o'clock to-morrow mornlnr. and a large crowd
It expected to see the contest. Opinions a to
the outcome are about equally divided, although
the niol expert Judges who have teen both

ehamp!on did not fare Terr well, however,

eess to-morrow, but Wrenn and Chace never
play at hard In practice at In a match, and they
can be counted upon to put up a ttrong defence
to-morrow. They will probably retort almoet
entirely to lobbing, at this la the play that won
tht ehamplomhlp for them latt year, and
that It meit likely to be tueee-tful agalntt

Ths Nw Haven Yacht Club held Its fifteenth
annual regatta yesterday on Long Island Sound,
and, while thern wero not great list of entries
or a large fleet of starters, the race was a success
In everyway: for not only wat there a glorious
breeze from tbe northwest, bnt the raoe wat
sailed In record-breaking time, thanks to the
wonderfnl epecd displayed by F. M. Han
dall's new cabin cat Beat, which distanced
her competitors and beat the entire fleet
of Elui City boats over the course.
The club's efficient Kegatta Committee, on the
club steamer Victor, assisted by Jamet II.
Parish's pretty Ilttlo steam yacht Ceres, con
tributed not a little toward the tuccest of the
regatta, and at the conclusion or the raoe Fleet

and at 11:U0 the racer were tent away to a
beautiful start. The course was from the black

distance of ten miles and return, (or .he larger

la Etckt Hoaaela.
The Windsor Theatre was crowded last
night, the occasion being tbe first boxing show
of the AJax A. C. The prlnolpal attraction was
the Bernstein-Kelly bout. "Brooklyn" Jimmy
Carroll wa referee. The final "go" wa (op
posed to be an eight-round affair between Al
O'Brien of Philadelphia and Jim Holme of
this city. The police refused to allow the men
to fight and stopped them In the fifth round.
The decision was a draw.
The first bout wa of eight rounds between
Stanton Abbott of England and Kid McPart
land of this city. They cam together at 128
pounds, but Abbott appeared to weigh much
more. He appeared to be In poor shape and
weak. Both men began In a listless sort of
way. In tbe second round Abbott braced up,
but could not find Mcl'artland's face. He then
tried for the body, but found that McPartland's
guard waa there all the time. The latter did
most of tbe trading In the third round, but bis
advances were cleverly blocked, McPartland
sent bis left several times home In tbe stomach,
which seemed to put Abbott In distress. The
Kid shoved his left twice Into Abbott's face, bnt
tbe blows were only light ones. The English
man rushed matters In the fourth rouud. but
could not get out of nls own way In the fifth.
Abbott tried to swing In tbe sixth, but Mc
Partland punched blm bard on the jaw. After
this round the bout became Interesting. The
bore mixed It up somewhat In the last round.
llcPartland did the better work and received
the award. . ..
Jo Bernstein and Charley Kelly next put In
an appearance. They shaped It at impounds.
Tbe mill wus limited to eight round. Both
boyt were In fine ebape. The pair came to
gether with a ruth, and they punched with
right and left without cessation. Kelly had a
hade tbe better of the exchanges, but bis
blows were not delivered straight. Kelly
was after bis man In tbe second round
at the call of time, nnd managed
to gt his left home twice on the
mouth, bringing the blood. Bernstein made a
great rally In the third round and straightened
up his opponent nlth npiiercuts on the mnutb.
In the fourth Kelly crossed Joe twice and made
him groggy with a hard left un the Jaw. Bern
stein recovered quickly and was at his man like
a demon. The ladn Indulged In fast fighting
until the gong sounded.
Kelly smashed Joe In the stomach and on tbe
jaw in tho fifth, hut Joe kept rimrley off with
two stingers lii the mouth. Bernstein lad tho
advantage of the lighting at long range in the
sixth and Kelly had to report to infighting. The
latter, however, got home two beimtles Juetas
time whs called. Tbe seventh round was very
exciting, both boys doing n'od work. In the
last round Bernstein caught Kelly napplnlc and
sent him to thf floor with a rlglit-hniided jolt
on the Jaw, Kelly was up in an Instant, hut
Bernstein was ul him again. Fierce llghttnu
look ulac-H until the end. The decision w n
draw. Kelly told Tun hLt leporter after tho
bout that he ouly weighed 111 pounds.

