COCK FIGHTING Main Between New York and Queens County. The Empire City Vietorious Through Sickness of the Long Island Birds, A VERY LARGE ATTENDANCE. A main of chickens on which great interest cen- tred took place on Thursday night in a hostelry not a great distance from one of the largest manufactories of its nature in the country. Asa magnet of attrac- tion for the sporting world it proved a powerful one, and all night long the teams of the wealthy support- ers of this exciting sport were champing and pawing in the neighborhood of the scene of conflict while their eager proprietors were engaged in swelling the odds and exchanging their funds on the chances of the brilliant contests within, The fighting, which commenced at eleven P. M., extended far into the morning, so that the numerous screaming whistles and clanging bells of the surrounding workshops warned the participants in the main that it were better not to attract too much attention by remaining, and so, the main having been decided, the last battle was not fought, the score standing, as the company exchanged their parting areetings, eight battles to the credit of New York and four to the credit of Queens. The chickens on both sides, though of mixed and various strains gathered from different yards, were superior fowl, and but for the sickness in the Queens county stogk that not only affected this, but the re- cent main between Kings and Queeng counties, a dif- forent story might be recorded to-day. The knowl- edge of the condition of the Queens county céops placed the odds on the main $50 to $30 in favor of Now York at the start, and as the fighting progressed it gradually rose to $50 to $20, and remained at that “gure to the close, with numerous takers as the bird trom the city seemed more or less ready to polish off its opponent quickly. Betting on the separate battles was very lively from firat to last, and at times the odds changed rapidly and were ag quickly taken “as thoy were offered. Queens was ina measure enabled to make up their losses on the main, though some few individuals felt very blue in the morning, as, with expressive gestures, they informed their friends that they had been cleaned out. They have been prom- ised their revenge, however, and when the same par- ties meet with their stock in the pit again ere the season closes a mdst exciting night’s sport is antici- pated. ‘THR FIGHTING. The terms of battle were that each side show up twenty-one birds, from 5 Ibs. 4 oz. to 3 lbs. 14 02., and fight all that matched in, under Long Island rules, for $25 each side @ battle and $200 on the odd fight. When the weighing in commenced the effect of the sickness of the Queens county birds showed in avery marked manner, as only thirteen matches fw ie made, some with extreme difference of weight. the preliminaries arranged, the judge took his seat, and the handlers, old veterans in the business, pitted their first birds, the heavy weights. YIRST BATTLE. Queen's tow] was a bluo-red, with gray hackle, and New York’s a black-red, both at 5 lbs. 40z. As they reached the carpet the Leary ed quite lively at $10 to $8 in tavor of New York. the first buckle, how- ever, New York lost an eye and threw its heels so lively that in spite of the heavy body pricks it re- ceived the odds leaped to $5 to $4 on the Queens county bird. The fight was kept up at close quarters for several minutes, first one raking the other sharply and then geetig tb even more rare in return, until both birds w off totally blind. Then as they got hp cope and made their breaks after teeling tor each other the condition of the blue-red told against it, for it had no mouth, and though it frequently staggered the black, met'the force of its heels; @ chance shot caught it in the back of its head, touched ® vital spot, and with o wild leap it rose in the air and fell dead at the feet of its handler. Time, 21m, 18s. The first battle thus going to New York. r SECOND BATTLE. The parties were #o long getting ready for this battle that the judge gave them warning that if over twenty minutes passed aguin and both sides were not in the pit he should give the battle against the defauiter without a fight. The light weights were next in order of contest, with chickens at 3 Ibs. 14 oz., Queens showing @ pyle that seemed good for victory against the neat small-looking brass back that New York piite against it, andthe pyle took the odds in betting. he pyle, however, when let go, took it easy, while the braes back was so extremely ready that, when the pyle woke up for action in the second buckle from a sharp sting in the crop, it was too late. The brass wus so extremely active that it would strike without attempting to get a beak hold, and, after opening the pyle’s throat, cut in all around it till the latter lay down, and then following