When ii gained two feet in favor OF the
Swedes, the Germans clinched their teeth,
and putting all the steam they were pos

spot on the rope was noticed to waver and
gradually it came back again to its former
position. After thirty minutes Of hard and
vigorous pulling the Germans managed to
regain their lost ground, and both teams re-
manned on an equal footing so TO speak.
The excitement was then intense, and the

spot rather, lowered in the balance. The
captains of the teams watched every move
of their opposing forces, and whenever they
saw the least opening to gain an inch they
signaled their men to make an attack.
1t was thought that. owing to the great
race the Germans gave the Scotchmen on
Saturday night, they would handily

Democratic Meeting Addressed by Ex-Prest-
dent Cleveland.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-When Grover Ceve-
land was a Presidential candidate in 1854
leading men of his party on the Produce
Exchange organized Business Mems As
sociation," which was very active. The or
gauization was maintained, and last winter
Incorporated as a New York Democratic
Club. Under its aus pices campaign meet
ing was held IN Madison Square tonight, at
which Il series of resolutions of bitter tenor
regarding the loss of the Worlds Fair to
New York and other topics we're passed.
EX-Pre>iGent Cleveland was then intro
duced as Chairman, and spoke In substance
as follows:
Those engaged in business pursuits have
kept tOJ much aloOf from public affairs and
too generally acted upon the theory that
neither their duty as citizens nor their per
sonal interests required Of them any habltual
participation in political movements.
This Indifference and inactivity have
resulted in 4 loss TO the public service.
The eX-President said he is firmly of
the belief that If a few business men could
be substituted for professional men in Off
cal places the people would positively gain
by the exchange. Mr.. Cleveland had some
thing to say about tine proper adjustment of
the tariff, the economical administration OF
State affairs and the pTeludlclal Republican
plan Of Shrieking throughout tue State the
demerits aad dangerous prOclIvltles OF a
certain organization whose members sup
port the principles and candidates of the
Democratic party. Even if all they alleged
against this organization were true the
perils they present are baSelesS and absurd.
Every man ought TO satisfy himself whether
the principles aud the candidate of a party
are such rs ne approves" Mr.. Cleveland
closed with reference to the purity of Mr..

of the other candidates.

The natives of the Green Isle were not

through the Saxons' hands, and the white

moved a few inches, however, when 1t re-
mained In a stationary position.
A shout rang out when the three-hun-
dred-p0und anchor man on the Irish team
was seen 10 move muscle. His men
pulled and tugged awkwardly. and ex-
hausted much of their strength by sway
ing motion, which did not assist them any.
The English lads remained on the defen-
sive, so to speak, and refused to yield an
inch whenever the 0ppostlOnlStS made an
effort to win an inch.
The fact that the Irish and English teams
were opposing each other created quite
strong freling of interest among a large
percentage of the spectators who hailed
from either country, and both teams had
strong supporters, who cheered every ad-
vantage gained.
The captain of the English team positiOned
himself alongside the Hibernians' anchor
man aud signaled his men by means OF
head signs. The captain of the Irish team
took a similar position on the English side,
and Signaled his men by hand motions.
After one hours hard pulling the Irish
men made the effort of their lives, and inch
by inch the rope went their way slowly,
the white sign was pulled over the cleats,
and as it was drawn under the mark the

Germany VS.. Sweden.

The first tug of the evening was between
the Swedes and Germans. 1t was exactly
o'clock when the referee dropped hand
kerchief, which was the signal for the
struggle. Max Fenner. the pugilis better
known as the Terrible Swede," was the
end man on the Swedish team. He settled
himself down to heavy piece of work.
Captain Purdy looked after the Sw edes'
interests and the moment the rope was
drawn taut began giving his men instruc-
tions. They seemed to pull as if distressed,
although it was noticed that there was a
marked improvement in their style over
the previous evening. The German Cap
tain took matter very easy and smiled pleas
antly when his men gained the least adyan-
tage.
The anchor man on the Swedes' side evil
dently "caught on" to the style which pro-
fessional ug-of- war men term "the proper
thing" Instead IF stretching himself in
cramped position on the cleats lie adopted
the Scottish style of sitting up and keeping
a close eye on the opposing forces. The

German side also took a sitting position,
but seemed to exert himself terribly, for his

Norway va. Canada.

After spirited air by the Park Band the
Norwegians and Canadians took possession
of the platform. Both teams were Justify
cheered as they came on deck to the ma
tiona air of their native lands. Before the
struggle was begun representative of the
Scottish team stepped up to the referee and
made protest against the Canadians, be-
cause, as he alleged, they had substituted
new men for those who originally COM
posed the team. The Norwegians, how
ever, did not protest and the match went on.
The pistol cracked Mt 9:04 O'Clock and the
struggle began. The Canadian anchor
man, who was as cool as an iceberg, took
solid position at the stern and never made
move until the Norwegians had gained
about one inch Of rope in their favor.
Finally he was heard to shout Come on,
come along nowl" and the rope cracked as
the terrible strain on it told the effect OF the
great struggle.
The white spot on the rope, which at
tracted SO many eyes, did not bulge an
inch, however, and both sides settled down
to an easy gait, the captains watching like
cats the positions of the enemy" Occa-
sionally the Norwegians would make des-
perate effort TO gain point, but their
''attack' was met stubbornly by the gallant
Canadians, who had positiOned themselves
in such an excellent manner that the team
pulled as one man.
Thirty,minutes passed and the NOrwegians
had gained about two inches. The Canadi-
ans were evidently taking matters easy and
