A Fine Day’s Sport at the Waverley Falr | me Bricklayers’ Union and Their Bossee— | THe Appearance of New London Harbor Tues GroundeRhode Island Carries Off the First ae Yesterday was a pleasing contrast to the day bre vious on the admirably laid out fair grounds of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society at Waverley, N.J. The thorough success which cnaracterized the meeting on this occasion furnished ample evidence of the beneficial etfects of fne weather. The’ day ‘was eminently suitable for racing, a8, indeed, it was for every description of outdoor sports. The at- tendance, though not as large as might have been expected, was certainly of a character not to be despised. What was lost in quantity was made up in quality. Quite a number of fine turnouts, containing fashionably dressed ladies, might be seen here and there sprinkled over the proud. which certainly could not have looked bet- r. Among the more noticeable equ! was a dsome four in hand, driven by Mr. per, of Irvington, N. J. The horses were splendidly matched In strong contrast to its @ppearance on Tuesday stand was liberally supplied with visitors, among whom were many ladies, A better track, in point of condition, could not be desired, which circumstance, coupled with the fine stock embraced in the entries, rendered the day's sport most enjoyable. racing was commenced early in the afternoon by the tinishing up of the two trots commenced on the preceding day. There was, fi for a premium of $225, mile heats, best three in five, open to horses owned in Now Jersey that had never beaten three minutes prior to July 14, 1868, which was won by Tene Hamilton in the seventh heat, time 2:43'%; next for @ premium of $350, similar to the former. One of the conditions of this race was that none of the horses entered had been known to beat 2:40 prior to July 14, 1868, in this contest the first prize was borne off by Careless, in 2:45, In one of the heats on Tuesday she accomplished the mile in 2:40, Yesterday’s programme was then carried out. The first race was similar in every respect to those already described, except that for 2:40 read 2:30 in the conditions. The premium was $500— $300 to the first, $150 to the second and $50 to the third. For this race there were entries as follows:—Surprise, entered by James McKee, of Paterson; Bay Mary, by M.

THE NATIONAL GAME. Mutual vs. Olympic, of Washington. The mysterious influence of the HERALD was ex- hibited yesterday at the Union grounds in a marked manner, forthe nine of the Mutual Club which had been selected to play with the young Washing- tonians—yclept the Olymptes—appeared in full club uniform, and the truth of the sentiments expressed in these columns a few days since was freely and fully acknowledged. It was furthermore evidenced in the appearance of Dockney as catcher. When Dock left the West the HERALD intimated that he would be a fitting man to catch for Wolters, and, to the astonishment of the crowd yesterday, he ap- ared in the place to which the HERALD assigned him. ‘That he filled the place wel. it is almost need- lesa to state. Gaivin played first base, and will, no doubt, do so again on many occasions. Flanley and the others did. their duty very well. The Olympics are neat, steady and quiet players.

