: * la a ial 10 CHAMPION COCK FIGHT. ‘Exciting Contest Between New York and Albany. Wifteen Battles for $200 Each and $2,000 the , Main—Splendid Birds and Splendid Fighting— $20,000 Changing Hands—Albany Ahead. “Tt will be the biggest main of the season |? “And for a good deal of money !"’ “You can bet; $200 a fight and $2,000 the oda baste."” “Who's doing all this?" “Them Fifth avenue chaps in New York and the ‘big uns of Albany.” ‘This was the substance of an entertaining conver- Sation on @ Jersey ferryboat yesterday, as a HERALD Feporter was journeying to the scene of the in- *ended and long talked of championship cock fight between New York and Albany there set down for settlement. And the one who ventured the infor- mation was right, It was the biggest of the season and such as seldom witnessed in every particular mn the Northern States. The excitement over this trouble brought from ‘thelr banking and brokers’ ofiices, from their stores @nd@ places of business in Gotham, and their homes 4p distant cities, many men of note and respecta- ‘Dility, and many whose faces are better Known in CBURCHES AND OPERAS than where the notes of the rowdy rooster is the only music heard, But this was an unusual occa- aion, 60 the story runs, and put on the carpet by those who, though they never heard him, probably, are like Themistecies, a Grecian swell, an ancient young fellow, who the credit of introducing cockfigpting as a He loved deeds of valor; but whether cared for greenbacks is not on record. He once stopped the army of the Greeks to witness a combat between two cocks, giving them these sage words of advice:—“These fowls nght for victory; they have meither country, gods, nor families to fight for. How much beiter ought you tw tight, wno have all ‘these things to protect!” Unlike the Greeks on that Memorable occasion who, ispired this hitue pap of their nobby friend, fought aud conquered @ Persians, and then from religious motives estab- Vshed an annual cockiight, these men of Albany and New York breed cocks, train them and fight ‘them for money. The almighty doilar 1s a consider- ation with tiem. THE AGREEMENT between these parties was that each should show awineteen birds, weighing from four pounds four ounces to 81x — and fight, as the cock-pit par- lance goes, ‘tall that fall in,” for $200 a battie, aad the heavy sum of $2.000 the odd fight, or main. Everybody seemed to know of tue ornithological Matier. The premises, an unostentatious gin mull, ‘was thronged at an early bour with an enormous and appreciative gathering. li reminded you of ‘at intinitable PICTURE OF HOGARTH’S, ‘with its sparkling litue witticisms, in which a peer and a pickpocket, @ French marquis and a farrier, @ chimney sweep and horse jockey are ail, regard- jess of rank and distinction, busily engaged in cock- fighting. lind and deaf, honest and unscrupulous, erippied and active—they are all thinking oi nothing = but the issue of the combat That picture is the scene of yesterday in Jersey, only a hundred times multiplied, leaving out the shadow on the table showing the gambler sus- pended in a basket holding up his watch for a last Stake. All the os pene | and little—were there. Denizens of Fifth avenue and residents of lowly Streets down town; frequenters of Jerome Park, 1a all the luxury of velvet coats and jockey costumes, sat side by side with butchers and biacksmitis— SOLITAIRE DIAMONDS on the fingers of the one, and grease and smut on those of the others, Doctors in the medical world hobnobbed with surgeons of all the ills that horsefesh is ‘heir to, and smooth-shaven, Norid-faced judges in meek attire were d to ‘make room for _ professtonal gamboliers. Olive-complexioned youths known in merchants’ offices and banking stitutions were compelled to toierate flashily dressed youths in loud meckUes and the like; and there were also pock- marked men with A CANINE LOOK, and abundantly bowelled men, who ride to ’Change every day, along with others of hard, cast-iron features, There is no respecter of persons in a cockpit, for, be it known, cock fighting, to use a gcientitic phrase, ts, without doubt, “wery antic.’ Pauladelphia, Washington, Troy and Boston were represented. When the weighing was done it was found that fifteen couples had falien in. The handlers or pitters were men of long standing and established reputa- tion in the business. At two o'clock, amid the shouts of some and the frolicsome humor of others, and the balanci g of one chap with an apopletic meck and a flery red scarf tied under his chin, on his eyebrows on ab upper seat, these men stroking their birds, the first of the fights, announced that tne pre- arrangements were over and they were ready ior THE FIGHTING. First Fight.