FOR THU CENTENNIAL. Republicans Wroth Over the Speabcr'a Committees. Special to tlie Eagle. Wasm voton D. December 21.

Tho Lone Island members of Congress have received a great variety of treatmon at the hands of Speaker Reed in making up the committees. Mr. Magner is probably satisfied with his place on Revision of the Laws. It is as important a place as tho youngest man in the House, a new member and one of the minority could expect. Clancy is less conspicuously placed whoro he will deyoto himself to tho irrigation of arid lauds.

Mr. Covert has obtained two excellent placos on Banking and Currency and on Emmigration and Naturalization. Each of these committees will have important bills to consider this session. Felix Campboll has fared badly, comparod with the others who aro all new men. Ho will serve on Commerce and on tho District of Columbia.

He can, of course, be useful to this locality in tho latter placo, but the Committee on Commoroe is very insignificant for a mau who has been in Congress as long as Mr. Campbell. It is, however, understood that he has had his own choice in the matter and that ho did not want to remain ou busy committees, which would necessitate his frequent presence here. Mr. Wallaoo has three places.

The most important that of Naval Affairs, will probably bring him much more before tho public than any other position he could have taken. It has always been anticipated by the Eaole that he would go on that committee, and that he would use his membership to advance the Wallabout Market bill, of which he will bo representative in the Houso. Sir. Wallace is also on Railways and Canals, where ho will probably have nothing to do, and on Irrigation of Arid Lands, where, with Mr. Clancy, ho will help Colonel Dick Hinton reclaim tho Western dcaertB.

The Reed committees will give nothing like the satisfaction to tho members of either party that the Carlisle assignments did. In fact, the Republicans are not as pleased with Reed's disposition of them as they were with the way Carlisle treated them. Many of his own party are disgusted with Reed to night. Immediately on the announcement of tho committee Cheadle, of Indiana, rose and refused to serve on tho Com nntteo on Claims, his only recognition. Ho will, therefore, havo to do no committeo work this year.

Keed humbled him for bolting1 the caucus nomination for chaplain a bolt which resulted iu the reelection of tho blind preacher, Milbiirn. The New York State men are pretty well satisfied with six chairmanships and fifty five assignments. But tho whole West, from Pennsylvania to the Pacific, is howling mad. TROUBLE IN OKLAHOMA. Local Political Factious Threaten Klooily Work.

Kansas City, December 21. A dispatch from Oklahoma City, I. says "The cause of the apprehended riot which was feared last night was the renewal of the old trouble between the Seminole and Kickapoo factions. Two conucilmen recently removed from the Second Ward and an election was set for December 30 to fill the vacancies. That served to stir up tho old feeling between tho Seminoles and Kickapoos, and the latter havo been indulging in threats to lynch some of the Seminole leaders and burn the building occupied by tho Omctle, tho organ of the Seminole party.

The mayor belongs to the Kickapoo faction and tho Seminoles, who are in tho majority in the council, will not let him appoint policemen. The Seminoles want to hold tho election and the Kickapoos oppose it, because it will increaso the Seminole majority in tho council. United States Marshal Walker ap prehonds trouble but not before olection. A dispatch was sent to Topeka last night asking Governor Humphrey to request General Merritt to hold troops in readiness to come here." KXPL0SI0.1 IN A nVXAJflTG Toms Rivku, N. December 21.

Iter. J. TV. Cliadwick tlie Recipient of Some Handsome Oklit, When the sun rose yesterday morning and with its grateful light and warmth dispelled the fog that had made traveling dangerous all the pre. ceding night, it shone upon the twenty fifth an niversary of the day ou which Rev.

John Whito, Chadwick accepted a call to become minister of the Second Unitarian Society of Brooklyn. Un December 21, 1864, John Whito Chadwick was ordained as minister and installed to office by tho society. Last evening, December 21, 1881), he celebrated the memory of that auspicious occasion by throwing open his residence at 020 Carlton aveune, and receiving tho congratulations of the host of friends he has made by his twenty five years of faithful service. He waa assisted to welcome the guests by Mrs. Chadwick.

