Postponement of the Oambria- Idler Match. The combined annual and union regatta of the grand old Brooklyn Yacht Club is always an event marked with interest and genuine enthusiasm, not only to the yachtmen of our sister city, but vo all yachting irlends in this section of the country.

The morning broke light and beautiful enough, but long before the time arrived to perfect the preliminary arrangements for such an important eccasion, a thick vell of haze overcast the sky aud the heat was uncomfortable. What little wind there was came from the southeast, but it was such a gentle byeath that the hopes of an eventful day died 4m the hearts of the officers of the club and the captains. of the feet, No wind! The thought to the Brooklyn boys wasrankling. They had always been favored by blue sky, bright sun- shine and favoring breezes, and now in the midst of one of the greatest yachting season on record, to be denied these necessary adjuncts to success§.was little more than even well-trained savors gould bear. But, after all, there was wind enough, and wind suiticient to test the racing qualities of the bouts and cause the spectators to be brimnfu) of excitement and joy before and after the regatia. A8s carly as nine o’clock many of the yachts had left their ancborages of the night previous and taken positions off Owl's Head, meaning to be wel placed at the time of starting. As the morning Wore on the judges’ steamboat William Fletcher and the club’s steamboat Josephine, gayly bedecked with bunting, arrived, and soon thereafter the boats D. R. Martin, A. 8, Winants and Aaron Wilbur were on hand, making the opening scene one of the most inspiriting navure, Beauty and music were conspicuous on the Josephine, active and earnestness on the others, and hopeful, expect- ‘aptsallors moving hurriedly about on every con- ceivable character of cratl, anxious for the signal to be ees The yachts entered for the race were betime in their appropriate lines, but there was a delay, and that compulsory, as the wind was very light; ut approaching noon there was a coange for the tter, and the wind coming fresh from the quarter it had been biowing in the morning, s00n all was ustle and activity, and the sounds of preparation ‘Were earnest throughout the feet. The entries for the regatta, open to all yachts of pee! quly organized club in the world,’ were as follows:— SCHOONERS. Ctud belonging to, New York Yact Ctub. Area 8q. tf. Brooslyn Yacnt Clab.

The in- tial scene was resplendent with beauty ana calcu- to ag om great enthusiasm. Of the schooners the Alice filled away first, Madeleine next and the Bappho last. Of the sloops the Addie V's crew were the more active and led the way, Qui Vive, Oceamc, Jeannette, Manhattan, Bella, Favorita, next in order, and the Mary last, having at the start carried away her topmast. It wasa long leg and a short leg THROUGH THE NARROWS, and the appearance of the feet here evoked praise. A more eager or beautiful group of yacuts was never secn, The Sappho, with all available canvas, led the Way, one-cighth of a mile, while the Madeleine was tn her wake and the Alice fully a mile astern of the latter, about half a point on her weather quarter. The sloop Joe Jefferson was the first of her class, followed by the Mystery, te, Bella and Syren, and tue Dalance on diferent tack: showing symptoms of great activity. By the Wes Bank Hospital the Madeleine looked the pertect plewure of & nautical ‘beauty, with her jin, fying jtb, jib topsail, fore and mainsails and gaff topsails set. Her canvas set like a board and drew every inch, while she was bandied to per- fection. At this point the Alice did not sail quite as Well as was expected, but eae meeps periormed 80 splehdidly as to obliterate the frst portion of her @ay’s work. ROUNDING THE SOUTHWEST SPIT.

While the sloop yacht Recreation, owned by the ev. Halsey Kuapp, with a company of geutiemen oh board, were viewing the returning yachts from afavorable poston off Quarantine, Staten Island, the Anchor fine steamship Dacian, inward bound, ran her down, making a complete wreck of the once handsome boat. The wreck was towed to the nearest point on the Brookiyn shore by the Thomas Cornell. No lives lost nor umgury, happily, sudered by ay of the crew. The Match Race Between the Idler ard the Cambria Postponed. Contrary to expectation the match race between the Idler and the Cambria did not come of. ‘The terms of wie race included @ stlpulation of at least an eight-knot breeze, but as that desirable feature did not present itself in the morning the contest was postponed. Beyond question the race between the two ‘vessels was awaited with tuterest, and not a little disappointment was experienced’ on account of its adjournment. After the regatta on the previous aay the Cambria was to have anchored at the Horseshoe all night, in order to be in readiness for the start, whica was set down for an early hour. Finding, however, thatall the other vessels had proceeded to the anchorage of the club house, Staten Isiand, she followed in thetr wake at @ tate hour. About hall-past ten o'clock yesterday the owner of the Cambria was cousulted as to whether the snot eo rd but there being very little at the time he dec! ined, i aah singe, spre oes apperently no prospect oO! e ulation ng anf tne. Idier was nevertheless towed out e Narrows by its tender, the steam yacht the intention being to be on the ground according to the announcement. Until after mid- jay there was nothing lke an eight-knot reeze in the Narrows, within which the con- test had all the morning been anchored, and it was pot until after two o’clock that the pros- pects were encouraging, And thus the race did not take place, but arrangement, will be made to have it decided at an early date, when the circum. stances will be more auspicious. contest between the Magic and Cam- bria tora fifty gdinea cup. will take place to-day, the course being from the Sandy Hook lightsiip “twenty miles to windward and back.

