Second Day of the Summer Meeting at Monmouth Park. 4 Pine Breeze, a Fine Dry Track and a Fine Show of Horses and Equipages. KENTUCKY SCORES THREE VICTORIES Malita the Winner of the Hopeful Stakes, Wanderer of the Mile-Heat Race and Longfellow the Monmouth Cup. DESCRIPTION OF THE LONGFELLOW, From the Licking River to the Big Sandy, all over the State of Old Kentucky, there will rise a sounding shout of exultation when the news by teicgraph ts received that every race run yesterday at Monmouth Park was won by horses bred or foaled on the Dark and Bloody Ground. Joyous music will be heard on Green River ard on the Big Barren, and the Cumberland Mountains will skip with the glad tidings, for Kentuckians are terribly proud of their Siate, and when a horse from that section wins at is always in order 1or the Blue Grass men to crow over the result. Yesterday was a crowning glory at Monmouth Park. Sefore the races began every avenue of ap- proach was filied witn teams, country wagons, carryalla, dogcarts and posy chatses from the Branch, and swell turnonts from New York, “all bound for to go and see the races,” as the Limerick poet has it, ‘The Fourth or July bad sent down from New York euch an immense swarm of transient visitors that tt ‘Was found impossible to accommodate them pro- perly on the trains going and coming, a8 no prepa- Tauvns io? heen made in anticipation of the great crowd who came avwn like Assyrians upon the fold. Mr. John Chambertin, tte proprietor of the Mon- Mouth Race Track, and to whom all due credit should be given for the large sums of money which he has expended on the gronnds and buildings, had worked nimseif almost into @ state of articuio mortis to make every one feel comfortable, and on yesterday ali his arrangements were perfected, the railroad trains were clean, and not too crowded; they even Tan on time, and the steamboats did not delay the trains lor the purpose of fliling their supper tables. To be brief, everything connected with the race- course and its surroundmgs and connections went smootily. Four detectives of Chief James Irving’s force— mamely, oMcers Kelso, Dusenverry, Eustace and Duanu—were on band to preserve order and to watch for thieves, pickpockets and improper persons of the gentler sex at the gatea. When they showed ‘their faces they were told to walk back on the ratl road and go home to New York as soon as was con- venient tor them to do so. Barly in the day four distinguished looking but hard featured gentlemen whose names are known Ww the police calendar and the Rogues’ Gallery as “Sheeney Mike," “Whitey Bob,” “Big Yank” and “Dougherty,” made their appearance at the east gate of the race grounds and made a frantic at- tempt to get in by purchasing tickets. ‘To these gentlemen the four detectives spoke as follows :-- EvstacE—Get oui of here, ere ¢ place. Warrry Bos—Well, say, can’t I goin for to buy me ticket? J aigt no slouch; f works for me living— 1 does, DunN-- Yes, @ flue Kind of work you do for your living. Come, git when yer told, DUSENFERRY—Yes, yes, fo on and shu up. Don't » And you too, ‘‘Sheeney Mike,” uu ashamed of yourself to be seen among a What do you want Ye know ye have no business in chis ain't y lot of decent people, such ua notorious titel as you Whitey Bob’ and “Sheeney Mike™ walked Ina eullen fashion, cursing their stars that there was no chance to get at a ‘super’ (watch) or ‘pall a cen- tury” out of a gentieman’s pocketbook. As they both skulked down the sandy railroad track, among the furze pushes, the blonde halr and crop ears of “Whitey Bob” assumed disgusting and repulsive proportions. These two distinguished thieves had not been gone more than a few minutes when Detective Kelso ‘was heard to say: “By George, here’s more of them. Why, here's “Big Yank’ and ‘Dougnerty,’ and there’ comes tnat gai ‘Frankie Hoey’ rigit up behind them.” “S‘help me Got, shentiemen, don't go up there Where I wash, because if you dho you will be nipped,” “Sneeney Mike” was heard to say to his sellow companions whom he met on the road com- ing i for a sweepstakes ali handicapped for the struggle. The female thief, ‘Frankie Hoey,” being a fascinat- ing jady and very high-toned, made bold to auempt an entrance by soft and persuasive glances thrown at Eustace, whois said to be the handsomest of ail the detectives. “Big Yank’ tried it ou Dusenverry, who has the most disuaguished and