A MEMBER of the South Park Board stated yes- terday to areporter of ‘Tt HIBUNE that the delay in paving Michigan avenue was not the Zault of the Park Commissioners, but should “Properly be charred to the city. The trouble arose from the fact that wuter-mains had to be laid at the north end of the avenue, and nouse connections made, and it would be éenseless to Fo on and pave the street until all such work was completed. The Park Bourd bad done everstbing possible to expedite the work, but the Commissioner referred tu believed that, ow- ing to the detays. it would not be possible to get the whole street in decent shape this year. ‘TRE return ot Mr. Henry Luder. the popular teacher of gymnastics of the Chicago Turn- gemcinde, from bis wedding trip was the occa- ston of a very merry purty atthe North Side Turner-Hall yesterday evening.

Fortunately for Mr. Flurence, be interrupted them at just the rghttime, His idea is that they are alleged knife-sharpeners, who. make & practice of spying out the pros- pective “jobs” around the business offices, and is sure he can identify them in cuse he should see them again. : Waar is destined to prove a prominent, a3 well as un atuusing, feature in the approaching Rane County Fair, which is to be held at Aurora in September, will be the contest for the “Lushe"™ Crooker prizes. The politicians of Illinois, Republicans and Democrats alike, all koow who “Lushe" is, but tor the information of the yeneral reader it may be stated that be was one of the prominent Hepublicaus members of the House ifn the Thirty-tirst General Assembly, and is now the Collector of Internal Revenue at Aurora.

Swan presided, and Messzs. Hull and Dean spoke to a yote of thanks to the lunch-givers, which passed without 2 dis- sentiug volve. The’ deaters .voted to postpone the next lunch four weeks from yesterday, be- cause the next regulur date would come so near the Fourth of July, which many of the trade expect tocelebrate by letting their patriotism bubble over in the rural districts, Kelley, Rathborne & Co. provide the next spread. some of the lumbermen think a month is # rather long time tu gu without # lunch; and the sugxestion bas been thrown out thut the next one be celebrated by a sort of reunion, with a program in which the wit, poet, historian, novel- ist, orators, statisticians, and utility men of the trade sbali take part. The planing-mill ques- Hon might also be broschea, und the price-list can always be depended upon fora lively debate. Meanwhile the Secretary might procure 2 lot uf Pine and hemluck boughs from Michigan and create a sweet-scented forest in the Excbance room for the occasion. There is no good reason whs the lumbermen shoulan’t enjoy themselves if they want to. Last evening the rotunda of the Palmer House began to fill up with tbe usual crowd of Democrats about 8 o’cluck, their object betug to meet Gov. Garcelon, of Maine. The Governor was out to dinner, and did not return to the ho- tel until after Yo'clock, When he arrived be was sutnmoned to the club room, where the Bourbons bad assembled, and Mayor Harrison, as spokesmun for the party. made one of his characteristic speeches, welcomm the Maine mun toChicago,and saying that those in the rvom || bad calied upon bim asu Democrat. The crowd then settled back to hear a Demo speech trom the Governor, but he dis pointed them by suying tat he Ss not on @ political tour, and would not talk to them of politics. He was glad to see hein all, however. The Bourbons then fell into line, and were presented by Mayor Harrison to Gov. Gar- celon. The line of march was west in the hall- way to the rotunda, south in the rotunda to the cigar-stand, and’ east from the cicar- stand to the bur, where the column bualted gngbroke ranks. ‘Among those in line were the fol weg: Mayor Harrison, Justice Wallace, Justice Prindiville, Edward Foreman, Frank G.

