a MONMOUTH PARK. Second Day of the Extra Meeting. ——_——— Charming Weather and a Very Fine Attendance. THREE INTERESTING RACES, Stonehenge the Winner of the Cottagers’ Cup, Business of the Selling Race and Utica of the Mile Heats. “Hg! for the Downs ! is the cry in London whep the m races are the order of the day. “Hol for the Park!” ought tobe the cry in New York when the regular meeting or an extra ison the carpet at Long Branch. Monmouth Park will one day be to the New Yorker what Epsom Downs pas long been to the Londoner, and before many Years have passed away we shall see the steamers Gnd the railways crowded with the tens of thou- sands of “Yanke” who will fock anpually to the ‘american Derby as freely as the tens of thousands of Johnny Bulls on the other side of the Atlantic week all means of transit, from the iron horse to shank’s mare, to make thcir way to the English Derby. THES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ENGLISHMAN AND THB YANKEE, There will always, of course, be a marked differ- ence between the way of enjoying national sports in England and in America. No other people in the world can equal the bold Britishers in the recklessness with which they throw themselves into'the whirlpool of fun and frolic on any great publite day, Thie can be accounted for in two ways; because the masses of the people do not often get a chance of sharing in amusements witch are ordi- narily monopolized by the privileged classes, end because on such occasions the commoner finds himself temporarily the equal of the peer, and is bent upon making the most of his oppor- tunity, The. cadger can back his favor- ite for the Derby as well as can the count, only that'the former bets his coppers, while the latter risks his gold. Then the privilege of “chaff isan Englishman’s birthright, let him be born in a palace or a hovel, 8 castle or a cabin, and it can be indulged in with impunity on all public holidays and on the Derby day, above all other. daysin the year. What rarefun for the ragged footpad to shout out to the nobby driver of a dashing four-in-hand, “1! Yer weels @ goin’ round!” or to greet the equestrian swell with the advice, “’old on to yer ’orse’s tall!” How exquisite tho enjoyment of the coun: ter-jumper who, having raised enough money to pay Joraseat on a drag, with a place near the ropes, can amuse himself between the races with badgering the dukes and earls, the marquises and millionnatires who are scattered all around him; or, at lunch time, with nodding and winking ft the high brea beauties in the adjoining car- Tiages, and with pressing bis hand to his heart and drinking the health in pantomime of some befeathered dowager duchess who happens to look indignant at his familiarity. al thie belongs especially to the Englishman, and he loses it when he leaves his native isle, It would not pay to indulge in tne sport elsewhere, for, besides that the spirit of char can thrive in no-other air as it can in the air of Great Britain, the people of other countries would be ver, apt to resent What is Meant as fun as an impertinétice. ona HOW A YANKEB REFUSED T0 SWALLOW DERBY . OHAFR, « Indeed, it is not always safe to indulge in this amusement at home, as an Englishman sometimes discovers to his cost, especial when, as is tor oiten the case, the freedom runs into Heensé an the Joke becomes an insult. A few years ago I was present at the Derby when an American family occupied a carriage placed next to tne ropes opposite the grand stand. Immediately be- hind thelr baroache stood a drag covered With cads, who had paid so much a head for the vehicle id @ lunch, The Americans were soon espied, and the ladies of their party became the objects of at- tention oo the part of the English snobs. The jokes and jeers of the latter mot being understood, as Engiish ladies would have understood them, were for some time unnoticed, until they took, by indulgence, the form of insults. The gentlemen of the American party apparently paid no attention to the remarks of their neigh An English entileman in the vicinity of the carriages, observ- fog that the party were foreigners abd that tho ladies were annoyed, called the attention of the police to the conduct of the men on tne drag. A iceman addressed the Americans and told em he was sorry they were subjected to the un- leasantness, but that it was not a matter in which Be could interfere. ‘Oh!’ was the quiet reply, “we do not desire interference on your part, al- though we are obliged to you jor your attention.” Aiter luncn the Derby was run, and immediately after the race all eyes were directed towards the ‘winning post, to see the winner as he walked back, warmly bianketed, and to witneas the ovation to bis fortunate rider. At that moment two of the males of the American party quietly approached the drag. In an instant they were on the top, and, each selecting his man, the two -most offensive of the party were quickly brought down on to the turf. A humbie apology oy saved the offenders from the punisnment eserved. it was made by the