THE TWO M’s. Lawyer Mundy’s Visit to Lawyer Mullin, Smee AND THE ROW THAT FOLLOWED A Temperance Eye in Mouming and a Fee that Was Lost. “You are guilty of irregular practices anyhow, and you are nothing butan infernal shyster!”” Such is the language which Counsellor William Mullin, of No. 10 Wall street, claims was addressed to him on Friday afternoon in the office of Messrs. Jones & Lynch by Willian H, Mundy, the temperance lecturer and lawyer. Whether these were the precise words used | or not {the result was a striking one. Mr, Mullin sprang to his feet, lunged with his right arm so as to bring his knuckles into violent contact with the temperance apostle’s left eye and followed ‘up the demonstration by attempting’to get the head of the liquor dealer's foe into chance ‘There was @ pretty lively scuffle for a time until the occupants Of the office separated the men, and Mr. Mundy made his exit considerably the worse for weur. This is the way the story was told to a reporter by Mr. Mullin at his home in Stapleton, Staten Island, last night. “I think I did a proper thing in beating him,” continued Mr, Mullin, “‘and if he provoked me in the same way I would thump him again to-morrow.” “Well, the affair has created great scandal,” re- marked the reporter. *‘What were the circumstances which led Mr, Mundy to address yon in that way?” HOW IT CAME ABOUT. “It is a short story. Under the present law the Superintendents of the Poor of the county are author- ized to sue for a penalty of $50 any liquor dealer who omits to put a sign over his door, or who in any way tails to comply with the statutory requirements. Mr. Mundy has been getting parties to make complaints against certain liquor dealers to the superintendents, but the latter have almost invariably refused to prose- cute, because they doubted their right to do so. After the superintendents are notified, if ten days elapse without their bringing suit, then any citizen may, in their name, begin suit against the offender, and these informers of Mr. Mundy have made such complaints. During the past eighteen months I have appeared in defence of many of these liquor dealers, and was fortunate enough to defeat Mr. Mundy, who, of course, was the prosecutor. In the case which was the indirect cwuse of my striking him he carried his malice so far as to send a boy buy half a pint of gin at the West End Hotel in Totte ville. It was a violation of the strict letter of the law to sell liquor for any other purpose than to be drank on the premises, and Mundy immediately brought suit against Mrs. Walker in whose name t liconse stood. The action wax begun in the name of the Superintendents of the Poor to recover $50 penalty. It was known that Mr. and Mrs. Walker were respon- sible persons, and it the Court decided in favor of Mr. Mundy the decision would carry with it the pay- ment of some $75 to him as tocs. The case was tried at the last term of the County Court in October, before Judge Pratt, the complaint being made in the name of Db. W. Simonson, of Tottenville. ‘The Court d:- cided b pears the prosecution and the informer, stead of getting a neat sum from Mrs. Walker, found that he was bound to pay about $0 costs himscif. It is unnecessary to say he was not plessed with the result. ell, I served a cy of the findings on Mundy, and the tice is that if findings are not satisfactory the recipient shall give the sender two days’ notice to pearvbefore the judge who tried the case and th ah pi for such changes as he thinks should be made, THE VINDINGS FOUND. Lheard nothing about the findings until yesterday afternoon. While I was in the office of Messrs. Jones & Lynch [ was surprised at the entrance of Mundy, who came up and told me grufily that Judge Pratt wanted me to appear at bis private residence ut twelve o'clock to-day and settle the findings. “L am not prepared,” I said, “to yo to Judge Pratt’s dwelling on such short warning. If yon had served a proper notice on me I should be happy to 0.” D0 you refuse to go over ?” he suid angriiy. “Mat aasuredly I do,” was my reply, “unless I receive # reg war notice. Then he got into a rage and used the insulting lan- guage I have already reported. Well, he was glad enough to get out of the office, I can tell you; but I can't feel sorry tor pitching into him. You see, it was not ‘the first time he insulted m Once in Judye Dykman’s Court, in Brooklyn, he used similar Janguage and then remained in the court room two hours and a half, afraid to come out because he thought I was waiting to chastixe him. Aguin, at the last session of the Kichmond County Court, he insulted me and I then told him that it he tver again applied such terms to me 1 would certainly thrash him on the spot. AN ODD EPISODE, “There is a very tweny incident in connection with this matter,"” smd Mr. Mullin with a laugh. “When the affair was over Mr. Jones thrust Mundy from his office, and he went off making threats. Thinking he migit yet » warrant for my arrest { went into the restaurant on Broadway kept by one of my clients, Mr, Farmenich, und told