Refusal to Nominate Living Men. O’Conor and Adams Still To Be Their Phantom Chiefs. ee Dispersal Amid Ghostly Enthusiasm Over the Stillborn Ticket, EAKct West and South of O’Conor’s Ng ‘Will o’ the Wisp. 4, Lousvinyy, Ky., Sept,’b, 1879, After the general clearing out of delegates aiid sorrespondents Inst night, the Galt and Louisville hotels looked scant this morning. The band stil remained, but the leading members of the New ‘York delegation, from beyond which State to the Wastward no delegates had come, had quietly ‘@ropped off $o Cincinnati and homeward. They ‘wilt arrive Friday evening. Asa whole, reviewing ‘the affair in the light of alt that has happened, the etraight-out body received all the consideration it ‘bas had from VHB PATRONAGE OF MESSRS. O'CONOR AND ADAMS toward it. The wealth and good reputation of three or four New Yorkers, who came on person- ‘Ally at the suggestion of Judge W. 0. Barrett, brought up the character of the smaM metropolitan orps and made them the really commanding men ‘of the body. There were, neither npon the floor mor represented by letter nor proxy, any men of mote except the candidates. James Lyons, of Riehmond, is a sort of imperial fossil, who presided Well, but was uniformly dignified and circumspect ‘ef speech. The respectful treatment ef the body by the Chicago Times had been expected of that journal by reason of its course on the subject for a fortnight. Yet no man from Illinois of public prominence gave in his adhesion. &. N. Fitch, ex- United States Senator from Delaware, was retired weverat years ago by the democratic party, for his opposition to Stephen A, Dougtas and advocacy of Breckinridge’s clection. He is said to have been even picked out by the Breckinridge coterie to ghallenge Douglas. Mr. Davis, member of Congress, Of Wester Virginia, who wrote a letter, 18 a Sprightly man, who i FAVORS THE PROGRES OF CHAOS sf present politics and wishes miscluef of this kind to keep afoot,- The really working men on the floor, excepting the Apollo Hall party, were either Political impracticables, like Chauncey Burr and Wiltiam Corry; common-placé men, like Mr. Van Allen, of New York, and Mr. Dean, of Delaware, or Becond-rate politicians of indifferent repute, like reau, Wheaton and Golladay. It 1s, there- ré, not to be wondered at that an @bscure Indiana ex-Congressman by the mame of Edgerton had nearly outballotea the great grandson of John Adams, and that after the withdrawal of O’Conor’s name the whole body ‘was on the point of precipitately standing up for the Presidency the obscurer brother-in-law of Henry A. Wise. The news from Vermont made more effect @mong the Baltimore Convention democrats than the transactions of the Louisville bolters. It @eepened an impression that the Pendleton con- iracy will avail to Jose Indiana to Hendricks, and showen that the antiquated OPPOSITION IREELEY CONTINUES animate thé breasts of ed fiving democrats, 1d that they would refuse to rally ppon him. An crease of the republican m: orlty, in Maine will reak up the Greeley superstition. The fight may kept up till the October elections; but if they go st Greeley the smallest relative vote, con- dering one-fourth in population, will be cast in lovember ever yet given, tens of thousands of erate taying Away from the polls, | Kentucky Le aaa oMcers have been heatd to say that MEANT TO VOTE WITH GRANT fn order to break up utterly a Party capable of Bourbonizing even mane the South lies prostrate appealing for help. @ logic of the straight-out movement, therefore, is to destroy eyen the rem- Bant of the democratic party by incensing the uthern ex-rebels against the name and longevity party s0 unpersuadable.

The Republican State Convention met here yes- terday, but did not get organized till late last even- ing, and before much was done it was too late to transmit its proceedings, The strife for Governor ‘was very bitter, and resulted on the tenth ballot in the nomination of T. 0. Osborne, of Leavenworth. E. §. Storer was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. Resolutions were passed endorsing the Philadelphia platform; reciting the dificulties between settlers on late indian lands and corporations who are claiming their lands, and paxne that the govern- ment be at the expense of testing the title, and, if found to be in favor of the corporations, that Con- grease be asked to adopt measures that will satis hem; and to open land to settlers on homestea and pre-emption laws. x One resolution denounced in strong terms con ruption in securing oficial tions, and bpd wn the party against all candidates for ‘United States Senator next Winter who were tainted with cor- ruption in the past or who attempted to use money or-other improper influences in the future. This resolution, after a long and angry debate, was struck out and a substitute adopted, pledging the party now, as in the past, in favor of the free and incorrupt exercise of the elective franchise both at the polls and in the Legislature.