TRE TUG-WIISTLE, Referring.to a statement in Saturday's TrrB- UNE relative to the South Water street mer- chants and the tug-whistie nuisance, the Secre- lary of the Citizens’ Association says that sever- al of those gentlemen have called on bim, to whomn be bas stated that the river is putrolied both nixbt and day fur the purpose of observing violations of the law, warning offenders, and giving information. Any person who perceives an inordinate umount of whistling will confer a favor by noting: the time, place, and circum- stances, and sending the particulurs, with the numes of two or three witnesses, to the office of the Association, #5 Merchants’ Building. The case will be curefully examined, and if rounds Foci proqgen tion. exist the summons will be is- sued. The vew ordinance permitting the use of a three-inch copper whistle ‘in- stead of restricting steamera to the use of an incb-whistle, as beretufore, goes into ef- fect ina few days. The transportation tines and a majority of the tuz-owners have notitied the Association that they will adopt it. and, under the pressure of the new law, the others, includ- ing the transient or oceasional arriv: d the steam-barges, will do likewise, or subject them- selves to the penalty provided. ‘The excuse for a large amount of the whistling bas been that the vessels were compelled to use their large sen-whistles, because tne legal inch-whistie was toosmall, That difficulty has been removed by the Council's permissivun of a thrce-inch copper whistle, thirteen inches long, with an inch steam-pipe, such as those now partly in use.

An opinion of the Law Department was Presented in regard to the granting. of tempor- ary relief. ‘The present Corporation Counsel thinks that relief can only be granted'to persons ermunently disabled, while the previous Law Bepartment held aitferentiy. An opinion was asked for from the Law Department in rezard to compelling all tne members of the Police and Fire Departments to contribute to the fund. At present there are only 400 members, and, as in fhe case of Ollicer Muhoney; many of the police- ‘men and firemen who dic or. are killed leave nothing. Had ilicer Mahoney been a member of the Association, his family would not now come before the public, asking for contributions to purehase them u home. The Trustees believe that each member of the Polive and Fire Depart- ment should be compelled to inake provision tor his family in case of death, and the Associauion is a sure, cheap, and srfe means to that end. CHICAGO'S REVISED ORDINANCES. The Revised Ordinances of the City of Chi- cago, prepuie! by Egbert Jamieson and Frank Adams, were led with the City Clerk yesterday afternoon, thus acquiring legal publication, and Will become the law of the city ten days bence. The new code makes a volume of over 800 pages, aud is a splendid specimen of the typograpber's art. To fucllitate reference, a complete and exhaustive index of 100 pages hus been pre- mired, and the sections are consecutively num- ered throughout, Considering the magnitude of the work, the beauty of the typography, and the care manifested in the proof-reading aud preparation of the index, the complaints of delay which kave been made by those unne- quainted with the difficulties aytending publica- on are entirely gratuitous. ‘The work retleets credit on the revisers and tho. printers, and it is to be regretted that no provision was made for a yearly publication in like style of wuat- ever new ordinances, a3 changed In the present revision, muy be passed by the City Council in the future. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. Tre Grand Jury heard fourteen cases yester- day and found nine true bills, Allof the cases were of the ordinary character. HounttnaTon W. JACKSON yesterday presented in the County Court the resolutions of the Bar association in reference to the late Charies Hitchcock, and they were ordered spread upun the records. Ine Sheriff yesterday took the following pris- oners to Joliet: Alex. McKay, Patrick Cav- annugh, Daniel Cavanaugh, George Fallen, Thomas Fisher, and Theudore Rermanson. W. C. Rause Samuel Kelley, and Fictding Jobn-- son Were sent to the House of Correction. This reduces the jail inmates to 203. and disposes of muuy of the worst characters the Sheriff hus bad todéal with. Tue clergy are again growing very remiss about returning marriage licenses to the Coun- ty Clerk. ‘The lw requires them to return them Bwitnin thirty days, und attiches a2 penalty of Siw for their fuilure. If a few of the penalties were enforced, there would be @ change. no doubt, and the necessity of a change is filus- trated ina case yesterday where a newly-made father ealled fora certificate of bia marriage, and could not get it because the records railed to show thathe bad ever been married. How many Suen cases there are is not known, but there should uot be uny. ‘Tue condemnation case which has occupied tke County Court fur several days, wherelu the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Com- pany sought to condemn Lots 16 and 17 in te North bulr of Block 14, und lots 48 and 49 in the south half of Block 14, allia Walsh & MeMul- Iin’s subdivision of the suuth three-quarters of the southeast quurter of Sec. 2v, Township 39, North Range H, east of the toird principal ime- ridian, the property of James D.

