6 \A Maritime Romance in the Law Courts. Burned at Sea by the Rebel Cruiser Alabama sTon, Feb. 7, 1876. The Court of Commigsioners of Alabama Claims will shortly render a decision in the suit, or rather the tree suits, involved in the cases numbered 736, 757 and 775 on the docket of the Court, the question at issue fn which ie whether the Uuited States shall reimburse the plaintiffs jn there suits for the losses they suffered Dy the destruction ai sea by ire of the American bark Texan Star ai ihe hands of the rebel Admiral Semmes, who made the ture with the famous cruiser Ala- the 2 Ocean on the 24tb of December, who are the executrix of the now deceased (6 1 the owners of the veese! and of the cargo, present their case as follows :— Under date of July 3, 1863, Captain Pike, who was then in the neighborhood of Caloutta, with the Texa Star, was advised by the managing owners of the ves- sel, Samuel Stevens & Co., of Boston, that, on infor mation gained in Europe, they believed that at least one of the insurgent cruisers was on its way to East in vhe } t India waters, and that therefore the American flag Would goon become comparatively valucles® as « pro tection to property in those waters, and they accord. ingly adyised placing the *hip under the b flag or any other flag, hoping thereby ct their prop. erty. . In the same letter they ( 8) instructed the Captain as to the process by which this change could be effected. The process given ig one that has previous wars by the citizens vsed to a considerable ex ellion, and been frequently ured of two belligeren a was tent on both sides during the war of the re always is an atiempt, by a pretended ceive the enemy, aud thus save property from being destroyed by him On the 1 Pike ma among A of the Alwbam, of the burning of the r, in the same year, Captain aulmain and found’ a pame near Sunda Strait, Accordingly Captain Pike went to the office of MRC & Co, ants of the town, being accompanied and introd y the Amor- fean Consul, Mr. William Brooks, and an agreement was made by Which the Texan Star was conveyed by a formal bili of eale to Mark Riddell Currie for @ consid- eration of 70,000 rupees, bein return giving Captain Vike apd the owners a wortgage bond for 80,400 rupees And a power of attorney givimg them the entire con- trol of the vessel, which, under the British flag, was to be the Martaban, of Maulmain. ‘The bark sailed [rom Maulmain on the 12th, and was overhauled aud burned by the Alabatna, with eve thing on board, when within a few hours’ sail of Sing pore Jt Reems that the rebel Admiral was not to be de- ccaved by the alloged ruse of the owners of the vessel to change her flag without changing her ownership. The boarding officer on the Alabama was suspicious of the character of the Martuban, and sent for bis supe- nior officer. Admiral Semm at once went on board bimself; ‘Went inte the cabin and demanded to see his papers. | Captain Pike handed him the register. After looking at the papers one minute he turned to the Captain and faid, “lam not to be humbugged by any shan papers. You ought to have this, that and the other,” meaning wome papers which the Captain does not now remen- ber, and said he should burn the vessel. In Semmes’ journal it appears that Captain Pike ‘was examined by Semmes as follows :— “It is stated in the present Bretish Register that Mr. k Currie ig the owner !”” “Phat ig as 1 onderstand jt" “Do you state upon your oath that the sale was a bona fide sale?” “1 de not state that.” “Do you not know that it ig intended merely as a cover to prevent capture 1”? “Yes, Ido know it” The journal adds :— ‘This closed the matter; nothing more was necessary.’ Under such & state of facta, the com) to this Court and ask to be indemnified for the direct Injury caused them by the burning of this vessel, For the government it is claimed that Captain Pike, who was s part owner. was vested by all the owners witb {uli authority to and did make gale of the ship to Mark Riddell Corrie, w British subject, resident in Mauimam, for the sum of 70,000 rupees, and on the Bame day executed and delivered to said Currie a bill of sale in regular form therefor. On the next day, the JOth of December, a certiticate of British registry was dusued, with the usual formalities, in the name of said Currie us owner, On the Lith of December s Cor- nie executed a paper writing purporting to be a mort- page on the sand ship and appurtenances to yhe com- plainants to secure to them, according to the terms Shereof, the payment of the gross sum of 80,000 rupees, money joaned, with interest at the rate of dve per cent, on the 10th day of June then next. Prior io the sale and pretended mortgage aforesaid— to-wit, on the 19th November, 1863—x charter-party | ‘was executed between the said Samuel D. Pike, master, and one Abraham Coben, also a resident of Maulmain and bever a citizen or resident of the United States, for the loading and conveyance of a cargo of rice from the uid port of Maulmaim to Singapore and the right de- hnvery thereof at the latter port on payment of one rupee and four apnas per bag of two maunds, equal to 164 pounds nek Afer the said cargo had been placed on board the sale and transfer to id Currie were made, in manver as above mentioned, with the appro- ‘val and co-operation of the said Cohen, be pay) half the expense thereof.

