ter, was injured on the head by a stone thrown
by some one during the sacking of the Ameri-
can House. There were reports of some slight
flesh wounds from pistol balls. Mr.. Robert
son, conductor on the Medford Branch Rail
road, was struck on the head with a slung shot
or stone, and badly injured, and member
of the Chelsea Brass Band received a flesh
wound on the head from slung shot Both
the above gentlemen were innocent spectators
Of the atfray.
THE NEXT MoRNING-The following re-
port is given of the appearance of the battle
field yesterday morning The scenes of the
riot were visited by thousands. The ground
in the vicinity of the American House was
strewn with the wreck of dismantled window
blinds, shattered panels, window sashes, and
glass, nearly every pane of which was broken
out of the hotel. Brickbats and other missiles
were scattered about, and not few of these
significant evidences of disorder remained
where they had lodged in different parts
of the house. The gutter in front of
the hotel was reeking with the odor of
alcohol-the contents of the wine cellar
belonging to the house, which the rioters, after
drinking to their utmost, spilled upon the
ground In the rear of the hotel were the frac-
tured remains of sundry prop-tables and other
auXllarles OF gaming AT the places in Ofut's
building the crowd of spectators this morning
was large. The two rooms in which the gam
bers operated yesterday were, in the express
i've language ofthe actors in the DRAMA literal
ly CLEANED out" The sidewalk bore unmis-
takeable evidence of having subserved the pur-
poses of the beligerents, patches of brick hav-
ing been transferred with no very welcome
greeting to the interior of the gambling dens
The gambler went to Manchester fresh
from their successful villainies at the Concord
muster. The municipal authorities are in du-
ty bound to explain why the scoundres were
allowed to establish themselves there in so
many public places and operate without fear of
police officers.
PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY.
Manchester was full of people yesterday.
Many Of the tfremen had erected tents and
camped out, one of the public parks being APP
propriated to their use. Most of the best brass
bands in New England went with the firemen,
and there was an abundance of delightful mu-
SIC AT nine o'clock the divisions were formed,
1--WE in number; and when the procession NOV
edforwardtwas about three miles long. Some
time after eleven, the companies drew up
around the committees stand, and there were
addresses by Chief Engineer Hunt and Mayor
Harrington, which elected much cheering.
Tie playing for the prizes now commenced,
the following gentlemen having been selected
as judges =
Hon. Jacob F. James, Col. Bradbury, P
Cilley, Israel Dow, Esq, Isaac c. Flanders,
Esq, and Thos. p. Pierce, Esq,
Tiger engine Co. No. 6, OF Worcester, re-
tired from the line during the march, on ac-
count of misunderstanding in relation to the
playing. They came with the intention of
using Tiger engine No. l. of Haverhill but
the judges ruled that no machine could be used
twice.
The playing proceeded with some embar-
rassment from the strong wind which was I'M
favorable for those companies first in order.
The reportof the judges had not been made at
O'Clock when the last train left. A telegraph
lc despatch announces the following award of
prizes -
MANCHESTER, Sept. 15.-At the trial for
prizes which took place this afternoon, the 1st
prize, of 5000, was won by the Alert of Win
chcndon; the second, of $3.50, by the Yale, of
South Reading; Sd, of 500, by Cataract, of
Clinton; 4th, of $50, by the Gaspee, of Prov

There appears to be some mistake in this re-
port. The frs prize offered, was $500 the
second $500, the third $3.50, the fourth 800,
and the filth 500. Was the first prize with
drawn Or mas the telegraph reporter made
mistake?
ANOTHER FIGHT ExPEoTED-Many of the
companies remained in Manchester last night
and further trouble between the fremen and
the gamblers was anticipated. The gamblers
opened their rooms and spread their tables
again yesterday morning, as boldly as ever;
and the police let them do So fireman who
strayed alone into the neighborhood of one of
these re-opened dens, was knocked down;
and it was surmised that considerable wrath
had been bottled up among his friends which
was to be let loose last night. There was a
report that the gamblers had been largely re-
mforced by creatures of their own sort, in an
ucipation Of renewal of the fight and prep
arations had been made to call out the military
