traction, and At an early hour Of ths afternoon
it was taken possession Of by body of about
three hundred Irish labOrsrs, armed with biud
geons, who At once raised the cEy OF Three
cheers for the Pope, and down with Girabaldi. "
Immediately surrounding this mound we've sta
toned about i've hundred more Of the sane
class similarly armed, and VINO openly expressed
their intention to oppose by fOTcs any meeting
being held IN favor Of GarbAldi Il soon be-
miites did nos intend holding any meeting, and
while many approved sf Ihis decision, by far
the greater number expressed muck disapDOiut-
EeBt On It's becoming known to the Irish par
ty on ana about the mound, they set mp loud
shout, and began tsunting the Garibaldian party
for their e0Wardice. a working man who, un-
perceived by the Irish, had made his way on
TO the mound, here rushed to the 'front.' snd
waving bis nat, and holding aloft q board with

around the mound to give three cheers for the
Italian patriot which appeal was responded to
by tremendous burst Of cheering from the
assembled Thousands Ia an instant dozen of
the Irish bludgeous ratified about the head Of
the Gsribaldian champion, and be was hurled
from The mound esdiug pTofusely.
This was tie 6rst Ect Of violence committed
and was followed by the desperate rush of the
Garibsldians upon ths Irishuan, who, from the
advantageous position they held their detsrmin-
asiOa and the free use Of their cUdgsls, succeed
ed IN be1ting back their ssSailants, bU. lew OF
/ whom had 8ythiug but natures weapons at

! With loud hurFahs for the Pope, m ade desper-
Discriminatory, meH, women and children, among

seemed e-pecisl object Of dislike 70 the Irish

| twenty soldiers, who had rushed TO the aid Of
| their comrades, then fought their way up to the
mound, and atLer q severe struggle with the
Irishmen ranged around tho base, succeeded in
obtaining footing upon it.
J Tl,o e
ment. The soldiers, who were armed with sticks
supplied them by the crowd, amid the cheering
| of the Garibsldisns and yells and shouting Of
/ the Irish, laid about them with unspsHng vigOr.
The blows from the sticks TesoUHded On all
| sides, and blood beg1n TO d0w freely from the
l heads Of both parties. Each soldier had at
least dozen sssailants 20 contend with, many
Of whom were evidently expert at the use Of
their weap5ns aud possessed Of sufficient bull
dog feroeity to make them most formidable op-
pouents At least dozen men were lying at
| Ihis bleeding and ssnseless On the sop of the
mound, ana the soldiers were On the point, of
being OVeTpOWe ed By numbers, when about half

armed with Piecs Of park rail, knocked down

return severe wound in the forehead.
as the lTishmsn were beaten from tho mound,
the people beo5 seized upon those who had
| made themselves most conspicuous. and dragged
them to the cu,skirts sf the crowd, and gave
them in charge to the policemen, several Of
whom were there statisned but with orders nos
to interfere unless under the personal orders Of
the commissioner. Those who were Identified
ss having taken sn Sctive part in ths first or

to the ststion-hcuss. The Gsribsldians and the
soldiers being sow in possession Of the mound,
one Of the soldiers was hOisied on the shoulders
of bis comrades, and said if any Of the commit

The Irish, now driven from the mound, and
rendered psrfse,ly infuriste BY their defeat il
that quarter, formed themselves iEtO several
detached bodies Of about two hundred each, and
forcing their way into the eroNd in different

u
time two hundred lh0Ussnd psope assembled,
and the wishes Of one portion of the crowd TO
escape the blows Of these Tufi.ns, the determined
stand made against them By other portions, the
, shouts Of the men, the shrieks Of the women,
aud the cries Of the juveniles, presented scene
! of the most alarming description Sticks werG

tiOns, and ct lest two thousand peopla were
battling IN different ptTss Of the pArk. In some