the latter to hold himself in readiness to become my bondsman. I brictly related the incidents of the affray to him. ® “ Why,’ he exclaimed, ‘Mr. Mundy was in here about the time that occurred and had # glass of beer.” “You must be mistaken,’ I said; ‘it is impossible that he drinks." “No, I am not,’ he said; ‘I know William H. Mundy very well. He has an office up stairs. He ‘was in here one day, and after taking » drink asked ame if [knew who he was. I said, ‘Yes, I know you are Mr. Mundy, the temperance man; but 1 can't give you any liquor except beer. My license 1s ouly Ww seil beer.” He has come in here and had six or drinks # day for some months past.’ ow,” continued Mr, Mullin, “if I had known that this Mundy was under the influence of liquor { would have taken his inwulis in silence. I saw when he came into the office that he was excited, and recollect that I thought at the time that he had been indulging in some drug or other. I never supposed he drank intoxicating liquors at all, Al- though I appear as counsel for liquor dealers Tam abstainer aud drink ucither beer nor any other liquor.” air. Mundy was not at his office when the reporter called to yet his version of the story, nor could he be found about town last evening. SMALL BOY INFORMATION. “Did yer hear of Mundy’s little muss?" the ro- porter, was asked by a small boy at one of the offices ¢ culled at during his search for the temperance apostle, He was a bad little boy, who grinned hor- ribly as he asked the question, ‘The reporter replicd that he had heard of a “muss” on Staten Island. “An’ yer lookin’ for Mundy?" and the boy grinned more horribly than ever. “Well, boss,” added the youngster, “I guess he must be nursin’ of that eye of his’n.”” But the reporter found no one who could tell him whether Mundy was badly hurt or not. He did not eal at any hospital. SEVERELY © URED.

The centre was marked off and the object was for the op- posing party to pull the other over to their side. When the word to pull was given 200 midshipmen’s backs bent in heroic endeavor, For a moment or two the centre piece hung in even suspense then began slowly to sway toward the second and fourth’s side.

CONTEMPLATED VISIT OF A SCOTTISH FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Tokonto, Nov. 28, 1878. ‘The negotiations for the visit of a Scotch team or teams of association football players in the coming spring continue, and are marked with considerable enthusiasm on the part of the Scottish Football Asso- jation. ‘The question of their coming or stay- at home has resolved itself into simply question of the players’ ability to clear expenses, Mr, William Dic! the enthusiastic secretary of the association, writing under | date of the 15th inst. to Mr, D. R, Brown, of this city, say ‘L have yot promises from some of our best international men who are willing to take a trip across abont April. Of those already promised I may mention the celebrated Harry McNeil, James B. Weir, ‘Thomas Vallance, Alexandcr Kennedy, William Smith and William Y. Sonumers. I have also got half a proinise from the Hon, A. I. Kennaird and a num- ber of very prominent. players. In fact, | if our expenses, or part of them, could be guaranteed I have no fears of bringing across a team which would be wnequalled. Iam certain that your new Governor General, the Marquis of Lorne, would give you every support in the matter, as he ‘TEAM OF association game in Scotland, but he has done yco- man service to our association as honorary president. ‘The following is a copy of a letter £ received fron him the other day in acknowledgment of one of our football annuals :— KENSINGTON PALACK, Oct, 25, IRTR, thanks for the hand- Dyan Mr. Dicx—Pray accept m Py of your rules aud py to send me, of clubs there, 1 Veontinue to prosper aud to me yours faithfully. MA Mr. Dick continues:—‘I am certain that the public would support a number of matches to be played in Canada and the United States, and Lam: further cer- tain that His Lordship and Her Royal Highness would give their patronage and presence if such matches were to tuke place. Lord Lorne still holds the office of Patron of the Scotch Association, and the following is a copy of a letter accepting the office gain fresh laurels Kew: Sir—I am requested by the oN PAL Marquis of edge receipt of your letter of the Gth inst., and in reply inform sou that His Lordship shall have much pleasure in givin, i fo an association which hus so much dis. tinguished itself, and shall al ck to th 74 of hin presidi wore achioved, I re ys look when sue! ain, sir, your obedi ith pleasure jt sucesses Mr. Dick continues:—“Our men wowd propose to leave here after the international match in Murch, and remuin in Canada and the United States for about a mouth or six weeks, Don't you think it would be more successful than the Lacrosse visit to this country?” Tho ‘letter concludes with the expression of a hearty hope that the game is progressing in the Western world. So far the gentleman who is in charge of the arrangements here has not had any assurances of