.4 “THE ARCTIC RESCUE. ‘How the Ice King’s Dark Realm Is To Be Invaded. FITTING OUT THE TIGRESS. A Curious Ship and a Curious Cargo—What Forty Men Will Try to Eat Up North—How the Tigress Has Been Altered—Sledges for Arctic “Sleigh Rides”—Fifteen Foot Saws to Cut Ornamental Tces—A Little Ship Full of Big-Hearted Men. The little steamer Tigress, now being fitted out ‘at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the Arctic search in quest of the lost Polaris and the rescue of her ‘crew, presented an extraordinary spectacle of ‘bustle and business yesterday, She now lies at the Joot of the Long Wharf, and hold, deck and rigging alike swarmed with men all through the day. Ever since her arrival at the Navy Yard, twelve days ago, there has been no cessation of labor on the ‘vessel, The calkers and ship carpenters em- ‘ployed on her hull exteriorly while she was in the ‘dry dock worked from daylight until dark, not- withstanding the fact that the elght hour rule pre- ‘vails in all the government yards and shops. Of course, they were paid for over- ‘time, The machinists and carpenters who worked Mnside the Ship wrought in day and night gangs, and all through the darkness “the nate of prepa- ration, with clank of hammers closing rivets up,’’ ‘was heard. Evenon the Fourth of July, the one national holiday, the workmen were busy, and on Sunday last the vessel was redocked in order to Btopaleak. Two deckhouses have been put on her; she has been fitted with new topmasts and mew tresh wazer tanks, having a capacity of about three thousand gallons; her smokestack has been lengthened «ix feet, new firebars have been inserted tn the furnaces, anew bowsprit has been putin, all of her sails are new and she has been furnished with a new set of running rigging. Her bottom is not sheathed with copper, for the reason shat it would be A WASTE OF MONEY, for the ice would tear it off like wall paper. Her bows, for about twelve or filteen feet aft of the cut- ‘water, were originally armored with iron bands, and, of course, this protection remains. In the ‘house built on deck amidships will be provided ac- commodations for the surgeon’s, paymaster’s and Steward’s offices and for the storage of some few light articles. The aft deckhouse is intended for the use of the Captain and executive ofticer and ‘will be occupied as their cabin, sleeping apartment and chart room. It will be a coo! dormitory for morth latitude—eighty degrees. Directly beneath this house, between decks, are the quarters of the ‘other officers of the ship, a very small apart- ment, with bunks aud lockers ranged around the sides. No one of the officers will be able to stand erect in this cabin, end there will not be room even foratrunk. The tiothing and effects of each occupant must be Stowed away in a little closet or locker over his bunk, about two feet long, fifteen inches deep, ‘and, perhaps, eighteen inches high. This must be packed close. This cabin will be used as the mess room also. BENRATH TRE FLOOR Bre small holds, to be used for the Captain’s stores; @ small magazine of ammunition for frearms and the paymaster’s effects, There will be no arma- ment on board save small aris for hunting pur- poses, and, perhaps, a howitzer for signalling and Baluting. The Jorecastle will be used for the stow- age of sails, cordage and so forth, and the space between decks, forward and mizzen, will be he quarters for the crew, with stores of various inds tucked tuto available crannies. Steam coil pipes run ali around the interior of the vessel for heating purposes, to be euppiied from the boiler when under steam; but 4 number of stoves, with a supply of pipe, have been put on board for use in she event of the ship being frozen in or when the steam boilers are not in use. In the lower hold there are two hundred tons of coal, and all the re- mainder of the space in the hold and between decks not above accounted for will be filed “chock” with provisions and clothing. Tne prov- ender includes every variety oi canned meat and vegetables. Instead o: taking the ordinary ration bf beef, however, the Tigress will take out only about one-third or one-fourth of the usual supply which would be furnished to A VESSEL OF HER SIZE for aregular cruise. Tne balance will be made of pork, in excess of the ordinary allowance of such Méat, as itis said that pork 1s better food for a climate so extremely frigid. About one hundred and eighty bags of navy (hard) bread and 100 half barrels 01 flour will be comprised in the supplies with about a hundred haif barreis of pork an beef, thirty boxes of canned roast beef and twenty or twenty-five boxes of pemicap. A Vast amount Of onions, tomatoes, pickles, potatoes and other vegetable anti-scorbutics, will also be in the stores, ‘and it is calculated that she will have a two years’ supply tor about forty persons, Of course this 18 Dot inclusive of the supplies sent forward for her ase by the Juniata to Disco. The bulk of this lat ter Vessel’s Cargo 1s understood to be coal for the Tigress, Two large New Bedford whaleboats