The Stokes.Fisk Combat Renewed—Astounding Revelations Promised. The news that the celebrated case of Edward 8, stokes against James Fisk, Jr., was w come up for trial before Judge Ingraham, in the Supreme Court Chambers, yesterday, made a large crowd assemble at an early hour, many of whom were present at the Ingersoll trial and had waited for the rich and racy disclosures which it was expected would come up, implicating many of the leaders of the Tammany Ring as siders and abettors in the al- Jeged swindling m the Erie Railway Company. In conjunction with these Tammany Ring leaders it ‘was binted that certain notorions railway finan- cier whose character has been a fruitful theme for Writers upon the preas for some time past would be involved in a very disagreeable manner. in the frauds on the stockholders, amounting altogether to the almost meredible sum Of $60,000,000, Abouta dozen of tne leading law- yers who have been prominent in Erie litigations forthe past two years were present, and seemed mach excited about tne issue to be presenced before Judge Ingraham, who came into Court without the slightest excitement upon his calm and quiet features. When he sat down there was a great buzz m the Court, and those in the back part of the room took a forward spring and }» endeavored to get nearer the lawyers, who, for the | millions involved in this wonderful case, talked in @ very low tone.

The Race for the Lorillard Cup Well Won by the Sappho. ‘The Bega‘ts Yesterday—A #'ine Day and Plenty of Wind— Accident to the Dreadnaught—sbe Carries Away Her Jibboom—The Enchan- tress Strikes a Sunken Wreck—How the Palmer Behaved—Fast Time of the Winning Yacht. Newrorr, R. L, Oct. 9, 1871, ‘The race for the Loriliara Cup came off to-day, Dus unfortunately only three yachts participated therein, There were four entries, but an accident to the Dreadnaugnt compelled her to withdraw before the start was made. it was feared Yesterday there would be little wind—not enough to make the race in mine hours— Dut we have been agreeably disappointed, for a fine breese sprung up during the night from the south- west, and at the time of starting it was blowing fresh enough to allow only lower sails to be set. Had this race occurred during the height of the season and when more yachts were present to take part in it, it would have been one of the most excit- ing of the year; now, however, it remains for yachts- men alone to feel mnterested, for they only are pre sent to witness a fair-sailing match between three of our best aea-golng yachts, THE CONTESTANTS, ‘The Enchantress made ner appearance for the Dirat time to-day asa contestant inarace. She bas done remarkably well as a cruiser, and since her return from European waters her owner has been fit- ting her for racing. From what we have heard of her sailing qualities we were led to expect much but from what we have seen of 1t we donot think she bas done a8 well as many persons expected. She may improve, however, when in better trim. The Palmer is s0 well known that it is useless to say more about her; but as she has been selected sone of the four to meet the Livonia, it will mot be amiss to speak of her ap- pearance im this regatta. The Sappho has & world-wide reputation. What she has done and What she can do is well known. If there 18 a big prige at the end of a race she is sure not to be the last in, and tt is very plain to be seen the Livonia must be wonderful in point of speed if she can out- gail this truly magnificent yacht. BEFORE THE RACE every preparation had been made on board the Tacers for the contest. All ncavy articles not needed were sent ashore, and when the time came to get under weigh all was in readiness, THE RACB ‘was from Brentford Reef lightship to the buoy of the north end of Block Island, from thence to the Sow and Pig’s Shoals, at the; en- trance of Vineyard Sound, and irom there to the start! point, the whole distance being about sixty-five miles. It was. determined the start should take place as carly a8 possible, in order to have the race over by daylight. Consequently by sunrise the four Rae were under way, the Dread- naught and er first, followed soon after by the Sappho and Enchantress, When off Fort Adams the preadnaughé carried away her jidboom and ail tne head gear connected therewith. Call was compeiled, after clearing away the wreck, to put back to her anchorage. This wns unfor- tunate, for it would have been a good oppor: tunity, to have layed all the powe that — vesacl done com of, ~ and it.wen thought she would have a ae bation tay by reason of everything inte was against her, Rowever, and the yachta were w out to manip, 80. mnch (s0. that before reaching the starting poiit the Palmer was com} to. put a reef in’ her main- Bail, Some of the puffs were quite heavy, and at times it looked as if the Enchantress and Sappho would have vo follow the example of the Palmer; but they held on, and when fairly outside the wind became steadier and whole gail was carried with salety. It did not take long for the three yachts te get invo position, and ata signal from :he Sappho THE ORDER TO GO was given, the time taken from the lightship. ‘The first to pass was the Sappho at sh. 15m. and 498., and then came the Palmer, followed closely by the Enchantress, al on the port tack standing over towards the western shore of Narragansett Bay. The ran to Black Island buoy was without excite- ment, but it soon became evident that the Sappho would have everything her own way. She reached firat turning point at ten bours fifty-seven A. M, after mal only two tacks, The Was passed, aa @ course was shaped for the Vineyard Sound hgntenip. This brought the wind a little on her stai quarter, when everything was se! that would draw, and the Sappho went through the waters at a tremendous rate, leaving the Palmer very fast and soon dropping the Enchantress out of sight, and she was seen no More during the race. In 2h. 17m. and 5s, from Block Isiand the ymeree sound Lightship was passed by the Sappho to the eastward. When she was hauled by tie wind on the port tack for the homestretch the Palmer was far bebind ana failed the manner directed. increased, with a very stort, heavy sea on; but the Sappho appeared to care nothing for it; she stood on under ail lower sails and passed Brentiord’s Reef Lightship at 3h., 2im, and 488., having gone over the course in the unparatleied time of 7h., 6m. and 548., thus winning the race and Lorillard Cup. AFTER THB VICTORY. Upon reaching the anchorage 1t was found that the Enchantress had given up the race and returned to pet The race was certainly a very fine one, and, in fact, the best of the season; and it is to be regretted so few of our fine yachts had the opportunity of faring pert therein, The Palmer passed Brentford ef Lightship 40m. and 4s. behind the Sappho. The time given In tns account Is New York mean time, which is 14m. and 12s. slower than Newport time. It 1s understood that the Enchaatress struck on @ sunken wreck off Beaver Tail and this was the cause of her return Without finishing the race. AUTUMN REGATTA OF THE BROOKLYN YACHT (CLUB. Splendid Sailing, Stiff! Breezes, Fine Chow- ders and Savory Clam Bakes—Alice, Addie, Kaiser Wilhelm I. aed Meteor the Winners, In order to close the yachting season of 1871, 80 far as they are concerned, the Brooklyn Yacht Ciub, who have been extremely successfal during the year, thought it better to give an autumn regatta, wherein there were only nominal prizes for the winners. The regatta was for all boats of the fleet, the prizes beimg oil paint- awngs for the first of each class on tme ailowance and pennants for boats of each class first home. The course was from the Club Basin, down to bouy 83¢ on the Southwest Spit; and back toa stakeboat off ex-Mayor Gunther’s residence, on Gravesend Bay, the distance being about twenty miles, Gowanus Bay was alive with numerous boats and all sorts of sailing craft yesterday, to witness the Tace, the latter being black with people.