A Monster Trade Gathering in the Cooper InstituteDetermination of the “Jours” te Fight It Out on Their Own Line. rf Last evening the long announced ‘monster meet- ing” of the several trades guilds of this city was held at Cooper Institute—called as a “monster meeting” to support'the Bricklayers’ Trade Unions in their present strike with their bosses, in every respect it was in- deed @ monster meeting, Long before the appointed hour the large hall of the Cooper Institute was crowded to overfiowing. The whole audience was of acharacter far beyond anything there 1s to be ordinarily seen in the Cooper Institute on occasions where gatherings are called together for mere politi- cal purposes. There was not only the usual mass of faces turned towards the platform, but there was ob- servable a deep feeling of interest in the bear- ing of all indtoating that there was not a man present that did not feel that each and all were prenent on an occasion in which they as a body individually were deeply taterested, and that they were pursuing an object which one and all of them Were determined to carry out. As a trades- men’s monster meeting, it was all that its conveners designed it to bo—“Truly a meeting of the working- men, and all questions not P*Certangy the interests | of labor will be eschewed.” Certainly the latter por- tion of the call was scrupulously adhered to, The whole spirit of the meeung was directed to the legitimate object of the movement. This, as set forth, was to secure for the working classes the great desideratum for which Shey have been for so many years not only agitating, but struggling. It asks nothing but that which the justice of their cause and the necessity for the simpié boon they demand | could have hitherto sustained them in. In addition to the meeting in the hall in the insti- tute two platforis were erected outside the buiid- ing, 80 that the thousands of workingmen who would naturally assemble atacall such as that which had summoned them on this occasion might be pro- Dd entertained by eflicient and trusted speakers. When the thousands who had first arrived had filied the hall to almost suifocation other thousands of workingmen from Brooklyn, Jersey City and other oes continued to aggregate in the vicinity of the woper Iustiture, and the forethought of the man- agers in providing stands and speakers in the sireet Was shown to be most necessary and judicious, ‘The meeting a8 a whole, inside aud outside, cer- tainly represented almost every trade organization in the great city of New York, und as each trade or- ganization, under its respective banner and trade insignia, marched in the rear of an excellent band of music through the streets the crowds of people who thronged the sidewalks heartily and enthusiastically cheered them as they passed along. Brooklyn, Jer- sey City, Willlamsburg and other outlying quarters supplied their full quota to the aggregation of respec- table, well conducted and intelligent workingmen that had been brought together to sustain and insist upon their ciaim to a recognition on the part of em- ployers to the eight hour system of labor, which it is thelr object to have adopted, The platform presented an array of gentlemen on the whole far superior in intelligence of look, de- meanor and bearing to any gathering of treble their number, such as is Crag brought together on oc- casions of great politi me(Ctings in the same arena, The speeches were of a character to thoroughly attract and absorb the attention of the audience from exordium to peroration in every instance. This was not only the case inside, Where the telling joints of each speech were loudly applauded, but on he street, where, from time to time, the plaudits with which the outslde speeches were received rolled in voiumes into the hal! and almost interrupted temporarily the speaker on the platform. One intimation given to any would-be political speculator was scrupulously carried out. The call said, “All Gti not pertaining to the interests of iabor will be eschewed; politicians, take warning.” The aunouncement, it seemed, was quite suMcient for the purpose designed. There were no politicians per sepresent, no timeseeking politician, at least, and it must be sald that as a workingman’s meet- ing it was @ great success, and it must also be acceded that in the semt-historic words which headed the call, “Every man expected to do his duty,” were bravely responded to, if numbers, the character of the speeches and the enthusiasm and harmony which prevailed were to be taken as proofs thereof, The meeting was ostensibly @ bricklayers’ meeting, but thousands of work- ingmen of other trades and_ professipns spontaneously joined in the movement and helped day Morning—The Yachts Before the Race to Rocky Polmt—The Bright Boats of the Squadrou—Floating Sea Weed. New LONvoN, August 12, 1908. ‘The beauty of the yacht feet yesterday morning as they were aligned from the dock of the Pequot House previous to the race to Rocky Point will long be re- membered, not.alone by the jolly salts who can be found on every inch of ground in this somnolent vil- lage, but by many who think they have gazed on everything that aquatic bloods can see. Boat after boat wheeled prettily into line, while now and then some of the captains, not liking the positions they had taken, selected others, and but a few minutes before the gun from the yacht Eva warned them to get ready were all satisfied. The harbor was turonged with boats, wiierrles and all kinds of craft, and for a while the new steam yacht Idler darted here and there about the jaunty craft, her owner taking notes of the appearance of sails, sailors and owners, as all listened atten- tively for the signal to “be away.” The mettle of some of the larger vessels had been tried go gloriously, and to the astonishment of @ few sanguine yachtmen, who cannot be per- suaded but that thetr own vessels are the “clean- ers” of every similar craft afloat, so much speed was developed from Glen Gove to this point that really anxiety was depicted on the countenances of. many.

Among the yachts that have shown great improve- ment in their sailing qualities this year none deserves oon er, prominent mention than the neat clipper Alicé, Last year she was unfortunate in every race, and came near being one of old Neptune's prizes by the stupidity of an aatiquated specimen of an oyster- man called a “pilot,” but this cruise all the black marks against her previous record are erased, and and little golden tints are dotted here and there for her merry work and jauntish appearance. The Fleet- wing also deserves especial ee as her Chen ance yesterday was only equatied by her magnificent sailing, It has seldom been the fortune of the oldest yachtmen, that date their aquatic experiences forty years back, when they sailed their good litte cat boats, to see such an effective picture. Well, but then came the calm, just as the prize was within the grasp of the deserving ones, and the Hal- cyon won the bauble, It was so unexpected to some, 80 utterly disheartening, that there were cross faces and pursed up mouths worn by many until the hop at the Pequot House, when the distraction of tol.ets and of the bewildering beauty displayed by the ladies made that @ matter of the past. ‘This morning,agreeably to previous announcement, the signal went ap to the masthead of the Phantom to depart from the translucent waters of New London and “away to Newport,” and at seven o’clock, with many hearty gvodbys and Godspeeds, the fleet bowled away under a mag- nificent breeze from the north to their destination.

THE RESOLUTIONS—THK GOVERNMENT BMPLOYES AND THR TELRORAM, A number of resolutions were put to the meeting, rincipaily in support of the object sougit to ve at- wained, which were all adopted unanimously.

A resolution was also passed expressing the thanks, not only of the meeting, but of the whole workingmen of the city, to the £vening Telegram for the impartial manner ta which it had laid before the [gs and had steadily advocated and recom- mended the object of the eight hour trades’ unions. ‘a ‘This latter resolution was adopied with acclama- jon.

A very large crowd, for whose delectation on the occasion two outside platforms had been erected, filled the space in front of the Cooper Institute.