have been made for the rough work of the expedition, and a smaller and neater boat, which will doubtless serve as the “Captain's gig” on STATE OCCASIONS AT UPERNAVIK or Tessinsac in calling on the Danish authorities, About a dozen large saws of the “cross-cut” or “gang” pattern and three tripod derricks, shod ‘and spiked with iron, are ictuued in the extraor- dinary portion of the saip’s outiit. These saws will be used to cut the vessel clear of ice under certain circumstances. The derricks will be erected on the ice, and the Will be suspended from the apex oi tie tripods by a block and tackle. A lever or crank will be used to force the saw on the downward cut, and the blade will be drawn up- ward by the biock and pulley. ‘This would seem, however, to be a rather laborious and complicated Way of working things, a8 a single man may cut BixX-foot ic: rapidly, using @ saw With @ cross-plece handle, iu the ordinary uprigut fashion in which Jogs are sawn in pits or on trestles. A peculiar portion of the ship's cargo, however, and extremely suggestive of her mission and its possible extent, was th xiGH iE RUNNERS that were shipped lastevening. These runnera are made oj two and a hali-iuch spruce plank, and sre each about sixteen feet long, by abaut tweive inches deep, slope: or cut away at either end, 80 as to resemble rudely the runner of a = ry *rainequ siect, such as is used by the poorer class Of Canadisn habitans, These pomts a capped with pend iron, and the low or friction edge of the runuer, which comes in di- rect contact with the snow, is shod with a band of whalebone about hall or three-q) rs of an inch in thickness. This becomes very smooth alter a little use, and is much lighter than an iron shoeing would be. The edges Of the ruuners are pierced with numerous holes, The bed or bottom of the sled is composed of slate of tough wood about five feet in length, resemble barrel staves, aud curved so as to The ends of the slats are provided with two notches, and these ends will be tightly bound with thongs to the upper edges tne runners, the thongs the holes above are built after the most approved Esquimaux fasbion, and one of them will carry fifteen or twenty persons. In the event of their being called into requisition to search over land, or rather over ice, for the Polaris, each sledge would carry four or five persons and all the clothing and provisions they would need for a ten days’ journey. FIFTEEN TO TWENTY-FIVE DOGS are needed for cach sledge, according to the weight ‘or number of persons to be carried. ‘A set of spare spars and @ spare topmast and topgallantmast lie on the deck to meet emergent needs, ‘They may be used jor fuel or to build a raft before the ship gets back. ‘There will be no scientific apparatus on board the vessel, as her voyage will not be one of ex- ploration, but purely @ rescue search, Her full complement of officers and men will not exceed forty, and these have all been selected. As the vessel is 80 very small and every mouth will need a daily ration, there will be no ornamental people on board, kverybody must make himsell use- ful, and the captain, executive oficer and pay- master have dispensed with the usual assistance ofclerks. They will do their own writing, and there will nof be even @ captain’s servant on rd. beat Commander Greer remarked to @ Hrkatp re- p odngd on Wednesday, ‘There will be ork on board, and plenty of that. We shall have ho clerks whatever, and I shall not be likely to eed any. Lam going up there to find that vessel, tis a voyage in the interest of Bomacty only, and shall not bring back a lot of pickled 5 BOTTLED FLIES OR PRESSED FLOWBRS, wey, rely on it.

These nothing but | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY Tl, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. my way T shall note it property; but wnat f mean is that I amnot gomg to look jor a particle of that sortof thing,” In closing the conversation Commander Greer expressed the idea that he would-not be at all sur- ips to find the Polaris at Disco or Upernavik on his arrival there. This being the open season Cap- “tain Buddington would undoubtedly make a tre- mendous etfort to work bis vessel out, as he could accomplish no ible wit half a crew by remaining at Northumberiand [sland or by push- ing further northward. Under these circumstances it would only be common sense and obedience to the first law of nature to push southward, Com- mander Greer has no idea whatever that THR PEOPLE LEFT ON THE POLARIS have perished, Captain Tyson, the chief of the party rescued from the ice floe, expressed the same opinion toa HERALD reporter yesterday, and thougat the Po- laris people might possibly get down to Disco by the middie of August unaided, The Tigress had some oi her sails bent last even- ing, and it is “thought” by some of the officers sbout the Navy Yard that she will sail on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Other officers about the vessel think It will be impossible to get ber ready for “ea before Monday ni; ng oF he “morning.

