He has prepared a report, addressed to bis friend Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York, which will soon be given to the public through the press, Dr. Hall 13 by no means tired of exploration, and purposes next spring to start anew ana push his journeying to the North Pole, He regards his ex- perience of the last ten years as invaluable to him as a preparation and ald tn the future.

Arrival of Three of Dr. Halls Party at New London, Cona.—Numerous Relics, Including Several Skeletons, of Sir John Franklin’s Expedition Found=—Story of a Native= Where Franktin and His Party Died. Norwicu, Conn., Sept. 26, 1869, The whaling schooner Cornelia, Captain Baker, bas arrived at New London from Cumberland Inlet, She brings as passengers three men velonging to Dr. C. F, Hail’s expedition in search of Sir John Frank- lin. Dr. Hall is a passenger on board the ship Ansil Gibbs, for New Bediord. He has a number of artl- cles belonging to Sir John Franklin, including some spoons and a chronometer box. He was also suc- cessful in finding the skeletons of many of his men and the remains of several of their boats. The skeletons and other things were found at King William’s Land. The Cornelia brought an anchor found at the extreme north, marked “E, 8. 1776," which 18 supposed to have belonged to the first explorers, Dr. Hall found a native, who claims to know all about the party. He says the ship was stove and the crew took to their boats and went ashore, where their provisions were exhausted and they died from starvation, The ice and snow prevented Dr Hall from making fall explorations. He will return next summer and still further prosecute the search, The Ansil Gibbs will arrive at New Bedford in a day or two. VIRGINIA. The Senatorial Contest=New Complications Prospects for the Election of a Radical—The Presidents Brother-in-Law a Candidate—A New Yorker Proposed for the Place. WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 1869, The following has been received from Rich- mond:— Each day the Senatorial question here assumes a different aspect, and the names in public favor to-day give place to others deemed to be more popu- lar to-morrow, Even now it 1s impossible to bame those who will be fortunate enough to be selected as actual candidates, A tew days since it seemed as if General Robert Williams and either Franklin Stearns er John F. Lewis, the Lieutenant Governor, would be the lucky individuals, but new aspirants have loomed prominently fort the friends of yeh bringing his peculiar cial and influence to pear as Stl! ely as possible on the recently elected Lergsigsan he Walker party, with its immense mnajority, holds the election in its hands, but in the meantime @ compromise may in some manner be effected by which a representative of the decided radical party will be returned. This, if done, will be on the condition that all the radical influence shall be exerted to obtain national aid for comple- tion of the Virginia water line from its present ter- minus to the Ohio. In fact, a8 regards Senators m= mass of the people are totally indifferent as to the political proclivitios of the men who may be returned, provided they work incessantly for the above enterprise. Though Williams’ pros- pects are at present most brilliant his fight for the Senate will not be confined to the State. He must expect and be prepared to encounter enemies at Washington, gDay before yesterday a self-constitu- ted committee, consisting of Judge Rives, Mr. Paxton and United States Marshal Parker, visited Washington to smash the slates of Mrs. Douglas’ husbaad and smooth the path that leads to Senato- rial honors for Alexander Sharp, late postmaster of this city, and brother-in-law of the President. To counteract the administrative influence created here in favor of Willlams a letter will appear to- morrow from the aWove gentleman, denying that Grant has ever endorsed or in any way advocated the claims of Williams, and they will doubtless inti- mate very strongly that Grant desires the election of Sharp. In adaition to all this a new and unexpected candidate appears in the ring, The Whig o1 to mor- row has an editorial advocating the election as United States Senator of Horace Greeley. It states that the constitution only requires thirty yeara of age, hine years’ citizenship and a habitancy of the State of aday or an hour to perfect the necessary qualifications, and as the white-coated philosopher {s already a freeholder in the State he bas fuifilled eee requirement, The article concludes as fol- lows:— Mr. Greoley’s election would dissipate all our home didicuities and compose all our domestic fac- tions, Good—his loyalty 1s