BARATOGA RACES. fourth Day of the Sec- ond Meeting. a Cloudy Day, but a Large Crowd Present. pak FAVORITES BEATEN. ‘ SaRatoaa, August 12, 1873, Notwithstanding the threatening character of e Weather to-day there was quite a large attend- ce wt the races. It had rained all night heavily, nd the roads leading to the course were by no leaps in &@ good condition for fashionable turn- ute to display themselves to advantage. All the renoon the sky was lowering and overcast, and asionally a slight shower fell, much to the dis- mfort of the Jadies, who, strange to say, despite ie mud and the outlook generally, turned out in siderable force. The trains the evening revious, from New York especially, brought immense number of visitors to the various jotels, The new-comers, that is those who iad not been here at any of the races this season, rmed by far the largest portion of the spectators, though, of course, the regular habitués who have en here all the season were on hand as usual, ie stages and busses and carriages, in conse- juence, did a good business, and ' ‘ THE SCENES ON THE ROAD ere a8 enlivening as though the day was clear nd the sun shining brightly. It wasreally amus- gz to see how some of the ladies got themselves ip for the occasion to escape the mud hat «flew from the carriage wheels and @ rain that everybody momentarily ex- ected to come down in torrents. 1 noticed veral wrapped from head to foot, even to the ex- ent of wearing the hood on light rubber cloaks. thers had the fashionab!e biue cloak, water-proof, nd the inevitable umbrella hung, sword-like, at he side, If anybody here ever had any doubtas whether the lady visitors like to go to the races, Bt was certainly dispelled to-day by the crush and Yush and hubbub that prevailed among the dear eatures while the preparations were being made t the hotels for < THE START TO THE COURSE, , 1 heard more than one careiul mamma, who had cee an age when racing has lost all the attrac- ion the sport might once have had for her, endeay- pring to dissuade the “girls” from going, “But pa is going!’ exclaimed one, “and he is not Suraia of getting wet. Why should I be?’ This, as A rejoinder from a pretty lass of sixteen, who was po completely mufiled up in water-proof coverings ShatI believe even her papa would not have known Sir had he met herby chance on the grand stand. Wne desire to go tothe course to-day, however, Was by no means confined to the ‘girls, for pri- Yate carriages with all the family, from mamma fon to the nurse, with the Jatest addition to the jousehold, turned out by the score. The grand jtand was crowded in every part long before the Brst race commenced, and the open field way to She left of the quarter stretch was literally BLACK WITH CARRIAGES, Peacr per being pee turnouts, The quarter tretch, foe, was Well diied, and the pool éellers aid Jonna business, although the crowd that swayed a fro in the general effort to get near the pulpit” where the “Doctor” was ensconsed and esticulating might a Ohm clinctier, to his knock- jown horse arguliients, had at times resort to heir umbrellas owing to the light showers, or ther cloud sprinktings, that fell Pecans for ie rain at no time feli so heavily as to be entitled the dignity of a downright shower, ‘There was nsiderable excitement among THE BETTING FRATERNITY m the first and sécond races, and thousands of jollars were wagered upon Crockford, as first hoice, In the firat race. The result of this race, ud that of the second and the third, too, for mother time during the mecting cast a gloom wer the knowing ones. Indeed the “skilled ent” were not the only ones who were badly ken in and sadly done for, as the “outsiders” vm New’ York went in strongly on the javorites, in the first and second races came out shorn { not only the profits they had fondly dreamed of king in, but of a great deal of the capital they had to base their hopes upon when they first ine On the course. Tien, like wise men, they ut that little left upon the favorite in the third to get even, if it were oniy to “get their money back,” you know, which they had thrown way On the first two races, . But, alas for THE UNCERTAINTY OF HUMAN EVENTS nerally and horse flesh particularly! that little ent wto the pools never to come back again. ‘ben Revenge came in ahead in the hurdle race, hich closed the day’s sport, there marched down mui of the grand stand and out from the quarter tretch a procession of men as sad looking as ever tteuded @ funeral. There was no rush, no pell- yell scatter among the sad ones to get the first ing to the village; each one moodily wajked «i made no hurry about it, and when these unate losers were, as they often were in going ut, bustied about by the jolly groups of youngsters 0 had ‘ GONE IT BLIND the is on the “iow” horses they deigned not ven bridle up nor ask the reason why they wadn’t the heart to talk to any one.

