Motion to Change Place of Trial and to Ret Aside Stay of Proceedings. Argument in the Gupreme Court, Chambers—Ap- peal from the Action of Judge Pratt—Those Letters Still Kept in the Background. 18 Being understood that the Fiek-Stokes case ‘weuld come up yesterday before Judge Brady, of the Supreme Court, the Chambers, in which room une Judge ts at present holaiag court, was crowded by an cager and expectant assembiage. The supposi- ‘Mon "was—and, it is meediess to say, of course, a strong ablaing hope aiso—that the letters and am- @avits connected with the case regarding whch gach strongly persistent and successful efforts have been made hitherto to keep from the public know- Jedge, would be unoarthed and spread out tn all their repuisiveness. But sucn expectancy and hope were not gratiNed. The proceedings, in fact, were ef the dullest character umaginabie, though involv- ‘mg certainly important legal principles. There was met even the enltvening presence of either of the eontestants to give ¢clai to the occasion, aud those Who-expected to sec Mrs. Mansfield, the Helen of thie legal warfare, in court were grievously disap- pointed. The case came up on Amotion to show ‘enuse why the stay of proceedings granted by Judge Pratt, pending the appeal from his order remowng the canse, should not de set aside. ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL. ‘Mr. SumPaRp read @ brief aMidavit, showing that when the order staying proceedings was mooted ‘hey bad stated they would rather argue the ques- tion on the meriis than have this stay granted. Tue consequence was that they were restrained, unless ‘unis stay were set aside, [rom dolng anything. He Mought the Court had full power to sei aside this may of proceedings. Mr. BEACH said the authority cited by the coun- ge) applies only to the case where a motion is made upon addiuona! facts—a motion to vacate the order Previously Cent by the Cowt. 1 am not aware @i any deci which justifies an application to a co-ordinate Judge to review and vacate upon the same facts without any new allegations an order made @ litigated motion, and the hearing of me before another Judge.

We appeared before jadge Prats at an adjourned day for the setulement the order, or rather for the argument why tne in- citon shonld not be continued.

Shuitz & Clark are importers of toreign wines and liquors in Vesey strect. They do business with many nouses in Europe, aud, consequently, pay & large amount of duty at the Custom House.

Fine Contest—Good Day and Track—Kingston and Mate the Wioners. It will be remembered by all sportsmen that on Thorsday of Jast week, at the finish of the exctung race at Fleetwood Park between the chestnut stal- lion Honest Allen and running mate and the brown gelding Kingston and ranning mate, which required two days and six heats to decide, the teams were matched for asecona race of the same charac- ter. This was appointed to take place on the Pros- pect Park Fair Grounds, Monday lass, $2,000 the amount to be decided by the result, The utter up- fitness of that day, because of the snow storm and chilling winds fer such @ contest, caused the race to be put off until yesterday, and the post- ponement, in the matter of a good track and pleasant weather, proved to have been wise and timely. Ever since the match was made speculation as to the result has been of the liveliest character among the sporting fraternity, as, in the first place, it is not often that such an attraction is Presented at this late period of the season; and, secondly, there were many of the betting men who did not hesitate to declare that they thought the Kingston team uid aot get all that belonged to them at Fleetwood, There can be no doubt that this ts true, as, perhaps, the result of yesterday’s contest 1s some proof, tending in a measure to demonstrate the abilities of the respective trotters with running mates.~ The Kingsion team won tne race after four heats, scoring the sevoud, third and fourth, The betting before the horses came upon the track ‘was slightly in favor of the Allen team, but wnen they appeared 1% changed very quickly, and the Kingston t¢am became firet choice, although it will de noted, as below, that there was but little differ- ence in tne betting, ‘The day was very pleasant, the track in capital order for the sea:on and the attendance quite satis- factory, many tadies being observed at the clab house, The character of the contest was such that none, noteven the most imvelerate grumbier, could find fault with the least detail, Victory was squarely batued for irom the onset, ana the beats were tine exlubitions of speed, the second being made in 221734.

Why the Gas is Bad and Why the Consumers Are To Blame.

It is¢laimed by the gas men at the Manufactories that they are not to blame for this, and that if the lamps were kept 1m proper order things would be diferent. However, his argument was given its due weignt in the HgxaLp yesterday, and 1% 1s hardly possible that many people have or will put mach faith in it. Wien the lampa im the sparsely settled districts of the city, and in out-of-the-way streets, simultaneously at a certain: period of the year show the same signs of weakness, and give scarcely enough light to keep the darkness away from the lampposts themselves, there mus¢ be @ screw 1l003¢ somewhere in the gas pipes, which the companies could easily tighten if they were not so feverishly anxious to make moro money. than the law of right and justice allows.