Lnglish “chaffers,” hat in hand, amid the applauding shouts of hundreds of their own countrymen, not one of whom failed to condemn their conduct. AN AMERICAN CROWD AT A RACE, AS 1 bave said, an Antérican crowd enjoys itself very diferently at a race or on any pubiic jollifica- tion. There 18 not among she people the same amount of rollicking animal spirits, the same aban- aonment to fun and [rolic, the same good-humored determination to take everything in good part and to give as well as take. Americans are not moved, as Englishmen are, by a common impulse of enjoy- ment, as it were. “Ili 'ave your ’at!” could never become 1n the United States a popuiar slang geeeee as it is all through England, proving irresistib! comic and amusing to the masses everywhere an: on every Occasion. Yet we can enjoy ourselves in ‘this go-ahead, money making, matter-of-fact coun- try after our own fashion ‘as well as people ip the world. Our circumstances are different to to those of Englishmen. When we go tos race, or celebrate any national holiday, we are no more on an equality than we are at ail other times. We have our aristocracy of wealth and of codfish, as a Matter of course; but, instead of chafing them, the masses only faugh’at them and leave them alone. We are & more subdued people tn our sports than the British. The ladies who attend our races Might be at church as well as on the grand stand or at the club Lge except for the chat- ting and flirting going on quietly among the several a 0 8. Our men hang aronnd the the stables or the 5; post, converse with the mash or acobbler at the bar, according to their inclinations. jadies, or ‘voine in a The roughs know their pit and are generally careful not to attract attention to their presence. There is absolutely no “chat,” if there were it ht lead to a knockdown. I am by no means certain that the Knglish breakneck of enjoyment—the surf bathing of fun and lic—is not the best, or, at least, the most amus- ing of the two: but am quite sure that there has been ‘peeaeare and enjoyment enough at Monmouth Park during racing time this season to satisfy the Most epicurean taste. The management has been excellent, the races, if not embracing any contests between the Longieliows, Harry Bassetts and Tom Bowlings of the turf, brought out some excellent horses and were all well contested, THE ROAD TO THE DERBY, In one respect there must always be @ difference between the races at Epsom aud at Monmouth Park. ‘The road to the Derby 18 an institution of itsel!, It belongs to history as much as the reign of Elizabeth or the disestablishment of the Irish There is nothing in the civilized world to equal,.or even to resemble, the highway from Lon- don to Epsom on the Say oF the Derby.

Will Tammany and Apollo Hall Come Together? POLITICIANS ON THE SUBJECT. ‘Interviews with Prominent Belvideres and a Talk with Mr, John Kelly. NO “FUSION” FOR THE SACHEMS. Senstor O'Brien's Strength in Apollo Hall—How Mr. Kelly’s Animosity Keeps—The Bren- nan and Dowling Fight—The Breach Said To Be Closed Up. A good deal of anxiety has recently prevailed among the rank and file of the Apollo Hall democ, Tacy as to the course the leaders will pursue and a8 to the probabilities of a union with Tammany Hall. Last year’s experience has taught them that, ir tickets for local offices are run by both organiza- tions the majority between the two stools will come to the ground and the republicans again alide into office. The gencral impression among the rank and file of Apollo Hall 1s that a fusion between Tammany and the Belvideres will be a very diMcult object, but a very desirable one. To the average politician instinct there are two great difficulties in the way of the desirable coalition, The first is, that Mr. John Kelly, who is confessedly one of the most powerful leaders of Tammany, cannot by any possibility get over his animosity to Senator O'Brien, and would never consent to his being admitted into Tammany Hall; the second is, that Sheriff Brennan, who, next to Mr. Kelly, is the most powerful man in Tammany, could never be induced to admit into his organization the powerjul delegation from the Second Assembly district which now forms part of the Apollo Hall General Committee, and which is led by Judge Dowling, Morgan Jonés and ex-Alderman Tom Co- man, and that the leaders of Apollo Hall would never give the latter up to join Tammany without them. Senator O’Brien has already expressed his hopes and fears on this subject of a fusion through @ HERALD reporter at Saratoga, where he ia at present staying. It 18 safe to say that Mr. John McCool, whom he has made Chairman of Apollo Hall against Judge Spaulding, and Mr. Ben Wood, whom he has recently tntroduced into Apollo Hall, enter- tain ideas on the subject identical to those of the young Senator. 