the advantage up, got in @ brain blow that struck the pyle de: on the scratch. ‘Time, 5m. 47s. New York thus scoring 2 on the main to 0 for Queens. THIRD BATTLE. New York, feeling jubilant, put long odds on this fight, for which she pitted an exceedingly handsome Dluck-red at 4 lbs, 8 oz., Queens county's bira, at the sume weight, being s neat though slow look- en brown-red. ‘They were both ready chickens, and, as the Queens county bird was in a state of New York waa very considerable amount being put up on the black-red’s chauce of winning, In less than two minutes, however, they sought on opportunity to hedge, which they could not get, for in breaking together Queens threw the black red on its wing and broke it. The lame bird attempted to continue the fight, but, through the unevenness of its action, laid itself open to a stroke that coupled it so completely that, after afew minutes, the judge orcered it removed from the pit. ‘Time, 6m. 22s, The score then standing, Kings 2, Queens 1, the latter crowing with joy as they raked in their win- Bs. FOURTH BATTLE. New York pitted a black-red and Queens a brown- red, both at 4 Ibs, 2 oz. ‘they were clumsy, tumbling birds, straddling at the opening, though making # fair exchange when they came to close quarters. Then the black-red showed itself the readiest bird, and paid such delicate and close at- toution to Queens that it lay down in consequence of the numerous body pricks it had received. ‘he odds were then $10 to $1 against it. Two or three at- tempts to rise and reply to the stingers of the Got ite proving fruitiess, the brownie was pounded. Time, 12m. 20s. ‘This lett the main stand- dng—New York 3, Queens county 1. FIFTH BATTLE. Now York placed at the scratch a “humpy” black- red, to which Queons stationed as a vis-a-vis another brown-ted, both just turning the scale at 3 lbs. 15 02. ‘This was the first bird Queens bad set down with mouth enough to take » good hold, and the odds were consequently in its favor with money staked freely. ‘The battle commenced in slashing style, the humpy proving the readier bird and the strouger. The brown, perceiving this, adopted wheeling tactics and by sharp dodging tired 'the biack out and theu.com- menced to cut, und blackie, unable to stand the pun- dshient, turned tail and ran away, Time, idm. 56s, Queens county feit ecstatic as she counted wp her gains th yreenbacks and on the sore, which now stood:— New York 3, Queens 2. SIXTH BATTLE. Two black-reds at 4 Ibs. 11 0% were next laid down, sud commenced & rapid, jumping Sunt, with the odds in favor ot Queens. New York's bird, how- ever, was the betier adept at the business, and b; chance shot struck the Queens county representat through the brain and laid it fluttering in death Lhe of lm, 26s. New York 4, Queens 2, on the main. hs SEVENTH BATTLE. By long odds the best and must hotly contested battle ot the main, and more mouey changed hands On the result of this wel: contested fight then even on the main, New York carpeted « brown-red with black hackle, and Queens 4 black-red with yray hackle, Atter a careful survey of each other the; came Loyethier lowly, and, obtaining # mutual hold, and rising together, cut and slashed each other evenly, ahing siapalily without letting go their hold for almost a minute, when Queens buried its heel in New ear, Seratched aysin, they fought evenly and steadily until another drive in the ear of New York’ forced him to slack up in bis = just enough to notice only, but when let g° agnin he did not seem 60 anxious for close quar- ors, and the odds jumped to $10 to $2 in fayor of Queens. A third lodgement of the heel in New York's eur sent the betting up $40 to $4, at which there ‘were many takers. Queens kept steudily at work-until the neck, breasi and auoulders of New York were cut to pieces, and yet the bird made reply, and in dangerous fashion, too. Brought to the carpet at last and “bleeding at every pore,” bets were freely offered, and taken as to its hunting again, and, ws if in response to the stggestion, the terribly battered, though plucky, brown-red rallied again, and fougnt till @ steel in the shoulder penetrated through to the heart and stretched him lifeless, Time, 19m. 488. ‘The acore thon stood—New York, 4; Queens, 3. KIGHTH BATTLE, New York felt blue as Placed her next'bird to the tore, for the even weights had all been fought aud this fight was 3 ounces against her, Her repre- sentative was a black legued black-red at 4 lbs, 4 07. to a white hackle black-red from Queens at 4 lbs. Gon, The odds, when y Wore put down, was $4 to $2 in favor of Queens, Lut boore the first Duckie was uded, which opened With @ neat jumping skirmish, the legs of Queens were cut from under him aud the fight was decited by a brain blow that paralyzed it ‘Bs st tell forward, ‘The