ITEMS, The family of Hans, the Greenlander, will be taken back to Disco on board the Tigress, and the juimaa, will accompany the ship in her search to act as interpreter, &c. His amiable, blubber-fed spouse, Hannah, it is believed will re- main here to await tue return of her fur-clad, tut headed lege; and, if ears G temperature was forty degrees lower, and if the Grand Union Hotel folks would serve her with a bow! of melted candle grease and a walrus ear ateach meal, she might be induced to pass the season at that feariul Sum- mer resort. It may not be generally known, but it ts never- theless @ fact, that this Hannah and “her partner Joe” are the same Esquimaux who were exhibited about ten or twelve years ago in a museum in this city. Since that time they have been mostly en- gaged with Hall in his Arctic explorations, the little English they acquired im the ‘show” busi- ness making them very useful as interpreters. THE POLARIS SURVIVORS. PorrsMOUTH, N. H., July 10, 1873, The United States steamer Tallapoosa left here last evening for New York with the Esquimaux survivors from the Polaris on board. Secretary of the Navy Robeson accompanied them. “HOME AGAIN.” Return of the United Sta: Steam Sloop- of-War Brooklyn After a Cruise of Three Years in Europe—Health Good on Board—List of the Officers and a “Peanut Story.” At six o'clock yesterday morning the steam sloop-of-war Brooklyn, of twenty guns, commanded by Captain Bryson, passed the Sandy Hook Light atter a cruise in foreign waters which has lasted three years, and at nine o'clock the noble vessel came to anchor in the stream some distance from Castle Garden. On the 2éth of August, 1870, the Brooklyn, which was then commanded by Gap‘ain Guest (since promoted to the rank of vom- modore), having been placed in commis- sion, left Philadelphia on a cruise which lasted until yesterday morning. The Brooklyn visited Norfolk, Portsmouth, N. H., and on the 13th of November, 1870, she was moored in the Tagus, at Lisbon. She then successively visited Cadiz, back to Lisbon, where she remained four months, during the Winter of 1870-1871, and was at Tangier in April, 1871, thence to Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, up north to Isle of Wight, and in June, 1871, was at Deal, in England. Then came a pleasant cruise to Christiansand, Norway; Cronstadt; Stockholm, Carlscrona, Sweden; Copenhagen, back to Deal, England; Plymouth, and south again to Tangier, on the Ajrican coast; Villefranca, Palermo, Messina, Napies, Cannes, Hyeres and Toulon, Among the other places visited by her were Marseilles, Leghorn, Salines, Ferrol, Southampton, Cowes, Gravesend, Sheerness, Texel, Holland; Cartha- gens, Spain; Spezzia, where the Brooklyn lay in dry dock for repairs for four days, December 19-23, 1872, and Barcelona. The Brooklyn tewed the storeship Supply to Trieste with phosphorite for the Vienna Exhibition and went back to Naples. May 7, 1573, the Brooxlyn received orders for home, and June 2 took Rear Admiral Alden, who had been relieved by Admiral Case, on board. Her course was then for Gibraitar, Funchal, Madeira, and on June 14 she left the latter place for St. George's Island, Bermudas, and on yesterday morning early the Sandy Hook Light was signalled. There has been very little sickness on board of the Brooklyn during her long cruise, and the vessel is in a good condition, At Stockholm, Copenhagen, Cronstadt and at Southampton—at which place the Prince of Wales paid the Brooklyn a visit—the oflicers have been very courteously treated and have been the recipients of many Civilities. In the Summer ot 1872 the Brooklyn was foratime the flagship. Captain Bryson, who is much esteemed by officers and men, has been captain of the Brooklyn, and has been promoted. like his predecessor, to tne rank of commodore. In latitude 23 39, longitude 33 10, the Brooklyn, while on ‘her way home, was hailed by & strange-looking brig of “Turkish descent,” said brig be- ing loaded with peanuts from Sierra Feone, Africa, to Marseilles, thirty days out, Tbe Turk in command behaved in a strange manner, and a boat having put off trom the Srooklyn the Turk Stated that he wished to be reported and that his captain was dead, The worthy Turk made a great deal of fuss about the matter, but he dia not even offer a peanut to the boat's crew. The Brooklyn was launched in 1858, and has an armament of 8!x- teen nine inch Dahigren guns and two eleven inch Dahlgren guns on her main deck in battery, and two 100 pound Parrott guns on her spar deck. Rear Admiral James Alden, who commanded the Brooklyn when she passed the jorts at New Or- leans, came home as a passenger. The following list of officers of the Brooklyn is complete :— Rear Admirai—James Alden. Captain—Andrew Bryson. Lieutenant Commanders—Thomas L. Swann and William Whitehead. Lientenants—Charles H. Stockton, Louis Kings- ley, William G. Buck, Henry W. Lyon and J. V. B. Bleeker. Masters—Charles R. Brown and Newton E. Ma- son. knsign—Henry T. Monahan. Midshipmen—tlenry W. Schoefer, Alexander MeCracken, Walter S. Holliday, William M. Wood, George F. W. Holman, Thomas C. Spencer, Willlam Kemsen, Charles C. Vreeland, John S. Abbott, Tim- othy G. ©, Salter, William H. Van de Carr, Alvert J. Dabney and William T. Clason. Surgeon—Albert C. Gorgas. Past Assistant Surgeon—Jonn B. Ackley. Paymaster—Arthur Burtis, Kagineers—Chiet, J. Q, A. Ziegler; First Assist- aut, Robert L, Harris. Chaplain—George W. Dorraace. Boatswain—Wni. Long. Gunner—Jonn O. Ritter. Carpenter—George W. Conover, Adinival’s Clerk—John H. Waite. Paymaster's Clerk—Roswell G. Feltas, First Lieutenant Marines—Wm. 8. Muse. Passengers—Lieutenant Richard ©, Hooker, First Assistant Engineer John Van Hovenberg, First Lieutenant Marines Frank D. Webster. During the cruise many officers have been trans- ferred trom the Brooklyn to other vessels and some have remained in Europe, while a number have come home to be examined, THE ORANGE PARADE, Committees from the diiferent organizations