success, nor yet of failure. He is rather afraid that the ground is not sufficiently prepared for the advent of # team in moving which there would be so much expense. He is, however, hopeful of success if # fraternal feeling be shown by the buseball clubs of the United States and the Lacrosse clubs of Canada. With their hearty co- operation the tour would be un assured success, but without it there is reason to fear that the votarics of the association game of football ure scarcely numer- ous enough yot to insure the visitors against pecuniary loss. So far as ascertained the Canadian Lucrosse clubs will tuke the football team under their wing and assist them through the Doriinion. No doubt the baseball clubs of the iowns in the State where the team might visit would also give them their countenance. ‘The athletic clubs, it is believed, can be confidently relied upon to uid the enterprise, and the pross, of course, is ever ready to give its pow- erful influence to any movement calculated to pro- mote the physical well-being of the rising gencration. THE SOPHOMORE ELEVENS OF PRINCETON AND COLUMBIA COLLEGES MEET AT HOBOKEN COLUMBIA BADLY DEFEATED. The sophomore elevens of Princeton and Columbia colleges played a match gume of football yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the St. George's Cricket Club, Hoboken. It was the first contest of the Colum- bias, and they showed much courage in meeting the boys from Jersey, as the latter included four of their university team, who became the champions on Thursday last by detcating Yale. The weather was superb, the field in fair condition, but the attend- ance was meagre. The men of Princeton proved too many guns for Columbia's plucky lads, as they won the game in rare good shape, scoring six goals and ten touchdowns, while Columbia did not make a point. The teams were made up as follows:— Prin s —Forwards—Bradford, McDermont, Lan- don (captain), Roberts, Scribner and McAlpin; half backs, Farr, Allen and Loney; backs, Cauldwell and Lowrie. ConumBia.—Forwards—Angell, Wilcoxson, Sayre, Forster and Wilson; half bac! Hough, Taylor, Coombs and Patten (captain); backs, Crane and Tie- man, Mr. Wiley was umpire for Columbia, Mr. Clark for Princeton, and Mr. Nicholl, of Stevens Institate, the referee. Princeton won the toss and selected the northern goal, the wind being against Columbia. ‘The latter had the kick off, and at 2h. 40m. Patten sent the ball whirling up the field. From that mo- ment Columbia was beaten, for she was outplayed at every point. In just 5 minutes Landon, assisted by Loney, touched the ball down behind Columbia's goal, but the ball was “foul” when Loney passed it to im#udon, and it was of necessity brought back, When the struggle was resamed Landon once more obtained the ball and again fought his way behind Columbia's line, and succeeded in making the first touchdown. A try at goal followed, Cauldwell kicking the ball well over the bar, which gave Prince ton the first goal. Time, 14 minutes. Patten again kicked off the ball for Columbia, and, though the New Yorkers had “braced up," os her sympathizers termed it, they were powerless in resisting the charges of theiropponents. Just 16 minutes more were required for Allen, of Princeton, to make the second touch- down behind Columbia's line, but in kicking for goal Cauldwell inissed. Columbia caught the ball, touched down for safety, and bringing it out, play was con- tinued for 4 moment in the centre ot the held. Then Princeton's rushers again fought the ball into the tertitory of Columbia, and at ih. 1m, J | with a fine run, made the third touchdown for Prince- | ton, which, as before, resulted in a miss, when Cauld- | well kicked for goal, ihe ball going outside the posts. So fast and finely did Prine that four minutes later, 3h. 19n:., Lonoy mate the fourth touchdown tor mtcle, and this time Cauldwell seat the ball magniticently between the posts, giving Princeton her second youl. ‘The same one-sided work was continued, and ju “half time’ was called—the being in two in- nings of forty: MeAlpin had the ball once more behind Colt e's youl, but the touch- down was not allowed, The ball up to this time had | never been in Princeton's territory. After the usual rest the men on both sides resumed play with increased determination. Within § minutes Loney secured fifth touchdown for Princeton, the third goal resulting from the kiek by Cauldwell. ‘The fourth goal was credited to. the Jerseymon three miuutes later, Landon making the touchdown and Cauldwell kicking the bail, At this juneture Cotmm- bia was utterly demoralized ax a team, though one or ve minutes* two of het players tackled the — vieturious Princetons with such force that they received hearty cheers for their plnck und daring. Seribner made the next touchdown for Princeton at 4h. dm., but Cauldwell failed in his attempt to kick the ball between the posts. It was only three or fe minutes more when Loney scored the eighth touch- | down, and again Cauldwell was unfortunate, a« his | kick sent the ball wide of the mark, At 4h.

