YACHTING. Sailing for the Chal- lenge Cup. BABA SSIS ose, COMMENCEMENT OF THE RACE. Madeleine, ef the New York Club, vs. Rambler, of the Eastern Club. The Regaita Committee Leave the Yachis Off New Inlet. Since last summer yachtsmen have been anx- fously looking for the tlne when the Commo- @ore’s Chailenge Cup, of the New York Club, calling for a race open to yachts of all Nations, from Sandy Hook Lightship to a lightship of Newport and return, should be sailed for. Yes- terday, much to their satisfaction, was settled upon, and the competing vessels started for the prize under favorable ct mstances of wind and weather, A series of disasters, unfortunately, reducdd the number of contestants, these being only the schooners Madeleine, of the New York Yacht Club, and the Rambler, of the Eastern Yacht Cinb, The other yachts that intended to cuter were either wuprepared or cruising in Eastern waters. The conditions and those under which it is to be held are as fol- lows :— First—It is to be held by the winner for thirty | @ays aiter the race without Hability to chalienge. * | Seond—Upon the expiration of that period the winner must accept any challenge and be prepared to sailarace over the saine course Within tliteen days (0m th receipt o. stich chalienge, or forfeit tae wup to the ch wer, but should any yacht succeed in holding the cup in two consecutive races during one season it will not again be lable to challenge woth the commencement of the yachting season of the following y . Srenkal yachti rence to tiis ¢ x season in American waters, ig understood to be from the third lay im June until the third Thurs. day in Octoner each year, hour should a yacht holding this cup be soid out nf the New York Yacht Club the cup suall not Oo wiih her, but shail be retarned to the club, to e agit sailed for; and if the eup should he Neld byx foreign yacht, and she showid be sold out of tre club to which she belongs, the cup shall not be wid with her, but shall be returned to the New York Yacht Club, to be sailed jor again as above provided. #ijth—in the cvent of the Cup being held at the close of a season by a foreign yacat, the owner thereof will be liable to challenge during the season of the next year for an ocean race, over a course from the Needles, Isle of Wight, to and around a stakeboat off the harbor of Cherbourg and return, The steamboat P. C. Schultz, under command of Captain William F, Schultz, took on board, at the foot of Dey street, a number of gentiemen greatly interested in the decision of the cup, and sharply at eleven o'clock she steamed for the Lightship of Sandy Hook. Those on board comprised G. L. Haight and William Krebs, of the Regatta Com- mittee; Charles A, Minton, Secretary of the Club; Hamilton Morton, Jolin Oddie, Samuel Cockeine, T. E, Carter, of Portland; William T. Lee, oretary af the Brogkiyn Yacht Club; Ralph E. Izard, of South Carount?-Cglgnel Yan Dyke, William Pegg) George 4. Jordan, N. 1 valley a A, Borers Secretary of the American Jockey Ciup, meee On the way down to the Lightship the scumty | met the Rambler In the ship channel, and, there being uo wind, took her in tow; but before they proceeded to the starting point Mr. Forbes came on board and consulted with Messrs, Haight and Krebs regarding the race. It was then ascertained that pd eat bes ante to much onyenienge bh “his inst thave Teuving iim at Wnit-stong on Wednes- day, after knowing of the Rambler's intention to sail the race when they left Boston harbor, and was only enabied to carry out the resolve made by Martin F. Lyons assisting Captain Crocker in obtaining 2 racing crew. At the Lightship the Madeleine was found ready for the engagement. Mr. Voorhis soon boarded the Schultz, and the watches being arranged, Mr. Haight and others were put on the Madeleine’s deck, when, amid much interest shown, the Schuitz steamed into position, to enable Mr. Krebs to give the signal of departure.