aristocratic ap- pearauce at the Central Otlce, but it was no go in either instance. Hustace, finty as a rock, merely said im his asual Way to Miss Frankie Hoey: “Come, now, will ye on with yerself? Ivs a shame for # woman of yer age to thry and be heapin Yer wicked blandistuwents on me—a man of me age. Come, now, go on, or be the Holy Farmer Ml put the handcuffs on ye, and that’s where ye ought to be von go. iss Frankie Hoey moved off with a siow and gracetul vend, her long and siender fingers itching 10 be at Work in @ lady's reticule. “Big Yank” looked as if Re wonld have been Pleased to piace @ Mansard rouf upon the person of some one of the vigilant detectives, and Dougherty said, as ne Walked the plank:— “What a dumned shame it is that a decent, honest Mab Can't buy Wis Way ito a race course with tie money that le earns by Me sweat of his bow! say, “Yau,” the country t= going to aell iastenougk, aint ity” Now that these rascais are driven off the grounds are perieciy safe, aud we have a chance Lo look about us and see whoare here to grace the festival.

These were General Bufora'’s chestnut filly Malita, by Marion, dam Susan Barris; Mesars. Hunter & Traver’s imported bay colt Buckden, by Lord Clifden, dam Consequence; M. H. Sanfora’s chestnut fly, by King Lear, dam by Scythian; Colonel McDaniel’s chestnut colt Hubbard, by Planet, dam Minnie Mansfield; C. 0, & R. H. Park’s cnestnut filly Experience Oaks, by Bonnie Scotland, dam by Lexington, and H. P. MoGrath’s bay colt Richard Roe, by Tipperary, dam Greek Slave. McDaniel’s colt and General Bufora’s filly alternated as favorites in the betting for a long Ume, but tn the few last pools that were sold Malita | had the call. Buckden was the third choice at a low figure. and the others were sold as a field. The yourgsters were started at the second attempt, as they were all very quiet and tractable. They getaway on very fair terms for two-year-olds, Malita having the lead at the first jump, and never relinquishing it 116 THE RACE. First Heat.—The horses had @ very start, going away togetier rapidly at the tap of the drum. AS y Yan around we upper turn Sanford was in front about a length, then came Billy William- sen and Wanderer, Conductor fourth, Den- nison & Crawford’s Censor filly fifth, Over- land sixth, Albuera seventh and Oakland Belte eighth. The leaders ran very close together down ine backstretch, Sanford faliing back to third aes. the struggle then being between Bully Wil- amson and Wanderer. Going around the lower turn Wanderer showed in front, Billy Williamson second, Sanford third, Conductor fourth, the Censor filly fifth, Albuera sixth, Overland seventh and Oak- land Beile iar behind, The race now lay between Billy Williamson and Wanderer, and they bad a fine struggle up the homestretch, Wanderer winning the heat by a length. Sanford came in third, a few lengths further off. Conductor was fourth, the Censor filly fifth, Albuera sixth and Ovkland Belle and Overland distanced. Time, 1:48%. Second Heat—Conductor took the lead, Albuera second, Sanford third, Wanderer fourth, the Censor colt fifth and Billy Williamson sixth. In this way they went to the upper turn, but then Wanderer shot to the front and led three lengths to the quarter pole, silly Williamson having run into second place, Sanford third, Conductor fourth, Albuera fifth, and the Censor colt sixth. Going dowa the backstretch Wanderer opened a wide gap on Biuly Williamson, Conductor aad ford, who were side and side, the others being several lengths behind, as given above. At the half-mile pole, and around the lower turn Wan- derer opened the gap to six lengths, proving him- Self @ Superior racehorse. AS they came into the homestretch Billy took second place, avd Conductor the third, Sanford fourth, the Censor colt fifth and Albuera sixth, Wanderer came up the homestretch under a pull and won the heat vy 31x Jengths, Billy Williamson sécond, one length ahead of Conductor, who was two leagths in advance of Sanford. ‘Tne Censor colt and Alpucra were distanced. Time of the heat 1:48.44. THE THIRD RACE. to the end. She outran the others handsomely. Buckden was fourth at the start, and at the finish was second and nearly as close to Malita as he was when the ranning began. Mr. Sanford’s King Lear filly ran up well at the end, and when pulled w looked like she could have gone much farther an have done much better