AT ANCF.OR OFF GLEN COVE. Brilliant Reception at the Pavilion on Monday. AN EARLY START FOR NEW LONDON. eine Scenes and Incidents of the Race. —— BESTING FOR THE NIGHT AT. MORRIS COVE. Morkis Cove, August 12, 1873. The Pavilion at Glen Vove has the reputation of being a Grst class house, and to all intents and purposes the proprietor has done everything in his power to sustain the good name he has so justly earned, Livingin a first class house may be the acme of Jenkins’ happiness, but I confess I have a Weakness for something more stirring and active than the ordinary existence of watering-place life, and therefore looked forward to the ad- vent of the New York Yacht Club with the most pleasurable antictpations. Yesterday the weather was charming, with a pleasant southerly breeze, and the ladies took an unusual interest in yachting, It was something to rouse them up; #0 out came impromptu yachting cos- tumes and sundry councils were held with ladies’ Maids as to “What shall we wear to-night?” It | afforded the fair sex quite as much pleasure als- cussing What would match with the blue tarletan, or whether the salmon-colored silk could not be worn with the lace overskirt, as did the arrival of the yachts to the nautically inclined. Altogether, the people about the Pavilion appeared happy, and everybody who had @ brother-in-law or cousin, who was @ part owner in a sixtcen-foot cat boat, remembered the whole record of the craft, and faithfully recounted the yarn to his or her listening sriends, VIEW OF THE COMING SQUADRON, From off the piazza all had a good view of the yachts as they rounded Sands’ Point, and, lufing Up in the breeze, stretched up the bay. The massive Dreadnaught, stanch and sound, fit to cruise round the world, had her admirers, and the new schooner Cilio, with ber clean and shapely bow, was also closely observed, The ladies, how- ever, paid more attention to the Palmer and Foam, as the virgin white had more attraction to their criticising eves than dingy black, though adorned with the customary gold streak, The stately Alarm and the weatherly Rambler anchored close to One another, with the sloops Vision and Gracie close alongside. The last three have each got a well-known reputation, and the former will make hers when she catches the rest of the feet in about a single reef breeze. The Rambler figured to advantage last season in the races for the Ocean Challenge Cup, and the Vision and Gracie have both earned a reputation that requires no trampet to noise in yachting circles, The sloops West Wind, Kate, Vindex and Ariadne were aiso there to answer for themselves, The renovated Idier looks a beauty all over, with her long black hull and tapering spars, and the steam yachts Wave, Emily and Mystic serve to complete the picture of model pleasure craft, After the steamer Seawanhaka had discharged her cargo and the guests had eaten their supper the yachtsmen came ashore, the Pa- vilion brightened up, and, under the soothing uilu- ences of music, the hours glided quickly by. THE RECEPTION TO THE YACHT CLUB was unique in its way, commencing first with a Feomesace concert and ending with a lively dance, phe ladies were in great form, and, resplendent in the costiest apparel, arranged according to the latest fashion, force the yachtsmen to sail under double reefs to preserve their equilibrium, The attraction w. too much for their compass, and many returned on board early in order to get regulated before starting this morning. Some, however, resigned themselves to the intoxicating pleasures of the moment, and Fightin | with the swa.low-tailed land lubbers that were fluttering around the parlors, joined in the dance and kept at work until early morn. The hop was certainly a great success and reflected much credit ou the enterprising bost. Shortly after five o’clock this morning the yachts began to liven up as the crews got to work, washing down decks and making sail pre- paratory for the sail to New London. It would be hard to pick a more varied style of naval archi- tecture than that Fepresented im the fleet await- ing the Commodore's signal to start. For light weather there were the schooners Palmer, Foam, Cho and Idler, and the sloops Vision and Gracie, wiule the Dreadnought, Alarm and Rambier, apd the sloops Vindex aud Kate, represented the single -and double reef fiyers, THE START, At six A. M. the preparatory gun was fired on board the flagship Alarm, showing that Kear Com- modvre Kingsland and Fleet Captain Bend were evidently determined on punctuality, There was not much wind, but @ light southeasterly breeze that caine gently rippling over the bay had @ steady kind of appearance as if settling down for the day. Warned by the gun, there was considerable . hurrying on board the yachts making sail, and club topsails, balloon jibs and staysails were hauled on deck, preparatory for a light breeze. At 6:15 A. M. the second gun gave the starting signal, and the capstan on the Rambler swung around merrily while the others were at work ov more modern inventions, but aiming at the same object. The ficet were not pages! been m getting under way, and fave oue the impression of being only half awake the lazy way in which the jibs were run Mi The littie schooner Eva, lying to leeward of the fleet, was