DRY (lOOns, Arc. around in the endeavor to savo his distance. Tho COURT NEWS. WASHINGTON. IN PERIL.

'I'lio Life of a Man wno xrn. stabbed on New Year's Day. THE WALK 4 O'CLOCK EDmOI MUNICIPAL. Alderman Frenoh is a member of the Alder manic Committeo of Railroads, and some curiosity has boon olt as to his position on tho rapid transit question. He Is a property owner on Falton street, whero it is proposed to construct an elevated road, Whilo ho waa at the City Hall this morning he was questioned as to hia views, and replied substantially as foUows "I wiU bo largely guided by tho people of my ward as to the necessity of elevated railroads, and wul be glad to hoar from them on that subject.

Being a property owner on Fulton street myself, and feeling that it would bo a very great damage to me personally if a road were constructed on that atreet, I am opposed to It, and unless I havo more light than I now have, I think the company cannot obtain the consent of one half In value of tho owners, unless claims for damages are allowed. But I shall act largely upon the views of my constituents, aa I am elected to represent them." Upon being asked as to what he meant by damages, the Alderman Bald I do not mean damages from tha use of the street, but actual damage to the property by its depreciation in consequence of the construction and operation of the road. I think it would require from one to two years to ascertain tho real damages in this way, but It is neces Bary that the law should be amended to meet this case in order to make the opening dear to rapid transit in Brooklyn." TALMAGE. ST. PATRICK SOCIETY BANQUET.

Tho Arrangements Made for tUe Festive Cclobration of the irtto of Morels. The St. Patrick Society, of the city of Brooklyn, has for the past thirty years commemorated the anntvorsary of the birthday of the Patron Saint of tha "Green Isle," by a annnal banquet, and these annual gatherings have been distinguished always for eloquence, wit and song, and rare good fooling and good fellowship. The approaching banquet promises to surpass those that have precoded It, judging from the extensive arrangements which been made. The banquet will take place at tho Academy of Mnslo.

Mr. J. J. Rogers, the well known caterer, will provide the dinner, Mr. Devero the muaio, and tha members' and their guests may be relied on for eloquence and song.

In response to the usual toasts, speeches will be made by the Rev. Mr. Keegan, Gowwelor, P. 3. O'Hanlon, Hon.

Maurice B. Flynn, Mr. Andrew McLean, Mayor Howell, Captain Tanner, Mr. J. P.

Curran and others. At tha meeting of the St. Patrick Society, held last evening, the committees appointed reported that all the arrangements for the banquet had been perfected. Five or six new members were balloted for and elected. Tho committee has undertaken the creditable project of presenting a bust of "Tom" Moora to the city.

It will be placed in Prospect Park, and will bo ready so that its presentation may mark the centennial anniversary of the poet's birthday. Nearly all the money required haa already been BUbBorlbed by the members of the Society, for no outside aid haa been asked. Last night the following additional subscriptions wero received David T. Lynch, $10; Dominic Byrne, $10; Francis Curran, $10; Roderick O'Connor, $10; John O. Foley, $5.

The Mueio Committee reported that the use of a Bradbury upright piano had been placed at their disposal, by Mr. F. G. Smith, the manufacturer. Englishman limed a litttle from the effect of a raw heel, which had troubled him since early morning.

It old not, however, impede his walk, and he kept such a pace that as ho mlght.not could reduce his lead. As Ennis approached tho Judge's stand he broke into a gracoful run, passing Rowell and continuing through soveral laps. The Englishman walked unconcernedly along, eating an applo and paying no attention to tho applause showered upon him. Harrimann strode along far in the rear. After running three laps Ennis fell back into his walk, and kept woll up to his competitors.

The.oonteatanta were repeatedly cheered by their backers. The bulletins at one o'clock showed 71 miles and 4 laps for Rowell 448 miles and 5 laps for Ennia and 427 miles and 6 laps for Harrlman ENNIB' SPLENDID SPOUT. As Ennis neared his 460th mile a satisfied expression overspread his countenance. He passed the judge's stand on tha last lap of bla 49th mile at 18 minutes and 23 seoonds past ten o'olook this afternoon. Rowell was slightly In advance of him at the time.

Harrlman waa far In the rear The Chicago man started on his 450th mils running like a doer. His pace was quicker than at any time during the match. He dashed around the ellipse aa easily as if he had just commenoed, Btriking tho ground and bounding from foot to foot as If his pedal extremities were supplied with springs. The audlenoe became wild with enthusiasm. Spectators who had seats rose to their feet ana shouted; those without seats rushed to the railing and yelled.

Ladies stood on their chairs, waving their handkerchiefs and vails. Several men threw their hatB high in tho air, only to lose them in the surging, roaring throng. Ennis quickened hia speed as he moved. Every muBcleofhis well knit frame was brought into lull play, tie ran with hla arms well up to his chest and hia head Dent well forward. Amid continued cheering he ran the eight lapa necessary to make the 450th mile, finishing it in 7 minutes and 16 seconds.

