Mr. Goodwin, the stroke of the Columbias, claimed that at the time the foul was made they had crossed the line and were ahead, and that the judge placed on one of the steamers: to decide the finish moored at the dock was from 45 to 140 feet further off than the rules provided for, and that ne was unable to tell which was the leading boat, The releree decided without consulting tis judge (Mr. Tracy, ot the Nericid Boat Club,) that the Atalantas had won, although he was too far oft astern to be able to gee, A est has been entered by the Columbias = the Executive Board will bave to decide the ques- 2, H Hl FER ‘THE DIAMOND SOULIS. hes tho Mfth race aud brought out three contestants, viz:— Station, _ Name, 1B, Losee, N 2 James Wells.

His time was 6m. 291; Foote was second, in 6m. 343¢s., and Mills third in 6m. 43348. This brought the regatta to a close. BOATING NOTES.

[From British Whig, Kingston, Ont.] This yacht, of which so much has been saidand in which the interest of yachtsmmen is so generally eentred, arrived in the barbor to-day at halt-past one Q’clock. Very many had been watching for her for some days, and soon as her presence became Known—and it is astonishing how quickly the nows gained circulation—the docks were lined by persons in- (ont upon gaining view of the craft, which lay off the Marine Ratiway about 100 yards. She will remain here perhaps threo or four days, during which time she will be hauled out and her bottom examined and such fix- tures performed as will fit her out for the cruise and raco. in which she is about to engngo. She Bits most gracetully in the water and looks as saucy and rakish o8 the most enthusiastic sailors could desire. She is 107 feet ang over all, 24 feet beam, and will only draw 64; feet when in racin; trim. Her mainmast is 65 feet and her topmast feet long. Sbe carries a main boom 55 feet in length and will spread nearly 4,000 yards of canvas! She has feral ofsheer, and i the handsomest yacht, taking er all around, that we ever saw. Her bull is puinted k and her decks of a light straw color. She will probably be in fuil sailing trim next week. Her inter- bal arrangements are very good; the main saloon is of moderate size and surrou:ded by curtained berths tp 221 tons register, but 1s so sharp fore and aft as to make her room less available; however, she will ac- commodate forty-eight in her cabins. Her counters: tre pared. away very much and her stern overhangs H fect. This, with a rakish bow, said to be the sharp- tat on the lakes, gives her aeniae. appearance. A Jadies and gentiemen caine with her for a pleasuro cayenne to return by rail. Her crew consists of Gifford, V.C., RUY.C., captain; Alexander Yuthbert, sailing master; Cap) J. Brotherston, wigator; W. Stocker, mate; Charles Boswell steward; Fepsin J. Bryant, George Clancy, Charles Patterson, john Grant, Henry Boyd and Thomas Roberts, seamen. After getting her new topsails and rigging here she will to Quebec, where a new maintnast will be read: put into hes, the present one being found too small for such a large mainsai'!, which is said to be the largest ever made at Kingston. She has about two tons of provimons aboard her, which shows that they don’t ‘mean to starve. SIGEON SHOOTING AT HURLINGHAM.