The Ladies’ Saturday Morning Walking Club repre- seuts some of the most exclusive circles of New York society, and the precautions which its members are obliged to take in order to guard their doings from vulgar publicity is evidence of the success of their new idea, With a perversity, however, which tie proverbial philosophers persist in ascribing to their sex, they had until yesterday confined their itinerant exercise to every other day but that whose name they had borrowed. As the season for walking is nearl: over they discreetly determined upon turning a new leaf before the old year is dead and doing something which old Saturn himself would benignly smile upon, thus muking amends for their previous eccentric realing of the calendar, Quite early in the morning a half dozen demure looking persons of the gentier order of creation approached the wharf at the foot of Lwenty-tourth strect, on the North River, and the moment thit their fect touched the deck and they felt certain of having so tar oc: wd the obser- vation of the average metropolitan reporter, the; partly threw od the mask of reserve and merry rip- es of lnughter broke from their scarlet lips. ‘The morning's kven becath had already kindled a glow on their velvety cheeks and their eyes sparkled with the excitement of anticipation, “Such a lovely day!’ was the coment, uttered in as many differ- ent degrees of rapture as there were tones or voices. They looked serutinizingly about them but saw 10 one Whose appearance bespoke the spy. With the fate of Actcon before his eyes, the HenaLp re- Tread his possible doom in those pitiless though eyes, and he swore his soul to silence over the forbidden secrets that he might hear.

Past Fort Wash ington, and under the frown of the Palisades, they sailod across the crisp and dancing waves until at fast shew ing at Fort Loc. where the bare woods Dlaxt and the tall observa- tory stands gannt and skeloton-like against the sky. It was about ten o'clock when they disembarked. The hill which had seemed so formidable to the British infantry during the Revolution sloped almost | ua steeply Uefore the Indy pedestrians, ‘but they flinched not. With 2 resolution and vim’ worthy of the Amazons who stormed the citadel of Athens when Thesous was king, they went at it with tirm and d termined tread. ‘They were sirougly shod and wore skirts of moderate length, light upper wew and jaunty hats. Had they been bent on the. capture of a battery and had thus advanced a live betting “man might have laid five to one on their winning ane victory. ‘That warlike thoughts, howeve re far from their minds was paipable enot hey avoided the site of the oll earthworks, to the lett ‘Their pace until penetrated the gorge into the town. they reached this point was necessarily slow, but when they were through the woods on top of the Palixades, and had entered Palisade avenue, they quickened a little and showed some amendmeut in speed and action since their last stroll. — The wind blow briskly and pluyed all sorts of pranks with their hair, which, when it had incontinently tumbled down, they could uot then siop to rear- range in its accustomed shape. ‘Their appearance proved that beauty loses nothing by becoming pic- turesque. Mlushed with exercise and curcless of their attire they seemed a fitting complement of the landscape. HUNGRY BUT CHEERFUL. Two anda half miles brought the walkers to the Palisude Mountuin House, and they marehed up to its front with joyous step. Were not their appetites wonderfully sharpened, and their imagination intent upon viands more substantial than ambrosia? But behold! How gloomy appeareth the castle, and does not mine host or ‘his de equally tail to make an » girls were not to be foiled, er, They boldly pushed open the All was solitade and vacuity and desolation, Not a gut was to be scen or heard. And these charming creatures, who had walked two miles and a half so independently: and in the pride of their sex, would now have given a great deal for a ylimpae of a head waiter, a hotel clerk or any other masculine individual whose presence would have suggested the possibility of Imncheon. They forgot that they were tired, and remembered only that they were hungry. ‘They imagined that some: where in the great castle the ardly giant who owned it must be in hiding. Se. they ran trom cellar to garret and from garret to cellar—“‘up stairs, down stairs and in my lady's chamber’-—but not a vestige of what they sought could be found. Accepting the inevitable, they finally sat down on the rustic bench outside to rest and laughed herrtily at their