3 YACHTING. - THE REGATTA WEEK AT COWES. The Scenes of Beauty and Sounds of Revelry at the Isle of Wight. The Race for the Queen’s Prize—The Kreimhilda the Winner. CowEs, August 21, 1873, You can get some idea of Cowes by looking at Staten Island from the water. The villas, dotted here and there, each in its nook of greenery, self- included and self-sufficient, have much the same wppearance in both places, though the verdure in the Isle of Wight is greener and brighter than that 01 its transatlantic sister. There are other water- ing places of popular resort in ' THE ISLE OF WIGHT, but Cowes is at the head of them all. There is Ryde, with its long pier stretching far into the sea, @ favorite flirting ground for yachtsmen and Lon- don belles out o1 town; there is Ventnor, with its mill, soft air, the abiding-piace of invalids; there are Shanklin and Banchureh, full of nursemaids and bathing children; and there is Freshwater, mear which is Farringford, where Mr. Tennyson ‘used to live until he was hunted out of his retreat by inquisitive cockneys and tourists. But Cowes beats them all. There is as much difference be- tween it and Ryde as there tg between Newport and Long Branch. At each of the former the society is perfectly select. You may inhabit your cottage for two months and never make acquaint- ance with the occupant of the neighboring villa; whereas, at either of the latver 1t is hail fellow well met; and come along Jack! Everybody knows everybody else; everybody dines, drives, lunches, picnics, bathes and dances with every- boay else; and though there is as much fun, it is of rather a rough sort. For eleven months and three weeks out of every year, Cowes is the quiet- est, sleepiest, most routine going place imaginable. Im seven days it seems to let off all the compressed steam, the slumbering dare-deviltry that has been confined in it during the rest of the twelvemontn. This is during tue regatta week, when the little roadstead is crowded with yachts, sq closely packed that their gigs can scarcely creep in between them: when each cottage is a centre of fun and gaiety such as are rarely tobe met with elsewhere. After about the third day the regular inhabitants of Cowes get so dazed with the noise and bustie that they entertain serious thoughts of running ‘up to London for quiet. ‘This year the excitement began on Saturday, the ‘and of Mugust, when all THE SWELLS, or “smart people” as they are called in fashionable slang, came over after Goodwood Race, and the Royal Yacht Squadron’s landing place was filled all day with distinguished visitors, who were brought off from their yachts. These yachts had anchored or picked up moornings just in the same position as last year, which made you feel, as you satin the clob gardens, that nothing had changed for the last twelve months. On Saturday night the little town was full to overflowing; big trucks filled with luggage marked in all colors blocked the High Street, and I saw one highly emblazoned box being Pulled up to tie first Noor window of a pastry cooks’ shop, & powdered servant looking disdain- fully on from the street below. On Sunday, as usual, there was a great church parade— A SOMEWHAT AMPHIBIOUS appearance about the yacht owners, some of whom confessed they never went to church when at home, but thought it the right thing to do at Cowes, a8 an example to their men. Plain evi- dence of this was to be found in the look of their coats, which were all in creases, trom having been Kept in lockers since the yachting season began. Church service was a good deal interfered with by a@salute fired from the Russian man-of-war, and answered by the club guns, in_honor of the Prince of Wales, who, oddly enough, selected twelve o’clock as a time for paying the Russian officers a visit on their ship. Some people left the church, the noe was so great; and what always goes by the name of the ‘“ Regatta Sermon” was consider- ably curtailed. Last year, when the incumbent minister asked a particularly nautical member of the Royal Yacht Squadron tor a subscription to a fund for providing the church with an additional curate, he fet for answer, ‘Certainly not! You've too many hands aboard her now. You've length- ened her by the bows, and got some new Cowes scantiing in her. What more do you want” Tuesday was the day appointed for THE RACE FOR THE QUEEN'S PRIZE of 100 guineas, the yachts to belong to the Royal Squadron. The start, as I saw it from the club, at ten in the morning, was wonderfully pretty. he course was to the westward, and there was a strong west-going ebb tide, and the yachts had to cant round. One moment their masts were stand- lng bare against the brightest of bme skies, and the next they were moving away with a cloud of white sail, ‘making the most beautiful curves, gs they disappeared, one by one, behin Egypt Point. ‘The Kreimhilda, Count Batty- hany’s cutter, was the first to cant round, and maintained her lead during the whole race, winning by thirteen minutes. She would have won by ‘a considerably longer time, but alter rounding the western mark boat, in setting her gatttopsall the halyards got in hetween the sheave of the mast, which split the mast down and prevented her setting her jib-headed topsail. At eleven o'clock P. M. there was a great gathering at the club to see the fireworks. Part of the plat- form wag roped oif for the Osborne party, and tite Princess of Wales and the‘Uzarevna bent over the battlements, sometimes in the moonlight, some- times in the glare of rockets and fire balloons, and scemed highly pleased with the display. The Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales cried “Oh!” at each rocket in @ manner worthy of the most in- veterate Cremorner, oy, the way, here is a neat mot from the Prince. I heard the Duke ot Rutland ask His Royal Highness, who had sail in the