Lacey to cross Long Isiand Sound in a rew boat drawn bya kite was madecn the Ist and proved successfal. The kite was ten feet high by eight wide, and was attached to the forward part of the tbya strong cord, about six havdred feet of which was letout, The winds was blowiog northwest atabout 2 o'clock p. m., when the start was made from Seaside Park, Mr. Lacey being ac- companied by Mr. C. Booth, of this city, who held the rudder, The start was witnessed by a large number of people. The fresh breezs car- ried the boat steadily out into the Sound, and in @ direction toward Port Jeff raon, L. I. A sail- boat accompanied the kite-propetied adventu- rers, butthe strength of the kits was so great that the sailboat was left behind before the Long Istand shore was reached. When about balf way across the Sound the wind hauled te the west, but the kite continned todraw quite as well as before, and Port Jefferson harbor was aud a quarter after The distance is ud the boat drawn by the kite reached the shore st least a mile ahead of the sailboat, hich accompanied it. Old Field Light was the point sailed for, ani it was made exactly, and thus on the voyage over about four points to the windward were made. Messrs. Lacey and Booth landed at Port Jefferson, and their novel craft created quite a sensation among the hundreds who thron, to the shore to meet them. As the success of the experiment had been pronounced impossible, the achievement was very gratifying, and de- monstrated that the ies of would: be philos- ophers were ali wide from the mark. The kite was covered with fine white cotton cloth, and had a tail of ** listing” 100 feet in length. Mr. Lacey re) 'd to the two local newspapers at Port Jeffe-son, and remained ali night at that lace, returning to Bridgeport on the steamer Bpittce this morning, bringing the kite with him. No other motive power than the kite was used to draw the boat through the water, there was not the least tendency to fall during the entire trip over. ‘The success of this trip will prompt many similar adventures, it is probable, and already trips to Montauk and other =~ on the Lor Island coast are taiked of. t. Lacey is con! dent that he can guide a boat nearly as closely as if run by sails, and he is ready to undertake still further excursions to demonstrate the feasi- bility of this method of navigatio: Waat Ma. Barcuer’s BroraeR Sars Anovr His Lertee To Mas. Hookga.—Rey T. K, Beecher, in a letter to the Elmira Gazette published yesterday, says in substance that his letter to bis sister, Mrs. Hooker, was aimed simply to caution and dissuade her from a costly act of fanaticism. It was written without other knowledge of the facts than such as she stated and such as were sincerely beli:ved by her. Te avoid controversy the truth ef her allegations was assumed. Since 1854 he has not had two hours’ conversation with Henry Ward, and he cannot reca!l at any time ever having had a discussion with him on the subject of free-love, marriage, divorce, relation of the sexes or female suffrage. He disclaims, therefore, being & competent witness as to his brother’s views ou such subjects. The divergencies of views be- tween himself and his brother, he thinks, are te his brother's credit and his own discredit, his brother being a believer in the nobility of homan nature, and himself believing that human nature is bad; bis brother making haste to go with every popular movement as with the tide nay fom 3 Divine guidance, he thinking the same a device of adversary and cautioning ali against it. Of Henry Ward Beechor’s personal truth, purity, honor and piety he never hai for & moment a doubt that was based upon any trustworthy information, and he gratefully puts on record the statement that he knows of noth- ing whatever, past or present, that hinders him from giving ‘to his brother the most implicit, contented and loving credence. Tue CoLonep Peorce oF Bostow on THE SouTsern OvorraGes.—A large meeting of colored citizens was held in Boston Wednesday evening to consider the recent outrages by “white leagues” in the southern states.