1). J. Lynch. Torn Sharkey's manager, reaohed
this city yesterday afternoon from Chicago, He
came unaccompanied. Lynch li In this city In
the Interest of his protegi. and says that he ex
pects to remain East until the details of Bhar
key's approaching contest with Jim Corbett are
settled. Lynch, who Is stopping attheCSIIsey
House, was seen by A 8UN reporter last night.
He said:
" Bharkey Is at present In Mt. Clemens, Mich.,
and will not reach this city until Aug. 27. Ho
Is doing light work there and Is In tine shapo. I
have not tho slightest Idea where the mill will
come uff. but no matter where it takes place
Bharkey will be there. II has fought eleven
battles In less than a year, and would bo willing
toflghteleienmorelrit were possible. But his
contract with Corbett. of course, bars that.
" Sharkey will do nil bis training In the Last,
and will be looked after by Danny Nvedlmm and
myself, As to the report that hlmrkey is a fuul
lighter, I will say that such Is not the case. He
is a tough nustomer In tin- ring and very strong,
The Impression thai lie lights unfair probably
arises from tbe f.tct that In punhing his men
from him when embraced he uses great
""lltfor'e I If ft San Francisco tho National
Club of that city offered Jl!0,0t,0 for the mill.
We will tight where they give us the most
money. I liaen't had a talk with anyone as
yet regarding the locution of the battle ground,
but will seo Brady, Corbett' mauager. In a few
dnys. The second deposit of S.'.fiOU aside of

first Installment was deposited mi June ''. tvto

final money, 55,000 a tide, will be put up three
weeks boforo the battle."
Manager Brady snld In a 8l!N reporter yester
day that he would have a talk with Lynch some
time during tho current week. Perhaps a battle
ground will tben be decided upon, Sbarkey It
willing to fight at any plao convenient to Cor-bet.

Another attempt of the reform administra
tion to sell the city's bonds hat met with fail
ure. Bids for 83,433.0.13.11 worn opened yes.
terday, and although tht bon4s bear interest
at 3K per cent., payable In gold, tho offers
made were bo low that, after a wranglo between
Comptroller Filch and Gon. McCook, the
Sinking Fund Commission came to a detdlock
ovor their acceptance, which will result In a
roailverttaement of tho bonds, In the hope of
getting bettor prices. There was a larger
amount bid than was called for, but the ma
jority of tho offers wns for 81,260,001) bonds
for the support of the Insane and $110,000
water stock bonds, which are exompt from
taxation. Homo of the other bonds offered
wero not subsorlbed for nt all. Two of the
offers were below par. These were made by
Zleley & Co., and were respectively (JO per
cent, and 08.05. As the law prohibits the
salo of city bonds below par, these offers wore
not considered. At tho last successful eale
the bonds obtained 1 per cent, premium and
at tho previous sals more than 3 per cent.
Few of the bids were from well-known Wall
street firms, and the syndicates whloli used to
take all tho bonds the city offered whenever
they got tbe chance were conspicuous by their
absence from the bidding. Harvey Flsk &
6on offered to take the whole amount of the
bonds for the payment of State taxe for the
support of th Insane, amounting to f 1,260,
000, at 100.6117, while Arbuokle Bros,
bid for $600,000 at 100.2B. The remaining
bid, amounting to forty-six, came from sav

SOr lioo.ouu of auy other bouja exempt from taxation-
On discovering when the Sinking Fund Com
mission met in the morning that, while
there had h-en an oversubscription, the bids
were so low as to reflect op tbe credit of the
reform administration, (Jen. McCook suv-
Sested that thoy be laid over for ti day, while
10 CommlsMon conferred na to the advisa
bility or rejecting eoinj and waiting for a
better mono) market.
Comptmller Fitch said that the money
asked for wns needed tn pay contractors and
for the schools, which were soon to be ODeued.
Action was postponed until 2 o'clock. When
the Commission reassembled, it discovered
that of tbe $4.-iUI',H4-.' bid S3.8ti7.il.'4.-VJ
was for the bonus exempted from taxation,
of which but fl.'.'OO.UOO was to be sold,
while the water stock was over-subscribed to
the amount of S-'U.000. This .1 f t only $1,
Hdl,500 bid for, of which not more than S17,
000 could go to the schools.
Comptroller Fitch enld thut 8400,000 was
due for the Tnlrd avenue bridge ocr Hie
Harlem Itiver, which would be sued for If
nil paid at once 11 ml six per cent, added to
the amount. The same was true of the
amoun". owed for cchnoi "epalrs. The Stato,
too, needed the money for the care of the
Insane.
Alderman Olcott wanted the school 11a
blllt.es P-lil. but thought the State could wait.
Gen. -McCook, who lias m.t forgiven Comp
troller Fitch for writing that tetter denouncing
the Importers' and Tradt-ra' Bunk, tuck tbe op
portunity to make personal remarks in the con
troversy which ensued, and which resulted In
the rejection of the bids. He said at starting
that tint bids were bo low as to be rldijuloua,
and that he was confident better prices could be
?:nt. He was opposed to accepting any but A
ew of tho highest.
Alderman Olcott thought that the contrac
ts n und schools liabilities should at least be
provided for.
Comptroller Fitch said that Harvey Flsk A
Son bod announced that they would withdraw
their ai.-'OO.OUO If not at once accepted.
Ueu. McCook declared In a lofty tone that a
threat like this should not be considered by the
Board and that only public Interests should be
taken Into consideration.
"The city has had Its work done because It
paid promptly," said .Mr. Fltrh. "If we devi
ate from this course as lien. McCook proposes,
the city would lose tell timet more than It
would gain by ruch a performance."
"1 object to tho Comptroller's referring to
the proceedings or this Board as to anything 1
do as a 'pertormante,' " suld (Jen. McCook.
"Next time 1 nddrebs you I will put my ideas
in writing," said Mr. Filch.
"Tnat remrk is In keeping with your per

