A DISAPPOINTMENT OF SHORT DURA-
TON.

The announcement that a gig race was to
take place on Sunday morning at the Bayou
st. John, between two crews Of the Louisiana
Boat Club, attracted to the club house Sc
lect company Of ladies and gentlemen.
Owing to the unexpected absence Of one OF
the competitors, the race was postponed to
the, great disappointment of the friends of
both crews.
However, taking philosophical view Of the
matter, and after few minutes consultation,
the 'boys" determined that if no race was to
take place, a tracy" thing ought to be got
ten up instead-and they did it. They
launched two barges, and, inviting some Of
wards the lake, and in short time the race
was forgotten, and naught but pleasure and
enjoyment was thought of.
We saw some of the .'boys" last evening,
all (the ladies included) enjoyed the excursion
hugely.

well dressed individuals, after quietly taking

to settle some matter Of veracty between
them, and sailed in. What with the dust they
raised and lack Of knowledge on the part Of
the reporter, it was impossible to say whose
nose was punched first, or whose legs went up
and head down. AT any rate there was sor. c
Of fireworks display OF arms and legs for s.,me
time, until the Individual who, as it Ieurnefl

told his genial friend that they Would cali the

CHIEF O'CONN0R AND THE SHIP TOR
NADD.

Editor DemOcrat-Sunday mornings Times
calls public attention to Mr.. OConnors claims
upon the ship Tornado and cargo" for al
legged services rendered In pumping out said
vessel. 1t seems to us that an insuperable
objection to this claim, which must inevitably
result in it's ultimate dismissal In toto by the
United States District Court, has been over
looked by the Times correspondent. 1t is
The fire department, chief and all, being in
the employ of the city of New Orleans a
municipal Corporation, cannot lawfully enter
into any engagements inconsistent with their
contract made, or attempted to be made, in
violation Of their duty to this municipal COR
poratson," must, ON grounds of public policg,
be declared null and DOid, a least as against
themselves. The court cannot, and we are
sure will not, countenance any such agree
ment.
''Esr ta1rpi cdusa non oritur actio''
LII the prior engagement OF the fire depart
ment were with private Individual or q pri-
vate corporation, perhaps the only effect of
the subsequent violation would be to entitle
the prior obligee to ask for damages from the
defaulting contractor, leaving the second con-
tract In full force; but when the first engage
ment is with the State, or fractional part of
q public service, the consequences are very
different. There, we repeat, the public vel
fare and public interest are put in jeopardy !;
they are Illegally dsregarded by the second
dSIo5II6Lt, SeCOiiu REeeHlcilb, tuSfe-
fore, becomes, upon firmly established princi
pies of law, nullity as against the defaulting
contractor.
Mr.. o Connor's libel is, therefore, most likely
to be dismissed with costs.
Another unfortunate circumstance for Mr.
OConnor Is that, in his misguided zeal to
pump out the ship Tornado, he has placed
more that one-half Of the fire department in
this awkward predicament: On The one hand,
his alleged contract with Capt Ellis, being
null and void, they cannot recover anything
from The ship Tornado and cargo. On the
oth . r,d tn they have forfeited fifteen days
broad, equitable ground that no service was
or could be rendered by them to the city
whilst they had abandoned their engine
houses to perform the uninterrupted and er-
hausting fifteen days service in pumping out
the ship Tornado as alleged under oath by
their chief.
Again, it does not seem to have occurred to
Chief O'Connor that a less scrupulous chief
than himself might be tempted to flood and
sink vessel, with a view to pump it out for
the bagatelle Of $4,000. PROCTOR.

FOR THE POOR,

Last evening there was goodly attendance
at ST. Patrick's Church at the grand sacred
concert given by Miss Rosa D 'Erina and the
lecture by Rev. Father Meerschaut, for the
benefit of the poor under the auspices Of the
Society st. Vincent de Paul. Miss Rosa was
in charming voice, and her notes filled the
building amply. Sweet in tone, full in it's
depth and rich in it's musical coloring it made
deep impression on all hearers
The lecture Of Rev. Father Meerschaut was
one Of the most chaste and elegant pieces Of
pulpit oratory heard here for many day.
He chose, and most appropriately, the subject
Of charity for his text. Commencing with
the Old Testament he showed In brilliant
figure and beautiful smile the history Of this
Christian work, and then coming down to the
New Testament, he reviewed at some length
the charity Of Christ, and his injunction to his
followers to follow bis precepts in this regard
He showed how the bread CAST upon the
waters returned, and reviewed the benefac-
tions wrought under the kindly offices of the
st. Vincent de Paul Society.
His lecture was replete with the choicest of
language and elegance OF diction, and was
pronounced one Of the best ever delivered
here. The concert was success.

The complimentary testimonial to Miss

not financially success, although in all other
respects it was.
Schmehl made his one mile fast walk in six
minutes thirty-fve and one-half seconds-the
best time on record-beating his former time,
which was six minutes and forty seconds.
He then came on for the five-rnile fast
walk, and made that in thirty-nine minutes
thirty-one seeonds-the best time on record.
With Miss Wickers, he then came on for
their fast ten-mile walk, he making the first
five miles in thfrty-nine minutes and eight
cen seconds; and the second five in forty -six
minutes three seconds-making the total
time for ten miles, one hour twenty five min
utes and eleven seconds, the best on record
and the total sixteen miles in two hours
eleven minutes twenty-seven and half sec

Miss Wickers made her ten miles. resting
but once for moment in one hour forty-nine
minutes six seconds-the best time on record
for a pedestrienne and at the finish received
rapturous applause from the audience.