(A DEFENCK OF byane REPORTS SHOWN UP- ME CURIOUS PACTS ABOUT THE WHISKEY THIALS. Wasmnarton, Feb, §, 1876. ‘The statements in the letters lately published sn the | New Youk Hakaup from Atlanta, Ga, and Cincinnati, | Ohio, In all their allusions to the Secretary of tbe | Treasury, are absurdly false. | tis said that he has filled the Treasury Department with Keatuckians, while the truth is that but two ap- pointments have been made by the Secretary from that Stave—one the Assistant Secretary and the other the Chief Clerk. Both of these officers are gentiemen of | high character. The Avsistant Secretary is a graduate | of Yale College, was in the Same class with Mr Bvarts, is a lawyer of high standing at Bar of hws own State, was conspicuous for bis loyalty to the Union, and bac served his party in the State Senate with credit to himself and to the gatistaction of bis constituents. The Chief Clerk is a | native of Massachusetts, a graduate of Harvard and a | | brother of the author of “Old Sergeant,” with so many attachments still Binding bim to the old Common wealth as to make hin much more a Yankee a Kentuckian, He has but a short time vecupied the re sponsible and confidential position of Chief Cler is old enough in office to have demonstrated the w dom of the Secretary's Selection and to prove bimeelf an honest and capable officer. One other appointment, perhaps, to a subordinate position is that of Captain Adams, a native of Ohio transterred from the Interior Department. This corm prises the entire list of the appointments by the Secre- tary from that State since in office. In Kentucky friends ate inclined to complain that he ignores their claims, while the charge has been made, but untrathfully, about the poorest recomme: | von for appointment 1m the Tréasury Department \s that the applicant bails trom Kentacky or the South. In Washington gentlemen who choose to consider | him in the way of their Presidential aspirations charge, | | on the other hand, that he is using the patronago of | his office freely at the South and in Kentucky to ad yance his political interests. It is certain, therefore, that either General Bristow’s friends in that State are | badly mistaken or his enemies at Washington slander | | him, Both cannot be right, | | A word more on this point. It isa well known fact | that only two positions in the Treasury Departinent to | | which any patronage of consequence attaches are filted by triends of one of the most prominent avowed repub- can candidates tor the Presidency. While certain | otier candidates exclaim against this and say that | Morton is too highly preterred, the important custome _ ports of the country—Boston, New York, Philadelphia, | Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Or- leans, Chicago and San’ Francisco—are im every single | instance occupied by gentlemen who are open and ac- | tive friends of those who are well known to be, in | training for the Presidency | Besides this, it 1s true that in two conspicuous in- | stances gentlemen, ex-Governors of Western States, | now of large influence in their sections, have been ap- | pointed to vacancies im the Treasury Department | wholly without reference to any real or supposed polit | ical influences of General Bristow, | “in these cases, as in all others, the Secretary has | never stopped to inquire what the political affiliations | of bis subordinates are, He has only cared to ask, and | | has only asked in point of fact, if they were competent, honest and faithful, The truth ts the Secretary has re: garded with absolute indifference the preferences of his subordinates in that direction. He has, with great | good nature and kindness, seen without objection or | | feeling the patronage of his department used to advance | | the political fortunes of other candidates; he has also | | tolerated, im like spirit, the too partial and perhaps | overzealous friends, in bis own and other deparunents, | | who, in one or two instances, have ventured to suggest | that he bas some claims upon the country and the party | which it would be well to recognize im the interests of | good government and the perpetuity of the party itsell. | The intimation that the Secretary declined to receive | and act upon information from one Woodward until | Mr. Fishback, early in 1875, went in person to Wasb- | ington and reiterated all that Woodward had writte bas no more foundation in point of fact than the s) derous suggestions heretofore answered, The truth is that the Secretary of the Treasury !nau- gurated the investigation immediately upon receipt of information from reliable citizens and members of | Congress, as well us Mr. Fishback, that there were just