THE NEW YORK ATHLETIC CLUB CLOSING THEIR SEASON WITH INTERESTING HANDICAP GAMES. The closing handicap games of 1878, under the au- spices of the New York Athletic Club, werc held on the club grounds, Mott Haven, yesterday afternoon, and proved very successful. Though there was a keen wind blowing from the north, and heavy outer gar- ments wore necessary, the seven or eight handred ladies and gentlemen who assembled to witness the events remained until the full programme was dis- posed of. The management was excellent. The run of 100 yards opened the games. Of twenty-three entries sixteen came to their stations in five trial heats, John ©, Wray, New York, 3)¢ yards start; H. M. Moore, Yonkers, 63 yards; M. H. Burch, Harlem A. C., 334 yards; H. P. Pike, Manhat- tan A, C., 83g yards, and W. C. Hall, Perth Amboy, N. J., 4% yards, qualified for the final. The struggle was particularly exciting, and Hall landed the winner in rare good shape by nearly a yard, Wray’being sec- ond, ten inches ahead of Moore. Time, 1034 seconds. W. McFaul, Fanwood A. ©. (deaf mute), was scratch man, and though he got off nicely was fourth in his trial heat. The ryn of one half mile followed, and fifteen eager young gentlemen of the twenty-eight entries were fouud on their marks, W. RB. Whitmore, Now York A. C., 12 yards start, ran with commendable judgment, and on the last lap went to the front and was never after- ward headed. He breasted the easy winner and with lots in hand. George 1, Whittakes, New York, 26 ae was second, and Alfred Varian, Knick bocker A. C., 20 yards, was third. Time, 2m. 12} W. E. Barnes, Short Hills A. C., was sorateh thongh on tho grounds ‘and alow in obeying the summons and was left behind. The novel feature of an individual tug of war fol- lowed. Of four entries two appeared—William B, Curtis, New York A. C., and ©. A. J. Queckberner, American A. C. It was the best two pulls out of three. Much interest was centred in the event. It took Ourtis just 153; seconds sped his museular opponent over the mark when they first came together. Then they had a long rest, other | games being meanwhile decided, and as they met for the second thore was great anxiety to obtain an excellent view of tho tuggers. Queckberner obtained good foothold and for # while troubled Curtis, imt suddenly the latter got ready for his effort and in a twinkling the Seottish-American representative was disk from his miniature rifle pit and Curtis never again gave him a chance, bnt pulled him almost double. It required Curtis Im. 246. to win pis final tug and make victory complete. In the dash of 250 there were fifteen entries and eleven starters. Six were in the fiual heat, and W. H. Douglas, New York, running in excellent form, landed the event by two yards from D. H. Steel, Greenpoint, 12 , second, and William Hendrick, Harlem A. C., 9 yards, third. Time of final heat, 23 The tug of war—teams of four men whose gross wags was not more than 600 pounds in uniform— next engaged attention. Five teams appeared—two from the Harlem A. ©., one from Mott Haven, one from the Greenpoint A. C, and one from the Scottish- American A.C. Harlem team No. bfirat pulled against the Greenpointers, the former being victorious in Im, 02s, Then the Scots and the Mott Haven boys appeared, the Scots making short work of their opponents, it requiring but 25 necond to win, Next the two Har- lem teams came together, and No. 1 had only siight oe winning, 46 seconds being the'time, Now Harlem No. 1 and the Seots responded for the final ie. Of course the teams were given required rest ween pulls, The Scots, true to their record, won in 41% seconds, amid enthusiastic applause, Win- ning Rae & J. Queck , captain; C, J, Leach, A. Thompson and M. Ryan. W. R, Stewart, New York, 4 yards start, won the hurdle race, one-fifth mile, in 51 seconds, beating four cues William Irvin, scratch man, was never in the unt. The 400 yards brought out a large field. L. E. Myers, 18 yards tart, eut down bis mon prot tily in the final heat, and landed the winner by two yarda in 55 . Ralph Voorhees, Greenpoint A. C., was ectatch man, but failed to win his trial heat. Nineteen started in the two-mile walk. G, A. Van- derhoof, Jr., Astoria, Im. 5s. start, won quite credit- ably, his actual time being 16m. 23s, P. McDonald, New York, 3m. 10s., was second, and W. Burt, New York, lin, 50s., third. W. H. Purdy, Greenpoint. C,, was scratch man, and flnished fourth. The tug of war for the championship of the Seventh regiment, N.G.8.N.Y., created great cnthusissm. Four teams appeared—representatives from K, ©, B and E companies, In the trial pulls © company’s ig Hes K company in 27 seconds; B company beat E @mpany in 45 seconds, and then Band C teams tugged for the final. If there was excitement in the deciding ‘pall of the other tug of war teams there was genuine enthusiasm displayed when the captains of B and © brought their men to the mark. Just 22 seconds were required for © to pull B over the losing crease and win the championship of the regiment. The losers were terribly disappointed, as they thonght de- feat impossible.

