CONTINUANCE OF THE STRIKE The Iron and Metal Workers Propose to Guide the Movement to a Successful Issue. ee ee MEETING OF MEN OF MUSCLE. ar ea Symptoms of Riot in New York, Wil- Hiamsburg and Hoboken. + THE COACHMAKERS CAPITULATE. | ‘Meetings of the Metal Workers, Master Masons, ‘Wheelwrights and Blacksmiths, Coach Paint- ers, Steam Fitters, Brass Founders and Finishers, Granite Cutters, Car Drivers and Shirt Cutters. ene be arsecubs Progress of the Strikes in Hoboken and Williamsburg. Yesterday was full of import to the unions en. gaged in the strike for the eight-hour system. The Inetal workers took such action as will tend and give force to the movement, and circumstances were reported in other unions that gave a new lease of hope and in- creased enthusiasm to the men. The pianoforte manufacturers, however, who held a meeting in Union square, stated that two-thirds of the men had returned to work under the ten-hour system, and that only four establishments were wholly idle, The Messrs. Brewster & Co., of Broome street, also announce in a note to the HERALD that their. entire force is again at work ten hours per day and without any increase of wages. ‘The cabinet makers of Phiadelphia, in a telegram reecived at Teutonia Hall in this city yesterday, eomplain of lying despatches sent to their city by employers here, and promise that they will hold out to the bitter end. Over one hundred men, employés of the Union White Lead Works, Brooklyn, and the workmen in Hall, Bradley & C morning, and the entire police force of the city, it ts stated, has been on duty day and night for the jast ten days. Though the sugar refiners of the city are and have been for some days on strike the workmen employed at Durant’s refinery, in East Twenty-fifth street, have for some reason refused to join the movementy A large delegation from the Union was sent yesterday to persuade them to leave the gugar house and join them, but were unsuccessful. News of the gathering having been conveyed to Captain Cameron, of the ‘Twenty-sec- end street police station, he, with fifty patrolmen, hastened to the scene. He ordered them to dis- perse, and they not heeding him, he ordered an attack. The police in their onslaught struck the men with their clubs, regardless of every- thing but the order they had _ received, and the poor wretches scattered, groaning | and bleeding. Some three hundred of them, at a later hour, assembled at the Walhalla Hall, in Or- chard street, and made piteous complaints of the severity of the police towards them, claiming that in their humble position and quiet action they should receive kinder treatment. The story of these men was first published some weeks since in the HERALD. They work for thirteen to fourteen hours a day in rooms heated to eighty or ninety degreés Fahrenheit, and receive only ¢i 60 per day. All they ask is $2 50 for ten hours’ work. The Iron and Metal Workers—Delega- tions Sent Out East, West and South to Agitate the Eight-Hour Question. All yesterday the iron and metal workers were in session at Germania Assembly Rooms, Bowery, and & large-amount of business was despatched. A delegation of twelve was sent to make a tour of the Eastern cities to agitate the eight-hour ques- tion. These men organized a meeting last night at Bridgeport and hold another to-night in New Haven, * A delegation of six went away to organize unions tm the towns of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, They held a meeting last night at Perth Amboy and hold one to-night at Chester, Pa.; thence they go to Philadelphia and to Wilmington, Del. A delegation of two from the iron and metal workers joined a large committee from the Erie Railway machinists, and with them will visit all the large manutacturing towns on the Erie road, through to Buffalo and Dunkirk. Reports were received from eight ad@fional shops as having capitulated. The men retufned to work in these, and there are now 2,500 members of this organization working under the eight-hour system, Committees from the Singer Protective Union re- port the sewing machine agents as having informed the company, that unless they are immediately farnished with supplies they will have to put other machines in the market to replace theirs, The men argue from this that the manufactory can- not much longer suspénd operations, but will be reopened early next week. The employés of the New York Needle Company, whose factory is in Forty-first street, have joined the strike, and yesterday sent a committee to in- jorm the metal workers of the fact. . It was announced Superintendent Kelso had or- dered that no police should take the tleld in future without there were absolute riotous demonstrations on the part of the workingmen. The receipts of the Treasurer of this or; from the 2,600 men now worki week, these men paying, as aire 4 announced in the HERALD, $2 each weekly. On Friday the first distribution to the men who require funds for the support of their families will take place. A steel shaft, about five feet and a half in length and weighing about fifty pounds, was presented to