Crowley's pet was thru pitched lu. and ho was In no way backward lu getting down to work. One after another he ills pitched with lightning rapldltj. nnd anon the whole ten were Ijlngln the la-t ngon'es of death ui the floor. He finished In Just three uiltiiitee and ten eci ends.

After the dead had been removed, ten more were tumbled In and Colllna's dog sent after them. As soon as he dropped In he stood still for a lecotul, and then made a break at a big fellow that was running b), giving him one toss and landing blm a dead rat outside the pit.

This match rt an for side, and a large turn of money as put up on the result. Moore sent In lilt dog first, and a brighter little animal never entered a pit. He weighed but sixteen ounces.

He made a dash at the heap of rats huddled up in one corner. One after another he caught up, gave them one shake and then threw them over to tho other side of the pit. The last one gave him the slip twice, but lie finally nailed hliu and finished his work lu three minutes and flftv seconds. Hurley's bulldog was thru put lu, but he was not so active as Ids opponent, and though killing all he did not finish short of four minutes and eleven seconds. Moore was to elated over Ids victory that he asked the whole party to Join him lu a drink.

Ilurke's dog wat nothing very remarkable In fact, after killing two or three, he stood still, and had to be driven to his work. He finished in live minutes aud twenty si nils.

The terrier then took a turn, and he made hot work for the gra backs. It seemed a l( he uld not handle them fast ci.o igli. and finished bis loat victim lu two mttiotc and forty seconds.

Yesterday morning, tho bouts had secured a goodly number of passengers, and both itarted at the same time.

As the Tiger Lily and the Catlln ore opposition boats, thero exists some rivalry between the two Captains as to who shall reach their dsstlnatlon first. When nearlng tbe Harlem draw bridge, through which the boats have to. pass to High nrldge, the Tiger Lily had the best of the lead, but the pilot ot the Catlln thought be could head her off and made a ihort cut, tunning into the Lily and forcing her against the abutments of the bridge. Her smoke-stack was broken off, her idiot houte destroyed, and the fore part of tho hurricane deck was oarrled an ay. A scene of terror and confusion ensued.

Large volumes of smoke and steam escaped, and a cry was raised that the boat was on fire. Moiiih attempted to Jump overboard, and others climbed Into the Catlln. Women and children creamed, and soveral persons falnied, Atslst-ance was promptly at hand, and order vvaa obtained and an opportunity given the passengers tu disembark. The Catlln proceeded 1111 her mrney to High Ilrldge. while the Tiger Lily la towed to Astoria, where she will hava to undergo thorough repair.

As usual, each of the pilots lays the fault to the other's carelessness, and damages havo already been claimed from the onncrs nt tho Catlln. Had tho accident occurred Inter In tlio day, when tho boats on Sunday are crowded in every' part, many lives mutt have been sacrificed. An Inquiry will be made.