The couple atood between the windows in the front room and for two hours from shortly after 8 o'clock they were kept busy shaking hands with those who thronged to the house to offer their felicitations At 10 o'clock supper was served and after supper, with many kindly wishes that tho end of another quarter of a century would find Mr. Chadwick still at the head of the Second Unitarian Churca and Society, the guests dispersed, leaving their host to prepare for tho arduous duties of tho Sab bath. The two rooms used for the reception were made more than usually bright and pleasant by many brilliant bouquets, and in the rear room of I he parlor floor, on a table ocenpjing the apaco between tiie windows, was a handsome case of old gold colored plush containing a niagnificont set of silver ware and a double cased gold watch, Each article of the silver ware bore the inscrip tion: 1864. J. W.

C. 1880. and on tho inside of the watch was engraved "John White Chadwick, from the Second Unitarian Society of Brooklyn, N. at the completion of ttventy five years of ministry." Tho gifts ar rived late in the afternoon and before any of tho guests. The subscriptions by which they had been paid for had been collected so secretly that neither Mr.

Chadwick nor his wife had tho slightest idea that any such thing was contemplated. Their surprise was onlv equaled by their pleasure. The reception was an informal and onloya. bio affair from first to last. This morning Mr.

Chadwick will preach an anniversary sermon at his church, on Clinton street, corner of Congress, and tho Rev. Samuel Longfellow will address the congregation. At the ovou ing service, in which the Rov. S. H.

Camp and the Rev. H. Price Collier will take part, the Rov. Robert Collyer will preach the same sermon that he preached twenty five years ago, on the occasion of Mr. Chadwick's ordination.

Rev. Theodore C. Williams will also make an address. WHERE THE COLD WAVES START. Some Facts About the Weatber Sharp'M PromiMCtl Freeze Up.

This semi tropical December weather has prom iso of an arctic twist before the month ends. A cold wave is promised. The cold waves that traverse this country find their breeding place in AlasKa and British America. They develop very rapidly, without regard to tho hour of day or night, and generally follow or sneceod an area of low barometer. Sometimes they tmter tho United States from the north by way of Montana or Min nesota and move across the country from west to cast.

Again they travel directly south to tho Gulf of Mexico before any eastward movement is perceptible. In such cases there is invariably a depression of considerable magnitude in the Gulf States which causes tlie indraft of cold air. Such waves, generally called northers in Texas, are of one or two days' duration but very severe. As the barometric depression passes northeast the cold becomes considerably modified beforo reaching tho Atlantic coast, but the temperature often remains low enough to cause killing frosts in Florida. The storms that originate in tho northwest and pass to the lower lakes aud thenco to the St.

Lawrence valley, as is the general rule, are followed by the cold waves that aro most severely felt on the middle Atlantic coaBt, except in such a case as the March blizzard of 1888, where tho storm center passes to tho eastward of our city, when the wave is most severe and of lotigor duration. The absence of extremo cold weather this season is due to the fact that nine tenths of the storms have originated in tho southwest, passing to northwest aud entering Canada moro to the westward than usual, drawing the cold waves over Canada, the upper portion of the lakes and New England, and the increased rapidity with which the storms have traveled has prevented, or in other words lias not allowed the necessary time for the cold wave to reach this section, but has traveled over the path taken by tho storm. The most decided and sevore cold waves follow the most sovero storms, and their average time from Montana to tho Atlantic coast is twenty eight hours. In this part of the country the extreme cold weather does not last longer than one or two days and very rarely longer than three. The following servo to show the dates of tho most severe cold waves hereabouts as well as the lowest temperatures recorded by the signal service during the past eighteen years: Jauuary 10, 187o, degrees below zero: February 24.

4 degrees below zero; March 5, 1872, 3 degrees above; November :10, 7 degrees above; December til, JS80, 0 degrees below zero. On three days only did tho thermometer register below zero. The lowest for 1888 occurred January 22, 1 :9 above zero; 1889, February 24, 2 degrees above, and the lowest this Winter 13 degrees above. "THE BANKER'S DAUGHTER." It is Presented Witli lUucli Success by tbc Melpomene Amutcurw. The Melpomene gave the second performance of its eighth season in the Criterion Theater last evening.