It was the laBtest mua oi the match. Ennis did not stop until he had run all the way round to his cottage. He retired within the building, followed by a storm of applause that seemed to make the building quiver to its foundations. Ttae atfjr time as the Chicago man passed Bowell, the Englishman looked at him with eVdent admiration. Harriman smiled and spoke a cheering word.

The New Englander finished his 430th mile at 1:34 o'clock, and soon afterward entered his cabin, nearly worn out. His attendants and trainers are making every effort to im prove hh condition, in order to enable him to make 460 miles. It was the understanding early in tne aayinat if he accomplished that distance ho should not attempt to do more. Bowell flnishod his 475th mile at 1:55:07 o'olock this afternoon. The spectators gave him hearty cheers, .1.1.1 J1 A Vln At n'ninnir tllA RllfH Ho quickly retired to his cabin.

At 2 o'clock tho audience was rapidly increasing. The men wero all off the track. No apprehensions of trouble to night are entertained by the management, but there will bo an ample force of police on hand to meet any emergency. Harrlman came on the track at 2:20 o'clock walking Blowly and painfully. It iB conceded that Rowell will win the match.

The only bet offered this morning was one of $100 to 5 on tho Englishman. There were few takers.

will next Monday evening deliver a lecturo In St. Mary's Hall, corner of Court and Nelson streets, on "St, Patrick's Mission, Life and Labors." PRECOCIOUS. A of Ten Years Arrested for Highway Robbery. She Instructs a Younger Brother and Sister to Steal. Officer Corcoran, of the Fifth Precinct, yesterday afternoon arrested Heinrich Grady, aged eight yoars, and his slater, aged five years, tor stealing a pair of shoes valued at $1.50 from in front of Mr.

T. 8. Casey's store, at 209 Broadway. The pair when Uken into custody at their parents' home confessed to having stolen the shoes at the instigation of their eletcr Sophia, agod ton years. Sophia admitted the truth of her brother's aUegaOon, and surrendered the ehoes, which were secreted In the cellar.

Sophia and Heinrich were arraigned in Justice Elliott's Court this morning. The magistrate asked the girl If she had not been CONCERNED IN A HIGHWAY BODBEBY. She admitted that in company with another girl she stopped a girl on her way to school one morning lately and forcibly took a breastpin from her. The magistrate reminded her that ho let her go whon arraigned for that offense on her promise to reform. It was fortunate for her that Mr.

Casey refused to make a complaint acalnst her, otherwise ho would send her to an Institution whore she would not have an opportunity to put up thieving jobs for some time to come. As it "Oh, don't, Cap, let her go, this timo and I will tako care of her in future," broke out her father, an excitable German. The spectators laughed outright at the word Cap," uttered in broken English. "Why did you not tako care of her when I let her go before?" asked the Court. "I told the old woman, Cap (laughter, to send hor to school yeaterday, as she was wild, bul tt seems aha didn't," replied the father.

"I wiU let her go thla time because I cannot help my aelf, but the noxt time Bhe is brought before me I wUl commit her on a policeman's complaint if nobody else makea one against her." "Thank you, Cap flaughtor, very much obliged Shudge," eaid tho father, correcting himself. He hurriedly left tho court room, foUowed by hia offspring. 8T. MART'S HOSPITAL FAIB.

a District Court for Vbs Bostarn IMsufct i Litigation Extending Through Many Courts for Twenty Years. How a Haintiff, After Getting Judgment, was Finally Defeated and Mulcted in Forty Times the Amount for Costs. In 1860, Lewis Beach, at that time a resident of Brooklyn, contracted with WilUam N. Rao, carpenter, for the building of a house on CUnton avo. The work was to be done under the suporviaion of an architect, and tho contract contained the usual provision for arbitration in case of dispute as to the value of the extra and omitted work.

On completion of the building, the parties could not agree among themselves. The owner proposed an arbitration, which was rcfusod, and the contractor brought hla action at law ogainBt Beach to recover for the alleged extra work, in tho City Court of Brooklyn. On being thus suod, Mr. Beach, a lawyer htmsolf, made an offer under section SS5, of the old Coda, to pay $125 and coats. The contractor's claim, after crediting the omitted work, amounted to $155, bo that the sum iu controversy at the beginning of the suit in 1861, waa just $30.

The case was referred to the late Mr. G. T. Jenks, who, after taking the testimony, had it under advisement, but died before making his report. It was thereafter roferred to Mr.

E. Cul Ien, but he declined to serve, and an order was made referring It to Mr. O. S. Burnet.

Mr. Burnett reported In favor of the plaintiff for an amount which would have thrown the coBts on the defendant. An appUcation waa then made to the Court to aet aside tha report, and it waa granted, aud the caBe waa ordered on the calendar for trial before a Jury. It came to trial before Judge McCne and a jury on Juno 28, 1872, and reanlted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $101.20 only. The verdict being less than the amount of the offer, THE DEFENDANT CLAIMED THE COSTS, which at this time amounted to four times as much aa the judgment.

