THE YACHTING CARNIVAL, The Annual Regatta of the New York Yacht Club. A GALA DAY ON THE WATER. Twenty Yachts Compete for the Club Prizes. A Brilliant Assemblage Witness the Sports. The Course Not Made Within Eight Hours. XAOHT RACING IN JUNE A FAILURE. ‘The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club. Yor 1873 was sailed yesterday, but from want of: Agr atte wind no yacht made the coutse in eight hours, ae required’ by the ‘rules’ of the, Club, ‘and, con- sequently, the regatta will be sailed again to-day. In every other point of view the regatta was an immense success, and the ladies on board the different steamers, the majority of whom, hav- ing no interest in the respective speed of the contestants, go really for’ pleasant sail down the Day, must have realized their expectations to the Suilest extent. THE COMMITTEE BOAT ©. Chamberlin, with the members of the press and a large party of guests on board, left pier 28 East River, at half pastnine A.M., and proceeded to Staten Island, where the yachts were quietly awaiting the orders of the committee. The weath- er did not promise well, recalling the lines— Fett 9s treat nor iotion— ijt Mab tee ‘The Narrows presented quite a lively appearance, ‘with the blue waters dotted over with steamers and sailing craft of every description. Among ‘THE STEAMERS PRESENT ‘were the Plymouth Rock, Twilight, D. R. Martino, William Fletcher, Seth Low, Magenta, Henry Smith, Winona and Pleasant Valley, with the steam yachts Emily, Wave, Lurline, Mischief and others. ‘fhe starting signal was given from the 8. Cham- berlin. and the yachts crawled slowly over the line. -The schooner yachts Enchantress, Columbia, Tarolinta and Fleur de Lis, each with a large party of guests on board, salied along with the fleet, al- though not competing for the prizes. Messrs. Krebs and Chase represented THE COMMITTES on board the Chamberlin and Mr. Westray re- mained on the Club steamer Twilight. The ab- sence of wind was certainly unfortunate, as there were more spectators on the water than have been present at any regatta since the memorabie race for. the Queen’s Cup in 1870, and, naturally, many went home disappointed at not seeing the race sailed out, The Peeriess got considerably ahead of of the ficet, and snlghs, Ree the rest siply,” have made the race if she» © had not been headed of by a change of wind, on her way back from the lightahip to Sandy Hook. The yachts all looked well, newly painted and decorated and wearin; new suit of sails, looking white and clean in the bright June sun, THE RACE, Boot without wind is at all times rather dull, but yacht racing in a calm is simply disgusting— wearing Out men and spectators. Yesterday morn- ing promised well, and at about eight o’clock there ‘was a good prospect of a pleasant breeze; but as time dd away and the hour for starting beep 1d What little wind there was had nearly ied away, and the yachts were drifting listlessly about, awaiting ct starting signal. rer EF TTA - JEG A" ‘was sailed under the sailing regulations of the New York Yacht Club, and attention js called to the fact that by.recent action of the Club the rule restricting the number of men to be carried on regattas was rescinded, and yachts were allowed to carry any number of men. THE COURSE was from the given line to and around a stakeboat at buoy No, 844 on the Southwest Spit, keeping it on the port hand in turnings thence to and around the Sandy Hook lightship, keeping it on the star- board hand in rounding, and return over the same course, keeping the Southwest Spit buoy on the starboard hand, Yachts kept to the eastward of buoys Nos. 9, 11 and 13, on the west bank, going and returning, and passed between the judges? boat and the stakeboat on arriving home, THE PRIZES comprised four, of the value of $250 each :— One prize for the schoouer which makes the race in the ghortest time, without time allowance. coer for the schooner which wins with time allowance. One prize for the sloop which makes the race in the shortest time witnout time allowance. One prize for the sloop which wins with time al- Jowance. by the rules no yacht shall receive more than one prize, and if the schooner or sloop which wins the Prize of her class witheut time allowance wins also the prize with time allowance the latter will go to the schooner or sloop which comes in second ‘with time aliowance. THE START ‘was a fiying one, and the time of each yacht was taken as she crossed a line between a stakeboat, which was Anobored: some yer near Fort jsworth, Staten Island, an judges’ steamer, the 8. Chamberlin. The ‘als for starting were given from the a y , as follows :— r & preparatory signa: gue gun, and the Yacht Clab onthe steamer lowered; and ten minutes later, the start, one gan, and the fag lowered. The expiration of the time marked bya third gun and jowering of flag.

