6 THE WALKERS. but Steadily O'Leary Suffering, Gaining in the Race, , RUMORED FINANCIAL TROUBLES. “Old Sport” Thirty-Six Miles Be- hind, but Still Game. MME. ANDERSON’S PROGRESS The Plucky Little Pedestrian Makes a Speech. ‘There is dissatisfaction in the camp of tho pedes- trians at Gilmore's Garden. The financial suecess of the undertaking is likely to produce unpleasant feel- ings between some of the parties immediately in- terested, Christmas Day’s crowd caused te trouble in the first place, and outside speculation commenced when O'Leary left the track on Thursday to visit the front of the building. Another visit of a similar character is said to have been made by the champion yesterday morning, and immediately afterward there was a war of words in O’Leary’s cottage, during which, it is reported, one of the ticket takers was struck in the face, Immediate tfnierference pre- vented serious trouble. Friends of both parties assert that there cannot be a wrong perpetrated without de- tection. Safeguards are so placed about both the selling of the tickets and taking them at the door, the slight- est discrepancy would be discovered. Rumor has it that Mr. William H. Vanderbilt despatched his pri- w.te secretary to the Garden yesterday for the pur- pose of inquiring into the alleged effort of somebody to perpetrate a wrong in this particular. It required ‘but a short time, it is further said, to convince him that the system adopted was correct, and that every- thing was in commendable shape. According to the articles of agreement each day's receipts are handed o Mr. James Kelly, the bookmaker, who is responsi- ble for their final division. The public has taken such interest in the contest, the large amount of $18,000 or $20,000 has been taken at the office, and there is a chance of this sum bging largely increased. SHAKY BUT GAME. “ Sport’ has only got @ stitch in his side,” said Barney Aaron, “and he’s going to lie down a minute.” ‘This was at 1h. 5im. 30s. yesterday afternoon, when the Bridgeport pedestrian had completed 295 miles. ‘The same oid limping, shuffling gait was apparent. He ‘was stiff and cramped in every limb, and it had really come to that point when it would seem to be merci- ful to take him offthe track for good. Suggestions of this kind, however, were declared to be foolish by those intesested inthe success of the undertaking. Sport," is all right,” said they, ‘and he'll walk the time agreed upon.” Though hardened by a life of exposure, it is reared this ordeal will be remembered by bing to the day of his death. Coming on the track at 12h. “Mm. Friday morning, after a rest of th. Sim. 30s., Campana managed to pull through five additional miles by 1h. 29m, 198., which mule 270 nriles to his credit. Whiie le was walking | the last mile of this distance O'Leary, who had been asleep 2h. 44m. 17s, reappeared, and with great vigor began his labors anew. Those in the building hurried to the side of his track and cheered him quite lustily. Pegging away, with a short stop of 2m. 15s, on the 293d mile, the ‘cham- by William E. Harding, one of his ‘attendants, ran the total distance against his name on the score sheet up to 300 miles) This was at Sh. 16s, A.M. The achievement was received with many cheers. Breakfast of perch was served him the 309th mile, the time being about nine o'clock. This required lh. lin. . Once more on the track he worked with a will, and at Th.j2m. 35s, P.M. 319 miles was marked as the result. “He's walking tresh as a daisy,’ suid a friend, and really such was the case. His complexion was clearer, his step more elastic, his stride somewhat longer, and the geferal appearance of the walker much im: coved. He seemed a machine rather than @ uundie of flesh, blood and nerves. behind all this, however, there was much pain. Though somewhat improved, his heel is in terrible condi- tion. It will take a momth, his physician says,'to re- store it to a normul condition. In addition to this an- noyance one of his little toe nailx came off on Wednes- day, and still, laboring under these difficulties, he continues his journey as if nothing had happened. Stewed tripe, tish chowder and now snd then @ bit of mutton chop was Campana’s fancy ter faod yesterday. Occasionally a glass of wine was given him, which he relished exceedingly. A diet with the view of giving him strength has worked in some re- spects quite satisfactorily. The ‘stitch in his side’ kept him within his quarters for 2h. 30m. 30s., it being 4h. 22m. P. M. when be returned. “He's ‘very stiff,” said a score of gentlemen, and very stiff he was, indeed; but inashort time he “warmed out” of it and jogzed along at a ed, say four mites an bour. Occasionally would run portion of a lap, when the crowd applauded hun heartily. At 2h. 50x O'Leary was lictie more thap 29 miles the be tramp. “Sport” finished his 400th mile at 30s., and he was extremely particular that the men at the notice board should put it up correctly. “That's it,” be said, with au