Among the rest was a resolution in which it was declared that the colored people had lost faith in the republican party because of its failure to pass the civil rights bill and redeem ite pledges made ia convention and upon the stump. This resolntion was warmly combatted by several -peakers in the depate which followed, while al! agreed to the remainder of the series. At the clove of the meeting they were adopted as re- ported by a decided majority. r. John J Smith and about one hundred others will pub lish a card dissenting from this particular reso- lution, and reaffirming their faith in the repub- lican party. A TEN-YEAR OLD Lucagtia Sarah B. Reeves, a colored giri aged 10 years, Was arraigned before the court of sessions at Elizabeth, N. J., on Wednesday, charged with attempting to poison the family of D. Miller, of Cranford. The prisoner, who is a bright, in- telligent girl, confessed that she had put creo sote into the coffee and creain at breakfast When questioned she replied that she did it he- caase Mr. Miller had whipped her because she wasimpudent. Mr. Miller admitted chastising the girl,as sho was unrniy and qnarrelsom> with the children, In June when he and his family sat down to breakfast he detected a eculiar odor in the coffee, and warned all not partake of it. It was analyzed by a physi cian, who found enough of the oil of creosote in it to kill twenty persons. ‘T'he girl was immedi- ately afterwards arrested, and was confined in the Elizabeth jail. In view of her age the court sentenced the girl to the state industrial school, with instructions to keep astrict watch upon her movements. Boreta.— MYaTERIOUS DISAPPBARANCE OF A YOUNG Lapy.—Jane E.

The London Satarday Review in its iast issue elabo- rated to the extent of a co'unm ite ideas of the novel game in comparison with cricket. The man of the Review probably witnessed one o! the games which were played in London, as he seems to have made himself familiar with the radiments of the play. He first goes into a lengthy demonstration of the fact (if it is a fact that as a man’s natore is most readily detected in his unguarded moments, so the characteris tice of a nation appear most clearly in its games Here 8 occasion to speak of the *‘cool- ners, persistency and carcfal skill of the Kng- py as exemplified im their cricket exercise,” of THE SPIRIT OF INDEPEN which leads Americans to etril game to be more especially their own. can hardly atlow that base ball isan American invention, for further on be say “Yet in the essence of base ball there is no- thing new. A letter in the Times has pointed ont that in 17M @ game called base ball was pia ed * the family of Frederick, Prince of ‘al itis bie that the resembianoe be- tween thisand the American game of to-day extends further than the name. The origin of base ball may be tracked back without difficalty to the club ball of the fourteenth century. In Strutt’s Sports and Pastimes there is a repre- sentation of on oe in this emase- ment, or in one very closely akin to it. One is delivering @ ball to the other, who stands with the deprecating aspect which seems inseparable from medi« val figures, ready to receive it with rade kind of club. In this delivery of a ball cricket end base ball is cant roosgnised. Th is et zed. curious that the attitude of the is more ly in base ball than io cricket. This may be taken as an indication either that the American game is an interme- diate step between club ball and cricket, or that the ese ball players have employed a conservative wisdom in rejectin, to get at the root of the tree. T the branches former in- terpretation is likely te find general acceptance, imasmuch as all men who bare been we eport to which much time and practice were to be devoted. Base ball is, in fact, a kind of glo- rified rounders.” That the = idea of sport is only bait developed is plain from the ALL ABSORBING IMPORTANCE which they attach to the batting in a game, their whole idea of scientific play bei and up in the man who chances to be defending the icket. A cricketer with whom I was talking to-day had the whole thing in a nutshell when he said, ** You couldn't get our fellows out to practice at shying the ball, yer know; they like to bat.” Thus in all their practice none of the gentlemen players will trouble themselves by throwing or catching. Thus is looked on as the drudgery of the game, aud is done by the hire lings or professionals. ' A gentleman player will go out for half an hour’s practice with the bat, and will either have an automatic machine to bow! the ball for him, or else the professional of the club, who, by the way, is a mere drudge, will perform the office. On all grounts hich we have yet