craw yave it for a short time NEW YORK HERA the appearance ot running away, but returning to the fray it struck a few tases and then accepted ar ishment, but dying it was counted out in lm. 48, This restored the betting courage of the New Yorkers, as the main now stood—New York, 5; | Queens, 3, and they offered freely $20 to $10 on the NINTH BATTLE. New York offered a high stationed black-red at 4 Ibs. 8.0%. to a lemon pyle from Queens at 4 lbs. 1 0z., and the pyle being 4 ready bird got the odds at the start, because New York felt shaky on their long- legged fellow. ‘The pyle proved a quick. and ready fighter, and every time it rose got in on the body of the black, till the latter, by a fortunate dash, laid the throat of the pyle open. The odds changed like lightning, but t was little time for betting, asthe yle slacked up, and the red warming, took advan- e of the situation and laid the pyle stiff, without flutter or a stir, Time, 2m. 24s. New York then scored 6 for the main to 3 for Queens, and offered $50 to $10 that they would win it. ‘TENTH BATTLE. New York in showing up the next bird claimed that there was now too much difference in the weights, as in the odd weight fights they fought two ounces under, while Queeus in their battles fought but one ounce under, and that was the reason they | asked odds in battles that they otherwise would not. Both sides showed black-reds, marked almost alike, the exception being a little straw in the hackle of Queens. The weights were 4 lbs. 4 oz, for New York 6 oz. for Queens, They were high sta- comme! actively, the first buckle end- ing with the closing of one eye in New York and @ partial couple on the side of Queens, New York, woke up by the sting on the eye, handled Queens like ‘a football, cutting its throat and hustling it around until it was pounded. - ‘Time, 10m. 35s. This scored 7 aud the main for New York, Queens feeling blue, us she still stood 3, and handed over the money they’ hoped to double or even treble. ELEVENTH BATTLE, New York delivered a birch gray at 4 Ibs. 7 oz. toa brown-red from Queens at 4 lbs, z. The Queens county bird was so sick as to be wheezy within two minutes, and the birch seemed weak—so that the bat- tle, which opened quietly, dragged—the brown was blinded and then the birch wakencd up alittle; but, after getting in a good body blow at the crop of the brown, stopped at the loss of an eye. The fight then dragged to a “breast,” when on u break New York's other eye was closed; but the loss of bivod trom the breast of Queens led to its being counted out at the seratch in adying condition. ‘Time, 28m. 358.—the longest and poorest fight of the man. TWELFTH BATTLE. ‘Two black-reds were again delivered, a black hackle at 4 lbs. 3 02. irom New York, the same engaged in the ninth battle, and a white hackle from Queens at 4ibs.20z. An accident happening in the cutting out room compelled this substitution on the part of New York, much as they regretted it, and the chances forbid any betting on the fight. The birds came together with a swish and rose and tell together well, but the buckle closed with the rolling over and over of the black hackle in the agonics of death. Time, 2m. 15s. It was now seven o'clock in the morning, and numerous people were passing up and down the thoroughfare, wondering what so many carriages were doing there at that hour, so it was deemed ad- visable to omit the last battle and separate until the next event in cocking should unite them around the pit again.

The Breeders’ Stakes for 1880 will attract attention. It is for colts and fillies now one year old, and as the forfeit is but $10, which goes to the racing fund, the entry list should be formidable, ‘The engegement is to follow the ownership of the colt, and in case it starts $40 must be paid, in ad- dition to the $10 put up at the time of naming. The added money is $750 and the distance five furlongs. The Breeders’ Stakes will close April 1. Monmouth Park is one of the best appointed tracks in the coun- try, and now that it is owned and controlled by a powerful organization its checkered history is at an end. The future for it is bright.

Crawford's sorrél mare Faithful and’ William Wilkinson's bay gelding Happy Tom. It was an exciting contest, First Heat.—At the word Happy Tom had the out- side, but captured the heat by two lengths. ‘ Heat.—The horses left the score together and hada good brush around the course. Happy ‘Tom succeeded in obtaining the lead until entering the homestretch, where for a moment the brush was even and exciting, but Faithful gradually drew ahead of the bay gelding, and won by half a length. Third Heat.—Another excellent etart was had, with Happy Tom slightly in the lead, who retained his advantage to the end, winn: beat and race by three lengths. The following SUMMARY.