WILLIAMBBURG SUNDAY SCHOOLS, A Grand Pageant—Over Twenty Thou- sand Sunday School Children, Teachers, Guardi and Friends in Line. The anniversary of the Williamsburg Sabbatn School Association was celebrated yesterday, when over twenty thousand cheerful Christians paraded the principal streets with music, banners, mottoes and flowers, The weather was delightful, and the bright sunlight and balmy breezes prevailing made the processionists unusually joyous and animated. ‘The pageant eclipsed all the May anniversaries heretofore gotten up by the Association, and re- fected great credit on all who had the management of it.

It was expected that the Mayor would send in@ couple of nominations for police magistrates, and everybody wanted to know who were to be the lucky men, particularly as a large delegation is interested in having one or two of the present incumbents retained. They stand a very poor chance of being gratified. There was, of course, @ whole world full of speculations as to the nominees likely to be submitted at the meeting of yesterday, and of course they were, without exception, wrong—every one of |: them. The Mayor’s pominations are in that peca- liar category of “things that no fellan can find out,” as Dundreary pute it. There was quite a large array of distinguished citizens in waiting on His Honor yesterday, but THE MOST PECULIAR PARTY that called was a delegation from the Central Ger- man-American Reform Association, consisting of Samuel D. Sewards and Dr. Schoennof, These gen- tlemen represented to the Mayor that they came to represent the German reform element, and to urge on him a proper consideration of the services and claims of the organization and its members, They also de- sired that His Honor would introduce them to the heads of departments and the members of the va- Tious municipal commissions, ‘The rea) drift of their desire was to be put in communication with the varions appointing powers, with a presump- tive endorsement from the Mayor, which should be to them a quast letter of marque, with which to go out privateering over the whole sea of patronage. The Mayor gave them a general letter—very general in its terms—“To the Heads of Departments and whom it may concern,” setting forth that the delegation represented the 0, G. A. R. A., which was very desirous of aid- ing the subject of municipal reform, and it was the belief of the organization that their efforts would redound to the best interests of themselves, and of the city generally. The committee did not exactly like the idea of having things ‘‘bunched”’ in this way, and would have preferred aseparate letter to each official; but the gentlemen leit with only one letter between the two of them. It is now seriously agitated what will the one do who has no letter to carry about ? THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN met at half-past three o’clock, and there was @ and rush of the curious to witness the proceed- ings. All the members were Present, save Messrs. Clausen, Li ht, Monheimer id Van Schaick, Alderman Vance, the President, occupied the chair. Alderman Morris introduced aresolution to allow the piesa ay, and East Side Stage Company torun their stages through Cortlandt street, Relerred to the Committee on Streets. Alderman BILLUXGS offered a resolution permit- ting the Equitable Life Assurance Company to erect three ornamental lamps in front of their building, at Broadway and Cedar street, the cen- tral lamp to bear an illuminated clock anda drink- ing fountain, the work to be done at the expense ofthe applicants and subject to the restrictions of the Department of Public Works. Adopted, Messages were received from the Mayor trans- mitting the annual report of the Fire Marshal; also a letter offering for sale to the city a portrait by Trumbull of De Witt Clinton for the sum of vale also the report of the City Chamberlain, for the week ending Saturday, May 31—all of which were referred to apprdéprigte committees. ‘The Mayor also transmitted a commanication re- ferring to the life, public serviggs and DEATH OF abe 1.

