Then Upham and O'Connell sparred four rounds, after which Upham and McGee faced each other for four rcunds. In both ‘‘set-to’s” splendid scie.ce was shown, The ‘‘wind-up” was between Dick Cronin and O'Connell, and was a rattler—both displaying considerable science. The imitation of the Sullivan. Mitchell fight did not take place, owing to the smallness of the ring space.

The Fisheries Treaty.

Wasutveran, D. 0., May 22.

The Senate has decided, by a vote of 28 to 27, not to consider the Fisheries Treaty imopen session. The Republican Senators have considered the Fishery Treaty in caucus, and the understanding is that they agreed to sustain the majority of the com- mittee on foreign relations, and that no objections will be interposed to a final vote for rejection either by way of amgndment or hy propositions for postponement till next winter. Jt is to be concluded, there- fore, that the Fishery Treaty will be re- jected. This will not be done without considerable debate, Jt is understood that a number of set speeches have been pre- pared, to be delivered on both sides, and the debate may continue for some days,

Sir,—The action of the City Council in granting one thousand dollars for the appre- hension of the supposed incendiary at the late fire would lead one to suppose that Bro. Gardner, of the Lime Kiln Club, pre- sided at the last session. Anyone who has read an account of the deliberations of the Detroit organization, knows the wholesale manner in which large sums of money are disposed of. To provide the present ‘‘ Re- ward” is it the intention of our City Fathers to levy a special assessment, or how do they propose to obtain it? An ex- planation is in order.

——

Beside the Question.

Sre,— In your impression of yesterday a correspondent indites a mcst ill-natured letter anent the Public Gardens. . This dragging the rum quéstion into matters of city improvement is neither calculated to help the Public Gardens, nor to accomplish the dismissal of any public officer. Outside of the beautiful gardens on Queen Square, where have we, as citizens, a site which we can point out to strangers and visitors to our city with any degree of pride. The man who drags in side issues is no friend to the city. ARBOR.
