died a patriot’s "death. His ftmend occurs on
to-morrow (Sunday.) afternoon at 2 o’clock,
from the Tabernacle Baptist Church, on Dcs
plu’mcs street.
Reform School Bovs.—There seems to be
a bitch somewhere in the matter of jetting
hoys from the Police Court in this city to the
Reform School. This institution being about
a mile beyond the city. limits and the termi
nus of the horse railroad, it seems to be the
opinion of the police—or a portion of them—
that it Is not their business to take the con
victs out; and in many cases, where boys
hare been ordered to that school from the
Police Court, they have remained at the Ar
mory lor a week or more, until some officer
from the Reform School has come for them.
As a matter of course, the boys cannot be
locked up here all this tipic, and beside the
liability of their escape are the contaminating
influences they arc subject to from such con
finement in a station-house. We think it
time some proper arrangement was made in
the matter.
"Enforcing toe Small-Pox Ordinance. —
A West Side physician, Dr. A. B. L. Myers,
was arrested on. Thursday, charged with in
fringing a city ordinance, In neglecting to re
port a ease of small-pox to the health, officer.
Pleading ignorance ol the law, he was fined
SSO, but the execution suspended upon fay
incut of costs. We arc informed by the health
officer that he has formally notified all the
pnysiclans in the city, of the necessity of com
plying with this ordinance, many of whom
have taken no notice of it, and that it is now
the intention to prosecute every one known
to have Infringed the law.
"Under the ordinance It is necessary that
every case should be reported to the health
officer, who at once examines into the case.
If he finds the patient in good hands, and the
inmates of the House will allow of a notice on
the door, warning citizens of the presence of
the dificisc, the patient is allowed to remain;
otherwise he is removed to the small-pox hob
pital or pest-house. This institution is situ

BEAUTY AND GEACE UPON ICE.
Plain and Taney Skating—Spread Eagl« and
tong Eo*l ,—Senes and Incidents of
the frand Fete d’Hlrer.
Yesterday afternoon was the occasion of the
great skating tournament at Washington
• Park, an event novel In the annals of the ice,
and which, as we bad predicted, called forth
the best skating talent of the city, and at
tracted an immense crowd ol spectators,
mostly ladies. The very announce
ment of this match, or as the learned
managers • termed It —fete (Thinr, what
ever that is—threw the whole skating
fraternity Into a Uutter of excitement, and
for a week past, the Park has been crowded
with aspirants for the prizes, practising plain
skating, and doing the fancy, graceful work
which is the ambition of every lover of this
splendid amusement. Morning, afternoon and
evening, whenever the ice was in condition,
the Parkpreaented an array of elegance and
grace which could only be called forth by the
ice—the greatest institution of the winter
season. It recalled the days of muscular
paganism when the coliseum, the amphi
theatre :vnd the stadium were thronged by the
gjhmastic youngEomans and Athenians prac
tising for the laurel wreath and the upward
thumb winch should proclaim them the
victors. But neither Athens nor Rome in
their palmiest days of red haired beauty ex
celled the macular ChritUaus at the Wash
ington Skating Pork, or could boast brighter
eyes, rosier cheeks, or more tempting ankles,
albeit those were the days of Venus and Hebe,
and the royal, magnificent June. The damp
and heavy fall of snow on Thursday, and the
subsequent provoking thaw of yesterday, ex
cited fears that the skating would be ruined,
thereby necessitating a postponement of the
tournament, until Boreas should again con
geal the plain, and fling over it the broad blue
mirror of ice. But the managers of the Park
arc never behind, and the clerk of the weather
invariably rises too late to get ahead of Messrs.
Hatch and Stoats, the men of the benevolent
boots, who preside over the interests of the
skating fraternity, and gather the children
under their wings, on Saturdays.
The hour set for the tournament was S
o'clock and the prizes were announced as fol
lows :
ladies’ prizes.
To the best skater, a pair of silver-mounted
skates to be selected by the winner.
To the second best skater, a splendid pair
of silver-mounted Blondin skates, offered sis a