ona longer journey. The favorite, Hubbard, disappointed his backers greatly, as he only ran fourth, Experience Oaks Mito, and Richard Roe sixth. There was a great deal of money lost on the race, and the Western delegation were large winners, having backed buford's filly stoutly. The second race was mile heats; and a fine field came to the post, only one of the nine entries being uiled out at the last moment, ihe starters were i“. Swigert’s chestnut colt Wanderer, by Lexing- ton, dam Coral, three years old; W. Cottrill’s chest- nut colt Billy Wilamson, by Daniel Boone, dam Corinne, three years old; W. R. pabcock’s bay colt Couductor, oy Australi dam Nettie Viley, four ears old; Joseph Donabue’s chestnut horse Sanford, by Uncle Vic, dam Doily Carter, sx years old; Denmson & Crawiord’s bay filly by Censor, dam Pasta, four years old; D, McCoon’s bay mare Alouera, by Jet! Davis, dam Ninette, six ears old; John Boerum’s chestnut filly Ouklaud elle, by Lemington, dam unknown, three vears old, and Peter Burke's bay horse Overland, oy Lexing- ton, dam Miss Lightfoot, aged. Billy Williamson was a great favorite in this Trace, selimg in some tn- stances for as much as ali the others together, Wanderer was the third choice in the pools, but he won the race in two straight heats, Buly Wihamson being te oniy contestant throughout. The race was very exciting and gave great saiisiaction to the spec- Talore, By this race Kentucky scored her second victory. The great event of the day, the race for the Mon- mouth Cup, was the nextevent. To say that it was the most surprising race that ever took Ria on the American turf, wil! not be exaggerating in the leas as the oldest turfmen ge the Phe bed some of them nave owned dnd ran race horses for fifty year3—all acknowledged that they had never seen anything like it during tieir turf career. There were but four horses in the race, three only havin temerity enough to start iy cme the it KR tucky favorite, Longfellow. These were W, R, Bab- cock’s chestnut horse Helmbold, by Australian, dam Lavender; Mr. Crouse’s bay filly Regards, by Aus- tralia, dam Ann Hanley, and Ar. Sanford’s bay colt Preakness, by Lexington, dam. Leaf. Longfel- low was the favorite just before the start at 100 to 50, butin the pools previously he did not sell at such odds over the others, Preakness, the winner of the Diuner Party Stakes at Baltimore last autumn, and the Westchester Cup at Jerome Park 1 June last, being considered a formidable adversary against auy horse in the land, was the second choice, and lie was backed very strong by Northern and East vnrimen, as he had wou bfs previous races in such easy manner that ne was by many supposed tobe unbeatable. Helmbold, too, had his supporters, and his trainer baving pronounced him in the finest possible condition, he had Dosts of friends, who bought him under the belief that he would be sure to go the distance, while the two leading horses might, in their great struggle, beat each other Vefore the finish and leave im to win the race. We Presume this was also the calculation of the owner and backers of Regards. They were ali, however, egregiousiy mistaken, for Longfellow took the lead at the start, kept it easily through- out thé race, and wou in @ Canter. It Tust be admitted, however, that something besides a want of speed was the matter with Preak: ness. Every person who has seen jiim now kno’ well that he has a great turn of speed, but in this race, after runoing three-quarters of a mile, he ap- ared distressed, aud gould got extend hiihself In is usual manuer. Neither Mr. Sanford nor hia tratoer and rider could account for tis, as he ap- peared in —— condition while taking his morning exercise. He was forced ail the way and was beaten if the third horse fully twenty lengths, and he pulled up very much distressed. And the Kentuckiaus scored their third victory during thé ay. in one of our Issues about a week ago we gave a description of Longfellow, aud we republish the arucie, a8 a picvure of this great horse is worth pre- serving:— Longfellow ft a brown colt, four years old, nearly seven. teen hands high, witn one white heel benind and a blaze of white in bis ace. | te has large, strong fetlock and pester joints, filling the hoor finel cannon bones of each ot the ind legs running up broad to the hock, the hock spread out wide and as clear asa deer's, with full, large stifes.