approving shake of the head, when the figures went up. His 306th mile was made at 7h. 15m. Jus., and five more was added to the score at 5h. S5m. 05a, A bouquet, the first he had received, was handed him on his 3lith mile, amid the applause of hondreds. Within the next hour he was given several floral tributes. During the evening there were fully 4,000 persons fn the garden. When the clock marked 3b. (7m. 35s. O'Leary bad travelied 325 miles; at 4h. dda. 10s., 330 miles, and #40 miles at 7h. slim. 268. In good form he scored another mile, making the 345th, At times the music was 80 inapicining. the spectators were ised to intense excitement. The champion travelled is 350th mile st 10h. 15m. 10s., portions of the last lap being made at spurt. “Sport” at this juncture was 35 miles behind. RUMORS OF AN ARRANGEMENT. The “true inwardness” of the walk seems to ba simply this, On Monday night last, the backers or rather the four persona interested in “Sport’’ came to conclusion that they bad “enough.” Their man aiso inclined to feel that he wad satisfied. The $1,000 up for the match they kuew were gone, of felt that it was, and | fo in bad luck ‘they cast about for a way to get out of their difficulty.

MME. ANDERSON’S PLUCKY UNDERTAKING. Punctually at a quarter of six yesterday morning drowsy and sturdy Mrs, Perley, better known as Mrs. Anderson, completed her seven thousandth round of the little track im Mozart Hall and 1,000 out of the 2,700 quarter miles she has so gamely essayed to do. Fond of applause, she fully appreciated the little storm of it which weleomed her arrival at this, almost the turning point of her journey, and, brightening up, she sped round, lap after lap, with fine spirit and vigor. No matter at what hour you happen in on her you have to wait but a few minutes, then comes the cautionary signal from the little jingle bell; and three minutes later, at the second jingle, she is out of the narrow corner door at the end of the stage, and step- ping freely off aroung the hall, her companion, Michael Heary, stout, jolly-looking fellow, walking ut her side, carrying her little whip and bracing her up with joke and laugh and many @ manly wor HER STILE OF WALKING. O'Leary's shoulders are back of the vertical, his arms are bent to aright angle and his fists sway sharply back and forward on a horizontal line as they clutch the trusty corucobs, absorbents of spare perspiration; but her hands are let loose aud down, and swing back and forth at arm’s length and sey- eral inches from her body, But the most marked difference is in the step itself, O'Leary's tar tilt back of the body and forward of the hips sets his broad Dootheel down with a thud which digs a clear mark in the sawdust at every step, while his toes and fore- foot angle sharply up in the air seven or eight inches above the ground, Anderson, on the contrary, puts her foot down more gingerly, the toes seldom being over three inches above track, while the heel is touching, and the heel itself not rising high at all as her foot leaves the ground, Hence the fine, springy step which O'Leary always takes, pick him up where you will, whether on the first mile or the four hundredth, is always absent here, hers being rather # toddie than the step usually seen on the racing path, and the wide apart way of setting her feet down adding to this roly-poly effect, while her head, instead of being set firmly over her spine, sways from side to side at every step and looks as if she was trying to make it keep time with the music, which, indeed, is occasionally the fact. Her head is broad between the ears and round as Modoc Captain Jack's. If it is noticeably low and flat in the whole region called spiritual—may be out of deference to the city she is in—it is more than made up by the un- mistakable knob, high above the ears, which most people cali firmness. Many have thought that while her tongh and chunky body, broad und deep, like a Normandy horse’s, would stand this tremendous selt- imposed ‘strain, she would yet lack the requisite strength ot head to get through with her hazardous work. But one need not study her dogged face and look very long to see that hers is a ian’s resolution. Whoever saw Tom Sayers or James Renforth, two of the most resolute men who ever trod British soil, will see that this thickset, middle-aged wom@n is out of the same sort of stock—the kind that is equal to the severest strain the physical constitution can pos- sibly stand, BER GREAT ENDURANCE, Wonderfully she bears this strain. All the after- noon long yesterday she did not look tired, scarcely more so than several of the quiet, well bred ladies who viewed her eftorta with plain admiration. Her eyelids were not red at the edges, nor were her eyes especially heavy, quite lacking the dark, bagyy look below so common among those who have lost much sleep. pod eee is iets ae fresh, irlish affair-so pleasantly pori on_ the lite- Sized cuts 80 numerous on spe bill hoard. “res represent a young girl.