Costs were allowed the defendant by the clerk, but on appeal to tho Court tho taxation was aet aside, and it was held that because tho defendant did not repeat his offer after putting in his answor, the plaintiff was entitled to costs. The ground of that decision waa, that the answer, in terposed subsequent to the offer, contained counter claims which were extinguished by the verdict, and therefore the recovery of the plaintiff was more favor able than the amount of the offer. Tho lettor which accompanied tbe offer was disregarded, and tlie Judges of the City Court of Brooklyn, upon appeal, held that the "omitted work" aet up In the answer by way of de fonso and reduction of the plaintitT'e claim were coun ter claims. Another defense interposed by Lewis Beach in that action was that tho contract out of which tho dispute arose oontalned a provision for "arbitration" of aU disputes. This defense waa ruled out on the trial.

Shortly afterward the decision of tho Court of Appeals In the case of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company vs. Pennsylvania Coal Company (50 N. Y.205) which was In direot conflict with the ruling of tho City Court of Brooklyn, waa promulgated. Lewis Beach thereupon took an appeal from the judgment; but inasmuch as the time to make a case had expired, he waa confined upon the argument to the Judg ment roll alone, which failed to disclose the exceptions taken on the trial, The judgment was affirmed with costa. Mr.

Beaoh made an attempt to get a certificate to review the case in the Court of Appeals, and falling in that, concluded to CONTEST THE JUDGMENT IN ANOTHEB WAY. The Sheriff of Orange County, to which oxeontions had been issued, refused to execute them, Mr. Beach having deposited the amount of the Judgments for his Indemnity. Rae then brought his action iu the Court of Common Picas upon the undertaking which bad been given on appeal in the City Court of Brooklyn action. The sureties defended on a number of technical grounda, one of which waB that tho notice of entry of judgment of affirmance required by Section 348, old Code, had not been served before commencing action on the undertaking.

This caso was triod three times in tho Common Pleas, went to tho General Term twice, and eventually to the Court of Appeals, and tho decision of the lattor court has been handed down affirming tho position taken by tho sureties. One of the surotlos was defended by Lewis Beach and the other by Mr. B. F. See, of Turner, 8ee McClure.

Each defendant taxod a separate biU of costa, and tho costs againBt Rae aggregated olose on to $1,200. The matter has been settled by Rae satisfying of record tho judgments recovered in tho City Court of Brooklyn action against Beach and paying the difference. Appointment of Commissioner by tbe General Term ot tlie Supreme Court to Determine tlie Houte oS tlie lLlngH County Elevated Railroad An extraordinary session of tha Gonoral Term of tho Supreme Court of the Second Judicial Department was held at Poughkeepsio, yesterday. Tho buBiness before it occupied little timo, but waa of very great Importance to thla city. On the assembUng of the Conrt thoro wero prcsout Chief Justice Barnard, presiding, and Associate Justices GUbert and Dykman.

Among the members of tho bar were ex Judge Emott, Hon. H. J. Scuddor, Mr. F.

A. Ward, Mr. Charles J. Lowrey, Mr. Alexander Cameron, Corporation Counsel W.

0. DoWitt and Colonol Edgar M. CuUeu. Ex Judge Emott said that he appliod on behalf of the KlngB County Elevated RailroSd Company, for the appointment of Commissioners to determine tho route through tho City of Brooklyn. Mr.

DeWitt arose, whereupon Chief Justice Barnard said that it was an ex parte application aud there was no need for counsel to address the Court. Mr. Cullon also ossayed to speak, and the two gentlemen managed to let the Court know that their only object waa to secure the appointment of a fair commission. The Court retired and on reassembling announced as Commissioners Freltag H. Smith, James A.

Hewlett and 8amuel B. Bartow. Mr. DeWitt objected to Mr. Frellng H.

Smith on tho ground that he resided In a remote part Brooklyn and would naturaUy be favorable to tho project. The Court again retired, and after a brief absence returned and announced the substitution of 3Ir. Thomas E. Stillman, of the firm of Butler, Stillman Hubbard, in the place of Mr. Smith.

Mr. Bond, President of tho Kings County Elevated Railroad, said that Mr. Stillman was hia bitter personal enemy and ought not to be appointed. Mr. DeWitt suggested that a personal reason ought not to Btand in tha way of the appointment of a gentleman who was otherwise unexceptionable.

The Court again retired for consultation, aud on returning named Richard M. Ingraham as Commissioner. Bomo objections having been made by couusel for tho railroad, President Bond withdrew hia objections to Mr. Stillman and ha waa appointed. The Commission, therefore, stands thus Thomas Stillman, lawyer; Samvicl B.

Further Rapid Transit Legislation The Ferry Bills Killed, Special Correspondence of the Eagle. March 14.

As the Governor is in the habit of weakly yielding to the demands of everybody who chooses to insist upon action, probably he ma yield in this instance, but if he did, up to present writing nothing has been learned. The tolegrams con tinue to pour into Albany asking O'Keuly's attenuauco in Washington, declaring that ho may lose his seat if he doeB not attend.

REPORTS ON BROOKLYN LEGISLATION. There were a number of reports from committees of the Assembly to day. Richardson retires from this afternoon flushoawith the success of the first Btep of his campaign. This morning Mr.