MEETING OF DOCK COMMISSIONERS. Petidious and Resolutions—Plans for Piers. ‘The usnal weekly meeting of the Dock Oommis- sioners was held yesterday afternoon, six of the members present. Superintendent Westervelt ré- ported in reference to the pter foot of Charles street, which He reported to be in a somewhat dilap- idated condition, and could be repaired for $1,000, A motion that the lessees be ordered to repair it. and the Commissioners do so if they failed, was carried. ‘The application of the Georgetown and Alexandria Railroad and Steamship Company tor certain wharf privileges was agreed upon. n A petition of Calvin Phillips for lease of pier foot of Twenty-third street, East river, was dented. Mr. Woop offered a preamble and resolutions to the ee ose that the information given to the Board by Mr. William Wilson, engineer,of London, in re- ference to the construction of docks and piers and the general principles affecting them, be rec d by a vote of thanks on the part of the Board, Carrie1. New Mr. HENRY proposed that the exterlor of the De- partment of Docks be dra} im mourning in memory of Admiral Farragut, nd. further, that the ae) ent be closed and the members aitend the funel In @ body. -e Several petitions were received asking for repairs, &c., to be performed in relation to various docks and plers on botw rivers. Mr. Henry moved that the lease of pier 106 East tiver be cancelled, at the request of the lessee, Adopted. A petition was received asking for bridges or tun- nels across West and South streets for the accom modation of passengers. A comwunication relating to giving a berth near the extremity of the island for the use of the police steamboat was referred to the Executive Committee, Petition from Harlem Steamship Company asking for the laying down of @ #tringplece on pier 24 Bast river for the protection of passengers was granted. The recommendations of a committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce, published yesterday, in reiation to the improvement of the water front, was read by Mr. Wood and ordered on file. Two gentlemen, Messrs. Smith and Wallis, were introduced and laid before the Board designs for constricting plere, over which the Commissioners gravely pondered and asked seriols and instructive queries, and finally ordered the designs on file, after which there was an adjournment. THE TROUBLES OF A New HAVEN ALDERMAN,— Notwithstanding the recent enthusiastic isis of his constituents, applauding and sustaining his course, Alderman John Egan, of New Haven, was, on Friday eveuing, censured by a unanimous vote of hig colleagues, for his interference with the fittng of a@ Gerinan salute on the eventing of the 4th. jis clam that the Germans applied.to him for permis- sion to celebrate was flatly denied by Miyor Lewis, who asserted that he had given them permission to celebrate tad to his departure from the city, while the last prop on which Egan leaned for sup- jort—the claim that he is senior Alderman, and there- fore acting Mayor in the absence of Mr. Lewis—was knocked ‘from under him by the discovery that an- other alderman had been assigned that rank by a resolution passed some time ago’ by both boards, ° t thus appears that Egan was without the slightest shade of authority for is actlon.— Worcester Spy, PRESIDENT GRANT. Visit to Farmington, Con- necticut. Nelhe Grant at fchool—Journey from Hartford to New York and Enthusiastic Reception at All the Stopping Places—Arrival in New York and Programme of Future Movements Presifent Grant, accompanied by Mrs. Grant and Mr. L. 8. Felt, arrived im the city at ten minutes past five yesterday afternoon, having left Hartford, Conn., in the one P. M. train. A special drawing room car—as has been the case during all bis Eastern trip—was placed on the train for the exclu- sive use OF himself and party, giving a comparative Pleasing privacy to the journey, and at the same time investing it with the utmost possible comforts ot railway travelling. On their arrival at the New Haven depot they at once engaged carriages and ‘Were speedily driven to the Fiith Avenue Hotel, where @ sumptuous sult of apartments, such as is always given the President at this hotel—his a:most invariable stopping place in this city—was assigned him. But very few lines are required to give a record of the President’s movements in Hartford. In fact, of thia busy, bustling city, memorable for its Charter Oak, its tusurance companies—the basi of its wealth—its Coit’s pistol manufactorics and the Widow Colt’s chapei and tts democratic majorities, he saw but very little, Some wanted him to give a public reception in the Court House; others to show him through the county fair and a series of trotting matches, which it was thought he could not resist, and still others to give him a circult of the new park and a glimpse of Wilson, the murderer; but he stead- fastly refused all this and other invitations and very qietly proceeded to accomplish the business taking him there, which, as 1s well known, was to place his daughter, Miss Nellie, In a ladies’ boarding schoo! at Famington. Accordingly immediately after breakfast at ex- Governor Jewell’s, at whose magnificent residence, charmingly situated tn the outskirts of the city, he and his party bad remained over night, the Presi- dent and Governor Jewell, Mrs, Grant, his daughter and Mr, Felt and daughter rode over to Famington in carriages. Excepting the roads being disagree- ably dusty, the result of the long protractea dronght, the Grive was @ most pleasant one. The distance ts ten miles, and through a highly eulttva- ted and delightiul section of country, the road On either side being skirted by fine farms and their large, comfortable larm houses, suggestive of gen- ulne country hospitality and the supremest extent of rural content and happiness. Of course scattered aloug are some ambitious villas, the proud products of thrift and taste, and the church and school house, those prominent and cheerful features of New England landscape. 1t was almost dificult to tell when the village was reached, so scattering are the houses of its main street. A more decidedly old- fashioned town is rarely to be seen. one long street, wich large shade trees Mning the sidewalks, and square built houses, with capacious yards and jawns and diminutive porches and windows, makes up the town. ‘The young ladies’ scuool—or Miss Porter's Seminary, as it is called—is its all-absorbing feature, its Alpha and Omega, its pride and its giory. This semi- nary has been here some quarter of a century, and has been steadily growing in reputation every year, until it is now considered by very many as the best conducted female school in New Engiand, For- merly @ hotel, which probably:did not prove a pay- ing. lustitution, 1t Was easily remodelled into a school, and now gives accommodations and yearly instruction to some elgnty pupils. To this school the daughter of the President was taken, and there itis proposed to have her remain until she gradu- ates, which requires turee years. There was no ceremony of admission. The President, who knew Miss Porter, introduced his wife and then Miss Nellic. Miss Felt, who has . already spent a year here, felt, of course, perfecily at home, and she and Miss Neillle, having been old _school- Tnates at the old mutual home at Galena, IL, will room together, But as there must come an end to everything, so at length came the end to the parting words, the parting kisses, the parting tears, the parting shaking oi handkerc! the Brey J last Mngering looks after the carr had staried on thelr way back to Hariford. a launch was taken at noon at Governor Jewel's, and at one P.

