When the signal gun was fired the yachts all got a oir start. The Sappho was behind, but was steadily gaining on the Oimara, when the foregaif topsail we way. In spite of this accident she soon mended Mer speed and succeeded in passing the Oimara. She Was pushing ahead under fine headway and h good prospect of coming up with the other when her forebobstay parted, Temporary ‘epairs were made and the sclrooner was again ‘making up for her lost time when in consequence of ‘the loss of the bobstay her jibboom broke off, } All efforts to finish the race on her part were then @bandoned, as the boat was a wreck. + The following is a table of the time of all the Name.

FRANCE. Pence Assurances Multiplied. Panis, August 26, 1868, Marshal Vaillant, Minister of the Emperor's House- hold, was present at the opening of the Council General at Dijon, and made a speech calculated to have a highly tranquilizing effect coming so soon after that of the Emperor at Troyes. He congratulated the members of the council and the people of the department of the Qote d’Or on the successful harvests. The blessing of abundant crops, he said, was the more readily appreciated by the people, as they had reason to feel assured by recent events that they would enjoy their prosperity in peace. The Marshal made a happy allusion to the speech of the Emperor at Troyes, which he cited in support of his declarations, and he concludea his remarks with this sentence:— “Abundance in peace, but not maintained at the ex- pense of patriotism; this is the summary of the present position of France.” tho Sitaation.

Baez’s Troops Deserting—Reported Execution of Cabral—The Rumor Probably a Canard— Great Fire at Azua—A New Presidential Candidate. Havana, August 26, 1868, Our latest advices from the Dominican republjc are to the 20th inst. . President Baez was mobilizing large forces to put down the revolution; but desertion seemed to bea national failing of his troops and was prompted for the most part by the misery that prevailed among the government forces, A rumor wasin circulation to the effect that oMcial news had been received from Hayti announcing that General Cabral, ex-President, with twenty leading Dominicans, had been captured there and imme- diately shot. The report is probably a part of Bae- cist policy to terrorize the people of the South, who are, however, as well posted as to General Cabral’s movements and gvhereabouts as the Haytien friends of Baez can be, General Manzueta was at Liamaza. A great conflagration had taken place in Azua, destroying forty buildings, including a warehouse filled with petroleum, A band of independent patriots desire General Ulysses Espaillot tor President, ROSECRANS’ MISSION. Conferences Between General Rosecrans and Ex-Confederate Leaders—Excitemeut in Re- gard to the Coming Address—The South De- sirous for Peace and Harmony—Important Railroad Enterprise. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Greenbrier County, Va., Augast 25, 1868. } General Rosecrans and the ex-Confederate.gener- als and statesmen now here still continue, and the public are on the tip toe of excitement in regard to the coming address, which will be signed by Lee, Longstreet, Stephens and all of the Southern leaders, The General assures me there is no doubt of the earn- est will of the South to do everything in their power that will effect peace and harmony among all sec- tions of the country. This movement has brought numbers of distinguished people here, and the Springs are now thronging with politicians of every shade of opinion. . As an interesting item to financial men I mention that the contracts for the construction of the Coving- ton and Ohio road to the Springs from ln the ippnent terminus of the Virginia Central Rail- road, were yesterday let out to leading Virginia con- tractors, to be completed by May 1, 1869. One of these contractors, well known as one of the wealthi- est railroad builders, is Mr. Edward McMahon, a cousin of Marshall McMahon, of the French army, now Duke of Magenta. In such hands the work will be specdily finished, and ere long the connection of Norfolk with the Ohio river will be effected. This is the reconstruction that Virginia is 80 anxious to ef- fect with her offspring, Ohio, Illinois aud Indiana. General Rosecrans’ Visit Not of a Public Character—Johnson for Seymour and Blair= Seward on the Fence. Wore SULPHUR SPRINGS, West VIRGINIA, August 26, 1868, General Rosecrans’ mission here has no reference whatever to Mexican affairs, the opinions of leading Journals to the contrary, notwithstanding. It1s ofa purely private and not of a political character. In reference to the Presidential candidates, General Rosecrans represents that President Johnson is un- conditionally for Seymour and Blair, but that Mr. Sew: is non-committal. No formal inter- view has taken place between General Rosecrans and the leading Southerners. . According to his own ‘statements he came of his own accord to satisfy himself in a private manner as to the tone and temper of the South, and expresses himself gratified at the result of his observations, He has been invited by prominent men here to de- liver an address, but declined. The State Commissioners of Virginia and West Virginia convene here on Friday next for the pur- pose of contracting with responsible companies for constructing the Covington and Ohio Railroad.