She was then a sloop of eighty- eight tons, Early in 1870 she was altered to 2 schooner of 148 tons, and her breadth of beam Increased by bemg hipped three feet. This spring she was lengthened ten feet aft and her spars increased in length. THE RAMBLER Was built in the spring of 1871 by Mr. Beckwith, of New London, for Mr. James H. Banker, of the New York Yacht Club, Early in the season of this year he sold her to Mr. James M. Forbes, of Boston, mem- ber of the Hastern yacht Club. So soon as she could be fitted to her new owner's taste the Ram- bler went on a cruise to the Azores, stopping at Fayal, and only returned ten days ago, when prep- aration was made to enter the rage for the Chal- lenge Cup, “-rerggar ~ No ge TI Rat itn dm ae At {Orty-three minutes past threo the yachts were Leading in shore towards the Highlands, two miles southwest of the Lightship, with the wind light from the westward, it Was a fitting moment to give the starting signal, When Mr. Krebs directed | the whistie to be sounded, they both wore | around, shifting fore topsails, headed for the | Lightslip. ‘The yachts then carried — the | following sails :-— Madeleine—Mainsall, fore- Bail, forestaysall, jib, fying jib, jib top- sail and the two topsails. ett re a At 3:60 | same, with the exception of lore staysail. the Madeleine set her maintopmast staysail, and at 3:52 hauled down her jib and fying tory to setting her balloon i1d., ae cet Usage bier set her maintopur taysail, gud the sight a This time, wit the water ike Viguid giass, was au enchanting sight, being as pretty @ marine pigturg as ever devoted yachtsien saw, The interest on board the judges’ boat at tiis moment assumed | the nature of an excitement, and many of the Junior members of the citb were anxious to indu in betting on the result, At 3:68 the Madeleine set her square-headed foretop- sail, both the yachts then on the port tack, with the'wind hauling to the northwest, tide ebb, and the Ligliiship only one hundved yards distant.’ Ac- cording to directions, they passed to the southward Of the Beacon light, of the coast, the Madeleine going by it at 4, 0 ., hauling up for LONG ISLAND BEACH, when, perceiving the wind was backing to south- southwest, squared aw to catch its first influ- ence, At 4h, di. 1s, the Rambler went by_ the Lightsli), and her sailing master had even before, Oticed the change in the breeze, and, down Weut her y seeming! like a bul ulopmast staysail at 4b. 7m. 103 paring to t advantage of the changing br Her antagonist, observing this, | sent down their like sail, at sil. si.

Wins the 2:40 Purse, Ed. White the 2:27 Premium and Dixon the Four-Year-Old Race. ‘The weather was delightful to-day and the track in capital order. The ladies’ balcony was crowded with the beauty of Orange county, and a more lovely display of fine figures and healthy faces conld not be produced in any partof the world, The trot- ting was highly interesitng, all the contests being doubt‘ul to the finish, The entries for the first trot comprised R.

Mv- Nally’s bay mare Addie, J. ©, Coleman's bay mare Goshen Mai‘. Coroner K. sold highest in the pools, Live Oak was withdrawn before the start. This was a capital race, and was won by Coroner K. in first class Style. McMann drove a game and fearless race, and won it gallantly, receiving many expressions of admiration from the assembled crowd. The second trot had eight entries and seven starters. These were W, H, Borst's bay mare Lady Bacchus, M. Roden’s sorrel gelding Fleetwood, C. Hoagland’s gray gelding Gray Jack, J. Ellis’ gray gelding Gray Eddy, J. H. Phillips’ bay gelding | Ed. White, S, Whitman’s bay mare Lady Whitman and G. N. Ferguson’s chestnut gelding James K. Polk, formerly Judge Scott. The whare Tennessee was withdrawn on account of lameness, she having broken down a few days since. This was a most doubtful contest from be- ginning toend, Gray Eddy was the favorite over the field, but he never looked like a winner to me. He dragged his off hind leg along as if it was stim, and on the fourth heat at the quarter-pole stopped suddenly as if he had broken down. When he re, sumed his trotting he was not lame, but exhausted, Ed White won a good race. The third event of the day wasa trot between four-year-olds, five coming to the post. These were R. F, Galloway’s brown colt Dixon, by Happy Me- dium, dam by Old Morrell; D, Sayer’s brown mare Mary Miller, by Sayer’s Guy Miller, dam by Harry Clay; Anthony Doyle's bay filly Polly Ticks, by Young Woful, dam by Hector; Charles Backman’s bay gelding Silver Heel, by Hambletonian, dam by Harris’ Hambletonian, and Wallace Benjamin's bay stallion Keno, by Ethan Allen, dam unknown, Dixon was a great favorite over the fleld before the , but when beaten by Silver Hee! in the first heat, the latter jumped in favor. The driver of Dixon was changed, Jimmy McKee taking Dixonin hand, He distanced the others in ft style, and closed the racing at an carly i wing are the details of the sport as it progressed :—" Sig pas we THE FIRST TROT. . ’ First Heat,—Gray Eddy had the best of the second, Ed.