DOINGS IN THE CRIMINAL COURT. In the cuse of Billy Dalleson and Joseph Cooraling, on trial before Judge Hawes for assuult with intent to intliet bodily injury, the Jury returned 2 verdict of guilty. Arguments were heard on a motion fora new trial in the case of the Sublingers, and the mutter was taken under advisement, Before Judge Garduer, ‘Toumas Mullen und Peter teach pleaded guilty to burglary: George Williams to petit larceny; and Mathis Wagner to grand Jarceny.

Law- Jer being one of the securities. THE SALE FOR TAXES. The County Collector announces in advertis- ing thi erty fur taxes that the sale will o rover of Michigan street und Deurborn avenue,” which the County Cleric in- terprets to mean that neither his otfice nor that of the Collector, nor tke County Court, can be removed to the new building unul The law says the sale shall occur wi County Court is held, and this is notice required, so it the Collector bas overzeslous in particularizing. seurcely lend to any trouble, nor y way of occupying the new ollices as 300n as thoy areready, If the sule occurs where the County Court is beld the law would seein to be comptied with, Whether the place is in one building or an- other. The tux-tfixnters will, no doubt, try to take advantuge of the Collecto aul in locat- ing the place for the sale if the court should be removed in the meantime, but there is no dan- ger of the sale being vitinted thereby, é THE WAYS OF JUSTICE. The case of Dawson, the colored Democratic politician, under indictment for falsely person- all would seem been a But this can the that litte t be in the ating bis futher, must axain go over. ]t was up befure Judge" Barnum a few days ago on a change of venue, and continued on account of the “sickness” of a witness until Tuesday, and yesterday the Judge wrote the State's Attorney that he would not be able to hear it on that day. und, furthermore, that he could not say when he would be. The case is one of the oldest in the Criminal Court, and it has been continued from time to time on ac- count of the “sickness” of the same witness. In fact, the dodge was played until it became en ceedingiy mauzy. and, appreciating the situ ton, tue next move was tur change of venue on account of the alleged prejudice of the Judges, which was successful. The change wns rranted to Judge Barnum, and at once he was confronted with the old, old excuse, and a con- tinuance was granted and the case set for the 2ist, with tho result above noted.

IN THE TOILS FOR SENDING SCURRILOUS POSTAL- CARDS. Dr. Cream, who was tried once in tho Crim- inal Court on an_ indictment charging him with abortion, and acquitted, is in the tolls ‘again, with a prospect of beiug rewarded according to his deserts. His offense consists in the sending of the vilest sort of postal-cards through the mails,—an of- fense for which the Revised Statutes prescribe a fine of from $100,,to $50, with imprisonment from one tu ten yeurs. ‘The reciplent of bis foul abuse is x man by the name of Joseph Martin, living at No. 129 West Thirteenth street, engaged in the business of preparing furs for some of the wholesnle and retail fur bouses in this cit, Creuin hid attended bs family, 48 gh pavatetan, : * Sg tt e gard toa bile siartin claims that be puld the ctor ull he owed him, while the lat- ter, claiming that Martin was :in bis debt to the amount of | $20, ‘resorted to the despicable scheme of sending him seurril- ous postai-eards in_ order, perhups, to hasten mutters and bring about a settlement of the ul- leged debt. The pustals were preceded by a couple of letters, written in the sume hand as the cards, a SIGNED “THOMAS N. CREAM, and valuable in the case as x means of identify- iy the writmg on tho postal-cards. In the first letter, the Doctor very plainly informed Martin that his (Martin's) wife ung children were eutfer~ ing from disenses which, be sitld, they had con- tracted through’ Martin bimself, He then pro- ceuded to threaten nim with an exposure of the. matter unless bis bill were paid, and, to be more circumstantial, udded that the proofs of his allegation consisted of certain prescriptions on tiie ut one Knox's drug-store. The second letter was similar In its tone, but wound up with the threat, “ [ will learn that damned vixen of alow wite of yours to speak ill of me,”—from which {t might be interred that Mrs. Martin bad perbaps beon somewhat free in the use of her tongue. The postal-cards are three in number, and were allsentduy before yesterday. The post- marks show that they were muiled from the West Side Station, one at 9 a.m. and the other twoatd p.m. The first is sighed “ Dr. Creaun,’ and the second und third with the Doctor's fu- itials, 'T.