The race was then post. poned until this afternoon at half-past two o’ciock, The affair that gavo the lovers of good trotting such a treat yesterday afternoon was for a purse of $200, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, be- tween William McMahon's bay gelding Coroner K., James Campbell's black geld{ng Othello and J. Philips’ chestnut mate Fanny Fern. The first two heats were Won by Othello, then Coroner K. won two heats, the fifth beimg given to Fanny Fern, although she did not come in ahead, and therefore the time made docs not go on the ‘e. cord against her. Coroner K. was i great. favore before the start, Yelling in the pools for more than the dther two combined. After Othello won the frat heat he had the call at slight odds; but whefi he scored the second heat he-was the fayorite over the field at nearly two to one. After €oroner K. won the third heat ne resumed his old place in the betting and is a great favortte over both the others for to-day's settlement Qf the affair. A team trot was also announced to come off be- tween Mr, Phillips’ and Mr. Whitson’s teams, but when the horses were called Mr. Phillips’ team was on the ground, but Mr, Whitson’s did not show up. Another team was substituted for them, and a most miserable farce followed. Mr. Phillips’ team, it fs Stated, can trot in 2:35, while the team that started against them could not trot -better than 3:30, Phillips jogged his team around three times, the first heat being performed in 3:30, the second in 3:14 and the third in 2:29, The following are the details of the sport asit progressed ;— being nearly and sorex | PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS. mn cloned. as it is the THE FIRST TROT. First Heat.—Fanny Fern won the pole, Othello sec- ond, Coroner K, outside, After ten attempts they were started, Othello leading, Coroner K. second, Fanny Fern bringing up the rear. They all broke up ‘before they made the upper turn, and Fanny Fern went to the front. Coroner K. then collided with ‘Othello and tore several spokes out of his own sul- ky. At the quarter pole, which was passed in thirty-eight and a quarter seconds, Fanny Fern led one length, Othello second, one length ahead of Coroner K. Going down the backstretch Othello went up and collared Fanny Fern, Coroner K. being four Jengens behind. At the half-mile pole Othello led one length, in 1:16; Fanny Fern second, haifa dozen lengths ahead of Coroner K. Othello shortly afterwards broke up and the mare took sides with him for a short distance; but Othello trotted so fast after recovering from the break that he carried Fanny to a break and then left her for company with Coroner K., who came on with the spokes sticking out in all directions from his dam- aged sulky. Othello came home a winner by four lengths on a jog, Fanny Fern second, four lengths tn front of Coroner K, me, 2:312¢. Second Heat.— Othello had the best of the send-off, Coroner K. second, Fanny Fern third. All the horses broke up going ‘around the turn, but Coroner K. and Othello did little else than break and run, while Fanny Fern trotted steadily on. At the quarter pole Fanny led one length, with Coroner K. making buck jumps at her wheel, Othello one length further off on a break, The quarter pole was passed in thirty-elght and three- quarter seconds, At the half-mile the mare was one length and a half in front of Coroner K., who was two lengths ahead of Othello, the latter again in theatr. Time, 1:17%. Coroner K. closed with Fanny Fern on the lower turn, and they were head and head at the three-quarter pole, two lengths in front of Othello. The latter now puton the steam, and cen, 4 on steadily passed the others ey yards from home; but just as he did so Coroner K. ‘went intoa brisk run and beat Othello over the score half a length. The judges gave the heat to Othello and placed Fanny Fern second, Time, 2:32, Third Heat-—Coroner K. had the best of the send- off, Othello second, Fanny Fern third. Othello soon broke up and fell in the rear. At the quarter pole Coroner K. was six lengths in advance of Fanny Fern, in thirty-seven seconds. All three of the horses broke up on the backstretch several times, and at the half-mile pole—time, 1:15—Coroner K. was still six lengthe in advance of Fanny Fern, the latter two lengths ahead of Othello. The mare and Othello both broke up on the lower turn, and Coro- ner K, was eight lengths ahead at the three-quar- ter pole, Othello second, two lengths in front of the mare, Othello came on’rapidly and closed on Coro- ner K. until he was half way up the homestretch, when he broke up and Coroner K, was taken in hand and jogged across the score, Time of the eat, 2:30%. Fourth Heat.