How the Government Is Assisted in Funding Its Debt. EFFEC! OF INCREASING GREENBACKS, Wasnrnaron, Nov. 20, 1878. The sixteenth annual report of Mr. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of the Currency, contains a table, in compliance with the act of February 19, 1873, show- ing the total average capital aud deposits of all State and savings banks and private bankers in the country for the six months ending May 31, 1878.. It shows the number of State banks to be 853, with an aggro gate capital of $124,347,262; deposits, $229,182,625; number of savings banks with capital, 23, hay- Ing an aggregate capital of $3,237,342; deposits, $26,179,968; number of savings banks without capital, 868, with deposits amounting to $803,299,345; number of private bankers, 2,856; capital, $77,798,228; de- posits, $183,832,965. The whole number of State banks and private bankers is 4,400, with an aggregate capital of $205,380,000; deposits, $1,242,790,000, The total number of national banks in existence on June 29, 1878, was 2,056 with a capital of $470,390,000; deposits, $677,160,000, making the total number of banks and ‘Private bankers in the country 6,456, with an Aggregate capital of '$675,776,000 and aggregate de- posits of $1,919,954,000. ‘The total number of national banks organized since the establishment of the national banking sysiem on February 25, 1863, to November 1 of the present year 4s 2,400. Of these 273 have gone into voluntary liqui- dation by vote of the shareholders owning two-thirds of their respective capitals and 74 have been placed in ‘the hands of receivers for the purpose of closing up their affairs, leaving 2,053 in existence on November 1 of this year. Included in the aggregate number or- ganized are 9 national gold banks, located in the State of California, which redeem in gold coin their circulating notes at their places of issue and in the city of San Francisco. ‘These have an aggregate capital of $4,300,000 and an aggregate circulation of $1,468,920. During the past year 28 banks have been organized with an authorized capital of $2,775,000, to which $1,598,800 4n circulating notes have been issued. Wifteen banks have failed within this period, having an aggregate ecapital of $2,712,500 and 41 banks, with a total capital of $5,200,000, have voluntarily discon- ‘tined business. THE NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM. The report is accompanied by numerous tables, phowing the resources and liabilities of the national Danks at various periods, &. He refers briefly to the origin and growth of the national banking system and the: answers neretofore given to the principal arguments against its continuance. He says:— ‘The establishment of the system was not advocated im the interest of any political party, and it has been free from the control of partisan or sectional in- fluences, its benefits being now open to all who desire to engage in the business of banking. ‘The opportunity occasioned by a great war was seized upon im the interest of the government to get rid of a circulation issued by authority of many different States which had been almost from the beginning of the government a grievous tax upon the business and the commerce of this country. It was shown from the decisions in Congress at the time of the passage of the Legal Tender act, from the reports of department and from the uniform legislation since that time, that the national banking system was intended to be manent, the institutions organized under it being the express terms of the law authorizea to con- tinue for a term of twenty years, while it was equally evident that the Treasury notes issued and still incirculation were intended to be funded, to con- stitute a tem currency isened from necessity and to furnish government with the means to #eve itself from destruction; that the amount was not ‘to be increased, but to be withdrawn from circulation Bs rapidly as ponsible. ‘THE SUBSTITUTION OP TREASURY NOTES. He-further declares that it was shown that the sys- em was not a monopoly, its privileges being free to all, but that it uprooted many real banking monopo- lies authorized by the several States. After reviewing at some length his former argument in favor o&the system he says:— The proposition for the substitution of Treasury notes in place of national bank notes having been again revived and discussed, it is thought advisable ‘again to answer the principal objections urged against the national banking system, even at the risk of re- peating to some extent, although with more recent data, what has already appeared in previous reports. ‘Under the law, then, a8 it now a any nuinber of not less than five, in any part of the who together may ave = $50,000 ital at command, may organize o bank and receive cireulsting notes equal amount to ninety per cent of such in the Iatter respect in cay , the law discriminatin; only against the large institutions, as