There was considerable excitement on ’Change this afternoon, caused by a rumor that a petition had been got up and signed by members of the Board of Trade, asking tne Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners to change the grading of barley, so that No. 8 maybe inspected No. 2, Some dealers having been caught on account of the crops not roving a8 !avorable as they had calculated on early in the season, they are short and unable to fuldl their obligations for the delivery of standard No. 2, and so have resorted to this plan to save them: selves, The proceeding is denounced as dishonest, and it is claimed the Commissioners cannot now legally change the rules for grading, or rather that any change now would not release short parties from their contracts to deliver the grade as it was when the contracts were made.

A Close Race Between the Madeleine, Tidal Wave and Alarm. —_+—___ THE MADELEINE THE WINNER. She Makes the Fastest Time a on Record. THE COMING RACE FOR THE DOUGLAS CUP. Newport, R. I., August 21, 1873, After so many days of bad weatner it was quite refreshing to rise this morning and find a tolerably clear sky and a pleasant breeze irom the east- ward. By nine A. M. it became more settled in ap- pearance and looked rather like a fresh breeze from the east-southeast and clear weather for the race for the sennett Cup. lt would have been more satisiactory to have had a clear beat to’wind- ward one way, #0 as to test the yachts on all points of sailing; but this morning people were so delighted to see @ prospect of fair weather that they did not grumble at the wind not being from exactly the right quarter. The weather at the time of the start was rather favor- able to the larger vessels, and made the Made- leine’s chances still more promising. About ten A. M. the yachts were busy preparing for the race, bending on club topsails and getting out staysails and balloon jibs. They presently bore away out of the harbor and commenced tacking abont, await- ing the starting signal. The sloop yacht Vindex was kindly lent by Captain Robert Centre tor a stakeboat, and was anchored about acouple of hun- dred yards to the northwest of Fort Adams. The Regatta Committee—Messrs. Krebs, Steers and Chase—were on board, in order to take the time of the yachts on the start and finish. The following REGULATIONS were issued by the Regatta Committee to govern the race:— New York Yacut Cvs, NEWPORT, August 18, 1873, } A regatta for a prize presented by Commodore Bennett for schooners will be sailed on Tossdar 19th inst., at ten o'clock A.

It will be subject to the time allow- ances, and will be sailed in accordance witi the’ satling regulations of the Club, except as herein otherwise provided. No deposit will be required on entering yachts. The start will be a fying one, and the time of each yacht will be taken as she passes the judges’ boat, the yacht Vindex, which will be anchored near Fort Adams and the Dump- ling Rocks. The course will be from the place of starting a8 above, to and around the buoy on the north point of Biock Island, keeping it on the star. board hand in turning, thence back to the place of starting. There will be no stakeboat at the Block Island buoy. Yactits will carry their private sig- nal at the main peak. The starting signals, which will be given from the Vindex, will be as follows :— 1, At ten o’clock precisely for a preparatory signal one gun and the Club flag at the mastnead ill be lowered. 2. Ten minutes later for the start the same signal will be repeated. Yachts must cross the line within fifteen minutes after second sig! and at the Ce aoa of that time the signals will be again repea WILLIAM KREBS, E. E. OHASE, atta Committee. HENRY STEERS, } eh The Vindex looked quite saucy as she rode quietly at anchor, all dressed out with flags and bunting, and at 9:59 she fired the first gun as a signal to prepare.

The big keel schooner Alarm looked well, carrying her working main topsails, main and fore- sails, forestaysail jib, fying jib and jib topsail. The Josephine passed her stern under ordinary cruising canvas, followed by the Foam with a club main top sail, and working foretopsail aloft. The sloop Ariadne was skipping along with a club topsall set over her working topsail, and the little Vixen also sported a little extra canvas aloft. The dal Wave was evi- dently under the impression that there was plenty of wind outside, as she only set her working topsails.

The followed after the Alarm some distance astern,’ with the Josephine off her weather quarter, coming up past the Whitewash Rock. The Madgie came creeping up under the land to windward of the arm, but as the big keel schooner shot out from under the land, and caught the fresh breeze, the Stoning- ton yacht dropped astern. The Foam was off to leeward of the Alarm, leading the Idler and Made- leine. The Idler appeared to be doing better minus 5 ie eleine did not her.

The breeze was new about south-southeast and kept freehen- ing every minute, The Madeleine was leading tho feet, followed by the Alarm about three hundred yards astern. The Madgie was third, doing good work, with the Idler a short distance astern and the Tidal wie up to windward ot the latter. The Idler was still in trouble, with her balloon jib half down, and not doing her much good. | AFTER PASSING POLNT JUDITH the yachts got the benefit of a strong westerly tide that kept setting them up to windward. The Alarm was doing remarkably weil sor @ boat not in racing trim or carrying racing canvgs, as the Madeleine found it hard work to get away Irom her, notwithstanding the acres of duck she had spread. The Madgie was still hanging pre close to the Alarm, followed — b, ine Tidal Wave. The Idler came next, witl the Foam away down to leeward. The little Eva ‘was some tance behind, with the Lodies well up to windward and her clab topsail taken in. As things looked now the Made- <leine had the race in hand, as there was just enough breeze for her to carry her balloons in comiort, The hopes for the Alarm were now centered in more’ breeze, sufficient to make the racing yachts take in their kites and come down to business, Just before coming up to the buoy, the Madgie closed upon the Alarm and took up @ position off her weather quarter, which’ she steadily improved every minute. At 62m, the Madgie took down — her club, topsail and to prepare for a gibe roufda the buoy. The Madeleine then lowered awav her = staysail and took down her foretopsail. The Madyie presently bore down on the Alarm, and, covering her up, stopped the way of the big keel schooner and let the Stoning- ton boat slip ahead. The Madeleine then rourded the buoy, followed three minutes later by the Madgie. The Alarm wags third, with the Tidal Wave @ minute later. The Foam came next, and a short time afterwards the Idler went around, leading the Josephine, which was several minutes ahead of the Eva. The breeze had now freshened considerably, and the yachts were just able to head for Brenton’s Reef lightship. Staysails were dispensed with, and the Madgte had come down to her lower sails, ‘The Madeleine was still carrying her main club topsail. At 12:17 she lowered down and set her working topsails.