Alderman Cooper rose and said that there were many important duties devolving upon this Board, but he thought there were none tiat had come or were yot to come before it that were o! greater importance tnan that of determining the fitness of candidates for Poiice Justiceships. He had in his mind a certain project to enabie the Board to carry out fully their views on this subject, and he proposed to make a motion that all the nomina- tions submitted to his Honor the Mayor be referred to the Committee on Law of this Board, or toa special committee, and that said committee shall organize a public meeting and invite the citizens generally and the Bar Association to come for- ward and express their views and discuss the merits of the candidates, Alderman McUafterty nipped this-very circumlo- cutory project in the bud uy moving that the nom- inations be laid on the table and ‘the motion was adopted, in conformity with the action taken with regard to previous nominations. Alderman Cooper alone voted “Nay.” The Board then adjourned. THE: CANDIDATES, Alfred T. Ackert, nominated for Police Magis- trate, is a native ef ‘New York, about thirty-five years ofage, and a lawyer by profession. He is very well and favorably known among the mem- bers of the Bar, and bis reputation is unquestioned. He has been for some years identifed with politics in this city, but has not held any public office, and is one of the Scrives of the ‘'ammany Society. Solomon 'f. Streeter is @ young man of about thirty-five, a native of Vermont, id, though com- paratively unknown in New York, is, nevertheless, own and endorsed by gentlemen of unques- tioned repute. His acquaintances are few, but they are of the right sort, agit is said he is sup- by William M, Evarts, ex-Judge Pierrepont, atenant Governor Robinson, Alderman and Commissioner Wheeler. He is a lawyer by Ang ra & republican in politics; has resided in lew York about two years. A canvass of the state of feeling made by the reporter after the adjournment was of such a na- ture as to leave very little doubt of the confirma- tion of the nominees, many of the Aldermen ex- ssing themselves as satisfied with the nomina- jons. SUICIDAL MANIA IN PATERSOS, ¥. J, Jobn Frederick Spaerli,a Swiss, about thirty- three years of age, livingat 97 Market street, Paterson, committed suicide yesterday mern- ing by shooting himself through the head with @ small revolver. The bullet went into one ear, and going clear through the brain, came to the surface on the opposite side, where it was extracted. Deceased was formerly @ manuiactarer of silk trimmings in Spruce street, Paterson, but about sixteen months ago he failed, owing parties in New York some ten thousand dollars. since that time he has done little or nothing, his wife supporting herself and child with “silk warping,” which she did at her home. Some time since he received a letter from some creditors in New York, to the effeos that if he did not settle up he would be arrested. Every time that he got drunk since he threatened to take his life, and on Wednesday night, about midnight, he again came home drunk, and he was prey still under the effects of liquor at five o'clock yes- ot, morning, when he committed the act, so that there is no doubt that financial aiMficulties and dissipation were the causes that led to the suicide, ‘There was no one in‘the room at the time.

Yesterday evening several midshipmen who had failed in their examinations and were to be dropped from the rolls of the Naval Academy made an assault upon Conyers, the colored cadet from South Carolina, who was also among the failures. They locked a boat house door on nim while he was bathing, and, when he attempted to get out, stoned him. His only injury was a smail scalp wound on the back of his head. O’Keele, of New York, Maun, Rowan and Lockett were the midshipmen concerned. | They have been put in close confinement, anda report made to the Secretary of the Navy.

Mellish, Congressman trom the Ninth district, in this city. The district comprises the Twentieth and Twenty-second wards, and the examination was confined to pupils of the public schools in those wards. As early as nine o’clock thirteen hopeful young lads presented themselves at the hall, where & board, conaisting uf Colonel Joel W. Mason, Thomas C. Acton, Henry D, Lapaugh and Joseph Cudlipp, were present to superintend the examination. Mr. Henry Kiddle, City Superintend- ent of Schools, took charge of all the arrangements, while Mr. Harrison, Assistant Superintendent oi Grammar Schools, conducted the examination. Dr William A.

It appears that both parties were intoxicated and quarrelied, when the husband struck his wife on the head with a hay- stick, The post-mortem cxamination of the showed the woman to have been of intemperate habits, The jury rendered the verdict :— “We find that the deceased, her death, on May 29, from hemorrhage and shock to her Rigg Pay by a blow from her hus- band, at 86 South Eighth street,on May 29, her system having been depleted by al 1”? cohol was thereupon committed to jail to onrait the action of the Grand dary. a SUICIDE IN HUDSON STREET.