But while in the dsytime she does not look as if the work was wearing on her, in the evening, a little before eight, comes her drowsy time. Then,do what she will, her eyes will go shut. On the track, in her room, on her couch, uo matter where, they will not stay open. Henry, the liveliest of companions, may do his best; the band may clatter, the piano squeak till old Mozart’s bones rattle in their coffin--it is ull of no avail. However right she may be in the theory that her body sleeps while her mind is awake, certain it is that every now ond then she falls asleep on the track. Twice last evening she mistook the number of her rounds, and, instead of doing the full seven, stumbled toward her door once at the end of the sixth and again just atter the fifth. It was all the festive Henry could do to keep her on the track, while the Yast thickening crowd were with diflicuity kept from protruding heads and feet across her track and so tripping her up. Now thé band begins, and “Grandtiather’s bee ticked, ticked wasit oe t i. merry-go-lively pace that, rising to the 8] of the ape she Best thins with her hand as she walked aud quickened till the slow 3:40 and 3:50 of the the day time actually shrunk to scarcely over three minutes to the quarter-mile during the thick of tie evening work. Hundreds of solid Brooklyn people were on hand to clap aud cheer—Geueral Tracy, who proved almost as good a stayer in another sort of a great trial in @ hall two blocks away as solid Mme. Andersou is do: here to-1 it; Judge Troy, many cople from the Heights many more who never Bctare had supposed Mozart Hall just the place to go to. But the order is excellent, and any lady may wi satisfy her curiosity to see one of her own sex 3 tempting such @ marvellous physical feat by sitting for a while and watching the brave little plodder at her work. A STARTLING RUMOR, It was whispered here and there Inst night that everything was not right here; that the Mme, An- dersou who walked all day and’ during the evening rush was not she who in the dim carly morning lours wearily sped round aud round the little tambark circle. Some one very like her, of the same size and shape and age, a sturdy walker, too—in short, a twin sister who so resembled her that even those familiar with both could scarce detect the difference. She it was who was enabling this now well kubwn woman to seem to keep up what appeared @ pater physical feat than woman ever undertook before. Not a few things, too, sbout Mme. Anderson lent force to the theory. If there were such a sister she could readily don her sister's costume, or one just like it, while no one, of course, was allowed in their Little dressing room to learn the secret. The few lookers on after midnight would naturally be drowsy and not uotice closely distinctions in them- selves difficult to detect at any time, and Mme, Ad- derson’s apparent freshness during the daytime served to strengthen the suspicion. Bat careial. inquiry soon dispelled these rumors. Not only were the men who walked with her found eager to vindicate her yood name and to vouch that all was fair and above be but there were relays of secret watchers, impelled by hope of catching her, at some ungnarded “moment, letting fatal three minutes after the first bell pass without making @ start and so securing the $100 she had premised to whoever should so catch her; others who had private bets on the result, others who had divers interests, different sets of reporters, amon; them one from the Henanp, one from the Times anc another from the Brooklyn Bagle, dividing the eutire twenty-four hours among themselves and jotting every quarter mile, and the minutes and seconds it %, and these all, with one accord, denied the story phatically. The little woman's own bearing, too, Frank, learty, brave, attending as faithfully to ber hard work as O'Leary does to his; backed also by her splen- did reputation in Kngland for having done 1,000 miles in as many hours, 1,200 miles in 1,000 hours and 1,500 iniles in 1,000 hours, and all within two yeags back, she showed there was nothing im- possibi@or even improbable in the task she had set herself, But at ten o'clock last night occurred an ident which, whatever doubt might be still re- ning, helped much to dissipate it. wv \denly, without leaving the track, she s! on the platform and addressed the assembled hun- dreds. ine SHE MAKES A SPRECH. She thanked them sincerely for their patronage and cordial support, as she made thus bold to do, trom having beeu actress, singer and pedestrian, She did not wish to appear bold. She felt truly thankful to the Giver of all good gitts for giving her the strength to enable her to go through with her task.