When the train came to a siand sull General Alfred Terry and Postmaster Sperry pushed their way through the throng and entered the President’s car. ‘To show his appreciation of the crowd’s continuous clieering the President came out on to the platform, where he was latroduced to the confronting multitude by Mr. Sperry. ‘This was the signal for more enthusiastic cheering. “A speech! a speech!” called out a hundred voices, “Only a few words,” pleaded the more modest of the crowa. “A speech! a speech!? now furiously yelled the majority, “Not to-day, gentlemen,” sald the President. ‘May I snake hands with you, General?” asked one, “I was with you at Appomattox, ” “Certainly,’”’ answered the President, extending his hand; “I am always glad to greet my old soldiers.” Having begun shaking hands he had _to keep tt up till the train was again uuder way. General Terry left the train at Bridgeport. At every stopping Place there were the continuous demonstrations of cheering. No important fact meantime was de- veloped which is worth telling, as bearing upon the prospective election of the President to the promised mayoralty of Galena, “And go you are an old Galena neighbor of the President?” remarked a gentleman to Mr. Felt on being introduced vo him. “Yes, sir; we lived aimost next door to one an- other,”’ answered Mr. Feit. “You knew lim intimately?” “Yes, sir.” “Kuow pretty well the people living there?’ < eee to; 1am one of the oldest resident; “Well, then, 1 want to ask you one question,” “I will answer it, if I can.’ “You are not obliged to answer it; but if in your power I trust you will.” “What is it?” “What are the chances of the President being elected ‘or of Galena ?? “That will come in the regular order of promo- tion,” auswered Mr, Felt, with a face as immobile jat of the President. Several felt as though some one ought to have taken measures to quench the thirst of several. The President a last evening in his room, where large numbers called upon him.

Second Day’s Doings—An Assemblage of Eighteen Thousand People—Good Order and Fine Sport—The End To-Day. Yesterday being the second day of the fair of the Queens County Agricultural Soctety tie attendance was larger than on the previous day, and the assemblage was variously estimated at from fifteen to twenty thousand. ‘Much displeasure was created by the intense dust in and about the grounds, the racing track in particular being heavily coated. There was some tolerable good trottt the horses keeping within the range of three minutes, but with good drivers this might be somewhat lessened.