the firet off close on the heels of the iron sloop Vindex. The Alarm came next, followed ret closely by the = Idler, Rambler, Columbia and Tarolinta. The sioops West Wind and Ariadne came close behind, with the Clio, Foam and r bat sa up the rear, The schooner Tidal Wave and the sloop Viston were both detained some few minutes behind the rest of the fleet, waiting for some stores from shore. The tide was just on the last of the flood and the breeze had hauled round to about east- southeast. They were mostly ail gi? club Maintopsails and jibtopsalis, but as the breeze hauled round to the eastward the latter were dis- pensed with, The little Eva, under a CLOUD OF CANVAB, slipped rapidly ahead, followed by the Alarm, with the idier close on her heels. The Columbia, as pretty as a picture, and from the way she was pho Potpe fr the water looked like soon being at the head oi the fleet. The Tarolinta came up lively, and, passing the Rambler, followed after the Kiar, trying to crawl up to windward of the PFLAG SHIP; but, after hanging of her weather quarter for a | few minutes, dropped back again in her wake, The Palmer, oam and Clio were all close together, but the former gradually crept up to windward and hugged close aiong shore, ‘the Columbia soon began to move, and coming up passed the Idicr to leeward an took the lead, with the Eva lying off her lee guar. ter, At 7:15 the Idier stayed and stood in shore, foilowed shortly afterwards by the Columbia, Vin- dex, Alarm, Tarolinta, Clio and Vision, The Ram- bier was booming one down the middie of the Sound, looking as if she intended to try the Con- necticut shore. Alter making a short stretch in shore the yachts all stayed and went on the star- board tack. ‘ihe Palmer was now getting down to her work and walking Up through the fleet. She soon passed the Tarolinta, and then went by the Alarm tu leeward, The Columbia was still LRADING THE FLEET, followed by the Idler, Eva and the iron sloop Vindex. ‘the Foam made a long stretch down Sound, and then staying, stood im shore, cross- ing the wake of the Alarm. The Tidal Wave was now coming up alter the fleet, follow! in the wake of the Rambier. The Palmer attracted con- siderable ention a8, eating slowly up to wind- ward, she the Alarm’s lee, and came out off her weather bow, and with her nose stili shoved up to windward, started after the Columbia, AT BIGHT BELLS the wind became very light and variable, and the Alarm stood in snore on the port tack, but had to stay quickly in order vogivg the ‘Terolinta, on the starboard tack, the right of the way. The Foam caught @ pud of shore, and, coming up very fast, to Windward of the Palmer and then stayed, standing in shore, The Tarounta crossed we Lows of the Alarm and made a stretch along shore, heading up for the buoy off Lioyd’s Neck.

The breeze still kept freshening, and the Columbia dis- nsed with her gaff topsails, satisfied with the lower sails, The Tidal Wave was gradually coming up with the feet, and at 10:30 A. M, crossed the bows of the Rambler and stood in for LONG ISLAND SHORE. The breeze now came dead down the Sound, ‘iving the yachts @ splendid chance to display heir weatherly quatities to windward.

The Alarm Was about @ mile ahead of the Taralinta. and the Ranbier brought up the rear, nearly two miles astern, The Vision and Alarm ‘were all alone ove on the Connecticut shore, the big schooner going fast through the water crossed the bows of thé sloop as the latter clawing up to windwara came up across her leo and took @ position on thé weather quarter. The Vision took in her topsail and at 11:33 the Alarm STAYED OFF SOUTHPORT and stood on the port tack towards Long Island, The Columbia, on the starboard tack, crossed the bows of the Alarm, about two miles ahead, leadin, the fleet, keeping up her prestige as & fast boate At 11:38 the Columbia took in her maintopsail and the Idler crossed the bows of the Alarm, about @ third of a mile ahead, The Eva and Palmer were on the starboard tack, about a mile to windward of the Idler, and the Taro'inta crossed the wake of the Alarm about half a mile astern, At 11:49 the ‘tidal Wave crossed the wake of the Alarm, while the latter crossed the bows of the Foam about half a mile a head. The Tidal Wavé and Foam were both down to lower canvass, and the Alarm had just stowed her foretopsail, as thé sheet had parted. At noon all topsails had disap- peared, with the exception of the Alarm, and the Idler had her fyingjib taken 1n out of the way. It had now settled down to one of those dry epst- erly breezes, gathering strength all the time, and looking like reefs in pruapectivas The Idler nt 4 her foretopmost and kept along under main: foresail and jib, The Cito, under three lower sal Was about two miles to leeward of the Alar Standing across on the starboard tack. At 1200 the Tarolinta stayet sbout & mile astern of the Alarm and stood towatds i CONNROTICUT SHORE, It was a splendid sailing breeze, affording a good, fair test of the heels qualities of the squadron in beat to windward under the lower sails. Tho Idler, finding she was dropping astern, set her bia ls at 12:35, The Alarm was making a good leg this trip and looked gs if sbe would weatoer the Idler on the next tack, and cémifg up towards. the Long island shore the