AQUATIC, CHICAGO YACHT CLUB REGATTA. “The Chicago Yactit Club held its fourth regatia yesterdsy aftarnoon, and met with extraordinary uck. But luck is what the Club expects. Yes- torday's Inck was atrocious. It seemed as if the invited guests of the Club hed a premonition of impeading monotony—another name for disas- Jer—for they did not muster a8 numerously as 26usl o witness the yechtrace. However, there a8 2 fair sprikling of them on board tho great tug G. W. Wood when she left tho dock at the Poot of LaSalle street at sbout half-past 1 s'clock. THELE WERE PRESENT g the judges, Geo. A. C. Ducst, the Hon. Julian F. Rumsey, and Frank Wentworth; timo-keepers, C. E. Eremer, Gen. Fiank Shermax, and Messrs. Hurlbut, Biesel, Frod Harris, and one or two sthers. The tug reached the foot of Twelfth street, where the start was to take place, and Ihere avrmited developments. + The rales of the Club required the vachts to start at 2 o'clock, the siznal being {he lowering ofaflag. Unforrunately there was no flag-stafl, 3ud for some time it was questionable whetber mither conid be obtained. The course was to be 15 miles long, round two stake boats and back to the starting point. It was gonerally understood Lhat the recent storm had left the Chicago Yache Club in such a condition that not enough boats could be got togother for a race. Tbis injurions public suspicion was dispelled, bowever by the &ight of five oraix sloops cruising abont inside the breakwater and getting ready for the race. The sight made the absence of fiag and flag-stafl ticless endurable, and the suspenso becams sgoniz- ing. especially us the Wood ‘beganto bump about sguinst the pier.

THE PANORANIC VIEW from the Wood at this point wes singulasly attractive, Thio yachts were well strung out in the onder of strt. icg, the etesmers plunging and rolling, and several tadiies on the Corona stesdfastly gaxing to the turbid waiens of the lake and hysterically contributing to the mzinietiance of the perch that'swerm ia the harbor. ‘The race ut this polnt was intercsiing. The Frolic 2d gained upon the other bosta and swept with them o windward, with the object of making the stake- boat. By some unaccountable freak the Carcy was al- Towed tolip {0 leeward, and when the Wood hove-to to tzke time, some distznce from the point, the Csrey was foand at & considerable distance souih of ber.

The long swell had 3is due effect, When the nose of the tug rose in high distain from the water, there was a Jook of impending trunble, tnd when that festere plunged madly down again {here was o every countenance tho livery of grief realized, After some bundred repetitions of this Terformance, several young men went below, and re- torned mdder but Yghter men.

Now, tho averago reader knows well how trescherons a beast the hot biscuit is, Like opal, it is consumed by ipter- nal nres, or liks St. John's edible prayer-book, t is as boney in the mouth and gall in the entrails, 1r. Lyon Lied just bitten into the savory biscuit, when, with an ah—— of unusnal sincerity, be dropped It, and made his exit into the arms of the sdmiring ascmbly. An inquiry was instantly made why he dropped bis- cuit. Anybody who knows the Admiral fully sppre- ciates that haray vetoran'’s readiness of {nvention, Ho assumed an_air of utter disgust and remarked : “Tt wasnt dome Gen, erman Lad been calling for ed the ground that it wss antlscorbunic, and on #0 Iong & voyage was indispensable, With bard, vul- ture-like eyes the passengers regarded Mr, Harris and two newspaper men who omptied paper of Sberman Houso sandwiches, What frightful opisode of canni- ‘balism might have climaxed the doings of tho day but for the succesaful rounding of tho stake-boat by the Frolic cannot be guessed at, but s sigh of infinite ro- lief, of hope and trust, broe from everybody as, after tho'third attempt, the handeome eloop aneaked round 1hie boat at 4:U3:45, and then, leiting ont ber sheet, took what suspicion of & breezs there was right ft.