The Inquest to Take Place at Half- past Ten To-Day. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL, How the Prisoner Bears Himself in the Tombs. The Case to Go Before the Grand Jury on Monday. ‘There were very few new developments in con- nection with the Walworth tragedy yesterday. The intense excitement that prevailed for the previous days had in a great measure abated, and, although the affair was considerably talked of, it was not the absorbing topte of conversation. Many rem- iniscences of the dead man are being brought to | light now that he is forever gone, and some stories | are told of good qualities which he possessed, which show that his nature was not entirely base. One of the effects of his tragic death has been to cause an extraordinary demand’ for his writings, par- ticularly those in which reference is supposed to have been made to his wife and his family troubles. The one moat called for is “Bev- | erly,” of which he made himself the hero. | In this work the hints thrown out, taken | in connection with the occurrences of the past few days, are so strong that there can be no doubt he | had his wife and his unhappy differences with her in his mind when he was writing. A strange story is told of his latest literary effort, ‘Married in Mask,” which is now in course of pubiication in the columns of the New York Weekly. It is said that in the cloaing chapters of the work he prophesies his own end and foreshadows that his “taking off” would be sudden and tragic. Inquiry at the office | of the Weekly proved that the story was in some measure true, and the circumstance is remarkable, showing, as it dovs, that he had | fears for his life, which were, unhappily, too well | grounded. Walworth was a man eminently fas- | tidious and prond of his handsome person; he was fond of exhibiting himself in the streets of our | Jarge cities. When his beat work—‘Warwick; or, | the Lost Nationalities of America’’—appeared it | created @ great sensation, and its anthor was fashionable places. “Warwick” is the ‘finest crea- tion of his brain, and displays his pectliar quali- ties in a marked degree. He had not what could be called a great mind, but he had - A REMARKABLY CLEAR AND BRILLIANT ONE, and ifhe had lived he would, doubtless, have at- | tained a considerable eminence in the ranks of | literature. “Warwick” was dedicated to Marius | Phillips, of the Home Journal, with the following sentiments :— His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles; His love sincere, his thoughts immaculat His tears pure messengers sent from his heart; hear? as fur from fraud as heaven from earth. Walworth, without ahundreth part of the genius of Byron, possessed in a marked degree many of the latter’s characteristics. Like the great poet, he Was haunted by a morbid egotism, and was fond of parading himself and his troubles in atmost every work he gave to the world. Like Byron, hé was unhappy in ms marriage relations, and, though he was himself the cause, this domestic in- felicity proved to be thé bake and curse of mis life. He had everything at the outset of his career calculated to make his after life prosperous and happy. He had a handsome competency, talent and genius, and a loving and beautiful wife, but he voluntarily chose to make his life and the | lives of those connected with him miserable, and | he has paid the penalty with hig fite. It has’ been | Lek on hee seemed tobe good authority, that | ir. Walworth was a spen: Fut bust Jt soos. that this statement was not ‘etitirely e. ‘The revenue i which. jg te rs he received irom his ; father's . estate small, and his literary | jaoors §=did not realize enough to make | wim rich. But whatever money he had he spent it upon himself, leaving his wile and children to shiitas best they could. Were it vot that Mrs. Walworth is awoman in @ thousand she could never have battled against adversity and poverty asshe did, and the sympathies of all true hearts will go out to her in this hour of dark affliction. :| The family consists of six children, of whom Frank | is the eldest. He had always borne a good charac- | ter, and did wnat he could to assist his mother in maintaining the family. A fatal sensitiveness led him into the commission of an awful crime, wholly inexcusable and unjustiflaote, no matter what the provocation had been, and however much people may feel for HIS UNFORTUNATE POSITION. Those who would do as he did will probably be taught a lesson by his example, which wilt show | that they live ina civil fe and a Christian land; that there are laws for the redress of griev- ances and wrongs amply sufficient for the protec- tion of public and private interests, and the traas- gressors of these laws must know that they can- not take the sword of justice into their | own hands without basally a@ fearful responsibility. Public opinion “has probaviy never been more mrongly excited than it is in reference to the sent case. It is universally conceded that the father nad inflicted great and | grievous wrongs upon his wife and family: but that he should be called to account and, murdered for his conduct by his own son is something so monstrous that the feeling of the community is inconcetvably shocked, used as'we are to scenes of horror. The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge,” sang the Hebrew prophet, in one of hts sublime fights, and the prophetical utterance is being verined ina striking manner in our own day and country. THE PRISONER IN THE TOMBS, Frank Walworth rose at an bet hour yesterday | and dressed himself, The morning papers were brought to him and he read them carefully. His | breakfast was brought to him from a restaurant and he made a hearty meal. He seems wholly un- | conscious of the enormity of the crime which he has committed, He talks Very little, and is a great | deal more reserved than when he was first taken to the mn. No one is admitted to see him with- out his consent, and by the advice of bis counsel he very properly refuses to talk about the murder or Po) of the circumstances connected with it. His | cell is one of historical celebrity, having been pre- | viously occupied by Bleakley, Who, like his suc- ceasor, murdered @ near Telative—his niece. The cell is plainly furnished, but it is to be made more comtortable in a day or two. It is understood that William A. Beach, ex-Judge Garvin and Charles O'Conor will be associated in the defence of the prisoner—a jormidable trio, who will do all that men can do to save him from the . Mrs. Walworth visited her son yesterday afternoon, and remained with him about an hour. What trans- red between them is not known, but the visit of | mother cheered the boy considerably, and he ‘was in better spirits during the remainder of the day. His counsel also cailed and had & consulta- tion with him. Barly in the morning he walked up and down the tier on which he is confined coolly joking a cigar. The case is to be rapidly brought to trial at the conclusion of THE CORONER'S INQUEST. It is expected that the inquest will terminate to- day, and if so the case will go to the Grand Jury on Movday. The District Attorney was absent from his office yesterday morning, but Assistant District nage ey sald no time would be lost im bringing the facts before the Grand Jury.