There was a large and fashionable, as well as interested, audience present, which was well repaid for its attendance by a clever presentation of the six act drama, "Tho Banker's Daughter." It was a somewhat weighty undertaking, but tlie cleverness and ability with which it was handled spoke wolf for the Melpomene and its talent. The success of the performance was clearly demonstrated by the unrestrained applause of tho audience at any tine point in the plaj', which periods occurred very often. Added to this was the uncontrollable laughter at the bluntness of Ernest S. Jacobseu as Mr. Babbage and the vivacity of the Florence St.

Vincent Brown of Libby Healy. Elia Griffith Greeuo, in her character of Liliian, the banker's daughter, took the audience by storm. Even tho occupants of thu boxes, who included the officers of the society and othor prominent amateurs of this city, wore unstinted in their applause. Owing to his illness, Mr. Thomas Nelson was unable to appear as Mr.

Montvillais, but the role was ably assumed by S. G. Frost, who also directed the play. Mr. George D.

Hopkins' stago management was creditable, as it is owing to his ability that there were no delays a state of things so peculiar to amateur performances between the acts, and no hitches in the movement of the scenery. Everything moved with almost clock work precision and showed much study aud animation. Beside the parts already mentioned, that of Mrs. Fanny Halcomb, Lillian's aunt, was assumed by Harriet Lawson: Lisotte, Bianca Rahmer; Natalie, little Lottie Woodruff: John Strebclow, John T. Breuiiaii; G.

Washington Phipps, Virgil Lonez; Count dc Carojac, James Van Dyk; Harold Routledge, Frank J. Oliver; Lawrenco West brook, H. H. Gardner; Mr. Brown, William M.

Campbell: Dr. Watson, J. E. Quinn; Jorrold, Henry Gannon. The membership of the Melpomeno has been largely increased during the Summer, and tho limit is almost complete.

Tho talent has also been considerably augmented and tho society is good working order. FELL FORTY FEET.

He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital.

riWUIU '1111'. liU FIFTH CUT PAT IK T8S Mr. Denton's Remarkable Experience With His Son in Law. He Is Felled to the Sidewalk While Peacefully Wending His Way Through a Public Street. Property Differences Said to be the Cause.

An occurrence which promises further interesting developments took place on Friday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock, the effects of which are severely felt by one of the parties concerned, and the cause of which is extremely likely to bo hoard of in a police court in the very near future. Mr. C. C. Denton, of 1,190 Fulton street, whilo passing Arlington place on that thoroughfare received a thump on the back of his head, which brought him to the sidewalk iu short order.

Staggoring to his feet Mr. Denton turned in time to see a vanishing pair of coat tails rapidly dissolving into thin air up tho street, in the owner of which ho recognized Mr. C. Delano Potter. There is nothing so very extraordinary iu such an event, for the work of the sandbagger has become a thing of almost daily occurrence, but the interesting part of tho story devolvos npon the fact that Mr.

Potter is a son in law of Mr. Denton, aud the sounding thump was the outcome of a feud of long standing, and has heretofore led to many family troubles. Mr. Denton is a retired butcher and is said to be in very comfortable circumstances, and the origin of tho trouble is supposed to date back to tho division of some property which Mr. Potter claimed a share in but failed to obtain.

Mr. Denton, when seen at his home and questioned in regard to the affair, said "Yes, I got a pretty good whack right here in tho back of the head. I will admit that much, but I do not intend to say anything further. It was a cowardly piece of work to come up and strike mo in that way and you may be very sure that Mr. Potter will have to suffer for it." "Will you tell me what provocation Mr.

Potter had for such an action?" Mr. Denton was asked. "No, sir! I do not care to mako any tight through the newspapers. Tho whole thing will come out in duo time and in tho proper way, and then you fellows will have something to write about, you may rest assured." "When do you propose to have your assailant arrested 1" "I shall procure a warrant early Monday morning, and would have dono so yesterday, but did not have tho time. I am going to press this matter to the bitter end, and I will make it very warm for this fellow." Further argument proved of no avail toward getting any further facts from Mr.