HORSE NOTES. Late Thursday afternoon a gentleman, seated ins sleigh to which a bay stallion was attached, put in an appearance on St. Nicholas avenue, near 125th strect. Almost all the road men had started for home—as dusk was near—so that the road was clear of the great throng which had crowded the ave- nue during the greater part of the afternoon. The sleighing, too, from the increasing coldness had im- proved during the last half hour and was at the mo- ment excellent. The pleasant faced gentleman in the sleigh seomed to be gathering himself and horse to- gother for an effort. The club house was just alead, and now with accelerated speed he drew toward it. “Go on good horse!” and the game one responded with lightning speed. Ashe came abroast the little knot of men on the stoop of the club house and then flashed away in the gathering darkness all ob- servers held their breath. In answer to the question of a gentleman, evidently # tyro in road matters, as to “who was the man?” and “which was the horse?" the reply was “Robert Bonner and Startle.” Mr. Henry C. Bonnett has been driving his stylish chestnut mare Gracie during the sleighing carnival. Mr. N. H. Leadbetter appears upon the road every afternoon with his gray colt, by Gideon, and chest- nut mate, They make a good team, Ben Mace drives his little white faced mare up the avenue every alternoon. She can trot a very fast gait when called on, David Laughlin drives a good team—a roan and black, Fow can beat them from “end to end” of the rom. , Une of the exceptionally fast ones on the road to a sleigh is the chestnut gelding John H. Sterin. D. B. Gof! drove him up and down tle road on Wednesday afternoon a number of times, and he pleased every- one who had the chance of being a looker on by his great speed and tine action.

Smith was up the road Thursday at- ternoon behind his youngster, by General Knox, 200 out of the, | l LD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1879--TRIPLE SHEET. dam the well known mare Tidy, one of Mr. Smit former road team. A.S. Bailey is driving to s sleigh the fast and fine bay mare Sheelah, This is @ very improving trotter, and was used formerly as a saddle horse. Mr. A. R. Auten is driving his team of colts Bright and Julian. At times he drives them single. In either way they are fine steppers, and of the im- proving kind. Frank Regan is driving the fast bay gelding Little | Allen on the road, He is agrand horse and # hard | one to beat, | Mr. James Flanagan was on the road on Thursday afternoon behind the four-year-old chestnut mare | Florence K. This young mare is an exceptionally fine one, and has a turn of speed at present which carries her a mile in 2: John H, Martin was jogging the black mare Girlie, by George Wilkes, to a sleigh. Mr. Willigm Carr was driving his black three-year- old filly by Blackwood, dam a gray trotting mare belonging to Mr. Carr, with a bay mare of maturer age to break the youngster. Quite a lively trot occurred on Sixth avenue the other day between Charles Rohe’s gray and black team and Henry Schlos’ roan gelding Livery Boy. It was a close and exciting race. The team won by a short head. a The Turf, Field and Farm:—As Carl 8. Burr | has had the opportunity of riding behind so | many good horses his opinion as to the fastest trotter he ever pulled a rein over will prove of interest. In a letter of recent date he says that he drove Bruno a quarter, according to one | watch, in 30 seconds, and according to another | watch in 20% seconds. He also says that in driving Joe Elliott, with a horse running in the lot along- side of the road, he ‘never rode so fast for a short distance.” He adds, “I say so still, It was | a wonderful flight of specd.” As he drove | Bruno, according to the slowest watch, a quarter at | the rate of a mile in two minutes, and as he rode even faster than this behind Joe Elliott, it is plain on the face that the son of Edward Everett has never, | in the estimation of one of the best trainers that | America has produced, had an equal for speed. Both Bruno and Joe Elliott are members of Mr. | Bonner’s wonderful stable. Joe Elliott has been “off for two or three years; but he is coming all right now. Mr. Backman and Major Morton, on | their visit to Mr. Bonner’s farm last fall, timed him a mile to wagon on the three-quarter track in 2:26, THE PRIZE FIGHT. THE CLARK-KING MILL OFF FOR THE PRESENT— THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DETERMINED TO » PREVENT THE MEETING---THE TWO PRIN- CIPALS AND ARTHUR CHAMBERS HELD TO AN- SWER AT COURT PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24, 1879. After several postponements the hearing in tho case of Clark, King and Chambers, arrested on a charge of conspiring for a prize fight, took place this morning at the Central Police station, before Magistrate Pole. The fight was to have taken place on the 21st, in Canada, but the Mayor of Philadelphia determined to prevent the meeting if at all possible, and, accordingly, ordered the arrest of the two men most interested and of Arthur Chambers, the backer and trainer of King. The charge on which the arrests wero made is that of conspiracy to engage in a prize fight, It is questionable whether the law of Pennsylvania can reach