Halsey, from the Rail road Committee, reported adversely the biu to repeal the law authorizing the use of steam on Atlantic avenue, above Flatbush avenue, and the report was agreed to In tho House, thua kiUlng the measure. The othor bill to authorize the construction or an ele vated railway from South Ferry to Carlton avenue the bill substituted in the committee for the blU authorizing tho construction of a depressed or elevated road was reported favorably and referred to tne committee of the Whole. This blU ia an amendment to the charter of the Atlantio avonue Company, and is not hampered by any compensation restrictions. ItprovldeB that if the road is not begun in six montns ana compietea within eighteen months, the privilege Is to be forfeited. The effect of the construction of thiB road wiUbe to prevent the Kings County road from sending a branch down Fourth avenue to Gowanus.

umphant in all particulars. Richardson is tri FEBBY BILLS. The bill that had for Its purpose the establishment of a ferry from the foot of Bridge street tho biU Introduced by Mr. Clanoy has been reported adversely from the Assembly Committee on Commerce and Navigation and kUled by an agreement with the report. Sheridan's biU to reduce the rates of ferriage upon the Union Ferry Company to one cent was reported for the considera tion of the House.

This report means tnat me com mittee on Commerce and Navigation believes that the bUl ought to be killed, but out of deference to the wish era and desires of Mr. Sheridan, who is the father of the bill and also a member of the committee, tbey report it without recommendation. When it is up in the Com mittee of tho Whole, under theclrcumstances, it wiU be promptly killed. Tho other bills reported favorably were TaUmadge'fl biU for the protection of bathera at pubUo watering places, providing for life lines and lifeboats, and the bUl fortheroUef of James Deering. The most astonishing thing, however, was the favor able report from the Committee on Cities on the blU to Incorporate the five country towns of Kings County with the City of Brooklyn.

When the biU was brought up before the Committee on Cities, John F. Henry waa the only person who was found to favor its passage, and by a large number of Brooklynltes present the commit tee was assured that nobody was in favor of its enact ment. Yet in the face of this the committee reports the biU favorably. There was no justification for such report, and a mere statement of the facts wiU kiU the biU in the Committee of the Whole. Senator Pierce to day introduced a biU, providing for the establishment of a State Board of Health.

It pro vides that the Board shaU consist of throe physicians. who shall be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by tho Senate, and whose Balariea BhaU bo three thou sand dollars apiece. Mr. Ogden introduced a biU relating to the compensa tion to property ownera for damage by the construc tion of elevated roads. It is said to havo emanated from the property owners of Myrtle avenue aud Fultou and Washington streets.

The compensation bills are pouring in in such numbers that it seems that some one of them wiU Burely pass. The foUowing is the fuU text of the bUl An Act la relation to compensation to be made for damages caused by tue construction oi elevated railways In the City of Brooklyn. Seotion 1.

Harriinan Likely to Save his Share of the Gate Money Ennis Walking Steadily and Well but Still Twcnty threo Miles Behind Bowell Scenes and Incidents on the Track To day Harriman Beels on the Course and has to he Supported. The Becord front Hour to Hour Bet ling, Etc. Gilmore's Garden was packed at 2 o'clock this morning.

Standing room in any portion of the vast building could only bo obtained after a struggle. Every seat was occupied. A dense mass of people waa wedged within the eolipso. The excitement was more intense than at any time during the match. Applause rattled through the garden continuously.

Occasionally a cbeor arose, seeming to shake tho timbers of tho arched roof. The little globeB on the ohandeliers actually Jlnoled amid the mighty roar. Rowell and Harrlman wore at this time on the track. Tho little Englishman showed no sign of breaking down. A ruddy color flushed his cheeks.

His eye was as bright as an eagle's. He trudged along with his easy, confident Btride. A dark cardigan jacket and a pair of ootton drawers composed his costume. His head was covered by the Bilken cap presented by a lady admirer. Altogether he was as jaunty aa though ha had just commenced his journey.

THE LONG YANKEE, annarentlv invigorated by his midnight Mat, Waited nnT4nn(nrt WftHnll Tnere waa not a uugo of color In his cheeks, but his eye betokened slight to provemeut in his condition. While the band banglaaway at the well worn airs of tha "Pinafors," he increased his pace. He wore a knit jacket, trunks of purple velvet and long leggings, an old white hat covered his head. Occasionally, as ho passed the bulletin, he cast his eyeB upon tho figures. The reoord which confronted him told ho was 40 mil ss behind RoweU, who at two o'olock had completed 432 miles.

Harrlman continued on with an unconcerned air, only aiming to finish the 450 miles nec tr BRcnre bia share of the eato money. It was re norted to day that RoweU and EnniB had promised him t. i.a.1 1 a liberal portion of the receipts wnetner ue compieieu the attempt or not. Ennis, who had retired to his cottago at 1:55.25 o'clock, reappeared at 2:24.65, in fine form. Determination waa written on every lineament of his face.

Tho strains of "Yankeo Doodlo," and ohoers from the audience greeted him. The crowd, after shouting themselveB hoarse, took up the air, and with whiBtling and stamping of feet, made a racket that could be heard a block distant. Several hundred unwashed patriots in tho streets echoed the tune. Tho Chicago man resumed his journey on 0 sharp run. Rowell followed closely at Mb heels, with hla dogged trot.