The opinion prevails that he is not a game horse, and when pressed too much gives up like a coward, Ed. White won the heat by foug lengths, James K. Polk second, ten lengths in advance of Lady Bacchus, Gray Eddy and Fleetwood distanced, Fourth Heat.—James K, Polk was away first, Bacchus second, Ed White third. Going around the upper turn’ James K. Potk broke up and Ed White went to the front, and took such a command- ing lead to the quarter pole that the others were out of the race. Ed White trotted on steadily to the end and won by ten lengths, Bacchus second, Jaines K, Pelk third.

The remains were sent to the Morgue and Coroner Schirmer notified to hold an inquest, The police of the Twenty-ninth precinct on Wednesday night made a raid on the vagrants who are in the habit of sleeping in Madison Square Park, and arrested about thirty of them. The ma- jority were discharged by Justice Ledwit, with an admonition not to repeat the offence; but one or two were committed, William Ryder, of No. 2 Hall place, got im- toxicated Wednesday night and wen’ home to his wife, Some dispute arose between them, and, 11's alleged, William presented a pistol at his wie Catharine’s head. He was arraigned yesterday be- fore Judge Shandley, at Essex Market, and heid to auswer under $500 bail. James Austin, who 1s about sixty years of age, with a large, muscular frame and a@ rather repul- sive face, although it bears the marks of intolli- ape! was arrested yesterday in Washington square y Ofticer Mc(onigal, of the Central Park police, immediately after havingSeen seen to commit an indecent assault upon a little girl about nine years old, whose name Js Lonisa Spaugenberg.

The Comptroller decreed that the plans should be left with him for consideration, and Gea- eral Hamilton complied with the request. Commissioner Van Nort, of the Department of Public Works, has done anotier good act in order- ing large drinking fountains for the use of man and beast to be placed on the lines of all the principal avenues. Four of these fountains are already in position, at the corner of avenue A and Sixteentir street, First avenue and Sixteenth street, Third avenue and Sixteenth street and Third avenue and l2ist street. Two more are now being put up—one at Sixth avenue and Sixteenth street and one at Eighth avenue and Sixteenth street. The idea of placing these fountains on a given line on all the avenues, instead of distributing them promiscu- ously, is a very good one, enabling cart and truck- men to know precisely where they can water their horses on our principal thoroughfares, DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS.

