William O'Brien, one of the best known members of the sporting fraternity here, died in the Flatbush Hospital this morning, at the age of 33, of acute mania, preceded by epilepsy.

He was the promoter of the six days' go-as-you-please matches. He trained M'Caffrey for his famous fight with Sullivan. He also trained the latter for their next fight, which the police stopped. When taken ill ho was intending to go to New Orleans to bet ou Dempsoy. TUFTS OF THE TURF.

II. Faohruasi, the owner of Alicante, has given 200 to the poor of Pans. During his slay at Monte Carlo, the Priuce of Wales is to be the guest of Sir Frederick Johnstone. Konley (3 years), by Marden Nightingale, died at Newmarket on Tuesday from inflammation of the bowels. Marion and Navigator left their training Quarters at Le wes on Wednesday for their owner's place at Londonderry, Ireland.

Mr. AbinRton'8 Jason, trained by Tom Cannon, is eaid to be a splendid chaser. He must be ticked dangerous for the Grand National if the weight suits. J. Page may be eaid to have pracacally recovered from the accident he met with six weeks ago, and has been riding horses at exercise on the straw beds for Priuce, of Lewes.

Lord Zetland is said to have a very promising candidate for the important races in Grammont, by St. Simon Margarita. Through an accident the colt was prevented from running last year as a two-year-old. A most successful rat-killing match took place at Mr. John Harpies', Campo lane, on Wednesday, Mr.

Kotherham's dog, Jim, having killed 50 rats in the short time of 4min. 25sec. Mr. Rotherham challenges bis dog to kill 50 or 100 rats any dog in Eng-lund. It seems the Paris Jockey Club answers more to the London Turf Clnb than to the English Jockey Club, and, as a matter of fact, only a very small number of the members concern themselves in any way with racing affairs.

The establishment is really a place for lonnsing, gossiping, dining, and, above all. gambling. At Newmarket yesterday thote was a heavy snowstorm. On the racecourse tide Cannon's Benbnrb, The Skipper, Carthusian, Ctimea, Stoni-wick, Touch and.

The ropes and stakes were padded, and altogether it was an ideal place for a -feht. The ring was surrounded at a distance of four feet by a fence of barbed wire as a precaution itgainst any in-t jrference on the part of the onlookers. The amphitheatre, from all parte of which an excellent view was obtained, was filled with some 4500 people, who included the leading citizens of tbis city, and a large sprinkling of tbe most prominent sportsmen of the country. It was found ab six o'clock in the evening that FitzSimmons was a pound over weight, and he was therefore sent out in the company of his trainer to work down this surplus. The final weighing took place in tho presence of tbe audience, whan the New Zealandor scaled and the American 147jlbs.

Both men looked in perfect form, but Dempsey. who was four inches shorter thau his opponent, seemed to be quite overshadowed by the ungainly, awkward-looking giant stripping before him. FitzSimmons was in fine condition, his skin being clear and his eyes bright. Demp-ev'a second were Jack McAuliffo, Gas. Tnthill, and Mike Conler.

while his opponent's supporters were Jimmy Carroll and Dick O'Connell. The referee wae Mr. Alexander Brewster, a prominent citizen of New Orleans, the choice of whom was pleasing to both sides. Before the fight Dempsey was tie favourite, tbe betting being 5 to 4. The men entered the ring nt 8.55, FitzSimmons being the first to appear.

Dempsey offered a wsger of lOOOdols, whtoh Major M'Laugbiin, a millionaire and a director of the Califoruiau Athletic Club, wished to take. The Olympic officials, however, refused to allow it, and the bet was declared off. Time was called at 9.25, aud tho men then shook hands, and got to work without delay. First Round. FitzSi-amous led off, hitting bis opponent a bluw with bis leit hand, to which Dempsey responded with his right.

The Australian then followed Dempsey round the ring, the latter acting on the defensive all the time, and the ronnd ended with even hor.onrs. Second Roond. The Australian made a spirited and a rapid exchange of blows ensued, FitzSimmons having a little advantage. Third Round. FitzSimmons continued to take the offensive, and it was then seen that Dempsey was weakening under the active attack of his opponent.

Eventually FitzSimmons got in a blow with his right hand wnich sent the American down. FqPRTH Round. FitzSimmons, resuming tho s-ino tactics, drove Dompsey round the ring, but received a vicious blow in the stomach. Ho retor with a blow with bis right inDompsay's mouth, followed by several with both hands in the face and stomaoh. Fipth Round.

FitzSimmons got a terrible blow home on Dempsey's nook. Sparring at lone range followed, in the American showed well. Sixth Round. On coming up Dempsoy bore the marks of several of the blows he bad received. Tho Australian again drove him round the ring, hittinK him repeatedly, and Dempsey clinched to save himself.

