GLORIOUS SLEIGHING. How New York Enjoyed the Sport Yesterday. S ON THE ROAD. SCEN Aristocracy and Democracy Speeding Along Side by Side. Yesterday was one of the most glorious sleighing days of this season. The sky, though not clear or blue, had that grayish tinge which seems to be thor, oughly appropriate to the season, for it looks preg- nant with more snow, and, consequently, with more sleighing. ‘Che air was cold but dry, and the im- mense amount of shovelling, riding and sweeping of Thursday had smoothed down the snow and made splendid roads for the runners, From the appearance of Fifth ayonue, the drives in the Park, St. Nicholas avenue and the Boulevards, it seemed as if, with one accord, all New York had gone out sleighing. Probably on no day during the present season has the number of vehicles on runners been 80 large as it was yester- day, and the number of those who purticipated in the enjoyment of sleighing could have been counted by thousands, A stranger who saw these throngs of pleasure-seekers dash past him behind their fleet horses must haye become convinced at once of the fallacy of the popular notion that New Yorkers have no time for diversion, but are always at money mak- ing. DEMOCRATIC SLEIGHING. One of the striking features of the day was the va riety of vehicles whose owners had substituted run- ners for wheels. Express wagons, milk carts, gro- cery wagons—all sorts of humble conveyances used for daily, humdrum busi purposes shared in general sleighing, and might be heard tink- ling their bells in all parts of the city. Some of these unpretending sleighs even ven- tured out on the road in the midst of the hand- some and “aristocratic” turnouts of the fashionable “ports.” ‘The Park hacks had all put on runners, and their nuge, unwieldy bodies without wheels pre- sented a most comical appearance. So rare had the sight of wheels become yesterday that one looked instinctively at the horsecars and the “L’” roads overhead, and wondered if the wheels of their cars were not also to come off and be replaced by runners, The jingle of bells in some places, as for instance, atthe Fitth avenue entrance to the Park and at the 110th street exit from it, where the sleighs came tinkiing along in a perfect stream, filled the passer- y's ears and hada most cheerful and exhilarating effect. It made one feel as though some huge excur- sion or picnic were going on, and as though all New York were upon some hilarious, gleeful “spree.” SPORT OF THE BOYS. If the horse cars still ran on wheels they were at least indirectly used as sleighs by the ingenuity of the juveniles, who attached their sledges to them by means of strings, and thus enjoyed what they fa- miliarly called ‘‘a dully sleigh ride,” without even putting a colleague to the exertion of pulling them ulong. These little sledges were everywhere—not only rolling down high snow banks and glidin; along the hard, smooth pavement, with remnants of frozen snow effording them an easy road; not only attached to horse cars, but also to all sorts ot trucks, tarts and other vehicles. It would not be very ditli- cult to say whether the small boy on his $2 skeleton sledge, pulled along by a grocery wagon, did notenjoy himselt better than the distinguished banker with his elegant sleigh, his gorgeous robes, his imposing red feathers, his’ prancing steeds and silver bells. As a matter of fact, the children who were not disporting themselves on their own sledges but wrapped up carefully in sleighs looked very cold indeed. Their appearance reminded one of John- son’s famous definition of sleighing—to sit down on a piece of ice, put your feet ina pail of cold water, and tinkie a pair of bells. Nover were there bluer faces, redder noses, lips of brighter purple than glist- ened in rows after rows from tue dashing throng of turnouts iu the Park and ‘‘on the roads.” Whew! it was nice, it was testive, it was glorjous, to anaibi- late space in this cold, brac: brilliant air, seated in these feather light conveyances, and shoot over the glistening, frozen snow like a ball; but, to be sure it was cold! And no wonder, theretore, that the Mount St. Vincent Hotel, in the Park, and the way- side houses aiong the roads way up to Kingsbridge did a magnificent business in providing some warm- ing cheer to the benumbed sleighers, APPRARANCK OF THE TUMRNOUTS. ‘The spectacle in the Park and on the roads was a Most resplendent one, to be sure; but it was the vast number and the never ceasing outpour of sleighs which made it so, and not the superior quality of the turnonts, It wos exsentially sleighmg for the million, not for the few. Watching the constantly changing, kaleidoscopic scene trom the Mount St. Viacent Hotel yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, when the enjoyment of the sport was its height, the reporter overheard the ob- servations of several experts, who all seemed to agree that very few of ‘the Park turn- outs were out. they were out, said they, they must have sought more obscure by ways for dis- playing their beauty than the general Park drives and the “popular” roads. Nevertheless, there were