4 O'BRIEN STILL STRONG, With the object of testing the feeling of the other leaders on the subject a HERALD reporter called at alate hour last night at the residence of Judge Spaulding, of the Marine Court, who, next to Sen- ator O’Brien, is considered one of the strongest men in Apollo Hall by reason of the republican support which he could command. In fact the Judge was the opponent of O’Brien’s nominee for the chairmanship of the organization, and accord- ing to the opinion expressed by a well known poli- ticlan below Mr. U'’Brien owed his defeat for the Mayoralty last fall to the fact that Juage Spaulding was not made Chairman of Apollo Hal The reporter found the Judge in his comfortable study, aud, after introducing the subject of his late Visit, asked nim directly what he thought of the probabilities of @ uniov. “Well, 1 confess,” he replied, “I do not know what to say upon the matter. One thing you ma: State for certain in the HERALD, that, as lar as kuow, all the leaders of Apollo Hall are ANXIOUS FOR A UNION, simply and purely (wis a@sinile) in the interest of the democracy. n't understand me to say that we want to go into Tammany Hall.” “Then what do you mean by ‘a union,’ Judge ?”’ “You can safely’ state that we will never give up our organization. That will always be separate.

If, however, & general deal is made all round, why, the democrat:c ticket could not be beaten.’ “Now, Judge, might Task Ate Ay in your opin- fon, is Mr. O’Brien’s strength in Apollo Hall ?"” “Oh, O’Brien is still a very strong man; not 80 strong a8 he was before his last Waterloo, but he is @ great organizer; he knows everybody and is an indefatigable worker.”” said Mr. Kelly will not unite with him??? “That may be. jt be so 1 am sorry for it. Ido not know that we have any candidates ourselves yet. I have not seen our men for the last six weeks, since our last meeting, and most of them are in the country,’? THE BRENNAN-DOWLING FIGHT. The ba a then called upon ex-Alderman Morgan Jones, the chairman of the delegation to Apollo Hail from the second Assembly district. In reply to his questions Mr, Jones said, as Judge Spaulding did, that the leaders of Apollo Hall were all anxious for a union with the sake of the democracy, beiteved that a compromise would be forced on the leaders of both sides by the rank and file of the de Ns, ‘Ntfat i Mr, OvBrien’s strength, Mr. Jonge “O'Brien is stiil a stronger man in pet icé than 1s generally supposed even by his own friends.” “Do you think this proposed union impossible or improbable ?”” “Well, I think that the only thing that could pre- vent it would be the animosity of John Kelly to Senator O’Brien. You see he said this feeling is of ola standing. O’Brien, in his very firet race for Alderman Ko Kelly’s nominee for the same office, Alek Blandon, In Keily’s own district, in which O’Brien resides. The fact of their residing in the same ward strengthens the quarrel. You see O’Brien is @ politician, and will not speak to men to-day and shake hands to-morrow. Mr. Kelly’s animosity keeps,’? “Then you think that this would render the union with Tammany improbable ?” “Mr, Kelly’s temper, I think, would be the only thing that would make it improbable.” “What about the Brennan and Ddwling fight 7” “Well, Itell you, and I think you may salely state tt that Sherif’ Brennan would now open the doors of Tammany Hall to us if he could.. So have no fears on that score. The Sherif has been ill-advised, butIthink he would admit our delegation into ‘Tammany.’ Mr. Jones jer stated that he believed that the only thing which could weaken Mr. O’Brien with the Apollo Hall party woud be his selling the # ie bake Of two or three cundi- organization for dates. “[ understand,” he continued, “that the pro- gramme of Mr. O’Brien of a union is made 80 as to run Ben Wood for the Senate in this (the Fourth Senatorial) district, ex-Recorder James M. Smith for Supreme Court Judge, and John McOool for County Clerk. In that case none of us would vote for him while he sold his organization jor three men. As far as the reporter could learn THK OTHER LEADERS OF APOLLO HALL hold the same opinions on this question as Judge Spaulding. Fran M. Bixby is in Saratoga, ex- Judge William ©. Barrett is at West Island, and the reporter called at Mr. Henry L. Clinton’s resi- dence in Park avenue, but he was out of town also. It is understood that he is a little sore with some of the leaders of Apollo Hall, but he is not with Tammany, that is certain. Ex-Sherif John Kelly on the Situation. Mr. John Kelly, ex-Sheriff of the county, returned from Europe last Monday, and if he has had any time to himself since his arrival he should feel under no obligations to the local politicians who claim his personal acquaintance. All the big and little fry have been after him since he put foot ashore, His house and his office have been be, sieged by ® great many people, whose particular interest in the health of Mr. John Kelly is meas- ured by @ sense of his prospective power and patronage in the future of municipal poli- tics. There i# & Vague and not ailto- gether unreasonable idea in the minds of those who give any attention to the drift of city Politics that Mr, Kelly is the coming man, and that his dictum will be the law of the party in the ap- proaching