T. Walworth, trom woom irs, Walworth received a decree of divorce some two years since, has been in the habit of writing the most violent, threatening and out- ray letters to Mra.

These letters annoyed Mrs. Walworth beyond measure, and Frank, who has been most loyal and mother, bas, often as could, intercepted his father’s let! ind has had some correspondence with his father, toward whom ha entertained the utmost repugnance. At one time last Winter, M. T. Walworth was in town and young Walworth told his father that he must not come near the house. There {s no doubt that M.

The following is the editorial from the Saratogias : on the subject :— THE WALWORTH TRAGEDY. We give our readers and fellow citizens sad news) to-day. A family whose name is honored and rev spected like that of few others im our midst is sud- dently Leg Ae in deepest distress. Mansfield Tr Walworth fs slain by the hand of his som. We shrink from revealing the painful domestic history of which this terrible tragedy 1s the awful climax. Manstield Tracy worth was the son of Chancel~ lor Walworth. His wife was the daughter of Gene- ral Hardin, of the United States Army, Their union came to be unhappy through the dissipation, excesses and debaucheries of Mr. Watworth, and about two years Mrs. Walworth re-. ceived a decree of separation and the custody of the children, Siace then her husband has a sued her and his family with what is described ta US as the Most malignant hatred, and has threat ened the lives of his son and ether members of ther family. He was a man of considerabie talent, Hig, wife was a charming woman, and et Wenn tivated, and his six children—Frank Hardin bet the oldest—were more than ordinarily interes! ing. On this family falls this heavy sorrow. The entire community, Knowing the noble efforts made by Mrs. Walworth to keep her troubles in the background and to rear and educate her cnildren, will give her their most earnest sym- pathy in this hour of her deepest trouble. The boy who has thus wreaked bloody retribu~ tion on his father will, we trust, be able to show that he was not the aggressor. The despatches say that Mansfield T. Walworth went to bis son’s room, thus giving some indication that he, and not the son, acted on the offensive. We sincerely hopa the act was done in self-detence, or that at least it Was the result oi provocation serious enough to We await anxiously turther information. ANOTHER ATTENPTED PARRICIDE. frais pa Shocking Depeevitzwa Wotan Prompts Her Son to Poison His Father—Luetfer. Matches and Lead Filings the Materie als Employed. A shocking instance of depravity was brought to the Knowledge of the Brooklyn police yesterday, The case is one which involves a no less heinous offence than an attempt on the part of a boy of eleven years of age to poison hisfather. The instigator of the crime is Louisa Bangert, a German woman, forty-seven years of age.

D., has been separated from: his wife for the past few months, The partiest have two children—a girl of fifteen years, who ree sided with her mother, and Charles Baugert, who: lived with his father. Charles has, however, en- joyed the privilege of visiting his mother at her abode in Second street, between avenues A and B.. Some weeks ago Christian felt that he was nob quite as well as usual, and, getting no better, he began to suspect that he was being poisoned im some way or other, A day or two ago his suspt-. cions became aroused concerning his son’s, officiousness in preparing tea and beer for him. On watching affectionate youth he discovered him slyly dropping some thing into his coffee cup. The vessel was them carelully placed in front of “the old man,” aa “Charlie dear’ was wont to call his paternal pro- genitor, Charlie walked out, and Christian snortly aiter withdrew to a chemist’s and had the content of the cup analyzed. On the bottom was foun lead filings aud the heads of Luotfer matches. The young scoundrel was arrested upon complaint of Baugert senior. He was arraigned before Justice Semler, and confessed that he had been dosim, father’s beverages with lead filings and the of matohes ior several weeks past, and that had done so at the instigation of his mother. Yes: terday morning Mrs. B.ugert was arrested and committed to jail to await examination. THE HARLEM HOMICIDE. No Intentional Violence Used—Discharge of the Defendants.
