Belore we proceed further let us look into the past histories of the principals, CAVANAGH isa well butit fellow, but ugly featured, and is about thirty years ofage. He was born in Provi- dence, R. L, and is by trade a plasterer. His first appearance in the “magic ring’ was about three years ago, for $50 @ side, having for his opponent Kit Swash, a Pawtucket (R, 1.) boy, who got away with Cavanagh in about the twinkling of a star, through @ foul; his second appearance was in Richmond, Va., in 1872, on Belle Isle, where he encountered Sam Hyde, for $200 aside, and whipped him in such short order that an old gentleman present was so tickled as to present him with @ $50 greenback. : OF MADDEN there is but little known 1n pugilistic circles. Asa Street and rough-aud-tumble fighter we believe he ranks among the foremost. The men had been in training about two weeks— Cavanagh at 126th street and Madden in South Brooklyn, On Wednerday night, at eleven o'clock, the party who were “going to the fight” met at a “drum” on ‘West street, near Barclay street. Meanwhile the principals, accompanica by about twenty or thirty of the “fancy,’’ met at @ ‘‘lushing’”’ place at the upper Jersey ferry, At one o’clock they all passed over the river, and soon found themselves in Paterson, where they managed to WHEEDLE AN OLD COLORED MAN to give them passage on his empty coal boat on the Morris and Essex Canal to Littie Falls. Mountain View is about three miles westward of Little Falis, and the boys were obliged to engage Shanks’ mare to convey them to the battle ground, Bob Baker, of New Bedford, Mass., was selected as referee, and straightway he ordered the ring to be pitched, which was executed in about half an hour’s time. At ten minutes to 40’clock THE MEN STRIPPED and entered the ring. Cavanagh wore a pair of blue drawers, with red hose, and shoes trimmed with yellow, and the American flag adjusted about his watst. Madden wore white linen drawers, with blue stockings and plain slioes. His colors were a red handkerchief, A large penny was em- ployed to decide for the choice of corners, which was won by Madden, who selected the northeast corner, hen time was called both men, with their seconds, advanced to the centre, and, after “pawing” each otuer, they put tuemselves into position for THE FIGHT, ROUND 1.—Both men appeared majestic and, as the saying is, “as pretty as two pictures.” Cavanagh held his hands well upward, if to guard his handsome /?) irontis- piece, while Madden stood straight, with is arms extended and working at the elbow like eccentric rods. Both appeared as if they had trained too fine. They appeared afraid of each other, and sparred around to draw outeach other's oints, When one of thoke eccentric rods was put nto motion and feli rather forcibly op Cavanagh’e breast, who effected @ return, but was short, and received a tap on the nasal extremity for his temerity, which evidently ried him, for he broke ground and rushed at Madden, who met him with ‘a let-hander on the already damaged nasal ergan, drawing the ruby and sending him to grass.

