At the same time Petrarch will meet fresh and superior opponents in the Derby to those be vanquished over a Mile, notable among them being the Mineral colt, All | Heart, Forerunner and hye So ump! how- ever, are both layers and cers with the abilities of | whereas the former body are shy of Jaying more than 6 to 4, the latter are content to take aay extension of odds behind that old established tielder’s war ory. There must be a lot of covering money in the market for Petrarch in addition to that which his admirers will put on “‘at apy price,” so that unless something unforeseen happens 1 question if ever his market | “something unforeseen” befell him Thousand, so there may yet be troubled waters in his course bolore he will sail into the peacetul stream allotted to all Derby winners. In the lace of Petrarch the Mineral colt is backed with an amount of freedom which plainly evidences that confidence in the unnamed one’s abilities to de- feat the greut ‘crack’? ts by no means abated; for, not- withstanding the tremendous rush of Petrarch to 7 to 4, no correspondingly; retrogreasive movement is associated with the Mineral colt, Both to-day and yosterday, 100 to 15 was readily taken about “the som of Buccaneer, and at Taittersall’s on Monday so great was the furore in bis favor that just before the close of business he was backed to the same og as wo win some thousands of pounds at (he odds I have men- | tioned. Last year the Mineral colt and Petrarch were the | two-year. ‘herves of the back-end, and although the Mineral colt finished behind the Two Thousand Guineas | hero in the Middie Park Plate, 1 believe he lost so much start that bis deteat was quite excusable. In the Dewhurst Plate, however, he quite atoned for his Middle Park defeut, and beat a good tield over seven furlongs, which stamped him as a race horse and a staycr. Many of the best judges are still as fond of thd Mineral colt ‘as ever, and there will bo no lack of ‘‘tal- ent’’ bohind the Hungarian ready to vow by his prowess | over the Epsom mile and a half, That Petrarch will | bave someting far moro difficult to beat in the Min- eral colt than he had in the Two Thousand is certain, and to All Heart 1 may apply the same qualification. All Heart may, of course, upset all calculations on the argument which has throughout induced mo to regard him as likely to make a high class three-year-old. The running of Father Claret m the Two Thousand Guincas may not be of Much moment, as the colt was not greatly fancied, odds of 20 tol Cone Bg against him at the start. ‘With this exception, Lord Rosebery’s stable has shown great form this season, and there is an abundance of trying tackle at lisicy to gauge the Derby chance of the halt brother of Doncaster. The match between Con- troversy and Kaleidoscope will be decided next shen and if the old horse can polish off the young one 1. Rosebery would nave an additional guide to judge of the Derby p1 of bis much-improved chesinut colt, Meanwhile, submitting humbly, as every one ex- cept the most prejudiced must, to the unmensity of the claims of Petrarch, 1 yet do not feo! inclined to desert my jong-selected, and I hope trusty champion, All Heart. Witn such recent precedents, indeed, as George Frederick and Doncaster before one, it would be hasty to change from an old love toa now without ample and incontestible reason. Again, cn the 13th, the same writer thus briefly re- fers to the race and some of the candidates :— The furore in tavor of Petrarcn for the Derby shows no abatement. The contrary, indeed, seems to be the case, the short odds of 5 to 4 being taken in bi dreds yesterday, and there seems every probabili that John Dawson wiil train and John Morris rule t! winner of the blue ribbon of the turf for two aucces- sive years. I should be inclined, however, to wait a little longer before taki such short odds against fresh tackle. Meanwhile, the Mineral colt 18 firm at 6 to 1, and the very forward advance made by Pe- trarch bas not detrimentally affected the position of the unnamed son of Buccaneer, of whom, aa 1 have before stated, many of the best jadges at Nowmarket ar pecially tond, With Julius Cwear and Forerunner Rob- ert Peck is bound to be erous, for probably Julius Cesar may be better on the y Day, while, if Fore- runner is the superior of the pair, thore may be a chance of lowering the colors of Petrarch. At the same time, there is no getting away trom the lact that raroh was certainly as back- | Mr. A. Jay. | the umpire, | twebn the goals than those in blue. A number of the ladies had got down from the coaches and were now seated on campstogis in front of the marquee at the southern end of the grounds, where they enjoyed a pleasant shade and a good view.

Lord Mandoville’s side had the best of the game throughout, although Mr. Purdy at one time got ‘a lair start and in three strikes carried the bail pretty close to Lord Mandeville’s goal.

