ent, including 200 or 300 from Providence and
Boston, when Mr.. Bergh appeared with twenty
hve poncemen, and threatened to arrest the
principals if the match was proceeded with.

Wlthrun Shooting Club" OF Boston were
present

MIR. YoUNG's REPLY TO THE SUN.
John Russell Young, in letter to the New
YORK Evening Post, thanks that paper for the
spirit OF its comments upon the recent publ-
cations IN the Sun, and takes the fullest re-
sponsIbility for what he has written. He says
ne remembers writing many of the letters,
though he does not others; that there is moth
ing In the letters that he cannot explain when
ever an explanation is proper. 1t is not, he
says, proper here and now. Mr.. Young con.
cludes as follows: "This publication is part o.
resolute, determined effort to drive me from
the Tribune and the press of this city. 1t ii
only the elimination of a conspiracy which
has long been engendered. am satisfied tina
1t has taken me in this shape. 1t has brough
to me unexpected and precious evidences o
friendship from no men more warmly, / an
proud to say, than the generous and noble
gentlemen with whom am associated in bust
ness"

oMMHRc1AL CONVENTION

CHICAGO, April 2s-The Commercial Con-
vention, composed of delegates fron the Boards
OF Trade of Milwaukee, Oswego, Chicago, Buff
falo, Detroit, Toledo and the New York Grain
Exchange met here yesterday morning. Hon.
VIM. Bennett, of Buffalo, spoke in reference
to the granting of national aid to the Erie can
al and removing it from State politics The
possibility of procuring a reduction of canal
tolls on grain was discussed, and the appoint
ment of committee to go to Albany was
strongly urged Several New York members
declared that no heavy reduction could be Sc
cured as long as the great New York roads
were so powerful. Others claimed that rates
must be reduced, not only on the canal but al
Buffalo, Chicago and Milwaukee on the North
Western road, and it would take very close
hguring TO cut the rates down So as to compare
favorably with those by the new route via New
Orleans: The necessity of lower rates was ad-
mitted, but there was no decided agreement as
to how to lower them.