To the fourth best skater, cue of Shaw’s

Mr. Shaw also offered, as an independent
Erize to the poorest skater on the ice, cither
idy or gentleman, one dozen Cartes de Visitc.
The range of these prizes famished an am
ple field for contestants, and had the effect to
call out a large representation of the best
talent of the oi f y, which, considering the
short time skating has been in vogue here as
a fashionable amusement may be favorably
compared with that of any other place.
By S o’clock full 1,500 spectators were Ic.
attendance, occupying the spacious rooms,
the band stand, refreshment room, benches
placed upon the ice, and every “coignc of
vantage” attainable, which should furnish an
uninterrupted view of the match. The Ice
was also covered with skaters, and the Light
Guard Band furnished excellent music until
3 o'clock. The icc was in very fair condition
considering the weather, and although soft
and crispy along the borders was sufficiently
hard and firm in the center to allow of ample
space for the exhibition. A patch about two
hundred and fifty feet.by one hundred, bound
ed by the spectators’ benches, was therefore
reserved for the exhibition, the band stand
being upon the northern side and the
stand for the Committee of Awards and
reporters at the centre of the southern
limit. The Committee, owing to the absence
of some of the members, was somewhat
changed from the original announcement, and
took their places at 3 o'clock as follows:
Rev. A. Swazcy; Prof. Bartlett; Geo. P.
Upton, of the Tribune; J. H. Field, of the
Journal; A. Worden,of the Times ; J. W.Shea
han of the Post; Mr. Goodman and Mr. Wood.
After arranging preliminaries, the competi
tors were called, and came bclorc the Com.

The first trial was an exhibition of speed by
the ladies, distance twice around the enclos
ure, eight at a time. Of the first eight, Miss
Wheeler of Wheaton was declared the winner,
although another' contestant came in ahead.
The latter was out, however, as she had
not followed the instructions of the Commit
tee to round the corner stakes outside instead
of inside, and by going cross lots obtained a
material advantage over the others. Of the
second eight. Miss Ward was an easy winner,
skating with great rapidity and with unusual
strength end firmness, but lucking somewhat
the grace of many of the other contestants.
The final test was then between Miss Ward
and Miss Wheeler, and was a beautlfiil exhi
bition of the graceful art. Miss Wheeler
skated with consummate grace, making long
and evenly measured strokes, swaying the
whole body to each diagonal, with her
eyes kept steadily upon the lee and making
use of every advantage. The first time round
she reserved herseli; while Miss Ward struck
out boldly and energetically, as straight as an
arrow and almost as swift. She tripped occa-.
sionally, and made many false steps, but hand-
somcly recovered herself Miss Wheeler on
the other hand was smooth and finished In
every movement, never slipping, never mak
ing a false step, but keeping throughout a
measured evenness and complete finish as per
fect as the running of a watch. On the second
round, Miss Wheeler put forth more effort,
but not at the expense of grace, while Miss
Ward dashed furiously ahead, somewhat at
the sacrifice of the latter quality, coming in
ahead by two or three feet, amidst the ap
plause of the spectators.
Skating backward was the next test in
which many of the ladies excelled. Miss
Wheeler was equally graceful in this style of
skating, and evidently superior to all. Miss
Dickinson, in spite of a very unfavorable cos
tume, displayed much elegance. Miss Ward
■ was not so much at home as in skatingfor
ward, but still accomplished iv very well. Miss
Coe was also very graceful aud. coon bonune
a favorite. Many of the others were not well
practised. Cutting rings followed, in which
Miss Wheeler was again superior, and
Miss Dickinson second. Miss Ward
got rapidly round the ring, but
rather by keeping both feet upon the
ice and “ sculling, n than by crossing the
feet, the proper way of cutting the ring. The
Committee then requested the ladies to exer
cise for live or.ten minutes in any manner
they preferred, and plain skating forward and
backward, rings, spread-eagles, etc., ensued
ad libitum. In all of these, Miss Wheeler in-
variably caught the eye by her grace. She
was dressed In exquisite taste, wearing a
black cap with red plume, a lightly fitting
basque and short skirt, so that her move
ments were in no manner interfered with.
Miss Dickinson would * undoubtedly have
skated to better advantage had it not been for
her long dress, which sometimes Impeded
her. Still she attracted universal admiration.
Her backward skating and whirls were ad
lairablc, and all her motions displayed care
an'd study.
At the expiration of the time, the ladies
were called to the stand and the OommUtS
awarded the premiums as follows;
It ref Premium (blue ribbon) to Mias
Wheeler, of Wheaton. *"*
Second Premium (red riblvon) to Mias Aj.tda
Dickinson..
TMtd Premium (white ribbon) to Miss Julia
Ward.

