EDWARD HANLAN. The Oarsman in New York on His Way to England, —-— HIS AQUATIC CAREER. How He Estimates Courtney and Other Antagonists. AN INTERESTING NARRATIVE. Edward Hanlon, the Toronto sculler, arrived in New York yesterday noon, accompanied by his friend, Mr. David Ward, They were met at the Grand Coutral Depot by Judge Elliott, the boat builder, of Greenpoint; Fred, Plaisted, the oarsman, and James Heasley, the latter Hanlun's old and attentive trainer, familiarly known in Canada as Sir dumes. Carriages were procured and the party driven to the Fifth Ave- une Hotel, where Hanlan will remain until Thurs- day, at which time he and Heasley will leave for Liverpool in the steamship City of Montreal. Hanlan looks in perfect health, and in his winter clothes weighs about one hundred and eighty-five pounds, He intimated that it required a good deal of resolution to leave Toronto, and many friends made the journey with him as far as Suspension Bridge, wishing him luck and prosperity during his absence. If Hanlan has any idea of aught else than good luck attending him in his across-the-Atlantic venture, he fails to show it in his countenance or express it in his speech. While he says there must be serious obstacles met and conquered, he has hopes of returning home with his reputation, at least as a sculler, not seriously tarnished, When asked his opinion of the oarsmen which in all probability ho will meet in England he was frank to admit that he has much respect for their ability and pluck, though in many respects he is sadly deficient in accurate in- formation concerning their skill. Should no deten- tion oceur to the City of Montreal in her passage hence to Liverpool Hanlan and Heasley will ar- rive by the 12th of next month. This will enable them to be present at the cham- pionship match between FElliott and Higgins, which is fixed for the 15th. Hanlan’s first duty after landing on the other side will be to visit Colonel Shaw, the American Consul at Birmingham, who has been his chief adviser during his aquatic career. When Hanlan has seen Elliott and Higgins in their boats, and has had an opportunity of form- ing an opinion regarding their respective styles and the speed they possess, he will be able to agree upon some definite programme of operations. His only match at present is with Hawdon, whom some Eng- lish critics regard as the coming sculler of that country, while others are free to say he is only third or fourth rate, and will always remain s0. What ad- ditional matches the Toronto man will make while abroad time and circumstances will determine. Hanlan will take with him on the City of Montreal the Elliott boat in which he rowed Courtney. It has been repaired and is now boxed ready for shipment. Judge Elliott is having constructed at his shop, in Greenpoint, another boat for Hanlan, similar in every respect to the first named. It is 30 feet 9 inches long and 10% inches wide. This craft will be shipped some time next week and will reach England in good season. Mr, Ward does not expect to sail for fing- land before the latter part of March, but his move- ments wil be guided by instructions from Colonel aw. Hanian’s friends will endeavor to make his short so- journ in New York very pleasant. He visited Green- ent yesterday afternoon in Cag with alte flliott, and to-day, to-morrow and Wednesday will be shown around the city. He has been here before, but never had much ot an opportunity to see what a large place New York really is. Ail references to his contest with Courtney were quietly listened to. He says that the Union Springs sculler is one of the finest men he ever became acqnainted with, and that when he returns from England he supposes that he will be compelled to give him another race. “But,” interposed Mr. Ward, “the propositions must come from the other side, and I expect we shall receive such propositions.” “They don’t give you much credit down here for winning the race with Courtney,” said one of the party. “Tean’t help that,” responded Hanlan; “I got the mope; A INTERVIEW WITH HANLAN—HE TELLS HIS OWN STORY—HOW HE WON TWENTY-SIX RACES—ESTIMATES OF THE MEN HE HAS DE- FEATED, « Toronto, Jan, 25, 1879, Edward Hanlan, the famous oarsman, starts to- day for New York, on his way to England, and will sail on Thursday. Knowing that the story of his career asasculler coming from his own lips could not fail to be interesting to the readers of the HrnaLp your correspondent visited him to-day at the house of his mother-in-law, where