New York Swindles.

10 llSnC. Inc most notorious oil
them is what has baen called the
''sawdust swindle," the exposure
of which has developed some very
interesting and curious facts.
The originators of this scheme
have for the past few years flooded
the country with circulars offering
counterfeit bills at a very low
price. After forwarding the pur-
chase money as requested, all the
applicants receive are small, neat
wooden boxes which contain small
pieces of cast IRON wrapped in
shavings or imbedGed in sawduSt
When the dupes write and ask for
an explanation, they receive myS
teriously-worded circular, headed
caution" informing them that
the police have obtained a clue
aud are OH the track, aud that the
box containing the iron and saw
dust is merely a "olind," and the
dupe is earnestly requested to
keep clark" for a time to save
himself, and when the thing has
blown over, the real counterfeits
will be duly forwarded. This is Il
trick, of course, and is only resort
ed to by the swipGIeis to keep
their victims quiet while they en-
snare Others in the same fold.
James Fisher and aries
Hinckley, who carried on a very
extensive trade at No 80 Nassau
street, cleared thousands of dol.
lars from country dupes by this
sawdust swindle. They traded
under the name OF Fisher s. CO.;
King & Sen, Owen Brothers, &c.
They occupied five rooms on the
top floor of the premises. They
started in September, 1870, and,
when ready, they advertised for
good pensmen to write addresses
at So per thousand. They engag
ed ten young men, chiefly new ar
rivals from Europe. These young
men were locked up in one room,
and supplied with envelopes and
bundles of letters. Each man
wrote, Oil an average, 800 adj
dresses per day, and was kept at
work for five months. During
these five months 10000 circulars
were mailed ali over the couatrv.
offering TO supply counterfeit
money In one room were nine
young girls folding circulars, in
closing them, and stamping the
envelopes. These girls earned

Amity VS.. Flyaway-The Junior Champions
Badly Beaten.


Badly Beaten.
Yesterday afternoon the Amity Club, Of South
Brooklyn, and the Flyaways played the first game
Of series for the junior championship and 'that
silver ball." The contest took place on the lower
grounds OF the Capltoline, and was witnessed by
about three hundred persons. From the first the
Amitys took the lead and maintained it throughout
beating their adversaries to the tune OF 81 to
IL. On the part OF the Plyaways the only
players maintaining their regulations as ''hrst
class ball tossers" were Fleet, Murphy and
Besttck, the Others playing game that
would disgrace almost any country CLUB In exist
ence. Beyond all question the Amity Club Is q far
better one than is the Fyaway. AT every p0iAt they
outplayed the champions. who II s but just to state
were without the assistance OF their regular pitcher
aud left fielder. 1t Is doubtful, however, II they
would have done much better even with the assist.
ance OF these Colen, the Amtys catcher, filed his
position to perfection, and clearly demonstrated
Nothing seemed too hot Tor MIN, and the way he
picked the hot tips OF the bats of the Flyaways
was really treat to all who saw him. Donnelly,
Dowd, Cummings and Smith also played their posi-.
tions well and drew from the assemblage repeated
bursts OF applause. The following Is the scOre:-