Denton, as ho positively refused to say anything more. A long, though fruitless effort, was made to find Mr. C. Delano Potter. TO ORGANIZE A NEW DEPARTMENT.

Purpose of X.at Iireiiinff' ITIeeliiijr iu the Brooklyn Iimtitulc. A small but very enthusiastic gathering, mostly of college profcBsors and scientific men, gathered in Hie directors' room oi the Brooklyn Institute last evening in response to a call sent out for a meeting to determine tho scope and purposo of the proposed department of philology to be formed in connection witli the institute; to adopt a form of organization or constitution, to prepare a call for a larger meeting, to organize the department and to make preparations for such a meeting and the inauguration of the work of the department. The Rov. Dr. Charles H.

Hall was elected president of tho meeting and Dr. Daniel K. Dodge attended to tho record. At tho opening of business Professor Franklin "7. Hooper read letterB of regret and well wishing for the success of the new department from Dr.

B. F. O'Connor, Professor William A. Cowpor, Dr. Honry M.

Baird and Dr. James Cruikshank. Professor Hooper then said: Mr. President and Gentlemen It seems to me that within a comparatively short time thero has been a very large awakening in educational matters in New i'ork and Brooklyn. It began at the Packer Institute, which was forced to add a large wing to its building; the Pratt lustitute followed next: the Adelphi Academy increased its capacity by a large wing which nearly doubled its capacity; the Polytechnic is to break ground in the Spring for extensive additions, and our public, schools have also been stimulated to a remarkable extent.

I thought, from indications in this line three years ago, that there would be laid the foundation for a university iu Brooklyn beforo there would bo one iu Xew York. But New York has stolen from us one of the principal men iu a university movement, and New York is now in the lead. There has been a nreat quickening in study, which has been due a great deal to tho election of Set.h Low. Now, while wo have much coalition iu intellectual life in Brooklyn and Now York we are and must be growing substance on our own soil, and we hope that this new movement will be the foundation of a great deal of instruction of the public here in Brooklyn. I wish also to call your attention to the circular signed by General Woodward, wnicn most, not an, or you received with the call for this meeting, detailing the field and work of tho new department.

Tho circular was not written by General Woodward, but by myself, and his name allixed, as is usual in such cases. It is somewhat crude, but I can onlv otter as an explanation of its failings that it was writ ten tun day alter cue nre at me Aiieipni Academy. I had been up all night at tlie lire and was consequently more fitted for sleep than work on the following day. In closing my remarks, Mr. President.

1 would suffcrcst that each person be re quested in turn to express his views regarding this department matter and then we can arrive at a proper unueistanuiuy ui wnai, uuut to ue done. Dr. Hall then called upon each person present in turn, and some very interesting remarks con cerning what the department ought to be, tho Bcope of its labor, and the methods of obtainiug the best results from its work were elicited from Professor Charles Spraguo Smith, professor of modern languages in Columbia College: Professor Hjalmar H. Boyesen, professor of tho German language in Columbia College: Superintendent of Public Instruction William H. Maxwell; Professor William 15.

Kidi uoux aud Mr. Daniel K. Dodge. After thus getting the sense of the meeting in single views Dr. Hall put the all important question: "Gentlemen, you have each given your views and heard those ot the others.

Shall we go on with the work?" There was a unanimous re response iu the aflimative, and, after a few more valuable suggestions from Professor Boyesen and Frofcssnr Hooper regarding the future work of the department, the following committee was elected to draw up a constitution and bylaws and arrange the details of a large public gathering tho near future; Professor Hjalmar H. Boyesen, Mr. Charles Sprague Smith, Mr. William H. Max well and Mr.

Caskie Harrison. The meeting then adjourned, but instead of breaking up, tho profes sors lit cigars, despite the rules of the institute to the contrary, and held a lengthy informal discussion relativo to the welfare of the new department. ORGANIZING A NEW UNION. The Outcome of a Kcccut Presentation (O William II. Lcaycraft.