—Coroner K. now became as great a favorite as he was at the commencement of the race, Othello having fad the honor after the first and second heats. Coroner K. had the best of the start, but soon erwards broke up. He kept the lead, however, around the turn, Othello second, Fanny Fern third, Othello then broke up and fell in the rear, At the quarter pole Coroner K. led two lengths, Fanny Fern second, three lengths ahead of Gthello. Time, thirty-eight seconds, Fanny Fern closed up nicely on the backstretch, and as Coroner K. passed the half-mile pole he was half a length in front of the mare, who was four lengths in advance of Othello, Time, 1:1534. Fanny Fern broke up soon afterwards, and this gave Coroner K, @ commanding lead, as Othello also broke up immediately afterwards, At the three- uarter pole Coroner K. was four lengths ahead of ‘ann, n, Who was half a length ahead of Othello. The latter then made a fine burst, and, coming on steadily, closed on Coroner K. up the homestretch, the latter crossing the score a winner by one boot a in 2:30%. Fanny Fern was six ind.

Mr. Thomas Gee, of the Dewhurst Lodge stud, Wadhurst, Sussex, has purchased the whole of Lord Stamford's breeding stud for 18,500 guineas. Queen's Messenger, atter being knocked about in he betting for the St, Leger for seme time, was eventually struck out of the racé August 23, in the afternoon. Como has been also stricken from the same race. . Mr. Savile's well-known stallion Skirmisher, sire of Kaiser, Ryshworth, Ripponden and other famous race horses, died on Tuesday night, August 20, at Rafford Abbey, from injuries received last week, when he broke his fetlock joint while out at exer- cise. Skirmisher was bred by Lord Scarboro' 1854, and was by Voltigeur out of a G nt her'dam by Langar out of Sister to Busto, by He won several valuable stakes as a saese-year-old for Lord Zetland, after which he one / Ey Ang ee of 4 Rie, and broke 0 race ewmarket First Actin wag ane, th am, ey enowned steeple chaser, The Lamb, now the property of Baron EF, mhelm, won the Grand iteeple Chase at Aix-la-Chapelle on the 13th of Au- gust.

Preparing for the Fall Openings—The Broadway and West Side Trade—The Belles Coming Home—A Prospective Glance at the Au- tumn Styles—Tho Newest in Polonaise, Basque and Dress Patterne—How the Rising Generation Is To Be Apparelled, While the fair belieg of the Watering places were aisporting 17, che briny, Mirting by moonlight, con- tending &t croquet, drinking nauseous waters, changing toilets every hour or dancing in Gehenna- like ballrooms, those industrious handmaidens of fashion—the modistes—have been planning, con- be pleased to term the cabling, into existence these Wondrous structures of silk, satin or kindred ma- terial that are intended to adorn the female form divine. Even im those Sahara or Ujiji days, when the air was like a blast from a furnace and the sun poured down his flery arrows as relentlessly as when the children of Niobe became his target, the busy brain of the modiste was at work seeking in the spirit world of eccentricities for some novelty which should draw the crowd of fair worshippers toher shrine. Now, “in her mind’s eye” she saw a strange phantasmagoria of bonnets, many of which might justly be regarded as_ the creations of @ disordered brain, Again the air became dark with fabrics of every kind, resolving themselves into so many dress shapes that the eye would be puzzled as to the front or baek, or the Linndwan classifieation of the wearer. But the fickle thermometer suddenly falls from stewing to shivering point; the watering places are fast being left in hibernal solitude and home come the fair ones in scores, The first ques- tion they ask, almost before unpacking, is con- cerning the new styles. The costly Summer tollets, which were the cynosure of admiration a month ago, are flung contemptuously aside and an in- stantaneous rush is made for the salons of the Modiste. But she is caught napping and unpre- pared and the impatience of the pouting demol- selles must be restrained for a fortnight longer until the temple of fashion is put in order and decked out in the new styles, Nevertheless the in- dications of the season are significant on the dial of La Mode. Already THE SOFT, MISTY DRAPERIES and tints of Summer are replaced by the brilliant and suggestive Autumn colors. Although in ad- vance of the general opening, there is still suMcient display to give the outlines of the tout ensemble of the toilet for the present season. In a stroll up Broadway one sees an endless