The racing season in England is virtually
at an end, with most of the classic events
credited to America, such as the EPSON
Derby, the Dorcaster st. Leger, the Cesar
witch, and the Cambridgeshire, backed up
and given force to by victories for the New
market Derby, st. James Palace stakes, Prince
of Wales Stakes, and other minor events.
While the results of the entire season have
been particularly grateful to Americans, it
was left for the CLOSING week for the crowning
achievement of the season, Foxhall's victory
in the Cambridgeshirc handicap, run
Tuesday last. In commenting upon the
telegraphic report of this race, the following
morning. we said:
1.-The victory of Foxhall above recorded
stamps him the best 3-year- old of the year on
either hemisphere. Following his victory for
Grand Prize of Paris, he has added to his vic
tories two of the most important events of
the English turf, the Cesarwitch and Cam
briigeshire, with two or three others of minor
Importance. The Cambridgeshire
has now been run forty three times, and but
once before had it been captured by the Cesar
witch winner, by Roseberry in 1876. Rose
berry, though capital horse, got into the
Cesarwitch with only 103 pounds, low
fourteen pound penalty, III pounds in the
Cambridgeshire, while tho 3-year Foxall car
ried 112 pounds in his Cesarwitch victory, and
l26 pounds in his race yesterday"
This brief comparison very forcibly exhibit
ed the high character of Foxhall's perfor-
nance, but the farther the comparison is ex-
tended, the more brilliant it appears. Thus
we find by the record thas the highest weight
previously carried by a winner was 12l pounds
by the 4-year-old Lanercost in the inaugural
year of the stake, while the highest weighted
three -year-olds who have won this race were
see-Saw, la pounds, Jongleur 116 pounds,
while Blue Gown, years, with 126 pounds
the same weight carried to victory by Foxhall
ran second to See-Saw, and the performance
was heralded by English turf authorities as
the greatest performance ever made, and Blue
Gown pronounced the greatest horse England
had produced in a century.
Upon this point the New York World, most
excellent turf authority, has the following
comments, in connection with which it gives
table of the winners of the Cesarwitch and
Cambridgeshire stakes since this organization,
which mostly forcibly illustrates the greatness
of Foxhalrs performance, ard fully justifes
our assertion that be is the best year old OF
the year Of either hemisphere, TO which we
invite attention.
''That both races have been won by a good
class of horses, readers of the World can see
by glance at the table below, which includes
names of some of the best horses ever bred II
England and France, none of which carried
anything like the weight of Mr.. Keene's colt

Ross and Whistler Make a Match.

Shortly after midnight Mr.. Ross and Mr.
Whistler, and their respective friends, were
brought together in the restaurant of W. R.
Booth, when, after a good deal of talk in
which more or less bad blood was exhibited, a
wrestling match was arranged between the
two principals above named, to come off in
st. Paul within the next ten days, for $3.50 a
side with the privilege of
increasing the amount to $500 side if mutu
ally agreed upon. The winner in addition is
to have the door receipts after paying expen-
ses. A forfeit of 800 was put up in the
hands of the stakeholder last night by each
of the contestants, the balance of
the stake to be deposited be-
fore time is called for the first
bout in the match. The match is to consist
of two collar and elbow falls in harness, two
catch-as-catch can falls, and one Graco-Ro-
man fall, the party getting the odd number to
athletes in their contests will not need
to be told that the struggle will be most ex-
citing and stubbornly contested, and the result
extremely doubtful. The collar and elbow in
harness style of wrestling is Ross favorite,
while Whistler does not acknowledge
his superior in the catch-in-catch-
can style, SO that it is almost
O certainty that the Gr@co-Roman fall will
decide the match, and in that the two men ap-
pear to be very evenly matched. The Opera
house or the Athen@um should be secured, SO
that all spectators can have an opportunity to
see. Either building will be filled without a
question.

Court met Friday morning at 10 O'Clock.
The Levy case which excited a good
6ell of interest Thursday, drew a good
audi, nee Friday morning in anticipation
ct verdict.
Messrs. Higgins and Patterson agreed
to let the case go to the jury without
argument. Judge Bradford charged them
to the effect that the governments whole
case depended on the testimony of Henry
Goldsiine. A great many witnesses were
produced to discredit his testimony. II
the Jury did not believe Goldstine they
must give their verdict for the defendant.
aud even if they had doubt as to the
truthfulness of Goldstine they must decide
for the defendant.
The Jury then withdrew, and the Dis
trict Attorney asked the Court to postpone
the consideration of another indictment
against Levy until the next term. His
grounds were that he would like to look
up other evidence in this case. He told
the counsel for the defence that he would
in no future case rely on the testimony OF
Goldstine, and if his motion were granted
| by the Court the defense need not find
evidence to counteract any testimony
Goldsiine might be able to give. 1t would
not be any hardship on the defendant.
Mr.. Higgins opposed this on the ground
that it would be a great injustice to the
defendant to postpone trial under thit
| indictment. The defendant Was a stranger

WYrHEvILLE, Va, Jan. 13 -Informa-
tion has just been received here of u
murder at y society party In Ashe county.
James Gentry aud Dory Dickson attended
the gathering, and Gentry made himself
rather more agreeable to one of the young
ladies present than was pleasant to Dick
son, who made some Offensive remark
before her He was instantly called out
side by the offended youth and taken to
task for his impertinence. Hot words
followed and several of the ladies ap
preached near enough to hear the talking
and what could be gathered it seems that
Gentry was endeavoring to show his
companion how contemplate his course
had been and how little cause he had to
be jealous of the young lady's attentions.
Dickson who had imbibed freely OF
liquor, would not be appeased and draw
ing large dirk knife drove it into the
side of Gentry several times. He was
found later, lying on the snow, dead,
with half dozen deep wounds in his
chest and side. The murderer fed after
the preparation of the deed, but was
afterward captured and committed to Jail
The men were highly connected and
each was about 20 years of age.