When Longfellow and Preakness appeared on the track they were the ‘observed of all observers.” Crowas flocked around them to scan their points and eatisfy themselves that they had mvested their money rightly. Helmbold and Regards were barely noticed, the great sons of Leamington and Lexington being looked upon as the champions in the contest. ‘There was, notwithstanding, a great deal of money to ve won on Helmbold, as his backers had take “the short end” to win thousands. Both Longfellow and Preakness stripped to the satisfaction of the scrutinizers, but we noticed an unnaturai moisture on the latter's skin before he was saddled. The horses were galloped up and down the homestretch and then taken to ie starting place, which was at the half-mile pole, Very little time was spent before the flag tell. Longfellow jumped away with the lead, Preakness second, Regards turd and Helmbold fourth. As they passed around thé lower turn een feliow led one length, Preakness second, one lengt front of Regards, Who was a length in advales of Helmbold. Coming up the homestretch Longfel- low galloped pes from the others, and as ne passed the stand was four lengths ahead of Preakness, who ‘Was two Jéngths in front of feimbold ana Regards, who were side and side. Going into the upper turn, Longfellow in the most easy siyle possible 9 ned the gap to eight lengths, Preakness second, tires lengihs ahead of Heimbold, who was three lengths in advance of Regards. On the backstretch Longiellow was again opeved, and at the half-mile le was fifteen lengths away from Preakness, the jacter being three lengths in advance of Heimbold, who was three lengins in front of Regards, The great son of Leamington then stretched himself a tri- fle more, and when he passed the stand was 100 yards in Iront of Helmbold, who bad taken second lace, Preakness having unaccountabiy shortened 18 stride. The great son of Lexington appeared to be in trouble. There was no run in him, ior he fell back far in the rear and would pay no attention to the rsuasion of his rider. Going into the last mile ngtellow kept the gap of one hundred yards open until he reached the lower turn. near the three- quarter pole, when his rider, Bob Swim, took nim in hand, and he galloped at ease up the homestretch, pas*ing unaer the string fifteen lengths tn advance of Helmbold, who was two lengths auead of Regaris, the lawer being twenty lengths in front of Preak- ness. ‘fhe latter horse was very much distressed when he was pulled up, showing that there was something very wrong about him, which bad escaped the Vigilance of his tramer. BACCUHANALIAN BAUISERS. A Sunday Afternoon Seefle~A Shipcarpentcr Kicked to Death By An Ex-Policcman—A Promineat Polltician One o! the Assallants. The circumstances of a brutal! ait unprovoked assault, resulting tn death, were brought to the at teniton of Coroner Herrman on Tuesday afternoon, with a request from Captain Petty, of the Thirwenw precinct, that au ante-mortem statement of the victim should be taken. ‘The man so terribly beaten was John C. McFaddyn, late of 272 Monroe street. He is thirty-eight years of age, born in Scot- land, and by trade @ shipjomer. W hen the Coroner and his Deputy, John Beach, M. D., reached the bedside of Mcfaddyn they found him in great distress from internal injuries. He stated that on Sunday afternoon he went into the liquor place, No. 503 Grand street, ‘with some friends, and while there Michael C. Shay and William Quinn entered, the latter wishing to fight him, which McFaddvn refused to do, as he was a A or and peaceable man. Quinn then struck McFaddyn. and Shay joining in the assault, knocked lim down, brutally kicking him and jumping or his breast and abdomen with their whole weight, Finally he escaped from nis assailants, and, with the assistance : f friends, reached his home. and being prostrated on his bed, never left it again. On the above statement of McFaddyn, the jury rendered a verdict against Shay and Quinn, who tad been arrested, and they were committed to await further developments. Soon alter the Coronor and his deputy left Mr. McFaddyn, he suddenly became worse, and died at an early hour yesterday morning. John Roach, M. »., will make a post mortem ex- amination of the body, and an inquest will be beld in ihe case on Friday morning. When artaignea fore deceased he positively idenufied Shay and Quinn as the persons who had beaten him, Quinn is an ex-policeman, who vacated his post- tion for the public good, and, with nis confederate in the crime, clatms to be a politician of influence. When the prisoners were being taken from the cells to the house of thetr victim for identification their friends rallied in