6 ENCLISH-AMERICAN MUSCLE. The Great Aquatic Contest on Saratoga Lake. Six Four-Oared Crews Ready and Waiting- DESCRIPTION OF THE MEN. Hew the Champion Oarsmen of the World Look and Act. THEIR DIET, EXERCISE AND CONDITION, THE COURSE AND COLOR: SARATOGA’S FUTURE REGATTAS SaRaToaA, Sept. 8, 1871. “The eyes of ali England, America and Canada @re on this place and these races. The aquatic World never saw so much skill brought together, nd never did oarsmen row for such prizes.’ ‘Phis was Mr. Joho Morrissey speaking to me last evening at twilight on the shore of Saratoga Lake, when the sun had just shot its Anal golden twinkle onthe waters and sunk to rest benind Dove's Point, Geatiemen of leisure and mgh social und political status, with ladies of complexions fresh and vloom- mg as Jersey peaches and eyes mila and soitly in- telligent, Bat about us, gratified and delighted at the spectaole of halt a dozen racing crews in thelr practising costume, taking their tinal saggiag at the ar before the great mternational four-oared re- gaita o1 to-morrow. “No such toterests,” he continued, “were ever beiore involved in like contests, ana I think the Worid never Knew such excitement as you will see Jase here, avout these banks, when the race comes on.” must agree with Mr. Morrissey in nis anticipa- tions regarding the race to be decided In little over twenty-jour hours irom this trme, and plaee on record the fact at the onset that nowhere that Ihave ever pecn were regulations MADE SU STRINGENT or proiiminaries arranged so satisfactorily as now exist to insure the first aquatic festival of Saratoza being @ success In the fuilest acceptation of the term. Jn this rare retreat of delightful drives and ex- quisite Darmonies of nature and art I cannot say there are many men overstocked With liberality or shrewdness evough to see that the expenditure of ten dollars to-day ina puvile matter, bringing to- gether thousands of sojourners and pushing vefore the world more preminently the first of American ‘Watering phaces, will return tnem $100 next week. ‘Quite the reverse, a8 the majority take ali that they can get, and once in their pockets wey HANG LIKE GRIM DEATH tothe filthy lucre, Despite this, the money hung up ‘or tne successiul oarsmen in the regattas of to- motrow and jionday, is larger im amount than ever before putin a silken purse for such trials of wkill, aud this intelligence nas gone clarion-hke through tue world, and Saratoga is now on the eve Of Jeeiding oue of the most interesting international contests ihe nineteenth century ever saw. Kor two years or more Mr. Morrissey has contemplated such an inaugurai Sestivaion the lake, but until this sea- son the Way Was not quite clear apd the maiter re- mained in embryo. The maicn race at St. John, B.

All en- ties must be made by the Ist of September. No entrance mouey charged. A: Tut the right piace, and entries came in fast and strong, unil, when the nour oi closing tume had arrived, the foliowing noted crews bad manifested their desire tu conteud for the victory:— FOUR-OARED CREWS. Ward Brothers, of Cornwatt, N. Y. The Bigiin crew, Of New York city, ‘ihe Acsee crew, Of Pittsburg, Pa, The Tyne crew, of kngland, a ‘we Tayior-Winstip crew, Of Newcastle-on-Tyne, cugiand. ‘he Dutchess county crew, of Poughkeepsie.

It bas been 80 for more than a week past. Emerald biafs rear their lofty heads, upon either side, and back from the shore choice farming 4anus and orchards of many iruits suggest thrifi, plenty and contentment. Snag cottages are on either band, peeping (rom forests of green foliage, and, everything taken into cousideration, beauty of locauion, accessibilliy, and stiliness Of the water, this lake, above all others, seems to have been in- tended for the une grand s,ort—aquatic exhibitions. To this spot, then, really are the “eyes of the Sporting world’’ directed, and about these grassy bauks will there be to-morrow, I opine, a maltitude more mighty than ever before assembled anuer the shadow of the surrounding hills, ‘My business here the past two or taree days nas been to post myself in the matter of tho festival uf oars now on the card, and, so far as practicable, Chat with the several crews who have come here, some many, Maby miles, for fame and emolument, This I have done, meeting them at their work, on their walks, Or in she quiet of the day, when eturay anuscles and stalwart frames needed rest, Ove and ail, from the Tyne and Thames to the bays of the Monongabela, have been pleased to meet the repre- sentative of the HERALD, and were gratified that euch an interest was taken in their work. As I write the Buffalo crew and the Prior crew, trom Halifax, have not arrived, and as Mr. Morrissey, who Is the originator, director and planner of the regattas, has not been apprised of their movements, itis fair to assume they have reconsidered their determination to enter, and, although they have not exactly “backed down” from their former resolu- tion, will not be present, for reasons best known to themselves. But the array of professionals 1s some- thing astonishing. In the six crews present are the CHAMPION OARSMEN of England and America, men who have @rawn hundreds of thousands of spectators—the wealthy and courted, as Weil as those of less social repute- on of two continents—and triampnantly carried away from victorious fields their heartiest sym- pathies and generous applause.