untnpeachable, and he would take wus back into the Union without a jostle. A belll.ose Butier him- self would be awed ito respectful and admiring silence, Better—Mr. Greeley has done us more harm, perhaps, than any other one person, but he 1s anxious to repair tt, He 1s the most influential unoiicial individual in this land, and is able to do the good work his heart ig set upon. Best—through all our latest troubles he has been our firm, unwav- ering and eificient friend. A generous, whole souled ecognition of the obligation would not be more fonorable to him than creditable to ourselves. With him and a fitting colleague the old State, after all her disasters, could still rank tho first in the land, and shine infer ignes luna mineres, ‘rhe same paper advocates the election of Williams as a Virginian, the nephew of Jack Pendleton, and one to whom the people here owe @ debt of gratitude for his unwavering friendship during their late trials and tribulations, A few moro days will probably develop whether Sharp can beat Williams, and whether Mr. Greeley will be successful tn throwing oll other aspirants of the track. The contest be- comes exciting and interesting in no small degree, THE PLAINS. Quiet Restored on the Pawnee Reservation= Fight Between the Sioux and Pawnees. CHICAGO, Sept, 26, 1869, A spectal despatch from Omaha says that reports received at headquarters from tho Pawnee reserva- tion state that quiet is restored. The Stoux, after a lively skirmish with the Pawnees, fled before the arrival of the cavalry, who pursued them nearly thirty miles. One Pawnee was killed and several were wounded, The Pawnees claim to have killed and wounded half a dozen Sioux. THE PACIFIC COAST. The Red Stockings of Cincinnati in San FranclscomDeath of an Ex-Confederate Ofticer. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 1860, Considerable excitement has existed among the base ball players of this city since the arrival of the Red Stockings of Cincinnati. Abont2,000 spectators were at the Recreation grounds to-day to witness a Match with the San Francisco Eagles. Nine innings were played, and the score stood—Red stockings, 35; Kagles, 4.

Defalcation of a Bank Officer. PROVIDENOR, Sopt. 26, 1869, A defalcation has been discovered in the National Exchange Bank of thia city, and the cashier has been arrested and held to bail. The amount so far discovered 19 about $25,000. The surplus of bank will cover all the probable defictency. Ban Examiner Mygott was ustrumental in ferreting out this doling: WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 1869, Secretary Boutwoll und the Wall Street Speculators, Secretary Boutwell takes @ different view of morals from the editor of the radical organ in New York with regard to selling gold. He says Greeley denounces Fisk and others as gold gambiers, and at the same time asks him to do as they do, “What would I have been," says Boutwell, “had I gone into Wall street when the excitement was at its height but @ gold gambler; besides, how could I have taken money from those infatuated to-day, as I would have been compelled to do had I gone into the speculation?” The Secretary does not propose in future to be controlled in any respect by Wall street, and this ts the secret of his order issued to-day, Additional Sales of Gold. The Secretary of the Treagury has quthorized the Assistant Treasurer at New York to sell $1,000,000 of gold each Tuesday and Friday tll November 1, com- menciog on Tuesday next; also to purchase $2,000,000 of bonds each Wednesday tll November 1, These sales and purchases are in addition to the sales and purchases on account of the sinking fund, which will be continued without change of the exist- ing mode, Tho Tenth National Bank of New York, The recent examination of the Tenth National Bank of New York was ordered in consequence of representations made to Secretary Boutwell that it was engaged in locking up gold and greenbacks, Dot because there was any doubt as to its solvency or of it ability to pay all demands, The committee, appointed to make the examination in the absence of examiner Coliender from the city, exonerate the bank from all complicity in any such scheme, and report the bank has done nothing to forfeit public confidence and support. Presentation of the New Danish Minister to the President, Mr. F. A. Bille, who for some time past has been Chargé de Atfuires of Denmark, was on Saturday introduced to the President by the Secretary of State, and before delivering his credentials made the fol- lowing remarks:— Mr. PRESIDENT—I have the honor to place in your hands the letter of his Majesty the King. In accom- lishing this duty and being thus accreditea to