no bank, since the passage of the act of July 12, 1870, is entitled to circulation in excess of $500,000. A bank buving a copital of between $500,000 and $1,000,000 can receive in circulating notes but eighty per cent thereon; if between $1,000,000 and $3,000,v00 it can receive but seventy-five per cent, aud if $3,000,000 but sixty per ceut. Since the passage of the aet of Juno %, 1874, the national banks, so far from considering the privilege of issuing circulation a profitable monopoly, have voluntarily surrendered $66,237,323 of their notes, which is $29,463,467 more than has been issued to all of the banks organized since that date, while 144 ‘banks, with capital stock amounting to $15,617,000 and acireulation of $9,190,718, have gone imto volun- ry liquidation. Me declares that the capital stock ‘vf the national banks is not largely in the hands of capitalists. Armong their sharcholders may be found persons in every station of life, and great numbers of women snd Ghildren rely for their support upon the successful management of these institutions. It is not probable that the stock of any other class of corporations iu the country is more widely dis- tributed among: people of moderate means than is that of uational banks. It is also largely distributed awony members of all political parties, end, as a rule, is free from the contro! of partisan influence. * MONOPOLINS, He denies that the national bauks hav Monopolized the business of banking, nor wnt. On May 31 of this year there we more shan §,700 Stete banks aud private bank- uses, having an aggregate capital of $202,000,000 aud depoxite of $41,000,000. These banking etablish- ments are located in al] the principal cities and villages of the country, and it is to be presumed that if the privilege of issuing circulating potes wi great us it is persistently claimed to be, th viations and individuals who are already en: the business of banking and who are free to o: national system, would hasten to organize under that system. The amount of interest accruing annually upon the Domds held by the national banks, on November 1, Yeos the tax paid by them upon their circulation, is $14,544,692 only, while the aunawi profit upou the eutire circulation of the national banks is but $8,961,519, or lexs than two and a half per cent upon their capital. He declares that the organization of banks without captta! was one of the great abuses of revious banking systems, and says it is Lnpossible for a bank of cireulation only, without capital, to b organized under the national aystem it proper precau- tion be exercised and the exatniner is competent ” faithful im the disc of his duties, The proportion of capital anc 1 and surplig to iWabilitios ie. much greater in t ut whieh is undoubtedly owing t ir law requires that the full amount of au- tal wall be actually paid in En land, as arule, only a portion of th but the stockholders are individu full amonnt of their subscriptions. ric vility is true of the limited banks only, the stock- Coiuess of other corporations not limited being each liable for all of the debts of the corpor: BANKS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The Comptroller submits a table, compiled from Statements in the London Hoonomist of October 19, 1878, ehowing tie amount of capital, reserve end liabilities and the ratio of capital and of capital and reserve to liabilities of S417 banks (141 banks and 9,276 branches) of the United Kingdom. The total capital of these banks is $40,000,000; surplus, $170,000,000; total capital NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1878.—TRIPLE SHEET. and surplus, $620,000,000; liabilities, $2,700,000,000. A comparison of this table with a similar statement of the National Banks, which have a capital and surplus of $624,000,000 and Habilities of $1,140,000,000, shows the ratio of capital to Mabilities of the 3417 banks in the United Kingdom to be 16.78 per cent, and the ratio of their capital and reserve to lia bilities to be 23.07 per cent, while the corresponding ratios of the national banks are 40.98 and 54.73, the ratios of the national banks being in each instance more than double those of the United Kingdom. ‘THE MATTER OF EXCHANGE, He refers then to the convertibility of the national bank note, and says:— If the New York system of redemption were to be applied to the national bank circulation in place of the existing method it would probably at once raise the price of exchange to the rate current under that system, which was generally one-half of one per cent. Unaer the syst now in ue the notes of the national banks, wherever |. have pos- sessed a uniform value, and the prices of exchange have ruled ut the lowest rate. The rates of exchange between St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and New York have been frequently ‘at par and under, never exceeding, say, seventy-five cents for $1,000, instead of from #10 to $16 per $1,000, as was common under previous systems. Redemptions have not been so frequent under this as under the previous systems of New York and New England, for the reason that the notes are more fully secured, and also because the demand for Treasury notes has not been so great as was formerly the de- mand for gold under similar circumstances. The ma- chinery of the law is, however, in operation, and the frequency of redemptions will to a great extent de- pend upon the demand for gold after specie , pernans shall have been resumed. But the notes of the banks Deing secure beyond peradventure this demand will, in all probability, be much less than under former systems of unsecured currency, PROFITS OF THE SYSTEM. The surplus of the national banks amounted on Oc- tober 1 to nearly $117,000,000, A part of this sum rep- resents the proiits earned by former State banks pre- vious to their conversion into national organizations and brought by them into the system. The greater portion was, however, accumulated by bunks apt the years of business prosperity immediately succed- ing the close of the war. ‘Then follows a table showing that the maximum surplus was reached in 1875, when it was $133,169,095 since which time it has been decreased to $118,178,531 The diminution has been caused by charging thereto, from time to time, portions of the losses sustained by the national banks, such losses aggre- rating during the last three years $64,119,415. Fhe losses in 1876 were... - $19,719,027 ‘The losses in 1877 were 2°191983,588 ‘The losses in 1878 were.. 24,466,800 The greater ye. of the losses mentioned has been cancelled by charging it to the account of cur- rent profits; in co! uence of which 357 banks, with an aggregate capital of $58,736,950, have in the last six months paid no dividends at all, while during the last three years the average number of banks semi-an- nually poying dividends on account of losses had deen 288. ‘his number is equal to about one- seventh of the whole number now in operation... The average amount of capital upou which no dividends had been paid during that time is $44,583,515, from which it follows that for a continuous period of three years more than one-tenth of the total capital of the national banks has been without profit to the owners. The belicf so widely entertained that the profits made by the national banks are excessive is in great part due to the exceptionally large dividends paid by a few banks which are favorably located and have » large surplus, and which make large returns to their shareholders on the amount of their nominal capital. The profits of these banks ate not to any considerable extent derived from their girculation, but from sur- plus and deposits. Many of the banks making these exceptional divi have a much less emonnt of circulation than making moderate dividends only, while afew of them have no circulation what- ever. see eercee |e $64,119,415 AMOUNT OF TAXES. The total amount of United Stutes taxes collected from the commencement of the system to the present time is as follows: On circulation On deposits. On capital... sess goss soaress$06,089,006 40 The rate of taxation upon the banks in the city of New York and in other cities has averaged more than Total. ...ssseeees sees five per ceut annually during the past four years, and there is no doubt that the annual collected from these institutions has been greatly in excess of the rate collected upon the capital of other corporations, private firms and individuals, which cannot be as ac- curately determined as is that of the national banks from the published statements. . FAILURE OF NATIONAL BANKS, Mr. Knox next refers to the failures of national banks and gives a table showing that the total amount of capital of all the insolvent national banks is $16,015,100; amount of claims proved, $23,398,709; of dividends paid, $14,010,313, while the estimated losses dire but $6,415,423. The average number of failures during each of the past fifteen years has been lesa than five and the average annual loss less than $430,000. .. ‘Lhe City of Glasgow Bank, which recently failed in Scotland, had a capital and surplus of than $3,000,000 and liabilities of more than $60,000,000. It loaned to four debtors of the bank more which — there is a loss $21,000,000. ‘The deficiency in the assets is nearly $26,000,000, which is four times as great as the losses to all the creditors of national banks which have failed since the organization of the system. ‘The Bank Superin- tendent of the State of New York the liabili- ties of twenty-two banks which have failed in that State during the last six and a half years at $12,188,777, and estimates the losses to their creditors at $4,303,616, which is more than one-third of their entire indebtedness. He estimates the losses during the last three years at $3,400,000, which is more than one-half of the estimated losses to the creditors of