in- tending to take part in the demonstration of the Twelfth of July have been calling upon the Police Commissioners for the past few days, and the route is now decided on. Itis to be the same as that of last year—from Lafayette place to Astor place, Broadway, Fourteenth street, Fourth avenue and Irving pince to Tnirty-iourth street, by Madison and Filth avenues, down to the Washington monu- ment, where the procession will disperse. Super- intendent Matsell has ordered twenty men from each of the twenty-five precincts to act as @ reserve force. The men of the Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twenty-ninth pre- cincts will line the streets while the procession ig passing through these districts, so that every- thing that can ve done ior the preservation of order has been effected. Superintendent Matsell does not anticipate any disturoance, but if any- thing of the kind should occor the leaders of the riot will receive @ warm reception. The Superin- tendent will himself go upon the ground if the danger is imminent, and if not he will be repre- sented by his lieutenant, inspector Walling. The front and rear of the procession will be guarded by a strong force of police, and the utmost vigilance will be kept up throughout the entire lime of march, DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM. Iowa Cry, lowa., July 10, 1873, Awind and rain storm occurred here at three o'clock P. M. yesterday, accompanied by hail, which devastated the trees, orchards and crops over a limited area as oppceaaly as a fire would have But four farms—those of Messrs. flinman, Hedges, Crawford and Singleton—were 80 visited. The storm was remarkable for the completeness of its destructive effect and the narrowness of its Tapge. MONMOUTH PARK. Fourth Day of the First Summer Meeting. Scenes on Boat, Car, Stand and Track. THREE INTERESTING RACES. King Amadeus the Winner of the July Stakes; Hubbard, of the Four-Mile Heat, and Coffee’s Lightning Colt, of the Purse for Beaten Horses. The trip to the race course at Monmouth Park will ever be one of the greatest attractions to those who, while admitting that there is beauty in horseflesh, have soul space enough left to admire other and greater works of nature. ‘The French object to eating partridge all the time, and perhaps the average man or woman would loge interest in horse racing if there was nothing in it but the horse, or, perchance, the mare. To stand on the quarter deck, if there is such @ thing, of the Jesse Hoyt, which wrongiully ran down to Sandy Hook yesterday morning instead of the Plymouth Rock, and throw back the lappels of one’s coat and TALK HORSE WITH THE VETERANS of the turf is a treat in its way. In fact, it gen- erally includes several treats. Tobe reminded of the plunging steeds of Neptune when off Fort Lafayette’s ‘fire-branded, ruined walis,” by hear- ing the musical voice of the pool seller mingle with the rumble of the engine, his arm keeping time with the walking beam, is charming in small doses, In this connection it should be noted that all pool sellers are not named Underwood, and that the one in question is @ Bostonian, named Baker— Tom Baker, He wears @ gray mustache, which has, naturally, seen younger days. He will take ag high a bia on the wrong horse as the best of them, To creep out of range of the poolman’s voice and dodge the men who talk horse and look wistfully out upon the fair scene of sea and land that girdles the horizon is a pleasure that ONLY THE GUILELESS OAN ENJOY in all its serenity of sunshine, You may study the race-going humanity, and then believe firmly in the diversity of human being to which Providence has designed to give the sembiance of man. There is a Japanese student ina plug hat, who seems as placid as a fly in amber, and you wonder how he got there. A man who grunts as though he were a hog and wants to be paid for his swinish imitation 1s a man whose Picture should be drawn with a hog pen. For my part, his trough would be the trough of the sea, Just notice the groups of fashionable people seated aft on the upper deck, with their mingling of sweetness and loudness and sense and inanity. They are IN EVERY MOOD AND TENSE. There ts the girl of the epoch, emphatically in the present tense, chaperoned by her maiden aunt, who is passée, and talking to the young exquisive, who is, or thinks he is, plus que parfait, There is the imperative mooded papa. The indicative mooded uncle, who “sailed these waters, sir, before you were born,” points out everything to everybody. Fancy would fol- low this further, but it may be dropped with a brief study of the fracinating young widow, who 1s Yaiking® toad “fushing ‘Youngman of inqiisitive | mood, evidently with AN EYE TO HER “SECOND FUTURE." When the pier at Sandy Hook is reached you may struggle into your place on the cars without much trouble. If you are last out of the steamer you may have to walk past a ‘quartet of a mitle of crowded cars before you can find a vacancy. This is worth trying, only every one should not try it at once, for that would spoil the effect. ‘There is something really cheering in the way that people will pop their heads out of the windows of eaoli carriage and tell you, “We are all fuli.”” The conductor, if he is around, will tell you encourag- ingly that THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM ATIEAD. One tall, self-reliant lady, who was the last “man’’ yesterday, said she could walk to Long Branch, so buoyed up was she by the encouraging assurances that she would find a seat before she reached the grand stand, When the train started there seemed very little left of Sandy Hook. The effect on the man in the signal station must have resembled that which THE BIRD OF FREEDOM WOULD EXPERIENCR if the Rocky Mountains were to commence rolling train hke towards Patagonia. On the veyage to Monmouth Park the pig-imitation man came fioaen the cars trying to seil whips. Would that there had been one in every honest and dishonest hand on board to