Le! ; Hans Baa ns usps, By Gpariee, G, Letande A class of so-called poets—tne bards of Pike county, Missouri, and eras county, Callfornia— has recently sprung up. which ought to be severely rebuked by the intelligence and the respectability of the Country. One of these'ts:a man whose name, We believe, is Hay; but if all flesn ts grass tnis Hay is only stubble. He tsthe poet of irreverent chil. dren, irredeemable vulgarity and bold and flatant blasphemy. He teaches irrengion to boys and | girs | im tle aghguagé ‘of tie barroom and the backwoods, and talks fippantly not only of the angels, bat of the very throne of the Most High. Through his verses, which are so wicked, so vulgar and 86 hiirtful, there is a vein of sentimentality so Mawkish thatthe first impulse is to turn away from his book in disgust, and the sec- ond to pitch it Into the fre. How a respectable pub- lishing house im the saintly city of Boston could be induced to bring out a book go noxious as the “Pike County Ballads” we cannot comprehend; but Messrs, James BR. Osgood & Co. uave sent it to us for judg- ment, and perhaps for commendation. This ts,aijl we Know of it or its author outside of the book itself; but this isenough for any one to know. We are averse to printing profane and wickea verses’ in the Hematp; but, having condemned these. wretched: “poems,” we can scéreely avoid printing a stanza which is a condensation of the sin @nd ribaldry aid profanity of thé whole col- Teetion: The lines we have chosen for this! pur- pose are from a sketch called “Little Breeches,”” the Little Breeches aforesaid béing a dirty, tobacco- chewing. precociously sintal:ittla wretch, whose father had taken Dr. Greeley’s advice. and gono ‘West, This little rascal was lost ina snowstorm | and found tna Bheepfold.» 'The question, then, was, in the fine, and pbrenzied language of. our poet, “How did he git thar?” And the poetic answer was ‘Angelg;”’ as whe child could never have walked in that storm.. But his is the moral which our poet ‘draws trom his fearfally illogical deductions:— “han brincing by ois own, Is a derned sight better business ‘Than loaiing aroand the Throne. If anything could, be more inexcusably impious ‘than this we kuow not where to find it. Byron's “Don Juan” was bad eaough, but it had some re- deeming qualities—it was often brilliant and often witty and sententious, fShelly’s “Queen Mab’? was sufficiently atheistic, but it at least was poetry, But this 13 doggerel, and criminal doggerel @tubat. Ittsa “poem” fitted only for the columns of the Day's Dongs, and suited only to the “literary “entres” of the West. It 19 the expression of no artistie coneeptiou, and, if st is a picture of any- thing, It 1s fiustrative only of a blotch upon bu- manity. - Nothtmg can .be truer than that the poet should sieg only of truth and beauty. The mission of art ts 10 deal only with artistic per‘ections, The great sculptor chooses not for his chisel the two- headed girl, The great painter wastes not his time depicting soda barrels ana double crown boxes, ‘The great poet never falls 80 low as to become the auther of “Jim Bludso,” and “Little Breeches” or “The ieathen Chinee.”” We might laugh at this doggerei if 1¢ Was printed as dogyerel anu was not profane. Butit 1s wicked without betng witty, and aS Vuigar and dixgustimg as the conversation of a Sixth ward rough. These “poets” of tne stabie, the barroom and tue miners’ camp are completely given over to ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, and the crowd which ldughs at their coarseness, their valgarity and their impiety are their victims rather (han their admirers, This. man Bay seems in some way to have been a solder during the jute war. and atthe receut re- unien of the Army of the James he was designated ve read a poem.

This, of course, 18 not poetry —it is only ungram- matical nonsense—but in it is the element which made Swinburne so iamous and so infamous for in- fasing it into his verses, Bret Harte is full of a like flthiness, and'John Hay goes even furtner and is ‘brutal enough to print lines like these:— You may rezoloot till the cows coms home, Bi ion ‘Of you tetches tae boy, i¢ fol ut 9 .. MOREE Wa The third line in this stanza is almpiy horrible, buy the first is even Worse, because those to whom it would have any meaning know that it is the worst possible phrase which can be put into print. Other poets besides tnose we have mentioned are ambitious to travel over the same road. Aniong these is. Mr. R. H. Newell, betier known as Orpheus ©. Kerr, whose volume of ‘Versatilities” has just been published by Lee & Shepard, of Boston. Does Mr. Newell imagine that refined and cultivated peo- ple care to read odes to Agyasia, or of “Leonore,” of whom he sings:— I saw her once azain that night, led to sing When one was cali A balia of the olden time, Of wooing and a ring, And of bride unsuliied turn'd foto a guiity thing And all my love was bani * But pity took ite piace; ee For tu the stient agony Keilected in thy iace 1 saw, beneath the badge of abame, An Old, familiar grace, » Can we not have verses that nave some of the elements of poetry in them, and wit that at least 18 purer Is our poetry to be ike ——A bride unsullied turned Into a guilty thin, Are our publisners to be constantly sending out books which bear the badge of snamo?