your Excellency as the Minister Resident of my august sovereign, I fecl called upon, and beg leave, to explain the spirit in which 1 believe it my task to represent his Majesty’s government in the United States, lowever remote any coun. try 1s, however small its extent and IMmited its influence, it stands in many respects in the European society asone of the bearers of American ideas. Democratic by its peoples genius, it is a country where some of the great principles represented to the world by this republic are carried out under different institutions it 1s true, but by an equally frugal, industrious law-ablaing population, devoted to its constitutional liberty as well as to its royal rulers, fond of knowldge and aim- ing at that system of self-government which Qnds its best model in these United States, His Majesty the King understands that a concise friendship between nations bas a broad and safe basis in such similarities of the people’s mind, aud has been happy to seize an opportunity for are- newed expression of his own personal feelings for this republic, and for you, Mr. President, in whom the world recognizes the great leader and the true representative of the American people. I venture to add a word on my own behalf. I am giaa to say tbat I am _ already not entirely @ stranger here, and I beg leave to assure your Ex- cellency that as 1 have tried hitherto to make myself Neadon & of the position I am going to occupy, tt shall henceforward be the object of my endeavors to acquire that confidence on the part of your Excel- lency which I am sure will, in the cyes of my own government, be the best proof of my suliciency, The President replied as follows:— Mr. Bille, you aro peculiarly welcome as the Mimister Resident here of your Sovereign, from our knowledge of your character and of your goodwill towards the United States hitherto during your s0- Journ in this country, It seems to me that'you can- not be charged wit! Ratled or exaggeration in your description of Denmark. The high qualities Which you attribute to the subjects of that kingdom are generally acknowledged, and are confirmed by the not inconsiderable experience of such of us as have had the advantage of seeing them on their native soll. The kind wishes which you express on behalf of his Majesty are peas reciprocated by me, especially as I consider that he has afforded @ delicate proof of his sincerity, and of a regard for the continuance of the friendly relations between the two countries by selecting you as bis repre- sentative, = Texas Appointments. In pursuance of the policy of the administration in regard to Texas politics W. B. Moore has been appointed Assessor and Philip Branbach Collector of the Third istrict of Texas, vice Hays and Lane, suspended.

Sr. Louis, Sept. 26, 1809, John T. Sayers was brought here on Friday from Wellsville, Mo,, by the Marshal of this city, charged with being in complicity with two confederates in passing a large amount of counterfeit greenbacks, and drawing money on raised ohecks upon banks in Austin, Texas. Sixteen thousand dollars was realized in this way by Sayers and his confederate, one of whom, named Pepper, was arrested and turned State evidence. About $30,000 in countérfeit notes and a large quantity of raised drafts vere found on the men. Sayers was taken to Texas restemay, MINNESOTA. Great Freshet in the Mississippi—Destruction of Grain and Hay Orops—Democratic Nomi- nations. CrIcaco, Sept. 26, 1869, A despatch from St. Paul says a acluge of water fell on Thursday and Friday nights, and the Mississippi river is again on the rise. All the bottom lands of the Minnesota river are overflowed, and the hay crop in that region, as well as on the larger pratries, is ruined. Farmers from different sections claim that fully one-half of the grain crop, not threshed and housed at the time of the previous storm, is ruined. Oliver Dal- rymple, tho largest wheat grower in the State, esti- mates his loss on hia crop at 80,000 bushels. Good judges say the damage to wheat alone by the late great'storms throughout the State cannot be less than 5,000,000 bushels, while two-thirds of the hay ¢ rop is worthless, Tho following nominations have been made by the Minnesota Democratic State Conventton:—For Governor, George L. Otis; for Lieutenant Governor, J. A. Wiswell; for Secretary of State, T. G. Flade- land, NEW YORK. Attempt to Domolish a Ratlroad Train. ROCHESTER, Sept. 26, 1869, An attempt was made this evening to throw the Wostward bound Albany and Rochester accommoda- tion train from the track between Newark and Pal- myra by means of a tie thrust down between the timbers of a bridge and others placed across the track.