ILLNESS OF THE DUKE OF MAGENTA—FEARS FOR HIS RECOVERY—GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE AMERICANS—ENGLISH PREJUDICES—OPIN- IONS OF MR. LORILLARD’S HORSES. Lonpon, Dee, 14, 1978. Everything in the way of racing is at a standstill in England at present, owing to the severe frost which has now lasted over a week, Not dnly is racing stopped, but coursing and hunting have been brought up with’ round turn, and those.who cannot skate or : do not care to do so are at their wits’ end to find some kind of outdoor amusement with which to em- ploy their time. The regular flat racing seasou closes here in November, but between now and the time when the saddling bell at Lincoln next March rings ‘up the curtain for the drama of 1879 there is plenty of steeplechasing and hurdle racing going on. No matter how wretched the weather is in the way of rain or fog, nor what condition the course is im, so far as mud is concerned, no postponement is mad- of any racing fixture. Frost, however, is a sure cause for no racing; for, as can be readily understood, jumping on hard frozen ground would knock the best horse to pieces. During the Bresent week the fixtures at Bromley and Kingsbury have been postponed till the ensuing week, and if they cannot be held then the meetings must, under the rules of the Grand National Hunt Committee (the Jockey Chub for stoeplechasing), be abandoned. There is no great harm done if they never take place, for they are only resorts for the riff-raff of London, and few people with any great amount of respect for themselves visit such courses. If they do they take good care to leave their valuables at home. It is at the training grounds that the present ‘weather is the great drawback just now, tor the usual thing done by a trainer in December is to get the yearlings forward enough to give them a short spin by way of a trial, so that their’ owner can form some estimate as to how they are likely to turn out next year and enter them for some of the numerous stakes that close on the first ‘Tuesday in January. What with the cold fog im the first week and the frost since then, not a horse has taken a gal- lop or canteron Newmarket heath, and thie same re- mark applies to nearly every training ground in England, many of which are now covered with frozen snow. In such a case the trainer will lay down a lot of straw in the paddock, making a track round the field or enclosure, and this is called a “straw bed.” ‘The teams are walked and trotted daily on the straw, but only im case of urgent necessity is a horse cantered, and then he must be a sound limbed one. Some trainers prefer giving their horses walking exercise on the well made roads which abound everywhere, and on the occasion of a recent visit to Newmarket your corre- spondent noticed Mr. Mat Dawson’s long string of horses taking their daily constitutional in this way, and among them were Wheel of Fortune, the crack two-year-old of 1878; Ringleader, Charibert, High and Mity, Muley Edris and Marshall Scott, all of whom are likely to figure to advantage in the three- year-old events of 1879. ‘Mr. Lorillard’s horses were also out taking road ex- ercise, but Duke of Magenta was not with them. It will be a matter of great regret to all Americans to hear that this grand colt has gone dead amiss, as they say here. He never seemed to recover thoroughly from the effects of the voyage, and when he arrived at Newmarket he was dreadfully light and tucked up. Indeed, it would be difficult tor any one not a good judge of the conformation of a horse to imagine he was entitled to the respect his erformances claimed for him. The Duke of Magenta as capital girth, and when filled out his quarters should show great development, while his lexs look like steel bars and as ht and free from blemish as the day he was foaled. When he was being walked prior to the development of his present sickness he showed great liberty of movement, and if a horse is w good walker he is almost invariably a good mover when extended. Before the close of November the Duke was suffering from a slight cold, and what with the ‘ud weather since then and his weakened condi- tic it developed ina most serious manner, and at this time great fears are entertained that the horse may never be fit to gallop again. It is to be bopes that such will not prove to be the case; for, beyond the pecuniary loss to Mr. Lorillard, the opportunity of tp Tne really good American bred horse aguinst the English cracks will be lost. There is little.doubt that the Duke of Magenta will have, if he regains his health, a most successful season next year, and his loss to the turf and to Mr, Loril- lard would be matters to be deplored, It seems pretty well decided that Mr. Lorillard’s horses will be trained at Newmarket. There was some talk s few weeks ago about their going to Isley, in the South of England, but since Mr. Brown has ar- rived that idea has been abandoned. All of the horses are stabled at Mr. T. Aldcroft’s; but before regular, steady work will be begun in the spring Mr, Brown will have his charges more immediately under his eye, and is about making arrangements for an es- tablishment sufticient to accommodate his family and his charyes. Mr. Brown has al been in treaty with Mrs. Daly, mother of the late Johnny Daly, the Jockey, for the hire of stabling on the Terrace at New- market. With the indifference so characteristic of the Eng- lish press, little or no notice has been taken of Mr. Lorillard’s horses beyond a three-line paragraph noting their