The outcome of the recent presentation of a crayon portrait of himself to Port Warden Will iam H. Leaycraft was the organization of the Thirteenth Ward Republican Union, on Thursday evening. It originated from the gentlemen who composed the party.

Michaol Donovan, for over forty years a resi dent of the Eastern District, died last night at the family residence, corner of South Second and Berry streets, aged 03 years. He was the father of ex Supervisor J. S.

Donovan and was prominently identified with tho Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum during recent years. ADAH KICHMOXD AT I.ATT. Howe Hummel, of New York, on behalf of Adah Richmond, the comic opera star, havo be irim suit in the Supreme Court against William J. Gilmore, proprietor of tho Central Theater, Philadelphia, to recover oight wceKs' salary, which she claims is duo hor for her services as leadi ng lady of the "Twelve Temptations" A Unique Innovation in St. Peter's Church.

The Feminine Choir Will be Robed Like the Hale Portion Something New Under Contemplation. The Christmas service at St. Peter's P. E. Church, on State street, near Bond, of which the Rev.

Lindsay Parker is rector, will bo of a decidedly novel and interesting character. It will be rendered, in part, by the first regularly organized choir of women iu vestments introduced in this country. The ladieB in question now compose tho auxiliary choir of the church. They were seated in the chancel with the men and boy.i of the large surpliced choir, attired in cottas similar to those worn by their brother choristers, with a head dress of black alpaca, patterned after a bishop's cap or baretta, on the evening of All Saints' day last, on which occasion tho plan worked to such perfection and the venture generally met with such approval that steps were at once taken by tho choirs and their organist and leader to have it made permanent. With this end in view a petition and letter wero prepared and submitted through the rector to tho vestry of the church at last night's meeting, of which the following is a copy To the.

Rev. Lindsay Parker: Dkau Sat Tu order to stimulate tho interests of the choir, and more especially the female portion of it, in the services of St. Peter's, in which we hold a deep and profound interest, we, the undersigned, respectfully request, as wo feel it outright and privilege, while rendering valuable and voluntary support to these services, that the temporary arrangements adopted on All Saints' night tlie introduction into the chancel of the church in vesiments of the ladies who now eomoosc the auxiliary choir be made permanent. For obvious reasons this change is most desirable. The ladies who render material assistance to the men aud boys have long been dissatialied witli their present position, where they feel that they cannot do Justice to themselves or the service and are accordingly little more than figureheads.

Their seats are below the grade of the chancel stalls and are out off from tho organ and the boys by tho vestry aisle and the two rows of bassos. All this, as you and tho members and other attendants of the church must have frequently ob sarved, tends to seriously mar the effect of the music and to occasion uncvouness and discord which, under the existing cii cnmstmces, cannot well lir The result of the change in the seating of the ladies on the evening of All Saints' day, which plan was also introduced on Good Friday night last, when the passion service was successfully rendered in tho church, has proven beyond question that it was a change for the better and that tlie music can be vastly improved. It is tho only arrangement that will admit of the perfect bleucl ing of the female voice with that of the men and boys an object which it seems most desirable to attain. The plan which has been introduced with wonderful effect, as above mentioned, and which has elicited general and hearty approval, lias been adopted with marked success in England and Australia and certainly should merit liberal indorsement in this country, where robed choristers, as bcoiiib most fitting in the Episcopal church, are fast supplanting the commonplace and illy attired soloists and chorus. As above intimated; we give our services freely and gladly in the interests of the church ami feel that you will at once coincide with our views herein expressed.

We therefore ask that you submit this mu tter to the members of the vestry for their earnest consideration at your earliest convenience. A note from our organist and choirmaster herewith inclosed will give you his views on the subject in question aud will perhaps explain more fully the advantages of such a move as that proposed and tho benefits which must accrue to tho church therefrom.

Ida Cordes, Mrs. Rice, Millie L. Janton, Ladies' Auxiliary. Dkar Mn. PAitKua The choir have shown me the petition they wero to send you and the vestry, asking that the ladies may be seated in the chancel with the choir.