THE BOIS DE BOULOGNE THRONGED. The Great Park Recovering from the Effects of the Siege of Paris. SKATING AS.A SUMMER AMUSEMENT. Polo and Pigeon Shooting the Popular Sports. EXCITING SCENES ON-THE POLO GROUNDS. —-— Panis, June 1, 1876, After two weeks of rainy weather and six weeks of a cold cast wind that seemed to bring the winter back again, and made evorybody resume the overcoats they had thrown off, as they supposed for the season, the weather suddenly cleared ap on Monday last, th sun came out bright and warm, and we began to bave a foretaste of what sunny June has in store for cs. People immediately cominenced flocking toward the Bois de Boulogne, and in the afternoon the Champs Elysées, broad jt is, seemed to be crowded go tull of carriuges that another one could hardly have found Place ; whilo the sidewalks were so full of promenaders of young and old, children, babies’ nurses, soldiers, idlors, loungers saunteriog up and down beneath tho trees or sitting upon the chairs and benches thata stranger might have been excused for thinking the whole population of Parts had turned out for a walk or a drive on the Champs Elysdea, Paris is as much affected by changes of weather as an old rheumatism or a flower. It isa kind of great thermomoter, whose bulb overflows when the sun comes out and pours its living contents into that mag- nificent avenue of the Elysian Fields and the Bois do Boulogne, where the temperature may be measured by the number of people with as great cortainty as on the tube of Fahrenheit or Réaumur. 4 VISIT TO THR BOIS. Let us push through the crofd, get one of those light open Victorias, just large enough for two persons, that are so pleasant and so cheap—a luxury unknown to New York—drop into the line, three deep, that is dragging its length Iike an endless chain up ove side of the Champs Elysées and down the other, and make our way to the famous Bors, Once past the Arc the mags of carriagos thins out somewhat, and we roll gayly down the beautiful ave- nue of the Empress, with its broad patches of grass on each side, over which movable fountains are dashing spray in tmy showers; flower beds clamps of bushes and plants, all watered, trimmed and kopt in the most perfect order. We are soon past the fortifications and out into the Bois, The trees here for the first 300 yards are mere bushes and shrubs, that re- Place but poorly the growth of fitty years that stood here béfore the seige of Paris. But soon we come into that part of the wood which was spared, and here the trees are comparatively old and Jarge. The road winds through thom 1m broad, bold cirves, and branches off in diferent directions in many devious turnings that are lost beneath the thick green foliage, Fora time we seem to be in the middle of some DENSK AND UNPREQUENTED FOREST, and to Jook around us you would not suspect we wore, after all, 60 neat the great city of Paris, For we are quite alone here, and we hear nothing but the rumble of our own whi over tho soft ground and the chattering of the magples and other birds overhead among the leaves. After a while we come to an opening and cateh a glimpse of blue sky; then we come suddenly around a turning. Our driver pulls up short and stops, and we have a very pretty and strik- ing scene before us. ‘A green level prairie, several acres in extent, on the edge of which—almost among the bushes—a tent, with several people ana horses standing about it, In the middle of the prairie a little lake lying calm and placid in the sunsbine and extending far enough on one side to meet the wood, whose embroidery of foliage is reflected in it in am delicate fringe of lace work., On one side of the prairie, near the tent, arc a couple of upright poles with red flags flying from them, and 200 yards further away two more with blue flags. Betwoen are a number of horsemen gulloping madly about, with long handled mallets in their bands; now dashing savagely at each other and all coming together in a Heap; now separating and scattering in all directions; again dividing into two different camps and charging down like two cavair; Tegimonts trying to overthroweach other; then ail dasbing forward ina apparently giving the chase to ove of their number who is making desperate efforts to escape the maliets of his enemies and at the samo time striking frantic blows at a white ball that is roll: along the ground infront of him. These horsemen ar al! dressou in bright colors of red, scarlet, blue, green, pink, yellow, that show very bright in the sun- shine, and keep forming, as they rush together mm grow & continually varying bouquet of rich and glowing colors that are enciosed and set in the framework of green foliage through which we seo them. Far away in the distance the dark moss of Mount Valerien looms up against the sky, tho one spot of shadow in this bright and animated picture. IT 18 TUR GAME OF POLO that we have before us, and the little prairie and lake hid away here iu the middie of the forest are the js of the Paris Skating Ciub, or Cercle des sneure. ‘This club, it should be understood, has nothing to do with skating rinks, which are just now all the rage in Paris as well as London. When thoy skate at all it ta upon real ico in the winter and in the open air, and they save sone of the patent arrangements