visited, and I doubt not it is 80 on all English grounds, A STRICT LINE IS DRAWN between the gentlemen players and the profes. sionals, the latter not being permitted to dine with the club members, or even allowed access to the club house. Here is what the review says about batting : That the ure of the bat is not the most im- portant feature in base ball is at once evident. ‘hus one of the chief beauties of cricket is ab- sent from the game. There are none of those pretty cute, well-judged drives, and wary re- ceptions of d. ous balls which are the de- light of the spectators at Lord’s, On the other hand. it may be said that most of the niceties of batting at cricket are lost upon spectators without special knowledge. The hard hitting, which appears the main object of the batsman at base ball appeals to all who see it, however ignorant they may be of the game.” The last sentence reveals the critic's own ig- norance of the game and his consequent inabii- ity to judge fairly. The same ignorance is also shows when he contrasts pitebing with bow ling, and says that “the constant employment of the same action by allthe pitchers STRIKES THE ENGLISH BYE AS WEARISOME.” That these deficiencies are partially made ap for appears in the following “The interest lost in the matter of bowling and batting at base ball is made ap in that of fielding. After due allowance is made for the difference between @ cricket ball and the bali which is employed in the American game, the fact remains that the fielding of the American players is singularly accurste. The certainty th which cote: are de, the jadgment and quickness with which the field back one another up, the neatness and rapidity with which bails are stopped and thrown in, might serve as models to cricketers.” ‘Then, after noticing some of the peculiar fea- bse ofthe game, the English mind sums up *«Base ball is certainly pretty to look at, and probably appears a game of considerable skill 1d iut-rest when the intricacies which it has ered to itself tn the process of development fom roundere aro mastered. “It in wot ‘ikely, however, to become so popular in England as to endanger the reign of cricket.” Well, here we are, BACK IN MANCHESTER again, after a fortnight’s stay in London and three ‘days in smoky Sheffield. [t was not a Pullman car that brought us from the latter place hither, but one of your honest English coaches, or rather balf a dozen of them, with Jenty of rattle and jolt and no end of discom- rt. Manchester is the place of all others we have really had hopes of. The reception given the ball players on the former visit, and the good crowd of spectators who cams ont on that occasion, certainly encouraged the idea that the Manchester people would welcome our re- turn, and that poands, shillin, would make glad the financial msn of the party. Alas! we are again disappointed in both par- ticulars; but, as they say in novels, I anticipate mere anon. We here at noon on the 18th, in the midst of a pouring rain—our faitn- ful and incessant companion—and took quarters atthe ——. botel, a very comfortabie place. The following day there was to do, and everybody was sorry for it, as the weather hap- ned to be remarkably fine, ani the boys imag themselves playing before an immense crowd. Everybody feared that the next day (yesterday) would bein, the rain, but the con- — proved true. Uld Trafford looked like familiar ind, and coming upon it to play seemed like taking ASTEP—A SHORT ONE—TOWARDS HOM.

Not having done #0 before, I will here give an idea of BoW THE AMERICANS ARE PLACED om 8 cricket field. Behind the wicket stands McVey, prominent in a red cap, and competent to take anything that comes within his reach. He doeen't play close ap to the wicket, as the rap which he got inthe mouth at Liverpool gave him warning. Schafer’s narrow from a Diow at the Oval also tended to amateur wicket k ing & man with his length of limb in exch @ position, he misses no chances There is Barnes at “cover slip” and MoGeary at “cover point,” both of which positions re- uire nerve to take bot bal J accaracy in rowi “s os, stp,” Sutton “mid o! ing ‘mid of anal“ Rourke play “square ids there are such sure catchers and goed ruaners as Leonard, MecMuilin and Murnan. George and Harry Wright bave been acknowledged on all the rounds as fine bowlers; and then there ts Sicniride, who delivers very swift underhand, inawa, which takes the stamps before the batamen get ready to play on the ball. Here is & team a great deal stronger than it has been ‘iven the credit, and the host part of it is that they are improving in their batting every day. The only troubie is that they can find no team at enough to beat them. Such élevens as the ve