Knoxville Chronicle The universal
boom which is sweeping over the entire
land seems to have struck the business
of the East Tennessee, Virginia & GeOr-
gia Railroad broadside, and everything
connected with their business is boom
ing at healthy rate, putting the enter
prising management to their utmost en-
deavors to keep up with it. Clerks in
the freight depot are given just as much
as they can do, handling the immense
quantities of freight which are being
received and shipped. All trains have
more than one section, and extra trains
are being run. Every engine, freight
car, and employee on the line are kept
busy, with hardly time to stop for rest
and meals, and still the boom is increas-
ing. 1t gives US pleasure to note such
encouraging signs.

4 MAIN LAST MIGHT.

There was q cockiug-main in Chicago last
evening, and although the utmost paius were
taken to guard against the locality, they failed,
so far as TuE TRIBUNE was concerned. The
affair was gotten up By several Of 1.-THE boys II
on the Board Of Trade, who communicated the
place OF meeting to their friends under pledge
OF the most solemn secrecy. The result Of all
the whispering was that last evening
about sixty OF Chicago's best known
citizens gathered in the basement OF
u builling in the heart OF the city, and witness
ed si1 as fine battles as the most enthusiastic
lover of the sport could wish. The birds were
furnished by well-known breeder of tins city,
aud we're fought under the manipulation Of two
experienced hcelers aud handlers None OF the
battles were worthy Of special mention (al-
though all we're cood), except the second and
last. In the aforementioned the contestants
were blacl-rcd und gray, each Weighing 46.
In the third round the gray was coupled,
but he struggled gamelr on until twenty
minutes had passed, finally succumbing TO a
neck blow. The last fight was between couple
Of da1k-rcds, aud although one Of them nad
leg broken early in the battle, he refused to be
killed, and finally, rather than see SO game
bird sacrificed, his backoEs gaVe up their money.

ers. and, to compel them to waste half the after
noon and tire themselves out in vain endeayor

unjust. What ProtcInc should have is u class

For the benefit OF the CINCINNATI Commercial
1t may be said that the sheet published in this
city that Is making war on President Edwards,
OF the National Association. is neither patr7nizcd
nor read by horsemen Of the better class. None
OF the so-czlled sporting journals Of this citY
amount to row OF pins.
The roam mare Nancy Hackett, that obtained
a record Of 2:20 at Utica last year, and injured
her hip so severely that she was listanccd, has
since then been kept at the Utica track, it being
impossible to ship her home. Not long since,
having so far recovered as to be able to walk,
sne became playful while being led by groom,
and again sprained the sore ltnb. It will now
be be1mpossibie to move her before spring.