It is a vory lucky thing for Ar. Bines, of the Chicago Club, that thers bas pever been any suspicion of his honesty as a ball-plsyer, else there would have been good grounds for charg- ing him sith pecaliar play, snd with feeling en intorest in having his clab lose. Asatis, howover, there is nothing more to b said than that Hinea played the worst gama ever showa by & profes- sional in Chicsgo, and that through his errors the White Stockings lost their eighth game with the Philsdelphiss. Hustings throew ball atter ball into his bands, and they went out to the coptre fielder a8 if Hines bad been o wooden man and the ball had bounded off him. The new player of the nine, Brady, also helped tho rout, and to him and Hines may clearly be charged the defest. DBrady is o strong smateur, and will make a good player with training. He showed good batting powers yes- terday, and put in o creditablo throe-base hit for his Portiof, Avart from the two named, ths Chicsgos iyed o god e, an eir batting and fel g?umma’-: Wlfi‘?m'flm {fact that the score should klvz stood 5t 10 0 in their favor, ia evidence of this.

They will also play in Ciocinnatl this week, probably Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. ‘The new men of the New Haven nine, to replace those in Canadian fails, are Trenwith, formerly third baseman of the Centennials ; Libby, first basuman of the Chelseas, of Chelsea, Mags,; Pabor and Cassidy, of the Atlantics ; and_Munzell, the centre-fiaider of an Anburz, K.

A Long-Fxpected Suspension Finally Comes. Mr. Goodell Says the Depositors Will Be Paid Every Dollar—No Publio Moneys Lost, When the Clearing-Houso balances were struck yesterday, about $25,000 was footed up against the Fourth Natiopal Bank, which con- cern, being unable to pay that amount, suspend- ed at 12:30 p. m. Ordinarily, tho suspeosion of & National Bank would have created somewhat of an excitement in business circles. Bat for Bome iime past it nas been well known among bankers here that the Fourth National had prac- ticalty, since the panic, beenin liquidation, and tho suspension was not unexpected, though it had been belioved by many that the managers would 6ucceed in winding up its affairs withont being forced to close the doors of tho concern, Its deposita, however, have been slowly but stesdily diminishing, while its assets were shrinking, and the prospect of realiz- ing on bills receivable was growiog worse was also no secret among bankers of the citygenerally. The suspension, tnerefare, was fol- Towed by no particular uncasiness in the moncy msr- Ket, the heaviest balance due any privace depositor in the city being less than $5.000,—and, in fact, the sn- nonncement thst the bank hd closed its doors scarca created perozptible Tipple un tho street Featordsy. To o TRBUE yeporter who applied b bim yester- dsy afternoon for o statementof the cordition of the affairs of the bank, and of the causas thatled to the suspension, MR B. E. GOODELL, tho President, said : The banx has bzen embarrassod aince I took the Presidency, in Janury, 1874, I ook hold with the Lope of felching it out; but six months after I assumed the Presidency atters looked worse than at the begianing. I found that I could not adviso my friends to put money into iz, and, though I might have succeeded in having tho stock doubled bad I tried, T did not feel warrantod fn 80 doing, and for some time past have been endeavor- ing to graduslly liquidate its lisbiities, At the settle- ment 3 tho Clearing:Fouss to-day o found very un expectedly n balance of about £25,000 against ue, Tloarned of it thirty Tinnies earlior i fhink there would have been no trouble in providing for it. 1 bad only & fow minutes’ notice, and there waa nol thon enough left in which tomake such exhibit of our affzirs to any of the other banks as they required befora extending accommodation to us, and, whilo bank to which wo applied for ‘help wero considering the matter, the Clozring-Houso closed, Our line of deposit has been reduced until now i s less, ll told, than §130,000, overy dollar of which will be paid. Our bills receiva- Dle amount to about $300,000: aad our other assets amount toabout §50,000, mu\udmg ‘abont $20,000 due us from the Government, on surrender of our circulstion, of which thero is now outstanding but sbout_$45,00, The stockholders will be the only losers ; and, if they {ake time to_realize upon the assets instead Of sacri- ficing them, they will gt dollar for dollar. There hus ‘been 20 rup upon us, but we have ever sinco the panio Dbeon carTying paper socured by mortgages on real catate, o which we have been ugabia to. fealize, Wo Ead about $66,000 of 8. J.

