YVYAOHTING. Another Addition to the New York Yacht Club Fleet. ‘The Centro-Board Schooner Building at City Island—Her Model, Dimensions in Hull, Spara, Character of Construc- tion and Tonnage. Orry IsLanp, May 8, 1871. ‘Within tne past few years this charming island, eet hke asea-green riobon on Long Island Sound and less than an honr's sait from New York, has been a favorite spot for the building of yachts, trad- ‘mg veusels ana such other work incidental to ship- yards, No more appropriate place vould be selected. Realaence here is exhilarating, and the workman never tires with his lavor in ‘the presence of the ma- Jestic panorama of water and land—the one, with ‘Me steam racera, from the minnow, with its tiny, ®ore-throated whistle, to the triton and its hoarse menacing-hrick; from the pleasure craft, with its ‘voluptuous spread of canvas, to the lugger, with its airty, patched mainsail—and the other, with 1ts trees, cottages, gardens and lawns, extending at fimes to the lolling waves on the beach, complet- $bg a picture, in this season of bursting buds, MORE THAN ENCHANTING. Among the saccessful bullders of pleasure ves- sels, and tie first to recognize the value ot the loca- ' tion for that purpose, was Mr. David Carll, well known in yachting circles as the modeller and Dullder of the Vesta, and the master hand that sug- gested and directed the alterations of the schooners alypso, Henrietta and sloop Magic. He has now on the stocks in his yard the frame of a centre-board schooner yacht, which, if appearances are not strik- ingly deceptive, will prove as much a success in the matter ef speed as she will certainly possess slaunchness, comfort and remarkable stability—the essential requirements of her construction. ‘This yaoht is building for a prominent member of the Bew York Yacht Ciav, a @ENTLEMAN CHARACTBRISTICALLY MODEST ineverything that appertains to great-publicity of bis enterprising aquatic movements, yet withal one whose pleasures are in part centered in such pas- fame, and one whose aid and support has done much £0 givé it that prominence it now occupies as a lead- 4ng and healthrul amusement, conducing to the par- ficipants happmess, so far as the possession of a ©ommodious and able boat, and not a racing ma- ‘ohine only, 1s concerned. ‘The new boat is a centre-board, cockpit schooner, modelled in some respects similar to the yacht ‘Vesta, yet wider and deeper, with finer lines forward and aft than she possesses. The utmost care iy ‘peing taken io her construction to insure durability, and if in this particular the work is not overdone she will be one of the ablest pleasure craits in the Meet of the club. She will have a trunk cabin, her owner desiring this construction because of the COMFORT AND GREATER VENTILATION i affords compared with @ fiush deck, and these, with strength, ure the governing principles in his ind in her ercetion; not thelr sacrifice for the at- sainment of speed alone. ‘he dimenstous of the ngih on water fie, lee ches, Length on deck, 115 ‘eek Length over all, 117 feet, Extreme preea fhe.

Important Presentment of the Es- sex County Grand Jury. The Morris and Essex Railroad Hauled Over the Coale—The Commuters’ War Resumed in‘ the Courts—The Gross Outrages on Citizens Sternly Rebuked. The Essex county Grand Jury came into court’ yesterday and found @ large number of indictments against various persons charged with crime. ‘The most important is inthe cage of the alleged Cutter abortion case. The Grand Jury, after presenting a réswn/ of the gross outrages perpetrated on citizens by the Morris and Essex Railroad, were dis- charged for the term by Judge Depue.

Peloubet, of Bleomfield, on the 2d day of May, year ago, From the statement in the presentment it seems that Mr, Peloubet had purchased a vearly commutation tioket for eighty dollars, and , with -this ticket he had been in the habit of — stopping over in Newark whenever his pleasure or business required. On the day named, however, he was told by the egnductor that Apasrauch as the ticket had been punched before be would have to pay fare or get off, Ho declined to do either, and the train was stopped. Efforts were made to eject him, but the other passengers interfered and pre- vented his expulsion, Then the conductor detached the engine: and ran abead, leaving bis train behind with all the passengers aboard. The conductor on reaching back’on the side track, and let itemaia there wath ‘THE REFRACTORY COMMUTER and his backers conform to the rules of the company.” t was so done, and the “train remained there two hours. ‘Then along came another train. loubet and his fellow assengers leit the first.and tried to get aboard the second rain.