—The games began with the light ‘Weighta—two four pound four ounce birds. Albany ‘was the favorite for the first batt, and also for the main, at 100 to 90, although many wagers were made on even terms. Jerome Park had its handfuls of bits of green paper and ventured much of it on New York. Albany sent in @ brown-red with black hackle, smaller-looking than his antagonist, which was a black-red with white huckle and white feathers in tail. These little gen- tiemen didn’t stop long, for they were rattlers. New York went down first, then he turned and got in a brain blow for the brown to think over, which made the former a favorite of 100 to 60. Then busy work followed—a hard, terrific fight. New York had his eyes knocked out, Albany had one eye gone, and yet with that and acut throat he finaliy, in —_ style, Knocked the life out of New York, and won in a perfect storm of buzzas, which ail joined therein. Time, 12:16. Second Fights.—The heavy weights, six unde. Albany showed a black-red tassle, bred by Terry, of that town, and New York @ brown-red, which its owner had wanted to fight anybody's bird for $500 or $1,000. Before they were pitted one of the nobby gentiemen, interested in New York, often seen on the turf, bet another sport on the Albany side an even hundred on the pattie. A storm of offers and a8 many responses, some from twenty-five to $100 were also made. The black- red was a strong, eflective fighter and a good cutter. On the third fy he brained the brown ‘and that handsome $1,000 bird was pounded. This was “taken”? by an interested party—a technical matter, petting one w twenty—aud he lingered yet swhue, but it was no go, and he went home to his mother dyed in his own blood. When the black- red achieved this victory some friend of Albany cried ect, “0 ain't he a fancy stupple!”” ‘Vie, §:20, Third nt.—New York begaa to look sick. Two five pound three ounce birds. One hundred to eighty on Albany. Two black-reds. ‘The handler of Sew York, before he laid down his bird—which was &@ Wagnificent one—pet fifty do}lars he would win the battle, but he did not, and dropped that half century ioe! than he ever did money on a horse race. Tne t fly New York had leg broken, and went down. Yet he was a good one—better than a bushel of his opponent, who could not mouth at all. New York, with that broken leg and in great dis- got up & score of times and tried hard to fight; but he was too much distreseed and at last got cne im the head which did the work and he was picked up aying, a8 game a chicken as ever went into a pit, “Time, 11:30.

Then New York sent one heel into his own head, and fipally, blinded and with throats cut, body ‘tarn nearly to shreds, they went down er, and getting weak, the handlers began the work of “counting ous.”’ At times a work in expert mands may result in vietory.

The fighting occupied nine hours. Twenty thou- Rand dollars changed hands, and there was not a drunk among the large assembiage. Albany out conditioned New York, and teok home many a Gothamite’s pocketbook, or rather their contents. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Rapid Transit—Military Parade Ground— Sewerage and Drainage—Grading of Streets and Avenues—Exemption of Bonds and Mort- gages from Taxation—A Free Library— Steam Commanication on the West Side. A regular monthly meeting of the Brennan Society was held last evening at the Lion Park, 108th street and Ninth avenue, the president, James T. King, in the chair. The Principal business of the evening was the conside- ration of the following report from the chairman of the Executive Committee:— RAPID TRANSIT. The committee refer to this subject in detail, and conclude by suggesting that if the Legislature grants a charter to build an elevated road on the east side of the city, it gives the west side the bene- fit of an underground road, and thus accommodates all parties, PARADE GROU! It is recommended that the proposed parade ground, to meet the wants of our volunteer militia, be located on Manhattan square, in lieu of the Cen- tral Park and other localities already suggested by the public press. SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE. The subject of sewerage for the west side has re- ceived] the careful consideration of the engineers of the Department of Public Works, and they have adopted an entirely new system. Ail the territory west of the Eighth avenue is to be drained into the North river. In ali that pertion of territory west of the Eighth avenue, north of N:nety-second street and south of 104th street, 1t 1s important to have built a main sewer from the Eighth avenue to the Hudson river without any un- necessary delay, connecting at Ninety-sixth street and North river and running through Ninety-sixth street to the Boulevard; through the Boulevard to Ninety-eighth street; through Ninety-eighth street to Ninth avenue; through Ninth avenue to 100th street; through 100th street to Eighth ave- nue, When’ this is completed all the small sewers intersecting can be built without diMcuity. To accomplish this the committee was informed that it was necessary to have opened by Jaw Ninecty-eighth street, as the Deparzment of Pab- lic Works had no power to build sewers in streets not opened, The committee, therefore, addressed a communication to the Department of Public Parks requesting them to take the proper measures to have opened Ninety-seventh