struggle. Tweed, Connolly, Sweeny and the rest have peen swept off the boards, and ara Jost to sight and memory ag completely as if they never existed, but as this city seems to be in- capable of governing itsclf without giving undue power and prominence to some men or set of men, who in the long run come to believe they own the city themselves, it is natural to expect that some speculation should be indulged in as to the proba- ble succession of the LATE LEADERS OF TAMMANY. Few are prepared to believe that the old régime will be restored under other names and with more reputable certificates of character. The least, it is thought by that class of people who have tne deep- est interest in the welfare of New York, tnat may happen is the restoration in very subordinate positions of old hangers-on of Tammany; but that the municipal government i8 at all likely to pass over, body and soul, to the same hands that mantpu- lated it 80 notoriously is scouted on all sides, A HERALD reporter met Mr John Kelly yester- day, immediately alter he had parted company with the pall'd and accomplished gentleman kuown as Fernando Wood. STYLE OF MR, KELLY. Mr. Kelly is a stout, averaged size gentleman, an American by birth, with ap even tempered way of acting and talking—coo!l without eunning, and modest without aifectation, He is some filty years of age, sprinkled with gray in hair and whis- kere, an undemonstrative, yet a clear and ersuasive, talker, apparently unreserved in is opinions, advancing them with no pre- tence to intalubility, and with no efiort whatever towards display. In short,a plain, sensible man, to whom one might go for counsel in an emergency, accessible to all and in every point of behavior a creditable citizen. THE INTERVIBW. The REPORTER asked—Mr. Kelly, is there founda- tion for the statement that you, im coniurciion with other mamyers of tho Tammany Socisty, had a conference on Saturday night with the leaders of the Apollo Hall party’ Mr. KELLY—No foundation. I only arrived in New York yesterday (Monday), and {t is therefore pia pes idn’t have been at the conference here su RevorTeR—Have you heard of any con‘erence LOOREEE £5 # SOIBUTIA SCY of the Apollo and Tam- many Hall forces for the fight in November? Mr. KELLY—Nothing bat rumor. You see I have been some time away, and whatever I have learned in my absence comes to me in the shape of rumor, RePorTER—Has the Tammany party any inten- tion of seeking @n alliance with Apollo Hall? Mr. KELLY—I think Tammany is quite strong enough to sweep the fleid this fall indepeudent of any outside aid. When Apollo Hall comes to us we may listen, but we (rst go to them, 1 am twenty- five years in politics and only on a jew occasions have I seen the democratic party of this city wholly united, We have always iiad outside organiza- tions which tor one purpose or another refused to work in the regular traces, but they never had much influence on the generat result. Now Apoll Halli may have some local strength; that 1s, a can- diaate o: that party and a candidate of Tammany may be pretty ' EQUALLY MATCHED in a ward and the Apollo man might carry the elec- tion, but then, taking the whole fleld, the Tammany organization for many reasons must be in the ascendant. But, mind you, it will not be in the ascendant, nor will Apollo Hall nor any other organization, unless this most essential thing is observed—the putting into nomination of the proper men. REPORTER—Who would you call the proper men? Mr, KELLY—Men of character, who have had no afMiliation with the Ring and no hand in its irauds, The people look for this, and if we disappoint them our organization, no matter how strong i jappen to e, wil be overcome. Last jall we might have succeeded, but the national’ issues swamped us. Thousands of our friends, incensed with the Greeley candidacy, overlooked the local issues and let the nunicipal contest go by defanit. Isce no reason why we should be defeated this time if, as I said before, we nominate the proper men. Weare not hard up for good representatives, and if there be WISDOM IN OUR QOUNGI . we shall get the Bebe # Cat. Wetstofore a few B < men, for their own selfish cnds, ran the whole maghinery. Offices were regularly bought an old; and what wonder if a good many rascals crept into positions? Judges On the bench were convicted of accepting bribes, and @ score of charge wee brought and proved against men who, pretending to represent the démocratic fora and sheltering themscives under the egis of Tammany Hall brought infinite disgrace on us. In former days such men would have been execrated and driven either into jail or out of de- centsociety. Now all this must be changed. No one man or clique of men must rule and use the Tammany organization for hus own benoit or the benefit ofa ring after this. Apollo Hall broke away from the parent stem because the few lead- ers of the , ai they are called, insisted on ex- cluding all but themselves and their friends from the good offices. ‘Bie fact is this whole thi has been a question as to who should have the ices, If many of those who run the Apollo Hail machine had been provided with the places they wanted you would have heard very little of Apollo Hall. REPORTER—DO you suppose the Apollo Hall men will fall in wich the old party when the contest fairly opens? Mr. KxgLLy.