all the national banks in the United States from the be- ginning of the system until now. The losses from five State banks in the city of Chicago during the last two years, which banks were organized un- der special charter, under which neither State super- vising nor iy es were is estimated to be $3,819,500 on liabilities of $5,785,572. The losses from the State and savings banks of the country during the present year only are kuewn to have been c than the total loss from all the ures which have occurred of ni banking associations. ‘The government has had ‘amounts on deposit continually with a great number of national banks throughout the country for its convenience in mak- ing disbursements, but has suffered no loss @ the past twelve yeara. Upon the ‘notes the uational banks there has been no loss whatever, THE NEGOTIATION OF BONDS. One of the chief objects in view of the organization of the national system was not only to furnish bank notes which were safe and convertible, but to supply asteady market for and facilitate the negotiation of United States bonds; and there is no doubt that the credit of the government and its ability to borrow money at low rates of interest have been greatly in- creased by making its bonds a basis for the issue of natioval bank notes, Of the United States bonds held by the national banks on November 1, 1868, and deposited with the Treasurer as security for their circulating notes, nearly three-fourths bore interest at the rate of six percent. The amount of this class of bonds has since been gradually reduced until it is now less than one-quarter of all the bonds held; while nearly one- fourth of the whole amount bears interest at the rate cf four and a half gud four per centonly. About one- fifth of the entire imsues of the latter classes of bonds is now held by the national banks. ‘The government has still outstanding more than $693,000,000 of six per cent and more than $103,000,000 ot per cent bonds. The reduction of the interest on this amount to four per cent would save the gov- erninent nearly $21,000,000 of interest annually. The funding of the six per cent bonds into four per cents has made rapid progress during the last year, and the banks have been of gros? service to the government iu this process of rerunding by negotiating and ab- sorbing a very consideravle part of the new issues. Should the national system continue there is no doubt that the present rapid reduction in the burden of in- terest will continue also, If the national bank # m is to be abolished and an additional amount of United States notes is to be issued all hope of reducing the rate of interest 6n the public debt must be abandoned. FUNDING THE DEBT. ‘The larger portion of the five and six per cent gold bearing bonds of the United States is payable at the option of the government, and the remainder will be payable in 188i, two years henes. As already stated, $21,000,009 yearly may be saved to the government by funding these bonds into four per cents, while the amount which it is claimed may be annually saved by the repeal of the National Bank act and the issne of $20,000,000 of inconvertible Treasury notes is $13,000,000 only. With the issue of this large amount of government notes the funding of eo public debt will be vendered impossible, for the pledges of the government will then be violated. and ite credit permanently injured, Which is the wiser course—to continue the work of funding the debt, which has so stccosstuily pro- gressed during: the present year, thus saving the greater amount of itterest named while adding to the credit of the country, or to attetapt, by the re- poal of the National Bank act, to save the less amount ‘and at the loss, as well, of reputation and credit? Is there not danger that attempts to remove an imag- inary evil may be followed by the introduction of # real and much greater evil? Success in funding the national debt, through the co-operation of 2,000 of the principal monetary institutions ot the country, inay be aesured, but the effects of the issue of a large snount of irredeemable goverament currency can ~ not be foretold, Retprring to the value of circulation to the national banks, he says the profit to the banks derived froin the issue of circulating notes is not so great as is fre- | quently asserted, being but about two and.a half per | cent more per annum on the capital invested in the bonds pledged to secure the cireulation than could be | obtained by lending directly the same amount of capital, . ERFYECT OF INCREASING GREENRACKA, Hie then argues that there will be no saving to tho government by an additional issne of Treasury notes, The amount of legal tender notes outetanding is $946,000,000; of national bank notes, $322,000,000, making & total of $668,000,000, It is not probable that additional legal tender notes can be constitu- tionally issued. , therefore, Treasury notes shall be substituted for