The Sayings and Doings at the “Summer Capital.” The President Bored by Bohemians. AMUSING INCIDENTS AND REFLECTIONS, A Talk with General Mott—The Khedive’s Aide- de-Camp on the Butler Shooting Affray—In- terview with Senator Frelinghuysen— Senator Schurz’s Charge—Opinions on the Presidential Candidates—The Latest Distinguished Arriv: LONG Branon, July 25, 1872, President Grant arrived at the Branch yesterday noon. Ichanced tobe on the same boat as the President, who had scarcely set foot on board when he was captured bya vulgar looking man evidently hailing from the outer wastes of Bo- hemia; but the President proved a barren conquest in his hands, Seated at @ convenient distance I could observe that be did not once reiax his sulfen silence, although the unbeantiful man poured out a continuous flood of talk and kept buzzing him for about half an hour. At last his patience gave way; he abruptly arose and waiked away. Nothing daunted, the Bo- hemian followed; but the President eluded him a little while by walking into one of the staterooms, The Boliemian resolved to bide his time. When the President come out about ten minutes afterwards he again made for him and continued in the same stram. He might as well have talked to a statue, for ne did not receive any reply. I expect, however, that the enterprising Bohemian will improve the oppor- tunity, and come out to-morrow with'a report in extenso of the views of the President on the foreign and domestic policy of the administration, ranging from the San Juan boundary question to the North Carolina election. THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEWSBOY. The President broke silence but once, and that was to buy a copy of Harper's Weekly of a news- boy with a face so singularly ugly that it deserves to be immortalized on the canvas. He took out from among his papers a copy of the desired paper and the President handed him a fifteen cent stamp inreturn. The boy, who evidently recognized in the gentieman with the white linen duster the with the fond hope that the Chief Magistrate would make him a present of the balance, but he was mistaken, The President held out his hand to receive the change. The boy fambled in his capacious pockets for about half a minute, still hoping that the word would be, “Never mind the change ;” but the Presidential hand did not relax, 80 at last he drew forth the five-cent nickel and placed it in the palm of the President of the United States, who quietly slipped it into his poeket. The President then sat down to peruse the pauper. The Bohemian still clung to him with bull- dog tenacity and took a seat beside him, making the most amusing attempts to be sociable by help- ing the President to fold and unfold the paper, GREELEY AND GRANT COMPARED. Having so good an opportunity to observe the “observed of all observers,” f mentally compared him with his rival for the Presidency. I saw Horace Greelcy in my mind's eye seated beside General Grant. The Sage of Chappaqua, with his beautifully- shaped head, silver bair and shining pate, with his bland, placid and speaking face—the face of a bright schoolboy suddenly struck with .ege—a face that bespeaks a great mind freighted with vagaries. Putting an olive branch into his mouth I beheld in him an allegorical representative of Peace. Beside him the man in possession of the vast power he desires to keep for another four years, about whom there is such diversity of opinion, He is represented by some a gloomy, avaricious despot, intent on pelf, ready to wade rough rivers of blood if they stood between his jesires and it. According to others he is an imbe- cile—has not even sense enough to be bad. & man whose mind is a tabula rasa, Listen to a third one, and he is a holy man without a single stain on his escutcheon—the reatest Warrior and statesman of the . He has a square wigged head—a face which does not speak, nor seems as if it would be spoken to, for it has a sullen, stolid look. He seems like a man who had never said a witty thing in all his life, nor appreciated wit in others, le is jnst now looking at Nast’s clever carricatures with the same stolid indifference as I fancy he looked at the car- e on the battle fleld. hich of the two is the “coming man?” The headquarters of the élite, the West End Hotel, JOHN BROUGHAM’S TORMENTER, wore a quiet aspect to-day, 1 saw my nial friend, Mr. John bas to walk about in an aimless sort of way, as time hung heavily Is opinion of Senator Schurz, I remarked, “Sehurz bas made a grand h, “Well, Senator [tin is a scholarly man,” said Sere nghareen, pather deprecatungly. om ce the next feneyer’ is ga ane ik General Grant is the people’s choice. ‘Was there ever a President who: o ‘en, Senator, Presidents who were quite as prithirs 1 Bett “tine coln, for instance, and, I dare say. others.

THE EFFEO? OF SCHURZ’S SPEECH. The speech of the prom Missourion is uppermost on the minds of all those with whom I have con- versed. Even the ladies have taken interest enough in politics to take sides and engage in controversics regarding the merits or defects the Presidential candidates. Many of the distinguished men, whose opinions are worth having, look upon the ques- tion as a choice between two evils. cn eral Dancan S. Walker, the ant son ofgan illustrious father, says that he considers himself fortunate in belonging to the District of Columbia, and being thus reiieved of th mal necessity of choosing betwéen Greeley and Grant, He remarked that he feels about the two candidates as the Irish woman felt when she saw her husband, who was in the habit of beating her, engaged in a desperate Foor le with a bear. She shouted, “Go it, hus- band; go it bear!” She would inin see them tear each other, a8 the General. would like to see the two candidates, Mr. Chauncey Depew looks upon Schura’s speech as the grandest eifort of that Senator, and one which is likely to have an imfvence upon the coun- try.

The Wagner Mystery Still a Mystery~ Close of the Coroner’s Inquest—Cause of Death Not Discovered--Nichols Dis- charged—The Horrible Burial System Censured. To the numerous unravelled murderous mysteries of Newark is to be added that of Henry F. Wagner, the young German. The inquest touching his deatly was resumed yesterday before Coroner Munn, in the Court House at Newark. Evidence corrobora- tive of what has already been printed in the HERALD was given by witnesses Nicholas Ebert, William F, Lyon, Officer John Lees, Hiram W. Davis, of Harrison, and Dr. Dodd, the County Physician, The evidence of the latter was the most important, and was as follows:—Witness made a post-mortem examination of the body on the 24th; the hair on the face and head had fallen off, as well asa portion of the flesh; the bones of the skull were sound, showing tnat the + SKULL WAS NOT FRACTURED} the heart and lungs and other organs of the body were in a condition to represent that Wagner had been in a healthy condition previous to his death; in witness’ opinion death was caused by drowning, but whether by design or accident he knew not; when found the body was whiteaud no marks of violence were visible. Frank P. Nichols, @ brother of James B., testified that the latter had stopped at his house iu Hoboken while absent from Newark; that he was without funds, and at his request went over to Brooklyn and also to Stapleton, 8.