breeze hauled round a alittle more to the southward, and at 12:50 the Alarm tacked ‘ OFF CRANE NECK and stood along the Long Island shore, heading Well up the Sound. At 12:58 the Alarm met with an accident, carrying away the cleet of the main peak throat halyards, letting the main gail erop with arun, The mainsail was stretched again in about five minutes, and with topsail set the old crait was booming along as fresh ag a young kitten. The Idier, coming on the port tack, tacked off the lee quarter of tug Alarm at 1:08 and stood to the eastward, eeze came strong and putty off the land, giviag the Idler all she wanted, wit! both top masts housed apd a reef in her jib. At 1:10 the Alarm clewed up her maintopsail, findin; it was burying her instead of helping her throug the water, e breeze kept rolling up quite fresh and putty, coming in black gusts of the Long Isl- and shore and sending the Alarm along like a startied deer. The Idler was pecially left astern, but hoiding the better wind of the two. The Tidal Wave, going to the southward, stayed about half a mile astern of the Idier, The Colambia crossed the bow of the Alarm nearly two miles, with the Palmer hunting her up about five minutes luter. There was now a tolerably good race and the small fellows had quite as much as they wanted. The Eva was notdoing oie 80 weil, with her foresail down, under mainsail and @ big jib, and looked as if she had got more than she wanted. ‘The Idler still Dang on in the wake of the Alarm, but had to give way to the extra power of the big schooner. The Columbia was still leading the Geet about a mile ahead of the Palmer, THE ALARM WAS THIRD BOAT, with the Idler next, and the Tidal Wave following | halfa mile astern. The Eva was standing on the starboard tack towards the Connecticut shore, At 1:40 the Alarm housed her foretopmast, The ; breeze still kept steady, and at 2:11 the Alarm | stayed to the eastward, crossing the bows 01 the Idier, The latter, however, had gained a little in the last stretch, About three P. M. the breeze freshened, and, rolling up a little rough water, the Columbia ‘gave sheet, and stood for Ne’ Haven Harbor, with a view to acomfortable dinner, The Alarm was doing well on the starboard tack, head reaching on the Palmer, which lay about a mile to windward. The Idler was working along in shore about lulf a mile astern of the Alarm, and the Tarolinta and Rambler were some two or three miles astero, The little Eva was away over on the Connecticut shore, following after the Tidal Wave, At 3:30 P. M. the Palmer slacked away her main sheet and bore down joward the Alarm, but when about half a mile off her weather quarter, finding the latter tut coptinued on her course to New London, put all hands on the mainsail, and, TRIMMING DOWN, put her again ih the wind, A few minutes after- ward the Palmer lowered her foresail, and sailed under mainsail, jib and fying jib. At 3:43 the Alarm parted the clew of her Joresail, and lower- ing away, prepared to he ina single reef, At 3:50 the Palmer gave shect, evidently determined te Tun intv New Haven, and five minutes later Rear Commodore Kingsland concluded he had better keep company with the fleet, and ordered the Cte ‘on the same course. Several working schoonets bound to the castward adopted similar tactics aud accepted New Haven as a har- bor for the night. When the Palmer and Alarm anchored in Morris Cove they found the Columbia, ‘Tidal Wave, and Tarolinta riding quietly in the haven of refuge. The Eva and Phantom were also anchored of New Haven.

Seventy-two Lives Lost—The Investiga- tion to = To-Day—Criminal C duct of the Owners of the Stcamer=A Prosecution Promised. WASHINGTON, August 12, 1873, Additional reports from the scene of the Wa- Wasset disaster now place the number of the lost at seventy-two, The friends of Daniel Lynch, a tailor, doing business in this city, are certain that he was among the lost, judging from the descrip- tion of an unknown man published yesterday, Lynch was engaged to be married to a widow lady, who, with her two children, were also among the lost. THE INVESTIGATION into the cause of the disaster will begin to-morrow, and will assume the form of a sult agatust the own- ers of the Wawasset by the Supervising Inspector of Steamboats of the Treasury Department, It appears that on her last eventiul trip the owners of the Wawasset failed to ask or receive @ special per- mit to carry more passengers than her certificate of inspection allowed, If the owners had been granted such @ request they would have been compelled to have procured an addi- tional outfit. In the matter of an extra license, the owners having neglected to procure that neces sary paper, they have violated the law, and the penalty is a fine of $10 per passenger and to refund the passage money. It ia stated that the owners will also be prosecuted for carrying excursionists without license, Commodore Rose, Inspector of Hulls, who 18 stationed at Savannah, will conduct the Investigation. Mr. Rose will be assisted by John E, Edgar, Inspector of Boilers at Norfolk, both of whom are old and experienced inspectors, and entirely disinterested in the case. In this col- nection the following order was issued to-day :—~ TREASURY DEPARTMENT, August 12, 1873. Srr—In view of one Hong!