reasons to Suspect the presence of organized fraud in | St Lous It isa well known fact ‘that the Comm! sioner of Internal Revenue had given Woodward a others every opportunity to expose the Ring; and on | the Ist of March, 1876, after having tried in vain all the | regular agencies at his control to get in upon and | expose the Ring, the Secretary directed the | | Solicitor of the Treasury to take charge of | the matter and turn loose upon it the Secret Service force under bis control. This officer was. in- | structed to Institute such investigations as might be necessary to test the existence of fraud, and if fraud | was cstablished to maugurate thereupon such steps as might be necessary to break up the corrupt combina- tion and bring the parties concerned therein to jus- tice. Mr. James J. Brooks, of the Secret Service force, « gentleman who had long experience in Investigating | frauds upon the revenue, was directed to co-operate with the local agents in St, Louis. | They were instructed by the Solicitor to exereise great care in their undertaking, to keep within not only the letter but the spirit of the law, and occasion honest taxpayers no Just cause of complaint. As to | the others, “you are’ directed to catch them if you can.” | The rogues were caught’ What s worse, have been | convicted; whpt is still worse, have been in many in- stances sent to the Penitentiary, and what perbaps is | worst of all, their :mfamnous political backers and asso- \e 18 iates have been or are about to be exposed. It is no wonder, therefore, that these same eminent statesmen are now busy in reiterating their changes aud insinuating that the Secretary is ambitious, and that although ne has done a noble work, done it weil, done bis duty, yet forsooth be bas done it because he aspires to be President of the United States. | Tt myust be the devout aspiration of every true repub- | Hean and every lover of his country that other aspir- | ante woald push their fortunes by the same noble and legitimate methods. The suggestion that the ‘wily Secretary” has put a | | bost of retain in office in Southern erties, notably in Kentneky, Tennessee, &c., has no other foundation than that stated in the letter iteelf. Kenneth R Oobb, a | notoriously corrupt and imeMicient officer, was super- | seded by Colonel P. ®& Hunt, albrave Union soldier | from Kentucky and theroughly honest man. It is a significant fact that no sooner had Colonel Hunt been ppolnied aud entered ee upon the duties of his ofice than the distillers at New Orleans, who are now beginning to feel the strokes of lightning, hastily shut up their distilleries, burned their books and retired from business, The insinuation that the transfer of Hunt to Brady's Indiana district and Brady to Hunt’s district had a po. litical motive is worthy, of the source from which it origynated, The truth is, the transfer was made solely because the Secretary was determined that no just occasion should be left for the charge that his own State and Tennessee had not been thoroughly examined for fraud in distilled irite, If other officers could bave been sent to these districts consistent with press- | * interests elsewhere it would have been done. ‘he result of the action of the Secretary is now mai fest in the fact that Mr. Brady is samirably comploung the good work inaugurated by Colonel Hunt, while Colone! Hunt bas rendered valuable and efficient ser- vice im connection with the late remarkable trials and convictions at Indianapolis, Buckner, of Kentucky, “Bristow’s foster father,” {t ts claimed, was appointed by the accommodating Secre- tary, and’ thatthe whole Buckner family—six in num- ber—h: been given positions in the revenue serv): lt is enough to say that Colonel Buckner was in ° at the time the Secretary issumed charge of the de- | partinent, and {t is true that not one single appoint ment bas been made by the Secretary tn comnection | with internal revenue affairs in that State The intimation that Bristow bas hit Logan through Dan Munn, strock Carpenter through friends at Mil- waukee, i that Jewell has baggea yr onion Ha In- dinnapolis, and that Blaine has received a shock through wind and water from the Foster letter, trom some pe- cullarity of Jewell’s mail system, 1s all of @ whole letter, and has no other foundation ¢ the fact that unfortunately the grand juries, acting under their oaths, have seen proper to indict Munn at Indiana- ols, certain Triends of Carpenter in Milwaukee, and oiloway at Indianopolis, The inference from all this is that General Bristow has also prostituted all the id juries of the country to his own eager political aspirations, | the | REARY BRISTOW, [MR JAY AND THE VIENNA scav- | | DAL.