variety of new and beautiful fabrics. Among the silks there aye indigo blue or gros bleu, ranging from $2 to $6 per yard. Amethyst, olive green, peach blossom, flesh color, cameo—which is decidedly delicate in color— and a deep rose color, lately revived from antiquity. In stripes sage green, olive brown and London smoke Will be fashionable, Chintz figures in all shades are revived again, but it is predicted that solid colors will be more generally worn, Brocaded, striped Japanese is algo a new article, and will undoubtedly be er aehen Those who are not yet tired of Dolly Varden will have an excellent opportunity for becoming so, as @il wool empress, black tayente and chintz figures will appear under that familiar name; aiso the same material with colored satin stripes will be worn, There are irish poplins in all new shades and English prints of brilliant colors. Aimong the decided novelties are the brocaded Sicilian cloths, They are of heavy silken texture, with an overshot design in leaves*and flowers wrought upon the surface. Undoubtedly these will be the furore for evening wear, a8 when made they are boufant and stylish, Imported silks, velvet suits and those of home manufacture are Fonts awaiting thé openings. The array of shawls and outside apparels is ex- ccedingly brilliant and unique, In scarfs the Otto- mans are among the prevailing fashions for Fall, being richly tinted and sufficiently warm to protect the dainty throats of the wegrers till the season arrives for heavier wrappings. As yet there aro scarcely any new designs in laces, with the exception of Llama fichus, evening capes of Valenciennes and Ur ag laces. The continuation of the present Autumnal wea- ther will necessitate rather earlier than was antl- cipated the use of the man; GRACEFUL MANTLES that promise to be so fashionable for the ensuing season, Among the mantles exhibited at Madame Demorest’s, perhaps the most distingué is the “Von Raden,” named after the fair prima donna, who is to be with us so goon. This produces the effect of a plain circle in front, but has a broad, Watteau pas extending from the shoulders in the back, and the sides are arranged in a novel man- 80 as to ged like deep, pointed, Nowing It willbe made up for Autumn wear in the new undressed cashmere, which comes in the écru and brown shades, and in black and colored cashmere and heavy sult goods, Later it will be used in cloth. The “Royal and “Empress” mantles are intended for the same purposes, and will both make up hand- Somely in heavy cloth for the coldest winter weather, The “Royal” is something in the Metternich sone, and is especially graceful; the Empress ts 4 half-fitting sacque, with three seams in the back and darts in front, and is worn under a deep talma, open up the re This 13 quite as becoming for misses as for ladies. PERFECTLY TIGHT-FITTING GARMENTS are gradually going out of vogue for street wear, and are being replaced by the mantles mentioned above, half-loose paletots, polonalses and casaques, The polonaise still continues to be the leadin; over-garment, Lp gee the persisten' efforta to replace it by the basque and over- skirt. The loose styles are preferred for the street, and the tight ones worn in the house are modified for costumes de promenade by the addition of a jaanty cape of cashmere or the same material as the suit. A plain round talma is a favorite style, either open up the back to the shoulders or closed. Amore youthful style is the “Princess,” which has three distinct capes, the Hyer one pare litte more than a collar. The “Julie” has a talma front, and the back has three box-plaits laid in at the waist line and confined by a belt underneath, This is appropriate for quite heavy goods, For ordinary heavy goods a polonaise in the pe- lisse style, to be worn without looping, will be con- sidered the most recherch¢. “blouse” polo- naise is a favorite style, cut like a “Marguerite” in the back, with deep box-plaits let in a short dis- tance below the waist line, and fitted with one dart in gach front. It may be worn either perfectly loose or confined with a Russia leather belt, to which the chatelaine can be conveniently attached, Of the same genre is the “Princess’ pelisse, which is arranged either with or without side forms, For more dressy goods—silk and poplin—more bouffant styles will be used. In all of them THE FULNESS 18 MASSED IN THE BACK, leaving the front and sides comparatively plain. This aan is especially convenient for those inclined toward embonpoint, as the size is apparently diminished thereby. The “Vienna” possesses points that will certainly insure for it a continued