the organization, It was nsed in an attack upon one of the men recently, and when he attempted to escape it was hurled after him into the street, where {it was picked up and carried away “in me- moriam’” of @ narrow escape from death. nization are $5,000 per The Shirt Cutters. The shirt cutters are on strike for eight hours since Saturday. They met yesterday at their head- quarters, 91 Walker street. A number of men have gone to work on the eight hour system. The em- ployers are wavering, and it is known they cannot do without the cutters for any length of time. The general opinion among the men is that they will all “ecede to the eight hour system before next Monday. The Wheelwrights and Blacksmiths. The men representing this branch of trade held a meeting last evening. Mr. J. J. Barrett occupied the Presidential chair and Mr. Edward Butler acted as Secretary. The business of the meeting was principally confined to the hearing of reports from the committees appointed to visit the various shops, the owners of which have not acquiesced in the demands of the work- men, and the Germa organisation which as- sembles in the Ninth Avenue Hall, near Fifty-fourth street, Several prominent shops have given way, among them bet those of Messrs. White, Mui ready, Jeremiah, McCann and Bliss; but the othe seem to be go firm and resolute in the stand they have taken as to probably cause some trouble. The Coach Painters. ‘This body of artisans held an indignation meeting last night, with closed doors, What business was @one did not transpire, but there ia, apparently, an appearance of dissolution in the trade, the employ: | ers being very resolute in their resistance to the | demands of the men. The Steam Fitters—secret Meetings to be | Held in Futare. ex- | ‘s Lead Works, struck yesterday | | The Steam Fitters’ Union had a large meeting | | Jast evening, at eight o'clock, in Putnam Hall, Third avenue, at which Mr. Samuel Roberts presided. The special object of the assemblage was to remodel the constitution of ‘the society, making its proceedings hereafter vecret, excepting so far as it may choose to o » nicate them to the pre: Encouraging roporte were received of the success of the demand which the steam fitters made a week ago for the eight- hour stipulation. Most of the employers had already acquiesced, and more such were reported last night. The Gas Fixture, Braas Founding ana Finishing Artisans. The Gas Fixture, Brags Founders and Finish- ers’ Protective Union, an organization in ex- istence only about three weeks, held a meeting last evening at 214 Bowery, The rules and regulations of the society were the most im- portant subject considered, and the constitution and bylaws were adopted, The preparations for | the strike to take piace in the autwun are pro | NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, this city and in Philadelphta, with ae panen will ‘probably insure success, The Granite Cuttere—-Work on the Ma- sonic Temple To Be Stopped—The Trou- ble in Westerly Rhode Island. ‘The Granite Cutters Society held a large meet- ing last evening at Putnam's Hall, corner of Twelfth street and Third avenue. The President, Mr. James Gibbin, was ip-the chair, with Mr. Daniel Clancy as Secretary, A week ago, at a stated meeting, a eommittee was appointed, consisting of the President and Secretary of the society, to proceed te Westerly, Rhode Island—which is the site of many large quarries—to investigate the recent trouble which has arisen out of the strike for eight hours between the employers and the workmen. This particular diMcuity resulted from a violation of THE APPRENTICES’ LAW of the State by Mr. J. G. Batterson, the contractor, who furnishes the granite and is building the Masonic Temple in this city, at the corner of ‘Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue. To revenge himself upon the laborers for tyeir prosecution Mr. Batterson indicted fifty-four of them on the charge of conspiracy, and obtained an attachment on their property, that Ser had, being little cottages which they had erected by means of their industry through years of toil. Those who were too poor to own any such estates were not indicted. The difi- culty has already cost Mr. Batterson the sum of $50, and about a week ago he made overtures to the Society of Granite Cutters in New York, who were his opponents, to have it settled. They in- sisted upon the rights of their fellow workmen at Westerly, and felt themselves bound by the rules of their order te stop WORK UPON THE MASONIC TEMPLE in this city unless their demands were complied with, ir, Batterson asked them to send the committee to the quarries, promising, to consult with it after it returned, and he was given a week for the consideration of the whole subject. He wished to be paid by the workmen the $50,000 which he had expended on the conspir- acy case, after which he would consent to with- draw the attachment on their property. This pro- osal to pay his lawyers was, of course, rejected By the indignant sous of toil, Last evening the week whic had been given Mr. Isatterson was