whip the rascal in a bathing suit into the seal He would think that the entire legion of devils possessed him if only one irritated HRRALD man had his whipping will with him. Once on the race grounds THE KFFECT OF THAT TRAINLOAD was visible. It peopled the grand stand, it sent an army through the quarter stretch, it supplied a crowd to the pool seller (Underwood this time) and fools to buy his pools, it gave an immense queue to the Paris mutual pools, In fact it seemed that uf the train stopped anywhere else its human cargo could organize a race course atonce, A track and iron horses would be always on hand, and those who had been unable to find seats would rep- resent the grand stand. THE FOURTH DAY OF THE MEETING soon in full blast at Monmouth Park. t quarter mile dash was a pretty race, and the Felmont stable showed Amadeus first and Scratch second, The second horse won his position by nose or @ head or a hair, so that the stable cannot fear the reproach of winning by aScratch, The great four-mile heat race had been looked forward to with an intensity 0: expectation for some weeks past. So much for what iancy paints, Yesterday there were three starters—Bessie Lee, Wheatley and Hubbard. The following expresses’ somewhat the amount of interest exuibited and the relative places of the animals :— Jimmy Roe, upon Hubbard, At th” winning post blu To find himselt sadly aloy For when he got there The rest were nowhere, And so everybody had known. Then came the third race, Ample time wasgiven to lave all the pools possible sold. The reason of this is obvious, even to the uninitiated, It is 80 that the people may win as mucii as they can carry home. The race was FOR BEATS IN THR WAY OF HORSES, wi It produced @ melancholy joreboding in my breast, as though all tne beaten horses, deteated aspirations, blasted hopes, withered dreams, dis- appo nted candidates tor police justice and Presi- dent since the world began were about to enter the arena and run 4 scrub race. It was a prettier nace than that would have been, but not half so inter esting, The favorite did not win, though many people think she ought to have done so, Under the circumstances it was evident sie couldn't, Many pegals wagged thelr heads and said, thereb; angs atale. Coffee won the ‘pot’? how, and Nevada 1¢ was remarked, in the dark way that turimen ramor, only had the spout People who waited tor the last fortably in New York at six o'clock, THE RACING, ——+- ‘ace were com- The racing at Monmouth Park yesterday was not as geod as on the previous day of the meeting, the great featnre—the four mile heat race—being little above @ walk over, The track was in capital con- dition and the weather delicious, Three events were on the card, the first being the July Stakes, @ dash of three-quarters of a mile, for two-year- olds; the Grand Sweepstakes, for all ages, four mile heats, and the third a purse for beaten horses, with the usual allowances, a dash of a mile and hak. For the July Stakes there were originally twenty- five entries, but when the bell called for those who intended starting to come to the post seven only responded, These were A. Kelmont’s imported chestnut colt King Amadeus, by King of Trumps, dam Amethyst, and the same gentieman’s bay colt Scratch, by Kentucky, dam imported Fluke; D. J. Crouse’s bay colt Culpepper, by Revolver, dam Gentle Annie; P, Lorillard’s imported brown colt Saxon, by Beadsman. dam Girasol; John F. Cham- berlin’s bay colt Visigoth, by Asteroid, dam Van- dalia; H. P. McGrath’s vay colt Aaron Pennington, by Tipperary, dam Lucy Powler, and A, B. Lewis & Co.'s bay filly Vandalite, by Vandal, dam Vesper Light, Belmont’s entries were the favorives in the betting, Mr. Loriliard’s Saxon being second choice. Mr. Belmont’s team finished first and second, Mr. Crouse’s colt Qulpanper third, The latter will make his mark should he escape accident and sick- ness during the coming year, He is at the present time @ racehorse. Culpepper was last in getting away, and continued so for half a mile. It may be that he cannot beat King Amadeus or Scratch, but it will take @ frst class racehorse to beat him next year beyond doubt, ‘The second race—the four mile heats- had three starters. Ten good horses were entered for the stake, Soar, Ta Tubman, Hubbard, Preak- ness, Mary Clark, Helmboid, Wheatley, True Blue, Susan Ann, Annie bush and Bessie Of the above named horses only three the the majority of the others having broken down since the entries were made. The horses that started in the race were McDaniel & Co.’s chestnut colt Hubbard, by Planet, dam Minole Mansfield, four years old; John F. Chamberlin’s chestnut coit heatler, by War Dauce, dam by Glencoe, and Rice & McCorrrick’s bay filly Bessie Lee, by Hunter’s Lexington, dam by Chorister, Hubbard was @ great favorite. He won an easy race, distancing both his competitors the first beat. The third race was fora purse for beaten horses of all ages, with allowances for the number of times they had been beaten during the meeting. There were four entries for this event, comprising John Coftee’s gray colt by Ligntning, dam Jessamine ears Ol Lee. Porter, three y A Ibs.; Fred, A, ‘atson’s bay colt Valle; rook, by Jerome dvar, dam, Minnie finor, hree years old, 85 Jie. R. Walden’s chestnut LA mare Minnie W., by Planet, dam Edina, three years old, 82 1bs., and A. O, Franklin’s bay filly Mavads, by Lexington, dam Lightsome, four years old, 1 lbs, The latter was the favorite at odds over the field, but she was badly beaten, and it ts the gen- eral opinion of her backers t she was ‘pre. pared” to lose. Mr. Coffee’s Lightning colt won a good race, Valley Brook second, the favorite a “bad last. The following are the details of the day’s doings :— The First Race. The July Stakes, value $500, added toa sweep- stakes of $50 each, play or pay, for two-year-olds; the winner of the Hopeful stakes to carry 8 Ibs. extra, the second to receive $100 and the taba borne $50, out of the stakes, Three-quarters of & mile, A.

