Sudden Death.

A CORRESPONDENT at Souris furnishes the! following additional information concerning | the sudden death of Capt. Newell. He| says :—‘* While Capt. William 8S. Newell, of the schr. Kate McKinnon, of Barring- ton, N. S., was walking from his vessel to the Castoms Houze, at Souris, on Wednes- day last, he felidown ina fit, and after a few minutes expired. Two of his crew were accompanying him at the time. One of them ran for medical assistance, but be- fore the doctor arrived life was extinct. He was, however, conscious immediately before his death. Te alady who came to his assistance, and who spoke to him in view of approaching death, he gave assur- ance of implicit trust in the Saviour, and resignation tothe Divine Will. He was about 70 years of age, and had been suffer- ing for sume time past with héart disease, which was, no doubt, the immediate cause of his death. An inquest under the eir- cumstances was not considered necessary. His remains were kindly cared for, Mr. Frederick Morrow giving his house for the body to be laid out in until removed to the vessel, to be taken home for interment in Barrington, N.S. The deceased is said tu have been in very comfortable circumstan- ces. He leaves a wife and family behind him, to whom news of the sad event was telegraphed immediately after his decease.

Upton Park. A LARGE and respectable attendance greeted the management of the trotting

meeting yesterday at Upton Park. The weather was propitious, and the track in fair condition. Many ladies graced the oceasion by their presence. The meeting was well advertised, and our breeders were anxious to witness the struggle for supremacy between the popular stalhons of A good day’s sport was assured, but the result was disappointing, not unlike many a meeting Only one stallion—

Was it known to the management that this The entries were to be made on or before the 15th day of October. Neither the green nor carriage class filled. So that the managers brought hundreds of people, many from a great distance and at considerable expense and inconvenience, to witness trotting races when they knew that not a single class filled. This course will not commend itself tothe generous public, nor to the sport-loving community, and will injure future meetings properly conducted. Itis high time that meetings should be conducted in this Pro vince with due regard to the public as well as to the managers. Owing to the failure of the class in filling, the managers suc- ceeded in getting four horses to start in a race to take the place of the green race* The summary is below. No time was an- nounced by the judges, and it was a fairly interesting race. The practice, however, of suppressing time is very injurious to the trotting interest.

In the absence of the Stallion Class, Mr. Dockendorff’s handsome horse gave an ex-

horse is a credit to his sire, All Right, to his owner, and to the Province. His motion frictionless, and regular as a machine, and his carriage lofty and grace-

ful. He can easily trot in 2.30 on a good mile track.- The pluck and enterprise of his owner and individual merits of the horse deserve the patronage of our breeders. SUMMARY.

To-day the concluding heats were trotted, and M. W. Murphy’s horse won the two heats, with Coles's mare a good second.— Com

The management informs us with regard to the stallion race, that it was got up at the suggestion of the trainer of Hernando, who volunteered to put in his horse. Fitz- simmons also agreed to start his; Brown, of Pictou, wrote over to say that he had one; and Lee and Leaman, of Truro, said there would be two or three from that place, so that there was every reason to expectja good race. It is known that entries here do not actually close at the time named. Perhaps it would be better if they did. Managers of races, as a rule, do not wish to disappoint the public, and in endeavoring to get horses to start they are often compelled to modify their rules. The management very much regret that tle owners of horses failed to put in an appearance, and that the public were disap- pointed.

The second race did not fill, but three fast horses, evenly matched, agreed to start as a substitute. Two of the three lost courage when they came to the scratch, and consequently there was no race.

In the stallion race the judges decided that Pilot should start against time for the gold medal. They set the mark at 2.37, which, being beaten, entitled him to the medal and the championship. He won it easily in 2.354, and to see this magnificent trotter, with his even, regular and easy stroke, fly round the track, was worth, the management think, a good deal more than 25cts, if there had been no other race.

Another “ Bodega” Raided. BOUND TO BREW THE WHISKEY—OFFICERS ON THE SEARCH.