arrival at Newmarket. Englishinen— and there are few more thoroughly English than those on the sporting press here—have the most su- ireme contempt for foreign Meg ag reg Nothing that i worth doing can be done by any person but an Englishman, and you cannot get them to make any allowance. A glauce at the records of international competitions will prove this. The America, when she cleaned out tho British yachts, did not, according to the scribes, act tairly—she carried too much can- vas; but that stibject waa hurriedly dropped and covered up. ‘The fight between Sayers and Heenan, won as fairly by the American ug ever a fight was in the world, was made a draw to save the honor of England. When Ki and Heenan fought the referee acted in the mos shametul manner, und if he was not well paid for his services he deserved to be, for when King was knocked out of time he took all the time he wanted to get round instead of the referee calling upon him to toe the mark at the end of the half minute. In Title Lacie ig be Americans beat the foreign teams out ot their boots and English writers seck in every way to belittle that supremacy, as rapidly attained as it was startling. The Columbia College crew were hardly looked at while they were practising at Hen- ley, what little was said being plainly to the effect at the New Yorkers hat better lave stayed at home, for they had no chance against an English college crew.. They won, and it was then time to look tor an excuse, and anything will do in snch @ case, so it was that Columbia Col- lege was made into # university, and, of course, how could such poor crews a5 were sent from the I colleges expect to compete with one from # univer- sity? It is uecdless multiplying exumples of the un- fairness of the English sporting press in this It is worse than wing teeth to them for an Eng- lishiman to be besten at any game. If Mr. Lorillard is successfal in his races wud carries off any great event during the sojourn of his horses here these slumbering scribes will tind out that the Knytish two or three year olds, as the case may be, are a most indifferent jot, and it was fortunate that Mr. Lorillard had not been racing in the days of Soand So. Then some one will discover that Saxon and Leamington, the sires, were bred in Hugland, and, of course, Mr. Lorillard’s horses are virtually Enylish and reflect additional lustre upon the English turt. The Manchester ‘Sporting Ukromele has had the only’ notice of the foreiyners which has come to light in any Knuglish paper, and as it will be of interest to hear what a thoroughly independent journal days, the correspondent 's remarks may well be given in full :—4 “The newly imported American horses, the property of Mr. ¥. Lorillard (a wealthy gentleman Fromm that country), have of late been doing a good amount of healthy cxercise on the roads, ‘here aro several really good looking auimais among them, Unes bay colt, two years old, engaged in the Two ‘Thousand Guineas, Derby and St. Leyer next year, is as good looking @ colt as any one would wish to see.

Mr. W, H. Wilson, proprietor of the Abdallah Park Stock Farm, situated at Cynthiana, Ky., last week visited the Home Farm, at Milton, Mass., and pur- chased the one-half interest in six one-year-old colts, by the renowned trotting stallion Smuggler, whose home is now at Abdallah Park, but who is still the property of Colonel H. 8. Russell, of Massachusetts. It will be recollected by all adinirers of trotters that Smuggler’s record is 2:15, and this stands to-day four seconds faster than the time that any other stal- lion ever made, The six colts are now en route for their new ‘home in Kentucky, and are taking s rest by the way at the stable of Messrs, Richmond & Payne, No. 1,206 Broadway. They were visited yes- terday by a large number of ‘gentlemen, admirers of their wonderful sire, who pronouncedihe youngsters as finely matured and well developed as any colts they bad ever seen. In fact many supposed they were two-year-olds from their Dirge size and forward- ness. Many speculations were made by the connois- seurs while looking over the colts as to which of them, would ake the fastest trotter, Mr. Robert Bonner selecting a brown gelding whose dam was by Rising Sun, while Mr. Wilson pinned his faith to @ gray gelding whose dam’ was by T. §S. Long, son of General Knox. After this speculation of the future merits of the colts all agreed that Smuggicr will get trotters which will not only have speed, but will be of fine size and substan- tial conformation. As a stable companion to the above colts Mr. Wilson has his chestnut gelding Mazomania, who has a recor of 2:20';, and which he drove out on the road yesterday afternoon; and the writer, who met Mr. Wilson aud the horse on the road, found Mazomania to be @ yery bold, stylish gelding, moving with strong resolution and great speed. ‘The horse has a large body on short legs, with bone and muscle euough to carry very heavy weight; a large flax tail, which he carries high, and a long white or blonde mane, which, streaming sbove the neck, makes a very showy picture. Should there be good sleighing be- fore next Monday it is possible that this remarkable looking horse may be seen on the road again. The above gelding and colts were not all that the visitors to the Excelsior stable had the pleasure of looking at. Hopeful, the trotting wonder, was there, whose record to wagon is 2:16)4, the fastest ever made, who was led out several times from his box ‘and was much adinired by all presont. “THE TRIGGER.