On the charge three players missed, and then Colonel Jay succeeded im starting the balland the play fairly commenced. The game was very st for after a sharp comtest in the centre of the deville party carried the bali up to Mi and by a clever hit decided the game, making the score stand 2 for Lord Mandeville, Some twenty or thirty cal had arrived dering the play, and were driving Up and down tho road outside the grounds. FUTK GAME Mr. Griswold officiated as‘ umpire and Mr. Bennett took his place on Lord Mandoville's side, while Mr. Francklyn filled the vacancy made by Mr. Thorne tiring from Mr, Robbins’ party. As soon aa they were ven the word ‘‘go," there was genoral rush for the | and a hot fight ensued, but the Mandeville party were decidedly too strong, as notwithstanding some very brilliant play on the part of Mr. Robbing the Mandeville side scored a third goal. Tho umpire was called upon to decide rather a close point in reference to this game, as the ball was hit be- and striking Mr, Francklyn’s pony bounded back outside. Mr. Griswold, however, very properly decided it a game, as the bad passed be ‘tween the goals, SIxTH GAME, Tho same sides took part in this , and @ great deal better contest ensued, as Mr. Robbins’ side made avery determined: resistance. Mr. Griswold, the uim- pire, came to grass twice, and on the last occasion bis Mount, an iron gray pony, took a little canter around the fiold, much to the delight of the gallery that lined the walls around the grounds. Aftersom? gooa play on the part of both sides, Mr. Purdy made another suc- cessful rush and brought the ball near Lora Mande- ville’s foal, but was ridden out and the battle carried nd of the grounds. Mr. Robbins Trojan and put off the evil moment, a were L0O Ged and the Mandeville ‘@ fourth victory, making the total score 4 SEVENTH GAME An interval now ensued, during which time a meet- ing of the membors was held and Mr, Robbins and Mr. Bennett were elected captains to choose sides for the match to be played next Thursday, on ths occasion of the opening of the new grounds, The aflernoon’s play concluded with a scratch game botween the reds coe blues, Mr. A. Jay, playing with tho reds, mado a splendid hit for the opening shot, driving the ball behind the goals of the blues, but unfortunately the direction was not true, and it failed to pass between the goals and had to be hit out again. After a minute or two more play Mr. Ropbins, the captain the reds, succeeded in hitting the ball throagh the biucs’ goal, and scored a game for the reds. 3° RIGHTH GAME. They changed sides quickly, and were soon engaged im another contest. It was hig | pleasant now, as the sun had just gone down over the trees to the west- ward, and the evening was cool and bulmy, After practising for about ten minutes longer the playors gave up, and, changing their costumes, took tneir seats inthe coaches and wero soon whirling pied home as fast as four horses and a ekiliul whip cot take them.

SIXTH DAY'S GESSION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION—-JOEN DAVENPORT'S RETORT—AN EXTBAORDINABY SEIZUBE OF NAVAL TELEGRAPHIC MATTER. The Sub-Committee of the Congressional Committee of Investigation on the Department of Justice yester- day beld its sixth day's session, all the members of the committee boing present. Marshal Fiske was recalled and tostified that he haa pever employed more than 2,500 deputy marshals, and ‘as to the cost of badges, he had the impression that they cost each about twenty-five cents; though he had got that impression he did not know; he always found in the office quite a sufficient number of badges; fm Marshal Sharpe’s bill to the government these badges were charged for at the rate of $1 cach, Luke Gedney, au omployé in the Post Office and a Supervisor of Election in the Fourteenth Assembly district, was examined as to the carriage bills for the election of 1872, He testified thas his bill of $33 was a “constructi¥"” one. Joba J. O'brien, who was a weigher in the Custom Houso in 1872 at » salary of $2,500 a year, alsoa Depaty Marshal and a member of the Republican Cen- tral Committee, tostified that he belonged to the Eighth Assembly district, whore it was necessary to watch the polls and preparatory arrangements, but he paid all his carriage bills himself; he did not believe that the late Police Commiasioner Smith was a republican at all; ho never held a sinecure under the city government; the voucher in Sharpe’s bill for $58 he pronounced correct. This witness was asked quite a number of questions as to the fairness of the elections, which wero of a general character and ofno public interest in the information supplied. Joseph H. Choate, the lawyer, who was Chairman of the Committee of Seventy’s Sub-Committee on Eleg- tions, testified that Davenport had charge during the election of all details as to putting tne ticket in the fleld and establishing the general order of the work; from October till after election Davenport made returns to the sub-committee at different times’ his bills were approved by Emile Sauer, who gave the check to wit" ness, who indorsed it to Davenport; after elections a settloment was effected upon the presentation of vouch: ers; in 1872 Davenport was employed to detect the frauds in the olection of William