Mes Am Exciting Ruan from New London to Greenport—The Triton First to An- chor—The Race at Cold Spring Harbor, GREENPORT, August 7, 1873. ‘The Atlantic Yacht Club squadron anchored last evening in New London harbor, where they were joined by the schooners Resolute, Foam and Sea Witch and the sloop Nimbus. Shortly after seven A. M. this morning the yachts began to make sail, preparatory to getting under way for Greenport, where the club will be entertained by Vice Commodore Monsell. At 7h. 17m. the first gun was fired from on board the flagship Eddie, and five minutes later @ second gun gave them the signal to weigh anchor, The schooners Sea Witch and Triton and the sloop Orion were the firstof. The Triton carfed her flying jib, and the rest wero under the lower sails,. [here was @ fresh south- westerly breeze, and the Orion had all she wanted as she shot past the fort, catching up to windward of the fleet. The Nimbus, Nellie G, and Edward followed after the Triton. The Agnes, Mystic and Foam did not start with the rest of the feet, as some of their party were still ashore. The Orion was going like a racehorse, laying down to her work as if she meant business. The Sea Witch did not seem te mina the breeze, standing up as sti? as a man-of-war, but. finding the Triton overhauling her fast, set her fying jib. Passing the Edgecomb House the Orion and Sea Witch were still leading, closely followed by the Triton. The Resolute lay at anchor with ner main- sail wet, and was sa!uted BY THE FLYING SQUADRON as they shot byon the road toGreenport. The Nellie G. was following close after the Nimbus, with the Edward bringing up the rear. Of the lighthouse the Triton set both gafftopsails, and, under the influence of this extra canvas, passed the Sea Witch and Orion. The Agnes got under Way about thirty minutes after the rest of the Meet and was soon dancing along in their wake. All the yachts were on the starboard tack and lying as close as they could, trying to weatner Little Gull Island, As they got off towards the Long Islind shore the breeze ap- pessoas gather strength, The Triton was now alfa mile to windward of the Sea Witch, which had @ smali staysail out, but finding that it was doing no good on th? wind she took it in. The Orion was creeping up windward of the Triton, and the schooner was going fastest Shrough the water. At sh. 46m. the Triton, finding she could not weather Littie Gull, made a stretch to the westward and ciossed the wake of the Orion, The latter was doing mighty good work and lugging her full mainsaii and jib in handsome style. Just then the weather became a trifle squally and the Triton took in her foretopsail, but before ten minutes had elapsed she shook it out again. On the next stretch, heading up for Plumb Island the Triton crossed the bows of the Orion, The latter then sent up her gaff topsail and stood well out to catch the last of the ebb. At 9:10 the Triton tacked again, and after making @ short stretch siood in ior Plumb Gut. The Sea Witch was about a mile dead to lee- ward, followed by the Eddie, Nimbus, Nellie G. and Agnes, The Orion was to leeward of the Triton, but as THE BREEZE LIGHTENED UP, she crawled up to windward of the achooner, and eating up from under her lee, just cleared her )ib- boom and came out on her weather bow, forging steadily ahead, Passing through Plum Gut the breeze was rather variable, but when fairly into Groennart Bay it came fresh and steady, making the whitecaps dance merrily on the surface of the Power now began to tell, and shortiy after the Orion took in her topsall the Triton crossed her bow and took the lead. en! had now all the wind they wanted, and the Orion could hardly carry her sail, forcing her captain to shake her up every now and then. THE TRITON WAS THE FIRST to let go her ancher, followed shortly afterwards by the Orion. The Sea Witch came in about an hour later. The time of arrival was as follows:— HM. 8. H, M. 8. Triton...... Ii 25 00 Soa Witeh. B 1) 06 Orion. a 84 80 Agnes... 12 43 00 The Eddie, Nimbus and Nellie U. were not timed, The Stella, Alert aud Kate started irom off the Edgecomb House, New London, at 5:30 A. M. and arrived at 10:45 A.M. The Stella was the first in, followed shortly afterwards by the Alert and Kate, The fleet remain here to-morrow and leave for Stonington, Conn. As I have seen no account of the race at Cold Spring Harbor, I would state that the Triton won the schooner prize, beating the Agnes, and the Alert won the sloop prize, beating the Orion, Nimbus, Nellie G. and Anna. Yachting Notes. ‘The first to enter the list in the coming race for the prize offered by Commodore Bennett to all vessels other than yachts is the New York pilot boat Widgeon, No. 10.

AQUATIC. a The Biglin-Brown Five-Mile Sculling Race—Articles of Agreement. ‘There 1s every probability that the long expected and greatly desired sculiers’ race between John A. Biglin, of New York, and George Brown, of Halifax, will certainly take place the last week of this month. in the Jatter named harbor, The telegraphic correspondence between these men has resulted in the undermentioned articles of agreement ak sent to Brown, and, as he had already sign fied his intention ef signing them upon reception, there is reason to suppose that the match is already consummated. This event will prove of great interest to the aquatic world, and, premising that both men will be well on the day of the race, it will be one of the best and most stubborniy contested events ever noted. Should Biglin succeed in beating his stal- wart opponent he will shortly thereafter proceed to Engiand to try his skill with the foremost men in that country, and, depend upon it, John will sive & good account of himself in all his engagements.