vogue. The back is in the favorite Margueritte Ae) and the nt forms short, pointed basques falling over a short apron, which {s earried across the back, not to the walst line, but suMctently be- low to allow the effect of a basque, and confined by A ribbon, sash, or one of material. The “Lady Washington” is similar in effect, but the fronts are in polonatse style, and are only carried as far back as the side-form seamé, More dressy still, and just thé style for an cle. gant reception dress, is the “Lucca.” The back of this is arranged ina unique manner, which must be seen to be appreciated, Fhe front has a deep, rounded vest, buttoned all thé way down and fall- * over @ short draped apron. Vostumes en suite retain thelr vogue for street wear, but wili be supplemented a8 the season ad- vances by independent garments of different mate- rials, Ifthe suit is not trimmed entirely with, the material the garniture {g more frequentiy of the same shade than contrasting, or en camaieu, PRETTY airy yor BARLY AUTUMN WEAR are arranged with & omy train skirt, dounced all ye wa) ies the ye ic ue int and differently trimmed in front, and a jaunty aq UC of velvet or cashmere, Siprupceley Ate le the sleeves are to be of the same material ag the skirt. The “Lucia’’ is one of the prettiest designs in eee for this ee the “Vilette” has a mod- pot postiiion, and is completed by a smaji velvet vest. An overdress, eapecially designed to be worn with skirts, trimmed in the above-mentioned styie, is known as the “Eilse,” It has @ waist, round in the back, but having short basques tn front, fallin, over a draped apron, which is carried to the waist Haein the back, and furnished with a handsom Hoods are revived from obscurity and are added to very many of the street garm ne They should be selected with discrimination, for they usually in- crease the apparent width of the shoulders, A Very long, pointed hood, known as the “Zillah,” is less Mable to produce this effect than any other; amore dressy style is the “Lola,” which forms three dis- ; an “Elise”? has broad revers. tfuct points ; i j bi Al the dressed aré most fashionably arranged with a tence or polonaise, with a demi-train akirt, Over. skirts are more frequently worn with a plain round waist, finished with a sash, than with a esque, Basques differ very slightly in general style from last season, but are especially jaunty and becom- ing, They are of every conceivable sh: ud style, And in most of the designs the vest is still retained, It is more usual and much more convenient to sim- ulate a Vest with the garniture than to insert anin- dependent one, IAAF he WEAF ARE tam en om cocting, designing, creating, or whatever you may | the “Coralie.” It has @ vest in front, and the back 16 & combination of the pestilion and deep points, OVERSKIRTS FOLLOW SUIT, to the polonaises in having most of the fulness massed In the back.

For dressy use 1s the exceedingly distingué garment called the “Lucca” train, which combines a Watteau polo- naise and adjustable train in a most ingenious and graceful manner, ‘ IN CHILDREN'S FASHIONS the designs are almost innumerable, and are as practical As they are pretty. Polonaises take the ead both for the indoor and outdoor costumes of rls and misses. Especially pretty for home dresses in soft materials ts the plaited cmp rgd which is a half-loose blouse, with box plaits laid in the back, and bands in front arranged to simulate them. In the “Lotta” the side-forms are continued 80 as to form long sashes, which are to be tied; and the “Flora” has basques, which are continned and form sashes in the ack. But basques, which ara again very fashtonable for Listy and polonalses are almost invariably fastened In the back, 'This is much more youthful looking and becoming. One of the prettiest basques is called the “Fiorette,'t and hag rounded tabs In the back and a pointed vest in front. Overdresses and overskirts are in endless va~ riety, They follow about the same style as the polonatses, The “Clara’’ overskirt and the ‘Elida’? overdress will be sure to become favorite designs. For little boys who have arrived at the dignity of ants the “Harold” suit 1s (ves designed, ‘ounger ones wear the pretty little “Charlie” suit, with a Jaunty jacket and kilt-plaited skirt, or the “Pearl” dress. Oller boys wear suits copying as nearly as may be the styles of their seniors of male persyasion, slid ant iad bre YACHTING. The Newport Citizens’ Cup—The Regatta To Be Sailed Again On Thursday, the 12th. Owing to the dense fog prevailing at the concld- sion of the race for the Newport prizes and the confusion arising from the