TIE WASHED DENOCRACY, Opening of the Public Baths Yesterday. PROSPECTS OF METROPOLITAN CLEANLINESS. Scenes and Ineidents in the Water. eee GREAT SUCCESS OF THE ENTERPRISE. Biatistios of Bathing and Bath Mecessities. iS A HORSE CLEANER THAN A MAN? ‘The first public baths established im this city ‘were opened yesterday, under the auspices of William M. Tweed, President of the Department of Public Works. The houses situated at the foot of Fifth street, Kast river, and at the foot of Thir- teeuth street, North river, were filled from morn§ ing till their close at night by weary and soiled throngs of the populace, and the day’s doings Plainly demonstrated that bathing in New York is a luxury Which the people at large can duly appre- ciate. In order to see how lamentably deficient this city 1s at this ‘hour in accommodations to promote cleanliness, let us fodk at. the public wants It can safely be assumed twat New. York has a population of 1,000,000; indeed this was proved by the partial census com- Piled by the police under the direction of tiie late Su- perintendent, John A. Kennedy, Of this immense Population theré are about 550,000 Americans, 240,000 Irish, 150,000 Germans and 100,000 of mixed nation- alities, Qf these 1,000,000 souls 801,800 are females above age of fifteen, and of these femaies over 76,000 opmprise the working women of the metropo- lis. This population, upon a very general division, can he sald to gomprige six classes;— ; The wealthy class, "=" ~ The clase of ample méans. The class of meuerAte hicans. The ciaSS Who live by daily toil. ne class of uncertain resources. The pauper population. Of these six divisions only the three last enume- vated can be said to need any bath proyision on the part of the sanitary autnorities, * ‘Though those who are classed as possessing -abun- agit means havoall the tactlitics to keep clean and Make the datly acquaintance of fresh water, it is 4 A FALLACY to suppose that they are by any means as pure ih Dody as they believe money makes them in soul. ‘The reader may be startied at the declaration that those enjoying the loftiest social spheres oiten form @nucleus for the crystalization of bodily filth, Yeu such ig the case, That young man you see walking down Broadway, with those admirably fliting pearl- colored —_ pantaloons, those neatly polished shoes, that {immaculate linen and the * wrinkleless coat,,with the most gorgeous twists upon his hair and mustache, would hardly be pleas- ‘ant for the physical inspection of a physician, Be- side & workingman of the Fourth ward bis skin ‘would hardly gain anything in purity or whiteness by the comparison. It has been the fond theme of SOCIAL CRITICS comparisons as to the cleanliness of nt nationalities; but tt is extremely doubt- ful Tf anything tangible can be deduced even by the Most caralul staustics; for writers always assume ‘that those revolving in the upper circles are immacu- late, This.assertion is not true. Take, for instance, aman of luxurious leisure. He takes Iittle exercise, save behind a pair of 2:40's, Or on the waxed floor of a ballroom. He bathes, of Course; byt in bathing he does not use his bath as frequently as the workingman, who has to make a virtug Of necessity by removing the deposiis arising front daily toil. Hence it is that workingmen who Over the anvil and atthe forge are healthier fi those who simply follow of LIVES OF INDOLENT PLEASURE. ‘This may not be a untversal truth, but it is cer- tainly the result of observation as applied to the Upper and lower strata of society, Hence, while it is a blessing to have pubic baths in this city, it Would also be even a greater biessing if those who Own private baths would use them oftener, Keepers of elegant baths on Broadway and else- where assert that even in this warm Weather few “ of their regular customers bathe oftener than chica & week. This sanitary dereliction arises not from ex- a ant prices—for baths ac the best how-es cost bat thirty-five cents, and for the faney abinitons kndvn as Russian, ‘Turkish or vapor baths from one dollar and a quarter to two dollars, But ‘tn is a want of inelination. Iv takes til Money making 18 too important, and these geiMemen have barely me totuke ashave.