for maki 10e immer which have veen introduced into some of the Looaun rinks, There is consequently very little skating done here. There are rarely more thav two or three weeks in the year when the Weather is cold enough to form good ice, and the term “grounds of the skating club’’ is rather a misno- mer. The plnce hag hitherto been more devoted to ren shooting than anything elso, and in face it ie nown to all ihe cabmen of Paris as the fir auz Ali the members of tho club are well’ known spot on, and pass most of their time between Paris, Pau, Gannes aad Spa, at one of which place; most of them inay generaily be seen. “Since pojo has come into fashion they have gono {nto the new game heart and soul, and in the grounds of the skating club they have found a field niready made to \d admirabiy adapted to polo playmg. In fact, no moro plensant placo could bo conceived tor this and exhilarating sport than the little green club, hid away here in the heart ORDO. certainly a delightful and faset ndorstand that nobody, alter ting game and ng once tasted of th delights of polo, should ever after care tor bili- jardgor avy other indoor game, Alter the hot, close ulti room, With its potsuned air, heavy with tobacco stnoge, the fumes of drink, the beat of barning gas and Give exhalations from haman Ju! what a delizht to ¢ part in a healthy and athletic reiee, a man: andBxciting sport, requiring horsemanship, strengt of , skill, quickness of eye, prompt decision and nce of mind, played on horseback on a green 1m the woods, in the open air and sunshine. Is y wonder (< shoaid have become so popular as to powered and borne down a pony of weaker and less seertatia nature, skaine bullae 2 Sy ‘raza was finally ob! to give up the attem |. On Wednesday lust M. Ephruzy Bale: Wamstiul itis roan pony that showed a very decided disposition to jearn at rst, but which, having received ap unlucky blow from a mallet on the left ear, decided apon intro- dueimg a new method of playing by going exactly the opposite direction from the ball, and carrying his rider in all sorts of directions butthe right one. M. Ephruzy finally blindfolded him and played bim a while in that Way; but as in good piaying as. inuch depends upon the good will and sagacity of the horse as on it of the nder, that plan was manilestly doomed jure, and im fact the pony soon came off victorious, as the at tempt had to be abandoned, POLO IN FRANC There are altogether in Puris only about thirty polo players, a number than may be met with in many Ol the provincial towns of England, Either because the Engish are bolder rid and tae to tho Sport more readily than the French, or because the country life of England is more adapted to it, #1 sport las taken a far r hold there than in France, Although the game ts played in Pau, Cannes and Spa, the players are lor the most part the samo who are now playing in Paris, and there are probably not nore than Olty players in France, all told, But those are so enamored of the sport and play so much that many of them find it tb have four and five ponies in order to not overwork them, T cannot say that many of the pon dogree of training a# yet, though the 801 of thom that give proof of a great deal of sagacity. Mr. Ridgeway, for instance, has ono that followa the ball with scarcely any guidance trom his rider, who can thus devote bis whole attention tv the movements of his enemies and the chances for a favorable blow. The ciever little brute approaches the bail always on the left side so as to allow the pluyer to ase his nght hand; follows it ata mad gallop wLen struck forward, and sto; wbort and turns around when it is knocked ‘kward, With such a pony it is no wonder that Mr. Ridgeway plays well Mr. Louis Errazo has avery wel! traimed black pony, though it 1 somewhat too tat and rather large to bo nandy, And M, Couturié has a mustang that seems disp to learn, though it 1s likewise too iat and heavy to play weil. BKOINNING THE SEASON. On Monday, the 20th of May, tho first serious match Of the season was played. It being a very tino day, aud the hour being tive in the afternoon, instead of « in the moraing, a great number of carriages bai gi ered along the road leading past we ae and tho playing was witnessed oy # large and.fashionable crowd Shat caine out from Paris to see the first match of the season, lt was piayed by M. Brinquart ou one sido, who cboso MM. Eplruzy, Riggs and Gaspard Errazu to help bim, and the Vicompte Tanzé, who chose Ridgoway, Hennessey and Louis Krrazu. Ten games were played in all, lasting two hours, or an average of about ten minutes to each, though some of thom wero much longer and several very much shorter. The score #tood when they finaily stopped :—Brinquart 6, and De Tunas 4 % On Wednesday another match was played at ten in tho morning, with very few spectators owing to the early hour. ‘The two camps were divided as folloy Brinquart, Viscomte Gaspard Errazu. Ridgeway Riggs. Louis Erruzu, Ephrazy, Couturié, The playing was very animated, and each game, as a rule, hotly vontested, though two were played in less than a minute each, Une of these was won by Brin- quart, The gaine was opened by him and Caapare Erragu, who dashed at the ball from opposite sides, Errazu getting the lead and the first stroke, which wat