KUt Wk.-’e:, lij vriauct <)flbc 5r.l promi-
um, is from Wheaton, and learned to skate by
bcreelf, without help or Instruction. Ac
cording to the conditions of the premium,
the had the choice of a skate, and selected the
Blondin pattern. The Agent In this city, wo
understand, has agreed to make a splendid
silver-mounted pair, which shall hi) appropri
ate to the occasion, and will be handsomely
engraved with mi inscription. The skating
of all the ladles was good, and we must espe
cially notice little Miss Knox, who, for her
age and alzc, displayed rare abilities. She pro
mises to make one of the llncst skaters In the
city.
The contest between the gentlemen was ex
citing in the extreme, the more so that a large
proportion of them were very evenly matched.
As with the ladles, speed was the first test,
four times around by fours. The contest was
very close, with now one and now another
ahead, and lots of tumbles, owing to the ef
forts of the contestants to get the inside
track.
On the various trials, some ot the best
skating we have ever seen took place. Lcckic’s
long and graceful strokes were particularly
admired, but some unfortunate tumbles hin
dered him greatly. Mason displayed very
handsome skating. Steams was very grace
ful, and in our estimation the most graceful
of all the gentlemen, but not quite so fast as
Wbitchonsc, who seemed perfectly at homo
on his skates, and did some fine work. Pea
cock was also a rapid and graceful skater.
The contest on speed upon the home stretch,
narrowed down to Steams and Whitehouse.
They flew like arrows. Whitehouse was wary
and took the inside of the stakes every lime,
but his advantage was only temporary.
Stearns would swiftly shoot ahead, Wldte
bousc keeping the inside unlU on round
ing the last quarter they were neck
and neck, with but a few feet to go,
when Stearns unfortunately stumbled and
measured his length, leaving the field clear to
Whitehouse, who came in first. Pratt, a lit
tle hoy in comparison with the other skaters,
deserves especial mention for his excellent
skating against such heavy disadvantages.
In skating backwards Lcckic was a fa
vorite as well as Whiteiioasj, Stearns
and Peacock, the hitter especially de
serving commendation for his handsome
effort. In cutting rings, forward and back
ward, there was much evenness in the compe
tition. The little Pratt accomplished it very
artistically, crossing his feet with a measured
uniformity, and lifting them clear from the
ice at each stroke. Many, of the others com
mitted the radical error of not lifting their
feet, but “sculling,” a practice familiar to
everybody, and very easily done.
The front roll or ns it is sometimes called
the Dutch roll, winch is probably the most
graceful of nil methods of skating, and
. consists in turning each diagonal with a roll
ing sweep upon the outer edge of the skate,
swaying t%c body at the same time, was ac
complished most admirably by Lccklc, and
also by Peacock. In the double roll forward
Biddcford excelled, and Stearns and Mason
displayed great proficiency. In the double
roll backward, the most difficult feat
upon skates, Peacock displayed the care
and attention he had devoted to skating, and
accomplished the almost impossible motions
with astonishing excellence. Little Pratt, to
the wonder of everybody, although not equal
to Peacock, still did It well. The others
tried at it hard, and were next, but at a long
distance. The last feat was spinning upon
one foot a la top, and strange to say, little
Pratt was the only one who could accomplish
it. Peacock didn't attempt it. The others
tried hard and ended in funny failures.
A free pass was then given to all the gentle
men to go In and do their handsomest, and
for a few minutes the Ice was the scene of
splendid skating, each tiying to outdo the
other in impossible feats. Pigeon of
eTC ry descriptions, spread eagles, forward
and backward rolls, jumps and tumbles were
promiscuously mixed up, and all were snarl
ing up and disentangling, twisting and wreath
ing in graceful convolutions, and engraving
upon the Icc, curves which would have aston
ished Napier, when the Committee called the
competitors to the stand and awarded the
prizes, as follows:
First Premium— (blue ribbon) to C. D. Peacock.
Stcoue Premium—{red ribbon) to Frederick
Pratt
Third Premtum— (white ribbon) to Frank
Whileln use.
Fourth J*remium— (yellow ribbon) to J. W.
Stearns, Jr,
The volunteer prize of a carles dc visile
to the poorest skater on the ice was the next
on the tapis. Nobody seemed ambitious of
claiming this distinction, except Gmmybags,
who challenged Jenkins and everybody else.
Jenkins declined the' honor, and Gunnybags,
coveting one prize, attempted the spinning,
which of course resulted in an inglorious
failure, and entitled him to the dozen Gunny
bags iu miniature. Bat, although the spin
ning attempt made him sit down, and r&ll
over, and sec stars, the Committee ignored
bis claim. He enters his protest, and chal
lenges the whole Committee to spin with him
for a purse of any amount ol greenbacks, or
postal currency, railroad tickets not to be
spun for, unless they are tbe seven ride ones.
In making the awards, the Committee had a
delicate task before them. There should, in
reality, have been two set of premiums—one
for plain and the other for fancy skating. As
it was, everything had to be considered—both
strength, activity, speed, grace and finish.
There were many who excelled in one thing,
but in no others; and many who, in plain
skating alone, would have taken a prize. It
Is noticeable, however,.that no prizes were
awarded until every skater’s abilities had
been canvassed, and each man’s excellencies
in every department compared with the oth
ers. If we mistake not, every man upon the
Committee was a practical skater, and two of
them at least, Messrs. Goodman and Woq; l ,,
among the very best in the whole city. We
Cave no doubt their awards will give very
general satisfaction.
Thus ended one of the most pleasant enter
tainments ever given in the city. We really
hope to see mauy more. of them. They are
institutions to bo encouraged, and will result
In a largely Increased stock of health, a splen
did development of the muscle of Christianity
and unalloyed, pure and innocent enjoyment
to the young women and young men of the
city.
To-day is devoted from Sa. m. until 3 p. m.
to the children, who will be admitted for the
trifling fee of ten cents. The band will be In
attendance, and another pleasant scene simi
lar to that of last Saturday is expected.

