tween New York and Boston birds. Each
side showed eleven birds, weighing from
four pounds to five pounds eight ounces
each. The battles We're for $50 each, and
the odd tight for S400. In the first battle
New l ork showed a black-red and Boston
a handsome pyle. The betting was $50 to
$40 on Boston, but the black-red. after
several buckles, had cut the pyle so badly
that 1t sulked, and lost the fight by being
counted out.
In the second battle New York again
showed a black-red and Boston a dOmi
nick. The birds, being close cutters, sue
ceeded in hacking each other almost to
pieces. The black-red killed his opponent
in & minutes % seconds.
In the third battle New York showed
another black-red and Boston a dark
hackle gray. At the end of 20 minutes of
hard fighting the gray, being almost cut
to pieces, ran away.
For the fourth battle New York put uD
a black-red again and Boston entered a
gray, black-breasted dominick. The New
Workers bet 500 to $50. After hard fight
ing the cocks fell side by side, when the
dominlok managed to find a soft spot, and
sent ms gan through the New York birds
head. Time 81 minutes.
The fifth battle was won by New York
but in the sixth the New York bi;1d was
killed by chance clip. New York won
the seventh battle, Boston breaking his
leg.

THE NORTH SEA HORROR.

All the Cimbria's Boats Accounted For
The Sultan's Omoers In JaiI-The
Damage She Sustained.
HAMBURG, Jan. 23.-Aceording to the
statement of another survivor of the disas-
ter to the steamer Cimbria, as late as 2
O'Clock Friday morning Captain Hansen
received a report that the Cimbria's lights
were all burning properly. The breach
made by the collision was so great
that the Cimbria Immediately lay
right over, with portion of her
deck under water. Upon an attempt
being made to lower the boats one of them
capsized Immediately. The time elapsing
between the crash and the final sinking Of
the Cimpr1a was only a Quarter of an
hour. The 80 persons brought in by the
Theta appear to have been occupants of
two boats. The other batch of II persons
saved were brought in by the Dfamant,
There are also reports Of another lot &c
eleven or Ai9e persons rescued. Thus all
the boats that left the CimhFia are ac-
counted for.
A most searching official inspection of
the steamer Sultan, which ran into the
Cimbria, has been made, from which it an
pears that the damage to her is far more
serious than was at first believed. Ac-
cording to the testimony of competent sea-
faring people, the crew of the Sultan dis
played marvellous cleverness and rapidi-
ty in stopping the leak, and it is scarcely
conceivable how the vessel ever succeeded
in reaching Hamburg, .
FR4NKFORf, Jan, 23.-The Frankfurtey
Journal says the officers of the steamer
Sultan have been placed in jail
LONDON, Jan. pa Berlin dispatch
saysthe survivors of the Cimbria describe