Sus-CoLitector Fo.ey of H. M. Customs, Souris, accompanied by preventive officer Charles Lavie, having received information that a still was being fitted up for the manufacture of the ardent in the vicinity of Greenvale, made ready to raid the con- cern on Wednesday last. Accordingly, the otticer aforesaid and his assistant started for the spot where the still was said to be.

| They proceeded as far as the rear of Joseph

Meivellan’s premises, where, on the margin of a rippling stream, they found a snug little log cabin, about eight by ten in size, well built and carefully corked with moss. Inside the cabin there were bottles of yeast, two wash tubs and a strong smell of spirits. The walls were smoked and scorch- ed in some places, as if an attempt had been made to fire the building on the ap- proach of the officers of the law. It is not definitely known who the owner of the establishment is, but it is thought that a reformer who occupied a prominent position in that locality a short time ago in connec- tion with the anti-alcohol vigilance move- ment, had a hand in it.

Cardigan Notes.

Fourteen schooners are loading at Cardi- gan Bridge at present, and trade is fairly good.

Many farmers are busy digging, and in consequence there is not so much produce moving ; but quite a number of vessels have already been loaded this fall.

The potato crop is not so large as expect- ed, but the quality is very good and sound. Cardigan is noted for sending away sound potatoes.

The excellent wharf accommodation at Cardigan Bridge has been further increased this season by the fine new wharf, built by Mr. James F. Norton, which will give berths for five or six schooners. It is built on the south side of the river, and the approaches to it being nicely graded, the wharf forms a fine local improvement.

There is some talk of having lamps placed on the bridge, so that no accidents will happen en dark nights. We hope to see the talk carried out.

FOOLING THE POLICE,

THE WOODFORD MEETING HELD IN SPITE OF PROCLAMATION A GREAT GATHERING AT ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING—THE CON- STABLES AND MILITARY ARRIVED ON THE SCENE TOO LATE —CONSOLATION IN GASKS OF PORTER,

(By Cable to the New York Tiibune. )

Wooprorp, October 16.—The midnight meeting of Woodford will rank as the most striking and the most crushing discomfiture which the Lrish people have yet inflicted on Mr. Balfour's government. I must tell you the story, with which all freland and England will be ringing to-morrow. Wood- ford is the centre of the Clanricarde estate, on which two thousand tenants this time twelve months ago joined the ** plan of campaign.’ Since the famous resistance of Saunders fort last year, the government have shirked incurring the odium of lend- ing their forces to Lord Clanricarde to

carry out evictions; but instead they lend

his agent a permanent squad of police, who accompany hin and his emergency men on their micaight raids upon the tenants’

cattle. ‘This agent, whose predecessor re- signed in disgust, isa newman. He has established himself in the centre of the im- tract of country covered by Lord Ciauricarde s estates, ¢ xactlhy as if he were some robber baron of the middle ages, with a troop of banditti. Escorted by the forces of the crown, he sallies forth in the night to seize and drive off whatever stock he finds unwatched on the tenant’s fields. He keeps the people in a state of never-ceasing wakefulness and anxiety. The shopkeepers of the little town of Woodford, who are also tenants, have to keep their shops al- ways closed and barricaded, and to transact business with their customers by stratagem.

fro BAULK THE POLICE,

To protest against this system and tu help allay the exasperation of the people, a monster meeting was summoned in Wood- ford for this day, the anniversary of the adoption of the ** plan of campaign.” The National Leagers expected it would be proclaimed; but though it was announced on Tuesday it was not proclaimed until yes-

news to half the contingents coming to the meeting. The Castle had deliberately set a trap in order to provoke another Mit- chellstown. For all this the National League were prepared. They made ar- rangements to baulk the police of bloodshed and to hold the meeting in spite of them. These plans were a triumph of ingenuity. Their execution was a triumph of discipline. Hitherto, in order to hold a prohibited meeting, we have adopted the course of en- gaging the attention of the authorities at the advertised spot, while the meeting was held elsewhere. As the government had become used to this scheme, another had to be devised, and this time the meeting was to be held at the advertised spot while the enemy was kept amused in another direction. It was further arranged io hold it at the first hour of the morning, immedi- ately after the stroke of midnight.

MR. O'BRIEN 'S SHREWD CALCULATIONS.