The Public Schools of Cincinnatt—The Bible Question. CINCINNATI, Sept. 26, 1869, About 500 people responded to the callior a meet- Ing of those favoring the expulsion of the Bible from the schools, The meeting was disorderly, Resolu- tions favoring the expulsion of the Bible were pro- sented and a vote taken, 80 near a tic that the chair- man could not decide by voices and a division was called for, Still the chairman could not decide and the resolutions went by default. The prospect that the Board of Education to-morrow night will pro- hibit the reading of the Bible in the schools amounts almost to @ certainty.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1869.—TRIPLE SHERT MUSICAL AXD THEATRICAL NOTES. Music and the drama, like twin green bay trees, have flourished quite extensively in the metropolis uring the past week. In the way of music we have had English, French and German opera, the first one of the four proposed Pattl concerts and the regular evening orchestral concerts at the Ventral Park Garden. Our dramatic menu, though lacking the novelty, nas, so far as regards attractiveness, been on a par with our operatic. Both, owing to their general excellence, have been exceedingly well patronized. The revival of old plays and the retention on the boards of the few new ones which were found suMctently strong to “draw” was the order of the past, ang will be for the present week, with but two or three exceptions, At most of our theatres the programmes of last week are again announced for repetition. ‘The principal dramatic event of the week will be the production this evening of Mr. Robertson's new comedy entitled “Progress” at Wallack’s. As a lit- erary effort, this ptece is sala to exceed in power and beauty anything of the kind its popular author has yot wrilten. Itistobe produced in Mr. Wal- lack’s characteristic style, with a strong cast and magnificent scenery and will doubtless prove a suc- ceas. Miss Louisa Moore makes her first appearance at this theatre this evening in “Progress” in a rile ominently sulted to her sympathotic style. Mr. J. W. Wallack, Mr, John Gilbert, Mr. Charles Fisher, Mr, Stoddart, Mr, Williamson and Mrs, John Sefton are also fn the cast, Next in order is the revival at the Fifth Aveaue theatre of Boucicault’s five-act comedy of “Old Heads and Young Hearts,” which piece has not been seen upon the stage in this city since rare old Rufus Blake died. Mr. Davidge, who is to sustain the character of Jesse Rural, was tno ortginal rep- resentative of the part some twenty-five years ago in Liverpool, long before the piece was brought out in this country. Miss Marie Longmore, the sprightly little burlesque beauty of the London stage, is to make her first appearance in the piece as Kate Racket. “Old Heads and Young Hearts” will be given on this and to-morrow evenings, and for the remainder of the week we are to bave “London Assurance,” with Mr. E. L. Davenport as Str Har- court Courtly and Miss Fanny Davenport as Lady Gay Spanker. Miss Bateman this eventing enters upon the second week of her engagement a» Booth’s theatre, where, up to the present time, she has been attracting and delighting large and fashionable audiences by her artistic and powerful impersonation of “Leah.” The pecullar gifts she possesses and the earnestness which characterizes her style, impart to her imper- sonations a lifelike reality that carries the sympa- tnies of the audience with irresistible force and wins for her an enthusiastic approval. It ia a plea- sure Lo record the hearty welcome extended by our citizens to the young American tragédienne on her return to her native country, flushed with European triumphs. The present is tne last week of ‘Patrie’ at the Grand Opera House. On Monday evening next “The Tempest” will be revived at this establishment with ail of 118 original scenery, its sheet tron thunder, its chemical lightning and a new cast. To-morrow evening will make the one hundredth night of Miss Lucille Western's present engagement, which occa- sion has been set aside for her benefit, when *‘East Lynne” will be given, this being the fourteen hun- dredth time of her ppogarenes 1n that piece. “Formosa” ig still attracting large audiences at Niblo’s. Since its first production the piece has been improved in various manners, and, aside from ite not over virtuous moral, 18 now quite an enjoyavie performance, Like most of the sensational pieces produced of late years at this theatre, “Formosa” will probably be Kept upon the boards until “all creation” has witnessed it, and, like most of the other pieces, will leave “all creation’? none the better for having done so. < Poor “Uncle Tom,” who for the past three weeks has been going to heaven nightly in a flaming rea shirt at the Olympic, has reached the last nights of his exploita, and with the ending of the present week will be consigned to sweet oblivion—“tae place where good niggers go.” On Monday evening next “The Streets of New York’ will be revived, with a strong cast and appropriate scenery. ‘The dramatic entertainments at