men who had no intention of violating the statutes in this country, but Mayor Stokley in his zeal to prevent the exhibition of “the manly art” gave himself the benefit of the doubt and took the acoused into custody, releasing them on bail for a hearing fixed for the morni of the 22d, so as to prevent the eucounter taking place on the 2ist. The proceedings were twice postponed, the police mean- time industriously hunting up testimony; but this morning the matter was settled by the magistrate holding the men to appear for trial at Court, releas- ing. them on $1,000 bail each. The accused were defended by legal advisers, and the counsel to the Police Department conducted the case for the prosecution. Several witnesses were ex- amined to prove the fact that meetings had been held to arrange tor a prize fight. Among the number were the correspondent of the Clipper, the publisher of a small locai paper, several police officers and a num- ber of sporting characters. The testimony was not of a very decided or damaging ter, none of the witnesses knowing very much about the contemplated affair, but the magistrate thought the evidence sufficient to hold the men for trial. Counsel for the prisoners con- tended that they had not been guilty of an indictable offeuce, and that even if they had conspired to fight in Canada there was no law to punish them. Mr, Sharpley, counsel for the Mayor and the Police De- partment, held to the contrary. but was not very devided about it, saying that the matter should be tested in court, and that if there is no law to mect the case the Legislature should at once supply the deficiency of the statute. ‘The accused were then held on bail for trial. This action of the authorities, it is thought, will Eom pa ens indetinitely, if it does not prevent it en- tirely. RACING -ON SKATES. There will be races on the ice at the rink in Gil- more’s Garden this evening. The first race will be one-half mile, for boys, and the second one mile, for all sketers. Among the entries for the latter there are some of the fastest skaters in the country, in- cluding Messrs, Gurney, J. 8. Barney, G. D. Phillips and J. W. Smith. ‘The prizes for both will be gold medals, A track ten feet wide will be roped off around the outer surface of the ice. The ice is now in splendid condition, . AMATEUR | ATHLETICS. An amateur pedestrian and athletic association has been organized in Newark, N. J., and it is proposed to hold a grand five days’ tournament at the Rink, beginning February 17 and ending on Washington's | Birthday. There will be # large number of valuable prizes. GUMBLETON'S BOOKS. THE APPLICATION FOR A STAY ON JUDGE BAR- RET?'S MANDAMUS—THE PAPERS SUBMITTED TO JUDGE DONOHUE, WHO WILL GIVE His DECISION ON MONDAY. There was another long argument yesterday in the seemingly interminable controversy Detween the Bar Association Committee and County Clerk Gumbleton on the subject of the examination of the official records in the latter's office. This time the argument was before Judge Donohue on the order to show cause why the temporary stay granted on the pre- vious day forbidding the carrying out of Judge Bar- rett’s mandatory writ directing Mr. Gumbleton to allow his books to be examined by J. Adriance Bush should not be made permanent. On behalf of the County Clerk Mr. William A, Beach characterized the action of the Bar Association as a rummaging expedition, and contended that his client had no objection to his books being examined by wny citizen, but that he did object most decidedly to the manner and animus of the present attempt. He read various affidavits on the case, but they simply embodied a recital of the facts as already published. Mr. Artemus H. Holmes, on behalf of Mr. Bush, asked an adjournment until next Monday to enable him to put in answering affidavits, Mr. Beach said he no objection to this, pro- vided he was given time to put in affidavits in re- joinder. How long @ time do you want,” Judge Donohue asked Mr. Boach. sen ea the first Monday of Fepruary,” answored ir. Beach, “Weil, settle it among yourselves,” said Judge Donohue. The carrying out of this judicial advice proved to be an utter iinpossibility, and finally Mr. Holmes withdrew his motion for an adjournment, and it was at length agreed to submit the case to the Court on the papers without argument. Judge Donohue took the papers and announced that he would give a decision on Monday next. CHARLIE’S ESCAPADE. Charlie Harper was born in this city thirteen years ago. He lost his parents several yoars since and then his surviving relatives placed him in the Leake & Watts Orphan Asylum, corner of Ninth avenue and 1iath street. Last August this latter institution bound him out to David Terry, a farmer at South- ampton, 4 Island. Charlié "remained with Mr. Gerry four months and then he Jett the farm aud niunaged to get back to New York by secreting him- seli on @ freight train, After is arrival he returned to the & Watts Asyiuin and took refuge in nm on the am: premises, There he lay concealed for two weeks, aud was supplied with food by the other inmates of the institution. This could not last long, however, and yesterday afternoon Charlie was handed over to Officer Connolly, who took him to the Harlem Police Court.