and Ninety-eigbth streets from the Eighth avenne to the Boule- vard. Said department has taken action on the matter, and it it 1s now before the Corporation Counsel. The Department of Public Works have decided to build, at an early day, a sewer in 108th street, from the Boulevard to the North river; also in the Boulevard from 108th street to Ninety-sixth street. These sewers, when com- pleted, with such under @rains as may be necossary, will, it is believed, effectually drain this territory and relieve it forever from chilis and fever and _ other malarious diseases, To give the department full power to accomplish this object, and also to draw all the territory north of Fifty-ninth street and west of the Eighth avenue, your committee have drafted an act which will be presented to the Legislature for its immediate action. REGULABING AND GRADING OF STREETS AND AVE- NUES. The appointment of a committee is.recommended to confer with the Department of Public Works and all other authorities having these matters in charge, and, if necessary, apply to the present Legislature to Lisp Bed defects that may be found im the laws on these subjects, EXEMPTION OF BONDS AND MORTG&GES FROM TAX- ATION. In regard to the resolutions sdopted by this society, relative to the exempting of bonds and Mortgages from taxation, the committee report a po which will be laid before the present Legisia- ure, FREE LIBRARY AND STEAM COMMONICATION ON THE WEST BIDE, Resolutions were adopted authorizing the Execu- tive Committee to consider the propriety et estab- pres a free library, to be called the ‘Brennan So- ciety Library of the City of New York.” and aiso to confer with the Department of Public Bocks in re- lation to establishing riverwise steam communica- tion from the upper to the lower part of the city.

Back of the Pavonia ferry, on the Jersey side of the Hudson, there are several acres of land covered with machine shops, voller works, blacxsmiths’ shops, rallw ay sidings and switches, Here railway trains move to and fro in the nignt, the locomo- uves puffing and snorting and blowing like demons. ‘These acres referred to belong to the Erie Railway Company, one of the most powerful and, when fightly managed, one of the most profitable corpora- ‘tons for its directors and stockholders in the United States, When the darkness comes down over all this large tract, in which ts concentrated the might and power of a railway company whic has its raml- fications and NETWORKS OF IRON RAILS all over the broaa land, from the Palisades to the great lakes, nouglt can be seen but the volumes of steam from the escape pipes of the engines, with here and there a green or red lantern, swinging in the alr, to show where the switchman’s little box stands, and where the switchman shivers in the slop and mire of the railway track, Out of the bank of snow and out of the thick dark- ness of the night, which has no moon, comes the switchman, a rugged, impulsive looking fellow, who works through the twelve hours of bis task WATCHFUL AS A HAWK, for the up and down trains. He hears a rushing sound from the depot and rushes to his switch, which he adjusts barely in time, as the Buffalo ex- press dashes by with a grinding, smashing sound. “How much do you get from the Erie Railway Company for this duty?’ asks a HERALD reporter of the switchman, whose eyes shine under the glare of the lantern, as he pulls outa grimy black pipe, which he inserts carefully in the corner of his mouth, (A whitl)— “How much for this juty? Well, it’s twelve hours from six at night until six in the mer nin’. I gets in THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF TWO DOLLARS A DAY and I work Sunday as well as week days; for if I didn’t the childher wouldn’t Lave anything to ate on Sanday.”” Another whiff irom thedhudeen, Another opaque body, In aa old blue army overcoat, comes out in the shadow of the lantern and piants two heavy feet in the dirty snowbank, “Yis, and some of the min HAVN'T BEEN PAID SINCE NOVEMBER. Its aquite rich company, the Erie Railway, but some of the min are starving. What can aman do at a dollar and sixty-two cents a day’ How can he feed the chiidher ¥’” “11'S A D—D SHAME the way the money is spint. The big fellows get their wages and some of us nave to wait two and three mouths for our pay, and wnen it comes it’s all spint before 1t comes,’? The man with the dhudeen—‘‘True for ye, Mick. The ingineers, some of them, make thirty-eight days in a month on fast time with their eignty aud a hun- dred and a hundred and twinty dollars a month, and I’ve seen one ingineer dhraw two hundred and forty doliars in a month, and these men always get’s their money first. The big fellows are kept quiet, of course, and Whin some oi! us go for our money to JIMMY DORAYMUS, why, he’s down at Irinton giving suppers to the jobbymen to fight the Deleware and Lackiwanny Railreod, with lashings of mate and tmbsful of sham- payne, while some of us are up here witi a louf of bread that we bave to get on TICK FROM THE DUTCHMAN in the corner grocery store.