"Don't you think ou're u little off tbe

HAUtLTOM. Mass., Ang. 17. "Osll Hamil
ton," M 1st Abigail Dodge, died At her home on
Main street At 0 o'clock this evening. Brio arose
Apparently quite well on Sunday morning, but
while eating breakfast was stricken with
paralysis, th shock being much more terloui
than tho one the experienced In Washington In
May, 1B03, from which the rallied After several
months.
Her phytlolan was Immediately summoned.
Ho found her unconscious, and she remained in
that condition to the time of her death.
Miss Dodge of late had been In good tplrlts,
and patsed considerable time In Ihe open air.
Slit had been quite talkative and took much
pleasure In discussing politics and other mat
ters. Mls Marr Abigail Dodge was horn In Ham
ilton, Mass., In the rear 1830. In her girl
hood day she was known In the pretty little
New Englanditown of Hamilton as Abby Dodge.
When she began writing for tho public alio se
lected for her nom de plume the latt syllablo of
her Christian name and tho name of her birth
place. Afterward she was hnownto tho Ameri
can publlo as "(Jail Hamilton." She was a
cousin of Mrs. James (. BUtiio, and through
that relationship she became familiar with tho
publlo and private llfo of Mr. Blaluo.
Miss Dodge spent tho past winter at her nld
home In Hamilton. Her health wat reasonably
good, to far as her frlendsln Washington knew.
She had been working very hard on the llfo of
James O. Blaine, whloh hai entirely occupied
her time since Mr. Blaine's death. In addition
to this sbe had never for a single day ceased her
efforts to secure the release of Mrs, Ma brick,
the American woman Imprisoned for life In
London for poisoning her husband, Shu wan the
flitt woman In America to engage In anything
like a systematlo effort to accomplish this
woman's release, and every day and every week
the worried about it.
Miss Dodge had a wonderfully Intellectual
countenanru. She was not is good-looking wo
man, for she had too much care and bard
work to preserve the features that compose
flood looks; but she was a clever woman, and
ooked like one. Her eyes were sharp and pene
trating, and, framed in pure white hair, ber
face possessed a remarkably impressive ex
pression. Her llfo wus one of constant
worx and worry. As far back as 1831.
when the was but SI years of age. the
was Instructor In tbe hig'i school In Hart
ford. Conn. She stayed there several years.
Thon she went to Washington as governess in
thu family of Dr. Gamaliel Bailey; and.
Dr. Bailey being an editor. It was the most
natural thing in the world that this Intellectual
governess should drift Into print, and sbe did.
Ihe paper was called thu .Vdllonol Era. and it
contained her earliest contributions. It wns
with her as It Is with all others once In print
she could never get out. From that day to this
she ha, written for the periodical or psrmnnent
Subllcatlons. In 18U.1 she went to Ho, ton and
ecHine ono of the editors of Our 1'oiini; '!...
a children's magazine. Ten years later she
went back to Washington to live, and, with oe
caslunnl Journey- hack and forth belwten
Washington and Hamilton, the capital has been
her home ever since.
Her published uorksconstst prlnclpallyof col
lections of ber fugitive writings. In luii'-i "Coun
try Living and Country Thinking" appealed,
and then from tltne tu time In rapid succe-dou
came "tlnla Days." "A New Atmosphere."
" Stumbling Blocks," "Sklrmlshe.-i nud
Sketches," "Bed Letter Days In Applethorpe,"
"Summer Best," "Wool llnthertug," "Wo
men's Wrongs, a Counter Irritant." "Battle
of the Books," " Woman's Worth nnd
Worthlessness," "Littlo Folk Llfo," "Child
World." "Twelve Miles From a Lemon,"
"Nursery Noonings," "bermons to the Clergy."
"First Lovu's Ilest," "What Think Vu of
Christ?" "Our Common School System." "Di
vine (tuidance: a Memorial of Allen W. Dodge," i
and "The Insupprrsnible Book." This Ian will
show what a worker she was. These books
were all written from lHU'J In 1883. After tho
lart book was printed she began to write for
tho dally press, rinding in the Now YorklWbune
an instrument for the dissemination of her
opinions on civil service reform.
One of Miss Dodge's moet successful books
was entitled " Wool Gathering." Itwae printed
Iwenlv-elRht years ago. Hnvlng been Induced
t" lnvel tome money 111 a sheep farm in ono of
the Western Mates, nnd having lost all her in
vestment through bad management or misrep
resentation or both, she made nn Investigation
of the wool business and wrote a book about tt.
That hook had an enormous circulation and at
tracted attention all over the country, it was
the first evidence of remarkable power, and
from that time forward everything from her
pen was eagerly read.
Miss Dodge's strong characteristics left tbetr
lmpre-s upon the career of James G. Blaine. It
Is one of the traditions of Washington that Mr.
Blaine always leaned heavily upon her Judg
ment. W-ben In doubt as to mattera political,
literary, or diplomatic. It was with her Hint he
wished to consult before any one else. Miss
Dodge's skill as a politician and ber Judgment
of men wero said to be remarkably kueu, and
with his wlfu and Miss Dodge as his advisers It
used to be a common saying that Mr. Dlalue had
a Cabinet which a President might envy.