ex- pired, and the most important business before the meeting was the cousideration of future action in the premises. THE COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION | reported the above facts, which were then dis- cussed at length. Batterson was accused of calum- niating the granite cutters. He had tnformed the architect of the Central Park that the basin of the grand terrace fountain, which has recently arrived from Europe and is of the finest workmanship, was in danger of being destroyed by them while the strike continued. It was stated that at his last interview with the Presi- dent of the organization Mr. Batterson had prom- ised to retract this and other charges made by him through the press of Hartford, Westerly and elsewhere, but that as in he had not done so, and they did not _ne- lieve that e would. It was denied that they ever contemplated any such action, They did not fight against the work that comes into the city, but they fought against the injustice of the coer e by moral suasion as long as it pee Pia cable and of any use, and when that failed they might have to resort to other means. It was resolved that the men sore on the Masonic rene should stop work until Mr. Batter- son had tulfilled the promises he had made. All of the granite cutters have attained thetr de- mands in regard to eight hours, and are quietly at work. Itis thought that the diMiculty at Westerly will now be speed IY settled, as the contractor must be compelled to yield. The Broadway Car Drivers. ‘The drivers on the Broadway Horse Car Railroas following the example of other employés, strack for an increase of wages from $2 25 per day to $3 00 and areduction of hours, Their movement, how- ever, can hardly be called a strike as, the officers of the road immediately met their demand with the offer of $2 75 per day and the use of two extra buffa- loes. (The term buffalo ts pee to the individual who drives the car from the depot to the Park and back.) The drivers accepted the offer of the offi- cers of the road, as they considered the $2 75 per day fair wages, and the extra buffaloes gave them one hour per day less work. The drivers held a meeting since and unanimously tendered a vote of thanks to Mr. F. W. Foshay, President of the road; Mr. Teadbeater and the officers for their kind treatment of their application. The drivers are now all at work, and the business is going on har- moniously, The Master Masons’ Meeting. Yesterday afternoon the master masons of New York met at the Mechanics’ and Building Exchange, No. 27 Park place, for the purpose of putting a stop to the arbitrary rules and measures which their laborers are trying to force upon them. Mr. Con- over, the President of the Exchange, presided. At two o’clock he called the meeting to order, and said the master masons have been called here for the purpose of interchanging views on the eight-hour system and its effects upon the building interests of the metropolis. Mr. MoraAN, of the firmof Moran & Armstrong, stated that he was the one at whose instance the meeting had been called. His reasons for calling a meeting were that he wished to confer with the other builders in reference to the strike, and as to what would be the best means of putting an end to the arbitrary rules which the laborers wished to enforce upon them. He further stated that on Tuesday last his foreman had discharged a man and paid him, and that thereupon all the men on the job quit. Mr. ROBERT DARRAGH told a story similar to that of Mr. Moran, differing only that he lost seventy men by discharging one. Both Mr. Darragh and Mr. Moran took back the men who discharged themselves. “ Mr. BoGart stated that he had lost twenty men in the same way, and that they refused to go to work unti! the men were taken back; but he stood firm and would not take the man back, and when the men found he was determined they quietly re- turned to work. Mr. MACATEE next took the floor and told how his men had left his work, which clearly fllus- trates the conduct of these laborers, who have thus far received from him all they asked. It appears that two of his men came a quarter of an hour late. The foreman told them to go to work, but they would not go. Atten o'clock they asked to be let off from work; but the foreman would not let them. This was communicated to the other men, whoimmediately left. Mr. Epiirz, the Secretary of the society, made a motion that the master masons reorganize and hold monthly meetings. Adopted, and the Chair- man and Secretary appointed, by motion, to finda suitable place for meeting and ve the same duly advertised. THE STRIKE IN WILLIAMSBURG. An Army of New York Sugar Re- finers Visit Williamsburg—The Police Disperse Them Without Any Trouble. For several weeks the Williamsburg police have been held in reserve to repress any «disorders that might result from the strike, but their services were not required until yesterday morning, when, between five and six o'clock, a body of men, variously estimated at from four hundred to six hundred, crossed from New York via the Roosevelt street, Division