however, avery bad one, that scurcely moved the ball a jew feet. Quick as tpought Brinquart wheeled his pony, got the ball, knocked it three-tourthe of the way across the feild, and, with his four adversaries close on his heels, followed’ up his advantage,’ got the ball another knock, just io time to take it from Ridgeway, whose malles whirled bootioss in a circle overheud, and his pony dashed through between the posts almost at the same instant asthe flying ball. The ne only Jasted about thirty seconds, and nobody but Brinquart himself got a stroke. Ridgeway made several very brilliant rans and pat tho ball almost between the posts several times, but ‘was always stopped just in tho nick of time by one of his adversaries, Couturié also won one game very brilbantly by get- ting the ball and putting it half across the field, toliow- ing it up and putting it through the posts by a happy hit, in spite of the frantic efforts of his adversaries. Gaspard Erraza also did some good playing und won one very hotly contested game that lasted more than twenty minutes, Ten games were played in all, and the two camps ‘were so equally matched that the score stood, when they loft off at noon, just 5 to 6, So far as I have seen they do not play nearly #0 desperate a game us the Kngl'xb. The latter ride far more boldly avd show less consideration tor cach other than these players. The French do not try to nde each other down, and they are far more careful with their mallets. I bave not beard of any accident here; tres in mak bo there have been any number of roken heads, kneccaps bruised, bad falls, to say nothing of accidents to the pomes. The consequence 18 that polo here {s less exciting and likewise loss dan- gerous than io England, but it is nevortheless still ox- citing enough to mske it take the lead among all ath- from the neighborhood of the Lachine Rapids, rear Montreal, are good specimens of their class, but when ae out in feathers, krickerbockers, zebra striped searlel and white guernseys, and with cheeks be- daubed with ochre, as at Hurlingham, they are no ox ceptions to the rule, At home they are stapcb con- servatives, devout Roman Catholics, sit on Windsor chairs and arc more uddicted to smoking bird's eye to- bacco than to brandishing tomanawks. They speak their own Janguage and a jambie of English and Cana- dian French, dreas in tweed and pilot suits, are indus- {rious and are mostly occupied a4 boatmen, lumber- men oF fishermen on the St. Lawrence. Civilization, as represented by the Canadiaus—a set of well-built, handsome gentlemen, in a sort of cricket dress, with a thoroughbred air about them, lither, tal-er and youuger than the copperskins—came well ‘out of the compar- igom. These scivns of British stock bave not degen- erated. They are tough of muscle, long of wind and Cun run and throw better than their heavier, thicker neighbors of Cuaguawagha. At i they could not, Dut now practice bas borve its fruit, and they have learned to play into each hands—a great point in a game requiring generalship like lacrosse. LINGERING PANCIN®, Al wrote you belore, the Indiuns with the long and Onpronouxceable names are the favorites of the visitors, There seems to be a growing disappointment when it emonstrated that the white men can defeat the red in ther own games. All the idulatry with which wily savage, as such, has been regarded is swept away when the enthusiastic reader of tho *‘Leather- stocking Tales” finds that the sagacity of tho white we 4@ more than 4 match’ for the cunning of the red- skin. TUB PLAY, With the exception of the tirst one the games were much shorter than any which I bave seen the contend- ing twelvo play since they caine to the British Isles. Whether it was that the white players displayed more @uergy vr that the Indians played jess carelully, | do ot KDow; butcertain it 18 that gouls were scurod in a way Which would have made a spectator of the forty Miautes’ game at Glusgow stare in amazement. Soon alter tho arrivai of she teams the goal flags were set np. Each of the poles is surmounted with a mas- sive silver beaver, aud the fags are embrvidered with the proud motio, “ulli secundus,”” a motio which has been fairly’ earned, a® ior’ three years the Montreal Club has preserved them untarnished by a single deleat. The game us played by those teams las been so Lully described on several occasions in the MEKALD that 1 do not feel justitied in und King thing vt the kind now, The wonderiul skill with & good player can twist and turn while carrying the bull im bis crosse, or once surrounded toss it io a com- panion player, or by « “simple twist of the wrist” burl 16 100 yards through the wir toward the goal, must be seen to be believed’ in, The tollowing brief extract, made trom a very interesting little treatise upon tho game published by Dr, Beers, describes A SOKNE IN SOMK FORMER GAME which will apply equally well to this occasion:—“The play of the Indians was ¢speciily interesting. To no part of tho ground was it possible to throw the bail thataredskin was not there totake it. ‘the white men, on the other hand, played thorouybly well and more systematically, There was litle of the inde- youn skirmishing which characterized tue lroquois, It Was murvelious to sce, a8 the ball for tho first time flow up