As to the value of his advice and | suggestions it is vot our province to offer an opinion. If they have been read by the able gentlemen who have our Centennial Exhibition in charge, they will no doubt be estimated at their proper worth, We are only concerned with the fact that in these several com- munications Mr. Jay has made it a point to refer to and dwell upon the scandal and disgrace which was unnec- | essarily brought upon the American Commission at the Universa! Exposition at Vienna, in 1873, when eur | country was, as mapy think, uvfortdnately represented by bim as its Minister to Austria.

It is much to be regretted that the statement of Mr. Jay's report and the correspondence, as prepared by the State Department and submitted to the Senate, could not have been published; but it wag so yolumin ous, comprising about six hundred large and closely written folio pages, that that course was probably im- practicable. It is true thas Mr. Jay, in his last communication to your paper, says of this statement that there are “tm- portant omissions” in it, and that in other respects it is “curiously impertect and inexact’? and a master- piece in illustrating “how not to do it’? Ifthis were indeed so Mr. Jay should have whatever benefit the supplying of omissions or defects would give him, especially if the deplorable position in which he seems wo _have placed himself would be improved thereby. ‘With hie widely distributed censures and crit is of the President, Mr. Fish, and almost ‘everybody else, save himselfand the “crowned and titled heads” of Europe, who are the exponents of all the virtues, amenities and proprieties, we have nothing to do. Ibis to be regretted, however, that Mr, Jay should have seen fit to revive this unfortunate incident in his now opded diplomatic career, which, for the honor of the country and his own credit, might well have been allowed to slumber in forgetfulness. We certainly wish that we could have been spared the necessity of writing thie communication, for it is evident that his mind is under the. infinence’ of passion rather than of reason ; but bis repeated assaults upon General Van Buren, who is absent in Japan, in the service of the country, and whose honorable ‘conduct and integnty | we believe to be above suspicion, seems to demand that we should say so much as we have now said; and with this we dismiss the subject, with the intention of not recurring to it again, for it has been wisely held 40 be more useful to society to praise men for their virtues than to decry them for their faults, SAML, DRAKE SMITH, W.

The affair caused great consternation and for some time the excitement ran high, nearly the entire force at the bleachery near where the disaster took place turning out, together with a good portion of the residents of the village. The Oriental Bleachery is eup- phed with water from a pond along the side of which are situated tenements belonging to the company, a road | Separating the tenement yards from the pond, which | was covered with ice about three inches thick, but very rotten, Near the pond resides Thomas Smith and fam- ily, five of whom are employed at the bleachery, About four o'clock yesterday afternoon two daughters of mith, aged respectively seven and nine years, told their mother they were going out to witness @ funeral procession which was to pass on the otber side of the pond. The children hastened off, and were soon sliding about on the ica Presently, when about ixty fect from land, the ice gave way, and the screams of the little girls startled the neighborhood. Mrs. Smith suw the ebildren as they disappeared in the water, and, screaming lustily, dashed for the pond. She rushed wildly tn, and had not proceeded far before she, too, broke throngh the lea A litte daughter o ‘Thomas Barry, aged twelve years, endeavored to lend a helping hand, but also (ell through a hole, making four persons struggling in the water. The combined cries of the girls and woman wero heard for some distance, THE ATTEMPT AT RESCUE A son of Thomas Barry, aged about twenty years, and brother of the Barry girl who wag in the water, hearu the sereams while at work in the yard of the bieachery.. Leaving his employment he ran immed} ately to the scené, Hurrying dut the ice young Barry uscd his utmost endeavors to save the Smith girls, He reached the hole where they sank with great difficulty, bat suddenly broke through when within a few feet of them. He succeeded, itis bel! in laying hold of the children, but the burden toe much for the gallant fellow and he perished with the little giris In the meantime a brother of Barry's, aged fifteen years, also came from the bleachery and set about to save Mrs. Smith and his sister. He pushed a plank out te them but in doing 0 ventured out too far and sank upto bis neck. John H. Northup and a large crowd of others arrived at the pond about this time. THE RESCUE. Mr. Northup seized a small rowbost lying near the factory and pushed out into the water, He rescued Mrs. Smith and the others with great difficulty, and took them ashore They were thoroughly chilled, and bah rot for the recovery of the bodies were once begu Northup, with a couple of assistants, procured grappling books They dragged for the bodies some little time, and just before five o'clock the re- mains were recovered and brought ashore, The lamen- tations of the griei-stricken parents were heartrending, and there were not many dry eyes among the little assemblage of operatives, ail of whom be- spoke their sympathy for Mr. Smith and warmly eulogized young Barry. The Coroner was notified, but deemed an inquest unnecessary. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Northap for his efforts in rescuing Mrs. Smith and the Barry children. Young Barry was greatly excited when he reached the the pond, or he might have saved his own life the lives of the girls, for upon the bank was the rewboat used by Mr. Nortnup. He failed to see th: boat, however, in his excited state, and thus met bis death.