Thecity had a deposit with us of about $£20,000, Which has been arranged for 80 that the city will Iose nothing. The heavieat stockholders are N, S, Bouton, B. V. Page, and myself ; about $50,000 of the stock is ownod by Esstern banks and insurance com- e, and tho rest i3 held in small amonnts, the towal but £200,000. I do not think our suspension will have any effect in money circles hero. With a view to ascertaining tho feeling in business circles in tho city as to tho Suspension, the reporter yosterday called upon MB. W.F. COOLBATUGH, President of the Union National Bank, and ssked him whiat offect the faslure of the Fourth 'National would bve upon tho banking sud busiases Sulersata of this y. 1 have Just written my views upon that subject to our New York corrcspondents, Here is my letter, ‘which you msy copy,” replied Mr, Coolbangh, holding the reporter a lotter, of which the followiug (omitting the address) i8 o copy : “Tho suspension of the Fourth National Bank of this city, which will be announced Monday, is a 'matter of 1o cance whafever, 1t i3 a emall concern, which has been badly crippled for yoars, and has been virtually in liguidation for the yast year.

Birch (the Secretary) and several other membery reported the BUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION OF WARD CLUBS in different wards. a Tue Chair said from what he had learned from gentlemon of different wards, ths organization of tho party was boing as rapidly pushed in all the wards as circumstances admitted. He did not know that the Committee conld do anything further than to urge upon Roputlicans at large the necessity of orgauizing. Was_ thers any business to come before tho meetng? ik In answer to o question, Mr. Schaffner sid it ‘was proposed to fix THE TOME FOR THE CONVENTION st 8 futore meeting. Thero werafive weoksanda half yet to the day of clection, and there was lenty of time to decide that polnt. It was, however, for tlio Committea to decide whether they swould take any action that day or not. Ho trought it would be well to notlry oach member of the Committeo to sttend tho next meeting, and to present th'u tho names of threo_persons to sct a8 judges o primary clection. The Committes had to designate ths judges, and they would probably bave some difficaly in doing that to- day. e, H. B, Bowue thought they otght to lot the public Inow whether or not a conventlon was to be called. Republicans generally were anxiows on that score, for they were entirely without infornution as to whaf the Committes intended dolng. The sooner they decided this matter, the better would the work of the party proceed. Mr, Kingsley also thought theyshould do something in this regard. so that the poople would know how to proceed. 31r. Bogueasked how long ainotico of the Convention 1t was noccesary to give. Tha Chairmsn said it rested wholly with the Committee. He thought ton dsys’ nodcs sufficient, Mr. Kingeley thought it should bo long enoagh to enablo them to get the dlection notices ont in time, Tho Chalrman eaid the Cectral Committce had nothing whatever to do with therelecton notices. All they had to do was to call the Convenion, giving prop- er notice thereof, . 3. W, Springer moved * That it is tha sense of this Commitiea to Bave o Bepublicaa Convention, the time and place to bs fixed Bervafter.’ The motion was carri Mr. Bravion then moved that the primaries be held on the 16th and the Convention on :he 1ith of G- tober. 3fr. Avery could not sea the necesity for fixing the timo st present, omething might oicur which would ‘make it desirabie to hold it sooner or Liter than the date mentioned, Hoapprehended a long ampaign was not uired thia year, and the soone: the election was hoid after the nominations the better it would be for all concerned. - Besides, it would be wil to vwait untl the Opposition showed' their hand. A weels natice waa enough to give of the primaries tnd the Conven- tion, 3. Boguo saw 00 earthly reason vhy steps should Dot be taken in this matter s¢ present Ho was OPPOSED TO WAITING FOR THE OTHER SIDE to suggest their nominations. If they ever got up it would be by their own exertions, andnot by climbing ' up the skirts of other parties. Mr. Brayton thought the sooner hey showed they meant business tho better it wouldbe for the party, They had nothing to do with the 1Lovements of the other party. Theyshould sct for tiemselves and try and carry the elections. The Secretary (Mr, Birch) wasin frvor of postpon- ing this question until the next meethg. The motion dy passed would show the partyat largs what the Comumittes intended dofng in the futrs, and what Ro- publicans might expect of it. He expcted tho wards ‘would be fully represented at the neximooting, and in the mesntimo they could bo consideing what date should bo fixed, While the Commiite had tho general suporvision of the work, the bulk of ¢ was to be por- formed by tho ward organizations, anl he urged them to give great attention {o the organizsion of clubs bo- foro the primaries, Mr. Brayton said the wards would mt entor into tho Torkwith vigor until the Conveatlor question was settied. Mr. Birch moved that the questionbs deferred to the next meoting, weich motion, after further discus- sion, prevatled by & vote of 7 t0 G, The Committcs then adjourned to fafurday next at 3 0’gock in the same place. ———— THE FIELD. CANDIDATES AND THEIR CEANCES. The political canldron still kegs bubbling in a very uncertain mapner. No particular candidate for apy particalx office, on either gide, feels exactly sscure, it he would only admit the fa¢. It is o common remark that there is mow tncertainty in politics this year than at any tme since tho War. Tbis is acconnted for in vadous ways, but chiefly from the fact that those who were the connecting links of * the Peoplcs party " are now, almost to o men, engaged it tie patriotic work of fighting each other, in thdrown party, for nomination to office. Tho motto of all those gentlomen is, ** Devil take thshimndmost.” Another thing, the campaiga has >ecome RATHER VIRULENT.