In Woodford there is no accommodation for troops, so William O’Brien, who was the Nationalists’ general on the occasion, calculated that the authorities would mass their forces at the neighboring towns of Portumna and Loughrea, and if their sus- picions were not aroused, spend the night there. To induce them to keep to the programme, two of the members of Parlia- men’ announced to attend the meeting went yesterday, one to Portumna the other to Laughrea, as if their intention were to pro- veed to Woodford next morning. They held meetings last night at both places which so far interested the police that they turned out and dispersed them. Mean- while, Mr. O’Brien, with Mr. Rewlands,an English member, Wilfred Blunt and my- self, accompanied by two friendly journal- ists, advanced on the Woodford Road, via Limerick and Bodyke. The local leaders throughout South Galway had orders to start their contingents at 9 o'clock and assemble in Woodford by midnight. Some- body at Woodford cut the telegraph wires aud the police there could send no word of what was going on to the forces at Loughrea and Porturana. This step was not in the authorized programme, but it helped the cause of peace. To tell you all devices by which we threw the authorities off the scent would require a chapter. It was all touch and go tu the last moment, for the immense forces massed for the occasion were bent upon bloodshed, and it was im- possible to tell what accident would apprise them of our intentions, and send them galloping upon Woodford. On arriving at Bodyke, Mr. O’Brien and our party put up with the parish priest. We dined there, and after dinner went out to the village, where a torch-light procession awaited us, and made speeches from the historic rock of Tom Granney, from which O’Connell once spoke. Then we retired to the priest’s house. The processionists went home to bed, and the Bodyke police went to the telegraph office and wired to Portumna that all was well and O’Brien and his friends were going to spend the night with Fatber Murphy.

STEALING AWAY WHILE THE POLICE SLEPT.

An hour later there might have been seen seven silent figures stealing like spec- tres in the darkness through the priest’s garden, past the back of the police barrack, through the hushed streets of the village of Scariff, and out upon the Woodford read. There were three members of Parliament, a distinguished English philanthropist, the pressmen, and a stalwart young curate who acted as guide. A walk of half a mile brought us to cars which waited for us. We divided into two parties. Mr. O’Brien takes charge of one, 1 of the other; and in & moment we are speeding toward Wood- ford, which lies twelve Irish miles away. It is just the night for a conspiracy—pit ch dark but fine. About three miles outside Woodford we hear two shrill whistles on the roadside; then in the stillness the strik- ing of a match and the creptitation of burn- ing furze; then a flameleaps up, and a whole furze bush is ablaze. This is a signal which is answered by a blaze on the hillside to the left, and another to the rigkt; and a horseman rides out of a farm yard gateway, identifies us, shouts a watchword, and is olf like an arrow to Woodford to tell them we are coming. Half a mile outside the village we turn a bend, and beyond the rulling line of hillocks, outlined black against the glare there seems to be a conflagaration. Billows of lurid smoke rise up, and on the crests of hillocks one almost looks for the flash of

artillery and the figures of gunners moving dit. Tt Wie te hebthir dn fire, white

coming up from the valley was an immense torchlight procession. In a few moments we are surrounded by a cheering, hat-way- ing, hand squeezing crowd, They bring in the news that there is not a dozen police at Woodford, while a thousand police and military are concentrated at Portumna and Loughrea. Our strategy has succeeded. The bands strike up: we climb the hill on which the town is perched, and the meeting begins, while thousands of men are shout- ing with delight and enthusiasm in«the street. O'BRIEN PROCLAMATION.

The torech-bearers assembled in front of the house of the chief inhabitant, from the windows of which speaking takes place. The parish priest is moved to the chair, What a welcome! One thinks they will never stop. O'Brien holds a copy of the proclamation in his hand, after a few ringing sentences gets a light, applies it to the paper, dangles it blazing for a moment above the groaning and cheering of the

English visitors speak at the meeting, which goes on for nearly three hours, and which

dispersed peaceably, a glorious suc- cess and a triumph from beginning to end. ‘To-day the army to sup-

press the meeting arrived in Woodford on cars or breaks, and waggonettes. With rifles shouldered, the police advanced through the empty town. Mounted police- men galloped up and down the line. Twelve casks of porter had been carted to the police barrack the day before to supply them with Mitchellstown courage. The military marched a good deal in the rear. It wasasight tosee the government re- porter, with his body guard, walking up and down, standing gaping onthe road, spurs on his boots. He evidently was to have been mounted at the battle like a major-general. One large body of police had travelled all the way from Gaiway, thirty Irish miles. They spent the day sulking ina field at the back of the bar- rack, and drinking the casks of porter. When one or another of us started from sallinasloe or Loughrae, on the way home, a couple of breaks full of them set off in
