APPORTIONMENTS. “) General Talk Between the the New Board, Members of MAYOR COOPER WANTS TO KNOW. BN CE PTR Can the Head of a Department Exceed ts Appropriation ? saan It was ten minutes past two o'clock yesterday afternoon when Comptroller Ke accompanied by Mr. James E, Morrison, the private secretary of Mayor Cooper, entered the Mayor’s office to attend the first mecting of the Board of Estimate and Ap- portionment for 1879, The Comptroller and Mr. Cooper shook hands cordially and remained for a few moments in conversation until the arrival of Yax Commissioner Wheeler and Mr. Jordan L, Mott {the president of the Board of Aldermen), the other members of the Board of Apportion- ment, Mayor Cooper presided, and Comptroller Kelly o ed a seat at his right while on the left were seated President Mott and Commissioner Wheeler. ‘The proceedings were opened by the adoption of several resolutions, directing the issue of $110,000 worth of Croton water main stock, and $50,000 worth of assessment bonds. These resolu- tious were all passed in compliance with a requisition rent to the Board by Commissioner Campbell, of the Department of Public Works. AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION. Every year in making up the city’s budget an amount of money is inserted which it is thought will De sufficient to pay whatever judgments may be ob- tained against the city. In the preparation of the budget for 1879, however, the sum of $450,000 was appropriated in order to vay “judgments and claims’—the word “claims” being added to the title of the account. This, it is said, was done so that claims against the city might be compromised with- out having to pay interest und legal expenses. This subject was brought up yesterday by Mayor Cooper, when the following discussion exsued:— Mayor Coorrr—I would like to ask the other mem- bers of the Board a question in relation to the ap- propriations for judgments and claims against the city, Which I find in the budget for 1879, Is there anywhere in the action of this Board anything which limits the appropriation to any particular class of claims? Comptroller Keriy—In the case of certain claims where departments have exceeded their appropria- tions creditors could obtain judgments against the city, and what is the use of incurring the expenses of litigation in addition to the amount claimed ? Mayor Coorer—Then if I understand the Comp- er this appropriation would cover any claim inst the city? Comptroller KELL Yes, it would; but then there is another view that can be taken on the subject, and this is that the appropriation would apply only to those cases where there had been a deficiency in the appropriatio: Mayor Cooren—Then suppose in every ease where marti «& bureau has exceeded its appropria- yy expending more than was allowed in the budget, the deficiency can be paid out of the appro- the law in this respect, it would have a valid claim ayainst the cily for the excesa of expenditures over the appropriation. ¥ WER OF THE BOARD, Mayor Cooren—Then I understana you to say that the Hoard of ate and Apportionment has power in case any department expends more than its appro- priation to pay this ¢ out of the appropriation for judgments and ciaim Comptroller Ketty—Yes. ‘Tax Commissioner WHEELER—I do not so under- stand it. Mayor Coopen—Then it amounts to this, that not- withstanding there is a provision in! the charter that no expenditure can be incurred in excess of the ap- nu, this defect is practically remedied by priation for judgments and claims, Commissioner WaxxLER—Certainly not. Comptroller Kenty—fhe appropriation for these expenditures in a general way. Mayor © —Take the Department of Parks, for Instance. Suppose that it had ineurred expenses it» excess of its appropriation. Then, according to your ppinion, Mr. Cofuptroller@I suppose they could be paid out of this appropriation tor judgments and claims. Comptroller Kerty—The Department of Parks was provided for. They gave notice betore the end of the