from pushing the argument vy the judg- ment of our Supreme Court.” GENERAL BUTLER’S POSITION. “What is your ition, then? | inquired, “L msist still,” sala the General, ‘that the safer proposition to put our case upon is that the whole action of EngjJand was part of her policy and in con- sequence of her desire to break down this govern- ment.” “By England you mean the Englishment govern- ment? The people, except the ruling classes, were surely friendly enough?’ “] mean the government, of course. Engiand had two theories—one was to establish a Northern Con- federacy to curb us in the North, and to establish a Southern Confederacy, which contd curb us in the South, and thus control the trade of the Continent.” “Was it not true,” I asked, “that at one period of the war France pro) 1 to England to recognize the Southern Coniederacy? And don’t you remem- ber the statement that, at that ume, Russia had de- clared her willingness to do so if England could be induced to joiny” “1 don’t understand,” repiied Mr. Butler, “that Russia ever consented to have anything vo do with it. Spain was, but not Russia, Mussa and Turkey were the two governments—and they were the onty two—that we have had no trouble abou,” "HE ACTION OF FRANCE. “Howdo you account for the fact that France, which was in earnest in her desire to have the con- federacy recognized, hax been aliowed to escape de- uunciation, wl England, which refused to follow her advice, has been so universally anathematized?"” “For the same reason,’ said Butler, “that although @ man might intend to murder, if he never did the act itseif, you could neither punish nor hold tim liable for damages; you could do nothing but bind him over to kee the peace, The aliference was that Engian did the acts—-France taking great care to allow nothing to be done on her part or on ber behalf which would involve her in any controversy with this country. Perhaps her reason was, that until she could get the support of England, being com- plicated in the affaira of Mexico, she was altogether two vulnerable.” Butler's financial theory of a war with it had been reported by Washington T asked what he had really said abo war with England. He replied:— “f have said, in priv not tiat there would be any com war with England, bus thatif a war broke out the result would be beneficial to this country. “How?” | inquired . « We have imported one hundred and twenty-one millions from the Ist of January to the ist of May, this year, and exported only sixty millions—our bonds not only going out to pay for the balance from these iinports, but the gold with which the debt is paid is also borrowed ou our bonds at eighty cents on the dollar. England buys Ually nothing of us im comparison with what she sends to us. Now, | only proposed to treat. her a* a nation, a8 one individual treats an unkind neighvor who has injured him. He simpiy I shall have nothing to do with yon, either socially or in the way of business; and that, irrespective of the question as to whether his neighbor had the legai right to injure him, or did something ‘illegally for which sutt should be brought. Most pradent persons preter to refuse ali imtercourse. Now, 1 think the United States should treat England in the same way. ‘That was what we did in 1908,” HOW IT MIGHT PAY. “With what result?" vith a good result to the country,” said Mr. Bat- ‘for It was the very beginning of the estabiish- of our manufactures, Up to that time we had substamially none. True, a war came on Decause of tbe clatn of the right of search aud the imprison- ment of our sailors. And | should think that the writer in the Krening Post, of which you speak, was simply re-echoing ove of the federalist tirades against Jefferson for what they were pleased to term Jim Madison’s blockade"? 5 bat ave you said about declaring War against nglan “Nothing.” answered the Geueral. ‘There is no occasion to declare war against England. I simply said NON-INBRRCOURSE, but that, in cose of war, what we shall save im im- portation and make by capture would be quite equivalent to the expense of what would be substan- tiatly naval warfare.” MOW BUTLER WOULD ARGUB AGAINST ENGLAND. neral, you have not quite clearly staed (argue the case against England.