Amid great excitement the race oontinued for five laps. Near tho close the men made a tremendous spurt that increased the enthusiasm of the spectators, who Bhouted almost continuously. At the end of the run Kowell had scored 432 miles, two laps, and Ennis 405 miles. Harrlman, in the meantime, oontinued his walk, although lus pallor increased and he showed Eigne of distress. At 2:43 o'clock Rowell again broke Into a run.

EnniB quickly took up the gauntlet. The burst of speod that followed was tho fineBt Been during tho match and the longest. It waa A BEATJTOTTL CHASE. The audience had begun to diminish, but the tide which had been turning toward the doors now ceased, and the three or four thousand spectators united in cheering. Tho run, which waa tho longest of the oonteBt, lasted 57 minutes and 35 Beoonds.

By it Rowell and En his Increased their scores 6 miles and lapa each. While they ran Harriman plodded on wearily. Three o'clock came and vacant Beats began to show in the gallories. At this time the throe men were on the track, Rowell leading Ennis and Harriman keeping third place. Five minutes later Ennis quickened up nis pace and passed the visitor from over the water.

The ap plause of his friends thundered ttrougn tne uaraen. Hundreds of people thought the time had come when ho was to regain his lost ground. We'll keep the belt," Bhouted a tall fellow, in the rear of the reporter's pen. The backers of Ennis looked pleasod. Rowell'a recovery from hia surprise was Instantaneous.

With a quick movement he throw off his jacket and ran after his antagonist. Tho race was a very pretty one. It resulted in RoweU regaining the lead. Harriman Kept on his way amid words of encouragement until eight minutes of four, when he retired to his oottage for a short rest. EnniB kept up his gait until five o'clock, whon ho rotired to his oabin.

Tho bullotin fifteen minutes later showed that Rowell had accomplished 444 milea; Ennis, 420 miles, 4 Japs, and Harriman, 405 miles. The Englishman kept bravely on while the others rested. As tho gray dawn brightened in the moonlight that poured in through the ciroular windows of the Hippodrome, tho audience, which had been reduced to less than 3,000, began to increase. The arrival of the early risers seemed to quicken Rowell'e movements. He was apparently in splendid condition.

AN EXCITINO INCIDENT relieved the monotony of the walk at about 6:30 o'clock. A drunken ruffian vaulted over tho railing at the west side of the garden.and as his feet struck tho track behind Rowell, he Bhouted a filthy phrase. Rowell paid no attention to the scoundrel, but kept on hlB way. A burly policeman Belzed the intruder and hus tled him from the gardon. Roundsman Kelly went on tho track and followed the Englishman several laps, Tho audionco remained orderly during the scene, and whon the inaulting ruffian hissed him they cheered the Eiiffliehman.

Ennis in the meantime had joined Rowell and Harriman, who had also come on tho track, was about fifty feet behind. RoweU had now made 448 milea and 6 laps Ennis 425 miles and 0 lapa, and Har. riman 409 milos and 3 laps. At Ch. 55m.

53a. the New Englander took a long rest, kemiina his couch till 8 o'clock. He seemed to need it and was greatly distressed. Ennis walked ahead of Rowell, who foUowed him closely untU 7b. 63m.

45a o'clock, when he went into his cottage. Tho Englishman kept on his way. When Harriman appeared at 8 o'olock he shook hands warmly with the Englishman and tho two walked a Ian together. Then RoweU drew auioklv away. Ennis.

much refroshod by his rest, waa at work again at 8:16:35 o'clock, and walked abreast of RoweU until 9:08:45 o'clock, whon the latter, having mado 457 mUes and seven laDs. rotired to his cabin, wnicn was moom iug with flowers, but immediately reappeared. The Chicaco pedestrian completed his 440th mile at 10:15:37 and then rested again. Harriman, at 10:30:32, also re tired, leavinn tho track to Rowell until 11:01:42, when the Down Easter again came back and began his 421st Harriman was paler than ever. When he had gone half way round the track he reeled and would have fallen had not RoweU eupporiea mm.

jino vucu walked tooether. As the Yankee neared the judge's stand he was presented with a magnificent basket of flowers by a lady. A omile of satisf action iUuminated his face and he INCREASED HIS PACE as RoweU assisted him to carry tho gift round the track Rowell, on the first lap of his 466th mile, received a fine floral basket adorned with the standard of Great Britain and the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. Ennis was out of hlB cabin at llh. 10m.

25b. and started on his 442nd mile. His condition, according to his appearance and the testimony of his trainer, was very satisfactory. Early in the day nis menus aoanuuueu tho idea that ho could win tho match, and betting waa consoauently almost given up. The throng in tho garden Increased toward noon, and bv 12 o'clock there were 4,000 people in tne nuiiuiug From 11:15 o'clock tUl noon RoweU, Harriman and Ennis walked at an easy pace, the EnghBhman leading and tho Yankeo in the rear.

At 10:05 o'clock RoweU had made 468 miles, Ennis 444 miles and Harriman 424 miles aud 2 lapB. At one time this morning a lady in the front row of Beats had a largo crown of flowers and green plants to present to RoweU. On the top of the crown were two Encliah flans, the Union Jack aud a naval one. Bur mountine these wore the 8tars and Stripes. Whon Rowell came abreast of whero the lady sat, his trainer took the floral offering to him, but he Bhook hlB head.