some very handsome sleighs, gotten up regardless of cost, whose drivers, maste: istresses and lay dogs all indicated the compreh @ preparations that had been made for this outing. In these fine sleighs the female element was, of course, in a great numerical preponderance, The lap dogs, whose little curled heads peeped trom the thick ah 4 robes which caressing hands had carefully tucked round them, looked out with rueful, watering eyes as though they could not sce where the fun came in, aud why they—petted darlings that they were— should have been exposed to such cold sport, EALY-¥ROZEN PLEASURE SERKERS, When some little narrow sleigh jingled by in which an attentive young gallant sat ged close to his raby- faced wite or “lady triend” the spectator could readily see that both were, if not warm, atleast not shivering. Parties of men in large sleighe also, somehow or other, managed to keep each other warm. Butit you wanted to see a thoroughly cold —with faces all nipped up, and running eyes and scarlet noses—you only to look ata bevy of females by themselves in some large family sleigh, without a male compan- ion, They always looked as though they were freez- ing each other by th very looks, You never saw them “snuggling up” close to cach other and thus imparting to one anoth hat little animal warmih had remained in them. “How glad I am not to have sone out sleighing,” one felt inclined to say at see- ing these haii-frozen pleasure seckers alight from their costly sleighs and stretch their numb iimbs be- fore they appeared to be able to ascend the steps of their residences, HOMEWARD BOUND. At about half-past four o'clock the stream of sleighs began to turn backward, and halt an hour later there seemed un endless hue of them jingling back trom Kingsbridge, from High Bridge, rrom Jerome avenue, from St. Nicholas avenue, to their Texpoctive starting points, Lucky the cook who had shrewdly taken into account the increased appetite sure to come from one of these glorious sleighrides. What grateful smiles must have fer! It was, iudeed, @ splendid curative for dyspeptics or hypochondriacs. Nobody could return trom the ex- hilarating effects of the ride and the picturesquo sights it ailorded without feeling a new zest for hite aad pleasure and a splendid appetite for dinner.In spite ot the cold which many of the riders doubtless suf- tered-—for it often seems as though almost uo amount of covering can keop one’s feet warm in # sleigh— there ix no question that yesterday's sleighing must have been 4 material ition to the sum of New York's enjoyment this winter, ~~ OURLING, THE INTERSTATE MATCH COMMENCED, BUT DE- CLARED “NO GAME”—SEVEN OF THE TEN RINKS ONLY PLAYING—THE SNOW NOT WHOLLY REMOVED FROM THE CURLING POND, After two postponements because of bad weather, the interstate curling match—New York va. New Jer. sey—was set down to be played yesterday, and the several skips or captains were in good time notified of the determination of the committees having the event in charge. Promptly as circumstances allowed the curlers responded and by one o’clock the bank of the pond at Central Park was crowded with distin- guished representatives of Auld Scotia's favorite out- door sport. A serious obstacle prevented the satis- factory beginning of the matcn, The snow had not been removed irom the ice, though a gang of men soon made their appearance and began this work, In hort time there was sufficient space cleared to en- uble one or two rinks to be laid down, and as there wore ten rinks @ side it was decided that they should take possession of the ice in numerical order. At two o’clock the curling stones of the first rink were humming over the frozen surface, and as fast as pos- sible other rinks had room to play, though it was half-past three o'clock when the seventh was marked off. Then the laborers were ordered to proceed to the skating pond, which left three rinks a side unpro vided for, Many of the players had come from a distance, and it was deemed a pity that they could not take an active part in the important match, From oxpressions of regret there was a natural drift into expressions of dissatisfaction, and it was not long be- fore the legality of @ume, as being piayed, was questioned, Finally, at ten minutes \ NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JAN M. Stewart, x % of four o'clock, Mr. + gn A. t. Andrew's Club, who had been called the twenty skips together for consultation. He brietly told them that much dissatistaction had been exp! the sides unable to play and that some action must be taken to make the event leza!, All the Jersey were in favor of call it “no me,” and ‘that some day next week be named the match, ‘The majority of the New York skips Ie to roceed, and desired to the eighth, ninth and tenth rinks be given the privilege Spe the allotted time to-day, their scores being to the aggregate of the in progress. This did not suit the Jersey gent en, and as the skips did not seem to be able to reach an amicable settle- ment of the difficulty the umpire decided to call it “no game, and fi: Wednesday next at twelve o'clock for its decision. At the time the umpire called the skips together the New York rinks were far ahead of the Jersey players, the score standing :—New York, 93 shots; New Jersey, 49 shots— a majority of 44 in favor of the former, Notwithstand- ing the umpire’s decision piay was continued until atter five o’clock, the score at_the close being: —New York, 128 shots; New Jersey, 85 shots—a majority of 43 shots in favor of the former.