As you know, I am heartily in favor of this move. Experience has shown mo that, seated at ono side as at present, tberiadietuuilJ ot' no real servico except in tho pro. In to deinn and anthem they do more harm than good, as it is impossible for them to keep time with the. other soprano or alto voices, and half the time they do not attempt anything but the chants and hymns. While musical critics disagree on almost every point, they all acknowledge that the blending of women's voices with those of men and boys produces a quality of tone far superior to that of men anil boys alone, as women's voices are full and Btrong just where tlie boy is weakest.

We have fully experienced the advantage of the combination, and most certainly tho women should be seated whore they can do the most good. As to vestments, it seems to me that all the objection should be against their not being used, for it is most desirable to avoid such contrasts of color and style as we should otherwise have. The chancel can easily he arranged to seat a dozen ladies, and at celebration, if they commune first and quietly leave the chancel, taking their old scats, or mingling with the congregation after taiiing oil' their robes the comfort of the other communicants cannot be. interfered with, and the greater part of the music will have been rendered. Another item of importance is that, your appro priation for music is much smaller than that of any church that pretends to keep up such a choir as we do, aud the increasing difficulty of getting good boy voices, which all the choirs are experiencing, can best be met and ai the least cost by continuing the use of the female voices.

Put thorn where they ought to he, and we will improve tho music so per cent. Yours truly, W. S. Rhodes, Organist, and Choirmaster. Action in the matter was deferred until after Christmas.

Pending the action of the vestry it had been decided by the rector that the new arrangement should be adopted on all festival occasions and, in accordance witli tins decision, the ladies have been hard at work during the past few days making the vestments to bo worn by them on Wednesday morning next. They consist of a loose lilting gown of finu white niUBlin, patterned somewhat after the new style ulsters, and reaching just below the knee. Tho back is shirred, hile a rolling collar leaves exposed a shaped portion of the black dress, over which the garment is worn. Tho ulcevcs of the gown are what are known as angel sleeves, ami with it is worn (lie biacl; alpaca cap above mentioned. The ladies, whose names arc affixed to the above petition, will file into the chancel from a side entrance while the men and boys singing tlie processional hymn enter the church from the vestry rooms by the main door.

The same ride will be observed in the recessional. The scheme, which originated in Australia, and which has now been successfully introduced at many of the provincial English churches, is already being considered by some of the uptown churches in New York, the Cltnreliman being authority for the statement that a modification of it has recently been in force in Harlem. GREEN'S SPREE PROVED COSTLY. Ilia Miilureu Taken Cuarpe oi by the Auiltori, icN. Peter Green, a r.aloon keeper corner of North Third street and Bedford avenue, was arraigned in Justice Goetting'a court yesterday afternoon on a charge of abandoning two of his children.

Tho two youngest wero left alone and were eared for by the neighbors. Counselor Davis, who appeared for the prisoner, stated that there was no intention on the part of his client to abandon his children and that his absence from home had been due to a spree he had been on.

Winter Rncinsr Littlfi Less Than a Gambling Game Any AVay The Horses Abused to Make Haney for Their Owners. Yesterday waR the thirty ninth (lav of raein on the Dwyers' New Jersey track, and the last of the year. When the legitimate raciiiK season in this Htate closed last Fall the Divyern bosun racing on their new trael; and announced that they wonM run bnt iiftn Mi licciutKC (if aoiuo trouble hart with tha CriU toiibers and Clifton raeilif; aociations tin; Dwycru eoueliulcil to liavo a neemul nier.tius. and as they have hecn running their horses and raciny in all sorts of weather dnrinjj tlie last few weeks.

Their thoroughbreds, on whom thousands of dollars were watered durins the legitimate raeimi sea boii, have lieeti forced to ealloo day after day over a trael; deep in nind, when the rain wan descendine; in torrents, and aaain in midst of lilindine: snow storms. On Wednesday and Friday last, when the fog was so think over thu that the starter and contending horses conid not be seen I'roiii the urand stand, there was no postponement of the parody on racier. Jievor before in the history id any trael; was conducted under snob conditions which pre vailed at the JUi.abeth race cmirse. For instance, Friday last, one race was run while bookmakers were Ktiil offering odds. The winmiur horse came under the wire before tin: judaea knew that the starter had dropped his As a matter of course, racing under such jravc the jockeys iinlimited opportunities to commit fraud.