in the air, those statues spring inio life in- staptly. Tho fold was dotted with groups of struggling figures, now runuing in joatiing knots, now fauning out in swifl lines’ like skirmishers before a grand army, Now ane then there would break away from tho rest a sivewy subtle runner, who, winding aud twisting like a ferpent, Would dash between the eager ranks of bis rivals, avoiding every blow; now stopping, now leaj ing; uw turning quick a8 4 greyhound aod art(ul asa fox, and then, as tho ball was shot between the crimson flags of the Siontreal meu, the Indians would give # war yell tnat echoed again.” THR VIRAT GOAL. The match began at three o'clock by the players tak- ing their positions, The ball was as usual tossed into the centre of the field aud the ‘muss’ commenced. Cousiderable skill was exhibited in throwing the ball sometiines enormous distances, and at other times it ‘Was passed Irom one to another crosse-man with a ra- pidity which distanced the flectest runners, ‘Tbe con- stant manwuvres used to evade an opponent showed that the game was one in which experieuce could be the only sure teacher, After a well-contested struggle the bail was eventually driven between the goal posts by G. 1. B. Greene, of the Montreal Club. THR SECOND INNING, after a short rest—made necessary by tho length of the preceding game—the Iroquois scemed determined to secure a gual at all hazards, Some really lively play was the result Xaronaire, atias the “Blue i Shakoseataketo, the “Groat 3 of the tribe, maniully contended | with the pale faces, and in a short time “ho of the un- pronouncabie” secured a goal. It ever, in point ot speed, that the Canadian gentlemen were fur superior to their opponeuts, and before the game terminated the club team made two more goals, and were thus the winners by three to one. Tho Montreal mon play with the greatest fairness and good humor, and, oxceptin one respect, the lo- dians follow their exampie. There is an old rule of whist, When in doubt, lead a trump,” and the favor. ite Lodian maxim seems to be, “When in doubt, make @ quict cut with the crosse at the nearest part of your opponent’s person,”’ THE POLO MATCH, letic sports, A very interesting match is looked tor on Friday next, when a great crowd of spectators will probavly be prosent, and during the rest of the season matches will be played regularly threo timesa week— on Mondays, Wednesdays und Fridays, LACROSSE AND POLO. RECEPTION OF THE CANADIAN LACROSSE TEAM BY MEMBERS OF THE FASHIONABLE CIRCLES OF LONDON—ASSEMBLAGE AT HURLINGHAM— THE CONTESTS—-AN EXCITING GAME OF POLO— SIR BACHE CUNARD’S RECEPTION ON THE GROUND. Loxpon, June 8, 1876, Harlingham Park is certainly the moss delightfully located private garden near London. Situated on the Thames, asbort walk and shorter drive down the river from Putnoy, it possesses all the solitude and stiliness of the country with the exquisite charms of city luxuriance. A largo end comfortable club house ig upon the grounds, Smooth gravel walks and evenly trimmed lawn. Ancient oaks of half a dozen conturics spread their branches over the cosey rustio seats which nestle around their trunks, Beyond flows the placid Thames. Almost across the river are the long nd stately series of buildings—familiar to every one as “The Cedars’—where the rowing men of Cam- bridge sojourn during their stay at Putney. About halt mule above Hurlingham House, on the same bank, stands tho famous white mansion the scene from ‘whose veranda has been roproduced by in all parte of the world—the balcony scene in ‘ mosa; or, the Road to Ruin.’’ Further up, along ‘‘the course” of the Oxford and Cambridge race, is Uraven Cottage, which figures in ‘‘Dombey & Son.’” THR WHEREFORE, The oceasion of the gathering at Hurlingbam this afternoon is the rival attractions of a game of lacrosse between the visiting teams from Canada and a polo match, in which some of the best known young gentic- men of England play, and in which J. Brocklehurst, RH, G., the acknowledged champion of the British Isles, is to load ono of the sides, REVIVED, ‘j Strictiy speaking, lacrosse is a gamo new to Eng- tavd, although it hes been seen here before. some es me ago lacrosse was played for a short timo at Bxnwend, but 6 was soon abandoned. Last year, however, Dr, Archer, a inomber of the Thames Haro and Hounds, who had ed a good deal in Montreal, introdaced ft at Wimbledon, and several members of the club took it up very warmly. Three or four other clubs have also been jormod in diferent parts of the United Kingdom, THK OVATION. . i The reception of the Moutreal and Iroquois visitors ‘was extremely flattering in the highest extrome. The Promenade on the western side ‘ot the field was thronged with ladies in gay holiday attire of the rich- | est Jabric and make. Theso fair faces made up a charming foreground, beyond which the natural beauties of the piace were seen ‘nm great variety and cir- cumstantiality of detail, Tho assembly was fully equel to any that has graced the picturesque grounds of this aristocratic club during tho past two or three seasons, It bad been promised that the Prince and Tho fleld was at once cleared ut all stray pockethand- kerchiets, pieces of Buffalo bair and boot heeis and tho polo game was announced. , ‘The teams were :— ENGLAND.