year that there would be a deficiency, and the Board transferred $25,000 to them from the interest tund. Mayor Coorrn--A department can go on, then, and incur expenses in excess of its appropriation, and provision can be made in the next budget to cure the deiect by providing for it in the appropriation for Judgments and ©: Comptroiler Ker if the departments are charged by law with n duties they must incur the Decessary expenses or they cannot carry on their de- partments. Where they have no money to pay their hecessary expenses at the end of the year the credit- ors might resort to the courts and get judgment there is no use in paying interest on the claims and also the cost itigation. 7 Mayor Coc Do you hold, Mr. Comptroller, that where there is no appropriation for the expenses of a departinent such expenses can be paid out of the appropriation for judgments and claims? Is there no limitation by the proposed action of the Board ? Does it apply to any claim ? THE provides ° THE suBsECT. Commissioner WureLen—The law says that no de-- partment shall exceed its appropriation, and I do hot think that the amount in excess could Ve re- covered. Mayor Coorzn—I doubt whether they (the credit- rx) could recover where there is no appropriation, Comptroller Keuty—I think there can be no doubt that where the Board of Apportionment does not ap- propriate the amount required by law to be appro- priated the creditors can recover. Where the law provides that a certain thing shail be done, and no appropriation is made, the city would necessarily be liable. Mayor Coorrn—I do not think an official can bind the city when he acts in violation of law. If there is no approp: n for anexpenditure 1 du not find any law by which it can be paid. Aa official has no right to incur an expenditure and then ask for an ap- propriation. President Mort—Innocent creditors might sififer in such cases. They inight not be aware that there ‘Was no appropriation to meet the expenditure. Kenty—Where a judgment has been it must be paid. time warrants for pay- presented to me for up- ward of $200,000. I would like to know what is tue amount of judgments that are liable to accrue this year. 2. appropriat: ge we hud on obtained and t the judg- be tuily as large as last nis year théy wall full off ot say that. in at the end of the ye iu favor of the polic: A nun r.

A REQUISITION MADE BY THE PARK COMMIS- SIONERS ON THE COMPTROLLER TO ISSUE BONDS TO PAY FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION. At the weekly meeting of the Commissioners of Public Parks, yesterday, the question of the con- struction of the suspension bridge over the Harlem River was debated and the following paper dratted and uecepted as the voice of the Commissioners :— by net of the Lekislature passed in the year th Board of Com aurks may forth: onstruction of & suspen Department with commenee the building or sivi a © bridge worth uf the bridge known as High Bridge, but ereas this act ot more than half a mile therefrom, and w was passed in recoynition of a long existing and ous public necessity for the means of crossing th River, and wherens the land for the | approaches the bridge on both sides of the river hus long bi taken wid paid for by the city, and t thereof has been assessed on the , prope ds its truction will immediately extensive system of highways now in acttal mse 0 sides of the river; and Whereas this proposed brid this especial advantage, that the shores which it is to con- uect are at the proposed pluce of construction bold and ele- vated, so that the bridge will be of a height that will not iinpede the navigation of, the Harlem River as proposed to be improved by the United States government; and whereas the unprecedentedly low price of iron und the this au especially fitting ge the duty which was 60 it: therefore be it, the provisions of ‘section tof if 71, and section 16, chapter waws of 1974, aud for the purpose of providing Tor the expense of constructing the bride over the Harlen.

