a fair compensation, but for making
the returns on the following Mon day

Now, the ia tice that was bestowed
upon the dishonest clerks of the pas,
should certainly not be wanting in

clerks Of to-day. However, it is no
fault Of the Department OF Elections
that these msn are ,quired to work

The Sleeping Match.

The entries to the great 142-hour sleeping
match now number six. DEBOIs, BENSON,
MACKN, KELLY. WILKINSON, and RYAN all
profess to be sleepers Of immense endurance,
and all very eager to prove their superiority
In a general contest.
The tournament should be held soon.
Madison Square Garden. the scene Of tho
most famous six-day matches and the hard
est glove fights, will before long be sacrificed
for other purposes. What worthier ending
Of its career could the Garden have than
that the sleeping winner of this most orig
inal and interesting competition should, as
tho close Of the 142d hour strikes, be walked
to consciousness, victory, and glory by tho
clink OF the hammers which should wreck
and finally dismantle the walls where his
triumph was achieved?
New York will sorrow for the Garden, but,
II it must GO. we could wish it no better fate
thant to fade away beneath the uninterrupt-
ed memory of so grand an experiment as tho
sleeping match.