Inre Robinatemn the London Atheneum says:—" An original mind with unparalleled physical powers has il- Justrated the pianoforte composition of ancient and mod- ern masters in such a manner ag to throw a new light on the:r works. Herr Rubinstein has the faculty of seiz- ing upon the notation he interprets from memory and presenting tt under a fresh aspect. If he astounds by his fortiesimos he charms by his pianissimos; no pianist has ever approached him in the production of grada‘ions of sound, Most strikingly was this tllas- trated in his ‘singing’ of Chopin's ‘Bercense,’ and his management of the crescendo aud diminuendo in the Turkish march, Asn tone picture, his descriptive performance of the ‘Er! King’ was almost appalling in its vividness. It requires Titanic hands like those of Rubinstein to iilustrate the ‘Hungarian Rhapsody’ of Lisa, or to realize the bravura passages of bis own waltz” And yot we wore accused of being too enthu- aiastic when the Russian pianist was here, A deplorable ecene occurred at the theatre at Nico, a short time since, during a performance of ‘La Chalet” Alter tho duet between tho bass, M. d’Herd, and the tenor, M.

Duplessis remained unmoved, jooking at the infuriated public with an air of de. riston, At length the curtain was dropped, The manager now came forward for the ee of calming the agitation. His eflorts were in vain, The public insisted on the offender’s making an apology, in compliance with their wish M.

AUGUSTUS HEMENWAY, OF BOSTON, A cablezram received in Boston yesterday announces the death in Cuba, on the day previous, of Mr. Augusius Hemenway, of the well known shipping Orm of Hemenway & Brown, Boston, and Hemenway & Company, of Valparaiso. ‘Some fourteen years ago Mr Hemeuway was rendered insane on account of a fear that he was to be financially ruined in consequence a heavy South American failures, but a few months sinos he suddenly recovered his reason and at once resumed business, “He was one of the heaviest of American shipowners and within a short time lad pro- cured the building m England of two large ocean steamers, which are to ran between Boston and South America, He was only sick about twenty-four hours, Lis complaint being 1m the form of anervous cholic.’ He was about seventy-two years of age, anative of New Eugland. When a Jad entered a dry goods store in Charlestown, Mass, where hi natural abilities for business attracted the notice of the late Benjamin Bangs, who was then engaged in the South American trade. Young Hemenway. was taken into his employ, apd was sent to Valparaiso, whero a his agent he acquired a thorough knowledge of the trade, and pot long after began business there on bis own acconnt. He was very success, ful, and im the course of years amassed a large fortuue. Incessant application to businoss impaired his health, and about sixteen years ago he suddenly began to develop a species of mania as & sult of an overworked brain, as stated above, He wag then compelled to give up all businss and retired to Litehtiei, Conn, where he was plaved in the care of a puystcian, giving signs of a hopeless insanity, He continued in this stace for several years, when the dis- ease suddenly disappeared, much to the delight of his family and friends, His case was considered a pecu- har one by meaical men, Aitor his rehef from this strange attack he enjoyed good health, and was appar- ently in full possession of his facultics. He was inter= ested in the ownership of copper mines in Souta America and wlgo owned a sugar plantation in Cuba, GENERAL E. 2B. BAGWELL. A private lettcr from Accomack to Richmond, Va, announces the death, on the 13th inst., of General BE. R.