Wood's Muscum for the present week comprise the Rand Sisters in “The King’s Musketeers”’ at the matinées and Zavis- towski Sisters in the new burlesque of “Wip Wan Winkle’ in the evening. A new spectacular sensa- tion is in active preparation at this estabishment, apd will probably be brought out in # few weeks, It ls rumored that Mile. Rita Sangali is engaged to Appear in the piece in # rote written expressly for er. The first of the Pattt concerts was given at Stoin- way Hall on last Saturday evening, under the man- agement of Mr. Max Strakosch, and was an une- quivocal success. Mlle. Carlotta Patti and the rest of the arusts acquitted themselves in a very credit- able manner, The second concert will be given at the same place this evening, the third on Wednes- day and the fourth on Thursday. ‘o-morrow even- ing Mile. Patti will sing in Brookiyn, and ou Monday next in Newark. The present is the third and last week of the English opera at the Thédtre Francais under the direction of Mme, Parepa-Rosa, ‘Fra Diavolo will be given this evening, *‘Maritana” to-morrow, and “Martha” on Wednesday. Notwithstanding tho fact that many of the principal artists up to the present time lave been but imperfectly up in thew parts the season has been a most decided success, As for the prompter, he must at times imagine him- self one of the principal characters upon the stage; for he speaks loud enough to be heard all over the house, even above the din of the orchestra, thereby detracting considerable from the enjoyment of the performance. We commend him to study modera- tion. A word to the wise is sufficient. ‘The season of Grand French opera, at the Academy of Music, is also meeting with a fair share of public patronage. “Les Mousquetaires de la Reine’ will Be repeated this evening. ‘lo-morrow “Lucie de Lammermoor,” with M Bleau in the titke role, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesduy are the opera nigiits at the Academy. Me Bowery theatre, as usual, offers its myriad patrons an entire change of bill for the present week. A new French sensation, entitied ‘Satan; or, the Blind Girl of Parts,"’ and ‘Leah, the Jew's Daughter,” Will be produced this evening, with tie full strength of the Bowery company. ‘Tammany likewise oifers a new programme for the present week. ‘em Mace,” “the great belted belter,” continues his classical statues, and Lord Byron aad Harriet Beecher Stowe are to be doae to the life in tableaux. ‘The Theatre Comiqae reopens this cvening 8 a varieties theatre, under the management of Mr. R. W. Butler. A good bill, and a “host of talent,” of the varieties order, are the inducements for a crowded house. At Tony Pastor's Opera House “The Veteran's Wife,’ a now millttary drama, is the principal fea- ture, besides which the customary amount of songs, sketches and “light fantastic” flourishes are also an- nounced. At the Waverley theatre five Zanfrettas and five Carons are the new additions on the bills in the Way of “talent.” ‘These personages will appear in some “startling acts,” also ia a pantomime entitled “The Village Baker.” Bryant's Minstrels are as funny and amusing as ever, In addition to the usual olla podrida of songs, gigs, jokes and sketcies, Dan Bryant this evening Will burlesque “Jem Mace’ in what he calls “Black Statues."” The San Francisco Minstrels still retain their pop- ularity, notwithstanuitng the fact that they them- selves considered it necessary last week to import “negro talent’ from the London Alhambra. They offer a splenaid minstrel programme for the present week. Professor Herrmann, the “‘prestidigitateur,” will astonish the Jerseyites at Trenton and Kizabeth to-night and to-morrow with his wonderful tricks of sleight-of-hand. On Thursday and Saturday even- ings he again holds forth in this city, at te Academy Usic. jh ‘The concerts at the Central Park Garden come to an end to-morrow evening, when Levy, the cornet player, takes a benefit, he “Order Eiks"—the minstrel benevolent asso- clation—wtli give their annua! matinée performance at the Academy of Music to-morrow afternoon. The troupes of dusky comedians from Bryant's, the San ‘rancisco and Hooley’s Minstreis, aiso representa- ves from the Tammany, Tony Pastor's, Comique and Waveriey theatres, and the Olympic theatre, Brooklyn, will assist at the entertainment. At the Park theatre, Brookiyn, @ new drama, entitied “The Woman in Red,” will be produced this evening for the first time, with Mr. and Mrs, F. B. Conway sustaining the princtpal roles, Hooley’s Minstrels, Brooklyn, are not behind their New York friends of the burnt cork family in their attractions for the present week, “ip Van Wiakie,” and “The Beastly Family” are their last novelties, Measrs “Rip Van Winkle’ and Joseph Jeiferson will be introduced to the appreciative Newarkers this evening by Mr. Dan Symons. These worthies will hold a second reception in the same enterprising town to-morrow evening. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS ITEMS, A dwelling house in Lowell, Mas3., was slightly damaged by fire on Saturday.