The Gltt Concert.
Cnoxoo, Feb. 13,15C3.
Editors Chicago Tribnne:
Some few days since, I noticed an advertisement
In your paper, In relation to a " gift concert.’’ At
that time I supposed It was being gotten up for the
benefit of the Great Western Band, ana conse
quently purchased half a dozen tickets, and also
induced several friends to buy. My attention was
this morning called to au articic ln your local col
umns. that the Concert Is in no way connected
with the interests of the Great Western Band, but
a matter of Messrs. Weber and Hilton's only.
Now, who are Messrs. Weber and Hilton? Iflnd
no such firm in the directory. If they arc respon
sible parties, let us know it. I, for one, hare been
sold two or three times before, and I now feel like
becoming a wiser ami a better man, if 1 have been
sold in this matter. Caul.
[We are as ignorant as the writer of the
above concerning the identity of the firm. We
understand, however, that they have depos
ited heavy bonds with the City Comptroller
for the fulfillment of their obligations.—-Eds.]
Misplaced Confidence.— Yesterday after
noon a grey-headed old man approached
at the comer of Lake and Dearborn streets,
hy two men who proposed to furnish him
with “ green-backs ” for life S2OO In currency,
and as they were strange's, proposed to him
to hold as security untK they should return
five or ten a cheek for SSOfi
upon the Merchant?’ Loan and Trust Com

the check, and was minus both currency and

The Dokax-Casey Adultery Case —The
case of Pierce Doran is probably familiar to
most of our readers. He was arrested some
time since, and tried on the charge of an as
sault upon Ids wife, with intent to kilL- He
was tried at the last term of the Recorder’s
Court and acquitted. While he was yet In
jail he caused a warrant to bo Issued for Ca
sey, who was tried and bound over. On
Thursday, upon his complaint, his wife was
arrested, charged with living In open adultery
with Cornelius Casey. The case was conclu
ded yesterday afternoon, before Justice Hois-
Ington; John Quinn, Attorney for the People,
and Wm. L. Cameron, for the defendant. The
principal witness in the case was Bernard
Doran, a bright, Intelligent lad of thirteen,
whose testimony was straight-forward and,'
we should judge, truthful, notwithstanding
the rigid quibbling and severe cross-exami
nation, by thc k Couusel for the defence; As
bis statement of the facts in the case were
given in detail, as elicited in Casey's trial, it is
needless to reproduce his testimony. John
Bnfler ofTbornton also testified, that he had
known all the parties In question—that he
had frequently seen Casey and Elizabeth Do
ran together, and, acting in the capacity of a
constable, he had taken Casey with a warrant
at Doran’s house, where he found him in bed
at midday, during Casey’s absence. That
while Doran was away he had frequently seen
him come from Mrs. Doran’s house, early in
the morning, and go to his own door and
knock, to wake his children up, that he might
get in.
From the.facts elicited during the trial,
there can he no further doubt but that the
parties are guilty of the charge. Mrs. Doran
was hound over forherappearanceat the next
term of the Recorder’s Court.

by tbc leniency towards their accessories, ot
late, the burglars and robbers bave again com

bert, 12 Aberdeen street, was entered, but the
family being aroused, alarmed the burglar, and
he sloped.
Tbc bakery of Geo. W. Paige, 254 Madison
stret, was entered the same night. Mr. Paige
bad locked tbo door inside, and tied the key
to the doorhandle to prevent its being turned
by the burglars’ nippers. Failing to gain an
entrance at the door they broke a-panc of
glass, and one of them cntcrctPthrougßthC
window. They were beard by ( tho. Cunily
above, andleffbcfore Mr. Paige could gefrhis
bands upon them, or even get a shot at them.
They did not succeed in stealing hnythlug of
value.
A Three Handed Game.—Yesterday after
noon, Barney O’Reilly applied at the bar of a
saloon on Clark street near Randolph, for a
glass of liqnor. Constable Jennings insisted
that he was already too drunk to have any
more liquor, whereupon Barney struck Jen
nings, and a scuffle ensued, in which consta
ble Comfort lent a hand, as a peace party.
Jennings caused Barney O’Reilly to be arrest
ed, and'his trial is set for this morning at 8
o’clock, before Justice Hoisington. O’Reilly
has sworn out writs for the two constables,
Jennings and Comfort.
