BLOODY COCKS,

Fighting on a Saturday
, Night
Any one with an eye keen to (porting
matters, would have seen at a glance, last
nigh', that something unusual waa in the
air. There wa a commotion among the
Fancj (hot could only bo accounted for by
some cccttrrenee oat of the common and to
ascertain what it might be a Scsday Rrgis
ter reporter sought out a well-known
sporting man aud questioned him. Said
he:
"If yon will promise not to give away
the place and the names, 1 will steer you
into something good."
The reporter gave the required promise*,
and the next moment the |>air were gliding
southward. The creek was crowed and
then the promise went into effect. A short
time afterward a sa'onn was entered and
the reporter found himself in the midst ot
a crowd of men sad half-grown I toys, a
very motley gathering. made ot Workmen,
sports,gentlemen of elegant leisure and a
professional or two.
"Where are we going?" queried the man
of new*.
"COCK nr. HT."
was the sententious answer. Then the
steerer led the way back and ascended a
flight of stairs. A men stationed at the
top looked suspiciously at the bright and
innocent face of the reporter and held a
whispered colloquy with the guide. It
ended in the reporter's paying two quar
ters. the admission for both, and the twain
passed in tha arena, the aoene
of the bloody gatfing match
soon to take place. A room about twenty
five feet square bad been transformed into
a cockpit, in a very primitive style. A
small s^aee, scarcely si t feet square had
been laid oil* for the pit and about it clus
tered :i roomful of men, whose faces were
but dimly seen through the halo of
smoke proceeding from the assortment
of stogie*. cigars and cigarettes, which
were Ueing vigorously pulled At the same
time the rep«rtori:»! ears were assailed hy a
jargon of slang and betting. a;» carried oa
in a semi tone.

the guide explained, were from Wheeling,
Steubenvillu and f'ittshurg, aud this tight
had been postponed from this night a week
ago. As nearly us could be seen, there
were twelve cocks, all game and sandv,
around the room, some ot them armed and
equipped, some undergoing the operation,
and a few.still unprepared, thrusting their
heads thronah the air holes of the sacks
and baskets which confined tnem.
' Bring on that red feller, light quick
now," said a voice and a man, with his
sleeves rolled to his elbows, as he grasped
a bronze rooster and stepped into the
areua. "And fifteen dollar*this little bird
gets away with him.'
"I'll g<*> you twelve to fifteen, this once/'
said a prominent sport, as he dived into
his vest pocket.
"Long odds, but here vouare," respond
ed the lirst named, us he produced his roll.
Various bets were made about the room,
while the 'red teller was i>eii»g prepared
This operntion was curiously watched by
the reporter. •hie man held the
hi:d *hiie another carefully pastel
on the stumps of his trimmed
spur", strips of court plaster, forming a
cushion for the ring of the •'gatf'." These
are steel spurs, slightly curved,about three
it.i hes in length and sharp as needles.

Presently a pair of jail's got fastened and

Another tl«hi followed soon after aud

Everything Going in the Way of Society
News and Gossip—A Resuma of
the Week, Spicy and
Interesting.
The fashionable season bu opened fully.
Throughout all of the past weelc there was
an almost continuous whirl. There were
dinners at bonfe and dinners in hotels;
weddings in churches and weddings under
the family roof: quiet, demure theatre
parties that sat in the orchestra seats, and
glittering, hilarious theatre parties that
daunted their lares and lorgnettes, their
pink and their prettines-s. and
their shirt fronts and mustachios
upon admiring houses. The shop*
have been trowed: dressmakers,
milliners, and hairdressers have been
husy; the quietest streets where the hand
somest residences are were noisy with ear
riapa wheels far into the night, and
throughout the length and breadth of all
the scenes of activity where the influence
t f fashionable life exerts its sway there has
lit-en that stir and exciting artier that in
dicates the auspicious opening of a winter's
season. Some of the matters will be found
lelow. '

Mt. ltrr.t.KvtKw—The representative cir
e'e i f Wheeling society, Hint, which for the
pri.'t several years, has held so large a place
in its antisls, opened the season Friday
evening,December I,i\t Mt. Ilelleview Hotel.
Its career has been a long one. and it has
-uthred front inevitable marriages, but re
integrating its contracted membership with
fresh social material, it stands in the fore
otmin (t ft w>(.in«rl Lnnl w,,rlr in Avcltn
serial tcl ion in the various circle*. Every
where was stagnation with no apparent
<mine. Everyone complained of tne gen
eral dullness. Hut the different mem ben
o> the social frame were merely waiting
lor ihe signal. They were bracing up for
a vigoron* spring. The impulse of the tint
hep at the New McLtire and the motive
power involved in the bracing atmoepbere
of Thanksgiving »veek were effective fn dis
sipating the appareat ietfiargy. Impelled
by tbe contagior* <»f influence, Wheel
ing's first society, representing promi
| hiently its beauty, culture, and chiv
: airy, toook possession of Mt. ifelle

! elegant and cozy little bote! wan thrown
i otxn to receive them. Mine boat, James

I the detail with exceptional ability. From
, * o'clock till 9, the freighted carriage* dis
charged tbemeelveaof their occupants, who
i proceeded to tbe handsome parlors and re
j eeptfon rooms of the hotel. Hupper, of
course, was the firM thing in order, for tbe
! epicurean character of this coterie is well
I known. At9:30 the banquet chamber re
ceived its votaries. A more magnificent
1 menu was never provided. Rat we do n«t
I propose to qualify it with oar adjectivea.