M. Tweed to the Senate; this work was very extensive and Davenport ‘was paid reasonably for it; the Committee on Fraudu- lent Elections audited these bills; Davenport's pay tor | the first job was $25,000; at that time witness did not know that ho was drawing money from the se- cret service judiciary fund, but supposed that he had some pay from the State Republican commitiee; after | investigation Davenport was exonerated from having | had anything to do with the suppression of the State | democratic ticket; the Union League Club employed Davenport, but not as extensively as the Committee of Seventy. Witness saw Davenport once at hi whon he was shown some of the campaign boo! then gave him $250 as a subscription toward the pub- Meation of these, believing that smalier subscriptions had been given, but did not know then that he was re- ceiving supplies trom the judiciary fund, Michael Crogan testified that ho was a clerk im the Sixth District Court, and in 1872 had been United States gauger, Chiet Deputy Marsbal also run as republican candidate fer Alderman; ten election he resigned as Deputy Marshal, but was feated for Alderman by the Committec of Seventy’s candidate, The testimony of this witness, beyond his holding these offices, was unimportant. Richard Edgworth, messenger in the Custom House, and ip 1872 a Supervisor of Election in the Tenth dis- trict, testified that he did not get any pay for his work as supervisor as he was drawing a salary from the Cumom House. It was oxpected that Jonn I. Davenpért would be ex- amined yesterday afternoon, and that gentleman pre- seuted himself before the committee in the very pink of smile and as quiet and collected as it four Congress- men bad not beon fuvestigating all his doings as an electioncering agent for the past week. HE THREW A BOMBSHELL INTO THE COMMITTEE before he left, and showed a manitest feeling of inde- endence as to the commitice’s efforts to expose any errors on hia part. He had been already sworn and was briefly examined at his own request in regard to ene point only. This was concerning the bills for car- riage hire, about which so much testimony had been ce the day ict wt It was sworn by the book, eeper of the New York Transfer Company that the total bill by the company. Mr. Davenport complain that he did not get a chance yesterday to set this ter right before it appeared in’ the newspapers, pom a letter, signed by the bookkeeper, Mr. hipmao, who had re: n the testimony on the pre- vious day, acknowledg the error and offering to come before the commitice to make such acknowledg- ment under oath. Mr. Cochrane informed Mr. Daven- port that, while the committee could not take official cognizance of the letter, still they would be glad to af- ford Mr, Chipman, the tookkeeper, an opportunity to correct his testimony. Mr. Davemport then retired, promising to send Chipman. . Jobn A. Sheils, chief clerk in Davenport’s office was next examined, He testified to the charges in the Office for searching and to the continuation of the old Fates, notwithstanding a recent law of Congr the foes for searching wore handed over to ¢ United States Commissioner since 1850, 4 which he himself fetained; did not retain any fees for searching; the fees, in his judgment, amounted yearly to something between $5,000 and $7,000; was paid | $2,125 a year salary, which came from the receipts of the office; in Mr. White's time tn th fow hei cases came in, onc of which, road case, was worth about $20,000; another, the Erie | case, about $10,000. The part of this witness’ testimony was in be a to the number of aeputy marshals sworn in by him im 1672. The point was that in the bill sent im Davenport charged for the admission of over 3,000 deputy mar. | sbals, and it was dosired to discover how many of | these had made oath before the witness; in a mar- nal note to the bill was the statement that over 700 been sworn in by witness and the rest by Daven. port himself; the witness could not remember how | many men he had sworn, but bad uot put in a bill or received any compensation for bis services; he bad Deen asked by Mr. Davenport to assist bim, as he was vory busy, aud he did so; he would not, howevor, say that the number given by Davenport was not correct, and he remembered having at the time gueswed ut the number whea Davenport asked him to make a return, The next testimony taken was that of Walter A, Gibson, editor of the Harlem Local, newspaper, who | some few years ugo lost one of bis eyes and had bis | otherwise gured by an assault made upon | bi In yeat "y HekaLD was given tho testi- mony of Mr. Haws, one ol the Grand Jury before whom Mr. Gibson a to complain that in station L | Post Office 130 copies of his paper were destroyed.

Mr. Gibson bas presented bis case to all the principal ofciais up to the President, but still has got no re- dress, He was treated kindly yesterday by Mr. Cauld- well, the member of the committee who examined im, and he totd bis story from the beginning to the end. He left the committee room to summon one of t¥e Grand Jurors before whom his case came, | and did return. This case will be somewhat fur- Mr. Cauldwell promised Gibson that it should receive the attention of the committce, The committee adjourned to meet to-morrow morn- ing at ten o'clock.