the present national bank notes, it is doubtful if they can be made a legal tender in the payment of all debts. Two kinds of ‘Treasury notes will then be in circulation, one of which will be a full legal tender and the other not, even between national banks, as is now the case with their own notes. The full legal tender notes will be of greater value than the other class unless both ‘are y they \y a larger amount is desired they can be readily obtained upon application in tho manner provided by law. On the other hand, if the entire cireulation of the country is to be issued by the gov- ernment, its amount must be fixed by Congress, and ran be neither increased nor diminished except by its jou. The Treasury note represents no business capital, and the volume of currency will be con- trolled, not by the demands of business aud the wants of the country, but by the views and ac- of political parties and of Congress. If the amount of issues should reud $665,000,000, which is the present volume of the cur- rency,# reserve of $223,000,000 in coin must be kept on 4. The interest upon this amount of reserve at the lowest §yirtemens rate (four per cent) would be $8,920,000, The expense of iss the notes aud the cost of redemption would also large, and the total cost to the government, including the hazards attending’the issue of so large an amount of money, would not probably be less than $10,000,000 annuelly. This amount is not greatly less than that cf the net annual interest received by the national banks upon their bonds, and is much greater than the profits de- rived by them from their entire circulation. It is believed by the Comptroller that this proposed substitution is impracticable, and that repeal of the National Bank act will result, not in an additional issue of Treasury notes, but in restoration of State systems similer to those which were previously in operation, ‘The national banks, as a class, are by no means en- thusiastic #lvocates of the national system, as im- plied in the ussertions of those who proclaim that these banks will form a combination or union for its defence at any hazard. No formidable combination can be organized among them to save the system from repeal. On the con- trary, it will be found that large numbers of the banks will quietly acquiesce in such repeal provided they shall be satistied that the old State systems ure certain to be revived. The proposition is to save money to the government by placing the principal existing monetary institutions of the country in liquidation at a time when specie payment is assured, ‘There will be no saving to the government, but a lows of millions of dollars annually to the people, which loss incroases yearly with the growth of business and commerce between the different States, COIN IN THE TREASURY, ‘The Comptroller refers to the amount of coin now in the Treasury, and says this amount is constantly increasing, and it is to-day ‘a solid basis’’ for circula- tion. Congress has fixed the day for the restoration of the specie standard, and the legislation needed is that which will not overthrow, but co-operate with the present well-managed monetary institutions of the country in accomplishing this result. When this is done the present banking system, if then thought desirable, may be modi without danger to the creditor or the business and commer- cial interests of this great nation. Then follows a table showing that the amount of reserve held on the Ist of October last was greater than that required by law.~ The Treasury Department owns $140,000,000 of coin, which is equal to more than forty per cent of the entire issues of the legal tender notes, and is available for their redemption while the banks hold nearly one-third of the legal tender notes. If, therefore, the banks of the country co-opersie with the Treasury, it is impossible that resumption shall fail; but even if this co-operation should not be universal it could not affect the ulti_ mate result for, if any considerable portion of the legal tender notes be exchanged for coin at the Treasury and withdrawn from use, the notes will become scarce and can be forced into circulation to supply the requirements of business and fill the gap. ‘The coin will soon thereafter be returned to the Treasury in payment of customs duties and internal revenue taxes and offered in exchange for wnback coin certificates, which will be more generally accept- able to the people tor the same reason that the notes of the Bank of England and of the Bank of I'rance are preferred to coin, In conclusion the Comptroller quotes from a pre- vious rt submitted by him 40 show that the banks will not be called on to pay their deposits in specie; that the people throughout the country now know that the national bank notes are safe, and will not decline to receive them in payment of their de- posite. TWO CENTENARIANS. A colored man, about forty years of age,.notified