AN’ IOWA GASABIANCA. STORY OF A BRAVE LITTLE BOY WHO WAS BURNED ON THE PRAIRIES, [From the Ida County (Iowa) Pionéer.] But the saddest of our story is yet to come, The next day, Sunday forenoon, another fire was set a short distance from where the one the day before originated, and the wind being in the same direction, and blowing a great deal harder, the fire was driven parallel with the other. About one o'clock it had reached Grant township, and was coming at a furious speed toward the premises of Mr, B, F. Aiken. Mr. Aiken’s oldest child, # lad of fifteen summers, saw the fire storm approaching, and im: y mounted a horse and. galloped out into e'feld ey and save his father’s hay, which was in immrinent danger. The boy let the horse go, and took the blanket upon which he rode and wet it in the creck and thought to put the fire out while it was crossing. When the fire neared him it was so hot that he could not stand it, and started to run at one side with the hepe of get» ting out of the way of the main head fire, but he soon eaw that he could not get out of its way and knew that he must face the worst. With great prc ot mind the rave little fellow wrap, the wet blanket anpund his head and shoulders and turned and ran with all his might through the fire. It was but the work of s moment and doom was sealed, When he reached the burned =. the blanket dropped from him in pieces, and his nailless and almost fingerless hands he tore the remainder of his burning clothing from his body, except his s! which were crisp be to his feet, and there he #1 |, naked and scorched from head to foot, suffering untold agonies. His father, who was a short distance away, saw the fire aa it paased over his son. He ran his horse bbs, the side fire and was soon at his boy’s side. “Frank, are you badly burned?’ asked Mr. Aiken. fo, father, but let’s hurry home,” was tho reply, Mr. Aiken lifted the poor fellow upon the horse and started to lead it home, and holding on to the with one hand lost he might fall. They hi proceeded in this manner bnt a few "sto when the suffering boy ssid, “Oh, father, let ie have the reins—I cah't stand it to’ go #0 slow.” The father obeyed, and Frank ran the horse at full speed to the house, dismounted, tied the horse and went into the honge without assistanee. A neighbor immediately to town for Dre, Robinson and Walker, und in the meantime the almost dis- tracted nts were bathing him with tallow, which seemed the only thing to afford ease, ‘The doctors did all in their power to restore the suffering boy, but all was in vain. He died without a struggle at two the next morning. He was burned internally, which caused his death so suddenly. His limbs up to his kneos and elbows were so badly burned that the blood had ceased to circulate in them, and they were cold and dead long before the patient ceased to breathe. fis father, who stood by his bedside until lifo had fled, Narra asked hin to have courage, and th: brave little fellow would reply, “Yes, father, courage, and think I will stand it all right funeral services were conducted st the hall a, atethis place last Monday a weleiaee tie BK.

A very sharp thing was done at sea on the night of September 28, The Danish brig Johanna, laden with palm oil from the African coast, spoke with the bark Forest, of St. John’s, and the captain of the former ves- acl solicited that he should be taken off with bis crew.

A BUSY DAY PRECEDING HIS DEPARTURE—VISIT- ING THE POLLING PLACES. ‘The last day of Dean Stanley's stay in America was marked by unusual activity, even for him, In fact, for several days past he has flitted to and fro, recely- ing and being received, in amauner highly suggestive of that champion sight-seer, Dom Pedro, of Brazil. ‘The latter, however, rises at five every morning while qu his travels, wheroas the Dean sleeps three hours later. Yesterday morning he sat down to breakfast in the house of his host, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, at nine o'clock. A number of guests were present, and the occasion was marked by a pleasant interchange of courtesies. Before ten o'clock the Dean was in acar of the elevated railway steaming toward the Battery. Crossing the South ferry he found a carriage waiting to convey himself and the gentlemen who accompa- nied him to Greenwood }, the objective point of the trip. Notwithstanding the keen wind from Gowanus Bay, which whistled mournfully among the tombstones and whirled the dead leaves in heaps along the deserted walks, the party manfully climbed Vista Hill and it some time Tyithe of Dr. Robinson, the author of works on Holy Land.