When Mr. Mills was presented with the fourth prize he said that he mercly enterod the contest without any expectation of woyning it, and he did not desire to keep the inedal or hoid himself open tor coutest for it, a# he had sot under an assumed name; and as bis business was of 4 professional character he surrendered the badge to Captain Boyardus, who in- stantly told hiu to ‘hold the budge aud show it to his trieuds, and whenever it was wauted the Captain would be responsible for it.” Many pertinent remarks were mate by those present in favor of field sports. The greatest mystery of the evening appeared to be that the winner of the badge would not give his name, but would hold the badge subject to Captain Bogardus’ order. Dr. Talbot said he would like to know why Dr. Carver or Ira Paine had not been contestants for the championsiup. Me said they assuimed the title with- out meeting any rivals in wn open contest for the honor, aud he further suid that he would wager $1,600 to $1,000 thas there were three men in the room at that time who could beat either of the above named individuals at glass balls or pigeous according to the Dope er ‘The m broke up at a late hour, shooters deligheod With (holt vish to the metropalls, SKATING. ‘The weather yesterday was not 96 favorable for the enjoyment of skating in the Park ason Thurs{ day. The sky was overcast early in the morning and the atmosphere somewhat close, and the first element, therefore, of a perieet day was wanting—namely, a speckioss blne sky and a bracing, mvigorating air. Perhaps it was owing to tuis Absence of favorable conditions that the scene on the ice yesterday some- what lacked the brilliancy and life of the picture pre- seuted on the opening day, The dull, gray sky nud the general premoumtions of @ snowfall which were generally felt in the morning deterred many people trom Visiting the Park, and the 1majority of those who skimmed aloug the ice did not indulge in the frolicsome capers which were #0 generally ob- served ou the opeuing day, Nevertheless there was a goodly multitude on the: jee all day, and at times the skating wae as lively, as dashing and as reckless ax it well could be, Bat when the snow began to fall many of the fair skaters tucked up their skirts and sighed, regretfully, “Oh! we, had better go,” and the lake lost many of its most gravetul participants in-the sport. As the snow, gntly thong it fell, accumulated the skating naturally became less muooth and easy and the “boys’ lost much of their eager vim and spirit, Many then thought that perhaps to-day would be clearer, and after all it would be bet- ter to postpone their fun for the present, And thus it was that before nighttali the number of skaters had greatly fallen off, and that many of those who had come to stay until late in the evening had gone home by dusk, At the Capitotine Lake, Brooklyn, the attendance was unusually large. An immense throng was assembled at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, during the afternoon and evening. ‘The ice ie in splendid condition, with the exception ot that portion sround the first bridge, whieh has been ai open by the heavy winds during the re- pion EW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT. SEXTON STILL CHAMPION. SLOSSON PLAYS A GOOD GAME, BUT FALLS ONE HUNDRED AND ‘THIBTY-SEVEN POINTS SHORT. Every seat in the main hall, gallery and on the plat- form of the Tammany Hall general committee room was filled last evening some time before the billiard | champion, William Sexton, and his antagonist, George ~F. Slosson, made their appearance to play their match game of 600 points up. Anumber of ladies occupied seats on the platform and took a lively imterest in the progress of tho game. There was at stake the Delaney Champion- ship Medal, previously won by Sexton, and $1,000 in cash, in addition to the proceeds of admissions, which amounted to half as much again, Sexton was the favorite at odds of 100 to 50 from the making of tho match. Both pleyers were greeted with applause upon entering the hall. Louis Guillette was chosen marker, Samuel Knight umpire for Slosson, A. P. Rudolphe for Sexton and A. D, Morse, of Boston, wes made referee. ‘two sets of balls were laid upon the table and some time was spent in determining which should be used, They were carefully weighed, and when the choice had been made the players quickly seized their cues and stood side by side to open the contest. THE GaME. Sexton won the string for lead and counted from the spot. It took him just twelve shots to bring the balls together on the side cushion within the string. They travelled slowly along to the centre of the table, where they netted him just 50 points, Scarcely separating them over an inch at any time, he played them nicely into the corner for 67, A shot played a little too hard spread them again, and at 71 he retired on an easy follow shot along the end rail, Slosson found the balls in fair shape for his opening play, but they