II EVENING NEWS.

Tor SyOU n sluc, "uN
though there seemed to be quite a diversity
Of o%n;nions in regard to who really merited
the money and victory; but in our humble
opinion we think that the decision was
given correctly. Moss is ON excellent
DANCER. and deserves much credit for the
manner in which he handled himself. The
;udres previous to the dance had called
forward several persons for a referee, in
case they could not agree. First called
was Winnie Wright. who was objected to
bv Moss, from the fact that he feared he
was prejudiced. Then the judge for Moss
called for one, and like a fash Of lightning.
the man who was Us ready to act in that
capacity as some men are to set on a jury,
sprang forward and declared himself a
competent referee, bu. Shepard could not
see it. Frank Harrington was then called
on the stage and closely questioned in re-
gard as to whether he was interested in the
result or not. which was answered, "not
a snoot full" All parties finally were
satisfied. and the contestants threw up for
the right of coming on last. which was
O BY Collins. Here the musician Tor
Moss stepped on the stage, and after some
little preliminaries the dance commenced.
Moss danced 81 minutes, making to our
eve and ear three breaks, and taking eigh-
teen different, steps. Moss was cheered
several times during the time ne was
dancing, and at the conclusion was eheered
Justify by all present. which he well mer-
tied. The dust being swept from the stage.
Mr.. thinner. the prince OF hddlers, stepped
forward and took his seat. and hme being
called, Collins came forward and CON-
menced. lie danced "a minutes. taking
over twenty varieties OF steps, and not
making q break that we were able to see.
There is a great difference in the style OF
the dancers. Collins was the favorite with
money and preferences, as was plainly to
be seen from the thunder Of applause that
greeted him on his appearance, and which
was kept up during half the time OF his
dancing. After the decision was given,
Collins addressed the crowd in u few ap-
propriate remarks and then turned to Mr..
Moss and offered his hand. which Moss
refused to take. We thought this in bad
taste on the part Of Moss to hold any feel
ings Of resentment after he had been fairly
beaten. Both parties were dressed in their
colors. Moss in red. he being an English
man, and Collins in green. he being an
lrishman.
A FRIGHTENED REroRrER.-This morn
ing, as we were coming up c street, Virginia,
and near the old Golden Era works, we were
startled by being collared BY a lady who
would weigh some two hundred and twenty
hve pounds, and made to shake in our boots.
II seems she has been keeping a lodging
house, and some parties, either BY law or
without il, had made a descent on the prem
Uses and was removing blankets, beds, etc.
and as i'll luck would have it, we were the
frs, person that happened to pass, so she
collared US and addressed us in tones as soit
as a clap Of thunder: "Och, Misther, ! am a
poor widdie, and here is a set Of dirty blagards
that would be ather Robin a poor lone wo-
man ; and now you jist go straight and bring
me an officer" Here she released us from
her iron grasp, and we gave leg bail for our
appearance in Gold Hill inside OF five min
utes. How the matter ended we were careful
no, TO stop and see.

4 FIoHr on D SrRESr.-Last evening
several persons were congresa,ed at the house
Of Barnet,e on D street. and among them was
one Sullivan, who was drunk and quarrel
some, and who succeeded in kicking up a
muss, which resulted in a free fght, in which
several parties got sore heads and bloody
noses. Sullivan, we understand, succeeded
in kicking down u door or two, when he was
caught up BY the proprietor and sent through
Il window, head FIRST, after which he left for
home. A warrant was issued for the arrest
of Sullivan this morning. We understand,
however, that Sullivan was so badly injured
in the fight that he is confined to his bed, and
probably the case will be continued. Sulli-
van seldom becomes intoxicated, ana is gen.
orally a quiet and good citizen.
House. RoBBBRs.-We understand that
two houses opposite the Eclipse mill. Gold
Hill, were entered last night, by some Of
those villains who have been committing
similar d~epredations all over the country.
and completely stripped of every valuable
that could be found. Taking. also. chill
dren's TOYS money-boxes. etc. These
thieves are supposed to be known, and a
close watch is being made for them.
Music HALL.-Music Hall was crowded.
on last evening, about as full as it would hold
conveniently, and all present seemed to enjoy
themselves in the highest degree. The Moore
family are excellent performers, and when
Master Jimmy is once known, he will draw
n good house OF himself, and Maggie and
Henry sing with excellent taste and sweet
ness. On next Friday evening, Amanda Lee,
the old ~favorite and excellent actress, takes a
. benefit. A No. performance will be given.
ASHANE.-we do not enter our name a,
adefender Of canine stock, but, at the same
time, we must say that the indiscriminate
way in which dogs are poisoned is wrong
Last night we saw a man, will n San Bar

was worth, in coin, not less than S2OO, anc
we doubt IL that amount would have pur'
chased him.
How Is THAr:-There are certain persons
who 20 to Theaters, Melodeons and such
places, and when a man that is employed e
do the stage work comes before the audience
in the discharge Of his duty, they call ou'
"Soup! soup!" Now, what we wish to say
il this: whenever you see a man do this yor
can spot him as u ''dead head and 4 whisky
bumper. Now just keep watch at Music
Hall
CHURCH FEsrIvAL.-This evening their