P. di Cesnola, the Oypriate explorer, was t and pointed out to the eminent churchman antiquities he had un- earthed at Cyprus, including the second collection described in columns last summer, and which has not yet been placed on exhibition. Dean Stanley was loud in the expression of his admiration of the col » and expressed no little regret that the Briffsh government had failed to secure it when it was in their power to do so.

Henry Purton and some other ladies at the table of St. Francis Xavier's Chureh, accompanied the party in a hurried trip about the room. Some eplernnielng, young ladies, un- acquainted with the appearance of the Dean, engaged him en route to admire some tempting goods and en- deavored to secure his name for chance in the raf- fies. The Dean was surprised at the number of small. children present until he was told t! visit from the orphan asylum, Comparatively few of: those present knew who the Dean was until he had; departed.

ERSON, N. J.—EVIDENCES OF A BLOODY STRUG- GLE—A TRAMP SUSPECTED. ‘What may yet prove to have been a cowardly and brutal murder, but which has thus far been called an accident, yesterday threw the city of Paterson, N. J.. into a fever of excitement and for the nonce distracted’ attention from théall-absorbing topic of the elections, At eleven o'clock in the forenoon smoke was seen issuing from the second floor of the building in rear of No. 229 Marshall street, Thé floor is occupied by William Rafferty, a workman employed in the Passaio Rolling Mill, who lves with bis wife aud daughter, the latter two years old. AROUSED BY SHRIEKS, *' Atthe time the smoke was discovered Mrs. Raf ferty and her child were alone in the apartment, and their piereing shrieks attracted the attention of James Murray, who ocoupies the front building. Hurrying to their assistance he found the doors leading to the first floor locked, and returned for his keys. By this time » number of men had gathered in the yard, and when the door was unlocked rushed to the floor above, John Cahill, who fitsf ventured itito Mrs, Rafferty’s room, was stifled with the smoke, being restored to consciousness with no little difficulty, When the atmosphere had slightly cleared another man entered the poms and Kicked _out the windaw sashes, allowing the wind to blow away the remaining smoke, A HORRIBLE SIGHT. When the air had become enfticiently clear a horri- ble sight mot the gaze of th mn who gone to Mrs. Rafferty's relief, The poor woman lay on the floor in the agonies of death. Her clothing had been entirely destroyed, and her flesh, especially on the lower extremities, was burned to a crisp. In thé:mid-! le.of the room was a pool of blood, and everywhere, were traces of a terrible struggle, The walls and ceil- ing of the room in which the dying womun was found! and of the adjoining bedroom were spattered with blood, and the window sills were smeared, as if an ate tempt had been ‘made to eseape in that way. . Raf. terty was carried into the front building, the charred’ - flesh actually dropping from her bones. Death came to her relief ina few moments. Her husband, who was summoued from a polling plice in the neighbors hood, was well nigh erazed by the catastrophe, THKORY OF THE CHIME, , There seoms to be little doubt that Mrs, Rafferty, was the victitn of a terrible outrage. The stove tn the room where sho was found was not sufficiently heated?! to have set. fire to her clothing, and. the bloody evi-! dences of the death struggle in her apartments are, proof that her taking off was not accidental, The- thoory that finds most favor with her neighbors and the townspeople generally is that, sho was mortally, woundel by a desperado who sought to make her death doubly sure while at the same time concealing the traces of his bloody deed. What lends color to! this supposition is the fact that an ill-favorod mam) apparently a tramp, was seen to leave the house in which the tragedy occurred shortly before the arriv: of relief, Instend of leaving by way of the front’ yard the unknown man made bie escnpe soroge, ther vacant lots bordering on Main street. The police are actively investigating the mystery, and strenuous efforts: will be rfade to capture the fellow whore auspicious actions attracted the attention of those, who saw him on his way from the scene. ¢ ‘The littie girl, who was left in the rooms with her® Mother when! Mr. Rafferty went out in the morning,’ was found algaping in the bedroom, the bedclothea- covering her face so closely as to "have prevented her being awnkenod by the noise of the strnggle or the cloud of smoke that filled the apartments. ‘The afflicted husband js wholly in the dark as to the mo- tive of the crinie—for that a terrible crime has been committed there is little ground for doubt. Upto # late honr last night no further clew had been obtained as to the seen tii or motive of th¢ guilty party. An inquest will be held to-day. THE STRONG ‘LIBRARY.