discom- fiture, still they were terribly hungry and they did not stop long, but soon started down the Hackensack Valley ata lively rate. The road is macadamized and it presented no dixadvantayes. the end of a mile and a half they reac the Engle- wood Hotel, The scenery al the way down was magnificent. ‘They ‘capecially admired the bold and = rugged profile of the mountains and the green hollows of the river bottom. At Englewood they spent two ho: butting efusively over acomfortable dinner, Four of them then sepa- rated from the rest and walked on to Walton, a sta- tion on the Northern Railroad of New Jersey. The others took a train at Englewood and arrived in New York about five o'clock. The ladies who went to Walton covered a distance of seven miles in all. Those who returned trom Englewood had walked six iiles, Ail were thoroughly delighted with their ex- perience, BADGER BAITING. SECOND MATCH BETWEEN JOCKO AND PEINCE— A DESPERATE BATTLE RESULTING IN VICTORY FoR THE BADGER, Over two hundred persons were in the motley crowd which congregated om Friday evening in the suburbs of New York to witness the second “bait” between the badger Jocko and bull-terrier Prince. Since the arranging of the fight, which took place at the last match, the owner of the spirited dog has been betting very high on his animel. The cause of this was thet the owner of Jocko had consented to allow the badger to be muzzled in some of the “baits.” The match was to have come off on Wednesday evening on the Old Boston Road, in Westchester county, to which place ail hands proceeded on the night named. Before arriving on the spot information reached them that “spotters” were lying im ambush for the participants. The score or so of roughs who were thus warned then ad- journed to a neighboring beer saloon and agrecd that the fight shoutd take place on Friday night, the place to be sclected in the meantime. As $250 stakes had becn put up on each side and considerable betting had been done the sporting gentry were mueh con- cerned that the fight should come off with al! pos- sible speed. Accordingly Friday night the whole crowd, accom panied by a reporter and a sketch artist, adjourned to the selected locality, passing an unsuspecting policeman on their way. The kennel and animals had been clandestinely conveyed to the place on Friday mor! ant all the arrange. ymonts worked to perfection. Both animals were in fine condition, aud the badger’s eyes snapped wickedly as his owner stroked the wiry little animal's back. Princo did not show any sigue of the former battle, and was looked upon as the general favorite. Jocko's owners accepted heavy bets against their animal, and in many instances ob- tained largo odds. It was stipulated that instead of ten minntes being allowed to each “brit” the time ould be reduced to eight minutes im order to add an oxtra “bait.” ‘THE RATTLE, When Prince was placed in the box he took up his position ina sullen mavner and awaited the appewr- ance of his oppouaat, No svoner had the badger been admit! than the bull terrier excited the un- bounded admiration of the assembled sports by meking frantic efforts to break the slender chain which hekt him to his cor- ger, sv — he seem to commence | hostilities, Jocko, on the contrary, seemed almost frightened by the tierce demonstrations of his canine enemy, and retired to the turthermost extremity of his corner with a meck, cowed air. The knowing ones, however, expressed their opinion that the | bmdger was “playing oi” for the purpose of devoying his antagonist, Hurdly had the referee called “Time!” when Prince was released from his chain and darted savagely at his nimble little enemy, whom he endeavored to throw on his side, But Jock was not to be surprised by a sudden rush, and rather astonished the ter- det by burying his sharp teeth in Prince's torel while the latter howled and vt sly, mal forts to free himeett from t' Tn doing «0 the leg was torn and lacorated in & most trightfal and disgusting inaaner, But this eeumed to excite no commiseration in the breasts of the spectators, who grew quite enthusiastic over what ono excited) worthy called a “magnitieent clinch.” At last, by & supreme effort, Prinee broke the badgers hold and ran howling away, followed to. hia cover by Jocko, who seemed to have “ot his dan- dor up.” Prince cowered in his retreat for # moment, but the onslaught was so terrifle that he grew desper- ate and retaliated by ondeavoring to bite a hold inthe badgers’s back, In this undertaking ho encountered the sane diffienlty as on the previous oveasion, the long, coarse hair on Joéko's back