he usually resides when athome. Iwas unsuccessfnl in seeing him at a for- mer visit because the champion was prancing around his bedroom enduring the agony of a toothache. It * was breakfast time when I called to-day, and, while lis- tening to the clatter of knives and forks, I had an op- portunity to look about the parlor, finding it a perfect museum, for the walls were covered with photo- graphs, addressses and trophies. When Ned came in he extended a warm welcome to your correspondent ani expressed great willingness to talk on learning the object of my visit. FIRST APPEARANCE IN PUBLIC. “Well, where do you want me to begin?” “Suppose, Ned, we begin at the beginning. Is there any truth in the story ot your having rowed across the bay, when only three years and six months old?” “TI believe it’s so, but I hardly remember it. It was atthe time the Prince of Wales was here and my father wanted to make a show, so he ripped up a boat for me and covered her over with flags, and I pulled across the mile anda half. That must have been in 'G0—the year my mother died.” HOW HE CAUGHT THE FEVER. “Ned, is there any trath in your having pulled races home from the fishing grounds?” 0, for the best of reasons, that I never was ont fishing on the lake but twice in my life.” “Well is there any truth in your having rigged up a plank with an empty biscuit box top, in imitation of a shell?” ‘None at all, You newspaper folks aro always put- ting up some cockshie to amuse the public.” ‘Well, how did you catch the rowing fever?" “ft was this way. ‘Che Pittsburgers, Morris and Coulter, were over bere in ‘72, and 1 saw them row. 1 thonght to myself that [ could row as well as them in a shell, so made up my mind I would have a try atit. I rowed over and saw George Wharin, snd ordered a shell, I got her in June, and was in her all day long, I made protty good work, and in August I entered for the championship of the bay and won it easily, I then rowed against Tom Louden, at Hamit- ton, aud won that race too. When I came back 1 rowed for the Governor General's medal and wou it, beating Dongias McKim, Elliott and somo others. Next spring I won the Governor's medal again. I then beat ‘Tom Loudon a mile straight away for $100 side. I won the Governor's medal again a third time, and it was then my property. The next try Thad was 4 two-mile one with McKim, and I won it after having rowed in a three-pair race the same duy—"" “Easy, Ned! How many races have you rowed?” “I have rowed in twenty-six and won twenty-four, aud tho two I lost I had no right to row in.” THE CENTRNNIAL REGATTA. “Tell me something about the Centennial re- atta?” “Well, you seo, T had been beating the fellows around here Jong enough, and 1 wanted to try my hand on some strangers. I thought I could row a jittle, so [talked to my friends about going to the Centennial, ‘They told me I waa flying too high, and when I said I was going all the same they laughed at me, Laugh or no laugh, said 1, I'm going; T beat you fellows easy enough, and I'm going to have @ try with some of the others. So I scraped enough money together to get down to Philadelphia snd was the first professional there, I went into training for three wooks.” “How did you train?” “Well, uot a4 Ido now, I knew nothing about training. However, I got on the water all right in the old Duke of Beaufort, and on the 4th I beat NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, Harry Coulter and Thomas, the Englishman, in 21m. Says." “What sort of fellow was Thomas?” “Well, he was a big, five fellow and rowed nice, only he could not make Mer go. I had an easy time next day with Plaisted and Luther. I stopped three times coming home, to see what was going on on shore. These men are rowing better now than they were then. Next day I had Brayley, and he was the hardest, of the jot to get away with. I don’t think he can row much now.’’ “J see ho is coming out again; how does he row?” “He rows far too much with his arms and knocks all the wind out of himself. Ihave seen him since at Boston and he ain’t a bit improved.” “What is your general opinion of the Centen- nial?” it was pretty much fun all the time for me. I had no trouble in winning and enjoyed the trip.” THE BOSTON DEVRATS. “I suppose, Ned, you know that there was some hard feeling about your being beaten at Boston?” “I know it, and I don’t blame the Boston folks or anybody else for saying that I solid the race or did not row straight. I hed no business to go there at all, I was broken down in spirits; I wasn’t trained, and was just as unfit as a man could be who had done no hard work for months before. It just shows you that no man can row that doesn’t take pains to put himself in condition. I'll never row again when I am out of condition, I am no use when I have not trained—I mean against a man that can row.” THE FIRST Ross nace. “Coming to the big races, Ned, all I want to know is how you won them and how you felt im row- ing them, so that will simplify matters.” “Well, I was tending to business at the island after coming back from Boston, but had a havkering after getting into my boat again. So I saw some of my friends and they arranged a maich for me with Wal- lace Ross, I was not as confident of beating him then as I would be now, but I was not scared of him, though they did send up great stories about his rac- ing down steamers’ and tugs. I tried this business when I got into training, but somehow the steamers stuck to it longer than I did. When we got the word to go Wallace got the start of me. I made a bad start and steered badly, and so he ted moe for 300 yards. I could have rowed furthér in that distance, but I did not see the fun of rowing the life out of myself in 100 yards when I had to row five miles. Ross was killing him- self, so L ee peecnes satisfied to hold him and let him do it. soon rowed him down and went on then easily. Yes, I steered wildly. You see it was the first race I rowed with so much excitement around and I did not take astern range. You know what I mean—two objects in line—one is no good. Roas was in good condition, but he is greatly im- proved now. He used to throw up his arma too much, so he made the end of his stroke dull. He slides better now and has a better motion. Yes, I have improved too; I fancy just about a hundred per cent. Iwas pleased with the result; if we fellows up in the backwoods didn’t know much about boats we knew something about rowing. ‘THE PLAISTED RACI “After a great deal of wrangling and tangling the club got a race arran, with Plaisted, It was for $1,000 a side, and the distance was two miles straight away. I made up my mind that I would have to row this race fast from the beginning to the end. Plaisted got the best of the start, for 1 started before the word, stopped, then started again, while Plaisted caught the water at the word and was off at an awful rate. This was why I lost so much, Iremember your telling me that Courtney was aware of this. It ‘was a trifle, so he must have been watching me very close, Plaisted started like lightning. I never saw anything like it; but he was killing himself dead. I was a little put out about his getting off so quickly, and did not get right down to work at once; but when I saw how he was throwing himself I put in some solid work and saw that I heldhim. I was satisfied and steadied myself. When a quarter ofa mile had been gone I was only a quarter of a length behind. He was laboring hard, and so was I—in a different way. I was going my best, and thought he could not stand it fortwo miles. I knew I couldn't, but I was surel could stick to it longer than he could, You see, though Plaisted has splendid muscular de- velopment, he is too big around the chest for his waist, and so he can’t stand the strain of his way of page I won without much trouble after the quar- ter. The time for the quarter was. awfully fast, but the time for the two miles (fifteen minutes) was slow. I think that Plaisted has not been in such good con- dition since. I don’t want to say if he can be im- proved. All Icare to say is that he is rowing as fast as ever he will do in his present style. THE MORRIS RACE. “This was my first big match race away from home, and it was forthe championship. Yes, I did have @ good opinion of Morris as a rower before 1 went to Pittsburg. I had him measured down pretty fine when he was here. I don’t think there 1s any- thing bad about the Hulton course. The fact of the matter is that if a man has got good head he can row on the Hulton course as well as a Pittsburg man; that is, if he has acouple of weeks to train on it. When i got there Eph showed me about as much as Pat Luther. They were both very kind to m think well of Eph Morris. I don’t think there's a squarer oarsman in America than he is, The first day Iwas on the course Eph sent his trainer down the river with me, and I was shown every spot where I id get an advantage and every place where I would to be careful. ‘sathing a man can’t forget. {n fact, it is