The arrivals either by train or boat were charac- terized by a Babel of vociferations on the part of rural hack drivers and owners of other vehicles, many of which, for antiquated stock and outlandish style, were simply indescribaple. On the dusty, up-hill road leading from the village to the camp meeting grounds the efforts of the natives to “turn an honest penny* were observable; on every side, The fences were ornamented with the Stara and Stripes waving lan- guidly over improv.sed tables, on which were spread various suspicious-looking retreshments, varied occasionally with a liberal display of unripe fratt, Each vender seemed fully alive to the fact that camp meeting week only comes once a year. On the road could also be seen every pos: sible description of conveyance, from the elegant bareuche to the ancient family cart of the humble farmer, who, with his wife and numerous family, had been traveling since midnight towards the Mecca of their hopes. Scores of both sexes were observed trudging patiently and even cheerfully through the BLINDING CLOUDS OF DUST and in the sweltering sunshine, that they might once again suppiicate the Throne of Grace in that venerable grove, so dear to the hearts of all Methodists in this section of the Rearagt ie The exercises commenced with a ‘ feast,” which called forth an abundance of fel us fervor and unmistakable enthusiasm.

In alluding to the origin of the camp meeting, he sald that the first out- door gathe! of the Methodists on that side of the Hudson River took place at Carmel, Putnam county, in 1804, The second camp Ee Pd held at Croton, in 1805, and was continued t al different times until 1831.

A Better Showing from the Examination of the Records—Tne Loss ‘With $100,000—Leslic Supposed To Be in Bel- gium. PHILADELPHIA, August 7, 1973. The excitement attending the discovery of frands in the office of the Recorder of Deeds is. gradually subsiding, and, as further details are made known reducing the amount out of which Leslie is supposed to have swindled the people, a better feeling has followed. ‘Thus far, after carefully examining the records, it has been ascertained that bis transactions will not Teach quite hundred thousand dollars, This ‘is. large enough, but as it will require weeks to bring to the surface the exact amount, there is no telling what the figures will be. The trouble has oc- casioned @ deep-seated feeling of uneasiness among property holders who now demand that in the future the records in the office be more closely guarded, in order to prevent similar dis- ‘aceful and dangerous transactions. Recorder alton manifests a laudable desire to attend to this matter, and now has drawn around about him 4 staff of assistants in whose integrity he has. not the least doubt. Many property owners who visited the Recorder's office this morning with fear and trembling went away with beaming countenances after searching and discovering that their properties had not suffered at the hands of Leslie. ey had in every case been doing busi- ness with him, and they now say that he is not as black as he is painted. Among the principal suf- ferers are several insurance companies, who ad- vanced Leslie large sums on properties vast n- cumbered, but which he very nicely “cleared” by writing out certificates to that effect and secu! the signature of the Recorder and ha his se: aiiixed.

Ex-Recorder Houseman has promptly and honorably acted in the matter, as he has notified those who have suf- fered through Leslie’s operations to make out their statements and he will indemnify them freely out of his own ket. He was not a city officer, as was generally the impression, but was a State officer, and gave bonds, AN UNFORTUNATE BALLOONATIO, PHILADELPHIA, August 7, 1873, Yesterday afternoon @ daring balloon voyager came near being drowned in the Delaware River. He started from Point Airy about seven o'clock, intending to take a little sail and return to the point of starting, but in this he miscalculated, upon reaching an attitude of 8,000 feet a cnrrent o' air struck his irail balion and he was swept with lightning-like rapidity towards the Delaware River. Becoming irightened, the man allowed his craft to approach too near the water, and, as a result, the huge concern came in proximity to Smith’s Island and ar jed along the river bank to Parrish street. ‘rhe was unusual as it was startlii was witnecsed by hundreds of people. Fi rit struck the water, and the granout was thrown out but, was prevented trom drowning by the men of aterryboat, who fished him out, and he re- turned home considerably the worse for the trip.