ARISE IN THE THERMOMETER THAT FILLED THE STREETS OF NEW YORK WITH SLUSH. The rise in the thermometer yesterday and the thawing weather began to make the people of this city acquainted with the presence of an unusual winter slush. In Broadway, where the snow had been removed, there was comparatively little mud or water, but in the lateral streets and less fortunate thoroughfares the soft snow was knee deep. Many of the crossings were impassable, and most of them were only passable when the pedestrian made up his mind to wade across them. ‘lo par- ticularize would be impossible, since nearly very street in the city was a match for neariy v" other street. It was snow, slush, mud, everywhere. And yesterday was only the begin- ning—only an intimation of what is to foliow if the thaw continues. With the immense quantities of snow now in the streets a rapid thaw will be equal to un inundation, For two or three days the sidewalks will be running brooks, and wise men who are coim- pelled to be abroad will go on stilts. Yesterday the melting snow made the streets difficult to horses, and where the snow beds had not re- moved the passage of vehicles required more than one or two horse-power. The foot pas- senger found his journeys extremely dangerous, more Gangerous than they will be to-day or to-mor- row if tue thaw continues. The snow yesterday, which had been softening in the sun, was exceedingly treacherous, presenting an appearance of solidity it did not possess. The pedestrian who put his trust in the snow beds often came down on his nose, owing to his over-confidence. The foot seemed to touch & solid mass, but there was a yielding from the bottom, a slip and a slide anda muddy interment. The acci- deuts were mostiy not dangerous, but the resulting consequences were very annoying. And it Was noticeable tat the crossings especially were ver: slushy even in streets like roadway, Fourteent! and Twenty-third street. Ice has been allowed to re- main on the flagging, and when the foot touches it the unfortunate pedestrian is hurled into the mud and water. As this ice is very hard and will not melt readily it will become more ‘and more dangerous as the thaw continues, and it seems necessary to call public attention to the danger. It was especially noticeable that the public squares and parks were in bad condition. Even Madison and Union squares were miniature lakes and forerunners of the lake and river condition which the whole city Will be in to-day aud to-morrow unless the thermonmeser Calls and another freezing spell sets in, PROTECTION AGAINST ICE. HOW THE SHIPPING IN OUR HASBBOR, IN THE DELAWARE AND OTHER RIVERS MAY BE SCREENED IN WINTER AT SLIGHT CosT, New Yonx, Jan. 22, 1379. To THe Eprror or THe HeraLp:— It is proposed that a boom of square timbers, with acable reeved through large staples on their upper sides, be securely fastened to the rocks on each side of the Hudson River at West Point, after the close of navigation for the season, where in Revolutionary times & cable, below the surface, was secured to pre- vent the British fleet from passing that point, thus also detaining them under the guns of that fortress, ‘The same might be done on the Delaware at some narrow place at the foot of fregh water. This would prevent the heavy ice generally found in fresh water when it gets seperated from its main body in tem rary thaws from passing down by the ti into our bays, dangerously obstructing navi- gation. This occurs often to our North Kiver ferries, and frequently large fields of fresh Water ice have made temporary bridges between New York City and Brooklyn. Perhaps the Legislature ought to be invoked by the ferry companies to enact that a block of this uature may be allowed at the close of navigation, and so remain till removed by competent authority. Perhaps in the enactment the United States government ought to be asked to place the Engineer Departinent at West Point in charge of its construction and preservation. Some people say that such a boom could not stand the pressure of the whole body of ice from Albany to West Point. Probably not, if it could be brought to bear thereon, But your good sensé informs you that no such pressure could take pluce. There would be nothing but the natural force of the tide against the boom. WILLIAM COVENTRY H. WADDELL, BURGLARS IN LUCK. The robbery of the Oriental Bazaar, at No. 11 East Fourteenth street, which was reported at the Central Office yesterday, was cleverly executed. The bazaar is owned by Frederick C. Phillips. He had @ largo stock of curiosities on hand, mostly articles of Turk- ish and Japanese manufacture, and never fancied that the knights of the jimmy would turn their attention to booty of that kind. Only the ry precautions observed in most places of were taken, und the rear door, which an area not readily accessible to strangers, ved by locks only.