A very general provision 1s, where- fore, necessary Jor those who shouid be beneilted by pitas euterprise, and the baihs opened yesterday are bu A MERE EXPERIMENT. The papaxinent of Public Works has wisely taken hold of this movement in an ex- aited spirit, and from the evidences disclosed yesterday it will probaply succeed in affor ling the amplesi accommodations lor a quarter of a milton People, who now resort to the piers and wharves, here exposing their persons in early twilight or be- ‘tween the hours of six aud eight in the morning. Of course, for the security of the public morals, it is necessary Lo adopt measures to protect FEMALE bathers not necessary for males; but in Boston, Faris, and even in the private baths of New York, tt has alreaiy been shown that women will go into the ‘water when they can do so witli modesty and pro- priety. AT AN RARLY nour yerterday morning the immense bathing house put Bw, by the De ment of Public Works, at the foot of th street, jan to be the resort of large crowds of men and boys, and by two o'clock over 1,500 males had vistted the place and atssvived their a: quated barnacies in the waters of the Hast rive None, it isa pleasure to say, were found to be in- Soluble. The chemical properties of the element Beemed to attack the most animated forms of real estate, and no large aggregation of soil proved to be Wo impervious. The bathing house tiself is no novelty to New York, It ts very similar to the one for along time moored ‘at the foot of spel street and North river, but now mauaged by private partics at the foot of Tuirty- fourth street, North river. It is sunply ' A LUGE WOODEN FLOAT, with the sides uuder water, made of lattice work, and tbe wooden ‘oor is open tur the adialssion of Water, It Nlouts by its own buoyancy. Tie sides are painted drab, are of some architectural pretension, and ae made somewhat im imitation of Tue ‘“roMmas.” In fact the resembianco to tiie Tombs is very close, for the house fs reccangular, with a large area in the centre, Which nothing but a fleld of water. A depth of four feet was kept in the reservoir, if such it can be calied, throughout the day, On the four st’es, and running around the in- terior, are the boxes, sixty-eigit in number. These boxes are dressing slalls, provided With, hooks and bt seats, while @ Ventilator admits air and ra esterday bathing was ¥REK TO ALL without tickets, Whats swarm of boys this indule NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. fetice bronane | By ten o'clock the pack of urchins ‘ad swollen to @ mob, and an extra platoon of police ‘Was ordered tothe viola .

Nothing that thought or Kindness can suggest for the com- fort and welfare of the little ones is left undone by those havlug them in charge. The clean aud healthy appearance of the children and their happr faces fully attest to this. The girls’ mstitution is also flourishing and is rapidly Hilliug up. Scores of applicants are constautly arriving. A BOGUS CLERGYMAN. He Begs for Bread and Money, and Vows His Determination to Continue Doing So Until the Day of His Death, An old, white-haired, gentiemanly-looking indivi- dual was yesterday arraigned before Justice Bixby, at the Yorkville Police Court, by an officer of the Twen- ty-firet precinct, who preferred a charge of vagrancy against him. ‘The old man said his name was James Forbes, and denied the charge of the officer, al- though he admitted having begged for bread and taken money wage th ee tc. na d to the Court that he Was a Roman Cat yoian, who was reduced to his present condition, but he deemed it no disgrace to beg, aud he should continug to do so as long a8 he lived and circumstances compelled him. | He referred tne Court to Father McMahon, Dr. McGlynn and several other well known Roman Catholic clergymen of this caf to prove that he was what he Frurerented, himself to be. Father McMahon and Dr. McGlynn were inter- viewed by an officer of the Court, but they denied any knowledge of the man and declared him to be an imposter. Justice Bixby accordingly committed him, and he will be handed over to the tender mer- cles of the Vomimisstoners of Charities and Correc- ton.