COCK FIGHTING. FIRST DAY OF THE INTERSTATE MAIN BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA—THE OPENING BATTLE OF THE MAIN. Cuantorte, N. C., Jan. 15, 1879. The interstate cocking main between North and South Carolina, heretofore referred to in the Hena.p, began to-day. AU the birds have been here long enough to have recovered entirely from the effects of travel, and are in first class condition, They comprise many different varieties on both sides, such as the North Carolina flary eyes, the stone fences, Georgia dominiques, Franklins, shawl necks, Sim Jenkinses, stones, wer horses, &c., and many which have been crossed until their original strains are no longer to be traced except by the methods of the stud book. ‘They are a lively lot of steppers; fine plumaged, shapely in body, with clean cut limbs—a lot, in fact, the superior of which has never been seen even in Charlotte. Fach party has on the grounds between forty and fifty cocks. The contract stipulates that each side should show twenty-one, and when they came to match this morning, at ten o'clock, no difficulty was found in matching eighteen out of this number. The forteit money was $60, but this was carly taken down, for both sides were all business aud no notion was entertained by either of flying the track. The weights were limited between 4 lbs. 6 oz. and 6 lbs, 4 pay, 804 the matching was over within an hour and a half. North Carolina, pepreetigs by S, B. Holt & Co., won the show, and the heeling began for the first battle of the main. Only ore was to be fought on the first day, and by the time three o’clock came the sporting men had come also in large numbers, ey paid their fifty cents at the door and came in, it seemed, with five, ten and twenty dollar bills be- tween their fingers. The popular feeling was in favor of Holt’s cocks, but the bets were generally even when the birds were set upon their fect in the pit. Sid, Holt himself, a sallow little man, who speaks only when socket to, heeled and pitted his own cock, a black, with lead colored legs. He weighed 5 lbs. 9 0 Sim Jenkins cock from a Boston hen; and the bird which sat opposite him was a light red, a stone fence crossed upon a war horse, of the same weight as the other, pitted by R. ©. Franklin, a tall man in a light suit, looking like a North Carolina sheriff, and @ man as game as any of his chickens. ‘The main has been arranged according to Turner's rules, slashers of course prohibited, and the crowd rose from the seats and guthered around the pit the moment the cocks went together. y broke exactly even, and at the end of the third pass the backers of the red were in excellent spirits. He did not ress his advantage, however. ‘The black broke, with ‘is feathers and after afew blows, in which he himself was se tras € punished, brained his antago- nist, and was lifted bleeding from the pit. Thus opened the cocking main with a severe and de- cisive battle, and the sporting men began to cast around for hacks with which to take off the wire edge of their appetites for the fun. Several of these were fought before large crowds during the after- noon, evening and night, with varying results, and to-morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, the sain be- gins in deadly earnest. WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB, The Westminster Kennel Club havo appointed the second week in April for their third annual dog show, and have engaged Gilmore's Garden as the place for holding the exhibition. The show will open on Tuesday, the 8th of April, and continue until the 11th, ‘The premium list will be very valuable and an unu- sually large entry list is expected. Many valuable dogs have been imported expressly for this show, itis anticipat that it will ecli, in interest any of its predecessors. The New York show comes first ane circuit this year and will be followed by large shows in Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and other cities, BANK OFFICERS INDICTED. James W. Donelan, secretary, and Patri ‘k Sheeran, director and member, of the Finance Committee of the Mechanics and Laborers’ Savings Bank, on Grove strect, Jersey City, which suspended business two months ago, were yesterday brought into the Hudson County Court on a capias, presented against them by the Grand Jury for hay- ing, as alleged, conspired to defraud the bank’s de- tors. ir. Donelan was arrested at the king house by Court Officer Donovan, aud Mr, Sheeran, who was formerly in the Assembly and a Jersey City Alderman, was found at bis houso by Deputy Shoriff Peel. The indictment, which sages that they conspired to defraud the depositors by suppressing the fact of the bank's insolvency, of which they were cognizaut in February, 1877, was read to them by District Attorney A.'T. McGill. They pleaded not guilty. Francis Lehane became surcty in the sum ot $2,500 for the appearance of Mr. Done- Jan, and O. T. W.