HE DEFEATS DALY IN THE NINTH GAME OF THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT—SLOSSON AN EAS¥ WINNER OVER HEISER. John Randolph Heiser, of Boston, Mass., and George F. Slosson, of Chicago, Ill., played the eighth game of the billiard tournament yesterday afternoon at Cooper Institute. Three hundred persons were present, Heiser won the lead, His shot was ‘a blank, and ill-luck followed him for several innings. The same fate was in store for the champion “nurser,” as at the end of the sixth essay for each the buttons stood 16 to 7 in favor of Slosson. “I can’t get started,” was Heiser’s excuse, and “I don’t feel -well” was Slesson’s expla nation for the indifferent * character of the opening. A better state of affairs prevailed when Slosson began his seventh essay. He did it confidently, and, after two or three casy shots, the balls glided together in the right hand upper corner. Their position was satisfactory in the ex- treme. Carefully and delicately he marched them along the rail, and then back again, wheu, once more taking them into the left hand corner, he there inter- yiewed them very pleasantly. The marker all this, time was calling the count, and when the balls were set sailing down the left hand rail victory seemed within the grasp of the player. The lower rail was next assailed, and the old click of the ivories was still heard, until 200 was announced, when the audience cheered. ‘He ‘will probably run it out now,” was the comment of Heiser’s um- pire, which comforting assurance made that player look, as if he were in pain or about to be the victim of a serious surgical operation. The balls “froze”? when Slosson had accumulated 203, and by direction of the referee they were spotted. Again the latter counted, and with a few fair shots he compiled 15 more. Then he succumbed—the marker cal- ling 215. Heiser smiled and moved toward the table pulling his enormous shirt collar, which, by the way, almost reached his ears. A paltry 3 avded John Randolph, and he. it down demoralized, in just thirty-seven minutes Slosson ed made his count 300, while his adversary was wandering around 11. ‘Che end of the sixteenth innings made the record 365-21, in favor of Siosson, @ difference, perhaps, which might frighten older ‘players than eiser. Bud luck stuck to the later, and when chances were offered it seemed impossible for him to take advantage of them. The Chicago candidate had rolled up 51 in his sixteenth essay, and 54 was the result of his next trial. Heiser fought off his fright somewhat in his eighteenth attempt, and at last he Was instrumental in couxing the balls to the left long ruil, where he started them on a carrom journey. All went well until 34 was reached, when the unruly ivories' ‘‘froze,” and the Bostonian was com- pelled to spot them. He missed the next shot, and sat down looking disconsolate. Slosson’s subsequent attempts were even worse than the frightened Bos- tonian’s mcvements. Just four points were the re- sult of six innings, and, ashamed of himself, George resumed his seat, saying, ‘It’s terrible! It Heiser would do better I might be more careful.” In grand style, however, 130 was rolled up by Slosson in his y-tourth trial. This contribution was wholly by “nursing” and rail practice, which seem to be his best holds. The totals at this juncture stood 553-05. against Heiser. Rallying # little,-the Bostonian compiled 47 in his twenty-tifth essay, but from that time on there was no hope for him. Slosson dropped in 34, and then giving his adversary another chance, the latter responded with 3, when, with 13 more, “game” was called for George—bis score reaching the required 600, Heiser only netted 115, leaving him 485 points behind. “Not up toa fair amateur game,” said an old player, referring to the loser’s aggregate. Time of game—one hour, thirty-one minutes. The full score is as follows :— . Slosson—6, 0, 4, 2, 4, 0, 215, 2, 59, U, 8, 1, 0, 0, 13, 61, 54, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 130, 34, 13-600.