Whother it was that he would not carry the American flag above the EngUBh one or that the crown waa too heavy to bear around the track were matters of conjecture. It was Bald tnat kowbu waa afraid of being mobbed should ho carry the nrrllHh flacs around. Tho crown was returned to the lady, and the English colors removed, tho Stars and Stripes being permitted to remain, and RoweU carried his trophy around the track with him. Floral offerings in abundance were given to the other competitors, and their huts were full of flowers, wrought into various designs, which filled the air with their perfume. An enthuslastio lady i)amror, tha morning, presented RoweU with a goid medal about the size ofa twenty live cent silver piece, attaohed to which wan a blue silk ribbon, and this he pinned oa hla breast and continued his Mr.

Atkinson, Sir John ABtley's representative, stated to day that Rowoll, the Englishman, had received quite a numbor of threatening letters since ho began his walk. One of the letters reads as follows Private. Should your man, RoweU, be bo far ahead Friday night or especially Saturday morning as to make it impossible for him to lose, you cannot be too watchful, as there Ib a party contemplating some dirty work to prevent him from winning. If tho attempt is made it will be done around whore the grotto is situated or eleo on the south side of the building near the saloon entrance, there 16 whore they are likely to be. On the north or west sides the game little fellow has nothing to fear.

Depend upon it, Blr, thiB Information is true and I assure you that you cannot have too many policemen in tho localities above mentioned. Wishing you all success and knowing that tho little fellow cannot be beat If he has only fair play, I remain, Signed An Asiebican Loveu op Faib Play. The attendance of ladies this morning was greatly over that of previous days at the same time When the crown with the English flag waa exhibited, the roughs among the spectators greeted it and Rowell with hisses, but the latter paid no attention to theBe demonstrations. The only betting to day was $100 to $5 that Rowoll would win tho belt. Atkinson to day denied that Rowell had a varicose vein started cn one of hla legs.

He said the only things he suffered from were the blisters on his feet. He suffered very little from chafing and eat aU his meals very heartily, taking mostly BoUd food. He eats about twenty oranges a day, which act on him aa a slight aperient. He is fresh, comparatively Bpeaklng, for the Blxth day, aud when ho enters his hut Is chatty and vivaoioua. At one o'clock this afternoon the scores were RoweU, 471 miles, 2 laps; Ennis, 447 milB, 4 laps; Harrlman, 427 mUes, 5 lapa.

It is now conceded, almost beyond a doubt, that Harriman wiU be able to cover the 450 miles and save his gate money should he continue hla present rate of walking and his strength hold out; should he not do it, however, it is stated that RoweU aud Ennia wiU give him $500 each, to cover his expensea. It la Bald that Ennis and O'Leary have already challenged RoweU for the belt, and that the money has bean put up. Last night "Al" Smith bet Mr. Walton, proprietor of the St. James Hotel, $2,000 against $600 that Harrlman would not make 450 miles.

RoweU'fl fastest mile, from mid night last night up to one o'clock this afternoon, vjaa his 438th, which was done In 8m. Ennis' fastest waa bis 422d, In 11m. and Harriman'a was his 393d, In 14m.

THE TRAPS. A Urely meeting' at Dexter's. There was an unusual gathering of the orack wing shots of the Island at Dextor's yesterday. the occasion being the second monthly meeting of the Lone Island Club to shoot for tho Eddy prize gun.

At the first meeting it was thought that the entrance of no less than twenty competitors In the lista was an unusual number, but yesterday this arowd was exceeded; bosido whioh It waa a notable gathering for the number of first class shots who entered for the chance of winning the prize. Among the twenty seven candidates who went to the score waa the veteran shot, Mr. King; alao Mr. Talbot, who Is to shoot the match at the Driving Park next week; Mr. MlUer, who took tho lead at the first meeting, together with the victor In the prize gun shoot of the Brooklyn Club, Dr.

Wynn Mr. Eddy, one of tho crack shots of the Long Island Club, and such noted oxperts as Messrs. Madison, Gill, Dr. Aten, Broadway, Blankley, It waa from such a crowd as thiB that tho Brooklyn Professor of entomology, the veteran taxidermist, Akhurst, bore off the honors of the day, and this he did by grassing THIRTEEN BDM8 without a miss, he kiUlng ail his birds sent from five traps with his first barrel, six of them being drivers. four quarterers and but three incomers.