But they Were not paid for Janivrey; they only got ther money for Dicimbir. Then the grocery man gets tired of trushting and some of the men get mad aud throw up their jobs in disgust. Here a train was signalled and the old bine cat disappeared in a hurry and there was a rasping sound from the switch for an istant and a line of eager faces peeped from the smoky train for a moment and then were lost in the darkness, Our reporter left the sceue and stroiled up the read, when he met a man who was walking aleng the track. This man was also an employé of the Erie Railway, and, upon being questioned as to the pro- posed sirike, answered quite intelligently. REPORTER—Have you been paid your wages by the raliroad this month? WoRKMAN—NO; | wor no one paid up there. that have been WORKING SINCE NOVEMBER 31 withont ever seeing a cent of the company’s money. REPORTER—Hew is that? Is there any reason given wby they do not pay you your wages? WorkKMaN—Oh, no reason at all, Sometimes they say bd haven’t got any money, and other times they teil us they will pay us to-morrow; but to-mor- row never comes with Jim Fisk. The road is not Making money, { don’t think; every one of the big guns are disgusted with its wretched management. And how could 1t be otherwise when so much money goes for WOMEN, WINE, HORSES AND OPERA HOUSES, fall of disreputable actresses and dancing girls? Why, they tell me that Fisk was ata ball the other night and that he hada big woman on his arm, whom he exposed to public view, and they say that every bit of her dress was covered with pearls aod her hair was full of dlamonds—diamonds by G—d ! diamonds; and if you will come down he litle way I'l show you a family who have had enly ONE LOAF OF BREAD BETWEEN FIVE PERSONS in two days, and the husband was a helper around the road and got nine shillings a day, and he has not been paid acent in two months. Weil, he got sick, and is just given bated not expected- and the Dutch- man’s stopped his credit because he’s afraid the man Will die and then he won’t be able to get the filty-four dollars that the sick man owes him. I don’t care a d——n for Fisk or his turnouts or his steamboats or his women; but if he'd only strip the silks Off their backs, the diamonds out of their hair and on their bosoms, and the peari necklaces off their necks and shoulders and PAY US WHAT HE OWES US, he might go to the devil for me. I teil you, sir, What I feel, and if you put itin the paper i may be discharged to-morrow, for they will send men as soon as they see the HERALD in the morning to kick me off the railroad; but by G—d it does me good to see the face of an honest man barrin’ the passengers along the line of the Erle ratiroad once in a while, I see 80 many d——d scoundrels. Therejare thousands of men who haven’t veen paid for months, and if they go and talk to Jimmy Doremus or Berthoud and talk about their FAMILIES BEING STARVING, or not being able to pay the rent, they will be kicked off the road for their pains. Here aman joined us who seemed to be in some trouble; for he took the workman aside and whis- ered te him, and the latter put his hand in his vest ‘ket and took something out and gave it to him, “‘You see that man?” sald the workman who had been conversing with the reporter; “he is one of the best mechanics in the Erie shops, and yet he has to come to me and borrow a doilar from me to-night. He told me that his youngest child was suffering from the croup, and although the company owes him a great deai of money he 1s compeiled to BORROW A DOLLAR from me that’s just as bad oif as himself, There'll be a h—Il of astrike im afew days among the men if they don’t get their money, and ‘haps Fisk will be at a bali or be at a supper with Montaland which ‘will cost a thonsaud dollars. Perhaps be will give some one a hundred deilar bouquet or get a pul country newspaper for a thousand dollars, showing that he is the greatest man in America or the most hovest fellew in the world. MY GOD! ISN'T IT A PITY that there isn’t drumhead court martials for civil- Jans or railway vice presidents, as well aa for de- serters who shirk fire im the jace of the enemy!