CONTINUATION OF THE CONTEST BETWEEN MESSRS, HALL AND HATZEL—POLL CLERKS * AND INSPECTORS WITH POOR MEMORIES, ‘The contest between Messrs. Hall and Hatzel, who atthe last election were the candidates for Alder- men in the Sixth Senatorial district, ig being carried on with considerable vigor by the principals. The situation at present is an attempt on the part of the Hatzel faction to get Judge Wandell to entertain a complaint against Messra, W. E. Hall, Thomas Boland, Michael Murphy and Cornelius Foley— inspectors of election in the Eleventh Election dis- trict of the Eighth Assembly district—for having, as alleged, falsified the returns on last election night. It has been stated under oath by Lawrence Clody and others that Thomas Boland, chairman of the Board of Inspectors in said election distriet, announced the result of the canvass for District Alderman as:—Hall, 130; Hatzel, 98; Strack, 70; Kenney, 85; Hock and | Hoffman, 4 each, which were afterward at the same place and on the same night changed so as to read:— Hall, 200; Hatzel, 28; Strack, 70; Kenney, 85; Hock and Hoffman, 4 each. Total, 207. Papers were brought from Police Headquarters and the county canvassers which showed that such a change had certainly been made; but whether legally or illegally is now under discussion, The effect of this change on the general result will be better un- derstood when it is known that the total majority for George Hall in the ninety-two election districts composing the Sixth Senatorial district was only 112. If, therefore, Mr. Hatzel got 93 instead of 23 in the Eleventh Election district, the difference to Mr. Hall would have been about 140 votes—70 gained by Hat- zel being {0 lost to Hall—which would have given Jacob A. Hatzel about 28 mgjority and the Alder-, manic seat; hence the bitterness of the present strug- gle and the formidable array of counsel on both sides. The evidence given by the prosecution thus far was intended to show that by the poll clerks’ re- turns which gave Hall 200, Hatzel 23, Strack 70, Kenney 85 and Hoffman and Hock 4 each, with a total of 207, Mr. Hall could not have received so many votes if the other side got 70. To this Mr. Hall’s side reply that it was perfectly probable and po: that he could.#They say that Hall was on every ticket and the canvas: ood thus :—Hull wand Kenney, Hall and Hatzel, 23; Hall, ; Hock and Hoffman, 4, and defective, 3, HALL MUST EXPLAIN. When Judge Wandell called the case yesterday, Mr. Purdy, for the accused inspectors, rose and moved that the complaint be dismissed as untenable, as nothing had mn adduced hitherto to show that they had falsified any returns. The paper which had been brought trom Police Headquarters by Chief Clerk O’Brien, aud which purported to be the cer- tificate of election sent by the inspectors to the sta- tion house on election night, and which declared the vote for Hall 130 and for Hatzel 93, was not in evidence against the accused, uor could it properly be until it was proven that the signatures said to have been appended to it by the defendants were genuine, The other side had made no attempt to settle that bee J important question, nor could they have done so they tried, With regard to the 200 votes, he would say that Mr. Hall’s name being on all the tickets it wae perfectly possible for him to have obtained more than 200, Further, Mr. Purdy con- tended, the Judge when the papers containing the allegations against the defendants were submitted to him did not think there was enough in them to issue @ warrant. . Judge Wandell simply said, in reply to the counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Wachner, who was about to oppose Mr. Purdy’s motion, “‘Mr.'Waehner, it is not necessary for you to go on. As the matter stands I shall ask the other side to explain the apparent dis- crepancies.”” John J, Very, the republican poll clerk of the Eleventh Election district, was called to the stand and testified that ie Lad kept a careful tally of the vote for District Alderman on election night on a piece of note paper and transferred the same tally to the offi- cial tally book aud footed up the canvass; he could not recollect just what the figures were, but he did remember that before he announced the result of his tally and addition thereof he heard Thomas Boland, chairman ot the inspectors, declare that Hall had received 130 votes; le had no distiuct remembrance of any other figures, but he knew that when he himseif 48 poll clerk, a tew minutes after Boland’s statement, announced the result, there was some taik of a mistake having been made by some- body; Mr. W. E. Hail had said that Mr. Hatzei had been credited with more votes than he was entitied to. Cross-cxamingd by Mr. Waelner, witness