avenue and Houston street ferries. The line extended along First street, from Broadway to North Second street, taking in ali the extensive sngar refineries on their march. Halting at each they beckoned to the men to leave work and join them, but they received no response, No act of violence was Byala heal however. When oppose the Long Isiand sugar refinery Captain Wogiom, of the Fifth precinct, with three sergeauts and a force of thirty-five men, came upon them and ordered them to disperse. This they hesitated to do for afew moments, but by a little Ppt persuasion they scattered and and returned to New York. No vio- lence was used. Nobody was hurt. THE IRON MOULDERS. This laborious class have 60 far failed to convince the leading bosses of the justice of their demands and the shops remain closed. THE CARRIAGE PAINTERS. A large nomber of carriage painters have re- sumed work on the old terms, THE HOUSE PAINTERS ave generally succeeded, two or three shops only esisting their demands. THE HOUSE CARPENTERS, having thrown off twenty-five cents of thelr old pay, ure nearly all at work ander the Eight Hour law, and ave getting along harmoniously with their employs. THE STRIKES IN HOBOKEN, Another Riot Prevented by the Police— The Pistol and the Sledge Hammer. Yesterday afternoon a sanguinary affray took place in the steam boiler establishment of the Pennayly: nia Central Railroad Company, near Second street, Hoboken, which, but for the vigorous interference of Officer Kivien, of the police force, might have terminated in homicide. It appeara that @ few days ago a laborer pamed Joseph Campbell Was sent as a propagandist from one of the New York councils to incite the workmen in the estab- lishment to strike for shorter hoars, Campbell nad hot been long among the men when the foreman, Kdward Russell, became acquainted with the sedi. tionary intentions of the man, and he accordingly hastened to eject him from the premises, ‘This was no easy task, inasmuch as he was compelled to beat “him away with iron weanons, The ! pleats A Laborers’ Strike—The District Legis propagandist made a furious resistance, ana when lie had been driven away he procured a war- rant from Justice White for the arrest of the fore- man on a charge of assault and battery. For some reason the warrant was not served, and Campbell means, Last evening he hing md to the shop again, armed with a heavy sledge hammer, and rushed to- wards Kussell. The latter, suspecting Campbell's design, drew a pistol and ‘presented It at the as- among the laborers, most of them dreading to interfere between the combatants, While the ex- citement was at its height Officer Kivien rushed in, ‘and, seizing Campbell, quelled the disturbance and conveyed the prisoner to the police station. The accused was brought before Kecorder Bohnstedt, who committed him to prison unttl bail can be pro- cured. Nothing is yet known of the effect produced by Campbell among the workmen. THE RAILROAD EMPLOYES AT ALBANY. ALBANY, N. Y., June 17, 1872, ‘The car shops at West Albany to-day were de- serted and silent, more than one thousand men employed tn them having quit work. Conduc- tors and brakemen have been obliged to act as switchmen and signal men of their own trains, A committee succeeded in inducing the mechanics employed in the Hudson River Railroad shops back of Greenbush to join them. The laborers, however, refused. The committee also failed to prevail on the workmen in the Boston and Albany Rail- road shops to join in the strike, these workmen having declared that they will not act unless a movement is Maugurated in Sprivgteld or Boston, and not then unless the movement is general along the entire line, It is said that the conductors on that road, between Albany and Worcester, will strike for an advance of wages from $60 per month to $75, and it ls expected their demands will be complied with, It appears that the strike on the Central Railroad extends only to Schenectady and Utica, the Syra- couse, Rochester and Buffalo men hesitating to join in the movement. A meeting was held in Capitol Park to-day, at which addresses were made by the leaders in the strike praising the men for their pea :eful conduet, the freight houses and the new Central and Hudson River depot reported that the workmen declined to turn out for the present. A committee was ap- pointed to visit the various machine shops in the oy invite the workmen to co-operate. solutions were adopted inviting all mechanics to join them, and urging brakemen to stand out until their demands were complied with, A com- mittee was appointed to wait on Governor Hoffman, and ask him to give lis views on the jus- tice of enforcing the eight-nour law. The committee waited on the Governor, who informed them that he had so often expressed his views on the subject that it was unnecessary to repeat them at this time. The chairman of the com- mittee said the Governor was with the workingmen heart and soul, A committee has visited the Al- bany and Susquehanna Railroad shops, but no ac- tion would be taken by the workmen there at pres- ent, It is said that