THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEES AT ALBANY.

ALBANY, N. Y, June II, 1872.
The car shops at West Albany today were de-
serted and silent, more than one thousand men
employed In them having quit work. Conduc-
tors and brakemen have been obliged TO act as
switchmen and signal men Of their own trains. A
committee succeeded in inducing the mechanics
employed in the Hudson River Railroad shops back
OF Greenbush to Join them. The laborers however,
refused The committee also failed to prevail
on the workmen In the Boston and Albany Rail-
road shops to join in the strike, these workmen
having declared that they viii not act unless
movement is maugurated In Springfield or Boston,
and not then unless the movement is general along
the entire line. II Is said that the conductors on
that road, between Albany and Worcester, will
strike for an advance OF wages from $50 per month
to $75, and IT IL expected their demands WIN be
compiled with.
1t appears that the strike on the Central Railroad
extends only to Schenectady and Utica, the SYRIA
cuse, Rochester and Buffalo men hesitating to Join

Park to-day, at which addresses made by the

The committee who had been appointed to visit
the freight houses and the new Central and Hudson
River depot reported that the workmen declined to

city to invite the workmen to co operate.
Resolutions were adopted inviting all mechanics
to Join them, and urging brakemen to stand out
until their demands were complied with. COM
mittee was appointed to wait on Governor Hoffman,
and ask him to give his views the JUS
tice OF enforcing the eight-hour law. The
committee waited on the Governor, who
informed them that he had so often expressed
his views on the subject that it was unnecessary to
repeat them at this time. The chairman Of the COM

PIGEON SHOOTING.
Match Between Ira A. Paine and Captain b.
gardus for $2,eOO---lOO Birds Each.
PAINE WINS BY ONE BIRD.
Large Attendance at Fleetwood Park and Heavy
Betting-Paine the Favorite Through
out the Match.

large assemblage OF gentlemen congregated
yesterday afternoon at Fleetwood Park to wit
ness the shooting match between Ira A. Paine,
OF this city, and Captain Bogardus, OF Illinois, the
stakes being $1,000 on the part of Paine against
Bogardus' $1,000 the odds being given to cover
the latters expenses from the West this city and
back again home.
The conditions Of the match were 100 birds each,
twenty-one yards rise, eighty yards boundary,
ma birds and trap for each other Rhode Island
rules TO govern. Mr.. Staples chosen umpire
for Paine and Mr.. Doxie for Bogardus Robert
Robinson acting as referee.
When the parties assembled 1t was discovered
that Paine was the favorite, ana from the first sale
OF pools to the end he continued the favorite.
having the call at two to one when Bogardus was
three birds ahead OF him. This great odds in his
favor was said to be on account or the rare quality
of the pigeons he had to give his opponent to shoot
at, they having been recently imported from Eng
land for this match. They were nearly all blue
rocks, and were in very fine condition. 1t was
said by some OF the gentlemen present who
have been In England and have tried
the blue rock there, that Paine would
have an advantage over Bogardus OF at
least ten per cent by giving these birds to his
opponent, and hence the odds in Pane's favor by
those who understood the difference OF the birds
to De shot at. Notwithstanding all the boosted adj
vantage OF Paine's blue rocks, however, over
Bogardns' New Jersey pigeons, the latters friends
were willing to take all the odds that offered
against him, and they consequently lost large
amounts, as Paine won the match by one bird, he
having killed eighty to Bogardus' seventynne. II
there was ten per cent advantage in Paine's
favor by shooting at New Jersey pigeons while his
adversary had to shoot at English blue rocks,
Captain Bogardus Is entitled to the greater credit
for making such respectable score. The defeat of
the latter, no doubt, will be considered a great
achievement by Paine, and he will probably be con-
tent with this victory without again trying con-
illusions with the prairie hunter OF Illinois,
The shooting throughout was very fine. The
birds that BOgardus shot at were nearly all
drivers, and they few with great rapid
ity, close to the ground. These were
the imported English blue rocks. Miles
Johnson furnished the pigeons for Bogardus that
Paine had to shoot at, ana they as good birds
as have been used on previous occasions In this
country, but for flight and strength they are far in
feri0r to the blue rocks.
Bogardus shot with double barrel ten bore
Foster gum weighing ten pounds. Paines gun was
also double barrel ten bore, made by Purdy
weighing eight pounds and half.
The following are the details OF the shooting, to-
gether with the score:-

armed with heavy sedge hammer, and rushed to-

design, drew pistol and presented II at the as

among the laborers, most of them dreading to
interfere between the combatants While the ex-

In the article on ocean Travcl,n which appeared
In the columns Of the HERALD last Sunday, It was
stated that the steamship Atlantic, OF the White
Star Line, was towed from her dock by the Seth