The weather was vry propitious for the shooting, and Dexter got lot of young birds, fifty three of those that were kiUod being lively drivers and thirty eight good quartering blrda. The shooting was done at handicap distances, from 21 to 25 yards rather closo quarters for prize gun shooting and eleven of the con testants had to stand at the full distance. The shooting was at Beven birds each from five traps, using one or two barrels. The character of the shooting may bo judged by tho fact that eighty Bix of the hundrod aud Beven birds kiUod wero dropped with the first barrel, The first to enter the lists were Messrs. Eddy, Turner, Akhurst, Madison, 'Wynn and Talbot, after which others joined them as they arrived until the large total of TWENTY SEVEN SHOOTERS were cawed to the score.

fAXter the seven rounds had been shot off it was found that five of the twenty seven contestants had the scores of seven birds killed without a miss, Messrs. AkhurBt, Broadway, Madison, Ap pleyard and Blankley. Talbot had missed hia seoond bird, and Wynn had killed all but hla sevonth, Eddy retiring after missing his sixth, and GUI after Beeing his fifth get away, as did MlUer. Smith only shot at our birds, Dr. Aten at three, Langcake at two and the broth era Holt, and Hance and Medway at one each.

In fact only seven of the contestants shot at their uU number of eeven birds each.

At the Tabernacle last evening, Mr. Talmnge resumed his series of lectures upon secular events of the week looked at from a religious standpoint, which was interrupted by his recent visit West. A very large audionco greeted him. The occasion was a doubly Interesting one, for In addition to an excellent lecturo the members of the church and congregation presented Mr.

Talmage with a testimonial of their affection and confidence. It consisted of an expression of their sentiments, executed In penmanship by Mr. WilUam Hah, member of the church, the offering being enclosed by an olegant gUt frame. The lettering was in water colors, all being done with a steel pen. It waa really an artistic production.

During Mr. Talmage's absence In the West a number of the members of the church conceived the idea of presenting him with some expression of the feelings of his flock toward him, inasmuch aa an attack had been made upon him in Presbytery, and it waa decided that (should take the form executed by Mr. Hall. Wishing to have the affair a surprise to tho pastor, and knowing that if it became known generally among the thousands of tho church and congregation it would come to his ears upon his return, tho managers obtained but a thousand signatures, deeming that number sufficient for the time. Had they desired they could undoubtedly have seoured seven or eight thousand names.

The names were arranged in lists and affixed to the back of the framo, so that they could easily be examined by the pastor. It waa arrangod to have tho presentation immediately after the lecture. Mr. Talmago spoke of his trip to the West, whero ho lectured every night for a week or more, and described it as most euccessf ul in every respect. Hla othor subject was the death of Bayard Taylor, He had closed hia remarks, and was giving out a hymn when Major Corwin, who had been sitting in the body of the church, came forward, and ascending the platform, took from one of tho recesses an easel which had been placed there.

Mr. Talmage looked at Corwin and then at the easel, apparently astonished; but his astonishment waa increased when the testimonial waa brought from a sido room and laid on the easle. THE RESOLUTION. Major Corwin thereupon turned to the pastor, and said You mav think I am Interruotina the exercises this veninc. but I think you wiU pardon it whon you know that I am doing it in tho name of about one thousand of our congregation.

If more had known that this was to be done we have kept it private there would have been ten thousand names signed to this roll call. Turing your twelve days of rest, or before you left, I think, the war wnoop was sounueu, anu some people mougni perhaps you would not dare to go under those oircum atancoa but you did go, and we stayed here and held the fort while you were gone. Applause. There are here about one thousand genuine signatures hut, as I said, wo had to do tha work very privately in order that it might not become known to you otherwise tbero would nave been very many more names, inoso signatures are attached to a testimonial which has been prepared by an officer of your church. Aa you once stated, when you wore leaving us in 1869 for Europe, that you never mado much usa but you appreciated everything bo this has been done without any fuse, but wo appreciate, sir, everything you have dona for us.

Appiause.j we nave not naa mucn tune, during toe past ten years that you have been our pastor, to attend to the pleasant affairs of Ufe. Wo have been building churches and burning them up and so on laughter, but now, wo have our church built, thank God, and I don't think it will burn up. While we do not feel it necessary lor ua as a congregation to assure you tnat we love you as a pastor, any more than it would be necessary for your wife and children to tell you to night that thoy love you, stiU we feel liko giving expression to our fooling toward you In tho form we have selected. Amid these flowers and all that beautiful penmanship, if you look closely, you can read To our Beloved Pastor, Rev. T.

De Witt Talmage, D. We. the undersigned members of tho Church and Con groatlou of the Brooklyn Tabernaole express to you our hiRh appreciation of your earnest work in our midst. For your oncouragemeut, perseverance and well doing, we present tniB testimonial oi our auecnon, confidence and brotherly love. And we think that you wiU not prize it any the less because it was not the work of a professional artist, but the work of love, the penmanship of Mr.

Wm. A. Hall, of our church and session. Now, as Mr. Morgan is here, and we all want to take a Hand in tula presentation we might as woll sing one verse Bless'd be tho tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love The eUowBbip of kindred minds Is like to that above." If you please, we will rise and sing that verse and then our paator wiu nave tne noor again.

Mr. TnlmflffA was comnletelv Burnrised. not havin? re ceived the sUshtest intimation of what was to take place, He was vtBlbly anected by tnls demonstration oi love ana connaence on tne part or ma people, ana in replying to it did not speak with his usual fluency. After the Binging, he advanced to tho front of the platform and Baia MB. TALMAGE'B EE8TONSE.