The Rev. Montgomery Hunt Throop, rector of
St. Matthew's rroteatant Episcopal Chnroh In
Jersey City, who succeeded tho Iter. Albort
Nock about three years ago, has commenced
suit against the vestrymen for arrears of salary.
He alleges tbnt JoOS.IIG Is due him. Th papers
In tbeault have been served on W. F. Crocliernn,
treaturtr of tho vestry. The case will be on the
Supreme Court calendar for trial at tbe coming
September term. Mr. Throop has alto Inttl
tuted A suit Agalntt the church for SL'0,000 for
breach of contract.
St. Matthew's It one of ths oldest oburohtt tn
the city, and at ono time waa one of the
wealthiest. Recently, however, the neighbor,
hood In which It Is situated has become popu
lated with Poles, Hungarians, and Italians, and
the wealthy members of the church moved np
on ths hill. That circumstance, together with
ths several controversies In which Mr. Throop
and his congregation have been engaged, has
reduced the membership to a handful. There
were only fourteen members nt the tervlcot last
Sunday and ten nn the previous Sundny.
Mr. Throop said yesterday: "When I became
reotor of St. Matthew's Church 1 found that
there were thirty-two different creditors against
tbe parish and a variety of outstanding debts
ranging from 10 up. The ontlro amount ag
gregated about $3,000 over the mortgage In
debtedness. I assumed tho rectorship with the
agreement that I waa to be a preferred creditor.
The vestry fonnd that the other creditors were
Importunate, and the result Is that the others
bave been paid and the debt to me has been
getting larger. I have begun this suit simply
because I need tho monor. I have no III will
toward tho vestry. It has been under
stood for sometlmo by some of tho vestry that
I was to begin this suit. It wns done without
any spirit of animosity whatever. The. mem
bers of the vestry havo requested that I should
make the legal expellees tn the church as light
as possible, aud 1 havo Instructed my lawyer to
do so.
" The suit for 8S0.00O Is nn entirely different
thing. It Is a suit w'i. lob will come only before
the ecclesiastical court. The place In which St.
Matthew's Chnroh la located Is one from which
tho English-speaking people are rapidly moving
away. Moro than H8 families have moved
away durlnir my brief rectorship, and there is
only a handful of people left. The hnn.es of
thoe who move away are being filled by Poles,
Hungarians, Scandinavians, and a few Ger
mans. Those who do speak English are
either Jews or Roman Catholics. I regard
tbe maintaining of tbe church In that
locality as senseless, stupid, and sinful,
because It Is a wilful waste of ronse.
crated money. I desire to have the parish
moved, and If this Is not done ti have my con
nection with It severed. In making my applica
tion tn the ecclesiastical authority of thealocrsa
to bring aliotit that removal or separation 1 have
asked for damages of f'JO.000. This Is not he
fore it civil but nn ecclesiastical court. Illsex
Sressly specified on my apullrntlon for the $-.'0,-00
darangrs that It Is my Intention. If the
money Is awarded tn me. to give It back directly
to the Church. I uk this sum for non-fulfillment
of contract. I mrrely desire to establish
a precedent that a parish Is taiund to live np to
the terms of Its agreement with the rector.
Bishop Ptarkey nnd tne standing Committee of
the Diocese, as a council of advisers, will hear
the case."

Matagas is dead. In his way he was a )
groat man. The Marquis Is wondering who .J
will fill bit placet not that he Is anxious for fj
any one to do It, but It reems so de-lrable a j
place thnt he he Is afraid there may be many ',

for a bandit Matagas was a good deal of at v

It was bis misfortune, not his fault, thaths "
becamoa brigand; at least It Is said that he so
excused himself. He was a conl-blnck negro,
and was employed by some one In Puerto Prin P

district, as In thu Western States uf America. I
the cattle run at lare and onco a year ar i
lounded up; but It to happened that through a
