al ® 4 PIGEON SHOOTING. The Grand Handicap of the Jerome Park “Gun Chub. Eighteen Members Shoot for the Prizes. Charles P. Palmer the Winner of the Cup and Francis H. Palmer the Second Prize. ‘The pigeon shooting event yesterday at Jerome Park will bé memorable for years to come by all ‘Who participated in the exciting amusement, as it ‘was the greatest affair of the kind thatever came offin this country. Joyous and buoyant fegitng seemed to fill the breasts of all engaged in the sport, ana mirth and hijarity ruled the hour at the Park. The object of the gathermg at Jerome Park yester- day morning of the many gentlemen who were there was efther to be engaged in or witness the shooting ofa handicap (or a silver cup, presented by James G. Benuett, Jr, the entrance for which being $10, this money to be given as a second prize, J. K. Uackett was selected as handicapper, and right well he performed the duty, as elguteen of the twenty-six gentlemen handicapped accepted the penalties and all seemed satisiied with the dts- tances assigned them, The other gentlemen, who did not participate in the shooting, were deprivea of the privilege by business engagements. The con- ditions of the handicap were thirtgen birds each, one and a quarter ounce shot, eigtty yards boun- Gary, the distance of rise being as the handicapper imposed, which was as follows:— Yards Rise, Hayward Outting, Cornelius Fellows. 27 Charies P, Palmer 24 Kdward Leavitt, J Ti S. Jaffray Charies Bank: Francts A. Palme: dames G. Bennett, ‘William Douglas Henry Leavitt John G, Heckscher. George W. Jonnsvn. Henry Brevoort, Charles A, Post... A. B. Stemnverger. The shooting was announced to begin at eleven o’clock, sharp, but it was afternoon before the first bird was killed, J. K. Hackett was referee. When the game commenced it progressed quite rapidly to the end, Mr. Charles P. Palmer winning the cup, having shot eleven birds out of thirteen. There ‘was te for the secona prize between Francis H. Palmer, John W. Bull and Charies A. Post, each of these gentlemen having killed ten biras, They then shot at three biras each to dectde who should have the money, and this resulted ina tle, each shooting two birds, These geatlemen shou over again at three pigeons, when Mr, Palmer kil.ed all the birds and secured the prize. AS a Whole the shooting was not remarkably good, although there were many very dificult shots made; but we will offer as an excuse ior tis that the day was too cold tor cumfort or carciul aim. Yet, for amateurs, the scores present proofs that the Jerome Gun Club will compare favorably with any other in this country, and in ume will be able to compete ‘with any in the world. ‘The following are the aetatls of the shooting, with the score of each, Mr. Jafray leading ol:— NO. 1—MR.

Apnaal Meeting—Election of Omcers—Re- port of Committeer—Juvenile Delinquents— Caunes of Crime and Keforms Surgested. The attendance at the annual meeting of tho National Prwon Association, held yeater- day morning, at Steinway Hall, was not large. Several very interesting reports were presented, General Pilsbury acted as temporaiy chairman, The election of oflcers was proceeded with, the following being the result:— President, Horatio Seymour; Vico Prezidents— Daniel Haines, Francis Lieber, James G. Blaine, “Amos Pilsbury, Conrad Baker; Coresponding Secre- tary, E. C. Wines; Recording Secretary, B. K. Pierce; Treasurer, John E. Willams, The President made a verbal report on prison dis- cipline, in which he set forth that the laws in regard to crime were very defective, and were of feudal origin, and that crime was punished for its name and notfor the act itself. He regretted that he could not give 93 iong a report as he desired until he had an interview with the Commissioner ap- pointed by the State on the snbject of prison discipline, He submitted, however, that the laws should be amended in regard to the administration of justice, Grand juries should be done away with and the term of criminals snould be shortened if their conduct was good, ‘The President concludea oy hoping that the commendable movement inaugurated by Dr. Wines woul be suc- cessful, and that essential reforms would be made in the criminal laws. Dr. Wines, the Secretary, was asked for his report, but owing to a pressure uf business tne report and several other reports were laid over until a future occasion. The report of the Executive Commitice ‘Was adopted, JUVENILE DELINQUENTS. The report on juvenile delinquents, presented by the Rev. Mr. brace, was very interesting, and was listened to with great attention. The causes were divided into fve heads, as follows:—Inheritance, ignorance, orphanage, want of a trade and weak- hess of the marriage tle, The report goes on to state that the subjects upon which tne committee are called upon to report are so vast and com- licated, and the time of the convention 1s 80 mited, that we have fel it most advisable to present but one portion of the great work Now being performed in the country in behalf of our unfortunate or criminal youth. and tat ts the preventive measure which naturali7 otten re- cetves less attention in such assemblies than tne more imposing labors of reformaion, The cor mittee say they will confine themseives in the present paper 10 an examination of certain sources of juvenile crime not usually much considered, treating briefly of oihers which have veen oiten and ably discussed, and then shall give a brief resume of certain PREVENTIVE MEASURES in New York which may be found of much value if adopted in other cities, and the results ol these extended movements in the records and statistics of juvenile crime. If certain aspects of our subject seein tuo briefly dealt with the assoctation will con- sider the orlef time allowed for such important discussion. THE CAUSES OF JUVENILE CRIME. The great practical division o: causes of crrme may be made tatv preventable and non-preventable, Among the preventable those whici can be in good part removed may ve Mey at igoorauce, intem- perance, overcrowding of population, want of work, Adieness and vagrancy, the Weakness of the mar- riage Ue and bad legislation, IGNORANCE, There needs hardly a word to be said on the intt- ; Maie conuection between ignorauce and crime in this country. im New York State about thirty-one per cent of adalt criminals cannot read or write, while six eight-enth per cent of the adult popula- tion at large are illiterate, In the City Prison, during une year 1870, there were 18,422 prison- ers out oi 4y,423 Who could not write and Se" read—inore than thirty-three per cent. . and Benevolence. So far Terpsicbore has had a brilliant time of it. Beyond question there is no city in the world so ardently devoted to genuine amusement as this, the famous metropolis of the Empire State. All classes are entertained according to their respective aspirations after meritorious fun, That the world cannot wag with- out something cheerful to enliven the rugged) path has long since had ample demonstration, and the fact has been well establishea that social re- univns tend in a great measure to streagthen frendships which otherwise might prove cold and indiiferent or superiicial.