did not-run well tor him, and he missed a long draw after scoring 8 points. Sexton followed with 3 and missed a shot which caused some to laugh and others to whistle their surprise. Sexton’s bad play seemed to affect his opponent as well as himself, and the audience Jaughed goodnaturedly as each in turn retirel with a score of 2 and 3 pots, For the next six innings neither scored over a dozen. Sexton was the first to recover, and added 31 to his string on his ninth play. So iar in tae game the bails favored Sexton, his opponent having to fight against dificult positions. latter, however, in his. tenth inning, by carefully played long and short draw shots, brought the ivories nicely together on the end cushion for 28 points, Here they parted ona shot which Sexton believed a miss and 80 claimed, The referee decided it @ count and Slosson continued at his work. His play was around and across the table for some time, but his efforts to reach the cushion tailed—the balls seeming determined to remain in the open field andapart trom each othur. He retired utter scoring 73 points, making the game ‘stand—Sexton, 122; Slosson, 102. SLOSSON TAKYS-THE LEAD. ‘The twelfth inning gave Slosson un opening which he improved tor 65 points, finishing with a close miss on a round-the-table shot to gather the balls in the lower right hand corner. This yave him a lead of 39, from which Sexton deducted but 7 on his next play, going to nis seat on a short tollow in the corner. The miss gxuve Slosson another good chance to work the bails along the side cushion. ‘Click, click,” they went, sixty-seven times before they ‘froze’ aud were spotted. He missed his play from the string and sat down 99 points ahead, the markers standing 136 and 2: and one were all that Sexton gathered from following in » In his fifteenth inning Slosson by an excellent draw shot diagonally across the table brought the balls very close to the “‘crote! kept them until he had made 24, They rolied “straight” on hin along the side cushion on his last play, aud he finished with an effort to bring the balls in position again by a stroke around the table, ‘SEXTON ALLAD. Sexton opened his -ixteenth play with 115 to make to reach his adversary. He found the balls close together on the upper end rail and nursed them jontly to the corner, Turnmg it in a single shot e begat a course down the side cushion and continued it to the other end of the table without once getting the object balls more than two inches apart. Ninety-eight strokes were 'requited for the journey, The ninety-ninth was a turn to the lower end The ext brought a storm of w plause.. He earnéd 23 more crossing the end cushion. By mésns of ® shot trom the cushion first, Sexton got on the other side of the object balls and carried them back across the cushion, ruu- uing his count up to 154, when they “froze.” He @ the spot shot nicely, but retired after making 4 more on a three-quurter follow shot, played so as to kise from the cushion. ANOTHER CHANGE IN THE TIDY. Nothing daunted; Slosson eee, from his chair, aud playing with the same fortune he hud* in the commencement of the game, rolied up nearly 50 points by a lot of mixed plays. “The balls landed on the side rail finally, however, and he held them there until he reached 100 points. A screech of exultation from Slosson’s friends delayed him a inoment, after which he resumed work, bringing the balls to the end cushion after three or four open shots. They got uway trom him again, and, after scoring a,total of 140, he misssed a difficult massé, which left the balls as weil for Sexton as he could wish. He only made 16 out of them when they parted, and, atter four more vain efforts to get them in company again, lie missed. joskon won @ round of applause for a difficult draw shot, but his scoreonly profited him 5 points by the next inning. The twenty-first tuning brought him 21 points, Sexton in the meantime having made but 13, leaving the game—Sexton, 319; Slosson, 437. ‘THE FINISH. Some of Slosson’s ill luck now fell to the champion, but he managed to pluy well aguinst it, and secared 43 in his twenty-second inning. In his following play Slosson fouled the red ball and retired. Sexton went in for 4 miss and Slosson took 26 from # poor openti The champion twenty-sixth inning the balls on another teur along the side and end enshions and made them yield 104 points before they broke away from him, and he stopped ‘with 103. The run which gave him the lead ayein by 28 opened with a very lucky shot, his ball passing between the second object ball and the side cushion ou the direct play, but returnin, with “reversed * from’ the end cushion au: making the shot. This seemed to demvralize Slosson. for he made three misses in succession, and Sexton, in his twenty-ninth play, played the balis quickly to cushion, and the monotonous “lick, click” contin- ued till the game closed. ‘A loud cheer greeted the finish, The score was—Sexton, 600; Slosson, 463, MULDOON AND BAUER.