Hubbard was making a great gap between himself and the others, and it was plainly understood before the horses passed the stand that Hubbard was going to make a short race of it by distancing the other two. He was eighty yards ahead as he passed the stand at the end of the third mile, the time of the three miles being 5:40. Hubbard galloped away turther from his followers on the upper turn, and ran home @ winner of the race, the others being more than dia- tanced. Wheatley was a long way in front of Bessie Lee at the finish. The time of the four miles Was 7:375;, Which under any circumstances is very good time, Third Race.

Valley Brook was first away, Minnie W. second, Coffee’s colt third, Nevada fourtn. The horses ran around the lower turn very fast, Nevada and Min- nie W. being pulled double.

Coffee's colt did not stop running, and, to the sur- rise of the backers of the favorites ie showed his gray head in front at the half-mile pole, Nevada second, half a length ahead of Minnie W., who was about the same distance in front of Valley Brook. Coffee's colt had ail the others whipped before he reached the three-quarter pole, and coming up the homestretch tt was merely a hand gallop for him to win it. He ran home a winner by three lengths, Valley Brook second, one length abead of Minnie W., the latter being ten lengths in front of the favorite, Time of the dash, 2:43%.

THE COURSE LAID OFF Street Scenes and Aquatic Science—Enild of the Boats and Styles of Rowing—Coulter’s Cha’ lenge to the Winners—The Bennett Cup Entries—The Ward-Biglin Race, SPRINGFIELD, July 10, 1873, More and more lively grows the scene daily on the river opposite this city as the time for the re- gatta festivities of next week draws near, end the excitement produced among the denizens of this inland town, or half-way station between New York and the “Hub,” is immense, ‘to the store- keepers and newspapers it is a Godsend; the former for the frst time, I should judge, since they set up in business, have dared, in anticipa- tion of the coming crowds, to put in a fresn stock of goods, adding, by way of seasoning, a “‘iresh bit to the pine,” while Springfleld journalism for once is able, by dint of much labor, to fill its imitative, diminative blanket sheets without recourse to in- numerable personal puffs, column directories, mer- chandise receipts and dead advertisements, ‘The ball will open on Monday, if there isn’t some slip up in the arrangements, with a grand ball tour. nament between the freshmen nines of Harvard, Brown, Williams and Dartmouth. Bowdoin and Amherst were to be represented; but the former backed out, and the elass oi the latter became dis- gusted at the poor preparations of their represen- tatives and concluded to keep them athome. In the midst of the ball tournament, and two days before the grand college regatta, comes THR WARD-BIGLIN RACE, which, although little mention has been made of it heretofore, is really attracting almost as much at- tention among boatmen generally, and more prob- ably among the professional oarsmen and the sporting fraternity, tham, the college con- tests. Already a large number of sporting gentlemen have arrived in town, and may be seen daily sauntering along the river bank in quiet and mysterious confab with the two rival contestants or their friends, endeavoring to learn the prospects and probabilities of a square race and the relative merits and chances of the two oarsmen, and otherwise putting up ‘points’! Preparatory to placing their surplus cash and chance credit where it will do the most good, BETTING. Thus far there has been but little betting on this Tace, partly because of the big odds wanted by Ward’s backers and partly because of the degree of uncertainty which still seems to pervade the minds of the betting fraternity respecting the com- parative chances of the two men. I have heard of some bets being made with the odds in favor of Biglin as high as 3 to 1, but no such odds exist between the men or theirchances, From a careful observation of the men, their physical condition and practice, should deem 10 to 8, or 10 to7, in favor of Biglin all that the law of chances indicates as the proper difference, if any there is, existing between the rival scallers, TRAINING, Both men have been in training now for a nuni> ber of weeks, Biglin commencing the 1st of May, when he went to Hanover, N. H., to take the Dart. mouth College crew in hand, and Ellis Ward be- ginning soon after at Amherst, where he com- ¢menced a like service for the Amherst men. Both men 4fe in better condition than when they rowed their match last Fall, but Biglin has a slight advan- in this respect. Ward, who is naturany ambitious, @ trifle nervous and rather too hard & werker, presents too fine an appearance for one calculating to do the last as well as the first mile in @ five-mile race, and is evidently somewhas over trained, Biglin, on the contrary, who has a less oxcitable temperament and a constitution like iron, has been holding himself well in reserve, and is now im prime condition. If necessary he will make fully a8 good time the last mile as the first, and do it with as little effort. Both men have done their own training and weigh respectively—Biglin about one hundred and sixty pounds, and Ward eight or ten pounds less. While in their training, amount of exercise, &c., they pursue a yery similar course, In THEIR STYLE OF ROWING there is @ marked difference. Both use the sliding seat, and believe thoroughly in tts Lie noid over the old stationary seat, but their method of using it 1s different. igiin, in s/iding, opens his knees and inclines his body forward semewhat between thom when reaching for the first part of the stroke, keeping at the same time his tocs apart, and heels together on the stretcher; Ward, on the other hand, keeps both toes and heels together, and slides with his knees likewise pressed close to cach other, keeping his body erect and never inclining it forward beyond the perpendieular. Bigiin feathers iow, close to the water's edge; Ward hign in the air, aiter the style of the late Waiter Brown. Bigiin gets his oars