Fight Between Professor Clarke, of Cleveland, and George Baker, of Canada. TIME, ONE HOUR AND SEVENTEEN MINUTES, Clarke the Winner After Fighting Thirty-Six Rounds. (B¥ TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. } Prrresune, Jan, 17, 1879, Yor some time a prize fight has been on the tapis here between Professor Clarke, of Cleveland, and George Baker, a Canadian, who has fought several battles within the ropes across the border. Neither man was considered much by our local sporting men, who paid little attention to the affair; but when the fight came off this morning it proved a stubborn one. Very tew persons were present, none of the pugilists here being given the tip, and the spectators were limited to the backers of the men. Their sec- onds and a dozen low sports who had got wind of the affair were the only persons present. The parties left the city yesterday evening, and early this morning pitched a ring near the town of Saltsburg, twenty-two miles from the city. The fight was to have been fora purse of $500, but the last deposit of $150 a side had not been put up, and a wrangle taok place, but it was finally agreed to battle tor the money previously deposited, ‘The men entered the ring at daylight. Charles MeCoy had charge of Clarke, end Tim Sullivan of Baker. A sport named Stewart was made referce. The ground was icy, but the snow having been cleared away straw from a neighboring barn was strewn about for the spectators. ‘THE FIGHT. Frst Rovxp.—This was a short one, both men showing more skill than had been expeeted of them. Clarke led off and forced the fighting, but Beker was wary. and, after an exchange, went down without a mar! SEcoND Rounp.—Clarke got in his left hand on Baker's mouth, claiming first blood, which was al- Jowed. There was sharp fighting, in which both men received punishment, and the round closed with a grapple and fall, Clarke on top. Tuinp Rounp.—This proved Clarke's superiority asasparrer. At the opening he yot in two vigorous blows in succession on Baker’s face; the only return being a light one on the body. The round ended in Clarke's favor. Fourra Rounp.—This was Baker's, who changed his tactics, and at the callof time worked in for a tall, throwing Clarke heavily. Furra Rouxp,—The Cleveland man was more cautious in this round, and some fine sparring en- sued; but a heavy blow with his right hand was handsomely stopped by Baker, who got in a couple of stingers, which for the first time drew blood on Clarke. The round ended with a tall in Clarke's cor- ner, with Baker on top. é ‘he succeeding ten rounds were fought cautiously by both men, Baker getting much the worst of the punishment. SixreeNrH Rounp.—This was quickly and sharply fought, both men being eager to inflict punishment. At its close Baker went down under a terrific blow from Clarke, which caught him over the right eye. ‘This was the first knock down. SEVENTEENTH Rounp.—Both men were exhausted and slow to answer the call of the referee. They met in the centre of the ring and moved about cautiously for an opening for some time, without an exchange. A light touch on Baker's sore eye was answered with @ thump on his adversary’s ribs, to which Baker had for some time directed attention, and this was tol- lowed up with a tap on the chin, and the round ended with Clarke going down in his own corner, For several rounds atter this Baker tried to force the fighting, but only exhausted himself, without doing much damage. During the twenty-sixth round Clarke got in blow after blow, several of them landing on Baker's sore spot, his ye being completely closed. It was evi- dent that the fight was Clarke's, although Baker was stil game and came up promptly. Clarke, trom this time on, forced all the fighting, however, and twice forced the Canadian across the ropes in his own cor- ner. In the thirty-first round a claim of foul was made, Clarke striking his opponent as he fell to his knees; but it was not allowed. From that to the close the Clevelander had it all his own way, Baker coming up on the call only to be knocked down. At the call of time for the thirty-seventh round Baker was unable to answer, and the Clevelander was declared the winner. ‘rhe time of the battle was one hour and seventeen minutes, The victor came to this city and went at once to the south side, He is comparatively unhurt. Baker was brought into the city later, and was attended by a physician, The fight grew out of jealousy be- tween the men, both of whom are professors of the manly art, and have been giving lessous in this city. A false rumor was current that Baker was the “‘un- known” matched against Clark, of Philadelphia, and that the fight was that expected event. It was stub- born enough to give color to the mistake, THE MEETING BETWEEN CLARK AND KING POST- PONED-—A NEW AGREEMENT. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17, 1879. The surmise in the HrnaLp this morning, that a, postponement of the encounter between John H. Clark, of Philadelphia, and John King, of Troy, would be made necessary by the action of the police authorities here, has turned out to be correct. A meeting of the parties interested has been held, and it has been resolved to postpone the affair until after the hearing of Clark, King and Chambers, who were held in bail by Magistrate Pole to appear on Wednes- day morning next, the 220 inst. This will be the day after that‘ upon which the fight was originally to have taken place, and the fixing of that date prevents the ht coming off at the time intended. At the meeting of the parties which has just taken place a new agreement was drawn up, signed and sealed, and its contents are to be kept secret. It is not deemed prudent to make pubiic the time specified in the paper. Arthur Chambers desires to deny a rumor that he is anxious to meet Clark himself in the ring. He says that this is not true and that nothing would in- atice him to fight again. He was not locked up all night at the time of his arrest, but procured bail in hours’ time. GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH. At a meeting held last evening at the residence of Mr. 8. L. Parsons, at No. 34 Lefferts place, Brooklyn, Mr. John Winslow was called to the chair and made the following remarks upon the subject that was tho occasion of the meeting :— ‘We have met to consider como of the reasons why genealogy or familgy histories are important and vai- uable as contributions to general history. I desiro to say at the outset that the office of yencalogy is not to please the vanity of descendants of illustrious sires, Ifa man has @ strong influential family to look back upon in the centuries it is very well, let him enjoy it, let its influence upon him be conservative and give him a certain sense of responsibility to continue to maintain a good family name. But let him not be puffed with pride because of an illustrious ancestry; on the con- trary, ‘‘let him take heed lest be fall.” Family his- tories are of great importance as primary sources of local or town histories. It is the histories of the families that make that of the towu; those of the towns make up the history of the State, and those of the States the nation. Now, one word aa to the genealogical work of Dr. and Mrs. Holton, I have had occasion to observe their profound interest in and enthusiasm for yene- alogical studies, They have recently published one large volume of New England geuvalogy which is a very creditable performance. It has received the al- miring praise of critics, both here and in London. It has been brought out at a yreat cost of time and money. Dr. Holton has now manuscripts ready to make twelve similar volumes of tauily histories, but he needs financial aid and personal sympathy. I our coming. together shall help to call attention to the interesting manuscripts referred to and to the ingenious and novel charts of family pedigree of which Dr. Holton is the author, and specimens of which are here, we shall not have met in vain. In the study of influences that shape and give tone to human affairs how narrow is the limit of @ single generation! There can be nothorough study of his- tory that does not comprise genealogical researches. ‘The extent to which such researches are carried is largely @ measure ot refinement and real culture among the people. ‘The address of Mr. Winslow was received with much satisfaction, After remarks by Dr. Holton and others, in which his methods and plans were dis- cussed, the meeting adjourned, FUSS The hen and rooster convention, otherwise the New Jersey Poultry Exhibition, is pronounced by competent authorities a decided success, not only as regards the very fine display of fowls, choice and plain, but in the attendance of persons interested. It is to be continued to-day, to the of people residing in the immediate ity of the Newark Rink, who for eral days and night ve, 80 they suffered terrible torments because of the incessant crowing of the barnyard monarelis and the noise generaliy of the feathory tribe, Yesterday the Kesex county Grand Jury visited the show in # view of indicting the disorderly roosters,” a wag said, “he award of premiums was made yesterday, THE COUNT'S HARD EXPERIENCE, WHERE HE EXPECTED SYMPATHY AND ADMIRA- TION HE IS PLAYED ON LIKE AN OLD BASS FIDDLE—TREATED WITH BOISTEROUS RUDE- NESS BY THE ILLITERATE YOUTH OF NEW ROCHELLE, Count Joannes had a more than ordinary experi- ence on his appearance Thursday evening before an audience in New Rochelle. It appears the Count had been several days in the village seeking rest and re- laxation after his long #1 ined and powerful his- trionie efforts on the Metropolitan boards, His presence soon became known, and a deputation of citizens waited upon the distinguished actor to re- quest that he would give some illustrations of Shakespeare in the Town Hall, The Count was only too happy to oblige, and he looked forward to an oc- casion that would prove in happy contrast to the ex- perience he too painfully remembered of New York audiences. In his mind’s eye he saw the élite of