I inte *ewhiel you ke of in case of eS rer By ou include the Dominion of Canada and the maritime provinces 1? “Of course,” sald the General, “they would be captured at once, but whether they would be profit- able things to keep would depend on circumstances. We should certainly save the expense of keeping uw) @ line of custom houses which, along a frontier, wit! their indentions, is 6,000 miies in length. “Do you think,” lasked, “as you may have a chance to know at Washington, that there is any general feeling in the Provinces for annexation ?”” “Among the peopie, yes,” rejoined Mr. Butler; “among the Cgneeire who desire the honors of knighthood and patents of nobility at Ottawa, no.’? “What are the chances of renewing the reciprocity treaty 7’ J asked, “None whatever, I trust,” he said, in his most de- cisive tones. “Why?” “Because, in the first place, 1 don’t purpose that this country shall give to Canada all the advantages of marriage till the rites are performed,”* “That, certainly, is a legitimate objection.” “Again,” said the General, ‘in the last reciprocity we were not fairly treated by Canada. There was nO provision in it that they should not raise their duties, and a8 soon as they had bound us fairly they commenced raising the duties on our manufactures and giving preference to the English, which wept almost to exclude oura, while we were taking her wheat, cattle and lumber to the great disadvantage of the agricultural and lumber interests of the coun- try. True, we did get coal somewhat cheaper m Nova Scotia, but as that is only a dollar and aquarter per ton duty it is hardly worth while to injure so many interests as we shoud do for the simpie matter of coal. “The great matter to be gained by this country from the annexation of the Previnces is the facilities It could give us for building wooden ships and ves- seis; but that 13 day by day growing less, pecause the day of wooden ships is passing away. Even the best yachts are now being made from tron.’* “Phere is nothing that the Provinces desire so much,” Lgaid, ‘both in Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward Isiand, 1 know, a8 @ renewal of the reciprocity Ly. Mr. Butler added, “The necessity of reciprocity to Canada is fully appreciated in England, and to force us to it I understand they have refused to allow Prince Edward Isiand to make any reciprocal laws with this country on the subject of duties unless the same shall be accorded to ali the rest of the Pro- vinces; tius for the first time interfering with the fae of tne colonies since the date of the Kevo- ution. “What is likely to be done at Washington about the trade with the Provinces!” 1 asked. “Everything,” he said, “will go on as it tk, exept, possibly, an attempt to get the free navigation of the St. Lawrence.” BOUTWELL’S POLICY. You have been at Washington lately; w! do you think of Mr. Boutwell’s policy? It seems to me that your friend Grant did not succeed in ing out his policy of running the government out the aid of the politicians; tt does look at this dis- tance a8 if he had unconditionaily surrendered to them. Will Mr. Boutwell do the same to the Wall street, proper “If,” said General Butler, ‘I know anything of the Secretary, and }’ve had an intimate knowledge of the man for thirty years, I cau say safely that if the Wall street people think they can change him in any policy he has taken and about which he has thor- ol infornjed himself and made up a deliberate judgment, they are very much mistaken, or I am. “L know I approve very much of what appears to be his policy—to sell the surplus gold in the Treasury and buy with it the bonds of the United States that bear the largest interest. “[ see a report, which must come from the bears of Wall street, that he proposes to ouy three per cent certificates. That would be to inaugurate a policy of contracuon, because these are in the banks asthe re- serve, Which was exactly the policy which Congress forbid the Secretary to carry out. 1 can hardly con- ceive that the Secretary would be likely to buy up the three per cent indebiment when he cau get the six, aud save government the difference in mterest. And, indeed, by his Saree, the bonds would show to the contrary. Because, if he desired to inaugurate con- traction, he has only to sell gold and hoard the cur- peived for it, and then the contraction would cc. He evntently means w pursue a policy by which the Treasury should not interfere with the business of the couniry. He proposes openly, and with the knowledge of all, to carry on his busimess in the interests of the Treasury itse’f, and let the siness of the country without his interference.” just liself to its own wants the inost copy trom my notes, taken down word 1or word as the General spoke. For what follows I rely on memory. He showed me, atmy request, the manuscript of his speech to be delivered on Decoration Day at Giouces- ter. It was chiefly a warm enlogy of the soldiers of tne Union who perished tn defending it against the attempts of traitors to destroy it. But it contains no word of auger against them. Yet, what it omits in this yt it more than supplies by one of the most terrible denunciations of England that has ever been uttered on this Continent since the war began: at least 1 thought so, as, with his ieg thrown over the back of his chair and a cigar in his right hand, he read this illegible portion of the manu- script im as quiet and unconcerved a tone as if (to use the idea of Mr. Goldwin Smith) he were denounc- ing @ dead and buried nation instead of pouring red- hot fa eptsiies the — eo ee os living and rou ited people. things this, we now, must be, after a famous victory,” especially when the in whose behalf the holiest national traditions have been violated has been crushed into the cust, with all its venomous hopes defeated.

Robinson, charged with the McConnell murder, was opened at Jacksonville, Ili., on the morning of the 27th, at eight o'clock. THE COURT ROOM CROWDED. ‘The fact that the testimony—and consequent rea! interest of the investigation—had commenced, at- tracted a very large number of persons to the ball, and the whole proceeat of the session were watched with the most marked attention. THE PRISONER maintains the same interested yet com de- meanor that has characterized him all along. thongn ; ally he irs to be momentarily bothered by some drag or delay in the case, and his light bine eyes will move restiesiy around the hall until the rough piaces in the evidence are smooth and he can again devote his attention to the proceed- ings. A REQUEST CONCERNING WITNESSES. Upon the coming in of the court Mr. Ketchum, of the counsel for the people, asked that the order ex- cluding witnesses from the court room be not en- forced #0 far as the family of the deceased are con- concerned. Jndge Shaw, of prisoner's counsel, declined to ac- cede to the proposition. TRSTIMONY OF MARY KYAN.

Boston, May 30, 1869. Late yesterday afternoon an impromptu prize fight took place at the North End, between a couple of pugilists named Stephen Williams and George Marsh, better known as “‘Croppy.” The details were arranged in an informal manner, the match having been made in consequence of a discussion relative to their respective merits as bruisers. The stake was $100 a side, and the ground selected was a secluded yard, surroundea by a high fence, situated a® the rear of a liquor saloon belonging to Wm. Taylor—and formerly known as a piace of re- sort for notorious characters—kept by Tom Grew, on Portland street, below Sudbury. The spectators numbered about fifty persons, and the men, after divesting themselves of all garments except shirt and pautaioons, “sailed” into the conflict. No formalities were indulged in and no stakes or ropes were secured with which to follow out the prescribed rules of the prize ring, but the spet se- lected was an admirable one for such a mill as this proved to be, the space afforded being just about as large as was desired. ‘The men faced each other and at once commenced work by the infliction of several blows and counters, which soon showed their effects upon each of the combatanta. The sparring Was not very scientific, to say the least, and blow after blow was putin with tremendous force and damaging effect. Williams received a rap upon the mouth at an early siage of the mill, and his lips soon puffed out as though they had gone througn the process of inflation. He bad the satisfaction shortiy afterwards of getting ina powerful biow on one of Croppy’s orbs and the peeper commenced to close rapid le The rounds followed tn nd succession, and the bruisers gave and took their punishment like old rs of the twenty-four foot arena. The faces of th men were distigured greatly after twenty minutes of fisticuifing, and their visual organs were becoming rebellious and refusing to perform duty. | The exertion was gradually having its effect upon the men, and although the blows were weaker as time advanced they were more juent, and the frontispiece of each combatant after half an hour’s battering was frightfully disfigured.