strong force, Miling and sur Tounding the house, and for a time it appeared as if they contemplated a rescue. Matters looked 80 threatening that by rejnost of Coroner Herrman Captain Petty sent axquad of oMecrs to preserve toe and see that both Quinn and Shay were heid seenre, The friends of deceased give him an excellent character for industry and sobriety, and say he was a ——— and inoffensive man, Mr. MeFaddyn was unmarried. His ‘riends have taken charge Of the remains for interment. A friend of Quinn and Shay applied yesterday to the Coroner for their lberatton on bail; but the application was peremptorily dened, and the prisouers will re- inain Ip the Tombs to await the result of the inves- gation. Coroner Hertman yesterday aiternoon intormally examined Herman lace where the fatal affray oc . ind several rpersons present atthe time, and heard their several stories. Deem!ng it tmportant in order to secure their attendance Coroner Herrman sent the witnesses to the House of Detention. The defend+ ant Quinn 1s President of the John Gatvin Assoct- ation. HUSFORTUVE, Rin AND SUICIDE. A Jersey City Tover Fouad Dead in Tren tom—Another Body Found in the Delaware and Rarites Canal. Yesterday morning the body of Richard W. Snear ‘was found in @ vacant lot next to the armory of the Emmet Guard, academy street, Trenton, Three vopers, finishing up the Fourth, went Into the va- cant lot to take a drink out of a bottle and found the body. Deceased was known in Jersey City, was a He lodged in the same room with John Gulanacher, in Woodruf street, and complained, about three o'clock in the morning, that he did not feel well, yet he arose and went out. Dr. Corson gave evidence at the inquest yesterday that he found mach conges- tion in the breast and face, the resuit, he supposed, Of excessive drinking, ‘the jury found that the death was the result of excessive drinking and ex- posure, Another body of a man was found in the Delaware and Raritan Canal, near Field's foundry. There were no marks of violence on the body. Two keys were found in one of the pockets. Deveased had ood clothing on, and had been evidently a fine- jooking man. Dr. Coleman exam!ned the body and said the head was very mnch swelled hy putrefac- tion, The dress tooked like that of a man who had prepared himseif for suicide. He was evidently about thirty years of age. The doctor was of opinion that the man drowned himeei!, and he believed that the body had not beep in the water more than three days. The jury remurned a verdict of “found drowned.” Another Fine Contest on the Unien Grounds and the Eckfords Again the Winners. The game between the Eckfords and Forest Citss, of Cleveland, at the Union grounds yesterday, did Not attract nearly so many spectators as it shoud have done, there not being more that 1,000 or 1,200 present, Those who stayed away, however, missed seeing one of the prettiest games of the season, it bemg evenly contested throughout; so evenly, indeed, that it was found necessary to play a tenth Mning, the score standing 8 to 8 at the end of the ninth, The visitors played a far better batting came han their opponents, notwithstanding Martin’s slow twisters; put they were better two to one in the field. Indeed, the Eckfords are getting to play as fine a fielding game as any of them, and unless these big clubs loo sharp some more of them will find & whole nest of ‘ducks’ egga’’ to “brood”? over the tirst time they come this way. Unfortunately two men—Martin, of the Eckfords ; and Sutton, of the Forest City—were quite severely injured durmg the game, the former hurting his right arm by falling at third base in the ninth | inning, and the lateer 1 near rst base while try: latter, however, aiter his juring his left leg by a tall to run to second. The il, Scored the ran, which Ued the score and necessitated tne playing of the Tenth inning. Sutton'’s injuries were of such & serious character, or at least were thought to be 80, that the Clevelanders dia not want to play another inning, preferring that the game should be con- sidered a draw; but to this the Eckioras would not agree, so Sutton hobbled ouf to his position, aithough scarcely able to put his foot to the ground, and the teuth ming jan. Chapman was first to bat for the Eckiords. jor the first tline during the game made his base on a clean hit, sending @ hice ‘fair foul” ball down past third base to leit feld. Holdsworth loliowed with @ scorching hot “daisy cutter” directiy to whico that “snuffed” outright, thereby losing a tine of ).1 for @ pretty double piay. Shelly pow cams on with a hot bouuder to Bass, who tlelded 1¢ sharply to third base, cutting oif Chapman, who was rupmoug from second.