almost more than I would feel inclined to do for @ man that was qoing to row against me. Everybody almost likes to have something on hand, 1 worked hard for that race. It was awtully hot, avd the fat melted ont of a fellow. I had to let up twice in my training, though nothing was said about it. I weighed 146 pounds in my rowing clothes. Eph was down fine too; infact, finer than I hi: ever seen him, He was well boated, though not just so well as Iwas, We were both in good order on the day, and when the word was given us we both got splendidly away. The current runs four or five miles an hour, and that made us travel fast, I got abead of him b fore we had gone far, but he stuck to me like a leech. I could not throw him off, and I wanted to badly. On that course I wanted to make sure of being able to get out of any scrape that I might get into and still Keep my lead. 1 was about six lengths ahead when I gotround, It was thirteen minutes of hot work getting to thore flags, I tell you. Eph came after me ot, and I don’t believe he thought he was beaten until the finish. It was the pon ” it race Lever saw a row. ‘What—better than Courtney's race?” le rowed a gamer race than Courtney.” “Well, how did you feel after it?” “I felt all right at the time, but two hours after- ward—oh! I never felt so tired after any race. THE BROCKVILLE AND CAPE VINCENT REGATTAS, “How about your race at Brockville 2” “Well, :kville I won ## I pleased. good. At Cape Vincent I was all out of condition and had the narrowest squeak of losing the race thi lever had. [let up on my training and did not well. We started off at @ fast pace and Plaisted was rowing like nad, so I had to work hard to the buoys. After that it was easier and I was a little careless. When we were about four hundred yards from home I felt real 1 was pulling in slowly, and it dia uot strike me that Plaisted was creeping up dangerously close to me, When he saw my carelessness he made a tre- mendous spurt, but Lawoke in time and put in some hard licks and won. It was the longest tour miles 1 over rowed,” {THE SECOND ROHS RACK. “You rowed Koss a second time. How about that Pa “Tho trip to St. John was a good trip. ‘The Kenne- becasis is the best course L ever rowed on, when it is not rough, and we were unfortunate in getting bad weather, 1 had to do all my training on a stretch ot about a quarter of a mile, and Ross was always ou hand, It was great fun when we drew near to each other, Wallace was always wanting to figure on me, #0 Whenever we came close 1 would put in some sort work and ery out to Wallace, ‘Hoop her up, Wallace, and he would laugh and row off. 1 don't thin of the St. John men learned much about my Detore the race, When L went down the ri was sure to puil out from sone bauk, had to let up.

How did yon get off ?”" “We got off together.’” “What did you think of the water?” “It was very bad; but we were both in dition, and it was the same for both of us. “At what sort of pace did you start ?”” “Ata pace I calculated to keep up all through the race if it was needed." ‘Did you keep it up?” ‘No; I didn’t need to.”” “Did the water get easier to row in as you went out?” “No, it got worse, through the swell of some steamer being thrown against the current.”” “As a matter of fact, did it bother Courtney more than you?” “Lean’t tell; but it seemed to mo that he had no more trouble than I had. | I had trouble enough.” “Who first got the lead? “Idid, About half # mile out I led him by a ,f00a con- les w did you feel about the race then?” ‘I knew enough about Courtney then to know that Tecould beat him.” “How did you arrive at that conclusion?” “T knew that I had lots more speed in me, and from the way he was pulling I did not think he had. He had bebo death to win by taking the lead, and that he didn’t take it I was sure was because he couldn’t.”” “Did you have any advantage on the run up?” “Lhad, I yot to the leo of the islands tirst, though not by so much as some folks would have you be- lieve, for Charley kept edging toward me and was quite close to me when I struck smooth water.” “Did Courtney ever pass you on the way to the buoys?” “No, I did not let him, still he drew up to me every now and then, and ‘then I would draw away ain.” “Did he ever pass you on the way back?" “Yes—(laughing)—he was ahead of me at the three miles, However, I pitched in and when he gota mile further I was leading again. He was leadiny me by about three or four feet only, so 1 was not much troubled about it.”” “Did heever try to collar you?” “Didn’t he though! He made some tremendous spurts. I thought he was going to tear all the water out of the Lachine River, he pulled so savagely. He would look at me with his teeth set and take another rush at it, but it was no use, I had hii sure.” “How about the shifting of the boathouse—the judges’ barge, as they called it?” “Yes, that nearly fooled me. I had just time to clear myself, or I would have run right into the boom. I guess it fooled Charley, too.” “Was he crowding you at the tinish?”’ “Tg he was I don’t think he knew about it. Ho wasn't looking where he was going at the time; he was watching me too much. I don't think he did it to fluster me.” “Did Courtney and yon speak to each other while the race was being rowed?’ “Not one word. He looked at me, but did not speak. His teeth were set as if they would never open again.” “Do you think he did his best to row?” “He did, and isn’t likely ever to pull a better race.” “Did you think the time (36:22) tast?"”’ “When I saw the water I thought that thirty-eight minutes would be good time. Our boats were some- times half under the water. “Have you any knowledge of any sum being paid to Courtney?” “None.” “I do not wish to insult you, so pray excuse the euestion, Did you or did ‘you noi pay to Courtney $2,000 or any sum in any shape or form.” “I d.d not.” Pres you think that his club or any member of it 80?” “I don’t believe that they or any one else pee Courtney a single cent. It I thought they did I would have nothing more to do with them,” THE CHAMPIONSHIP. “Do you think that any attempt will be mado to prit ‘ou ot the championship while you are in England?” “I don’t think so. I am going to England to de- fend the honor of American oarsmen, and I think too well of the oarsmen here to believe that they woul! take advantage of my absence. The name of it might be taken from me tor the time, but the honor would be mine, any way, and the name, too, when I wanted it” THE HAWDON RACK. “Well, I do not think that you will have to win it jin, Nea, until you first lose it inarace. What ut the Hawdon race?” [don't know much about it. I guess you know more thanIdo, I am not afraid of his record, will do what I can to show them that we know thing of seulling over here, I don't know where I'll train; Colonel Shaw will fix that for me. Heasley is in New York now and he goes with me. Some of the club will be over at the race.”” HANLAN'S ESTIMATE OF HIS ANTAGONISTS, “What do you think of the men you have met; who was the best one?’ “{ think Courtney is the best man altogethei though he’s not the speediest for a short distan Eph Morris is the gamest, but I fancy Courtney could get away with him. Wallace Ross would be a better match for Courtney, and that would be a fine race.” do you think any of them will ever improve suf- ficiently to beat you?” “No; they are all older than Iam, and [ know that Ican improve imyself, and I mean to do it, too. Here the interview ended and the champion set out to bid some of his host of friends good by. I might say that in all his races Hanlan hard work ashore and afloat and an ordinary dict, such as any person who ix in robust hoalth ana de- sires to keep it partakes of. Being a man of regular habits he has nothing to climinate Irom his system but only to strengthen what is in him. SKATING AND SLEIGHIN CENTRAL PARK CROWDED WITH MERRY VisrTors — ANIMATED SCENES ON ROAD AND LAKE. In the afternoon of yesterday the lake in the Park presented a very animated spectacle under the bright flood of sunshine that prevailed. The throng of skaters was hardly ever so large or so cheery, and the spectators who sat or stood by the shore were never weary yazing on the kaleidoscopic picture presented. ‘The southern half of the lake was the most crowded, the northern part being in an infeflor condition, the ice in places showing an uneven and rugged surface. At four o'clock it was estimated that about fifteen thousand persons were on the ice, They were of all ayes and conditions and the fair sex was numerousiy represented, ‘Che small boy was in sirong force and in great glee, and his voice gave @ lively stir to the wintry air, ‘The honse by the lake was a busy scene with the hundreds of young lads fixing on their skates, buying and esting cakes and candies and shouting at each other with the full power of their lungs. Here there was a constant rushing in and out, some going away, having had their Ail of skating,and | others arriving to take a turn at the sport.