testified that he could not say that either he or the other poll clerk had been found fault with; in fact, the in- spectors agreed that the poll clerk’s tallies were cor- rect and that the error been made by themselves; the witness was not prepared to swear to any exact figures as the result of any part of the canvass; he had no recollection of auything that occurred on the night of election other than what he had aiready told, but he was ready and willing to swear that whatever was set down over his siguature in the tally book was right, as he sealed the book and delivered it in person to Chie: Clerk O'Brien on election night. many inspector of elections, who had said to Mr. Boland that a mistake had been made, He could not remember anything, not even who were the ‘am- many and who the anti-Tammany candidates; he recollected that @ mistake had been made in the Din- |- knew how the mistake had been made; kept a tally on @ sheet of note paper and Mr, Hall’s tally was so large that his name had to be carried down to another place on the paper below Hatzel’s, who was credited with the former's second row of votes. The first line gave Hull 130, the sec- ond gave him 70, he supposed, but he could not swear to it. Mr. Hall persistently denied that he could remember cuy figure or tact connected with the canvass on election night, except that a mistake had been made in Hatzei’s favor in the return sent by Mr. Boland to the station house, He (Hall) went there to recall it, but could not get it. The examination was here adjourned until this mo: THE FIGHT AGAINST TAMMANY. Pending the hearing on the order to show cause why the Tammany Society or Columbian Order should not be prevented by ® mandamus of the Supreme Court from receiving «as members Horatio Thompson and the 156 other gentlemen sccepted as candidates for admission, which hearing, as will be remembered, was set down for next Mon- day in Supreme Court, Chambers. An interlocutory order to show cause was applied for yesterday to Judge Barrett by Mr. John D. Townsend. He asks thet an order to show cause be granted why certain portions of the complaint should not be stricken out as irrelevant. The order was granted and made re- turnable to-morrow morning, when the case will come up for argument. POLITICAL FINANCES, WHAT JUDGE KASMIRE 18 CHARGED WITH HAV- ING PROMISED TO PAY YOR HIS APPOINTMENT— A SWEEPING DENIAL BY HIS HONOR. Part 3 of the Marine Court, yesterday, Judge Goepp on the bench, was the scene of @ trial in which Jacob M. Schmidt sought to recover $416, alleged loaned money, from Jacob Messer. The money in suit, ac cording to plaintiff's story, was loaned to the defend- ant in 1873 and 1874 to defray the political expenses of defendant when he was a candidate for member of Assembly, and had never been paid back, ‘The detendant admitted that the money had been borrowed and that it had been used to defray his po litical oxpenses in running for the Assembly, but de nied that he was lable for its payment. Ho asserted that, at the time the money was borrowed, Judge Kasmire cherished aspirations for appointment to his present position; that the Judge then promised dofendant that if he would use his pdlitical intlu- ence to procure his nomination as Police Judge by the late Mayot Havemeyer he would ay $500 toward his political expenses and allow him Bis month additional out of his judicial salary; that when be borrowed frou the pisivtifl the mone; in suit he informed him of the woderstanding wi dJuage Kasmire, aud the money was loaned by piain- tiff only on the expectation that trom Judge Kasmire should come his pay. Not to him, theretore, but to Judge Kaemire defendant insisted that plaintiif should look for his pay. Judge Kasmire, it was ad- mitted, got his appomtment, and it was here pro- posed by Air. George Blies, Jr., to yo farther an show by evidence whut the defendant did for purpose of procuring such appoiutment, but this evidence was objected to by Mr. Frederick W. Diehl, counsel for plaintiff, wud the Judge ruled i( owt, ‘Yo sustain defendant's statement as to the alleged ayroement with Judye Kasmire ex-Police Captain Javob Siebert was called. His story was to the effect that about the time when the money iu suit was loaned he was present in a@ place in Stanton street, in company with Juaye Kaemire, the deiendant and others, when the Judge agreed to pay on account of defeadant's poutical expenses $500, and to allow him until he got some place $150 a mouth out of his judicial salary, provided detendant used his influence to secure Mis appointment as Police Justice aud snecveded. ‘The detendant said $126 a month would satisfy him, and on these terms the witness understood the agreement to have been concluded between