—I do think that the best representa- tives of the Apolio Hall democracy will slide in with us of their own volition, We want with them, joking te she eabetion of an office here to this Apollo Hall man, and an office there to another, That won’s do, The people could see through that arrangement very quickly. We want nothing that shall. reveal an illustration of “the cohesive power of public plunder.”’ Apollo Hall, like the many other outside organizations thi have come into and gone out of being within the last twenty years, will find that its real interest lies in @ cordial co-operation with Tammany. Any- how, Tammany 1s master of the situation and will remain go if the right men are nominated ; if not, it may suffer defeat. There has been no confer- ence, 80 far as I know, nor do we want any, but we nave no fear of the result, as far as Tammany is conostued with the proviso of which I have already told you. THE OALIPORNIA CADETS. Captain Macdonald gave a very unique exhibition of his famed California Cadets at the Seventh regi- ment armory last evening before an audience of invited guests numbering fully 1,000 people, of whom quite @ number were ladies, The greater portion, of course, were National Guard men of all Tanks, interested, through their militia connection, in tl new squad of stars that rises in the West. The cadets on the floor numbered only twenty. They mancuvred entirely without the guides and file closers, who go so far to render the militia drill an attainable science, and most of their manceuvres were performed biindioid. The uselulness of this special proposition in drill is explained by Captain Macdonald on the ground that soldiers frequently have to move in the dark, It is doubtful, however, u the blindfold drili, hke the ordinary bayonet exercise, can be made very available in actual service, though it is cer- tainly not without ite startling effect in the eal ingh " tte, peat a, The cadets te ingiolde \ bes Lets as ERE SEAR marching in ciose and open order, the skirmish drill and rally, as well as many complex move- ments of Captain Macdonald's own invention. ‘They rallied by threes, fours, eights aud en masae, formed squai guarded against infantry and cavalry, aimed, fired, fell down, rolled over, re- tired dnd otherwise succeeded in startling the nerves of the Seventh men, who hitherto modestly confined themselves to an open-eye drill and Upton. The enthusiasm of the Captain, who was 80 ey en- listed in the success of his boys that he ac- companied every command by an energetic effort of his lungs, equal to the needs of a regiment, and zealously periormed the Inanwuvre he had ordered, iufected the audience, and achieved for his age | probably a greater success than either the novelty or accuracy of their mauqu- vres demanded. The applause was very hearty, and, at the close, the Seveuth men present saluted the company with that modulated yell which that model regiment alone, and then only in moments ofenthusiasm, has invented to express its feclings. A handsome collation was given the cadets later in the evening. THE KNIFE AGAIN. A Lad of Twelve Years Stabs a Play- mate for Interfering in a Quarrel. Yesterday afternoon an affray occarred which nearly resulted in homicide. 1t affords another ex- ample of the violence o/ passion exhibited in boys of tender years when heated to madness by the interference of well-meaning friends, Tue young gamin looks upon advise or remonstrance as) un-called-for interference, and = loses no time to redress the injury, The case in point is one in which the parties concerned were all mere children. Thomas Payne, aged twelve years, and a younger playmate, while playing in Oak street yesterday, began to quarrel, and the discussion culminated in blows. Just a8 they began to tight William Farrell, Cont thirteen ears, Inte and tried to stop the belligerents, rat by persuasion, which failing, he force. Payne then turned on him and began to beat him, bat Farrell being the stronger, he was overpow- ered. Smarting under the ating of apertr os on, he drew from his pocket a small cket-knile and assaulted Farrell with it, Farrel did not know that he had the knife, and so stood his Gionne until Payne drove the knife into his breast inflicting @ severe and dangerous wound. Farrel Tan up street calling “Marder!” af the top of his voice, and his assailant decamped in the other direction. Farrell fainted, and was sent home alter having been attended to by Dr. Naughton, At a late hour Jast night he was in a very danger- ous condition, the doctors envertaining sught hopes a8 to bis recovery. Young Payne was subsequently [egy and lodged in the Oak street station joure. RAIDING ON BOSTON LIQUOR DEALERS. Boston, Mass., August 20, 1673. A raid was made to-day upon T. J.

