JOHN CRoNIN, Secretary.

A STATEMENT.-In regard to the
effort made by Sheriff Cooke to pre-
vent the prize-fght of yesterday,
we have this to say. that being on
the ground. having heard and seen
all that TRANSFERRED. We know that
the action taken by that official was
that OF an honorable and efficient
officer. His protests were in be-
half of peace and order. The ring
not being within the boundary line
of this county, he had no authority
to arrest either the principals or
any of the spectators upon the
grounds that they were violating
the law in that respect. Mr.. Cooke
has been a prompt and faithful Off
GER, all his official actions being
characterized by a determination to
discharge his duties, without fear
or favor. but with justice to all.
