Side.

What with the recent prize-fght, with
its army of curious followers, balls of the
demi-monde, the races, together with the
long list Of Sunday sports, New Orleans
certainly has no cause to complain of want
of sport-if such they can he termed
The cockpit of New Orleans, an institu-
ton Of our city, which probably every per-
son has not seen, is situated at the corner
OF Roman and Dumaine streets. Here
every Sunday a congregation of some flf-
teen or twenty persons assemble to witness
eight or nine battles, which generally COM
mence about ten o'clock in the morning,
lasting all day. Among its devotees are
representatives from almost all nations,
but principally from the Spanish and
French. The pit is owned By an ex-mem-
Der Of the Legislature, who, together with
Mr.. Claiborne, are looked upon as the
principal cock fighters in the city, and de-
vote considerable attention and money to
the matter.
Occasionally an unusually exciting fight
occurs, as was the case last Sunday morn
ing, resulting in the death Of Mr.. Clai-
bOrne's little chicken after a hard fought
and well contested fight.
Mr.. Paulane, of this city, is looked upon
as the best trainer, and generally has a
number Of game-cocks under his manage
ment for the contests. The next grand
battle for supremacy among the feathered
champions will take place at No. lOl Ram
part street, where, as the flaming posters,
with a miserable woodcut, announce the
great main for $4,000 a side, will take place
on the ninth instant The plucky little
fowls have already arrived in the city;
those of Captain Moore and Mr.. O'Neil
being well cared for at the corner of Clai
borne and Canal streets. These cocks are
mostly natives of kentucky and this State
Those of Messrs. Bacon and Boiler are tC
be found at the Oakland course, and are
entire strangers to our city. They are
however, Southerners by birth, coming
from Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia
The battle ground was formerly stable
owned by the late Colonel James Michigan
and is certainly sadly in need OF repairs
neither the exterior nor interior having {
very inviting appearance.
The pit itself and surrounding seats ar
now being constructed as fast as possible
under the guidance of MIR. Dorse. Thi
gentleman is quite an imporsant personag'
among the devotees Of this peculiar sport
he having the reputation of being the bes
maker of steel gatfs in the United States.
| Thirty-one cocks are to be shown on eac'
side, and no doubt a considerable amour
of money will change hands on the result
| the stake itself being quite an item. 1t wa
| contemplated at first to have the battle
take place on the premises of no less dis
tinguished parsonage than Buffalo Bill,
but after a little consideration Messrs
Moore and O'Neil concluded to erect ii
ore on Rampant street. which will accom-
modate some three or four hundred person
conveniently, The sport will continue sev
eral days. What two gentlemen viii han
die the cocks has not yet been decide
upon, no positions having been assigned a

DEPARTMENT or FINANCE,
City Hall, March %, 1872. !
The bills for city taxes for 1911 levied hv orSi-
nances Nos. 1861, 1852 aud 12.l amounting to ito
per cent. are now ready for delivery at this office.
Payments for the city's proportion will be re.
ceived in certificates OF appropriation, MetropOli-
tan Police warrants and certificates for amount
paid in excess of two per cent on tax bills of 1870.
But the amount due for interest on the bonded
debt must be paid in cash.
Taxpayers reminded tl&t the new charter
makes it the duty of the Administrator of Finance
to collect these bills and that they exigbe by
law before the Legislature can again meet. 1t is
vain hope, therefore, for delinquents TO expect any
relief by delay, for l will assuredly enforce the
law against them in justice to those who pay
promptly. JOHN s. WALTON,