Well, this beats the Dutch. Laughter. I never waa so nonplussed in my Ufe to make a don't suppose I waa ever more surprised. I don't think I was more surprised the Sabbath night some of you may remember.it when I stood here preaching andas about half through my sermon, when a man walked up the pulpit, an entire strauger, and while I was in tho midst of a long eeuteuco, put out his hand, aud said, "I would like to Bhake hands with you." Laughter. "Woll," I replied, "how are you 1" Laughter.

I feel moro like shaking hands than anything else JubI at this point. I think I can Btand as much bombardment as almost any man loud and continued appIauBe but kindness always makes me feel very weak in body and mind. We have been together a good whUe. Ten years Is a good whilo. During those ten years, we have been together In trial and suffering Bometimes.

I remember the Sabbath morning when I was coming to church and I saw smoke against the sky. I was then Uving in an outlying section of the city. I had been absent for three weeks, and as I saw emoke against tho sky, I said to my wife "I shouldn't wonder if that was the Tabernacle," at the same time it was in pleasantry and not in earnest. As we came on nearer where the church stood, I eaid auite seriously I euouldu't wonder if it is the Tabernacle." When I came within a few blocks and I saw a good many people in distress running across tho street, I Bald "It is the Tabernacle and when we Btood together In the front of the burning house of God, it was an awfuUy Bad time. We stood together through aU the crisis of suffering and we must needs buUd a church in the vory hardest of the times.

To put up a structure in those dayB, and bo large a structure and so firm a structure as this, was a vory great demand upou our energies. That fact Bomo people have forgotten. The fact that we had to make that Btruggle in the very hardest of the financial times was the reason of aU the financial struggles we have had eince; but we stood together Bnd wo came through that fire, I think better prepared for Christian work and more appreciative of each other's love. There have been times of dooper solemnity in my history when we stood together. I refer to days of BicknesB in my household.

I think now of twice in the history of my home here in Brooklyn whore it seemed as if one must die and I remember on those SabbathB when I was tarrying at home that you prayed for mo and for mine, and it seemed almost miraculoua that health should havo been restored, and I have always thought it was through tho prayers of this people that God averted the calamity. Now we are one. I don't beliove there is on earth a church more thoroughly united than this. Loud applause. We mean to be ono all the way through.

AppIauBe. This is our homo. This the place whero our souls aro to be prepared for heaven. This Is the place where we aro going to raise our children for usefulness. Whon wo die we want to leave our children at these altars to take our places and do the work of Christ a great deal better wo have done it.

There is no need that I linger in remarks expressive of my thanks for this boautiful offering. I shall take it homo and I wiU hang it up in a conspicuous place, aud I will often look at it, and I wiU bos through these letters the shining ana sympatnouc races or au my congregation; so that it wiU be a matter of gret jSyto me aU my days, I am sure, and then i wiu go djjwfl in tbe family as a story weU told of, hjjs'' thj people of the Brooklyn Tabernacle toji cftre if me. Applause. Mr. Corwin, who Jjad gi6a seat in the audience, then eaidj Morgan has ft word to say, aud after that I think Mr, Hall win oo in oraer.

"Come on," replied Mr. Talmage. Mr Morgan played tho "HaUelujah Chorus" in hla inimitable style, and at the conclusion the dominie laugh ingly eaid "Anybody who wants to make a speech can make it reporters and all." Laughter, REMARKS OF MB. HALL. Mr.

Hall I had no intention of saying anything tonight, I thought I would let the work apeak for itself. Some persons no) believe In Insplrajton. I believe that that work thore (pointing to the teitimomal) was Inspired by God. I take no credit to myself at all for doing it. Tho words on that picture were given to me at a moment of prayer, and at that time I felt as though 6ur faator needed encouragement.

It Boomed aa if all the powora of darkfie'as Were wagifig war igainst thla onurcn ana its pastor, ana i ten tnat at tuiH iuuu, wwio he waa living, we should give him encouragement and rive him happiness and joy. and not wait uaUj afto fie was dead and gone and then eulogize aim, but do it now, waen ho was living. lAaaresaiug Mr. iai mage.J Aly dear Blr, It was through your ministry I was brought Into the kingdom of yL Jt has been my purpose through life to stand up for Christ and to stand up for the Lord Jesus In all work, and Btand by you, air, and help you through in your work in so doing, and whilo I have life and health and strength, I hope I shall never be lacking in my duty. 5i? FAf HER PIERS0N.

Father' Pieraon 1 think that is good testimony of Brother Hah, and I wish we might all be able just to shake hands with it. As a great many people have not had an opportunity of putting their names to thla testimonial, I hope that time may be extended In order that thoy may do it. I hope our pastor will take encouragement by this testimonial to go forward in the path of duty working for the master, and so preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to us all, that every one that hears him may bo brought into the kingdom of Christ, When our work is finished, may we, pastor and people, be gathered around our Father's throne in Heavon, there to join In tinging the Hallelujah chorus of tho redeemed. The congregation united in singing, and at the closa Mr. Talmage pronounced the benediction.

Very many came forward to examine the testimonial and to personally congratulate Mr. Talmage, and assure him of their friendship and esteem. There were many happy people In the throng, but the dominie seemed to be the happiest of all. A NICE RELATIVE.