Ray, of Indiana, The Convention was called to order by William E. Dodge, who stated its object, He said this was the seventh annual Convention. The last one was held in Oleveland, when it was resolved that the next meeting should be whenever the exigencies of the cause might seem to require it. That time, it was thought, had arrived; hence the call for this Convention, where action can be taken to promote the great cause of temperance throughout the land. Professor George B. Jocelyn, President of Albion College, Mich, was then called vo preside, and Rey. Dr. Potter, of Connecticut, made a prayer, aiter which the hymna, ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,” was sung. Professor JOCELYN then addressed the Conven- tion, saying he hoped something more than the adoption of mere resolutions would be done at this meeting. In their deliberations, he said, there woukd, doubtless, be much difference Sonat believer olutical action. For himself ne hat the time had come for such a tion, so that the demon of intemperance migut be driven fr hoped the brethren would pray to God for harmo! on this question; and, as mon generally act ane vote as they pray, thus harmony would be secured. On motion of Rev. i HEvpoRE L, CUYLER, of New York, J. M. Stearns, of New York; W. O. Green, of Massachusetts; D. ©. Babcock, of Pennsylvania, and H. W. Connant, of Khode Island, were ap- pointed secretaries. M. H. scott, of New Jersey; A. A. Robbing, of New York, and Louis Wagner were designated a committee to collect creden!

Barker, Ovrresponding Secretary of the United Kingdom. Temperance Alliance, detailing the work per- formed by the Aliance and stating that the cause is in @ flourishing condition. He urged political action for the voting down of the rum traffic, Mr. WILLIAME. DopGE moved that the letter be printed and that the thanks of this Convention be returned to the writer and the Alliance of land. Rey. C. W. DENNISON moved as an amendment that the bn ee Fespectiully inform the Alliance that this Convention dissents from the ete le ot the Alliance, that while @ man himeel! drinks ne has the right to'ask for a probibitory law. This motion gave rise to some discussion, in Which tt was claimed tnat the United Kingdom Alliance was engaged in the temperance cause; that ite singlé Object was the suppression of the liquor trafiic, to stop drinking, and, therefore, it was well worth the endorsement of this Conven- tion. Finally, Mr. Dennison withdrew his amend- ment aud the motion was adopted, The’Gummittee on Permanent Organization re- ported as tollows:— For President, Judge R. C. Pitman, of Massachu- neti For Secretaries, John N. Stearns, W. 0. Green, H. W. Conant and D. C. Babcock. ‘The report was agreed to. A committee then conducted Judge Pitman to the chair, who briefly addressed the Convention. In the course of his remarks be said the first cal} upon the statesman was to roll away this barrier to our thorough civilization known as intemperance, and urged legal suasion with much earnestness. He insisted that in adopting legal suasion it was bord carrying out to effectivencas moral suasion, and instanved the anti-slavery work, which amounted to nothing until it was introduced into politics, There was.no better way to bring temper- ance into t@® homes and hearts of the people than to get it into politics, where it will be discussed at their popular gatherings and qeetings, on the street corners and elsewhere, He said when he saw the liquor interests involving more capital than any other interest of art, mechanics and agriculture even, he could not see how the temper- ance cause could avall Sarthing onsy an api Was made to the votes of the better nature which is in humanity, On motion of Mr, Stearns Rev.