Excitement had long veen maintained in regard to the race; for it really re- solved itself into one from New London to this mag- allicent port, Speculative gentlemen, those whose pleasures are enhanced by having money involved in such trials, bought pools, of which the following one of $1,000 will give an idea of their confdeace in the sailing qualities of the vessels: &, $250; Phantom, 50; Palmer,3100; Idler, $125; Fleet. wing, $75; Dauntless, $70, the balance being divided niaong the feet. Buta few miles from New London the wind became still fresher, and flowing from the same direction aod approactung Waten Hill the contending yachts preseuted a sight of mag- nificence rarely seen. The Idier, which obtained a fine start, held the advanced position, demonstrat- ing that she, too, was one of the crafts in the squad- ron to be feared, while the Fleetwing, in her jauuty way, followea beautifully, with the Phantom and Dauntiess side by side. The Halcyon, leading the balance of the feet in a group, presented a fine ap- pearance from the shore, he booming of cannon and the waving of handkerchiefs, with merry shouts from many on terra firma, attested the interest that they took in therace. The aquatic con- test went on in this manner with but little variation until Point Judith was reached, and here the wind blowing still fresher the Point was passed, the Idier still in advance with the Fieetwing next and the Dauntless third—she having in a contest of Watch Hill obtained this position; next came the Halcyon, with the Paimer following, the smalier boate being some distance astern, the beavy wind ng them to act poorly.

A Grand Contest Botweon the Yachts Mattie and Martha for §1,000—The Mattie the Winner. Without exception this was the best yacht race of the season. It was favored by the most auspicious weather, while the science, tactics and courage which characterized it will long be remembered by those who witnessed it, The competitors were, per- haps, the best matches that could be brought together. Both were models and possessed all the features of the most elegantly constructed, swift sailing crafts. It will, no doubt, ve remembered that, from the contests which have already taken place between those yachts two have been decided in favor of the Mattie, one to the credit of the Murtha ‘and the fourth @ blank, the boats having been be- calmed on returning home.

Adab Isancs Menken , On Tuesday last, in the city of Paris, Adah Isaacs Menken, well known in this country as an actress of only meagre ability, died. Though cut off at a com- paratively early age her life has been marked by many changes of capricious fortune, Adah was born in the’city of New Orleans in the year 1835, and was consequently at the time of her death about thirty-three years of age. Her parents were both Israelites, and though she herself never exhibited any marked religious proclivities, still her sympathies wore ever with the suffering ones of her parents’ creed, Her father died when she was quite young and her mother married again, a Dr. Campbell, theaa surgeon in the United States Army, jAs Adah grew up she evinced great aptitude aud with increasing years exhibited remarkable taleat, which being noticed by her stepfather he haa her educated ia a careful man- her. Her progress at school was noticeable, and her literary productions even at the early age of twelve years exhibited bright indications of what she migit have in future years attained had not circum- stances and the strange fascination of the stage turned from their true course the natural gifts with which the deceased seemed even at tnis age to bo . possessed, The death of her stepfather, when she attained her twelfth year, threw her mother upon her own resources, and a short time after we find the young Adah makes her début on the stage in her native city as @ danseuse, She roved @ success, After dancing for some time in the Crescent City she appeared at tho Tacon theatre in Havana, where she at once became a favorite. After a brilliant season it is said she next we avisit to Mexico, where her love of adventure frequently caused her much danger. Here it was that that erratic character which has of late years distinguished her began at first to develop itself. She returned to New Orleans played an engagement, and then determined te leave the stage and follow literary pursuits. She contributed to two or three newspapers, but finding this rather unprofitable work she again embarked tn the theatrical sea. In some of the principal cities of the West she played with some degree of success, attributable more to her free and easy style rathor than to the display of dramatic ability, While tn the Western country she contracted a marriage engage- ment with a man named Menken, whose name she bore throughout the many changes of her peculiarly changing career. She visited California, where she claimed to have been married to the Pagilist, Joha C. Heenan. Mr. Heenan's disavowal of the marriage {3 still fresh in the minds of many. About the year 1860 deceased appeared in this city, and played an engagement at the old National theatre, in Chatham street, then under the direction of the late Man- ager Purdy. She appeared on the bills as Captain Adah Isaacs Menken. She subse- quently appeared at the Bowery theatre, and after a brief engagement joined the company at the Canterbury Music Hall, then located on Broadway, near Bond street, About this time she became the Parnes for a short ime, however, of R. H. Newell, etter known inthe newspaper world as Orpheus C. Kerr. Failing as an actress in this country she determined to try her fortune tn the old, and in 1864 she made her appearance as Mazeppa in the ire Royal, Astley’s, London, and created quite a faror, Yrengh, hey acting was severely ctiticised and con- deiued. She next visited Paris, where she made the acquaintance of Dumas, pere, who was evidently captivated by the dashing American girl Beoom- ing homesick she paid a visit to this city about four years Ge nd ppened 14 her favorite plece of Ma- zeppa {i the Broadway theatre. This engagement was not particularly remunerative to the manager. After a short stay here she returned to Europe. Ever affecting a love for Domay. it ig no wonder thas her affections should drift towards the poet Algernoa Swinburne. Many were lier liasons, not oniy Lioningw é bnt abroad. In the gay capital of France, where late sie loved to dwell, her iast hours were spent, and there ahe died. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. Probable Murder of a Well Known Citizen. The body which was found floating in the Bast river, near the Brooklyn side, on Saturday last, haa at length been identified as that of Mr. Charles Ellet, of the firm of A. M. Biniger & Co., of No. 15 Beaver street, and from the evidence already collected there ig but little room for doubting that the unfortunate gentleman was foully and deilberateiy murdered.