the railroad companies are firm in refusing to yield to the demands of the work- men, and that many of the latter are very anxious to return to their work. THE EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT IN WASH- INGTON, ture and the Question. WASHINGTON, June 17, 1872, The large number of men at the concrete works | refused to resume labor to-day unless the time was reduced from ten to eight hours and the com- pensation increased from $150 to $2 per day. The superintendent of the com- pany refused to accede to their demands, stating that the present contracts were based on the wages heretofore paid. The strikers, 300 or More, sat on the curb stones all day waiting to hear from laborers at other points, thus indicating a general strike. House of Delegates have unanimously passed @ bill constituting eight hours a day’s work, and $20 cae pay, for laborers on work under control of the district government. BOAT RACING ABROAD. The Boat Crews of the United States War Vessels Shenandoah and Congress Contesting for the Supremacy at the Oar off Ville Franche—The Boys of the Shenandoah Victorious. Ory VILLE FRANCHE, France, May 28, 1872. enlisted in any contest with her boats, for the Teason that her racing crew has been broken up and dispersed on account of the expiration of the time of some of its members. Since new men have been recruited from time to time it has been the alm in great part to get together such of them as might be qualified to bear themselves well in an aquatic contest, should such an emergency arise. Much attention, however, had not been paid to the subject until the Congress arrived in Europe, when, after a due interval, challenges were sent through the fleet, among the rest one to this vessel. The Con- gress had suffered defeat at the hands of the Plymouth on two occasions. Asa challenge had been sent to the Shenandoah it was essential to ac- cept it, and, accepting, to prepare for it. Under the coaching of Lieutenant Very, who has pulled in sharp races himself, the crew of the Shenandoah jvas exercised until it was thought it would have 4 fair chance of victory even in a good struggle. Some hopes of success were based on the time made by the boat belonging to’the Congress in the race with the Plymouth at Toulon, and the crew was coached to surpass it as much as possible, In the meantime the Congress was not idie. Her boat was seen at evening creeping in and out of the harbor, and on still nights the noise of the oars could be heard distinctly, conveying to us the news that she was pulling a very fast stroke. The Shen- andoah’s cutter is of the regular man-of-war build— not a good one by any means for speed—in length 28 feet 8 inches, in beam 7 feet, with a draught for- ward of 144, inches and aft of 20 inches, with her crew In her, THE CREW. The crew relected for the occasion was composed of the following named men, seated in the order arranged :— Port Stardoara Side, Charles McDonald. Kdward Anderson. ‘Thomas Leddy. Charles Kelly. Side. Thomas Griffin (bow). James McQuade, Charles Gorman. John O'Neal. Alexander J. Stewart. George Lane. Frank Upton. Jobn cent Patrick Conway. James Reilly. The coxswain was Charles G. Forrest, chief boat- swain’s mate of this vessel; Mr. Very going in the boat to lend such counsel and assistance as might be necessary. Mr. Royal R. Ingersoll was selected as umpire, and to Him was confided the stakes, 1,400 francs in all, exclusive of side bets. The cutter of the Congress was the same which com- peted in the race with the Plymouth, but her di- mensions were, unhappily, not procured, although sent for several times. THE COURSE over which the race was to be pulled was three and @ haif miles in extent, one and three-quarter mile and return, reaching from the lighthouse at Point Mala along the western coast of the harbor to the bottom, the stakeboat being anchored abreast of the Brooklyn, The water was in desperately bad order for fast time, being choppy and tumbled, the wind blowing quite fresh, southwest by west, ‘half west. The Plymouth was anchored not very far from the arting point, and the crew being much interested in a race in which fig- ured a boat which th had themselves defeated, arranged themselves along the forecastie id along the side of their ship, resembling ex- actly, with their white caps, an army of turbaned, though not malignant, Turks. THE RACE. At twenty-three minutes past five the rival boats got away, the start being in every way admirabie, and the Congress’ boat took the lead at once by abont half aboat’s length ; when abreast the Shenan- doah she increased the distance between herself and antagonist to @ full boat's length, which she continued to hold steadily for a quarter of a mile. Both boats were pulling a stroke of ty to the min- ute, and It was very clear that bellows and muscle were the only points to be depended on to win the race. When about seven-eights of a mile of the course had been accomplished the Shenanddah's boat, relaxing nothing of power or speed in its stroke, nor increasing either, closed the gap be- inet it and the