STATEN ISLAND VERSUS NEW JERSEY—A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE JERSEYITES, On Tuesday night some 200 lovers of sport assembled | at a well known resort on the Jersey Flats to witness a main between some well known breeders of Staten Island and New Jersey. The match consisted of a main for $400 and $10 each battle, each to weigh in eleven birds, It was the general opinion that Staten Island | would carry off the prize, as the New Jersey stock was | classed at @ discount, but the result showed that Jersey | birds still hold theif own among the feathered tribe. It was near ten o'clock when the sport commenced, every precantion haying been taken to admit no one who could not be vouched for. The pit was erected tm an upper room iv the building, but the most un- | comfortable portion of the evening's performance was | that the guests were obliged to stand, no seats baving been provided. After considerable difficulty in select | ing judges and a referee the sport commenced, with the following results:— VIRST BATTLE, Staten Island sent ina pyle and New Jersey a red- | black, each in weight 4 lbs. 6 ozs, The Staten Island- | ers were offering two to one on their favorite, which | was freely taken by the Jersey boys. Both birds were | | of English stock, and showed themselves game to the last At the outset Staten Island seemed to have things al) his own way, Both were badly cut apout the neck and head; but finally the Jersey bird caught the Staten Island on the right side of his head, laying him out in &m. lls. i SECOND BATTLE, Both sent in black and reds, in weight 4 Ibs, 435 02. This fight was of very short duration, The Jersey bird was evidently one of Ludlow’s best stock. While the betting was about even it was apparent to all the Staten Island bird had no show. After fighting 4m. bs. he went under, the Jersey bird retiring with but little injury. THIRD BATTLE. ‘The Stator Islanders sent in a blue-red, and Jersey a | spangle, in weight each 4 Ibs. 4 oz, The Staten | Islanders, somewhat chopfallen, as they had lost in | the two previous battles, still showed gome little nerve, and here and there gave odds, As the two handlers entered the pit both birds were sent to the front, A flerce and determined fight followed, which was continued until the close of the battle, neither side seeming to have the advantage, At last the Staten island bird got in aside cut on bis opponent, which left him a dead cock in the pit’ Time, Um. 45, VOURTH BATTLE.

The Staten Islanders now seemed to be quite elated over, their success during the last two fights and wero freely offering 10 to 4, which was quicaly taken by the Jersey boys; both sent in red-biacks, 4 Ibs, 2 oz This datble was: one of the most exciting of the evening; it was give and take from the word go. Both birds were weltering in blood, their principal punish- | ment veing about the head and neck. On the second dash the Jersey bird was blinded in the right eye, but, nothing daunted, he fought with great determination, and, catching his opponent on the left side, cut his throat completely open, winning the battle in 18m. 108, SIXTH BATTLE, Jersey sent in ared and Staten Island # gray, in weight 4 iva But little betting wok place en the battle, ag veither side seemed very confident fn their Sagan) that they were jo8tified in their opinion, fora brush or two disclosed the fact that the Jersey bird was a runaway; all efforts to bring bim to the front were unavailing, and the battle was finally awarded to the Staten Islanders, Time, 20m. ‘ SEVENTH BATTLE. Staten Island produced a pure black, Jersey a red; in weight, each Ibs. 120% A gamer pair of chickens never wore gaifs; cutting and slashing follewed every movement they made, and while at the start there was very little betting, yetas the fight progressed each side became more and more excited as they wit- nossed the fierce encounter. (dds were given on both sides on bets, and one Staten Islander offered 100 wo 60 that the Jersey bird would be beat; this was taken three times by a well known sporting man of Jersey City, At last the Jersey bird was blinded in both Cae bat making one strenuous effort, notwith- standing he was unable to see, be caught his opponent in the side, killing bim instantly, Time, 14m. 7a, KIGHTH BATTLE. Both sent in reds, each in weight3 lbs 100% This was the shortest battle of the evening A