This change in location is not a bit more marked than the change that has taken place of late years in the O&#8217;Brien brotherhood. Time was when the O&#8217;Briens flourished around old Jersey street, now an almost unknown locality, runnin\u2019 out of Crosby street, and when they figured largely in election rows around the Old Bull\u2019s Head tavern in the Bowery. But for some years past all the O&#8217;Brien brothers have altogether changed and materially improved their habits, and have become quiet, gentlemanly and rather \u201chigh-toned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/James_OBrien_U.S._Congressman_-_Brady-Handy.jpg?resize=330%2C408&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1913\" style=\"width:256px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/James_OBrien_U.S._Congressman_-_Brady-Handy.jpg?w=330&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/James_OBrien_U.S._Congressman_-_Brady-Handy.jpg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James O&#8217;Brien, brother of Larry; NYC Sheriff, U.S. congressman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In fact, Larry O&#8217;Brien himself is but one of many examples that could be cited of the mistaken notions that most people have of a \u201csportin\u2019\u201d life. It is taken for granted, for instance, that every sportin\u2019 man drinks heavily, whereas Isaiah Rynders, a \u201csport\u201d all his life; \u201cJim\u201d Kerrigan, and all the O&#8217;Brien boys have been strictly \u201ctemperate\u201d men, as has been Truman himself. To be a leading \u201csport\u201d a man really needs a clear head and must lead \u201cregular\u201d habits. John Chamberlain says that in twenty years he never varied twenty minutes in his hours of meals or sleep. Not one \u201cbusiness\u201d or \u201cprofessional\u201d man in twenty is as \u201cregular\u201d as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And the common idea, too, that \u201csports\u201d are \u201croughs\u201d is altogether erroneous. There are not two more \u201cgentlemanly\u201d men in looks, attire and demeanor in New York city than Larry O&#8217;Brien and his foe, Truman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In these points Larry O&#8217;Brien closely resembled George Hill, the celebrated Saratoga club-house man, who was the quietest and most gentlemanlike man in Saratoga, and yet the only man John Morrissey feared in the whole place. \u201cStill waters run deep.\u201d And it was Larry O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s gentlemanly but quiet manner that could \u201csmile but kill\u201d that made John Morrissey always civil to, and rather afraid of, Larry O&#8217;Brien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One interestin\u2019 point in Larry&#8217;s varied career was his rivalry with Ed Shandley. The latter got up his \u201cLegion,\u201d which was very popular. O&#8217;Brien determined to come out ahead, got up his \u201cO&#8217;Brien Battalion,\u201d which was about one hundred men larger, and was almost as popular in its day as Isaiah Rynders\u2019 Empire Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"362\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bosstweededshandley.png?resize=362%2C208&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bosstweededshandley.png?w=362&amp;ssl=1 362w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bosstweededshandley.png?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boss Tweed and Edward Shandley, caricatured by Thomas Nast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; John McGowan, afterward police court clerk, was the commander of his Battalion, Thomas Lynch was lieutenant-colonel, Edward Gilmore was drum major, and among the leadin\u2019 members were \u201cDutch\u201d Heinrichs, Dan Noble, Reddy the Blacksmith; Haggerty, who was afterward engaged in a fight with Reddy; \u201cPatsey\u201d Egan, \u201cShang\u201d Draper and other well-known sports. This battalion at one time numbered nearly five hundred men, and its expenses were mainly born by Larry himself. The battalion was pretty well drilled and made on its parades quite a credible show. The rivalry between it and the Shandley Legion was very hot and bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A characteristic story is recited of \u201cLarry\u201d in connection with his battalion. A grand parade had been announced and the route had been published in papers. But at the last minute Larry, whose orders were supreme, changed the route, and the object of this change was to be to afford a young lady who resided near the \u201cJackson Club\u201d house\u2013and in whose good graces Larry stood high\u2013a chance to see the parade from the vantage ground of her own window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As for O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s antagonist, Truman, public feelin\u2019 seems to be against him, but he has his warm friends, nevertheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"355\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/knifefight.png?resize=355%2C332&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/knifefight.png?w=355&amp;ssl=1 355w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/knifefight.png?resize=300%2C281&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Knife Fight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Among them is Hillman, the old sport, who says that Truman, in money matters, is a man whose word is sacred. If he has promised to pay a certain sum by a certain time, that sum at that time is paid. He cites a case in point. He loaned Truman $500, in New York here, once, to be paid in three months, and shortly after makin\u2019 the loan heard that Truman had gone to Texas. He made up his mind he had lost the money. But two weeks before the three months were up he received a letter from Galveston, from Truman, tellin\u2019 him that that week he would send him on to the Bower House a draft for $500. And sure enough that draft came and was honored at the bank here the day before the $500 was due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 None are all evil, and it may be that there is some good stuff in both of the principals in this Broadway battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The street brawl between O&#8217;Brien and the notorious card sharp, Truman, was a serious affair.