My military friend says that the snubbing he re- ceived trom the Czar of all the Russias has some- thing to do with it and that Fred thinks of nothing Jess than inducing his illustrious parent to precipi tate this country into @ war with the Northern Co- lussus in order to avenge the insult, In this dark purpose he is seconded by Secretary Fish, who Maintains that Catacazy got off too lightly with the Joss of his position and that nothing short of per- petual continement in irons in the mines of Siberia would have been an adequate punishment for the enormities of the little Muscovite. This story is contidently recommended to the credulous marines, THE KHEDIVE’S AIDE-DE-CAMP. 1 was presented to-day to an interesting person- age—General T. P. Mott, a major-general in the Egyptian army and first aide-de-camp to His High- ness, the Khedive. The General is a well known New Yorker, who served in the Union army dw ing the war, He has a noble, commanding presence, and looks like one born to be a leader of men. To judge him by his light complexion he looks more like a man who had lived among “Greenland’s icy mountains” than one who had spent many years under the burning sun. ot ypt. Our oonversation naturally turned on thingsin theland of the Pharaolis, Tasked him what he knew about the disgraceful shooting ee in Alexanaria, in which Consul General butler, his private secretary, Wadieigh, and several American oficers in the Egyptian service had been the chief actors, The General replied that in his official capacity, as officer of the Khedive, he was bound over to silent reserve, the more so because he had not yet received the detuils of the affair, ‘The oilicers who took part in the shooting are now under trial by a military commission, and, if gailty, they will be’ punished by the Pe Ones tly and severely, On the other hand, if the United States government should find that the wrong lay with Consul General Butler, he hoped that the American authorities will do unto the Khedive as the Kledive would do unto them. The General was not under the same restraint in talking about Egypt in general. He said that the American officers in the kgyptian service had on the whole given satisfaction to the Khedive. Two or three of them had to be dismissed at the very outset for intemperance, but those remaining are doing very well. The relations between the Sultan and the Khedive, said General Mott, were now better than they had ever been before, and they were likely to continue in the same way ; for neither of them felt any inclination to quarrel. The General will leave Long Branch Saturday on @ tour to the dinerent watering placet A TALK WITH SENATOR FRYLINGHUYSEN.

Litt.e Rock, Ark., July 25, 1872, The Dardanelle Transcript of Tuesday, referring: to the Pope County troubles, says:—‘‘The Circuit: Court, Judge May presiding, commenced on Monday. A. Hanks, of Bluffton, was appointed Sheriffpro tem. Twenty-four of the posse who were charged with the murder of prisoners in their custody were in attendance. Depnty Sheriff Williams, the ringleader of the criminais, was selected as chie: of the guard to keep the prisoners. Among the guard appointed were four relatives of the defend- ants. The Transcript says aiso that the reason why Judge May postponed holding Court last week is now evident to all, as the prisoners, although disbanded as militia by Governor Hadley, have since all been well armed with the most improved muskets. The ringleaders—Dodson, the Sheriff; Hickox, School Superintendent, and Williams, Deputy Sherif—claim that they have the right to go on the bond of the prisoners, and that they had a. private understanding with Judge May allowing them to run at large. A sense of insecurity revails in every bosom in consequence. We are informed that most of the best citizens of Pope connty have left the county, and that the frends of the murdered men will not ap- pear to testify in the case.” Yesterday, after publication of the above, the Court issued an order for the arrest of Captain Barry, editor of the Transcript, charged with con tempt of court in publishing the above article. He was ordered to report at Russellville, in the ad~ joining county, at the regular term of the Court. next week. Parties at Dardanelle say Barry shalt not report ag ordered, fears being entertained that: he will be Killed, Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of forty citizens of Dardanelle charged with an at~ tempt to assassinate Deputy Sheriff Williams and with treason against the State.

For thirteen days he was surrounded by about twenty-five hundred savages who would neither entertain nor make propositions in regard to a treaty.
