THE BROOKLYN YACHT CLUB, ‘The eve of the Fourth, Commodore Read, assisted by many friends, who prearranged tho preliminaries of the yacht excursion of the Brooklyn Qtab to the cosey vetreat of Glen Cove yesterday, started in company with seven or cight vessels of the club to that beautiful Jeafy recess, the members of each boat fully intent wpon the grand enjoyment of the day by music and picasant reunions oo shore. |. Nine vessels of the fleet accompanied the Commodore on this excursion, but their departures from Gowanus way were 20 disconnected that this phase of the excur- stom te deserving of but little notice. The flagship did ‘mot fill away until nearly the last of the company, but the wind, which bad died away almost to a breath, occa- wiomally sent fitful spurts to those in sailing command, amd each was sanguine of a pleasant reunion upon their arrival at the cove, The Alsce had but little opportunity to show her sail- Ang qualities, as the entiro distance was made by a plea- sant drift, Amid a grand display of fireworks and re- eiprocal demonstrations on shore tho anchor of the @ommodore’s yacht was settled at Glen Cove, a throng ef ladies and gentiomen filling the grand piazza of the Rotel, awaiting the gun that announced his arrival. Glen Cove was astir at that lato hour, and exchanges of a plasant and appropriate Nature extended between “Captain Kida,"’ who sailed mot alone intent epon his “Bible and his gold,” but the many little wants his guests required, The pleasant rays of the sun ‘had but fully ushered in the day, aod breaking over the bills with « peceliar brilliancy upen the white sails of ‘the yachts, their pretty alignment was a sight long to be remombersd. A programme and order of Commodore Kidd was about to be promulgated tothe fleet at this early hour, when an accident of a fearful nati deprived ihe yacht Apeto, one of the v eels composing the fleet, and the club a member who had long beeu known and - cuted by the members. Mr. J. Wesley Cornwell was drowned while bathing. This painful accident not only cast a gloom over the ctub, but over the whole village. Resoscitation was attempted by medical gentlemen of ability, ‘Dut buman aid was of no avail. Commodore Kidd, who bad decided upon his orders for a race, and mamerous spirited engagements, recalled them, aud made every preparation for the proper disposal of the body upon its arrival in Brooklyn, where it had been went by’ Commodore Kida. -Had this serious accident not occurred, the grand dis- pley of the Brooklyn Cinb at Glen Cove yesterday, would “= aon one pty great aquatia events of a. ‘ommodore a 0 period of mourning has prssed, this ncbourued Tenens ‘wit be repeated under more auspicious circamstancea, Yacur Atice, East River, July 4, 1867, ‘At an informal meeting of members of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, held on board the yacht Alice to-day, to take into consideration the death of their tellow mem- wer, J.

At Hanter’s Point bridge, Greenpoint, a race was con- tested for $50 a side between two Ddoate, the Unknown and tbo Gaffer Fly, manned respectively by Daniel Noenan and Philip Andre, in white, and John Kellock ‘and John Harvey, in blue, the contestants being em- ployée in the Flint Giass Works at Greenpoint. The wace commanded more than ordinary interest, inasmuch aa the parties on either side bad hosts of friends, and excitement was st ted by @ popular desire 10 Noonan and Andre victorious over Kellock and Har- vey, because it was stated the latter had been elated by previous victories, The ‘race-ground”’ lay between Hunter's Point bridge and Newtown, being one mile on the surface of the creek; and the boats having been placed for the mart at the siake-boat, under the inspection of Mr. William Keily, the referee, off they flew like fal- cons, neck and tie for half a mile, the drip from the oars throwing off a phosphorescence in the suniight which told the course of the skifly when they had fled away in distance, After the first half mile the white gained ‘® boat's Jongth u; blue, and maintained her van- tage to the end of struggle. At the first round the excitoment of the spectators rose to fever heat. The croak was studded with boats bearing fre! of manly walor and female loveliness, and the ensembie presented a scene of hilarious excitement, ib ik was mot until the repeat of the second round was drawing to a close, and the white still in the ascendent, that the ago of popular applause became thoroughly aroused. The yd the wave shouted like sea birds as their favo- rie, encouragement were heard until round- boat the white was secure of succers, and “ Bully meo, bully men" resounded jht and repeated the sound. the occasion were selected almost at The first round of two miles was run in imutes, thirty seconds, by the Unk a, 7, oo sent ng measure » blue, coming in in gallant fifteen seconds in time to lose the prize.