Many additions had been made to the departments since Wednesday. ‘The crowd continually filled the large building and blockaded the several en- trances. Along the line of stock the crowd was also gregt, and one had to take his chances to see the varidus specimens of foreign and native breeds of cattle, swine aud poultry. The practical farmer confined huis speculations principally to the agricultural an implement departments, in which New York is ably represented, With great generosity the Long Island Railroad Company carried articles for exhibition free of charge, and yesterday they were fully recompensed, ag several extra trains were run, carrying thousands Of people, Some of tne exhibitors sought to unpose upon the company in a most contemptible way.

Should the threatening cloads which lowered over the city as the sun set last evening drift off on the Waves of the wind that rufied the waters of our beautiful bay at nightiall, and leave a clear blue sky this morning, for a bright warm sun to usher in the day, the obsequies of the great American Admiral, the renowned Farragut, will be conducted im this, the metropolitan city, witn fitting observ- ance and extraordinary splendor. A holiday for all, the hours preceding the evening chill will witness magnificent pageant in memory of the foremost Sea warrior of his day; honorabje to New York, which the dauntless Farragut did so much to preserve ag the metropous of the nation, and creditable to the great republic which, though too often tardy in re- cognizing the services of her children, is never finally ungratefui. Immense preparations are being carried on, both by Officials and private citizens, to make the occa- sion Memorable in the annals of the country’s his- tory. ‘The city government, represented by chosen officers, has worked with assiduous zeal to give marked expression, as far as outward manifesta- tion may go, to the popular respect for the bmmor- tal dead, while the citizens generally give abundant evidence of their desire to Mutingly honor the re- mains of him who in life shed a lustre on the proud name of the American Navy, The Cliy Hall, the pivotal point of New York oilictal man@uvring, was fast evening tastefuily dressed in festoons of solemn emblematic crape; the aspect of the place was mournful; ana there was that evidence on and about it of public concern which Is the proper indication and accom. paniment of oll expression of popular grief. Before the lanips on our beautiful Broadway began to twinkle and glimmer in the increasing darkness Many of the great houses on the route of the pro- cession began to display the hasty efforts of FUNERAL DECORATIONS, and offered to the pedestrian abundant promise that this morning, when the solemn dirge swells on the alr and the cortége passes on to Woodlawn they will be duly dressed in the “customary suits of solemn black.” And, beside the decorations of stores and houses, there will be other demonstrations of popular Tespect no less solemn and effective. The thousand belis that once rang out in gladsome notes the tocsin of victory of Farragut over the would-be murderers of the republic will toll in solemn and measured time to-day the requiem of the Admiral. The stores will be closed; business will be suspended; for a day the Official heart will cease to beat; the courts will be closed; the high wrangling of politicians will not be heard; the murmuring of warring cliques will not disturb the day. Figuratively speaking, New York, from the Battery to Harlem, will rest in sackcloth and ashes while the honored remains of Farragut pass through lo their Hal resting place at Wood- lawn. It is expected that, Inclading those who will form. in procession and take upon themselves the heat and burden of the day, there will be at least HALF A MILLION PEOPLE upon the line of route. Fiags will wave at melan- choly half-mnast; bands will play those solemn airs which music gave to grief; uncovered heads will bow before the catafalqne of the hero of the navy, while the heart of the p»ultitude will beat in unison. Iv is not too much to Say, from present appearances, that since the day American independence dawned upon us no such demonstration was ever seen in this city as Will celebrate the obsequies of Admiral Farragut, Intelligence was received in the city yesterday that the man-of-war poo which the remains of the honored dana were being conveyed vo ute city bad ‘met with disaster, and the citizens were much de- pressed in consequence.

Letters were recelved by General Webb from the following gen- tlemen accepting the invitation of the committee to attend the cere:uonies:—President Grant, Gov- ernor English, of Connecticut; the Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy and General Meade, Besides these host of distinguished gentlemen from all parts of the Unton will be present. Secretary Fish wrote that he could not possibly be here for the ceremonies, Senator Conkiing was in the same predicament; and the Consul General of England drew himself up on @ point of etiquette (an envelope having been impreperly directed), and as he cannot get down again without revolutionizing the British Lie Office—which, besides beiug dis- agreeable, would take time—he will be missed 1n the procession to-day. THE DECORATIONS. Comparatively few emblems of mourning had been displayed on che residences and stores along the route of the procession last night. On Canal street and Broad’ some few establishments had draped and festoon he fronts of thelr buildings with the insignia of grief; but inquiry revealed tue fact that a Jarge number of persons had Eaenared their draper- ies and would display them this morning. No pre- pee had been made last night at any of the jandings or piers in the vicinity of Canal strect and The City Hi: Court House and United States bulldi in Chambers street, have been tastefully drapes It 18 quite likely that the city authorities of Phila- delpma will all be present as well as those of Al- bany, Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, New Brans- Ai and other towns and cities near the metropo- North river.
