We don't believe this Is good climate
for Tournaments. The one which came
off at New Castle Thursday, amer two post
ponemenis on account Of weather, did not
show the perfection of good management
hoped for, while 1t was greatly embarrassed
by so uptoward an event as the sheritflevy'
ing on the fancy clothing Of the doughty
Knights and putting a stop to the whole
p erformance until the money required
was forthcoming. Now there was
nothing of Ike dash the dare and
deyiluy of chivalry about this. II
the Sheriff and his posse had but
rushed with drawn sabres on the field and
demanded tribute for Lord Old Clos Of
Tinsel-toggery Castle at the point Of the
sword, and the Knights had charged upon
the possee with drawn lances and chased
them into the Delaware River and kept
the other mans clothing as trophies Of
the fight, then real old-fashioned scene
OF chivalry would have been enacted.
As 1t was, they paid their debts like the
base plebean matter-of-fact people OF
this day and generation, and there was
not half as much Of real chivalry dis
played as on that day, some years ago,
when another Sheriff sailed forth from
New Castle to stop closer imitation, in
spirit at least, of the old-fashloned tour
ney, aud with but two or three to hack
him, faced as rough crowd of roughs as
ever entered our State, and in the name
of the law forbade them to commence
their prize fight after the ring had actually
been arranged.
Considered as q game, however, tour.
nament has some attractions, and has the
advantage over most other gamOs Of pro
noting equestrian skill. 1t is harmless
enough amusement, aud, stripped of IL,
childish glitter and pretensiou, would b,
a harmless game enough, with no more Of
absurdily than any other athletic sport
As IL is, people will laugh at it, and, as W,
said in the beginning, we d MT bellev,
this latitude agrees with II,

The amusement managers In New York
are making another OF their spasmodlc
attacks on the dead head SYSTEM" and
including the free tickets issued TO the
press in their causes for complaint. We
venture the asser ion that the newspaper
men Of New York and everywhere else in
the country will gladly consent to the
abolition of the system II the managers
will consent to do without any notices Of
their performances not prompted solely by
the editors inclination or his estimate Of
the amount Of public interest in them, and
will not expect newspapers TO bs repre-
scented at any performances which the
inclination Of some one connec ed with
them does not prompt them to attend
Until managers arc prepared for this the
less they say about newspaper "dead
heads" the better it will be for them. II
is simply preposterous to expect men to be
compelled to attend every performance,
whether they want to or not, and 10 pay
for doing so also.

The steamship Ohio for the Pennsyl-
vsnla X. R. Company's Europesn line be-
tween Philadelphia and Liverpool was
launched yesterday from Cramps ship
yard in Kensington. The launch Of an
iron vessel being novelty In Phlladel-
phia The performance attracted large
crowd of people to witness it and
they we're filed with enthusiasm at
the success Of the launch. We sincerely
hope that these new steamers may be as
perfect in all respects as If they had been
built at some of the great shipbuildlug
establishments of this city Or Chester, who
have had experience in the construction Of
iron ships.
1t would be a sad blow to the revival Of
American commerce If this first effort
should fAill of success on account Of
the quality of the ships, especially as II
has been demonstrated that better ships
can be BUILT here than are ever built OF
the CLYDE.

RattIesnakes Fighting.

Mr.. W. II. Dickson, who lives near Des
Arc, while passing through an old field
grown up with weeds, had his attention
attracted by noise few rods distant,
and went to see what caused 1t. He
discovered two large rattlesnakes lighting,
and watched the battle for some time.
They would raise their heads nearly three
feet from the ground and strike at each
other, inserting their poisonous fangs In
bodies ofcach, aud then release themselves
and do the came thing over again. During
the fight they would occasionally emit a
withholding fluid from their mouths.
Mr.. Dixon shot one Of them aud the other
escaped. He afterwards found the Other
dead near where the battle was fought
One Of them was feet long, large. aud
had II rnttles. The other was feet long
slender, aud had 90 rattles. This lie the
fret time we ever heard Of rattlesnakei
fighting. II Is death to the victor as wei