Of course everybody knows and no doubt kfy some hours ago that yesterday was a stormy day in every particular. The rain which fell on Tuesday and Wednesday last was supposed by many to be the dreaded equinoctial, which had divided its forces for this season and sent the gale along some time since, doing damage along the coast, and had left the rain to come last week quietly but aurely. Tnose who indulged in such ideas must now feel that they were in error. The showers of the past were but the Pilot-fish which preceded the shark, On Saturday night the wind commenced to bustle about. It struck and pressed down sturay limbs of stalwart trees, so that the latter shook as if with rage in fignting against the elements, and the limbs, struggling against the pressure of old Boreas, scat- tered freely their leafy coatings. Yesterday morning the battle still waged. Window bitnda were banged and battered backward and forward by the sulky god, window panes were shaken most impudently and made to rattle a warning to the dwellers in the houses of the angry mood of Boreas and his right hand man, Eke Y. Noxial. In their flerce attack on everyching and everybody within their reach, they seemed even to batter the clouds and chase them along at such a pace that from every pore the perspiration poured. Even the harmless drops from the perspiring clouds the tyrants would not allow to pass them unheeded. They caught them and dashed them down on the poor devoted earth with unrelenting fury. They completely de- siroyed the poctical idea of beautiful rain. They would not allow tt to come pattering down, but they sent it in blinding sheets; slashing and splashing on pave and housetop, against the windows with sweeping effect, and upon morcals unfortunate enough to be out of doors, drenching them wherever it touched, and causing them to envy the comfort of those who gazed through sheets of glass and water at thetr discomforiure, The storm this time is beyond doubt the “real original” equinoctial, and may ere ita race be run make that fact disagreeably prominent. The Storm in Brooklyn. The equinoctial gale swept the leaves from the trees and deluged the streets of this city in such a manner as to give a due warning toali of the rapid approach of winter. The churches were but sparsely attended during the afternoon and evening. A huge tree in front of the house No. 339 Atlantic street, near Hoyt, was blown down and fell against No, 341, demolishing windows and shutters, and causing damage to the amount of about seventy-five dollars, At the corner of State and Henry streets a large tree was also blown across the street, obstruct- ing travel for a short time, It waa finally removed by the police and some citizens. In South Brooklyn parts of some of the streets were washed away, but no serious damage was reported, The Storm in Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26, 1869.

Atlongth the spirited challenge some time since issued by Mr. George W. Kidd, Commodore of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, to sail the schooner Alice against the Eva, for a valuable consideration, has been accepted by the owner of the latter, The con test has long been discussed in yachting circles, and now that it will shortly become a matter of fact the event must be anticipated with the brightest nopes; for the elements being favorable a sterling and exciting race will unquestionably take piace. It might be well to refer to the cause of the challenge, not that there should not have been tenfold as many challenges already sent forth, bus the circumstances under which Commo- dore Kidd cast down the gauntlet are peculiar, and the result of the struggle will doubilesa develop a now phage in yachting. It will be remembered that last spring Mr. Lorillard, the then owner of the Eva, offered to sail her against any yacht afloat. Among others anxious to respond, Commodore Kidd would doubtiess have pitted the Alice against her, had it not been tnat neither his spars nor sails were in proper trim at the time. The challenge was then allowed to pass unaccepted. Meanwhile Mr. Loril- lard sold the Eva to Mr. Mahlon Sands, and during the ensuing summer cruise of the New York Yacht Ciub she galiantly bore away a prize, firmly estab- lishing her reputation as a very fast speeding vessel. Under such favorable circumstances it was quite natural to suppose that the challenge issued by Mr. Lorillard while owner of the Eva (although she had since changed hands) was still open, and Commodore Kidd, ever anxious to respond to it, now took it up and in turn shied forth his yachting castor into the sva of fame. It appears he was particuarly prompted to adopt that course owing to the fact that the