Sait For many years ho commanded steamships in the Baltimore, rfolk aud Havana line, and lator, about 1850, the steamer Isabel, plying between Charles. ton ana Havana.

A FEMALE FIEND, A SERVANT GIRL CONFESSES TO HAVING POT- SONED THE CHILD OF HER EMPLOYER On the 2d inst. Nicholas Hoynes, the proprietor of a lager beer saloon at No, 39 Third avenue, buried a bright little boy of seven and a half years after an ill- ness of about one month, the cause of death being, it was supposed, scarlet fever and inflammation of the kid- neys, The attending physician made out the neces gary certificate of death to that effect and the body was interred in Greenwood Cemetery. Yesterday a confes- sion was mado bya servant girl m the family named Aucusta Kasson, aged nineteen years, that tho child was poisoned by her. The story, however, must be taken for tho present with some little caution, as m suspicion exists that tho girl is insane Yet the manner in which she told the story of the dreadful crime gives it an appearance of truth. The mavner in which the discovery was made is as fol lows:— Shortly before seyen o'clock yosterday morning Mra, Heynes was called to the bedroom of the girl by cries of pain, Sho acted as if quite til, and on being asked the cause, answered that she had taken poison a littie while betore jor the purpose of ending her lite, Mra, Heynes became alarmed and burriedly sent for Dr. Raede, who administered magnesia and other counter ting medicines. ‘The girl expianied that the poiso had taken was oxalic acid, and pointed to acap anding on the mantel to corrovorate her statement, Dr, Raeflo examined it and found traces of the poison, It bad been in the houre for several week! by the family for cleaning copper kettles’ work, Alter the physi had brought his pattent out of danger he took his de re, promising to ro. turn later in the day leit the girl called her mistress to the bedside and fn a solemn and improssive voice said, “Mrs, Hoynes, I have a terrible secret to tell you, but you must promise never to ill use me tf I tell it.'? Wondering what the seoret could be, Mea. Heynes gave the promise, Then the girl ree lated that a few hours prior to the death ot little Char. ley she had GIVEN MIM A DOSK OF THE SAME POLSON with which she intended to take her own tile. Point ing to tue empty cup the girl continued, ‘and tbatu. the very cup out of which I gave it to him.” Hardly crediting her senses, Mrs. Heynes harried alter her husband, to whom she related the cor fession, The police were promptly notitie |, and Coroner Eickbufl was Bummoned to the house, To him tho girl made a formal confession, whicn he copicd. She stated that sho gave the child the poison because sh od to see him act “queer,” and further said that afew days afterward she gave somo to a pet cat in tie house that died in ten minutes from its effects, The family corroboyated the latier statement as they marvelled much at the time as to the cause of death of the oat And suspected that it oad been potsoned. After the confession was copicd and the girl suilicrently re covered, the Coroner had her committed to the Tombs without bail to await further tnvestigations, At the same time he forwarded a request to the Brooklys authorities io have the body of tue child exhumed tha a post-mortem examination might be made, ‘Auguata Kaxson entered Mr. Heynes’ employ on the 10th of May, having come froin the intelligence office ot Mrs. Bloch, near by. For the first week she worked laithtuily, but after that she did not give satisfaotion, and Mra, Heynes Ubreatened to dismiss her, Of her an- tecedents bit litte = known She came into Mra Bloch’s office on the day of her engagement and offered reterences, but Mrs. Hey nea, liking her appearance, did hot insist on any. Dr. Ruetle, who attended the deceased, stated to the reporter fast night that he could hardly believe thi child bad been poisoned, as it snowed no symptoms o| death trom that cause. Dr. Lillaana was in consulta. tion with bit in tho case and both were convineed that death resalted from seariet fever and inflammation of the kidneys. His onty theory was that the girl was insane, and yot he admitted that she did not present any evidence of insanity when ho treated her yoster- day morning. ‘The post mortein examination will be mado to-day, WHERE DELIA M'DERMOTT IS?