head boat, and, moreover, shot ahead. ber of strokes, but the pace had killed, as pace is very sure to do, The number of strokes in the boat was the same, but the epper completely gone, As & resnit the Shenandoah's boat's crew, sound as old wine, did the one and three quarter mile in seventeen minntes, rounding the atakeboat forty seconds ahead of their antagonists, Nor had the crew of this boat up to this time exerted {ts full power, 80, called upon by Mr. Very, to make assurance doubly sure, it spurted for about a half a mile through a rough, head-beat sea, losing an oar in the struggle— Geary’s—which he replaced admirably, without throwing any one out of stroke, but, placing such a distance between the Shenandoah's boat and that of the Congress aa to make to make the race all over but the shouting. This told on the time, for, as the winning cutter tossed at the stakeboat it was found that the distance back to the winning boat had been puiled in fifteen minutes exactly, al- though seventeen were consumed in going out. At five o'clock and fifty-five minutes the Shenandoah’s boat crossed the scene, winner of the race and toe in thirty-two mina’ The Congress cutter followed one minute spd ten seconds later, coming in rather fatigued, saulter’s head. Hereupon wiid excitement arose | ‘The committee who had been appointed to visit | For a long time back the Shenandoah has not | The Congress had not diminished the num- | was | JUNE 18, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. YACHTING. | JERSEY CITY YACHT CLUB REGATTA. determined to obtain revenge by more violent | An Exciting Contest between the Blossom and Sophia—The Ladies’ Race in the South Cove. was sailed yesterday, and although there were not quite as many competing yachts as expected the affair passed off very pleasantly. The yachts were divided into four classes. ‘The courses were :—For the cabin sloops amd first class open boats, from stakeboat anchored between Bedloe’s and Ellis Islands to Buoy No. 10, on the Southwest Spit, and return. Second class open boats from stakeboat anchor between Bedloe’s and Ellis Islands, round flagboat off Owl's Head, thence round the can buoy below Robins’ Reef light and return; the course to be sailed twice over, The third class open boats sailed six times round the South Cove. The race between the third class boats was sailed especially for the benefit of the ladies and guests of the club, who crowded the veranda of the Club House. The sloop yacht Willie, @ large, roomy craft, always open for charter, and hailing from Jersey City, carried the judges and the members of the press to the starting point, and came to an anchor about eleven A.M. The Judges were Ex-Mayor W. Clark, Charles H, Murray and Stephen Quaife, The weather was pleasant and the sun was rather uncomfortably liberal in its diffusion of heat. There was @ pleasant fanning breeze from the southwest that gave some hopes of increasing towards the afternoon. The tide was about the last of the e' The following yachts competed in the regatta:.

Shortly before twelve M. a flying start was made, the Mary getting away first, closely followed by the Undine and Knight Templar, who crossed the line together, with the Simpson bringing up the rear about a minnte later, The Blossom led the second ciass open boats, with the Confidence and Opie following close behind, After the yachts had started there was nothing to do but await their return, as the reporters were unable to witness thé race from the judges’ boat. Shortly before three P, M. the Blos- som hove in sight, and came running down before the wind with her jib boomed out and closely followed by the Sophia. The Confidence was some little distance behind. The Blossom rounded, keeping the stake boat on the port hand, about half & minute ahead of the Sophia, who left the stake boat on the starboard hand. The Confidence was eight or nine minutes later. They all hauled up close aud started on the second round, In the meanwhile the small boats were started, and made a pretty race inside the South Cove, much to the amusement of the ladies. They also had a flying start, the Sea Bird getting away first, with the Topf, a smart little jib and mainsail boat, close on her heels. The Nellie came next, closely fol- lowed by the H. Clerk, Zephyr and Commodore. They made a very pretty ra in the first round, while passing through Snelgrove Gap, the Zephyr fouled the Sea Bird, a little rencontre which caused them both to lose a minute or two. On the fourth round the Topf began to let out, and, followed by the Commodore, went by the Sea Bird and Andrew Clerk, and on the fifth round this victorious couple also walked by the Nellie, who then withdrew from the contest. sd The regatta outside was going on very pleasantly, but about four P. M. the wind died away, and there appeared to be some prospect of the yachts not making the race in time. Such @contretemps was, however, happily avoided, as shortly before five P, M. a fresh working breeze sprang up from the old quarter and assisted in bringing ‘the yachts home to the starting point.