in shi at the beginning, with an excellent catch upon the water; while Ward alides back certainly three inches before the blades of his oars are covered, thereby losing the catch and suffering mach loss of power at the beginning. Biglin pulls steadit ed the water from the beginning to the end, while Wards stroke is better described as a dash Into the water and out again. Ward’s finish, hewever, is much superior to Biglin’s, bis oars leaving the water clean and with- out the least hindrance, while in the case of his opponent they come out hard and often with con- siderable splash. Biglin’s stroke is the longer and Ward’s the quicker of the two. Both pull strong and send the t everfly through the water. THR BOATS THEY WILL USS are perfect beaaties and the finest specimens of their respective builders’ workmansnip that I have ever seen. That used by Bigia. was built, of course, by Elliott, of Greenpoint, and 1s 31 feet long by 11 inches wide, and weighs, with the out- Triggers, about 32 pounds, It was made heavier than usual at John’s request, he preferring a heavy and stiff boat to a light and limber one. His oars were made by Donaghue, of Newburg, and are ten feet long. Ward will row in ao Fearon shell, which arrived yesterday, the builder prcettide nek on with it, It is 30 feet iong, 10 inches wide an weighs but 27 pounds, including the outriggers, It is not so sti as bigiin’s, but, it is claimed, is jad as good for one race, with the advantage of eing considerably lighter than it would be if made stouter. A good story is told in this connection at boat- builder Elifott’s expense. Ward was desirous, of course. of having the best boat possible, and rather preferred an Elliott model; but knowin; that Bigiin was a favorite with Elliott and would robably have one of that noted builder's est craft, he was at first at a@lossto know how to obtain one, Finally a plan was hit upon, and through Donaghue, the oarmaker, two boats, the best that money could buy, were ordered osten- sibly for two Newburg Soares tnends of Donagiue. They were built and rerwarded as ordered, when of course, Ellis appeared and picked out the best one for his own use, and has practised in it ever since. It did not quite suit, hewever, and another was ordered of fearon, the Yonkers builder, and will probably be the one used inthe race. It is rumored that the wary Biglin discovered the joke that was being played on Elliott and posted him up, and hence the reason for the boat which Ellis received not giving periect satisfaction. WHAT JOSH THINKS, Both men were out last night, Ellis for the first and John for the third time, in their new boats. Walkiug along down the shore about six o’clock, I happened upon the veteran Josh Ward, squatted in the sand close to the water's edge, and just b low the quarters of the Columbia crew, and watch- ing Closely the movements of his brother Ellis as he rowed past—now up; then down. Hank also stood near by, watching with equal brotherly interest the youngest member of the family, but with more ol the L-guess-its-all ht sort of look, and leaving to Josh, as by iorce of habit, all the duty of crit- icism. A shade of keen anxiety was apparent in Josh’s countenance, as, with head upon one side as usual, he shot out a criticising glance irom the northeast corner oi the under eye. ‘The boy could get away with you now, Josh,” we remarked, “Yes,” said the veteran, ‘cave; but he couldn’t i I was his age.’ “an't Bla pone rather vhin?” 1 then remarked; “seems tome he Is a little overtrained.” “He's too ambitious,” repited Josh, “and works too hard. I wish he had ten pounds of my flesh. He'll make John work, though, to win this race, now mark,’ Evidently Josh tears the well known endurance of Biglin will prove too much for Ellis’ light weight in the last mile. THE COURSE was laid off yesterday and starts at the same place that has been decided upon for the college races, which is ata point just 078 feet lower down than the starting point last year. This brings the turn- ing stakes (the race being two miles aud one-valf and repeat, with separate turning stake for each man) just below the point of the finish last year. It 18 & veriectly straight course, with plenty of water, and a fine view irom start to finish can be obtained at several points along the shore, A FAIR, SQUARE RACE. Unlike most professional races, which are so often sold to the highest bidder before the race begins there is little doubt but that Ward and Biglin will both row squarely upon their merits and go in to win, it ia for the ren gh of the country, which both are very ua to be avle w say mey have held, whfle the stake itself, $1,000 aside, is sufiicient pecuniary inducement, There seems to exist besides a purely personal, though apparently friendly, rivairy between them, to beat each other, which dees not exist between other professional oarsmen. COULTER TO CHALLENGE THE WINNER. Harry Coulter, who is here coaching the Cornell crew and who claims to be champion by virtue of his victory over Walter Brown, at Pittsburg, wom by a feul, announces that he shall, while asserting his claim, still, for the sake of settling the question, challenge the winner for the Sat? jopship and & wager, probably $1,000 a side. The challenge, if made, will undoubtedly be accepted and the race come off some time in August at Pitcsburg. 