The ninth game, which was played in the evening, brought together the clever cueists William Sexton and Maurice Daly. A brilliant audience greeted them. The platform was filled with elegantly dressed ladies and their attentive escorts. Everything indi- cated an earnest struggle. The players concluded to umpire their own game. Sexton won the lead, selected the white ball and opened the contest, ‘Meagre results marked a few innings, Daly being the first to count double figures, which were credited to himduring his fourth essay. ‘Though but 16, the spec- tators applauded kindly. When Sexton commenced his fifth trial with the balls it was evident he meant mischief. Three or four brilliant shots placed them in pleasant position along the left side rail. Then the journey began. When halfway down the marker shouted, “50!” and still, steady as the tick of a clock, on went the delicate clicking until the balls reached the corner of the table. Turning them exquisitely, he continued the quiet dance along the lower rail, and when iyscdk: 4 "1001" was the announcement. The house c! Still the ivories When _‘‘112 been the referee, said, “Look maght they were’ frozen. that official. On “All right, Maurice, went the clever work. Click, click, up the right rail they were progressed. “How now?’ again asked Daly when the balls were dangerously near each other. “All right, sir,” was the response. How cleverly they moved! How like the touch of mechan- ism the spheres struck each other! And all this while the player preserved the same quiet expression of countenance that marked his demeanor when Slosson was piling up that big run against him on Wednesday night, Again the ivories moved gracefully down the top rail until 214 was Teached. Here they were frozen. “Touch, Mike?” asked Daly of the referee. Sexton shaded them with his hands once or twice and nodded his head affirmatively. The balls were spotted. “Oh!” came from every part of the house, ‘Then the player missed, and he sat down amid ap- plause, “A clean piece of nursing,” said the referee, leasantly, All this while the noted professional illiardists of the town were about the platform. ‘They seemed to be unable to get their eyes satisfac torily near the table. Slosson stood at the end of the Teporters’ desks, Rudolphe took one of the chairs set for the umpires, Schaefer, Gallagher, Heiser, Garnier and all others, to fame known aud unknown, were on hand. Daly knocked his cue ball off the table and took his seat. Sexton once more commenced operations. ‘The balls were obedient. He counted, seemingly, as he liked. Grad- ually they were slowly sent the old rail journey until ++105"" was reached, when, “freezing,” they were spot- ted. The next shot proved successiul, and he con- tinued the merry work to 123, when he re’ ired. Meanwhile Daly was unlucky and’ failed to do as Weil as his triends would have liked. At the end of his ninth inning Sexton had 300 the best of it, the figures being 363—63. “You are khocking them a littic to-night, Billy,” said a friend to Sexton. “Not much,” was the answer. “I guoss I'll call you the Villiard wizard,” continued the friend, “Don’t you,” responded William, “billiard butcher would be be ter.”” In his tenth inning Sexton worked the dalls across the table to the lower right corner and then ‘marching them up the rail progressed 77 toward the requisite number to make game. He missed a massé and left the ivories so placed that his adversary added 41 to his buttons before being compelled to retire. The next efforts were unimportant. Sexton could no no better than 11 tor his twelfth iuning. Then Maurice went to the front in style. very cleverly he grouped the balls, very cleverly he retained control of them. In a superb way he sent them along the left long rail, counting 20, 40, 50, 7) and theu turning the corner he prettily repe: the delicate carroms until ‘100 was called. house was delighted. A New York audience alw recognizes pluck, and Daly was tussling hord with his antagonist, Out of the lower right corner the spheres rolled finely, and then the way was clear for a merry trip up the table. ‘The player rested not, and calmly accumulated the fig- ures until miss, and Maurice was compelied to resume his seat. His effort was appreciated and it made lis score look comparatively good, Ellis, the marker, made the announceruent—Sexton, 454; Daly, usz. “What rity,” said @ bright eyed blonde on the platfo vith two more innings of unimportance for each Sexton approached the table for his fifteenth essay. It proved the last of the evening. The balls were submissive, and it required but little time for him to by Meo as he liked, in an extremely brilliant fashion, he renewed his deli- cate and artistic ‘ie Steadily the count went on—25, 50, 75,100! The spectators were be- side themselves, They knew that sixteen more would carry the player out, and the majority were able to judge that it was almost a certainty that the sixteen would be made. They were right. The marker in another minute called “116—game!" ehen the cheering ws renewed. The players shook han the audience dis; and the lights were put out, ‘The first week of the tournament was over. The full score of the game is as follows :— Sexton—I, 1, 3,0, 214, 123, 1, 5, 15, 77, 3, 11, 13, 17, 116—600, Daly—1, 5, 7, 16, 0, 2, 27, 5, 5, 41, 0, 173, 1, 1-284. Winner's average, 40; lowers average, 20 2-7. ‘Time of ¢, one hour and thirty-two minutes, There will be no playing to-day On Monday after- noon Rudoiphe and Heiser will meet, and on Monday evening Garnier and Slosson measure cues. It is said that Slosson made two foul shots during his run of 441 points on Wednesday evening. Mr. Geary, the referee, says he noticed them, the first being made shortly after 100 points had been counted, and the second about 212 points, Sexton's umpire failing to see the “fouls” the reteree was com- peiled to let them pass, Up to this time Schaefer has won two games and loxt none, Garnier has twice defeated, Gallagher has wou one game and lost two, Rudoipue has won & game and lost one, Duly's record is two games won and one lost, Heiser has been twice defeated, Slosson has been victorious’ in two games aud lost none, Sexton has lost one game and won one.