The Alarm got all hands to work trimming sail, and took in the jib topsail, satisfied it was doing no good. The Idler was coming along after the Foam, and looked as if she would be all the - better if the five tons of ballast were snugly stowed in their old quarters, The ‘lidal Wave sale crept ahead of the Alarm and took third place in the fleet. The litte Eva was making a game race, following aiter the Jo- sephine, but the big schooners were too much for her, with the prevailing breeze. The Resolute started some time after the racing yachts an® went round the course, making pretty good time, as she was now off the Alarm’s lee quarter. The Mole were now going like racehorses, and the ladeleine was in a tair way to make the lastest time over the Block Island course that any yacht had ever yet achieved. 1t was BEAUTIFUL SAILING} but it would have been more sausfactory if the feet had been forced to beat home, as then the yachts would be fairly tested on the wind as well as off it, The Alarm, with her canvas properly trimmed, now began to do @ litte better, and was clawing up to windward of the Tidal Wave, The Foam was doing well off the lee quarter ofthe Alarm. The fidal Wave presently walked up to windward of the Madgie and followed aiter the Madeleine. The Alarm now lay down to her work and began to overhaul the Madgie, which was lying over to the breeze, with alittle more than she wanted. The Idler, Josephine and Eva were now some distance astern, virtually out of the race, At 12h. 48m. the Alarm passed to windward of the Madgie and followed aiter the Tidal Wave. The Madeleine was still leading the feet, but appeared to be sagging off to eeward, and the Alarm was clawing up to windward of the Tidal Wave. At 12h. 55m. the Alarm was steering northeast by east, Point Judith bearing northwest by west, half a mile distant, and the Madeleine and ‘lidal Wave were off the lee bow, bearing north-northeast, the former a mile and the latter a quar- ter of a mile distant. It now became a matter of conjecture whether the Madeleine would fetch in without making a tack. The Resolute was sailing pretty well, about half a mile to leeward of the Alarm, and the Madgie was a little to wind- ward of the Resolute. The Foam followed after = Madgie, and the Idler came next, some distance astern. THE RACE NOW LAY between the Madeleine, Tidal Wave and Alarm, and they made a mighty pretty race, all under working canvas. After passing Point Judith the sea went down and the breeze lightened up alittle. The Madeleine was now close on the wind, trying to lay her course, and the Tidai Wave was being trimmed Jon, Qinding the Alarm coming up to windward. The Madgie, Foam and the rest of the feet were dropping gradually astern, leaving the three leading yachts to fight for the Bennett Cup between themselves. The Alarm was dually gaining on the Tidal Wave, and looked like push- ing the Madeleine for first place. The steam yacht Emily, with squaresails set, came down to meet the racers as ~- the’ passed in bound for the home stakeboat. The Madeleine was about three-quartcrs of a mile ahead, off the lee bow of the Alarm, hugging close on the wind to fetch up the harbor. The Alarm was now about a quarter of a mile to windward of the Tidal Wave, and it looked like A CLOSE RACE between those two for second place. The breeze began to lose its strength after passing Brenton’s Reef Lightship, and the Tidal Wave held her own better with the keel schooner. As the Made- leine passed in py the Whitewash Rocks the larm and Tidal Wave were about half a mile astern, coming along bow and bow. The Madgte was about half a mile astern of the Alarm, with the Foam about the same distance bebind the Madgie. The Idler and Josephine were some dis- tance behind, foilowed by the Eva. The latter, however, in the smooth water gained on the Joseph- ine and looked as if she would not be last in. Inside the Whitewash Rocks the water was quite smooth, and the Tidal Wave crept ahead of the Alarm, as the breeze had ligntened up consideraply. There were @ few cal ages down on Bateman’s, drawn up to see the yachts come in, but the race had been made so quick that many had not ar- beh uy gt free feet hag OS e La fore r fveP,M, The ve passed in Shead of fs a Ha te ing well up to wind- crossed the line with ward Pan the rocks, Alarm’s flying jibboom ‘banging over her topsail.

The Madeleine, therefore, wins the Bennett Cup, beating the Madgie by ten minutes fifty-seven seconds on corrected time, after making the course in the fastest time om record. The sloop Vision wins the sloop prize, beat- ing the Vixen by seven .minutes iorty- eight seconds on correeted time. The race was one of the finest ever sailed off Newport, and displayed some excellent ae on the part of a number of boats, The Alarm did remarkably well, considering the canvas she carried, and the Idler would probably have given a better account of her- self if sne had not met with a mishap coming home, and carried away her fying jibboom and the club maintopsail. The schooner yacht Resolute sailed round the course with the fleet, oe it in nearly as fast time as the Madeleine, a g performance, t: 7 into consideration twenty-five guests on board, be- sides boats, &c.