YACHTING. Annual Regatta of the Columbia Yacht Club— Auspicious Elements and a Capital Con- test—The Rowe, Earl, Rebecca and Geraldine the Victors. There was an excellent display yesterday under the auspices of the Columbia Yacht Club, the ecca- sion being the third annual regatta of that organiza- on, Extensive preparations had been’ made for the affair, and the result was quite a satisfactory demonstration of the rapid progress of the club, It is not by any means @ startling disclosure to an- nounce that the day was hot, and that the wind, Taher tiintd since its famous contest with the sun a8 described in Acsop's fapies, held back, fatling tofan the lethargic-looking congregation that in the morn. ing assembled to witness the exhibition, The club house Of ta spirited little association 1s situated at the foot of Fifty-seventh street, North river, and to that charming retreat several ladies and yachtmen, the Tatter Ourried with bright hopes, wended their jaunty steps. The fleet lay at anchor in front, and before ten o'clock the scene was all bustle and activity, for although the wind was no- where the prospects were encouraging. As previously intimated the measurement of the hulls and canvas, being som@what experimental, was according to whe superficial feet ot the boats and superiictal feet of canvas, with allow- ‘ance of time rated In respect to the condition of the elements and the time in which the race should be completed. The course was from @ stakeboat off the club house, toand around @ stakeboat adjacent to Fort Lee dock, thence to and around boat off the Oil wocks. above the Elystan Fields, and back to the starting point, the above distance to be sailed over twice. The Cgmpetitors were entered in four classes, each class sailing (Qr g baudsome prize. The foliow ing were the entries:— FIRST CLASS Yacht. Rig, Length. — Owner. 2€. Cabin sioop....35.4 G, W.

Shortly after cieven o'clock the yachts got into line, @ distance Of 190 fegt being between the re- spective classes. The wind waa siight, biowing southwest, and the tide atslack water. Ata quarter to twelve o'clock the signal was given to prepare, and fiye minutes later the competitors darted off in capital order. The Louise led off first in her class, followed by the Gage, Jennie T. ( Rowe im company. The Karl ie ov off = almost multaheou-ly. Carrie organ, a switt and gFacetul little sloop yacht, from. which, by the way, a great deal was expecied, un- fortunately arrived too late for the start, having been becalmed on the way from her ancliorage ‘ound af Perth Amboy. She nevertheless followed the race, and in the stiff little beeze that subse- quently ensued was seen to show her weatierly qualities to advantage. There was very little variation im the race for # jew miles up the river, and most of the yachts rather hugged the eastern shore. The Louise held her posiion admirably and was the first to turn the stakehoat at Fort Lee but was snbse- juently overhauled by the Earl. The Rowe, age and Jennie T, came down together, there being but little space between them, while the Re- becea and Cregier had quite an interesting Little — stru; on their own account, as did also Geraldine and Betsey. The Lillie and Cregier met with accidents that debaried thelr further comptettion, the former ao ted away her jib when opposite the Wechawken doc! latter her jib, The mishap was much regretted, pecially on the part of the Cregier, as she was favor- ably regarded by all who witnessed her performance. The subjomed will show the close proximity of the ts to ea b Other when rounding the home stake- boat for the oy ome, viz:— . & s oo 30 16 30 18 00 at 16 aT ‘ee wind the competitors went off in good style and clu Serine ogepher avery preity spectacle was presented. But little changes took plaice, though the contest was no means devoid of excite- ment. The £arl retained the lead and if bet had increased it on the way, the Rebecca, Rowe and Gage Keeping a sharp lookout for each and not losing a point where it could possiviy be made. The sinaiter yuchts were equally active, and altozether the exhibition was of a highly Interesting char- acter, Beyond question a reat deal of skilland good seamauship were displayed—just as much, perhaps, if not more, than are oftentimes shown in regatias where large scloouer yachts are the contestants. The run home was execedingly retty, and the beating dow the river under ad- rse cliccumstances was withessed with mach inte- from the shore, After quite an exciting race thy, Judges—Messrs. Cragier and Dyke—declared tie Rowe, Earl, Rebecca and Geraldine to be the win- ners in their respective classes. The yachts arrived at the fagboat as under:— H. M, HM. S. Earl 4 36 00 E.R.