The annual regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club will be sailed ‘to-day, and will doubtless attract much attention from all yachtsmen, being the first regatta of the season in which large yachts are numbered among the competitors. The yachts will start from an anchorage off Bay Ridge alt haf-past ten A. M. The Regatta Committee are Messrs. H. H. Hogins, Edward Arnold, J. L. Marcellus, John B, Morgan and W. B. Davenport. The course will be for schooners and first class sloops from the anchorage down through the Nar- rows to and around the stakeboat at Southwest Spit, thence to and around Lightship, rounding the sume from the southward; thence home, going to southward and westward of beacon on Romer Shoal. For second class sloops the same course, to and around stakeboat at Southwest Spit; thence to and around a stakeboat near a buoy in Gedney Channel, rounding the same from the southward; thence home, passing to the westward of beacon on Romer Shoal. For third class sloops, same course, to and around stakeboat at Southwest Spit; thence home. All yachts to pass between Fort Lafsayette and Richmond, to the east of buoys 11, 13 and 15 on West Bank, both going and returning; around stakeboat at Southwest Spit by the westward and southward, and at home stake between the two stakeboats, making the line. Messrs, William Mc- Monnies, Willlam H. Douglas and Thomas J. North- all are bi dischenan judges of the regatta, The allowance of time will be based upon length only,to be ascertained by adding actual length on water line to actual length over all, dividing the total by two, the result tobe the length on which allowance is to be calculated.

Match Between Ira A. Paine and Captain Bo- gardus for $2,200---100 Birds Each, | eceie +} | Large Attendance at Floetwood Park and Heavy Betting—Paine the Favorite Through- out the Match, Alarge assemblage of gentlemen congregated yesterday afternoon at Fleetwood Park to wit- neas the shooting match between Ira A. Paine, of this city, and Captain Bogardus, of Illinois, the stakes being $1,200 on the part of Paine against Bogardus’ $1,000, the odds being given to cover the latter's expenses from the West to this city and back again home, The conditions of the match were 100 birds eacn, twenty-one yards rise, eighty yaras boundary, find birds and trap for each other, Rhode Island rules to govern. Mr. Staples was chosen umpire for Paine and Mr. Doxie for Bogardus, Robert Robinson acting as referee, When the parties assembled it was discovered that Paine was the favorite, and from the first sale of pools to the end he continued the favorite, having the call at two to one, when Bogardus was three birds ahead of him, This great odds in his favor was said to be on account of the rare quality of the pigeons he had to give his opponent to shoot at, they having been recently imported from Eng- | rocks, and were in very fine condition, It was | 8aid by some of the gentlemen present, who least ten per cent by giving these birds to his opponent, and hence the odds in Paine's favor by to he shot at. Notwithstanding all the boasted ad- vantage of Paine’s blue rocks, howeve' over Bogardna’ New Jersey pigeons, the latter's friends were willing to take all the odds that were offered against him, and they consequently lost large amounts, as Paine won the match by one bird, he having killed eighty to Bogardus’ seventy-nine. If there was ten per cent advantage in Paine's | favor by shooting at New Jersey pigeons, while his adversary had to shoot at English blue rocks, Captain Bogardus 1s entitled to the greator credit for making Such a respectable score, The defeat of the latter, no doubt, will be considered a great achievement by Paine, and he will probably be con- tent with this victory, without again trying con- clusions with the prairie hunter of Dlinois. The shooting throughout was very fine. birds that Bogardus shot at were nearly all drivers, and they flew with great rapid- ity, close to the ground. These were the imported English blue rocks. Miles Johnson furnished the pigeons for Bogardus that Paine had to shoot at, and they were as good birds as have been used on previous occasions in this country, but for fight and strength they are far in- ferlor to the blue rocks, Bogardus shot with a double barrel ten bore Foster gun, weighing ten pounds. Paine’s gun was also a double barrel ten bore, made by Purdy, weighing eight pounds and a half, The following are the details of the shooting, to- gether with the score :— THE SHOOTING.

In the article on “Ocean Travel," which appeared in the columns of the HERALD last Sunday, it was stated that the steamship Atiantic, of the White Star Line, was towed from her dock by the Seth Low. This assertion naturally induced the jo sition that the vessel was despatched in a disal Feat condition, whick was not the case. The Seth Low escorted the Atlantic down the bay, as the “big ship” had on board a large party of Scandinavian excursionists intent on revisiting “Vaterland,””