It provides for the ap- pointment of a chief, who is to appoint his subordl- nates in each gounty—they to be under the control of the Governor—to enforce the laws and preserve order. i A member of the Committee on Privileges and Elections has presented a minority report as*to the eligibility of negro members. The point of order was made that the minority could not report before the majority. The Speaker said the committee had had six weeks in which to make a report, and having failed to report he decided that the minority report was in order, An appeal was taken and the Chair was sustained by a vote of 102 to 31. The minority report says that members holding seats who are not residents of the counties they re- present and also free persons of color are, under the State constitution, ineligible. There ts a@ disposition on the part of the majority to revent an imvestigation, A substitute was of- ered declaring that all negro members are ineligible, ‘The question arose whether members charged with ineligibility ‘should be allowed to vote each and separately on the question of the eligibility of others, The 8) Ker decided that one class of members on trial for eligibility should not yote on the eligibility of others, An appeal was taken from the decision of the chair and the chair was sustained by a vote of 9 to 20, MISSOURI.

Political Revolution in Maine—Deserting the Radical Ranke—Maine Democrats Repudi- ate a New York Organ. Avavsta, August 26, 1863. Farther investigation in the interior of the State shows increased hostility to the radical Congres- sional ticket by the laboring masses. The lumber booms are almost deserted. The shffyards are bar- ren monuments of ruined fortunes, and their oper atives are at work on the farms. The radicals are denounced for robbing them of their occupation, and their votes will be generally thrown for the Seymour ticket. Radical leaders admit that several towns on the Kennebec and Androscoggin, last year radical, will swell up democratic majorities, and that Angusta will wheel into line. The republicans have entered into the canvass with renewed energy, with Judge Kelley, General Hawley, Major Hi Ly and other speakers. General Sickles is expect inafew days. Gross personalities are indulged in by both parties, and antagonism runs high. mocracy was much jured by having circulated the campaign sheets of @ New York organ, containing obscene political literature, among religious voters, and many will not vote at all.

THE BROADWAY THEATRE OUTRAGE. The Prisoners Quinn and Ward Discharged on Bail—The Cases of the Prisoners Hickey, Moore and Leary Removed by Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court. James Ward and Thomas Quinn, two of the persons engaged in the late shooting affray at the Broadway theatre, were to have been examined at two o'clock P. M. yesterday at the Jefferson Market ,Police Court on that charge. At that hour the counsel on both sides and many friends of the prisoners were present. Judge Shandley, however, felt that before proceeding with the exammation it was proper that he should further ascertain the condition of the par- ties who had been wounded in the affray, and he therefore postponed the investigation until the re- turn of Mr. Blankman, whom he had sent to the New York Hospital to make the necessary inquiries, Mr, Traphagen again appeared on the part of Mr. Barney Williams, and gaid he understood that either the District Attorney or one of his assistants would be present to take charge of the case, and ashe thought the District Attorney was the proper person to doso he wished to await his arrival before pro- ceeding with the case. The Judge stated he would not go on with the ex- amination until the return of the messenger who had been sent to ascertain the condition of the wounded persons. QUINN AND WARD DISCHARGED ON BAIL. After waiting a length of time, and the District Attorney hot appearing, Mr. Wm. F. Howe, who said he arpeered to defend the accused, at the request of Sheriff O’Brien, tendered bail ‘for the appear- ance of the prisoners Quinn and Ward whenever they should be calted on to answer the charge. After consulting with the counsel on both sides the Judge decided on accepting bail and fixed the amount at $5,000 each. Mr. T. Smith became bonds- man for both deiendants. Previous to being dis- charged the accused were formally examined, when Quinn said ho was a special deputy sheriff, was twenty-seven years of age and born in Ireland; that he was not guilty of the offence charged and would establish his innocence on the hearing of the case. Ward said he was twenty-six years of age, was & deputy sheriff and born in New York; that he was not guilty and would establish his innocence at the proper time. This formality having been performed they were discharged and joined their friends in the court room. The messenger by this time had arrived from the hospital, and he stated that Mr. W. A. M. Wain- wright, the surgeon in charge of the wounded per- sons, had refused to change the certificate he haa given the day before (and which has been already published), stating that Chamberlain’s wounas were of a very serious character and might prove fata! Owing to this fact Judge Shandley deciined to e amine the cases of George Hickey and James Moore, deputy sheriffs, and Denis Leary, court officer, who are still locked up on the charge of being engaged in the affray. THE JUDGE SERVED WITH A WRIT OF CERTIORARI. Shortly after the Judge’s decision in the latter cases had been given Mr. Howe served him with the foi- lowing writ of certiorart:— The people of the State of New York to Edvard J.