New Rochelie, with looks of wondering admira- tion, listening in breathless interest to the music of his voice, All the boys of the village were shortly aware of the Count’s in- teutions, and they prepared to give him as warm a reception as they knew how. They were encouraged in this by several of those who waited on the Count and pretended an exalted homage for his genius as an actor but winked their eye in another direction. The Count has heretofore acted in regular theatres or recited on platforms where there was no gallery behind his back and directly over his head to accom- modate his tantalizing foes. The Town Hall of New Rochelle has a low stage or platform anda gallery above and behind it. On the occasion in question this gallery was almost entirely screened by a national flag, not in honor of the Count, but for a purpose thut will be presently tnderstood, PREPARING TO WELCOME THE COUNT. The organization to welcome the Count was en- tered into with great spirit. It was understood that he would recite Othello’s address to the Senate, and six darkies dressed in fantastic garb and e: one with a dozen labels on him marked “Senator” were provide: and instructed to advance to the stage when the Count opened in that particular passage. It was also understood that be would give Richard, and re- cite the famous exclamation, “A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!” So a village artist was set to work, and, on a large scroll of canvas attached to a roller like a school inap, was painted a picture of a jackass, with head wn and heels aloft in the air, and bearing the inscription “the Count’s hoss.”” This was rolled up and fixed at the back of the stage under the gallery, to be unrolled at the proper time. Eighteen special policemen, each with a shield as large as a shovel made out of common tin, were enroiled and given Samsonian | clubs to carry. ' The chairs and tabie provided for the Count’s accommodation were as frail as they could be made, and when the table gave way as the Count put his Land on it, and the chair lauded him upon the carpet, the audience roared itself sick, THE COUNT MOVES FOR THE STAGz. The Count was utterly mnoveut of all the prepara- tions that were being made for his appearance, and there was where the fun more particularly came in. When he reached the hall Thursday evening ani took notice of the large attendence and the eighteen po- licemen he was agreeably impressed. ' He said to the sham cxptain of the sham police, yet believing they were the genuine village law guardians, albeit their shields had a ridiculous magnitude:—“In the words of King John, Captain, I commend me to thy valiaut | care.’’ Then the Count, accompanied by Miss Avonia Jones Fairbanks, passed up to the dressing room in the rear of the stage, from which he soon issued and began his oration on the character of Shakespeare. He wore a black trock coat bound all round with two TARY 18, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET, inches of black velvet, a white vest and a purple scarf, in which was stuck some foreign decoration, probably from the Emperor of Morocco, A FIERCE AND WITHERING REBUKE? He had not been long under way when voices from the gallery, in bass and treble, were heard in inter- ruption; but he paid no attention to them and kept straight on. Very soon he was in the middle of the art of Richard, and as he came to the words, “A orse!"’ &c., down rolled the map displaying the al- most life size picture of a jackass. The roar of laughter this created completely bewildered the Count, who was unable to see where the langh came in. Presently he turned his head, and, seeing the cause of the merriment, put on a savage expression ot face and exclaimed :—**Yes, look on your brother's likeness and weep; but I want yon'to understand that I am a lion among jackasses!’ This was re- ceived with great applause, and he was allowed to proceed without interruption for five minutes. WAS IT A DAGGER OR A BUMBLEBES ? He next tackled Macbeth, and as he reached the dagger scene along slender pole like a fishing rod wus secn to shoot ont from the gallery above the head of the Count. From the end of it, attached to a piece of thread, dangled what looked like a large amblebee. The Count knocked it away from his nose several times without paying any attention to it, thinking it was afly or spider peculiar to New Rochelle, Striking attitude aud yelling, “Is it a dagger I see before me!” the thing was dropped di- rectiy under his nose. This was the supreme mo- ment. He grabbed at it with both his hands, but it jumped away from him, while the audience went into convulsions. Looking upward he perceived the fishing rod and saw through the joke, but he was so immeasurably disgusted that he hurriedly left the stage. While absent the engineer of the sport was heard to ask one of his assistants it the cats were ready. A string of live cats were to be | dropped from the gallery on the stage at a particular juncture, but now that the Count showed signs of breaking’ his engagement it was resolved to lea that feature over indefinitely. The Count stayed away but