Matthew ID. Green.
Matthew d. Green is name exceedingly
wen-6nown in sporting circles. 1t belonged to
man who was the representative of class in
which the traits of the sporting fraternity were
made to appear not altogether inconsistent with
the character of q gentleman. That class has
almost disappeared, not from New York only,
but from the United States. Toi belonged such
men as Green, sandford, Bill Poole, Bevns, Bill
Harrington and MCLEAN. They were the con-
Meeting, or rather they we're the dsconnecting,
link between rufIianism on the one hand and
gentlemanliness on the other.
Mr.. Green died on Tuesday at his residence
on Thompson street, in this city. For the last
two years he had been the victim Of paralysis

virility to make up for the deficiencies of two
ordinary men. AS politician he was never
very successful. He was one of those who never
are, but always to be, blest. AS man he was as
whole-souled as he was whole-bodied. In brief,
he was sporting man who had not dropped all

on making the two characters not totally at
variance. ..