The Park itselt, with its — by level plains covered = with the undriven snow, presented a petiect winter landscape that had its own particular attraction in the bright sunshine. Every place was, of course, d verted for the Inke. The nienageric was silent, and so were the terraces and waik, where whispering lovers promenade when the trees are in leaf and the green grass grows all round, The sleighing was not near so great ag on the previous Sunday, owing to the approaches to the Park being so denuded of snow. Still there wae a fair turnout of single and family sleigha. ‘There passed through the Fiith ave- nue entrance in the forenoon Hinglo teams. Family sleighs Single teams. Faruily sleig!

DESCRIPTION OF THE CRAFT BUILDING AT NEW- BURG—HER DIMENSIONS, INTENDED ACCOM- MODATIONS AND MACHINERY. Messrs. Ward, Stanton & Co., of Newburg, N. ¥., have in course of construction one of the largest steam yachts ever built in this country. The yacht has been ordered by a gentleman quite well known in yachting circles, and it is his desire that her first trip of importance may be made during the next June regatta of the New York Yacht Club. In every particular this craft will be a model of elegance and comfort, and if at any time her owner desires to cross the Atlantic or make a trip around the world in her it cun be done with safety. ‘The yacht, which is now wholly in frame, is of the following general dimen- sions:— Feet, Length on water line. . 149 Length on deck 163 Length over all 187 Breadth ++ 26 Depth of hold ie 7 Draught of water. ae Tonnage, 460 tons. Her materials of construction have been selected with the greatest care. The frame is of white oak and the stanchions of locust. Her knees are of hack- matack and the planking will be of oak, The deck beams will be of yellow pine, and iron beams will be | over the main saloon, Selected narrow strips of white pine will be used for the deck and curved to the side of the boat, All of her dead wood will be of oak and yellow pine, and in the matter of fastenings there will be copper below the water line and ygalvan- ized iron above. ‘This work will be done in the most thorough manner. THE DECK ARRANGEMENT. On deck forward, just ten feet aft the bitts, there will be a comfortable smoking room, 14 feet long by an average width of 10 feet. The fittings of this room will be neat and appropriate. There will be panels of hard wood, mahogany sash and plate glass lights, The room will be finished in white. Aft the smoking quarters will be the pilot house, standing on a trunk deck and sufticiently high to see over the smoking room. This will be finished in hard wood, the sash being of mahogany and the steering apparatus of ma. hogany and locust, Under the pilot house and ex- tending aft over the main saloon will be a trunk 2 feet 6 inches high and 14 feet wide. This will form a quarter deck, and it is to be finished with hard wood swinging sash around the sides, in which will be ground glass, These will provide both light and ven- tilation to the rooms below. At the after end of the trunk there will be an entrance to the main saloon from either side, These companionways will connect with winding stairs leading to the saloon, and are to be elegantly finished in mahogany, Aft the inain saloon trunk will be a trunk over the boilers and engines of the same length, which will also be fitted with hardwood sash and ground glass. Over the engines there will be a large mahogany sky- light. The companionway to the engine room will also be of mahogany. Aft the @ngine room trunk the deck will be flush the whole breadth of the vessel. This distance of nearly fifty feet will be fitted with trunk sliding hatches to the quarters of the crew be- low. Extra steering gear will be provided and fitted to the rudder at the extreme after end of the flush deck, which can be used at a moment’s notice should any injury happen to the pilot house steering apparatus, INTERIOR ACCOMMODATIONS.

Light and ventilation are secured by means of the ground ‘lass windows in the trunk above. The panelling of his room will be very handsome. ‘The ceiling will be finished in white touched with blue, as also will be all other portions of the saloon thus requiring at- tention. It has not been fully decided how the saloon will be furnished, but it is pretty cer- tain that sofas will be arranged on either side, so made that, if found necessary, they can be changed into beds. Heavy curtains will con- ceal them from view when thus used. Octagon buffets will be placed in cither corner of the saloon. Between the after bulkhead of the saloon and the boiler room bulkhead is a space of sixteen feet. This will be used as the galley, steward’s pantry, linen room, store room and a state room. Here also is to be a large icehouse, thoroughly lined, which will hold fully twenty tons of ice, provisions and stores. The kitchen pantry will contain everything that a large craft of this kind may require in that department. The, arrangement of this space between the boiler and saloon will be the means of keeping the heat trom the forward part of the boat, where her owner and his guests will their time while on board ut oe pleasantly and comfortably as in a sailing acht. ts Forward of the saloon on the starboard side will be a stateroom twelve feet square. This will be oc- cupied by the owner, and will be furnished and fitted in handsome style. Connecting with this stateroom will be a bathroom, seven feet by twelve feet.