the Coroners’ office yesterday that his grandmother, aged 104 years, was lying dead at No. 222 Delancey street from injuries received by being run over by a ‘wagon on the 234 ult. He stated that she had sup- ported herself by washing up to within a few'weeks of her death, On the day she received her in- juries she was on her way to Williamsburg to do washing for «» family named Hicks. While crossing Grand street, near Lewis, a cracker wagon knocked her down and injured her side. She ‘was not severely hurt, however, and after returning home and changing her clothes she proceeded to ‘Williamsburg and performed her day’s washing as if nothing had happened. About a week afterward, while performing the sume duties at the house of Mr. Hicks, she complained of a severe pain in her side. ‘When about going nome Mr. Hicks offered to accom- pany her, but she would not permit him to do so, With the exception of taking the boat acress the river she walked the whole distance to her home, one of her ities being that she never rode in a city horse car or. carriage. ‘When going to or coming from her work she always walked, no matter how iste the hour or long distance. It is also asitirmed that during her long lite she was never outside the limits of New York State. For the last forty years she has doue washing twice a week in the family of Mr. Hicks, and during that time was never known to have been @ day sick. Mr. Hicks says that he hus known her for about half a century, and when he first saw her he regarded her as ® woman well advanced in years. Her eklest son, if living, would be eighty years of age. She has three grandchildren living, all people, and seven grandchildren, well im years. She was born a slave ut Train's Meadow, Long Island, and from her infancy she was im the service of Daniel Riker, whose homestead was located at that place. Sle was # slave until long after the war of 1812, when she had carned 8 sufficient sum to pur- chase her liberty. Mrs. Kider, the last of the Biker family, now resides in West Thirty-cighth street, and is about years of age. She was nursed by the young slave woman, Eliza Thompson. BY Mrs. Mary Curtin died at the rosidence of her daughter, No. 12 New Chambers street, last Mondzy, at the remarkable age of 102 years. she was born at Listowel, Ireland, in 1776, and emigrated to this coun- try about prey years ago. She was the mother of four children, all girls, two of whom are living—one in this city and the other in California, Her funeral took place yesterday from the residence of her daugh- ter, and the remains were buried in Calvary Cemetery. ” BROTHERS IN ARMS. RECEPTION OF THE FARRAGUT POST, GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, BY POST RANKIN, Arecaption was given Farragut Post, Grand Army ot the Republic, of Paterson, N.

(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Bosron, Nov. 20, 1878. The sporting men of Boston and vicinity crowded Beethoten Hall to overtiowing to-night, to witness the contest between James E. Owens, of Vermont, champion wrestler of the United States, and Charles Conner, of New York, champion of the Middle States, for $1,000 and the champion belt. ‘The strug- gle was terrific, and lasted, with intermissions, one hour and thirty-five minutes, the victory resting with Owens, the present champion. The match did not bring out a great deal of sci- ence, the stromgest feature ‘being an exhibition of swength. Owens wrestled at 163 Ibs. and Conner at 167 lbs. The Vermonter is a much more solid and better built man than his New York rival, who is somewhat taller, Owens is bi at the hips, and is in consequence better prepared¢o ward off 2 dan- gerous “hip-lock.’ Conner tried to get this move- mentor him some six times, but failed each time, owing to his lack of strength to get Owens off his teet. Both men were in excellent condition, When they appeared on the stage, at ten minutes past clght o’aleek Colca Sland ‘stepped 40-she fuck lights and announced the terms of the match, which were that the men were to wrestle, collar and elbow, best two falls in three, according to Ed, James’ rules, for $1,000 and the championship belt. P. J. Garvey, of New York, was umpire for Owens, and George Warren, of Boston, for Conner, ¥, 'T. Ferry, of Boston, acting as referee. At twelve minutes past eight the men sieppedto the centre and shook hands, after which they took their positions and the great contest began. ‘THE CONTEST. Conner was very cautious at first, and this being noticed A Owens it made the latter more casy and free in his movements. Fully seven minutes were spent in sparring and making feints, the men cvi- dently feeling each other's weight, aud each waiting to see his opponent develop hix tactics, ‘The first effort was made by Owens, who tried to get ahip-lock. The New Yorker worked away well from him and tried to double on bim, but the jackets of both went over their heads and they took a breathing spell, but only for a moment. Owens, who had been measuring his opponent closely, now forced the wrestling, and after a hard tussle got him on his hip, and then, litting him bodily from the floor, landed him on his back; but only one shoulder tonched, and no fall was declared, "The crowd had by this time got pretty well ex- cited, and a good deal of dissatisfaction and disap- pointment was expressed at the result, us Owens’ friends were positive that he had the first fall. ‘After a short recess the men approached again from their corners. Owens opened the ball with atew lively faye and soon closed on Conner with his famous hip lock.’ ‘The New Yorker struggled hard to escape, and in doing s0 lost his balance and Owens threw him on his side close to the back of the stage. P Five minutes rest was then taken by the men, who indulged in some lemon and water without sugar. When time was called Owens went in with an evident purpose to have a fall, and he opened hostilities promptly. A good deal of cautious fencing occurred, after which the Vermonter e* a spend hip lock on Conner and lifted him bodily, and by a iti- cent muscular effort threw him olear over his head, landing him square on his back, amid a storm of applause. ‘The referee announced the first fall for ens. Time, 25 minutes. At five minutes before nine o'clock both men were again brought out and the second bout opencd. It was evident from the first move made by Conner that was determined to make 4 desperate effort for a fall ime. The strugyle opened lively, Conner doing his share. Both men offered many chances for an attack, but it was evident that neither was ready, Conner ‘had enough experisnce of the bip lock game to avoid it, and whenever he found the Vermonter preparing to exeeute that movement he set himself firmly on his feet and waited for his chance. Owens gradually worked him- self in till he got a half hip lock, and tried to repeat the same trick which gave him the first fall, but Con- ner doubled on him, drew him across his hip, but was notable to lift the Vermonter, and he escaped after a sharp struggle. Conner next ai in @ very dangerous grapevine twist, buf Owens broke it, and in the struggle the everlasting jackets went over their heads again and a pause was made to readjust them and to take breath. * Both men were now well warmed up and somewhat excited. Conner began by forcing the work, and some lively tripping and feinting ensued. The New Yorker made a desperate effort to get another hip lock and succeeded, but in trying raise Owens the latter doabled on him and lifted him clean off hia feet, and everybody expected the closee of the match, when by a quick spring the New Yorker broke the force of Owens’ grip end planted himself firmly on his props, a feat for which he received a wild storia of applause. This encouraged him, and he put in some splendid work for the next few minutes, trying no less than three times to force Owens off his feet and making a desperate effort each time. Owens got his blood up and forced the game. He y got in closer and closer, until he got Con- ner on his hip, and here the groutest struggle of the match ensued. The men struggled from side to side of the stage, the muacies of their arms and legs working so plainly that they could be seen distinctly throughout the hail Owens was twice thwarted in an effort to lift his oppo- nent over his head, and cach time Conner doubled on him, to catch him on the recover and throw him over, but failed. Finally both men, after s des- perate encounter, came down almost together, Owens under, but there was no fall. Up and at it again without » rest. Both men went in wi a determination to have a fall. Owens forced the work, and two or three very pretty exhibitions of skill and strength were given. Conner made two efforts to get the hip lock, but tailed owing to his inability to lift Owens over his head. Owens made one more effort and the men grappled. It was a terrible struggle. When the Vermonter was preparing for a final effort Conner doubled on him and by a rapid and skilful trip got Owens on his hip and landed on his back before any one could te! how it was done. A fall for Conner was announced amid cheers, The time was thirty minutes. The third round only lasted seven minutes. It was not as spirited as the others, and the fall which decided the match in favor of Owen was not a clean aue, ‘The men came up promptly at 9:40. Ea@h had a fall to his credit, and there was a good deal of caution manifest. When the fighting began it was vigorous. Each had found ont something by past experience, and neither was prepared to forteit anything by neglect. The first fall was by Owens, who got in # successful hip lock, after teeing a grape vine by Conner, and he threw the New Yorker on his side. Hostilitios were renewed promptly, and after a very hard struggle Conner got ina lock and worked it vigorously on. Owens broke