The latter then placed a severe lf.ft-hauded swinging blow, and followed it up with his right. Meanwhile, however, ho received several heavy blows on the hea j. in consequence ot which he seemed groggy when time was called. Ssvknth Round. FitzSimmons got two blows in with his left on Dempsey 's face, and an ugly blow on the body with his right.

He forced the American to the ropes, where severe fighting occurred, and. the latter again clinched. FitzSimmouM then dealt his opponent a severe blow in the atomach, and Dempsey fell ou the ropes. On rising he saeiued unsteady, his nose was bleeding, and altogether he looked beaten. Eighth Round.

Tho Australian hit Dempsey on the nose, but the latter retaliated a severe blow with his right. FitzSimmons then made an upper cot, which caught Dempsey 011 the nose, and gave another blow in the same place a moment later, caus PRINCE OF WALES' STAKES. 10 30 10 30 Warlaby a Torchlight a Woodland a Albertus 6 10 30 Dalwhiunie 4 Heckberry 4 Favonian 3 Rnlliaaus 3 Lorgnou 3 Tudor 3 wanton 3 Gavotte 3 Figlia 3 Floreuce II 3 Madame Neruda 3 Orwell St. Peter Red Eagle Lord George Cromartie Spotted Beauty.

However, the friends of Mr. Ga were extremely confident that he would turn the tables, and.

the sympathy generally went with him, as ho had only to gain one more victory to become the absolute poises-tor of the cup. There was a little betting before tho trt, and odds of 7 to 4 on Gaskell could easily have Been obtained.

As so often happens, Courtney, who was playing in finer style than his opponent, had much better luck, and iu the first hour and a half's play it can be said without any injustice corner, where some close fighting was seen.

Ihe American, although evidently unsteady, seemed to die hard.

Marker, Mr. Maddy, local (secretary of the Amalgamated Society aud Mr J.J. Soarrow, local secretary of the General Kail way Workers' Union. There was a very good attendance. The CHAIRMAN, who was received with cheersi said they were met to express their sympathy with their fellow workmen in Scotland.

It at a very hopeful 6ign of the times when they knew that wages questions were not confined to the to in which a struggle happened to take place, but when such struggles did arise, the heart of the whole community of working men was stirred to its centre in sympathy with those who were struggling and suffering. (Hear, hear.) It was said by the directors that the matter bad come upon them too suddenly that due notice onght to have been griveu them, and then, perhaps, they miitht have thought more favoarably of the claims of the meu. Ae a fact the railway servants for the last 12 or 15 months had been continually placing their before the Scotch companies. (Hear, hear. They had known all the time what the men required, and had they been disposed they bad had every opportunity of meeting tbem.

(Cheers) When they considered that the Scotch servants worked on an average 15 hour, per day, was it not time that something was done (Hear, hear.) They only asked for a ten day, and was tLat too much to ask (Cheers.) (t was in a time oi good trade that a workman should take his stand aud claim what he considered to be his just due. The Scotchmen also asked that time-and-a-qoarter should be paid for overtime and for Sunday work time-and-a-half. In his judgment, as an old trades unionist, such a cluim was most reasonable, and no one who caret oily considered the question would, he believed, say otherwise. (Cheers.) Let them also remember that the Scotchmen were not so well paid ae the Sheffield men and the English workmen on the railways. Their wages were some 25 per cent, less than here.

(Cries of It was time the Englishmen stood by the side of those who suffered, and took their jiart. (Cheers.) They heard a great deal about their boasted civiliiation. but he should like to know where the tiacos of it were to be fonnd in this straggle. The directors rlaimed that interest on capital was of greater value t.hau the health, comfort, education, leisure, and even life of the toiler. (Hear, hear.) What opportunity had a railway servant of improving his mind (a Voice None of attending to the interests of his family, or of bettering his position in any way The attitude assumed by the directors was a direct stroke against the moral unit intellectual improvement of the working community.

(Hear, hear.) Was it in harmony with education that men in the position of the directors should resort to what ho would term brute force I'hoy were doing that, for they were exercising their might, aganist right. (Cheers.) The directors admitted that the men had grievances to complain of some ot them had been remedied. "Micro were others they were prepared to meet if reasonable, but insisted that, first of all, the meu must return to their work. Ho alluded, amidst cheers, to the contribution of 2b from Lord Kipon, and to Iris opinion that the position taken by the directors vs unwarrantable and unjust, and said it should stir the heart of the working population of this country in sympathy with the men who are tried aud trampled upon (Cheers.) He was not a supporter of strikes as a rule, but preferred arbitration, and he urged that the dispute in Scotland should have been so tiled. It wae not alone Scotchmen for whom they were pre- Eared to secure fair hours aud wages for their work ut if they were properly supported they would show how it wae possible to work the matter to the advantage and general good of the whole oi the working community.