Advocate, Sept. 5.) Rev. Hobert H. Ten Broeck returned from his trip to the Icelandic settlement on Washington and Detroit islands last week. He was accompanied on his trip by Mr. George T. Percy, of this city, and Captain John Garland, of Sturgen Bay, and though they experienced considerable bad weather the journey, on the whole, was a pleasant one.

Northern Wis- consin and Nebraska are the ovjective points aimed at; but as yet unis is the only cofony which has come over, It consists of some fifieen persons, mostly men, and they have purchased Detroit Island, ana bf ea on the shore of Washington Isiand, near by. ‘They are accompanied by an agent, Mr William Wichman, who speaks several languages, English included, and who manages all their affairs, Detroit Isiand is two miles long, and less than halia mile wide, and is well wooded. It has o beautiful harbor, and is finely situated with refer- ence to the fisning business, which occupation the present colony will mainly follow until they get a foothola and learn to do something at farming. They know nothing of the use of the axe, and handle it awkwardly. They are an educated and well appearimg people, short and rather thick in stature; courteous and polite, industrious, gory, in habit, and those who are here are quite weil pleased with the country, the climate and the prospects before them. ‘Their manners and cus- toms are of 1,000 years ago. They are to butid their fishing boats and make their seines this ‘winter, and they also intend, as soon as possible, to build a church. They belong to the Icelandic Na tional Church, which we understand to be an off- shoot of the Reformation, and in sume sort resem- bling the English Established Church. ‘There seems to be room for belief that this pro- jected movement of so large a body of Icelanders is devised by and encouraged by the home govern- ment of Denmark, of which Iceland isa dependency.