A FEW MATCHFS AND A BATTLE ROYAL, Povomrerste, Jan, 25, 1879. ‘There was acock fight at Hudson last night be- tween Hudson and Athens birds, two single Sghts and one battle royal, a large number of the sporting fraternity from along the Hudson being present. The fret Aight was between two black-reds weighing four pounds fourteen ounces each, Thoy were #0 ually matched that it was a terrific battle for afew | moments, bat the Hudson bird brained the Athens bird, and that scored one for Hudson. Tha next was between a red and black, of Hudson, and agray pyle from Athens. In the betting 4 to 2 was laid on the gray, for he was the largest bird by two ounces, ‘The fight was very slow at the start and the red and black seemed to weaken early, but after four minutes’ easy fighting he cut the p: and the latter was taken out, which was another vic- tory for Hudson. ‘Thon came the battle royal, in which were eleven as handsome game fowls ax were ever secn. They had been sent in from Stockbridg Athens, Cate kill and Hudson, There was not much betting at the commencement, but after the birds got well to work the excitement ran high and the onslaught was tremendous, In less than two minutes four birds lay dead in the pit, two from Hudson, one from Athens and one from Catskill. Three of the birds flew out of the pit, when the other four fought with great fetceness, One six pound cock with a broken vg, owned at Athons, brained a six and a halt pound Hudson bird, This left three, Shortly after the one with the broken leg was brained in turn and taken out, which left two: a six pound black and red from Hudson and a gray pyle from Athens The gray had been fighting continuously, and was looked upon as a most wonderfal bird. His wind was extraordinary, and all sporting men about the pit looked at him with astonishment. He forced the fighting on the black and red all the time, until both got so weak from loss of blood and fighting that it was de- adrawn battle and one of the most hotly con- fights that have been witnessed for years. clare tested THE FIRST HALF DULLARS. ‘To tHe Eprton or THR Herat: In what year did the United States commence coin- ing half dollars ?

Ryan, on Herman avenue, between Bergenwood and Bergen Line avenues, Gut- | tenberg, and robbed the place of groceries, liquors and considerable money. The place is in Union township, within about a hundred yards of the river front, at a point near which the three men recently convicted gf the masked robberies at Fairview were thought to have crossed, A Henatp reporter visited the house last evening in company with Constable Dono- hue, who was at work on the case, The house is a frame one, two stories high, and stands almost op- posite St. Joseph's Catholic Church, The first floor is divided by a partition, on one side of which is a grocery store and on the other a liquor saloon, The top floor fs divided into three apartments, the kitchen running across the entire front and the rear apart- ments being used as @ sitting room and bedroom, Mrs. Ryan, the wife of the proprietor, said to the Henatp reporter that when she retired she closed the door leading from the stairway into the kitchen by placing a chair against it. Shortly after one o'clock yesterday morning she was awakened by a noise at the door as if the chair was being pushed away, but, thinking it was only the cat running about, she was about composing herself to sleep when her two-year- old danghter, sleeping with her brother ina crib at the foot of the beu, began to ery, and 4 man’s voice was heard to say, “Don’t cry, Lizzie; papa is here.” uP. there were burglars in the house, and she shook her husband, who awoke, but remained in bed. Mrs, Ryan says that she kept her eyes partly open, and saw in the room men, two of Whom wore red cloths across their and the other a white handkerchief. They did not approach the bed or attempt to speak to her or Mr. Ryan, but searched through the room until they found a spice box un- der the bed, containing about $60, which they emptied, and then, after ransacking the pockets of Mr. Ryan's clothing, went down stairs, During their stay in the room Mrs. Ryan says she heard voices down stairs which led her to believe that two of the party had been lett below. When she went down she says that she discovered that a chest of t even demijohns of liquor, a quantity of gro- “8 and considerable tobacco been stoien. The shutter of one of the windows on tho south side of the house, looking into the saloon, had been cut and four