nearly simultaneous arrival of the Dauntless and Resolute and the colle sion of the former with the Lightsntp, it was aim. cult to determine which of the two was the actual winner of the schooner prize. As the owner of neither yacht desired to claim the prize upon merely technical grounds, and as they think wea- ther deprived the citizens and visitors of Newport of thd pleastire of witnessing the race from the shore, they have by mutual con- sent courteously waived all claim to the prize an proposed that it be again sailed for, under circumstances more satis- factory to the donors of the prize and more favor- able to a decisive result. A second race for the Newport schooner prize will therefore be sailed on ‘Thursday, September 12, or as soon thereafter as the weathor may be favorable, open to all schooner yachts, The course willbe the same as that pre- ylonsly chosen—viz., from Brenton’s Reef Lightship to Vineyard Sound Lightship and return, with a fiying start. The race will be satled under the direction of the Regatta Committee of the New York Yacht Club, or, in their absence, of a special committee to be'selected by the yacht owners on the Saturday preceding, and under the rules of the New York Yacht Club, except that there will be no time allowance, and entries may be made by notice sent on board the yacht Dauntless up to eight o'clock P, M. Wednesday, September 11, Arrival of the Brooklyn Yacht Club Fleet at Glen Cove. On BoaRD YACHT MADELEINE, GLEN Covg, Sept. 5, 1872, The Brooklyn Yacht Club fleet arrived here thi afternoon, in straggling order, in pursuance of or der to rendezvous & Glen Cove on Thursday, at five P. M. Tho fleet now in harbor embraces schooner Madeleine, Commodore Jacob Voorhees, Jr.; Madgie, Mr, Rufus Hatch; Fleur de Lys, Com- modore Dickerson; Alice, N. B, Nichols; Meta, Mr. G, A.

I., where the club will be received by MrfJenkins Van Schatck. A clam bake and re- gatta embrace the programme of to-morrow. The fleet leaves for Bradford, Conn., on Saturday morn- ing, where they will be joined by several other yachts belonging to the squadron, Mr. Douglas’ Chalicnge to the English Yachts, (From the Field, August 24.) Sm—My object in offering to race with any schooner in England was to test fairly the respect ive merits of Engiish and Amertean yachts. That this test should be satisfactory, the conditions of the race should, a8 far as possible, be 60 arranged that the victor Should be indebted for the prize to superior sailing qualities, and not to luck. That this is too often not the case in sailing round the Isle of Wight is generally admitted. A vessel may out. strip her opponents by miles in going around the island, and yet in a Ifght wind be jammed by meet- ing an ebb tide at the Needles, and thus allow all the rest of the fleet tocome up with her, She might have gained her time twice over and yet would be beaten. It is for this reason that I have named the coursé from the Nab to Cherbourg and back, a fair, open one, where each vessel has an equal chance and has no temptation to dodge in and out, looking for land breezes, and incurs no danger of ground- ing from an over-anxlety to get into slack water and cheat the tide, Tnamed an eight or ten knot breeze in order to save tho-race from being one of those unsatisfac- tory drifting matches of which we have seen so many this year, Surely an eight or ten knot. breeze would not overpower even the smallest schooner, In a very light air the smaller vessel can, in nine cases out of ten, beat the larger one even handed, owing to her lighter canvas, and yet the latter has to allow the former Just as much time as ifit blew half a gale of wind, That nothing should stand in the way, however, ofso interestin; a trial ag might regult, should @ match bg made, Waive this stipulation. . In addition to this, although I fully appreciate the injustice of the English system of measure. ment when applied to American models (and I am lad to gee that an “Old Yachtsman”’ sustains me inthis), lagree to accept the Royal Yacht Squad- ron measurement and scale of time allowance. .To be brief, I will sall any schooner in England from the Nab to Cherbourg and back three race the winner of two out of three to take the prizé, say @ fifty or 100 guinea cup. Flying start, the days and hour of starting to be named and the yachts to sail regardless of weather. Royal Yacht Squadron measurement and scale of time allowance, No restrictions as to hands, canvas, &c., but no trim- ming by dead weight during the race, This offer will be left open for one fortnight from date, and I shall require one week's notice to pre- are.