slipping through the teeth of the terrier. Prince then con- tented himself with intlicting deep scratches on the —* hose, and was rewattled for his ins by having hiv right car nearly bitten off. At the end of sivht minites and thres sceonds the “bait’ wag de 7 claved over, Jacko haviug beaten his opponent so badly that he whined for quarter, Five minutes’ interncssion was spent by the “yang” in wrangiing over bets and yulping down mugs of beer, which weve to be paid fur by the win- niug side, A stumpede was caused by some ouo un- nouucing that Anthony Comstock had got wind of the “pall,” but it was found to be a practical joke, the perpetrator of which was rewarded for pains a pair of black eyes and & demolished high hat, over which he lamented At the end of the allotted five minutes, time ‘in called, und, amid a deep silence, the ani- mals were returned to the box. Both seemed relu tant to begin, each waiting for the other to co ence. At last Prinee, by dint of coaxing on tie t of his backers, le a snap at the badger’s paw, 4d. 1 was simply a vepeti- owediug encounter, and Jacko was again declared victorious, MUZZLING "THE BADGER, ‘Tie badger's prowess put a damper on the spirits of Prince's overcoufideat backers, who began to real- ize that “some one bad blundered.” The mastor ot the te; seemed particularly uneasy, and yelled, “You just put a muzzle on that beast of your'n, and V'll make my dog eat him this time. Do you hear me?’ The badger's owner obligingly consented, and the combatants were again put in their corners amid a yreat deal of comment. Vhe leather muzae Wax strapped upon the mouth of Jocko so tightly that he winced with pain; never theiers the eyes of the phicky badger glittered dan- gerousty and he assumed a ruanner that warned the doy plainly he would have no “walk over.” The fight was commenced by Jocko, who fought entirely with his claws, while Prince secured several holds on the badger's nose, which were dexterously broken, At the end of the time the terrier succeeded in draw ing his antagonist frou: the box, which teat he per- " id the wildest onthusiasan, ‘ed from Jacko on the fourth were resumed in a manner aris of all the spectators, for the 28 terrible, During the strngyle Jocko fixing his tecth in Prince's already dyer.

HAWDON AND HANLAN MATCHED FOR FOUB HUNDRED POUNDS. (From the Newcastle Chronicle, Nov. 19.) It is not often that we have to record the ratifica tion of such an interesting and important sculling match as that which was arranged in Newcastle yes terday. It will be remembered that at the race be tween Hawdon and Limsden, on the 1th inst., John Bright, of the Mushroom, o| 1 to finda man to row the Delaval sculler for £200 a side, and at the same time stated that he would neither have William Elliott, of Blyth, the present champion, Robert Watson Boyd, of Gateshead, nor John Higgins, of Shadwell, to represent him. James Percy, who has persistently supported Hawdon for all his im- portant engagements, requested to be made ac- quainted with the name of the man that the Delaval pitman was called upon to meet, and Bright at once stated that he was authorized to make a match for Kaward Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada, to row the Tyne seuller im May next y the offer, and to tic the engagement £10 a side was posted in our hands, a meeting being tixed to be held yesterday afternoon, at the Newcastle Chronicle office, to draw up and si; “. Percy and Bright duly attended, and during a portion ot the procecdings Mr. Chris: topher Burrass was also present. ‘The first point to exop up for discussion was as to whether Hanlan was to allowed any stim as expenses tor rowing upon the Tyne. Bright thought that in asking that something should be allowed to the Canadian he was only requesting thit which was customary. Perey, however, replied tha: Hanlan was coming to this country under any cir cumstances, and he could not, therefore, grant any. thing as expenses. For a time Bright held out for the point, but he ultimately waived it, and the pro- ccedings afterward were conducted in a thoroughly business like manner, and with the best of yood feel- ing. The date for the match is Monday, May 5, next; but, in order that the merits of ‘the men may be fairly put to the test, power is given to the wee, it the river should prove rough on that day, to postpone the race trom day to day until smooth water is obtained, ‘The terms and conditions by which the contest is to be governed are of the usual character, but it will be compulsory upon both competitors to row through the second arch of Red- Bridge.