away and tried to get one in on his op- ponent. Both worked with a will, and Owens in the tusale got a back twist on Connc id threw him on his knees, breaking fils hold, which gave him the fall Conner says he did not break his hoid to save a fall, as he was too near the ground at the time to be thrown on his hack, but it was decided against him, and the temper of the audience showed that they ‘were not pleased with the result. HARVARD AND YALE. YALE REFUSES TO ACCEPT HARVARD'S CHAI~ LENGE FOR A SINGLE SCUIZ RACE NEXT SUM- MER FOR COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT FE. P. LIVINGSTONE WOULD ROW GODDAKD, OF HAR- VaRp. if (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) New Haven, Nov. 20, 1878. A meeting of the Yalo University Boat Club was held this evening to consider "8 challenge to Yale to row a single scull race next summer for college championship. President Aldrich presided, There was not o large attendance, and Harvard's proposition awakened little enthusiasm. After the challenge had been read Captain ‘Thorapson, of the University crew, remarked thet he waa opposed to its ‘acceptance by the boat club, a# it would be inconsist- ent with the position Yale hap maiatained since she left the Rowing Association in 1876, and which was then one of the bance of her action. ‘The single scull race would be mado a side show to the University row, and to prevent distracting infia- ences was one reason why Yale refases to row other crews than Harvard’s University crew. He had snother reason for opposing the accept anco of the challenge, which wars that an extra expense would be incurred, and the sub- scriptions for the Univermty erew’s benefit would be interfered with. He then moved that Harvard's challenge be declined, and that the secretary of the Harvard Ciub be notified that B, P. Livingstone would row Goddard, of Harvard, « personal race, It was re- marked that Goddard Inet year wanted to row only a Yule seutler who shonid appear as Yele’s repreventa- tive. Oaptain Thompson smonded his motion to simply decliné Harvard's challenge. President Aldrich opposed accepting Harvard's challenge on the ground that it would set a bad recedent, the effect of which would be felt for a Fong time, Yele had not departed from her original omttion, though jiarvard had, in entertaintiny chal- jenges from other colleges. Mr, Thormpson’s motion Y imously, the meeting of the n adjourned, and waa followed by a movting of the University President Aldrich presented the invitation of the National Amateur Rowing Association to Yale to enter for prizes, which association offers the race le rowed on the Pasanic next season. No acti taken, but Mr. Aldrich said that while tho policy the boat cinb was opposed to thix it might be ‘that classes might send sixes or single seullers, the classes often having good materinl, On Captain ‘Thompson's motion it was voted that the University has gonfidence in 1. P. Livingstone as avingle seuvler and that it will support him by its inituence and finances in training, should his ‘per. sonal chailenge to Goddard or any other Harvard sculler be accepted. ‘Tho subject of the Yale freshmen challenging Har- yard freshmen waa discussed. Lt was stated that the fresbinen hada good crew, as was shown by the fail regatta at Lake Saltonstall. Captain Thompson thought that the freshmen might be drawn on heavily for the University crew an t the case would be different at Harvard, where the University crew will not take one man from the * freshmen, an® Harvard would accordingly have Yale ata disadvantage. This also would be going on first pot ig as much as if other outside mutters should be considered. Other 8 expresnod the opinion thet Harvard's freshmen lust year fur- nished an example of what 4 freshman erew aright expect. Harvard could not support University and Senet crews, and it was improbable that Yale would, ‘The meeting adjourned without taking action. YACHTING NOTES. _——— The steam yacht Lurline, Captain W.

F. Weaver, Twenty-three members came to score and each shot at seven » The afternoon was not at ali desirable for good shooting, a4 a heavy mist hung over the Park during the shooting and therefore the seores were only medium. When each contestant had shot at his full number of birds it was so dark that the tie between Messrs. De Fraino, Eddy, Watts and Madison, who each killed six out of seven birds, could not be decided, and it was postponed until wo o'clock this afternoon.

QUEENS COUNTY HUNT. ‘The unfavorable weather yesterday prevented many members of the Queens County Hunt from taking their accustomed gallop across the country after the pack, The mect at Newcastle was, therefore, not numerously attended.

The run was to the north for a considerable distance from Newcastle, theu the scent led the hounds in o westerly course over fine country to the ineadows between Hyde Park and Creedmoor, where the finish took place.