two schooners were almost of equal size, It was his dedire, too, that the two yacits should sail a3 nearly as possible on equal canvas, and he accordingly offered to sail the Eva for a purse of $2,000 irom Sands’ Point to Stratford lightship and ba The challenge iasucd by the Commodore was characterized by not a little originality, while the result will certainly be looked forward to with great interest. In order to equalize the canvas he deemed tt more prudent to have both yachts sail under lower canvas, set below mast heads—viz., mainsail, foresati, jio and flying jib. Commodore Kidd's cnailenge was issued as the Eva had just started on a cruise, Subsequently, how- ever, Mr. Sands expressed his readiness to enter into friendly hostilities, though he seemed somewhat unwilling to sali the Eva on even canvas. It was roposed on her behalf to bend her lug jib and lug Rorazatl which would give her, at least, twenty-five per cent more canvas than the Alice. It may be weil to mention that the reputation of the Eva is very favorable, being generaiiy regarded as a first class racer. Under the conditions Of the contest it i certainly very spirited on the part of Commodore Kidd to enter into it; and should the Alice keep within @ respectable distance of the swift and handsome Eva she will deservedly merit the higuest encomiums. The betting 1s naturally in favor of the Eva. Indeed tne contest is likely to prove @ one-sided affair, though there is really no knowing how the struggle may terminate. The Alice has been chiefly used by her owner as a pica- sure craft, never having been thoroughty rigged or sparred for racing purposes; in fact she has never been entered in any of the races given under the auspices of the New York Yacht C.ub, In the con- tests, however, in which she has been engaged, in connection with union regattas and those of the Brooklyn Yacht Ciub, the Alice hag invariably carried off the honors of theday. That ste ossesses great merit there is no doubt, otherwise er owner Wouid never piace her against such an ex- ceilent schooner as the Eva, which is too widely known to require commeat. Beyond question the Alice has enjoyed the reputation of being a very fine specimen model of a schooner, being built by her resent owner about three years ago. The steps of er masts have been chauged more or less; she has had new sails and spars according to her aitered rake, Altogether her speed has been considerably improved since she was first launched. The Eva ag former, sloop yacht, but was some me Hace Jualotonsly Itered to @ schooner. The annouricement of the race has al- ready excited the greatest comment, since the contestants are nearly of tho same dimensions, The triéndly struggie between the yachts will come off to-morrow, the course, 9% already mentioned, being from Sands’ Point to the Stratford lightship and back.

Mr. Baas, who decidedip seems to be the most athletic of the whole crew, and whose splendid phystque in the desoriptions that have hitherto been given of the contemporary crews has not been fully set forth, nobiy declined, in defe- rence to the desire of Captain Loriitg, to form one of the participants in tne struggle, in order that the Harvard crew might have the com- pletest chance of victory. Now, it was well known that the greatest reliance was placed on Bass. Be- fore the crew started for Europe ho was regarded as the great bulwark, the invulnerable wall of strength, Mr, Syivie Durand, of the Astor House, who is admitted to be a tolerably good judge of muscle, pronounced Bass and Rice to be the superior muscular force of the crew, and certainly in the rejection of those gen- tlemen it {3 plain thut Harvard made its grand mnia- take. The result has satisfactorily proved that fact. Bass and Rice aro: naturally disappointed, and with reason, for the crew seemed to have failed in the very point where the tremen- dous power and determination of Rice and Bass might have proved a triumph. Regrets are useless, Boyond doubt, however, Bass above aN others should have heen retained, for however electric the efforts of his substitute, he was wanting in that grea muscular dash that might have earned the honors. It 1s useless to dilate upon the contest now, but ex- perience has clearly proven that the selection of a crew must be guided by judicious discrimination, Mess. at the aL per steame. made knowm ing them and th A.—Ten Years’ Labor Rewarded.—For Ten years Phalon & Son, the rated Toilet Chemists, h: n experimenting to prod reparation for reat gray hair to its natural tint, which should be free from an hoxlons or objectionable ‘element, and in short a perfectly olution of healtful ingredients uncontaminated by el, Thelr long Inbors have ceas.