W. MACKEY'S WILL. A BACHELOR'S WILL WHICH HIS “WIDOW” WILL CONTEST. PuraveLpata, Jan. 24, 1879. The will of the late Robert W. Mackwy, the great republican politician and leader of Pennsylvania, has | just been admitted to probate in this city and letters | testamentary granted to the executor and executrix named in the document. Mr, Mackey’s property is variously estimated at from $150,000 to $200,000, His will becomes of special public interest be- | cause of recent despatches from Pittsburg, | for many years Mr. Mackey’s home, announcing that a woman there claims to be Mr. Mackey’s widow and | to have had two children by him, and that, of course, | she will contest the will. Mr. Mackey was always | believed here to be a bachelor, of correct habits, and | the Pittsburg story is not believed here. His will is as | follows :— The last will and testament of Robert W. Macko; ne but now a resident of P’ sylvania. Kuo’ y of Allehan i i} men that 1, but now hereby iy last will a C I devise and bequeath to ny niece, Henrietta B, MeCu eon, the proceeds of say lite policy in the Mutual Life 1 Fane: Company of New York, after deducting the ex: penses of my burial vided the said funeral expenses shall not exceed the sun of | — After the payment of all my just debts I devise the resi- | | due of all my property, real, personal and mixed, divided | into four equal parts, and the said equal parts I devise | t, wife of James MeG ueath as follows :— x Mary se sister Eliza il. widow of David zand the partto my sister Henrietta, wife « ott. and the fourth part to the children of my brother, William i.

Dickey, acting under authority of the | Register of Wills, took depositions in that city to prove that the signatures of the subscribing wit- nesses as well as the testator were genuine, all of which papers have been duly filed in the office of the Register of Wills. CONTESTING HER SISTER'S WILL. ‘The trial of a contested will case, involving a pecu- liar state of facts, was commenced yesterday before Surrogate Calvin. It seems that Mary Caroline Marx died on the 9th of July last, leaving a will dated May 93 preceding. Under this will a yearly income of $1,000 was left to her sister, Caroline Henrietta Marx, during her lifetime. Ali her clothing and all her right and interest in the house No. 122 East Forty- Airst street, as well as her share in the family silver, was likewise left to her sister under the same conditions. By the terms of the will upon the death of Caroline Henrietta Marx the property thus devised was to descend to the Rev. Aloysius J. D. Bradley, a Catholic priest living in Liverpool, England. The testatrix also left the Rey. Dr. McGlynn, pastor of St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church, in this city, the sum of $1,000. To the Rev. | Mr. Bradley she also left all her personal property, | which was stored away in a storehouse in Liverpool. The will then directs her executor, the Rev. Dr. | McGlynn, to pay to the Rev. Mr. Bradley all the in- come derived from her estate after the payment of the necessary expenses. Upon his death all the resi- due of the estate was to go to the Roman Catholic Little Sisters of the Poor. The will is contested by Caroline Henrietta Marx, the sister of the deceased, on the ground of undue influence and the alleged un- unsoundness of mind of the testatrix. It is also claimed that Bradley is a non-resident alien, and can- not take property under a devise in this State, and that the Roman Cotholic Sisters of the Poor are not a corporate body or legal person capable of taking real estate by will. On the trial yesterday the execution of the will was proved by the subscribing witnesses, Henry H. Ryan and James Aylward. It was further brought out that the will was drawn up at the St. Stephen's Home in Twenty-eighth street, of which Ryan’s sister is the | Sister Superior, and that the will was mude at the | latter’s request. The Surrogate’s business being of such a character that he would be unable to give a further hearing for some time to come it was finally to have Mr, Underhill act as referee, and the testimony will, therefore, be taken before him. Mossrs. Townsend, Wandell and Elbridge T. Gerry will appear for the contestants and Mr. in opposition, F. W. TAGENHORST’S ESTATE. the Kings County Supreme Court, by Mrs. Carrie A. ‘Tagenhorst, to compel Henry Siebert to give an ac- counting of the estate of her husbsnd, Frederick W. Tagenhorst, of which he is executor. When Mr. Tagenhorst, who was an extensive tobacco dealer m road street, this city, died the es- tate was estimated to be worth $100,009, but the wife of deceased ciaims that it is now worth but $21,000, with about $30,000 of bad debts. She | alleges ‘that Siebert has wasted # portion of the | estate in speculation; that he is of no pecuniary re- sponsibility: that he holds insurance policies on her husbend’s life for $8,000, and that she has been whol'y dependent for the support of herself and children upon such sums of money as he saw fit to give. Mr. Siebert’s counsel claims that Mrs. Tagenhorst has overdrawn the amount of in- come she is entitled to under the provisions of the will, Counsel produced a number of letters from | merchants in this city showing that respondent was responsible. > MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, _ MARRIED.