William Muldoon, with whom Professor Thie- baud Banor has recently signified his willingness to wrestlo, was interviewed last evening by ® Hxnaup reporter in feference to the proposed event. He expressed great willingness to meet Professor Bauer, but denied that he was, the chal- longing party in the contest. He said:—“The whole history of the matter is this.

DIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HIB PORT AND EUROPE--RAILROAD —_—- DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NEW YORK ALMOST ENDED. It seems that the object for which New York merchants have been fighting for a long time— via, the abolishment -6f railroad discrimination against New York city in the matter of through treight to Burope—is about tobe accomplished. It will be remembered that the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and Transportation, Produce Ex- chauge and other commercial bodies of our city have pecu sending committees to the Legislature year after year to fight-these railroad corporations and to secura for New York city the samo advantages ag her sis- ter cities on the Atlantic seaboard, Their efforts mct with yery little success, the Committee on Railroads of the Legislature leaning toward'the railroad mo- nopolies, ‘Lhig city has been without the proper ter- minal facilities, and has had no elevators, like Phila- delphia, Baltimore and Boston, where grain can be put on shipbourd without extra cost. WHAT HAs BEEN, In this city tho reshippiug of all material arriving by rail made an additional cost to the merchant of three cents per 100 pounds. Up to the present time it has been the policy of the officers of the New York Central and/ Hudson Riyer Railroad Company to divert all Through freight trom this city and to send it from Albany \to Bdétou vin the.Boston and Albany Railroad, claiming at the same a8 an ex- cuse that there were no per shipping it here, This was considered a8 Thad Frc as most of the shi to Europe by way of P! Boston ure on account ot New ¥é would be willing to pay Higher rates for by way of New York, because they w opportunity of ‘déing’ the ‘condition? of their goods before sending them abroad, Tt fs confidently expected how that all this will be remedied. A new elevator has been erected at Sixty- filth strect and the North River and new wharves have been constructed. A contract hus also been signed between William H. Vanderbilt and John C. Seagar, ot No, 20 William strect, by which the latter agrees to place at the disposal of the New York Central Rail- rowl,as many iron screw vessels as may be re- quired to carry ocean freight, the same to run trom West Sixty-ti{th street to Liverpool, Hamburg, Havre and all other important ports in the United Kingdom or on the Continent. Some of tiese vessels are on their way here from England at the present time. ‘THE NEW LINE. It is calculated thatou January 11 the Lotti will sturt trom this port tor Hamburg, and the Nellie on January 1s, Lhe Zanzibar will leave bere for Ant- werp on Junuary 8; the Cosmopolitan starts for Havre on January 18, and the tollowing . vessels. will shortly ply between this port and Liverpool:— Elpuanstone, Langshaw, Amelia, Serapis, Straith- airly, Helios, Lnbros, Ganos, and Jeranos, If more ships are necessary for the business they will be forthcoming. The terms of the contract are strictly private, and were refused yesterday, but it was stated that only fredeght and no ers would be corrled on these vessels, It was also learned that nd elevator or wharfuge dues would be charged. This will be a great saving to merchants, as at the present time the clevator churges are Ladd 1,000 bushels, and the wharves being leased by city to private parties exorbitunt whartage fees are charged. A Herawp reporter iuterviewed Mr. William H. Vanderbilt yesterday in. rogard to the formation of this contract. To a question whether a di- rect commumocation between the Central aud Hudson River Railroad companies’ terminus in this city and rts in Great Britain and on the Continent had been effected Mr. Vanderbilt said that he himself was not ag yet personally aware of the fact. He acknowledged that negotiations had been going on for some time to accomplish such an object, and claimed that his roads had always been working to place this city on an equality with all be ports and had never Qiscriminated against New ‘ork. “ALWAYS WITH YOU." ‘The following cases are presented to the charitable as worthy of immediate relief :— At No. 513 Fifth street, room No. 16, 9 famfty of five are very poor, The husband is @ street musi- cian, but cannot earn moré, on an averdye, then a couple of dollars a week. ‘The wife has been stek tor some time past.