played against, with the single ex- cert jon of the Marylebone eleven, they can beat saaty wim a0 equal number of men. What the boys want is to meet such players as Grace and Jupp, and it seem* a pity that they could not have the satisfaction of playing with a team which would be an acknow! sentative of England's best TARE SOORING OF THE MANOHRSTRE CLUB was very slow op the start, aud the first two wickets went down for 3 rans. Then Rowley got in, and, with his partner, made qatte » stand. After bowling a dozen overs, G. Ww was relieved by McBride, who got foar wiekets in five overs, Rowley being his firet victim at LL. With five men out for 31 runs, the gamo was stopped at 5 o'clock and BASE BALL took heed poe Of the stumps? Bat where was the crowd which was to witness tae play! There were onty about 350 persons on the ground, and it was too iste to hope for « larger attendance. . rlapy the best of = nt in to play ae pa gRme ae were at bome and exhibiting theit skili'betors thousands of appreciative spectators. It proved a ead the best games yet piayed in Eng- jand. The first inning was played without a run Of a8 error on either mde. (n the second, the Blue Stockings ecored two runs in this wise Clapp bita sharp bal! to Schafer, who touched but fatled to stop it. Battin sent a finer be- tween George and Barnes, which secured him & base. Harry picked up the ball and threw it to George, who passed it to Schafer, patting out Clapp. Sutton sent one between Barnes and O'Roarke, earning first. Hail had a splen- did chance to throw Battin out at third, bat be threw the ball over Schafer’s heat, and both the base ranners scored. Leonard broke the monotony in the second inning by a hard for three bases, but was left on third. 7 first ran for the ‘‘Keds” was made in the thiad inning. when Hall and Schafer and the former came home after McMullin, McBride scored one inning, getting first on a misjadged ft Leonard, third on Clapp’s safe bit, and after Battin’stly out to Hall. O’Rourked an easy ball from Schafer (beautiful pi by the iatter), but the error did mo bar as {the inning closed with two men on bases. In the next inning “Jimmy” dropped another ball from Schafer, and then McVey and Barace secured @ novel double play, the former putting Anson out on three strikes, and then throwing to Barnes in capital style and in season “Ross” to touch the third man ont. In thitsame inning Clapp wrenched his knee in running for 8 foul ball, being somewhat interfered with by the spectators, who crowded up rather too near the players. ‘In consequence of the injary, Clapp was forced to retire from the game, a MoGeary went bebind the bat, Murnan tak short stop aud Sensenderfer going to right field. The latter soon got a chance to distinguish bim- self by asplendid running catch, the finest of the game, which mate the spectators appland loudly. The sixth toning of the Athletics gave them two rans, Auson and McBride batting well, the former earning his run and the latter jetting bis on a dropped ball by McVey, thrown fome fo tim br jeorge Wright. The Bostons took another b md the score was 5 to 2 against them. ‘The run getting for the Bostons ended here, The “Blues” scored two addi- tional in the last inning on 8 mai! by Barnes, followed by three safe hits. The batting score hows how weak the *‘Keds" were in that direc- tion. McBride pitched splendid:y, and supported in old-time Athietic style. THE GAME OF CRICKET was finished to-day, and the M: . Play began o’clock, and the remaining five in twenty minutes. One or two misplays by the eighteen gave the Maachesters more runs than tuey should have had eir score reached 42 runs, just enough by one to save them from fol- towing their inning: The Americans therefore went in. The Prominent feature of the inning was the soore of Geo. Wrigut, who showed fiver cricket than any Englixuman has yet displayed tous. His50 was splendi made, and included bard drives, scientific cats, draws and leg hits. He got a5, six 4's, two 5's and six 2's, He was finally caught at long slip off the fast bowling. The inning ended for just 100 rans. The lun bell ry ut our boys took nolunch. On every ground heretofore they bave lanched at the in- vitation of the cricket club, but they received no such courteny st the hands of the Manches- ter club. The fatter lunched leisurely by them- selves, and then went on and played their sec- ond inning, having ten men put out in an hour and twenty res. Whateon (professional) ade a stand fag 25, and one other man scored figures, the others were easy for the bowlers. The total of the inning was 53 and the final Sgures 22] to 95. The vanquished were not much pleased st their defeat, though noth- ing was said.