ANOTHER ACT OF “FOUL PLAY” AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE. An Injanction Granted Against the Theatre by Judge Barnard—It is Served During the Performance—Almost a Riot—Intense Excites ment of the Andience. It was generally supposed by the theatrical profes- sion and the public at large that after the bloody affray at the Broadway theatre on Monday evening last, the difficulty was settled for the time being, and that the matter would be permitted to take its legal course in the courts, This, however, proved to be @ mere delusion. Last evening the theatre was open as usual and the performance had nearly reached the end of the third act, whena man was seen to pass from the auditorium on to the stage, and make at once for Mr. D. H. Harkins, the princi- pal actor in the drama of “Foul Play,” and who was just at that moment going through with one of the most important scenes in the piece, There were on the stage at that me Mr. Harkins, Miss Hawthorne, and a gentleman whose name we did not as- certain, but who was personating the part of Gene- ral Railiston, Without speaking a word this man advanced towards Mr. Harkins, and attempted to thrust a paper, folded im the shape of a legal docu- ment, into his hand, at which act actors and audi- ence became terribly excited. Some of those on the stage rushed from the sides to the footlights, while many persons in the auditorium made a rush for the stage and others for the door. At this time the house was all excitement, nearly the entire andience shouting “Don’t take it! don’t take it! and “Kick him out! while some of the cooler heads had the presence of mind to persuade the people to keep their seats. The excitement at this junctare was at fever heat, and it but required a very little spark to inaugurate ariot, which, forta- nately, was ebviated by Mr. Harkins stepping for- ward and taking the paper from the individual who had climbed upon the stage. Having accomplished his object the man leaped from the stage, and, amid the hisses and howls of the audience, made his way as quickly as ible towards the door, thence into the street, where he was soon lost to view in the crowded thoroughfare. Mr. Harkins, without looking at the document, handed it to one of the attachés of the theatre, and the rest of the act proceeded without further interruption, the audience in the meantime having become seated and somewhat quieted. After the drop curtain had de- acended upon thi# act the au oe to @ man arose and shouted and applauded as an qudience have seldom shouted or applanded be- fore., The curtain Was run up a second time, but this did not satisfy those Present, who kept continually shouting “Harkins !* “Harkins !'* Mr. Wm. A Moore, the manager of the theatre, who was at this time upon the stage, #tepped for- ward, and after thanking the audience for their good wiil said that Mr, Barney Williams was the proprie- tor of the theatre and that he endorsed every act of the attaches of his establishment and would stand by them to the last. After the cheers that greeted ulis speech had‘subsided Mr. Moore continued:— “You have ali witnessed the act of an individual who but just now made his way apon this stage from the front, not daring to again enter by the pas. where but @& few nights ago blood —and hoping to have no further dimicuity ning. must beg of you to remain quietly ‘ed while we proceed with the rest of the play.’ Mr. Moore was loudly cheered upon concluding, Sut the cries for “Harkins” still continuing, that gentie- man came forward and in afew brief remarks thanked those a of their kindness, and fin- ished by on hat he had never yet done any deed that he was ashamed to acknowledge, and tat hia heart stood a8 a shield between him and his honor. After the loud huzzahs and applause had again given place to silence the play waa Ppa a with, the entire aadience remaining until ft was finished. The man who caused all this dangerous excite- ment, It was afterwards ascertained, was neither an officer nor a deputy sheritf, but a Mr. James Williams, a bookkeeper in the employ of Mr. James T. Lloyd, the present lessee of the New York theatre.