HANNIBAL DAMLIN AMONG THE BULLS AND BEARS. The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, ex- Vice-President of the United States, vis- ited the Boarf of ‘Trade about bulf-pust I o'clock yesterday morning, at the in- Yitation of Vice-President Dunham, was introduced by that zentleman, enthuslustically received by the bulls and the bears, and made them a brief but pleasant speech, in bis simple, heurty, and yet cuptivacmg way. He did not wish to detain them, he Suid, by a speech, and, indeed, bad only consented to speak at all, after considerable prossure, for he was aware of the great {mportance of the business transactions in which they were enguged, especially at such an hour, and more particularly so on Saturday. He bad often oeard of the energy of the Chicaxo Board of Trude, bad watched the evidences of that energy from a distunce, und had seen its in- fluences ramifying to the furchest ends of the civilized world. They bad ull read of the pharnix risug from ita ashes, and Chicago furnished to the world a practical illustration of the idea. He hud come through Chicago on his way further West to inspect the country and its wonderful re- sources, and bad thought he could do no better, while bere, than to look in upon a body of men of whom so much had been said to see what thoy were composed of, as well as'to give them [laughing] a chunce to look at him and gratify whatever little curiosity they might have in that direction. He bad found, on looking at them, that he bad gotten into the right pluce.— that he was really gazing upon a body of men who regulated und controlled the commerce, not only of the continent, but of the werld. They not only said what pork and flour should sell for bere, but the people way down iu Mune listened to the CLICK OF THE INSTRUMENT which told tho prices that were going in Chicago, and moditied their prices accordingly. The sume was true in Europe. where quotations moved up and down in response to the varying: upward and downward pressure exerted by the people who dealt in produce in Chicago. It seemed tohim thut that influence must be us per- manent as it was now universal,—that it would ist in, fact, as long as the continent itself en- ured. Apologizing for the interruption he had_oc- casioned in the trading, the venerable ex-Vice- President, but in hand, bowed himself out amidst loud and prolonged cheers. —— GRISCOM, THE FASTER.

Itis indis- pusition was of shart duration, however, and yielded to very simple medical treatment before night. The cuuse of the trouble would seem to bave been that his intestines. from luck of food or other irritating substunce, bad become torpid, to such a degree us to cause a auspension of the peristaltic action.

He wus deeply iu love with the girl vbo afterward becume his wife, but was so puor thut he could not think of mare rylug. Like all umbitious artists, be bad been to the Rocky Mountains und brought back 2 portfolio of studies.

He sought tho ‘artist and found that his surmises were true. He asked Biking to puta price on the picture, aud he ventured to say $50), Tho price was paid, und it enabled Elkins to marry.

The Viking Distances the English Countess of Dufferin. ‘The annuat regatta of the Chicago Yacht Cluo took place yesterday afternoon, ana afforded more sportof a different kind to both particl- pants and spectators than was anticipated. ‘There was plenty of wind,—too much, In fuct, for some of thy smaller boats,—and it was the first regatta in which large schouners of the first class havo taken parton the waters of Lake Michigan. There were not us many boats en- tered as informer regattas. It wasa matter of regret that no first-class sloops took part. AS it was, however, the contest between the Vi- king and the Countess of Dufferin was ex- ceedingly Interestmg, and in its results rather a surprise to those who have pinned their faith on the reported speed of the English boat. She was practically distanced from the start, and was outsailed and badly beaten. Ascvere storm that swept over’ the lake from tho northwest about 3 o'clock en- abled the sailing-mastergof the little boats to show their skill and nerve. Fortunately no ac- cidents uccurred, and, beyond the drenching received, no harm was done to either the boats or thelr occupants. ra ‘The race was sailed under the following “in- structions,” or program, adopted at the last reg- ular mecting of the Club on Tuesday evening: ** All yachts to assemble in the outer basin by 1:80p.m. .The first guo to get ready will be fired at that hour. At2 p.m. promptly the gua to sturt will be fred from the judzes’ boat, and all ynebts will then get under way without delay. Tho time of starting will be taken from the South pier. off Van Buren. street, as the yachts pass through into the basin. For schoontrs anu yachts of the first class the course will be from the spring, off Van Buran street, southeasterly to a stake-bout of Thirty-ninth street, thence northerly to the Water-Works Crib, thence northeasterly to a stake-boat otf Belmont avenue, thence return around the Crib to the place of starting. For yacnrs of the sec- ond und third class the course will be the same as for the schooners, except the return around the Crib, their course from the enst stuke-boxt being to return directly to the place of starting. For fourth-cluss sachts the course will be around the first stake-boat andCribonly. Noprizes will be offered for echoooers or tirst class yachts. The time, however,shall be taken if practicable.