a few minutes and was soon into the middle of Othello’s speech to the Senate. As he progressed he turned around and his eyes rested on the six fan- tastic darkies labelled “Senators” standing in a row below the stage. He folded his arms across his breast, pansed and darted a look at the trembling coons in front of him that was terrible to behold. Then he turned away and finished the oration, A FEATHER BED APPEARS. ; Romeo and Juliet followed, with Miss Avonia Fair- banks as Juliet. ‘The lady was doing her very best ana prettiest when down tumbled a feather bed be- side her, and @ scene of contusion tollowed, the Count beating Se retreat over the table and chairs, but chivalrousiy holding on and covering the flight of his tair protegé. Now it was thought the Count | had surely disappeared for good, and the lads in the gallery were getting miserable.’ George Lloyd chiet character of the village, whose admirat: the Count is only equalled by his devotion t memory of Toi Paine, was in astate of inc disgust, He had intended before the pertorma: was over to come forward and make a speech than! ing the Count forthe honor he conferred on ti village, and at the same time make a spoec on the greenback question, but now the opportunity was lost. Several citizens calied on the Count in his dressing room implored him to © turn, but he refused unless the gallery was cleare ‘Then the lights were turned off, and the gods, think: ing the fun was at an end, poured down stairs and into the street. The lights were then turned up again, and the Count and Miss Fairbanks came for- ward amid hearty applause. WHAT THE COUNT DECLARED. The Count declared that in ail his experience he had never met such treatment as he received in that ‘Lam a gentleman,” said h ‘by birth and & member of the highest court in the land and on an equality with the great and illus- trious of this and other nations, and I am filled with amazement that in this little village of New Rochelle I should be withheld that distinction which the | ata kingdoms and individuals are only too happy to extend.” While the Count was absent the | darkies already reierred to clambered on the stage and cut up all manner of antics. A hogshead, which was intended to be lowered in the grave scene | in “‘Hamilet’’ and to be made vocal by a ventriloquist | hid behind the gallery screen, was prematurely thrown on the stage by somebody who felt # san- | guinary desire to hit one of the darkies, so that arrangement for the part of Hamlet missed’ tire, and the Count went through the grave scene aud the so- liloquy unmolested. of shavings and of beans, several baskets of ancient eggs, stutted pillows and any other articles were hela in reserve tn the gal- lery in case the Count's good nature held ont, but ho “kicked” so decidedly in the early stages of the en- tertainment that the programme was not as full carried out a# its authors intended and desired. Still it was a great night for New Rochelle, aud will tong be remembered in its annals. EXPRESSMEN A jolly time was enjoyed yesterday by the delegates to the Expressmen's Convention, just concluded at the Metropolitan Hotel, ‘They took a view of the city by going on the Metropolitan Elevated Kailway to its upper terminus. Returning to Cortlandt street, the delegates, to the number of about one hundred (rep- resenting all parts of the country, from the Aroostook to the Rio Grande), proceeded on board the steamer John H. Stariu, at pier 18 North iver; went down the river to Custle Garden, turned into the | East River and steamed up to Biackwell’s Island, ‘They were here received by Commissioner Brennan and escorted through the institutions. Authony Allaire, Superintendent of the Workhouse, served the visitors with a tasty little collation. During the excursion, which extended as far down as the Narrows, the delegates entertained each other at the table (which flowed with sparkling liquid as 4 river, like the effervescent Fraser) aud apoke of the curiosities in theit vatious localities, Speoches made by Commissioner Brennan, H. W. Dwi ot Massachusetts; J. K: Joimson, of Kansas City, Mo.; J. M. Fraser, J. K. Hadley, of th Db. Lovering, of Adains Express, Boston; Mr. Tickuor, of Kocktord, ML, and others, The results of the deliberations of the Convention have been eminently satistactory to all interested. It seems that out of receipts amounting to over $600,000 during the past ten years nearly that amount has been paid out in benefits. It is seldom that more than $2,000 remain on hand, as at the death of a member each surviving member of his class is as- sessed $1, and the amount received, up to $2,000 in class 1, $1,000 in class 2 and $500 in class 3, is paid to designated or | representative. The association consists of sixty-two divisions, each ) is, with @ secretary, who levies the assessments and remits them to the treasurer. PAYING FOR HEARING MASS. 4 CARD FROM FATHER BURTSELL. Jaxvany 16, 1879. To rue Eprror or THE HERALD:— I see in your paper to-day a communication signed “Truth” in regard tothe Chureh of the Epiphany, stating that “those who are not in a position to pur- chase a seat are not even allowed within the doors of this church, nor are you allowed to stand without paying.” This statement is untrue, Not only is ad- mission free, but 250 seats are free at each of the early masses—viz., at six, seven and eight o'clock, | and at the half-past ten o'clock high mass 125 seats are free. At nine o'clock there is a mass known as reserved for the children and teachers of the Sunday school, reaching fully 1,100 persons, all admitied free.’ ‘To prevent overcrowding fifteen cents are required for a seat from any adult not connected with the Sunday school. The young lady who complains of the action of the usher oecupied one of the free scate at eight o'clock mass, and when asked to pay for her seat at the nine o'clock children’s mass told the usher that “she was not going to pay that gray whiskered old pap fifteen centsto put in his pocket.” Ifthe usher acted rudely he did wrong; the ushers are in- structed not to be rude even when rudeness is used tothem. The complaint should at once have been brought to the pastor, who would be able to confront the accuser with the accused and thus ascertain what foundation there might be for the charge. It is cer- tainly not in accord with justice, much loss with Christian charity, to publish in a’ public journal a statement derogatory even to a church usher with- out having ‘at least first sought redress from the proper authority, who, in the case alleged, was the pastor, Respectfully, Rk. L. BORTSELL, Pastor of Chureh of the Epiphany. ANOTHER DISCLAIMER. To tue Eprron or tHe HERALD:— Isee by the Herp of January 16 a statement that is calculated to injure the reputation of the pastor and doorkeepers of the Church of the Epiphany. Your correspondent, who signs himself “Truth,” must know, if he is accustomed to attend the above mentioned church, that the nine o’clock mass is cele- brated especially for the children, and grown persons desiring to attend said mass are obliged to pay fifteen cents and to go on the gallery. At all other masses the northern gallery is free, and has been so for the last six months. So, instead of having to pay to stand up, as “Truth’” stated, you actually can havea seat onthe gallery free. Regarding the conduct of the doorkeeper, your correspondent states that the young lady was dragged forcibly from her pew. 1 think that he is laboring under a serious mis- apprehension. I am a constant attendant at the church, aud I have always found the doorkeepers to be perfect gentlemen in all their actions. Iam also perfectly sure that the Rev. Dr. Burtsell would not countenance such a high-handed proceeding. Hoping that you will give this space in your well known and popular columns, I remain yours, &c., CONSTANT READER. ‘To THe Eprror or THE HERALD: — Will you be kind enough to advocate the adoption of free aisles in Catholie churches? In Ireland and other countriesthe people have free admittance to a portion of the church at all masses, and why not in this rich country ? I am sure it would please Al- mighty God to give the plous poor a place iu which to kneel, where their feelings may not be outraged by ignorant and insolent coilectors. The ten cents paid at the door is often needed for the poor shivering creatures’ breakfasts. It secures no seut, secures nothing, not even from auother collector inside the church; but inthis latter case you can give or not. It the chureh gives free aisles without seats all is well. ‘Take away the pews in the middlo aisle and let it be free toall, ‘The rich Catholics of New York would, Ithink, if funds were needed, give their share for this object, a free aisle, or other part of the church, where sailors, strangers and others can go without molestation. Yours, respectfully, A CATHOLIC, THE O'BRIEN MYSTERY AGAIN. (From the San Francisco Call, Jan. 10.] P. 8, O'Brien, the reputed brother of the deceased millionnaire, William S. O’Brien, together with his wife and daughter, left the Baldwin, where they have been stopping for the past month, in the early part of the evening of Wednesday. Great care was taken to prevent her husband from being seen, he being closeted in the bedroom of the suit occupied by the two while the porter removed the trunks from the main room. The husband, with his face covered with a broad scart, his eyes only being visible, was hurried into a carriage hired at a stand other than that of the hotel, and driven rapidly to the Palace Hotel, where they remained for a few hours, when they left that caravansary, and up to alate hour last night had not returned. The sudden departure of the two from the Baldwin 1s accredited to the fact that J. McDonough and his wife, the sister of the late W. 8. O'Brien, had arrived at the hotel from San José on the previous day, and taken possession of an adjoining sit of rooms, and to the visit paid Mrs, O'Brien during the afternoon of Wednesday by Mrs. Flood and daughter. It is rumored that the claim of the alleged brother upon the estate of the deceased millionaire has been settled by the payment of $500,000 to him by Mr. Flood, and that he has disap- peared as mysteriously as he appeared.