(Cheers.) Mr. J. KELLf was then asked to address the meeting. He read a telegram just received from the seat sf war, saying, wj here ckCsrmfced. Here blacklegs captured.

Trkttic Paper accounts inaccurate. We mean to win this fight." (Cheers.) Ho then moved, That this meeting entirely sympathises with the Scotch railway men on strike, and pledges itself to do all in its power to support the morally and financially. Also condemns the unfair reports which are appealing in the press (oheeis) aud the heartless evictions at the point of the bayonet at Motherwell." (Cheers.) That meeting, be understood, represented tho trades uniouists of the town, and to them he would say that the movement in Scotland was nothing more nor less than a blow at trades unionism. (Cheers.) The directors complained that the strike Lad been sprang upon them. Nothing of the kind.

For 15 months the Scotchmen had been asking for a ten-hours day. Now they worked 16, 18, 20, aud even 26 hours at a stretch. They wore enjoying a little better conditions in Sheffield, and they were bonnd to suppoit the Scotchmen and so clear the way for securing further benefits themselves, which wore bound to follow. (Hear, hear.) He characterised the men who had gone to work on tho Scotoh lines as the halt and the lame, and said the public wore becoming aware of their incompetonce by the accidents which were occurring, and soon they would refuse to trust their lives to t-arber's flerks. (Laughter.) He alluded to the cruel eviction, at Motherwell, and said the action of tho directors in that matter had turned the stream of public sympathy in favour of tbe men.

(Hear, hear.) The men were now asking for a ten hoars day, but that wculd not settle the difficulty. Scotland was becoming honeycombed with trades unions, and if the Scotchmen were supported now they wonld in the day of trial support the men in Sheffield. One company that had to do with Sheffield could give their men iu Manchester, Liverpool, and London a ten hours day, but they expected the Sheffield men to work on an average 15 hours a doy. The company had been petitioned to reduce the hours to 60, and had given a blank refusal. It would not be a petition from the meu next time it would be a demand.

(Cheers.) He hoped the men in Sheffield would snpport their organisation, as by that means they would best secure their demands. The Scotchmen were now really lighting their battle, and he hoped the Sheffield men would assist them in briuging it to a successful issue. (Lond cheers.) Mr. S. MADDY seconded the motion, remarking that the struggle now going on was one of life and death, not only for the Scotchmen, bnt for railway servants everywhere.

Mr. A. M'LEOD, who was received with applause, supported the motion. Ho reminded the meeting that the English directors were supporting the Scotch directors, and it was for the men here to support the inen there. It was undoubtedly a life and death struggle, and he was certain that death wonld be preferable to surrender.

(Cheers.) There never was a struggle between capital and labour when the men had such mighty odds against them, aud yet their position was stronger now than it was the day they came oat. (Cheers.) Tho men were not asking for more wages, although they aie paid from 20 to 30 per cent, less than the English railway servants. They were simply asking for a redaction in their hours of toil. He gave examples of the excessive hours men bad had to work, aud said with many of tbeui their life consisted of bed and work. He expressed the opinion that whenever another strike took place it would be anational affair (cheers) and he hoped the time would come when ail labour, skilled and unskilled, would be so nnitta throughout the kingdom that it could be called out and nil industry stoppej.

At the present time railway traffic in Scotland was paralysed, aud the directors were losing from 10,000 to 15,000 per week, but tiev preferred that with ail tho inconvenience to conceding the just demands of the men. If they wero starved out now they had another card to play. There was a member of Parliament wbo was prepared to block all railway private bill legislation at their request. Ho referred to Mr. Cuningbamc Graham, and he wonld do it fcr them.

(Cheers.) He concluded with an earnest appeal to the men of Sheffield to support the men on strike Mr. THOMAS SHAW, in suppoiticig the motion, aid that meeting represented thousands in Sheffield who sympathised with the meu out on strike. He urged that they must be supported, and must win, not for their own takes alone, but for the sake of trades unionism throughout the country. (Cheers.) The resolution was put and carried uaani nously, and after some remarks from Mr. Btogham ami thanks to tbe speakers and chairman, the meeting terminated.

During the present sittings of her Majesty's High Court of Justice, Bays the Sporfstnan, will come on for hearing the action which is being brought by Lord Penrhyn, a member of the Jockey Club, against the Licensed Victualler' Newspaper Company, Limited, aud Mr. Gale.