the parties, He could not aay positively, however, if this agreement had been brought to the knowledge of the plaintiff in the caso, but thought it had. JUDGE KASMING'S DISCLAIMER, To rebut the testimony of the defence, Indge Kas- mire was called to the witness stand and made @ sweeping denial of the whole story as told on that side, In vindication.of his political and judicial vir- the he testified as follows:—I was appointed Police Justice by Mayor Havemeyer on November 4, iXi4; ‘touk on any consideration to pay to Mr. , oF to be responsible to any sum of money to be never Messe} ® certain i rH him in the payment of what was known as clection for the purpose stated, not even to the extent of one cent; never made any agreement with Mr. Messer to pay any such money aud never paid any; did not agree with Mr. Messer that if he would raise or borrow some moncy for such & pur- pose he (witness) would pay it as soou as he was able, but op the contrary loaned him money m 1874; Behinidi, the plaintiff, never payment of any mouey, nor dia he (witness), to b nowledge, ever tell any one that Schinidt was paid. Q. Was there at that time, or at any time, any arrangement between you and Messer by which Messer was to use any efforts or iueur any expendi- tures in connection with obtaining ior you the posi- favemeyer? A. He tion you uow hold from Mayor may have said that he made efforts; Idon't know that T received any particular benefit from him; he told me that he was using his intluence for me with some Aldermen, but I never promised to re-ompense him for that. ‘This substantially presents the testimony as sub- mitted to the jury, at the conclusion of which coun- sel-for the defendant said he thought it scarcely worth while tosum up, a the Court had ruied out the principal testimony on which his client relied, In response to a question from the Court as to whether counsel for the plaintifY desired to sum up, the answer was in the negative, aud Judge Goepp at once brought the ease to an end by announcing le ment in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, Mr. Bliss said he would not ask for a stuy of execu: tion, as he thought it probable that Mr. Messer would be found no more responsible in the premises than Judge Kasmire. “ALWAYS WILH YOU."

Time was conveded for the selection of a referee, two parties named having refused to act.

DOG FIGHT. MATCH FOR SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS BETWEEN TOSS AND GUESS. -TIME, THREE HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES—GUESS THE WINNER. Certain circles have been deeply interested of late in the chances for investment on the merits of bull terrier owned in this city, named Guess, a dark brindle, that had won three victories and was open to any engagement of a similar nature. The con- versation of its owner excited the ire of a Brooklyn fancier, and the result was an agreement to tight, | Guess had been bred from imported stock, an@ his prowess was considered such that an imported dog was deemed best to compete with him, The animal named Toss was brought out from England in the fall of the year, and as his father was a celebrated fighter and usually victorious much was expected from Toss, and when the declarations of battle were arrangéd considerable money was put up on tho foreign dog, even though he had been untriod in the pit. The terms of ‘hatte were:—To fight at thirty pounds, tor $300 a side; the place of battle to be decided on twenty-four hours previous to the fight; $100 to be put up on signing agreement, $100 two weeks previous to fighting, and the remaining $100 on the night of and pre- ceding the battle; the weighing in to be done at eight o’clock P, M. precisely, and to fight as soon there- atter as possible. On Monday afternoon, therefore, a large party met in a west side hall and then started for the scene of fighting, which was in a barn on Long Island, some miles back from metropolitan neighborhoods. At eight o'clock the dogs were weighed, both turning the scale at thirty pounds, Then the company were requested to purchase tickets of admission to the pit in the atoresaid barn, and by nine o'clock fully 150 persons were slowly freezing in the roomy, airy structuro. Seats had been erranyed in tiers along the sides aud ends of the building, aud these were not only filled, but the ralters were crowded with men eager to see tie fray. The weight of these people, with the wind, caused the old shed to and occasionally sway, and through knotholes and cracks the cold, piercing air found its way in all directions till ev one felt blue with thecold. Long delay was caused by the inability of the backers of the dogs to get @ referee, nearly every one having bet money on the issue of the