LACROSSE. Exhibition at the Capiteline Grounds. ‘The twenty-four players of this national game of Canada arrived on the Capitoline grounds yesterday afternoon at three o’clock. They had journeyed many hundreds of miles to exhibit their great spe- clalty to the American public; but the sojourners hereabout, thinking too much of the national game of base bazl, which at the time was being success- fully developed at the Union grounds between the Mutuals and Haymakers, kept away the crowd, and only one hundred and ten persons greeted the strangers. They came with all their implements and without delay appeared on the fleld. They were dressed alike, with but two exceptions. Red sashes aud white caps, with gray pantaloons, white shirts ana knit legging, were worn by the side styling themselves the ‘Crescents,’? while the “Dominions” wore blue caps, blue sashes, with tho balance of costume similar to the other. When they appeared the hundred throats shouted, and soon the athletes, none over twenty years of age, averaging 130 pounds, fair-faced gen- tlemanly bowed to the shouts, The number was soon divided into two sections, red and blue being the distinguishing characteristic colors, and the fol- lowing were the geutiemen allotted to each:— Blue, Red. Hornsnell. Becket. Bein, Hill, Stenbouse. McBride. Young. Ferguson. Isaason. ‘Thomson, Robinson, Bager, Massey. Brindley. Moir, Wheetiag. Cunningham. Calder, Harper. A. Thorn. : Armstrong. Graham, Hyde, J. Thorn. ‘The players were perfect athletes in appearance. Their brawny shoulde: jean cut legs and faces were enough to convince the most critical (hat there was stuff of the right shape among them. It nad been arranged that three games out of five should constitute a victory, and after a deal of playing red sash took the laurel wreath of the conquest, The game of Lacrosse 1s briefly this:— The sport is much more exciting than base. ball, requiring more player and greater activity and skill; There are twelve players on each side. Two flags are placed six feet apart on ataife six feet nd ata distance of one hundred and eighty yards two corresponding tugs are fixed. The playing takes place between these two points. all qponge India rubber bail is used, The object of the piayer is to drive the ball between the two tings of the opposing sides; and the men are statfoned #o that this can be done only by great skill and dexterity. To protect the goal there 1s a goal keeper between the flags, who has the defence of the ground alx feet in front of him, on which no player has aright to obtrude, unless while in the act of trying to drive the ball between The “page. Twelve fect” from. the the “point” man, whose duty it is to keep the ball away; and twelve feet further the “cover-point” man fs stationed for a Iikg purpose. Opposite the “point” man fs placed one of the plavers of the opposite side, known as the “home”, man, Whore duty it is to knock the ball between the flags if it comes within isteach. The arrangement at the opposite alde of the field is the same. jationed at interval in centre of the field. Two of these men, whose duty it is start the ball, are known as “facers. The Instrument used in this game 1s known As a “crosse.’* It haa a slightly curved handle, with neariy the shape of & horseshoe, This ts covered with tigh network, and is used hot ouly to atrike the ball but to catch nd carry ik, ““The ball having been started from the centre of the field sixteen men immediately begin a struggle to drive it to differ- ent parts of the field, while four additional men join in the Contest as soon as the ball approaches one of the goals, None of the players except the “goal m: allowed to touch the ball with bis band. The later can stop {tm progress with body, bands or ‘crosse.” After the ball has been started to- ward one side of the field the effort to stop ite further pro- 1 because 40 many persons are constantly engaged in iewhile as infrequently ibied. any ict and cunning devices are reso for the purpose o! the ball between the altagonist’s flaca.” i As the game commenced Colonel Isaacson acted as captain, while Messrs. Stewart and Brazer were judges for the “red,” and Messrs. Leslic and Lagronaye were the judges for the “blue.” Witha few hundred more people the scene would have been one long to rewember. Sporting men, but only a few, siood by (knowing ones), yet the course of betting was apathy personified, and the muititude wish themselves homeward bound. THE GAMB. The silence was ominous. Soon the ball, like a gleam of light, was started by Isaacson, the ‘fucer’’ for the ‘red’? and Brindley forthe “blue,” the former stood but a moment, and sent it to the adversary flag, but “blue,” rallying in defence, a struggle ensued and the ball was sent to the “red” flag. Robinson, better known as the “Trickster,” picked the ball up and by cunning a and gg home thrusts carried it dan- Rtccusy pear ie “blue” it was Checked by Thom, passed to Brindley, and after sharp contests it was at last pushed through by Sir Robert Graham to the “blue” Nags, and the first game is won by the “biues.”” Time, twenty-two minutes. ‘The second game was the same as the first, the re- lative trickery and skill being more fully exempll- pond wgl after Apisg ones Cy A pene son, the young boy, shot the ball throngh the flags, and ned” was the winner in thirty minutes. The third game was won in the same peculiar mode by Robinson, of the “reds,” in seventeen min- utes, and the fourth game was won by the same color by Stenhouse in three minutes, thus giving the victory to the “rects.”” ‘This game in Canada ia of the most excitin, tare. ousands turn out to witness the most fee- ble exhibition, and when the Indians, with whom it inated, measure “crosses” with the veteran white players of Montreal there are tens of thou- sands to witness it. For a successful game there is required endurance, trickery and skill, and when these tery are gy oe! “Lacrosse”? may be thought weil of m the States, but it never can sup- plant the old theory—base bail.

