Joe Coburn, the pugilist, has again brought himself into notice, not, however, by the pursuit of his regu- lar vocation, but in a style hardly included in the rules of the ring. It appears that Coburn and his wife resided at Swift's hotel, corner of Eighth street and Broadway. Shortly before daybreak yesterday morning, as officer Quinn, of the Fifteenth precinct, ‘was on duty in the vicinity of the hotel, he found a wo- man staggering along and bieeding. On being ques- tioned she stated that she had been shot in the back by ner husband, Joe Coburn. She was immediately conveyed to the Fi mth precinct, where the ball was extracted from the shoulder vy Police Surgeon Freligh, who founda it about eight inches below the piace where it had entered. Coburn was soon after arrested and heid until about eight o’clock when he was taken to the Central Outice for the purpose of identification, and. subse- quently to Jefferson Market Police Court, On being arraigned before Judge Fowler the prisoner state that the shooting was purely accidental; that he came home about three o’clock In the morning some- What muddied, and that throwing his coat carelessly on a@ chair the revolver, which was im an inside pocket, exploded, the ball entering his wife’s shoulder. The prisoner stated that nis wife did not wish to prosecute, which being afterwards as- certalned to be a fact the Justice ordered his dis- charge.

STEAMER. 1 A MISSING The Sylvan Shore Disappears Coast in a Gale. {From the Savannah Republican, Nov. 6.) Some days ago Captain Tucker, who 3s well Known in this cify a’ having been in command of the steamer Sylvan Shore shortly after the war, and an experienced seaman, leit Fernandina, Fia., with a steamer which he had recently pur- chased at the North for Tampa, for the pur- ose of carrying the mails between that place and Manatee, Smyrna and other landings along the Guif coast. After proceeding as far as Musquito Inlet | the engineer in charge of the steamer made an ex- amination of the machinery and vessel, and pro- nouncing her unseaworthy refused to proceed tur- ther with her. We also learn that the engineer who brought the vessel out frum New York reiused to go to sea in her and also pronounced her unseaworthy, ‘The engineer was put ashore at the inict, when the steamer put out to sea. The keeper of the light- house saw the vessel outside and at anchor that evening, and she appeared to be dragging anchor and the water breaking over her, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of the steamer. Besides the crew, Captain Tucker, his wife and daughters, and Mr. John Clay and Miss Gris- wold, of Fernandina, were on board, As there was a terrific gale prevailing at tae time (the one that caused so much damage to shipping on the coast), and as there has been plenty of time for the steamer to make some port, it 19 feared that she has gone down with all on board. ‘There 1s great anxiety felt in Fernandina for the safety of these on board of ‘the missing vessel. We sincerely hope that some tidings may be heard of her safe arrival, but if the report of her unseaworthiness 18 correct we fear that she has met the fate of the Varuna and other vessels on that coast. <1 Value of twenty-five or fifty cents, but of | Of the Florida | PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS. Trotting Match Be!ween George Palmer and American Girl to Wagons—Three Heats and a Postponement Until To-Day. A trotting match for $1,000, mile heats, best three in five, to wagons, between Mr, Corning’s brown gelding George Palmer and Mr. Lovell’s bay mare American Girl, was begun yesterday afternoon, at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds; but after three heats had been trotted the track became 80 obscured by dark clouds and pelting rain that the judges postponed the affair until this afternoon atthree o'clock. George Palmer had won two heats and American Giri one heat When operations were brought: toa close. ‘The race was started at too late an hour—three o'clock—to complete it In case the heats were split, and, as that contingency happened, the race bad to bo post- poned, No race can be began at this season of the year Jater than two o'clock with any certainty of com- pletion, and we hope the races will be so arranged in future that postponements will be avoided, ‘The attendance was not very large, but the bal- conies of the club house presented a fine picture of female beauty. Among the gentlemen present we noticed the following prominent turfmen:—Dr. Wel- don, R. Fletcher, W. H. Parks, Simeon Hoagland, Willlam Hynard, J. Weaver, George Gordon, Mr. Littell, Mr. Alwine, Felix Campbell, Josiah Smith, George Perrin, Mr. Deforest, Mr. Hunt, D. Gould, William Barry, Mr. Brown, Nath. Weeks, R. Robin- son, G.

Truesdetl, R. ©, Layton, G. Mumby and a number of others, who were there In anucipauion of witnessing another close and protracted race between these two so well matched first class trotters, Before the race began American Girl was the favorite, in many instances, at two to one; but when the horses began scoring the betting became more even, and at the start George Palmer was selling for nearly as much as the mare, He won the first heat, and became @ favorite at short odds; but when he had won the second heat he soid the favorite at four to one. «American Girl won the third heat, aud this brought the betting nearly level again. A terrific rm then set in and the race was postponed. ‘There i large amount of money pending on the result, and should the rain cease before sunrise this morn- ing the track will be in a fair condition for the race, as the soil of this track dries quicker than any other in the country. ‘the judges, in postponing the trot, stated that “This race is postponed until three o’clock to-mor- Tow aiternoon; good day and good track.” They have nothing to do with good day or good track, as a race, when once begun, must be concluded, without regard to weather. The rule SorcEate this case reads:—“No heat shall be trotted when 1t is 0 dark that the horses cannot be plainly seen by the judges from the stand, but all such races shall be continued by the judges to the next day, omitting Sunday, at such hour ag they may designate. Therefore the trot must be finished this afternoon ‘unless otherwise especially agreed upon between the owners of the horses and the association, ‘The following are the detalls of the race, as far as it progressed:— RACE.

Third Heat,—The start was @ very even one, and they trotted head and head areund the turn. American Girl then broke up and lost two lengths; but she, after a very long run, soon shat up the gap and was at Palmer’s wheel as he passed the quarter pole, in thirty-six and a quarter seconds. Goin dowu the backstretch the mare broke up again an stayed up some seconds, although her driver seemed to be doing his pest to get her down. When she recovered there was a length of day- light between her and Palmer. American Girl trotted very fast when she recovered, and atthe half-mile pole, which Palmer passed in 1:13, she was very close to ils wheel. The mare outtrotted Palmer along the lower end of the track, and at the three-quarter pole was one length ahead of him in 1:50, From there to the end both horses troited steadily, and the mare won the heat by hair a@ length in 2:27. Rain had fatlen between the second and third heats, and the track had become somewhat neavy.