I.,on the morning of the glorious Fourth, between @ HERALD reporter and the best informed ancient inhabitant of the Place. This was not cheering, but the reporter mentally chose the wagon and dry land alternative, im the green innocence of his trusting heart. Better, at any risk, to have gained the matniand where live men lived. It was not a great affair, certainly, but the experience thereof must stand as a warning beacon to all who believe in anything quicker than a snail’s pace in the race of lite. Glen Cove is a beautiful spot, so far as LOVELY SCENERY can make it, It 1s attractive to the toll-worn city man, who can make up his mind to settle there for ‘a day or two, or any time mn fact, if his desire is ab- solute, unruified quiet. The arm of the Sound which forms the pretty harbor 1s romantic in the extreme; and on Tuesday morning looked abnormally gay, with the sight of a number of pleasure yachts that lay there covered with VARI-COLORED BUNTING from the topmast to bulwarks. Young America was saluting Independence Day with firecrackers, and the amateur Neptunes of the Atlantic Yacht Ciub did the same from the mouths of their pretty brass cannon in a Union salvo. The morning was not, very brgnt, the sky belng banked with clouds, which, without being threatening, did not presage much wind. Hundreds of weatherwise heads turned their dull, sieaay eyes heavenward, Soundwara and landward, and then shook their cogitating macnines discouragingly. “Pity, too, and them pretty things jest waiting for a pul,” THE CHRONIC BOATMAN Yemarked, as he leaned upon a rail, His mournful glance took in the beautiful form of Mr. Osgood’s schooner, Fleetwing, anchored in front of the pier, Mr. Dillon's pretty sloop Kate, of the Broohiyn Yacht Club, the finely-lined moss-bank fishing sloop Thomas G. Hunt, the sloop Recreation and those of the Atlantic Yacht Squadron which had succeeded in getting in on tne night before, ‘These were the schooner Mystic and the sloopa Peerless, Vixen, Orion, Nimbus, Ida and Josephine. The race which every one was afraid would be marred was for third class sloops—tne small pota- toes of the club, At the Club regatta on the 1ith ult, inthe New York Bay, this race was deciared off on account of the stakeboat round which the yachts were to sail being removed from the stated place before they arrived. Hence all this fuss and hopes and fears on the glorious Fourth ta the quiet bosom of Gieu Cove. The oniy turd class sloops present were:— 2 me’, Oovners. Commodore William Peat, J.C. Greenleat, iydney V. Lowell. There are several others of this class in the squad- ron, put they did not get up the sound, owing to the light winds of the night before. At 11:30 A.