fight, and the backers refusing to have for referee “any one who has bet against my dog.” When the delay and cold at last worked the crowd up to indignant ex- pressions @ referee was selected, who, as soon as the $600 was placed in his hands, ordered the dogs to be brought in. ‘THE WASHING. Guess was the first shown up, and looked in good trim, the odds, while the doy was being waxhed down, being 6 to 3 in his favor, When Toss, a light brindle, a few minutes liter, came in he did not teke kindly to the water, and ‘attempted to bite his trainer, whereupon the odds fell to 6 to 2 against him, several half hundreds so bet being eugerly covered. The crowd by this time were warm with excitement, and the exclamation of one of the backers of Guess ot “Look hat that feller there a *andlin’ of Toss hall hover urter ’es washed,” started a growl that had scarcely subsided when the dogs were led to their respective corners, ‘THE FIGHT. At half-past ten o’clock Guess, who had won the toss, was let go, and scratched at once, getting an ugly juggler hoid on Toss that in less than ten min- utes ‘told how the fight must inevitably end, and the betting suddenly stopped, as one eayer in- vestor of a moment before gaspingly cried, ‘My eyes! itis $25 toacent now.” Another, who had put up his money on ‘Loss, offered “$25 even that his side was @ youe dog,” but met no takers. The struggle between the dogs, whose writhing bodies were rolling about the pit, ended in Toss breaking the hold on his throat, but maki no show of fight himself, Guess soon obtained another, aud shook Toss all around the pit, until an ex- cited cock fighter cried out “I'll pound him!” ‘The laugh created by this scarcely subsided when ‘Yoss got the leg of his “upper” antagonist in his mouth, retaining his hold only a second, however. Guess shook him up lively in return. He hud lost much of the power of his lower jaw in the first of the scratch, and did so little damage to the cur be- neath him that eager offers were male of “$10 there will be no dead dog in the pit to-nig! which was taken only in one or two instances, ‘The fight now assumed such @ complexion that the handler of Guess attempted only to yet a turn, pecially as Toss showed # disposition to get away for a@ moment; so the anomaly was witnessed for over two hours of the handler or a dog attempting to stop his own dog from fighting while his opponent was urging him. Gibes of all descriptions were bandied across the pitirom the backers of Toss to those who by their praise had induced them to invest on him, especially as there was not the slightest possibie chance to hedge. All the time of ngating neither dog had uttered « sound, and the ery of ‘They're parlor fighters” was met with, “Ob, that’s tue way they were brought up, you kn: but Toss aint domg much that way now. It’s a poor Tess he is any ti ‘For three hours and twonty-two minutes this style of tighting was kept up before aturn was obtained from Guess. The dogs were then taken to their cor- ners, and Guess scratched, Toas dying with the final shake; but in order to take the money they were turned again, and Guess scratched on the dead dog, his owner taking immediacely thereafter the $600. No suspicion of s sell out is entertained by any one in regard to the dog Toss, but the 1g was generally expressed that “the animal was an inbred cur and nothing else.”” THE PRIZE FIGHT. CLARK, KING AND CHAMBERS STILL WORRIED BY THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE—THE MAGIS- TRATE'S HEARING POSTPONED UNTIL TO-DAY. PHILADELPALA, Jan. 22, 1879, ‘There was a large crowd at the Central Police Sta- tion this morning in anticipation of the hearing ot John H. Clark, John King and Arthur Chambers on the charge of conspiring for a prize fight. The Chief of Police, it will be remembered, caused the post- ponement of the examination until to-day for the purpose of preventing the Clark-King fight from coming off yesterday, the time originally agreed upon. None of the parties were locked up, all being out on bail; but the authorities knew that the men would not have an opportunity of meeting as per agreement. One of the local papers had a sensational story this morning, describing the contest as having come off yest down in Delaware. Of course the atory is utterly false, without 4 shadow of foun- dition. No such intention was ever entertained, and neither time nor plice of meeting bas yet deti- nitely agreed upon, nor will it be until a conference of the parties takes place. The time will be within two weeks and the location probably Canada, ‘The examination to-day did not come off, owing to an engagement which would haye preveuted one of the legal luminaries, appearing for Clark, from being present this morning.