16 cannot well take place here as Couiter leaves for Pittsburg the nis t of the Oe grin to make his final reparation for his race with Biliy Scharff, which wkes place at the last named pie on the 2d of August, and upon which a good deal of interest ia centring, Schartfis eonsidered by some the com- tug oarsman of the country, while Coulter is no- body's fool, ana in the opinion of Josh Ward is “the most dangerous man in the country in @ boat,” Brown, of Haliiax, has also signified a de- sire to make @'match with the victor, whichever , he shall be, and the prospect is that several excit- ing and interesting matches will result trom the Ward-Biglin contest of next Wednesday, THR BENNETT CUP. Another contestant for the Bennett Cup has ap peared in the person of Mr, E. M. Phillips, the sub- stitute of the Cornell crew. Mr. Phillips, a short, stocky looking fellow, with clear blue eyes and & determined look about the mouth which indicates pions of grit and endurance, He isa member of he class of 76, 18 twenty-two years old, weighs 142 pounds and stands about five feet six inches. He ran in the class races at College this Spring, and, thongh suifering from a lame ankle, was but two and a half feet behind the winner of the 100 yards race. He training under Coulter, and took his first two-mile stretch on the road near their quarters this morning, maki! very good time, ‘Ihe talk among the crews is strong in favor of having the running match come off on Tuesday, and among those who will probably enter if such a change is made are Morse and Goodwin, of the Harvards, and Nash, of the Wes- leyan, while @ number of others will enter if the tramers will let them. .A very general desire is also expressed that this new ieature may be kept up next year, and the assurance given that if such be the case @large number will be desirous of entering, THE SEASON AT THE BRANCH. The Summer Capital in Full Bloom— The Drives and the Bathing=—Cham- Pion Swimmers—The Presidential Equipage. LONG BRANOG, July 10, 1873. Long Branch ia at the very height of the season. The races and the Summer heats have brought prosperity directly to the doors of the Summer capital, Every hotel is full and the club house is brilliant with the rattle of chips every eventng. The sea is full of bathers and the surf breaks in an- usually strong. The drive is gay with handsome equipages and the evenings at the hotels are re- splendent with the dancers and the promenaders. THR BATHING 1s sald to be unusually good and a rivalry as to the swimming championship of the Branch Ia threatened, At present Samuel K. Spencer, ot the Clarendon Hotel, is admitted to be the best swimmer there. He weighs about two hun- dread and forty pounds, and is, consequently, big enough to battle very effectively with the waves. His admirers call him the “merman.’’ A young lady bather at the Ocean Hotel excites great admiration by her feats of div ing, and 1s universally admitted to be the best lady swimmer at the Branch. She dives and floats ag easily in the breaking surf as a feather in air. Her bathing suit is a gray flannel, with o broad straw hat vied under her chin. It was impossible to dis- cover her name, the gossips about the hotel deciar- ing that ne themselves did not know, and that it was not in the wisdoi# Of man to recognize in ordt- nary dress a lady whom they were called to notice only in bathing costume. 1. JHE EVFECT OF A BATHING COSTUME iS on thé Appearance is, indeed, a thing to wonder ats ‘The most beautiful pelle of the ballroom might find her admirers flying from her on venturing to ag- gravate their feelings by donning the clumsy suitof 8 bather; and the lithe creature whom you see with. flowing hair, bare feet and slender form in the damp embraces of a bathing suit is beyond recognition in the stylish being who emerges irom the bath house, with her hair “done up,” her polonaise enveloping an ample shape, enwrapped besides in those inscrutable mysteries of dress for pede the sea alone has no jear and feels no sym- pathy. The races have bereft the Branch of all life during the early afternoon hours, when the spors is on, but about five o'clock Ocean avenue awakes: from its sleep in the sun and puts on an appear- ance as BRILLIANT AND AS GAY as the great diamond sash of the Shah of Persig The bathing is over and the piazzas are thronged With those who want to see the great realistic panorama vf iiie at the Branch. Carriages of all descriptions dash and whirl up and down the Toad with merry loads, and equestrians and a few equestrienses gallop by. In the train of carriages nearly every aiterncon the President is to be seen. Almost invariably some of his family are with Lim— sometimes all of them; and this is the equipage in which our democratic Chief Magistrate takes his quiet ride on Long Branch beach:—A high-backed English carryall holds the distinguishea party. The President and his guest occupy the rear seat usually, and while they loll at ease a cigar soothes: and comforts. Four sturdy bays, with their silver- mounted harness blazing in the sun, prance and caracole beneath the management of the excel- lent driver, who holds the white reins and who sits erect as a black pine on the box— @ colored man in a drab-colored livery, with a pompon in hig hat and buttons all over him. The “tiger? in similar livery and to boots sits placidly by the side of his superior, wit! his arms folded and his “eye skinned.” In this turnout our democratic President enjoys his daily rides at the Branch, and in one no better the first Washington made the tour of New England in '89, when he was President and thought a visit among the people might strengthen the ties of union. When your correspondent reached the plazza ofS the Presidential cottage to-day old Mr. Dent, who is unable to move about very readily, was sittmg alone on the porch, “Do you want to see THE GENERAL?” said he; “sit down, he may be in.'? “Thank you.” The polite solored servant answered the bell, and to the question if the President was in replied, “No, sit. The General went out a few moments ago. The old title which he wore in the army seems to stick to the hero. He probably prefers it to the More deferential title of President, and, like the great Lincoln, feels a strong desire at times to throw over “Mr. President” and be “Abe” again. On the present oecasion the General was taking @ constitutional walk, or visiting Babcock possibly; at any rate he was not visible, after a wait of some tume, at Mr. Dent’s urgent invitation. The friends of the President during the present week are usu- ally at the races, rom which he is debarred, not 8 much by asense of any etiquette attaching to his high office as by reason of his season of mourning. Much of @ horseman as he ts the deprivation ie doubtless a sore one, but he bears it very equably, NAVAL INTELLIGENOE, Arrival of the United States Steames Congress at Southampton.