chance shot caught the Jersey bird in the head, which caused him to make a leap or two around the pit, and he fell dead in just three minutes. NINTH BATTLE. Jersey brought out a pyle and Staten Isiand a black- red, each in weight 3lbs. 9 oz Betting ran about even on the battle, but the Staten Islanders were giving odd: on the main. After fighting for eight minutes the Staten Isiand bird got a terrible cut in the neck, trom | which he never recovered. Time, 9m, 45, TENTH BATTLE, Both sides now showed up their best weight, 4 Ibs., each a red, and two finer birds were pever dropped into it, The betting ram heavy on both sides, the Staten Islanders offering heaviest odas. It was give and take for a long time, neither bird seeming to get the advan- tage of the other. Both were badly cut, and finally the Staven Island bird began to stagger and lost the battio in 16m, 7s., and the main. Notwithstanding the Jersey boys had won the main the eleventh battle was fought, which was also won by the Jersey bird in 6m. The following is the score:— SUMMARY. | New Staten Weight.

In order to carry out this break-neck amusement a silver gray fox was brought all the way from Virginia and lodged and fed for a couple of weeks or so in a convenient barn, where he was occasionally regaled on unfortunate bens and ducks, Our fox of yesterday distinguished himself for swift ness and cunning before leaving bis native State; for before he was captured there he gave the huntsmen a two days’ chase, On the second day of the hunt he took to a tree and jumped trom a limb of it to lead bis pursuers through forest and fen for a couple‘of hours longer. He was finally bagged and brought prisoner to Staten Island by Mr. Johnston a coupie of weeks ago. To chage thrs wary little animal to the death there as- gembled yesterday morning some dozen horsemen and thirty or forty pedestrians, the latter armed with sticks and staves to help them over the ditches or knock the prey to the earth. Among the mounted gallants were Messrs Witman, Donoghue, Ryan, Raythen, Lisk, Tranter and others. The bantsmen, accompanied by Mr. Donogh: pack of fox hounds, gathered at Four Jorners. ‘The snow covered the earth here and there, but on e ground which it was likely the fox would take the fields were bare and the turf not bad for the occasion, all things considered, ‘The frightened fox, when cast Joose in field, did not stand upon the order of his going, but at once dashed off in a straight line toward the nearest cover, Ten minutes elapsed before the dogs were let slip, and when this happened away went hounds, horses and men at the top of their bent Peli mell they rushed headlong, ‘devil take the hindmost,” after the sceot at break-neck speed. Ry: and Donogbue, of Hackensack, kept well to the front, | but sometimes led bya bold horseman or two, Soon alter starting the fox took a marsh, but was seen in thfee minutes afterward, and then ran the hunt over bills and through fieias, across fences and brooks, at a splendid rate, The dogs kept close to the chase for halfan hour. Mr. Donoghue and an unknown horseman were at the head of the hunt; ‘when, to the utter consternation of both dogs and men, | Reynard suddenly doubled upon his tracks and took @ black oak treé of about thirty feet in height, ich he ‘went up With the agility of a squirrel, ran out on one of the branches and there rested fora while Among the man) vans whose love of excitement had carried them hither was as certain “Jack Prerce.”” Pierce mounted the tree, truncheon in | band, to do battle with the infuriated and brave ani- | mal, fighting for iis life. Between Jack and Reynard the battle raged hot for some time, but Pierce did not | dare to close with the foe, and the ment was | terminated by the fox adroitly dropping himself to the nd, over thirty feet. prang to hie lege and made adash from among his circling foes. When from. the tree, Mr, Donoghue’ re- we him three minates’ grace to sbift for bimeelf. © wily little animal did not lose a second of this opportunity and was soon out of view again. The doge dashed through the cover and ov ry fields, followed and encouraged by the now qrelry bautemen, but up until a late hour tn the after. noon he was not ‘started, and wnen the scene of these active o ns was last looked apon the dogs were being recalled and the horsemen preparing to start home without the coveted brush.