In stringing for the lead the referee wax unable to decide who had won, and the order, “String over again,” was given amid laughter. Garnier proved the better mau in the second attempt, He went to work with his coat ou, looking every inch a quiet, gontlemanly cueist. The balls broke fairly for his first effort, and with a little judicious nursing he was credited with 42 points, Gallagher took off his coat, aud commenced cautiously, He missed, Garnier ran up 39 in his second inning, aud sat down with a total of SLio a Viank score for the Western man. It Was 105 to 10 in favor of the Frenchman at the end of the fifth inning. In his next trial the latter failed to score, and Gallagher went to the table determmedly, His face wore the “do ov die’’ expression. Careful playing placed the balls together, and, making the best possible use of the opportunity, the marker counted 96 as the contribution to his score, Then they “ivoze,” and, being spo ted, Thomas missed ip his over anxiety und resumed his seat. Score, 106 to 105, in favor of Gallagher. Interest in- creased in the result, and the players looked at each other and laughed. In fifty minutes the marker announted, “Even » game—107 all.” At the end of the cighteenth inning the score was 3 to 212 in favor of St. Louis, Garnier acknowledged ie was ; bat trom that time on he fought ter- ribly, though he was 280 down at the end of the twenticth inning.

Garnier was only 96points the worst of it when he commenced his twenty-ninth inning. “If he ever gets them on the ruil he'll run it ont,” said his umpire. He sat down for 30, and from the lips of a lady on the platform e louder than she cared to have it, “Oh, pshaw!’’ Garuier looked around and smiled, ‘Then Gallagher ,ot auother chance.

He could only score 13, which made the totais—Gallagher, 587; Gar- nier, 607, ‘The Frenchman was becomin, confident, and 70 more made in the res inning left him only ten points behind, The spectators held their breath. Everybody stood in their seats and craned their necks and in clined their bodies to get good views of the table. Gallagher missed; Garmer ran 6; Gailagher sat down for 1; Garnier added 2 more to his score, and there were ouly three points between them—5s9 to 586. The Frenchman, ail excitement, made another essay, and 1 point was the result.

SLOBSON BEATS SRXTON, William Sexton, of New York, and George F, Slow son, of Chicago, Ul., met in the evening. The house was crowded, and ministerial faces could be picked out by the dozen. There were scores of ladies in the body of the hall, and the platform was filled with the rng fod aici ie escorts. Mr. Geary, the reteree, briefly explained Sexton's position regard: the tournament and then introduced the old aut me nists. Both the men appeared in good health and in their attires looked as if they had just jumped from bandboxes. Sexiou never seems capable of great fatizue, but said he felt “very well.” The ljead fell to Slosson and he failed to count. Sexton also missed. Slosson, in his second essxy, sent the bails into a corner and tney yielded 34 before ‘he was compelled to sit down. Sexton failed to count uutil the third inuing, when he made 4. This broke the ice and pleased the house. Slosson in the sixth coaxed the balls to the side rail, aud before he got through with petting them Le compiled 71. Every shot was applauded, the house being in excellent humor and brimful of good spirits. Sexton's sixth essay added only 7 to still score, figures ‘standing 128 to 26 in favor of By this time the manners of the men were compared. Slosson is quick, almost jerky in his movements, while Sexton is del and seems # bundle of method and calculation. dlosson's seventh essay was @ unit only, and Sexton missed, It was chance thrown away that led to an anpleas ant result so far as the New Yorker was powriene for when Slossou ot up to make his next shot it proved the begiuni of the longest run on record. The spectators up to this juncture were afraid, apparently, the game would at least open stupidly, Slosson’s play dispelled thattear, He soon placed the bulls along the rail, and then round and round the table he slowly nursed and clicked them. It was 25, 5u, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, Would he ever make 4 miss? The applause was deafening. rail to rail they went slowly but surely, the dclicate clicking, like the pulsation of un engine, being heard to the remotest corners of the hail. ‘The marker “350,” and to ® man the audience cheered.

The tally was 573 to 82 in favor of Siosson.

Sioason needed only 17 to make game, and it seemed “dollars to cents” that he would fix it up in the eleventh inuing. He retired for 11, leaving him 6 to go.