of the blinds removed. It is thought that the thieves first attempted to effect an entrance in that way, but, failing, cut the sash in acellar window and ascended the cellar stairs and cuts hole around the latch so that it could be re- moved. The woman says that the intruders left the place at five o'clock in the morning. Ryan, the proprietor of the place, was found ina saloon a quarter of a mile distant and confirmed all that his wife had said, Mrs. Ryan had said that her husband found a paper and a bottle in the yard, and he expressed some surprise when questioned about these articles, but finally drew from his pocket a small sheet of crumpled and torn white paper, upon which was written the following :— June ¥.—I came to Gustenberg as poor as church monse but now iam as rich ay a king. JK. WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTLES? As he handed the paper to the reporter he said, with a leer, “If that thing hadn’t happened I would have sworn that the writing there was mine.” He denied all knowledge of any bottle until the reporter persisted in his statement that one had been founda, and then he said that two bottles had been found in the yard, but he had thrown both away. When questioned about the amount of money stolen he suid it was $60 altogether, part of which belonged to another party. He declined to say who the other party was. He said that he first heard the burglars in his room at two o'clock and they left at four, His manner while he told his story, together with the statement of his wife that the burglars re- mained in the house for several hours, and, further, that only a portion of the money stolen was his own, created the impression among not a few, including the constable, that the story will not bear investiga- tion. HEDGED TOO SOON. William Guotz,a German, of No. 46 Essex street, who does not speak the English language fluently, was arraigned before Judge Murray, in the Essex Market Police Court, yesterday morning, charged by Henry C. Wetchen, a grocer at No. 15 Hester street, with stealing eggs. “What have you to say to this charge?” said the Judge. “I don't-dake dot man's eggs. go in dot store to buy someding! The clerk had no other witness besides himself, and Judge seemed to be in fuvor of discharging the man. In reply to other questions the prisoner said that he lived at No. 46 Essex street, and that the key to his room was in the corner liquor store. An officer was sent over to get the key, but it was not there. “Now, Guetz,” said the Judge, “Iam going to send over and break into your room and see if the eges are there,” The German weakened. “Schudge, Yer Honor, I buy me seventy-vive eggs in Vashington Marget to- Pity No, sir, don't. I th The frightened prisoner and the officer left the court, They returned in about a quarter of an hour, aud the officer stated that a vigilant search failed to discover an egy. “You said you had seveuty-five eggs at hom “Your st doesn’t hang together. “schndge, Yer Honor,” said he, in a shaky voi “1 vant» do'safo mine vite vrom disgrace.

I’ perfectly agree with you about our diplomats in most of the old countries; they are simply ornamental and of no practical use. What we do want is good consuis, who have character and are good business men. ‘They should be well paid and do all that the Minis- ters are expected to do in ‘addition to consular duties. I believe our government commits n grave error in sending out small squads of men to control the Ind- iwns; to join in that service is @ little better than committing suicide. I believe that our army, sufii- ciently large, should be kept there so that its moral effect would preclude any possibility of fighting. If Luman life is of any value it is quite time that our soldiers, instead of being sent in handfuls to be mur- Kd be sent in sufficient force to be able to iselves, If a large force were kept ont control the Indians and protect the settlers, and put down and punish the men who rob and the aid of @ Nttle martial cheat the Indians, by it Would soon settle the Indian or strong law, war question, Au army of 100,000 men for a few "s ‘in that ‘country wonld — settle permanently the Indian war question and very soon civilize them so that the continuous indian wars that we hive becu hearing about irom onr infancy would Had auch « pot a pursned Afty years ago there would be no more Indian wars now, but just as long as our government furnishes just the necessary material Lor the Indians to fight with xo long the war will last.