To entitle nny yacht to the second prize in her class at least three yachts must start in exch class. All stake-boats will be passed at the port band.” ‘The steamer Bret Harte was chartered for the use of the judges, members of the Club, and representatives of the press. At precisely 1:2 the first gun was red for the yachts to get ready, and the “Bret Harte” steamed over to the South Pier to carry out that oart of the pro- gram whicb sald that “the time of starting will be tuken from the South Pier, off Van Bureo street. Here an unexpected obstacle to the carrying out of this part of the atternoon’s en- tertainineat was encountered. The steamer ran alongside the dock, and the gun was lunded for rhe purpose of firing a starting gun for the yachts, when a lady appeared upon the scene armed and accoutred to “repel bourders,”: and peremptorily forbade the steamer from lying alongside the dock or landing any persons upon it. Altnough the pier was suppused to have been paid for by the money of the taxpayers, and not to be private property, it was in use by the family of the Chief Engineer officer, and they were not to be disturbed by unmilitary visitors in their pleasant fishing matinée. The lady was energetic, and wus evidently in command that the visiting party beat a hasty retreat in as good order as possible, the artiliery bringing up the rear, and che judges and others took up their position on the end of the other pier from which the pablie bave not yet been excluded. At2 o'clock precisely THE SECOND GUN WAS FIRED for the Bouts to start. The rotlowing yachts were entered: First class schooner yachts: Viking, by Col. J. M.

So much had been claimed for the Dufferin in point of speed that it was anticipated that she would have a walk over the course. Such wus the feeling on the part of those on board of bor, und, in fact, if not tast, it is ditficult to see where she has any mer- its asa yucht. The Viking was the first to fill away, with a strong southwesterly wind blow- ing. The Dutrerin followed, and both started after the smail yachts, now hunched pretty well together, running for the stake-boat oif Thirty- fifth street. . The Viking turned the first stake- boat at 2:89:32, having made the run in 7 min- utes, 35 seconds, snd the Dufferin turned at 2342214, having made the ruo in 9 minutes, 23 seconds. Col. Loomis’ yueht was walking right away from her competitur, which, curfously enough, appeared to have but few friends among the spectators. Off Twenty-second Street the Harry Burke was leading. with the Zephyr and Peri cluse behind. Of Twelfth street the Viking ran up ber jib-topsail and at once took the lead of the fleet, standing up as stiff as n church, and as she passed the judges’ boat form:ng one of the most beautiful pictures—the very Ideal of grace- ful mastery over winds and waves—that could be painted” by artist's brusb. The Bret Harte suluted her witb a gun as she swept proudly by, and then steamed forthe Crib. By this time the wenther looked decidedly squally. with the wind veering to northward, and aark clouds, lit up by lizntning Hashes, working down upon the fleet. The Viking took in her jibtopsail and passed the Crib first, the Dufferin next, and the Burke third. Just then the rain came down in torrents, soon turning to driving sleet and bait, with n strony gule blowing from the northwest. Tho Viking took in her tlyingjib and kept steadily on her course. The Duiferin took in her foresail and jib und made the best weather she could. Thé Peri and Burke hove to east of the Crib to triple reef and wait tor the storm to blow over, while the rest of the Heet were shutout from sight, by the storm. Fortunately the wind soon spent its force, hav- ing blown some of the boats somewhat to the eastward. The Burke and the Peri were making: a pretty race by themselves. Ow in the dis- tance the Viking bad turned the Belmont ave- nue &ti und was headed for the Crib wing-and-wing, carrying both gafftopsuits. Far in the rewr was the Dutferin. e latter failed to turn the stukebuat us ordered by the instruc- tions, having reached too far to mike it without another tuck, so she turned to starboard and started for the Crib.
