asks, Does anybody suspect that the people
employed in such institutions, while still upder

Park, being accompanied by Barney Aaron.
He drove about until about noon, when he re-
turned to bed ct the hotel.
O'Baldwin also took exercise this morning,
walking out to Druid Hill Park and returned st
about noon, accompanied by his trainer. Mainly
OF account of his unusual stature, Is feet 5 in
ches,l . Baldwin always attracts a large crowd
whenever he appears on the streets.
A NICE CROWD FOR a TEA PARTY.
large crowd is gathered around John Eng
lsh's place, on Fayette, near Holiday street
discussing the merits Of the men. Almost every
man of the crowd has a Scared face, cropped
head and dyed moGstache, ana all of them evil
GENTLY belong to the genus trough" There is
but little disorder or drunkenness among them
however. At Barnum's
JOE CoBURE,
the principal hacker of Mace, circulates in the
bar-room and lobbies, and attracts considerable
attention from the fact that he is a Guondam
antagonist OF Mace, whom he now backs.
BESIDES COBURN,
there are at Barnum's Deoney Harris, the
trainer Of Mace, Jim Colbert, Butt Reilly,
Johnny Dryer, Tom Kelly Mike Costello, Ned
Cuddy, Pat McMullen, Jim CObarn, james

this afternoon party of fifty, embracing about
dozen Journalists, arrived here from W ashing-
ton IN route TO the fight.
There is very little betting here. There are
offers OF one hundred TO seventy dollars in favor
OF Mace, with but few takers.
Johnny Dwyer and Tom Kelly will probably
second O'Baldwin, and Tim Donovan and
Doony Harris perform the same Office for Mace.
Every arrangement is being made to leave the
city tonight.
Joe COburn on being asked to-day If he did
not think the authorities would prevent the de-
psrture of the expedition, said 'to hell with the