And, by the way, the ball given at the Academy of | Music under the auspices of the Young Men’s Association was a credit to the | Metropolis. In point of elegance, refine. ment and respectability it far surpassed iis fourteen brilliant predecessors, and proved worthy the foremost place in the record of many simuar entertainments.

The bali Jast week, for instance, was exceedingly attractive and sociable, and will long be remembered with pleasant recollections by those who participated in the festivities, Dancing commenced at avout ten O'clock, and as the floor was not uncomfortably crowded, the well arranged programme was carried out smoothly and to the evident | deught of all present. The tollets of the ladies were remarkably tasteful, a splendid | band was in atten tance, and, indeed, nothing was left undone to render ‘the affair a grand success, ‘The greatest harmony prevailed. ‘Ihe members of the several committees were everywhere, and | together forwed a splendid phalanx of good organizers and ant courtiers. Mr. Jeremiah Quinian, the President of the assoctation, superin- tended the festivities, while the courtesy and zeal oi Mr, Dems O’Donougnue, assisted by Mr. ‘Thomas | J.

During the twenty-four hours up to noon yester- Gay there we:e reported twelve cases of smallpox, being sixty-seven cases since Saturday Inet. Up to yesterday at noon five deaths were reported, this being twenty-six deaths from this cause since Satur- day at noon, A committee, headed by Mr. Robinson, of Brew- ster Station, Putnam county, called on Dr, Morris, and stated that they were appointed a committee by the citizens of the above place to wait upon him to see if he could not help them, a8 the small- 7er had broken oat in their midst, @ case being at he hotel in that piace, and they having only two doctors in the piace, who did not seem to under- stand their business, The doctor advised them to hire an tsolated house for a hospital, have all their smalipox patients removed there, and then have all the inhabitants in the town vaccinated. Mr. Robinson asked the doctor if he could not farnish a physician, and one was sent up there, who, upon examination, found ten cases in the place, and will vaccinate all wno wish and take charge of the hospital. The smallpox has also broken ont at the back of Peekskill’ and at many other places on the line of the Barlem Rail- and The Smallpox in Brooklyn, The disease so much dreaded on all sides 1s spreading rapidly im Brooklyn. There were 100 cases of smailpox reported to Heattn Officer Cochran during the past week. In the Meantime the work of vaccinating the peo- ple goes on vigorously. In Soutn Brooklyn a corps of experienced pnysicians, under Sanitary In- spector Dr. Alexander Cochran, have done excel- lent service in stamping out the infectious and dis- figuring malady. This division is composed of the following named doctors:—Creamer, Mc- Shane, Gilligan, Plunkett, Bell, McManus, Little and Sherry. These gentlemen vaccinate upon an ave one hundred persons each per week. Health Officer Cochran 1s much exer- cised in his endeavors to exclude infected cargoes of rags from being landed from vessels for storage in Brooklyn. ‘fhe Sezampe has been repeatedly made to discharge these objectionable cargoes on that side of the river, and the services of an “extra” san!tary squad have been Called into requisition to prevent it, THE SMALLPOX HOSPITAL. Report of a Committee Appointed to Examine Into Its Condition—More Buildings Needed, The Commissioners of Charities and Correction, under whose supervision is placed the Smallpox Hospital on Blackwell's Island, heving lately been much annoyed with reports that the hospital was in @ wretched condition, lately appointed a dis- interested committee of physicians to examine it and report upon its fitness for the purpose for which it is used, which report is given below. In justice to the Commissioners it may ve well to state that they have done and aro still dolng everything in their power to alleviate the sufferings of those who may become inmates of the hospital, and are using every exertion to make them as comfortable as possible while in transitu to the island. In former years tt was the custom to carry the patients to the hospital im an open boat, by which means they were oiten exposed to storms of sleet and snow, and frequentiy became thoroughly drenched before reaching the island. Now, however, the patients are conveyed to the hospital in @ neat and comfortable boat, which can be closed during inclement weather or left open when the air is clearand warm, New temporary buildings are also being erected on the islaud, and the Commissioners will this week be able to accom. Modate 300 patients wili neat and comfortable quarters, ‘The following is the report of the Examining Com- mittee referred to avove:— NEw York, Jan. 23, 1872, TO THE HONORABLE THE COMMISSIONERS OF PUBLIO CHARITIES AND CORREOTION:— GREATLEMEN—The undersigned, in agcordance with your instructions, visited, on the 2d inst, the Smallpox Hospital on Biackwell’s Island, and we also inspested the receiving Fooms,on the corner of Twenty-elghth street, and the steamer ope. ‘the reeeiving rooms were in good condition, clean and comfortable appearance, presenting a | ‘The patients brougut here with smallpox, as we learned, are in general “detained but "a ‘few “moments, vand’ ‘never more than a tew hours.
