sportsmen,s AsaoeIatIon,

The first annual tournament and dog
exhibition Of the Tennessee Sportsmen' 8
Association viii be held on the grounds
of the Memphis Agricultural and Me.
chanical Association, near the city, next
week. The Association offers over one
thousand dollars Of premiums as prizes
in the shooting matches, field trials Of
pointers and settlers, and bench shows
From present indications, we are led to
believe that this tournament will be
largely attended by gentlemen from all
sections of the Union. Fine dogs have
already arrived from Canada, New York,
Cincinnati, Louisville, and from various
towns in Tennessee. From this time on
other kennels will arrive and be in readi
ness for the sport. From the Nashville
papers we see that Middle Tennessee
will send her best dogs and crack shots
to this tournament, which invites com
petition from the world. Applications
for entries prior to and after October 7th
must be made to P. H. Bryson, secre-
tary, Memphis, Tenn.

MEMPHIS THEATER. Il The SchumanI
Novelty Troupe appeared before larg,
and elegant audience at the theater las
evening, and presented series of start
ling novelties which were enjoyed ex
ceedingly. The programme presented
was varied and excellent. The enter.
tainment commenced with one Of Tom
LovelPs pantomimes entitled Susan.
mas Lovers, in which Mile Clair
cite and Messrs. Lowell Nash and
Almonte appeared to advantage.
Mons. BeckmanR, the Partisan juggler,
proved himself to be by all odds the
most expert gentleman in his line OF
business that ever visited Memphis. Sig.
Carlo Benedict is perhaps. the great
wonder OF the company; for while nearly
all the other specialists could become
the experts they are by persistent train
ing from early youth, they are not
required to perform seemingly physi-
cal impossibility. He comes upon the
stage armed with long, heavy cavalry
sabre, and forces it dexterously into the
floor, where be leaves it standing. He
then takes into his system light sword;
he subsequently swallows a couple of
blades, and this number he increases to
six, leaving projecting from his mouth
at the same time half dozen hits. He
moves, walks, bends, and has his being
precisely as if the points of six swords
had not found Judgment somewhere in
the vicinity of his stomach. Drawing
the swords from his body, he next pro-
ceeded to measure the cavalry sabre
with himself, and the prospect of his
swallowing it to any advantage seemed
very remote, in view Of its great length;
but he did swallow it, amid enthusiastic
cheers, and was alive at last accounts.
Herr Schultze, the Man of 100 Faces,
is entitled to credit for having at his
command ten times that number at least.
The acrobatic performances of the AL.
monte Brothers and the young Rousselles
were brilliant and daring, and won for
them generous share of the applause
of the evening. The Brown Velocipede
Combination, including Professor Brown,
several young ladies, and bright little
Miss, gave an exceedingly interesting
and graceful performance, and were very
much admired. Don Ferrayra, the
Man-Flute, astonished the audience
with his remarkable flute limitations, by
means of his mouth and hands; and his
performance was encored over and over
again. To describe the various perform.
ances infinitely would require more spa ce
than we can give to the matter; and we
can only advise our readers that thew
cannot afford to remain away. The per.
Torrance closed at late hour With
funny pantomime, called THE B arber."
The Schumann people will dr. aw large
houses during the week, and they deserve
such popular recognition. The pro-
gramme will be changed for this evening.

to arrive. Tonight four new
stars will appear in specially acts, which
will be most pleasing to the public.

The Memphis Fair.


The sixth annual fair o! the Memphi
Agricultural and Mechanical Society,
will commence Tuesday next October
9Th and continue FIVE days. The prizes,
which amount to ffty-6ve hundred dol
lars, are so distributed and arranged as
to make one of the most attractive pre-
MUM lists ever offered by the company.
In their card the directors say that the
liberal premiums offered 10 the Changers
will be the attractive feature of the fair,
in which the ladies will have the largest
share of participation. The individual
premiums offered to ladies for handi-
work will also engage that interest
which they deserve. Producers, horti-
culturists, stock raisers, artists, mechan-
les and manufacturers have ample in
ducements to stimulate their emulations
in the very judicious and sufficient pre-
miums and medals of merit offered BY
the Association. The fair next week
will perhaps be more largely attended
than upon any previous occasion.

Conclusion.

The last three issues of the Pho
neer show conclusively that its edi.
tor is at loss to know which way
to turn or what to do. He says
that he never made any over-char-
ges against the city, and in the
same article he attempts to prove
that it was right and just that he
should and did make the adcance
charges. He must be a privileged
character, inasmuch as he claims
the right to-contract work by the
folio, publish 100 words, and
charge the city for twenty-five
folios. He wishes to adopt new
law of his own, that he may charge
ten lines for folio,-the Statutes
are nothing to him,-he will not be
compelled to take common law for
his guidc,-it is not right, as would
not give him chance for STAT
takes"
Notwithstanding the Pioneer man
denies it,, we still avow that after
the contract for city printing was
drawn up, and before it was signed
by Mr.. Tefft, the City Attorney did
explain to members of the Board,
and that in the Council room, that
a folio was zone hundred words"
The man of the Pioneer is o fit
subject to talk of honesty. He
says it was dishonest in us to
show to the taxpayers who have to
foot the bills, that he was guilty of
taking their money through the
means of over-charges for their
printing, and says that we may be
"happy." We are "happy," and
every man should be "happy" when
he is on the side of justice and
truth. If our neiglbor will adopt
this principle he will be as happy
as q lord. He says his Gloss is too
small to sensibly effect any one"
Then why all this purgcry to make
the amount larger, and the whining
and snarling because of the "loss!"
The fact is he has entrapped him
self in a snare that he cannot easily
extricate himself from, and Is div
ing at one and another, in his vain
endeavor to attract the attention of
the public in different channel
than its natural course. He has
tried hard to show the people that
So was an exhorbitant price to pay
for cord of wood cut and deliver
ed on the second floor of build
ing, and finding that he could make
no capital from that, he maliciously
abuses the members Of the board
foe their contracts and amounts.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1874-02-24

paid for doing work for the city,
when these amounts are no more
than previously paid. Everything
was all right with hin, so long as he
was the city printer, but as soon as
the council were certain that he
perpetrated such gross charges
against the people, and the print
ing was taken from him, then, in
his opinion, the Common Council of
the city of Alpena were set of
rascals.
We feel as do the public con-
corning the attempted indications
of the editor of the Pioneer, which
can be no better expressed than by
the language Of Shakespeare:
"And can you by no drift of circumstance,
Get from him why he puts on this confusion;
Grating so harshly all his days of quiet
With turbulent and dangerous lunacy 2"
Now we have determined to close
our controversy in regard to the
public printing. We have given
facts that defy contradiction, that
the public had been wrongfully
dealt with by the editor of the Pio-
ncer, and that we were right in our
accusations is fully acknowledged
by our opponent; but he has made
some very poor attempts to show
the people that it was "right and
just to pulpetrate a wrong" and in
so doing, he has made a bad matter
worse, even acknowledging more
than we had supposed him really
guilty of; and he is evidently of
the opinion that because some one
before him was guilty of the same
crime, he would of course be equal
ly entitled to do likewise. But the
people do not and will not take
such shadows of excuses, and their
verdict in the matter, and that from
his own showing, he is guilty"
We have said all that is necessary
on the subject, have proven our
assertions, and thus shown up the
corruption, SO we now drop the
matter, having done our duty as a
journalist.