Everythin, considered the regatta was entirely satisfactory, and had not the har od and Lillie met with minaps the enter woulg ,havé been rendered additionally at- tractive. Regatta at Flushing, The Flushing Yacht Club gave their first annual club race yesterday. There were five conte’ ants, all under thirty-fve fect in iength, * j»~ Sally, Three Brothers, Woodside, Hicksite and Cruiser, and the prizes were:—For the first $100, the second $50 and the third $25. The allowance was two minutes to the foot, and the course was from a stakeboat off Sands’ boathouse, Flushing bay, to and around S.epping Stone buoy and eps The competitors got off shortly after twelve o’dlock. ‘The wind was comparatively light until the yachts passed Grin- nell’s Point, when a stiff breeze sent the contestants scudding along in capital style. The Woodside won on first prize, Sally the second and Cruise the third, Tho Late Reform Regatta Gathering at Dele monico’s—Proposed Chauge of Sailing Course. To THE EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— Pray afford space in your invaluable yachting column for saying that I agree entirely with tne seven considerate and delicate young gentlemen (who out of three hundred composed the meeting at Delmontco’s) as to some change in the sailing course for fyture regattas. My friend and self felt véry di reeably at the last regatta before the club steamer had passed outside of Coney Isiand—the long, nasty swell of the ocean always meets us about that isiand—and created an tudifter- ence, nay disgust for the anticipated collation, which seems to HEA ct Rha for it by those not unappetized by swell. A yachting friend suggests the following as a real ladies? course for the yachts:—To start from a flag- bout off the club house, Clifton, Staten Isiand, sail up instead of down, pass between Gowanus and Long Island, then quite across the bay to the north of Ellis’ Island, thea south, by Communtpaw, and along the New Jersey shore, out A Kills, thence around “Fort Lafayette,” or the ““Bastile,” and then tothe flagboat, Sea sickness necd me a "ad hendea. Launch of a Yacht, Asplendid new sloop yacht, named after Judge Edward 8. Shandley, has been recently launched by its owner, Captain John Nelson, at the foot of Broome street, East river. The sloop is built upon beautiful lines, and she has already proved very fast. In construction, rig and canvassing she 1s a marvel of neatness and nauulcal skill, and irom the trial already made it ts be- lieved that she will prove one of the faste-t sloops in these waters, She 1s 34 feet over all, has a breadth of beam of 13 feet 8 inches and a depth of hold of 3 feet 4 inches. Her mainmast is 42 feet long, her boom 35 feet long, her gaff 17 rect apd the hoist of her mainsail 29 feet, She is now in ccmnipete tienes; and her owner shortly expects to pat her upon her speed, INTERWAL REVENUE SEIZURES.

Haggerty, principal, took place yesterday afternoon imthe ward selool build- ing in Houston street, between Essex and Norfolk. ‘The large and commodious lecture room of the build- ing was filled to repletion, there being not Jess than 700 scholars fréeent, all of whofh were in tralte, atia présented a very handsome appearance. There Were also present a great many visitors, and they all seemed to be delighted with both the appearance of the school and the manner in which each and every scholar performed his or her part in the exer- cises. There is, however, one fauit to be found with this reception, and the same will apply to all similar entertainments held during the summer months—the programme was entirely too long. During such sweltering weather as was experienced yesterday children should not be con- Mned in a large room crowded to suffocation for such ® length of time as is necessarily taken up tn carry- ing out such a formidable o:der of exercises as ts generally gotten up ior stich occasions, With thts one exception everything at this reception was as it should be, and Miss Haggerty has just cause to feel woud’ of her pupiis and their attainments. Mr. it, teacher of music in the public schools of the Seventeenth ward, wes present, and presided at the piano. He also sang several solus in a most creditable manner, the children joiufng in the chorus. Mr. Join Byrnes, chairman of the Board of Trustees, presided, and there were pre- sent Trustees Laue and Fisher; also Inspectors Muls and Woods, Addresses were delivered by Mr. Richard L. Larremore, Judge elect of the Court of Common Pleas, and Dr, O'Sullivan, one of the school trusiees of the Eleventh ward, Yesterday was the last day of Mr, Larremore’s career as president of the Board of Education, he baving sent in his resignation, to take etlect to-day. Mr. Larre- more has been prominently identified with tne edu ational interest of this city for upwards of ten ears, having first been elected a trustree In the dieventh ward in 1850. He subsequently, however, moyed to the Nineteenth ward, and was appointed by Mayor Gunther #ehool inspector, which position he held for one year, at the expiration of which time he was elected Schoo! Commissioner of the Seventh school district. He was also the last president of the old board andthe first one of the new. In severing his personal connec- tion with the educational department of this city he takes with him the gratitude of many of New York's best and oldest citizens for tne good work that he has so well performed, and thei vost wishes eee success and prosperity in his new fleid of labor. Exhibition at Public Schoo! No, 10, Brooklyn. A very interesting exhibition took place on Wednesday at this school, in Seventh avenue, Brook- lyn, preliminary to the summer vacation, The ex- ercises were most admirably conducted by the principal, Mr. P. Rouget.