In a day or two there will be a great strike among the employs of the Erie Ratlway at Jersey City, un- yess they are pald the wages for December. The workman whe had conversed with the H#RALD re- porter stated to him that the keepers of the grocery stores were about to stop giving credit to the la- borers, and then is GREAT HARDSHIP Woukl be the result. With but few exceptions the workingmen seem to lay all the blame on the shoul- ders of Fisk. ‘They cail him ail sorts of names but that of a gentleman, and are terribly tucensed at the stoppages of their pay. up near the tunnel—there’s There's about 1,500 of us EVROPZAN MARKETS.

Meeting of tbe Anti-fenton, Ant!l-Hank Smith Republicans—Ex-Mayor Opdyke Chosen President=the “Tammany Republicans” to Be Fought. The anti-Hank Smith republicans held a meeting ast evening at Dodworth’s Dancing Academy, 212 Fifth avenue, There were 250 delegates from the different wards present who presented their creden- Uals, and constituted themselves into a political as- sociation styled “The Central Grant Campaign Club of the City of New York.” A gentieman of Teutonic extraction told the HERALD reporter that the other party, meaning Hank Smith & Co,, had “tried to prevent the formation of the club in a sub- terraneous manner, but had ignominously failed.” ‘The meeting was called to order by Mr. John D. Lawson, the temporary chairman, who delivered an address setting forth that the other repablican organizations of this city do not represent or have the confidence of the masses of the party; that but a very small part of its rank and file acted with them intheir late proceedings, and that of this small portion the republicanism of a con- siderable number 1s justly questioned. In forming this Central Ciub it was proposed to se- cure harmony in the party and again piace the gov- ernment of our State mits control. The object of the organization was also to give to President Grant and the national administration @ hearty, loyal and unseliish support, and, a3 implied by the name of the organization, to mdicate our purpose that, when the proper ume arrives, we wiil show our apprecla- on of the services of President Grant to the coun- try by securing his nomination, (Prolonged ap- plause.) At the conclusion of the address Mr. Philp Jordan and Mr. John Lobdell were appointed temporary secretaries. The following resolution was proposed by Colonel Duganne:— Resolved, That a credential committee of one from each Congressional district be appointed to which shall be re- ferred all contested seata, and that pending their action each contesting delegate be allowed to cast baif a vote. The resolution was accepted. Ex-Mayer George Opdyke was nominated for permanent president of the club. The delegate making the nomination said, “I propose to nominate @ gentleman kuown to the members of the club as an honor to the nation, who has already received the highest honors within the gifts of the people of tuis city who has the confi- dence of the President of the nation—I mean Mr. George Opdyke.”’ (Prolonged appiause). Mr. E. DELAFIBLD SMITH seconded the motton, and Mr. George Opdyke was elected by a rising vote amid prolonged applause. A committee of five was then appointed by the Chair to wait upen Mr. 0} dyke, who is a member of the special committee of the Republican State Committee, On motion of Mr. WILLIAM A. DaRLInG, Collector of the Internal Revenue, Mr, John D, Lawson was elected first vice president; Mr. John R. Russell, second vice president, and Mr. Levi P. Morton trea- surer of the association, Mr. Philip Jerdan and Mr, John Lobdell were ap- Pointed secretaries for the eusuing year. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. George Opdyke and suite made their appearanc. He was received with bursts of applause, and addressed the meeting as follows:— I return you my thanks for the high distinc- tion conferred upon me as President of this large and influential organization. As its name imports, it intends to devote its efforis to aid and sustain the administration of President Grant. (Prolonged applause.) It is unnecessary for me to say that you shall have my hearty co-operation, It 13 to him more than to any other man that the country 1s indebted for the overthrow of the rebellion. It is to him that the country is indebted for the purity and economy in the administration of our affairs. In the face of largely reduced taxation he has received more reve- nue tian before the reduction was made. He has preserved order at home and peace abroad. He has secured for us the friendship of other nations without abating a jot of the honor of the country—(applause)—and the triumph of his coming election will be even more glorious than that of his first. (Applause.) A committee of five was then appointed to pre- are a constitution and bylaws of the Club, It was ‘urther resolved that an executive committee, com- prising a delegate of each Assembly district, be nominated.