Tho crowd was about evenly divided as re~ gards nationality, and considerzble dizéussion ar0s0 a8 to whether the business should be con- ducted in German or Evgiish.

Indeed, every 1man of ordinary intelligence and experier.ce know well that very little good, if any, can be accomplished by either party without being well and duly organized, Many a past triumph of the Rapublicans is » lasting testimony to the force of intelligent organization by abloand honest men : yet, despite these well-mown facts, we have become more dilatory about this im- portant matter of late years; so mach so, that the political adversaries have takon advantage of our Isx- ity and by this very stronghold of organization, to- gether with the persistenco and cnergy of their lead ers, will pat themselves in possession of overy thing— from the Aldermanship of the wards to the Governor- ship of the White-Houss a¢ Washington—uniess com- atod by o ike force.

Besolutions of Respect of the Board of Trade and Park Cummissioners. Meeting of .His Fellow-Cilizens of the Third Ward, The death of George W. Gage, Fridsy even- ivg last. after s very brief illness, was a sur- Priso £o the great body of our citizens. Occn- Ppyibg, as he did, a coaspicnous position for many years, the ovont desorves more thsn a passing notice, Mr. Gage was bomn in Pelham, N. H., March 9, 1812, and received s New En- gland common school education. He commenced business for himself in Lowell, Mass., a8 a ma- chinist Ho began bis hotel life at Methoen, AMass. Thence he went to the Merrimack House, Lowell; thento Wild's Hotel, Elm street, Bos- ton. During these years he so commend- ed bhimself to the esteem and good will of his asscciates and acquaint- suces, that when he took possession of the Uity Hotel, in Boston, as proprietor, he had tha good wishes of the pablic, and became a very popular landlord. Ho came to Chicago early in 1853, when the city numbered only about one- eighth of ita present population, and in company with bis brother, David A. Gage, made the Tre- mont Honse the most popular and successfal hotel in tho West, until he tranaferred his inter- eat and sapervision to the Sherman House, which was larger and Becamo more widely-celobrat- ed, and remained there till the Great Fire in 1871. After that calamity, in unison with our most prominent snd publio spirited citizens, he at once began the work of rebuildiog Chicsgo, and no one has mora fajth- fally done his part in the work of rescoration. Always public-spirited and ready to aid in pro- moting all feaible plns for public improvement, alw ays ready to help and not hinder private en- terprige, with & hand open to charif worka, Ha will bo missed 15 12 M hov sosn mussed in the City of Chicago. But it is not merely a8 & man of business that he shonld be spoken of. As a mac, 28 o friend, &3 & citizen, he was not only withoat ro- proach, but enjoyed, in a singular degree, the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens. As husband, father, and brother, he discharged bis duties with a faitbfulness, tonderness, and avbounding affection which must make his mem- ory more dear tothem snd his loss mere deeply felt. Heleavesa wifs and six ch:ldren—two soos sod four dauchtors—to mourn his death snd remember his virtues. ‘The older citizens, who best knew the man, best appreciate lus worth. The sympathy of all classas for bis family, in their doep affliction, is deep and universal, 2ud is a tribute honorable to tue memory of the man, and gratefnl to surviv- ing friends.
