A sheep killing match took place yesterday
afternoon at the Shooting park, Newark, be-
tween Patrick Fitzgerald, who claims the
title of the champion sheep dresser of New
York city, and Henry O'Brien, the champion
sheep dresser of Newark. Tho men were
matched to kill and dress ten sheep each for
$3.50 side, tho sheep being supplied by q
Newark butcher. The contest took place in
an inclosed square, in which there were two
platforms. with all the accessories of the
sheep dressing trade. About 500 persons
were present to witness the match. The
conditions were that each sheep should be
thoroughly dressed.
Shortly after o'clock the two men stepped
into the inclosure dressed in flannel suits and
with knives and steel in their leather belts.
They were followed by their helpers.
Butchers from New York, Williamsburg,
| Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark cheered
the contestants. Two judges were selected
for each man. The sheep were then taken to
the PLATFORM whore their throats were cut by
the helpers At given signal the two
dressers went to work. The New Yorker
was first to dress sheep which he had on
the hooks in less than three minutes,
but he failed 70 observe some of the re-
quirements of the match. OBrien made clean
work with his first animal. Fitzgerald had
his second sheep on the hooks first, and when
he hung up his fourth o. Brien was just begin
ming to dress his third. In thirty-one min
utes from tho beginning of the match the
New Yorker finished his tenth and last sheep,
but he had to go over the ten carcasses again
and remove some of the entrails. When he
had finished and O'Brien had his last sheep in
| hand he hung il on the hook two minutes Of
| terward, losing the match and stakes. There
was considerable betting, and some of the
New York butchers left for home with good
winnings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE BACTERIA MUST GO.
~. a.. I.Vsga.


In your editorial comments in Saturdays
REPUBLICAN on the investigations and dis
coveries Of my friend, DIR, Gregg, of Buffalo,
you say: "Dr. Rollin II. Gregg, the medical
pundit who has been pursuing the germs that
are supposed to cause various diseases, has
just announced in Buffalo, that after boiling
n washed clot of blood he has discovered that
all the bacteria of disease arc forms of
1brin," &c. This is, in tho main, correct,
and yet IL may not very clearly convey tho
idea to the reading public. DIR. Gregg, with
whose views | most heartily coincide, does
not believe in the gorm theory of disease per
SO, but that tho bacteria which are now so
orally supposed to bo the cause of disease are
nothing more or less than the fbrin of tho blood
changed by d seaso conditions or, in other
words, are result instead of the cause of dis
case, and this is undoubtedly true as they
are never found in q normal state of the
blood or outside of the diseased organism. 1t
is a pity to destroy the pet theory of the
germ origin of disease. but the bacteria
must go.' &. PEARSON, NJ. ID.

A SUGGESTION FOR THE LOUISVILLE CON-
vENTIoN. A
10 thc Editor.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 1o-The Ma
tional Colored convention that is to assemble
in Louisville on tho twenty-fourth instant
can do at least one grateful act by appointing
committee to solicit contributions for the
purchase of the house on Tenth street in this
city in which tho great martyr and emanci-
pator drew his last breath, with view of es-
tablishing museum dedicated to tho memory
of Abraham Lincoln. The initiatory steps
can be taken as indicated above. This one
act, if carried to a successful conclusion,
would immortalize tho members of the con-
vention in the memory of the people Of this
country and the same time the colored Amer
leans would bo putting their fealty and grati-
tude into practical shape. E. IL. DEAs.