There were some seven thousand persons present, including among the number several prominent anti-license mem- bers of the late Legislature, The principal feature of the exerciees to-day was an oration by Dr. George B. Loring, of Salem, who of course denounced liquor drinkers, liquor sellers and liquor generally, and advocated all measures to secure prohi- bition, and advised the friends of the prohibitory law to be active and industrious in the broad field before them. Following Dr. Loring’s address, a Tewsbury clergyman, named Tolman, spoke in favor of the same platform, but when in the most earnest part of his oration there came a rousing thunder storm, which caused all to quickly disperse, they evidently receiving more cold water their radical temperance piat- form could stand.

MISCELLANEOUS. CARD. EXPRESS CONTROVERSY. To ram Eprtor or raz New Youu Hxna.p:— The card of the Presidents of the three oid Express Com- panies, im which they deny any knowledge of the sult brought by Mr. 8, P. Waterbury, demands a reply. 8. P. Waterbury alleges that he is the owner of fifty shares of the stock of the cofopany, which cost bim $1,250. In order to save this property he considers it his best policy to engage the professional services of Mr. James T, Brady, one of the leaders of the bar, to take steps to destroy the company in which he is a stockholder. What he has paid as a retainer to Mr. Brady we leave an intelligent public to infer; and whether property worth $91,250 is worth the expense con- sequent upon such proceedings, a very simple formula of arithmetic will determine. Mr. Waterbury 1a, we assume, a respectable city weigher, who would never have been heard of out of the circle of his business connections did 1 not suit the purposes of the old Express Companies, or persons in their interest, to pay him $1,700 for the use of his name in these proceedings, which we charge and allege have been inspired solely by the old companies, or by parties in their interest, for the purpose of breaking down the formidable organization of the Mer- chants’ Union, and to preserve their monopoly of the ex- press business, bie ‘These companies have sed every effort which unserupu- lous wuity could devise aud lay expenditure of mone; could effect to break down the Merchants’ Union. They | 7 have bought up a interest in the New York Central Railroad Company, thereby squandering the moneysof their share. holders, and tlecled ‘8 Board of Trustees and officers in the hopes of crushing out all opposition on that route, The re rendered that move abortive by enacting that all the same privilege on the express companies should roads of this State, Thus baulked of their prey, they measured their monetary pirength by the resources of the Merchants’ Union on the basis of 25 percent paidin on the stock of the latter com. my, and confidenily calculating upon thelr ability to ex- aust the treasury of their new riv: When it ap) d that a new call on Merchants’ Union stockholders of 10 per cent was about to be made, the old company were driven to the most desperate efforis to pre- it, for they had sagacity enough to perceive that a fresh supply of two millious of dollars in the coffers their already formidable adversary was more than the; roy a cope with, and th baza: rrupt and buy up the the ExecutM¥o Committee of the Merchants’ Union Company. Influenced by them, Mr. | ‘Thayer has the contemptible pal of intriguant who, under the guise of contidential connection approached General Slocum, and by re- sentationa respecting the honesty of his ‘asscciate trustees, sought to buy his vote against the call of 10 per cent, and to | poison bis mind against his assoc.ates. General Slocum, | always acting under the advice of counsel, took a course by | which bo wes enabled, to defeat the conspiracy, weneral | to his assoolates and disclosed 0 tween him and Mr. Thayer, and made use of it as au arguinent why an immediate call of 10 per cent should be which Was made accordingly, and which ie bam, betng responded to by the stockholders with cheer! ‘ The affidavits of Mr. Pratt, General Slocum’s private counsel, and General John A. Greca, Jr., places this whole transaction in its proper light, and the public will see how the machinations of the old companies were defeated by the ‘sagacious and prudent course which characterized the action of the Executive Commitiee of the company. We repeat that this is a fight between the old Express Companies and the Merchants’ Union, and that sir. Water. bury, the nominal plaintiff, Is a mere mau of straw put forward by them, ‘We are ready and eager for the fight, whether it is to be conducted under the forms of legal procvedings with our able aud distinguished opponent, Mr. 1 .0F without the forms of law in newspaper busiwacking. We confess for & predilection in favor of the former mode of warfare; but wider any circumstances, and in ull events, we are ready to meet the old monopolies, relying upon the honesty and intel. lgence of the people to propound a verdict on the side of Tight. “ieneral Slocum, acting under our advice, declines to make any reply to the monstrous and untruthful statements contained in Mr. Waterbury's card and Mr. Thayer's testi. mony, but will submit at the earliest. posalble moment to = fuil examination in all the facts charged against him and e Company.