The three conte: v7 into line between two stakeboats, and yi in the bapbors With the exception of the Fiectwing and the Kate, kolsted their mainsatis and gat top- Silla to be ready jor @ start. An invitation had been given by ‘he Club to the guests at tne Pavilion Hotel to witness the race {rou on board the non- contending slooys, and a number of ladies and gentlemen avatied theavelves of the privilege, a sti larger number being frightened from entrusting their valuable existence to the care of the gallant yachtsmen. Some delay occurred in getting the Yachts off, and in the iutervai the Gien Cove regatta came off, This was A TUB RACE FOR MONEY PRIZES, There were four tubs entered, and the course was from the side of the pate thirty yards to windward, rounding a green stakeboat and home again to the pier. e tubs were of the washing butid and pre- sented very fine¥modeis. They were respectively; Xx 0 ' ra. Moll O'Flaherty, ‘hey were sailed by the sous of the respective ladies. There were NO TIME ALLOWANCES, which was a shame, because Judy Lockwood's tub ‘was at least 81x inches more from handie to handle than Moll O’Fiaherty’s, not to speak of her son Billy having bands three sizes larger than Tommy Lucas’. The Dauntless was the first to get away, on the port tack, which would have brought him clean to the west of the stakeboat but for an unfortunate shitt- ing of ballast which resulted in an upset and serious y damaged her chances, as it was at least five minutes belore her saliing Master could right her and get on board. This lawer feat was per- formed by means of ‘A BOAT HOOK APPLIED BELOW THE WAISTBAND.

The Cambria was very unfortunate, for although she did weil at first and ‘showea good weatherly qualities, the bailast—Master 0’ Flaherty— shifted, and all his after efforts were vain, the other tubs coming in wig and Wing, amid cheers, in the Tollowiug order:—Wanderer, NO, Dauntless. TAR YACHT RAC#. At ten minntes past twelve the gun to make ready was tired from Mr. Thayer's sloop Orton, on board of which were ae jor the club, Messrs. John B, Morgan and ©. T. Lippitt. At fifteen minutes past twelve the second gun was fired. With the excep- tions noted all the yachts In the Cove weighed an- chor, HOISTED THEIR J1B3 AND iB AWAY, the Orion leading some hundred yards, Although the prize was only between the third class sloops, 1t was really a trial between all the boats present. The course was twenty-four miles m all, starting from the anchorage to red can buoy No, 26, on the Cows, off Shippan Potnt, rounding it from the west, and thence to the home stakes. The tide was risiv: two hours from Mood, aud the wind was light an steady at east-northeast, noth being thus against them, making the first half of the race A DEAD BEAT TO WINDWARD, Of the yachts in the race the Nimbus was first, and stood off on the port tack, heading towaras the Pot at the entrance to the harbor, the Ida and Jo- sephine standing straight for the Sound on the star- board, the Ida leading. The Nimbus soon went into stays and followed her rivals at about a quarter of a miie’s distance, rapidiy overhauling and finally passing them, At about a quarter to one A THICK MIST CAME ON, which made it impossibie to make out their relative positions. At this time the Peerless was leading the feet, the Orion having lost ground by taking a course towards thes North Pole, as if desirous of emulating Captain Hail. Between the Vixen aud the dshing sloop Thoinus G. Hunt there was a close race all the way. The mist cleared of at one o'clock and showed the Nimbus leading, with at the Ida next and Josephine They were off Oak Point at two o’clocs, but haa not changed their position, ‘The Peerless rounded the buuy ab 2:37; next came the Thomas G.

Single Senli Race at Newbur’. Yesterday morning the single scull race in thé Newburg regatta, postponed from the Fourth of July on account of the roughness of the water, toox place in Newburg bay.

However, the water ‘was not too rough for the double-scull race of boys, who were started off on a two-mile pull, which ex- clted little interest. The single-scull race was for a distance of four miles; first prize, $100; second prize, $60. The fol jowing were the entries for this race:—Eliis Ward ana Gilbert Ward (two of the famous Ward brothers), of Cornwall; James Ten Eyck, of Peekskill, and John Mckelll, ‘of Cold Spring,’ The four were re garded as being pretty evenly matched, and culy ilerior to pe very first class of oarsmen in 11119: country. he waa for ositions §resuliéd in placing the men in the following order:—Gih Ward, McKelli, Ten Eyck, Ellis Ward, The judges were Tim Donogune, C.