Y. The particulars have been already given tothe Dublic of the death at Clarkstown, Rockland coun’, N. Y., of Mrs, Margaret J. Gamble, under um stances which gave rise to the suspicion that ier de- mise had been accelerated from other than natural causes, Her case was briefly this:—According to one account she was the widow of a Mr. Fulton, wan kept a saloon in Centre some years since. tHe lefr her some money and leasehold property, variously estimated at from $70,000 to $125,000, after wards married a man named Robert G. Gable, who had no particular occupation, and with whom she lived at 613 East Twelfth street, in this city, for two years, until the Ist of last May, when they re- moved toClarkstown, Rockland county, and pur- chased @ farm from a person named: Mrs. tHajns. Towards the latter end of July she became exrvet- ingly unwell, and died the morning of the 2a of August. Previous to her death her husband, Gain- ble, it is alleged, preferred the company of Mrs. Fiajus to that of his sick wife, and in her dyteg mo- ments sent his servant girl to take a diamond ri off her finger, which the girl refused to ¢ le however, took tt oif immediately died. No funeral ceremonies or services were pe formed coma, over her remains, which were put in despatched to New York, and buried in Gre Cemetery without delay. The deceased had s brothers in New York, to whom, liowever, ( gave no information of what had occurred, fact, coupled with the suddén manner of tie excited & good deal of comment in tke com Clarkstown, .A resident of that place inforiaed | n-- tice Stevens, of Piermont, of lus suspicious, a! re quested him to go to Clarkstown before tLe Loy Was sent away for Interment. ‘The Justice went and requested Gamble to show his burial permit, This was done, and, provi be satisfactory, the body was allowed to go, ually, on the representations of tie bi deceased, the remains were exhumed an‘! plic the hands of Dr. boremus, of ) York, and Shepard, of Brooklyn, who made a nor br. amination. Gamble and Mrs. Hajus were ar to. awalt investigation. Dr. Doremus too. of the stomach, liver and Lines, which to perform a chemical analss the purpose of discovering if poison kL been administered. When he notifcs Flavin, of Brooklyn, that the tiny pleted an inquest will be held and facts put in evidence, it inter investigation yesterday beto Nanuet, but it was deemed advis: matter until the result of the Doctor closed. Mr. Henry Daily, who is ex brothers of the deceased to work out the p: spent part of yesterday and the day before town hunting up all the available evi case, There was little of any cou ered. ‘The neighbors hold di on the subject of this ing. Those who were ac deceased state that she was & perate habits, and when under th sey whiskey indulged in some ver before the people of the village, tended her as family physician states si or less sick from the time sne ey the first of last May, and that she was in taking liberal potations of whiskey. Not le she died he interfered to prevent her t kiv sually large dose, ‘The same doctor furiinied the certifleate to Gamble Boe which be recetyed the burial permit. Others of the neighbors tnicrred from. the manner in which her death was treaioi by her husband, the unceremontons character of the burtat, the condition of the corpse, all swollen avout the stomach and neck, and the sud ica ss of the demise, that she must have been po ssned. ‘The fact that Gamble failed to iet her brothers kuow that she was dead is looked upon as presiimptive evidence of guilt, but those who profess to have bet- ter information say # was only natural that he should have acted so, when those same brot aud relations of her’s refused to recognize or abstained from visiting her when she was living. ‘They say tf she had died without leaving any pro- erty behind her or without leaving, as she «id, um fined will all she possessed to Gamble, no such case as the present one would have been heard of. Sone represent Gamble as a person of loose habits, others give him a more favorable character. Coroner Fiavin’s inquest wiil be likely to deteriutne th character of this latest sensation in the tragedy liae. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS. Charles Clark, son of G, W. Clark, of En field, N.