They cuiild have pulled their horses to a standstill without Ileitis' discovered, so dense was the foK. That no Kerious accidents happened to riders and horses is accounted or by some bet men by the theory that the crooked jockey were not horn to have their necks broken on the race track. Thorn was raciiiK on the New Jersey Joekey Club course, wheu the grounds and tra were inches deep in snow while spectators were snowballing each other and others still were nhivoriu around the stoves in the betting rincr. No thins worse in the liorseracine: line was evsr witnessed at Clutten bera, and yet hist year hUh toned turfmen were licelarins that Winter racing in New Jersey was most disgraceful and calculated to brine racing into disrepute. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals tried to put an end to rac inu at Gitttenburs and the managers of the course were criticized in the severest, terms by the leading papers of the country for making money out of what was generally termed "brutal (sport." Nevertheless.

Winter racing scema to have conic to stay. It is said that the Dwyers have made money out. of their new track, ami that next Winter three raeins associations will race on alternate days iliroiisli the months of November, December, January, February and Jhrclt During the last mi dins, termed the "December meeting." the Dwyers won nineteen races with their horses and ran second in fourteen. the 111,111 eunil meeting of the New Jersey Jockey Club, a veteran Milium said to a representative of the E.uh.k: "The Dwyers made money, oven if the attendance was light on stormy days. They frequently won two races daily and Miko Dwyer invariably backed his horses heavily.

Each of the book tniikers gave tip $7." to the Dwyeru daily for the privilege of making books. The men who leased the bar and restaurant privileges contributed There are U10 pool rooms in the country who give up J(( for the privilege of receiving dispatches from the track; that means a daily fund of SHOO, and. of course, the track got a pood slice of this money. Horses are not raced tor sport now: the Winter tracks are run solely for the purpose of making money, and it was Bololy for the purpose of mldins to their wealth that the Dwyers opened the gates of their new track and raced their thoroughbreds through mud and slush. Thev have as much right to make money this way as tho managers of Clifton and the lint." A few days ago Do Long, a veteran of the turf, said to the writer.

"This Winter racing is go.id for breeders; it uses horses mighty fast and makes room for new ones. A horse that races all Winter is not of much account when the Spring and Summer racing comes." may be lhat the Dwyers up to yesterday had more horses than they cared to lool; after, and again it may be thai they entertain the opinion advanced by Ue Long. At alt events they sold Hcveral of their horses who have received what a year ago was called hnrtl usage. The horses that they sold were mainly those; that have been racing this Winter. The surprising feature of the Bale is the fact that these hard worked horsei brought in the aggregate f.i:i,!).VJ.

It is not likely that the best of these horses, which have, been racing since last Spring, wiU be Riven the rest, they so soreiy need. They will be forced to run during the remainder of the Winter on the Gutteuberg and Clifton tracks. There ie no sentiment attached to horse racing in New Jersey at thi season of the year. 'The track managers, bookmakers and racegoers are ali "out for the dust," to use a common expression. A bookmaker, in speaking of the situation, said to the K.mu.k man "The public think we have everything our own way, but that is a mistake.

We get it in the neck all around. The tracks charge us extortionate rates for betting privileges, and we are victimized by crooked horse owners and jockeys ipiitc as much as the public is. We bled by jockeys, trainers and owners. Even the man who furnishes us supplies gives it to us heavy. J.et me shou you how: We pay cents for blue pencils tin, cost 10 cents; we pay cents for every box of crayons furnished: about per weel; fur what does not cost more than cents.

For a piece of chamois used in wiping on: figures we pay cents. Ten cents wonid be a lair charge. Our printing costs twice as much as it can be furnished for. And now the counterfeiters have got to work on us. It was only a day or so ago that Wit eloek A' Harris paid on: on a butrus which could hardly be distinguished from the genuine one.

