Il is urged by the defendant that the
irhibitions Of the Fifteenth Amendment
against the denial Of the right to vote
OF The citaeasa ofdhe 6 U aiisd States on
account Of race or color. must be held
to apply only to the right to vote at
congressional eiections1 derived from
the United States, aud does not apply
Ia lie right - vote At state or municipal
elections given BY the State.
The E'iftfeLth Amendment was pro-
claimed March 90, 1870, and by act Of
May 81, Ie70, Congress undertook to
exercise, the werssit.undefsbood we're
granted il blythe Amendment, and pass

exptessively that ali citizens OF the

Nothing in the way 81 Interpretation
by the legislative body which itself has
ffamed9 the amendment could be more
significant than this enactment, passed
by Congress immediately upon its adop-
tion. l.o do not hnd in the case cited
from the Supreme Court Anything
opposed 70 that Interpretation. IL
seems clear that when, by the Fifteenth
Amendment, it is declared that the
right Of citizens Of the United States to
vote, shall not be denied orahridged bv
anv state on account of race or color, it
means what Congress understood il TO
mean, The right 70 vote at AL public

It is further urged By the defendantsi
that 10 the Fifteenth Amendment be

JACOB GOLDSTEIN has placed the
yearling colt Todd's McGregor, by
y Cochato, 2:11A, in the stable of Billy
CoVille. This youngstcr don't know a
thing but just plain trot, and is looked
upon as a very high-class yearling.
Blake Watch, the dam of this colt, is
in the stable of Irving G.. STEELE. and
will be given a record this season. She
stepped q mile in 2:30 Tuesday, last
half in Ill, last eighth in 171a seconds.
II. A. Jaeger has placed the chestnut
stallion Henry Bower, by Georgian, in
the stable of Mount Morris. He has a
good way of going this season and
quite a little brush, and acts like he
would go on and trot some in a short
time. If he has anything good, Mount
Morris will get it out of him.
While the classes for the Decoration
Day meeting failed to fill, q good days
sport is ssured at the parlor track at
Hohokus, and several local horses will
be seen in action. Among the number
are Kitty C., Maud F.. 2.27h, and Mac

weight of Philadelphia, had the
better of Jem Driscoll, of Eng
land, last night at the National Athletic
Club, in one of the classiest six-round
contests witnessed in this city for some
time. Driscoll appeared to have lost
some of his former speed n Moore
landed easily two punches to the Eng
lishman's one
Driscoll seemed tired at the end of
the bout, while Moore appeared able to
have gone six more rounds without any
trouble. The Philadelphia surprised
his many friends by the manner he
fought and he also surprised Driscoll
by his fast work, especially at long
range. 1ne Engllshnan uiI not show
the form he did when he fought Abe
Attell in New York, although he kept
TT Moore all through the six rounds.
Moore put up the best fight of his
career and seemed 10 have improved
much since his last bout with Tommy
O'Toole ut the same club. The Phila-
delphian kept up a fast pace and he
fairly rocked the Englishman on nu-
merous occasions with hard left jolts
to the jaw. Driscoll appeared unable
to get inside of Morre's guard, as the
latter easily Warded OIL any Damaging
blows that Driscoil sent his way.
Driscoll had the better of the first
round. but after that Moore improved.
The fight was fast and both men mixed
things up lively,
In the third round Driscoll COM
planned of rough work and Moore was
warned. Moore took the warning but
did not let up in his aggressiveness,
fighting the Englishman all around the
ring.

nine games and lost six, for a percent

league with a mark of .667 and had
won fourteen games and lost seven.
Or the first Western trip Newark won
t~ily four games and lost nine games,
one game ending in a fourteen-inning

Tigers have been a trifie more success

ten. The table showing last years