There can be no doubt that the people Who have to pay one dollar per hundred for ice Where formerly they paid but sixty cents have rea- son to grumbie aud protest against the threatened advance in the price of the article, But there are always two sides to a story, and even the tce monopolists have something to say in their own de ence, ‘The public view of the matter has already been written, and full justice has been done to the sub- ject of the threatened advance in the price of ice That the public should not be be carried away by the one sided articles in the Bohemian press to do injustice and follow @ senseless hue and cry, but should rather seek tor some means to remedy the evil Which the searcity of lee in the heated term presents, a HERALD reporter yesterday appiled him- self to the task of obtatning stalements from the oMlcers of the ice companies and the discovery of the snovemen(s on foot for supplying machine made 48 a substitute for the natural ice. With this end in view he first pad a visit to the office of THE KNICSERBOCKER ICE COMPANY, in Canal street, aud 1itroduced himself to the vice president. The conversation that ensued was satls- factory as showing that the company have at least a few good excuses to offer for their action towards thelr customers and the public. The substence of it 1s contained in the following statement:—We are doing uothing but what we have a perfect right to do and just what other persons in business do ever day unchallenged. The price of ice, as of every- thing ‘else in the market, is regulated by the supply and the demand. In this case the supply ia not equal to the demand, and conseqnently the price of the article we have to dispose of is en- hanced proportionately. Last winter, as everybody knows, Was an extraordinary one, Such a mild season hag uot been known for years. The Hudson was open from the Battery to Albany and the wea- ther never rematned cold enough during the season for the gathering of good deep ice in quantities sut- ficient fo meet the summer demand. We have on the Ifucson seventeen houses for storing ice, wiih a capac ty of 600,000 tons, In 1569 this lirge quan- uly was gathered and stored; bat tuts year, owing to the causes sted, but 147,009 TONS WERE SECURED and stored—a deficit of 365,000 tons, This, then, with $4,000 tons of te# saved {rom the previous year, was oar whole stock, Onr sales tast week were 7,290 tons a8 againat 11,6°0 tons the same week In 1869. This diderence {s accounted for by the faci that we shipped large quantities to Philadeipiua last year, bat owing to the scaretty of ice we could not ‘send any Souwh this summer, Ia order to keep up the supply we now have to send to New Bruaswick, the Adirondacks, Buffato, and oshor laces and bring ice here at great cost and of course, great waste, It must be remembered, too, that the lee gathered op the North river this. Spring was of very Inferior quality, being quite thin and porous, and, of course, me ting much quicker than the deep ice brought from Canada. The papers ask, Why don’t we send to Maine and get ice in abundance? We do send there; but there is no cer- tainty about getting it. The schooners employed in the trade carry from 150 to 400 Long each cargo, and ib frequently happens thit thirty per cent of in is wasted away before the vessels reach this port, Fogs. and storma ave obstacles to speedy transmis- ston from Maine, and besides there fs LITTLE ICH IN MAINE, The most of the ice tn that § this country, 18 storcd in Kenneb soon run Ot Probably 246.52) tone is & fale estt- inate of the amount of tce in that region.

I strike an average of the prices obtatned for each week. You Will here observe that, allowing wastage ant other losses ii carting the ice, the average net prices obtained were for five weeks $10 80, $11 38, $14 82, $10 45 and $11 75 respectively, or an average of $1173 per ton.