Every bookmaker is trying to get the better of the other, and the ones ho own horses are gottinc most of the money. lie cause they run their horses to win one day and the next day run them to lopp. 1 tell yon horse racine in Winter is a harder game to beat than fat bank, and the. man who sticks to that game always goes The proprietors of pool rooms in New York ami the large cities of the West and South are making a great deal of money despite tho fact that tin too are Med mainly by the police.

A meeting of the Committee on Plan and Scopo of the centennial anniversary of Washington's inauguration, to which tho chairmen of the various other committees were invited, was held in the Mayor's office. New York, yesterday. There were present Mayor Grant, James M. Varnum, Frederick S. Tallniadg.

Samuel D. Babcock, William Hamilton, Chairman of the Committee on States: CoionelS. V. R. Cruger, Chairman of the Army Committee: Stuyvesant Fish and W.

E. D. Stokes, of the Entertainment Committee; Drayton Ives and General Louis Fitzgerald, of the Financial Committee; and Henry G. Jlar quand, of the Art and Exhibition Committee. Reporters were excluded from the proceedings.

A lively tilt was had over the iiunuees, particularly in respect to the use of a balance of the Army Committee for the publication of a memorial volume. Stuyvesant Fish was opposed to the sanction of the Army Committee's action, and a resolution submitted by tho Finance Committee called upon the Army Committee to turn over its balances to the Finance Committee and directed that the total balance, which, with this sum, would reach or as rauchjof it as was necessary should be used for the publication of a memorial of all the work done by all the committees. On behalf of the Army Committee the committee was informed that the contracts for its individual memorial had been all made and some portion of the money had already been expended. Under the circumstance the committee passed a resolution sanctioning the retention of its balance by the Army Committee and despite Mr. Fish's emphatic protest.

There was no action taken on the Finance Committee's resolution. The meeting considered applications from the German organization and the merchants' for additional allowance to meet the expenses they had incurred. These and all other like requests were disallowed by the adoption of a general motion to that effect. Several requests for memorial medals from governors of various States wore snbmitted to Chairnia i Hamilton, of the Committee on States, with power, and Colonel James M. Varninn was delegated to prepare resolutions of thanks for presentation to the different organizations and bodies that participated in the celebration.

The final disposition of the balance of $4,741.09, as shown by the committee's report, which was adopted, was not made, so that another meeting for that purposo will bo held. SOUTH BROOKLYN HOWLERS. Animal Tournament for a. oIU Medal. The Sluuiiltoii lite Winner.

The animal ten pin bowling tournament between the four South Brooklyn howling clubs, that roll on tho alleys at 108 Hamilton avenue, was held on Friday night at that place. Tho conditions of the tournament wero that each club team of threu men should roll three games of ten frames each and the team making tho highest aggregate score be declared tho winner of a handsomo gold medal given by Mr. G. Puchs. The competing clubs wero the Hamilton, Columbia Bowling Clnb, Twelfth Ward Bowling Club and Ileinecke Bowling Club.

The Hamlltons started the ball rolling and in tho first gamo made A. Frick's 180 being the best score. The Columbia came next, with 495, W. Palmer's 180 being the lfest. The Twelfth Ward Club came next, with 400, and tho Roinecko followed with 4 15.

Those scores were the best in the throe, games rolled by the teams. At the close tho total team scores showed that the Hamiltons wero the winners, with a score of Columbia next, with 1.340: Roineckes third, with 1.108, and the Twelfth Ward last, with 1,105. The Remedies, who had previously won the medal for four consecutivo years, were much chagrined at being placed third. A.

It will bo visible, however, in but three places in the United States at the extremity of Cape Hatteras, in the Lake Worth region and upon the Keys of Southern Florida.

The signs and portents are such, says Mr. Van Dorn, that startling consequences arc liable to ensue. Greece, for instance, will have reason to fear the death ot its king: also an earthquake, accompanied by loss of life aud property. There have been four eclipses this year before the one ot to day. There was a total eclipse of the sun January 1, visible throughout a largo part of tho Uuited States; a partial eclipse of the moon January 10 17, visible generally: an annular eclinse of the sun Juno 'JH, invisible in North America, and a partial eclipse of tho moon July invisible in thu United States.