Kreim- hiida during the race, if they had not “carried away something?” and the Prince replied, “Nothing but the prize.” On Wednesday TH EREDIRILDA WAS AGAIN SUCCESSFUL, winning the Town Cup, value £100, and on Friday she beat the squadron cutters and took her third hundred guinea prize. As she came by Her Maj- esty’s snip Ariadne the band played “See the Con- guering Hero Comes,” and as she passed the mark- boat there was tremendous cheering from the yachts’ crews. On Thursday there was A DANCE ON BOARD HER MAJESTY’S SHIP ARIADNE id all the squadron members, with thew wives \d tamilies, had invitations, Cutters and steam- launches plied all the afternoon ‘between the ship and the club stairs, and an immense deai of trouble had been taken to make it a success. All the aft- part of the ship was covered in with flags. There ‘Were stands of armsin all sorts of devices, deco- rated with flowers; arches of evergreens at the Gangways, the Vecks cleared lor dancing a the aft-cubins turned into. refreshment rooms, the poop being filled with loungiug chairs for the non-dancers. Every one met in te club gardens afier being landed, and [ saw sitting under the elim trees Prince Arthur, the Duchesses of Cleveland and Manchester, the Duke of Rutland, Lords Payston, Tufield, Annesley, Hartington, George Paget, [ord and Lady Otho Fitzgerald, iady Aylesbury, &c.—a tremendous gathering for the garden, which is the pleasantest lounging place on an August day in the world. There isa Bort Of happy famiiy toych about it all that is quite charming. Tavervbody meets “under the elm’? once or twice a day, aud little parties are made up to go for a cruise to tie westward or to take what is called a ‘simmer round” in a steam iaunch, or €o drive to Carisproke (or an impromptu tea on the bowling green. Quarrels bred in Loudon are made up on the lawn, and there are more genial hospt- tality and good cheer under the roofs of some of the small cottages and even over some of the little shops in the High street during the week than you get ali the year among the same peo- ple in London. Then there are THE LITTLE DINNER PARTIES AFLOAT, the gig to fetch you off at eiuic, in which you see hothouse flowers and peaches ‘stowed away tor- ward; the greeting at the gangway, the run up on fleck to see What's going on, the coitee and chasse under the awning, With, perhaps, a song of many verses irom the man in the forecaatie. ‘Then there Bre the going below when the wina turns cold and the gathering up to the table for a round game, after which the steadiest of M.

The ballroom was prettier this year than ever. The platform of the castie is tented in and the permanent iron roof hung with flowers. A creeper, planted some years ago, wound its way about and covered every support and iramework with bright green leaves and flowers. Every gas pipe pendant from the Too! was festooned down to its last globes, and the walls in piso Were thick with leaves on trellis work, making a wondertully pretty background to the smart dresses. The gardens were lighted with lanterns, and large wicker chairs were leit on the jJawn for those members of the club who did not care to don evening clothes. There was plenty of Stealing out in twos to sit under the trees or on the battlements, and when the music ceased you could hear the wash of the high tide on the rocks below and the rippling of water on the boats’ bows as they waited at the club stairs, It was a perfect night, & proper jinale to a most enjoyable week. PIGEON SHOOTING. Match of $300 Between Well Known Jerseymen—Fifty irds Each—Moses Myers, of Belleville, the Winner. A pigeon shooting match, which for several Weeks has caused considerable interest and specu- lation in New Jersey, came off yesterday afternoon, agreeably to announcement, at Waverley Park, in the village of that name, three miles from Newark. The contestants were Moses Myers, of Belleville, and E.M. Quimby, or, as he is more familiarly known, “Lank’? Quimby, of Morristown, both Jerseyites, The conditions of the match were that each should shoot at fifty birds, twenty-one yards rise, eighty yards boundary, using one and a quar- ter ounces of shot and an H trap, for $150 a side. They were also to find and trap for each other. Quimby, in and around the place of his resi- dence, had enjoyed a big reputation for skill in this sport, as a year or 80 ago, at New- port, R, L, he beat Paine in a@ fifty-bird match, killing forty-two or forty-four out of the num- ber. Since that period the shooting fraternity of Morristown thought “Lank” to be invincible, even by some of the better known professionals; but it is to be feared they will hereafter moderate their praise for bim, and come to the conclusion that there are ‘‘many better men” in the field, Of Myers it can be said that for years his iriends have esteemed him a fair shot, and, naving confidence in his ability, made the present match. He out- shot Quimby from the start, demonstrating that he had a better eye and more nerve. The crowd that gathered to witness the contest ‘was quite large, hailing chiefly from Newark, and while many of them were very Tespectable and quiet, a few, thinking to be well eippared for the occasion, came on the ground |! of insinuating applejack, and, consequently, were an annoyance from the beginning to the end. Much time was lost in arranging a few of the minor details, and the shooting progressed very glowly. The trappers were evidently new to the business, or else they lelt that the duties of the position were feariully sesponsible, and hence much delayed the sport. The young gentleman who trapped in behalf of Myers, after disposing of his birds as he should have done, would stand beside the trap with folded arms as if he wanted a photograph of his graceful position, and then, measurin; strides, would arrive at the score just as Quimby was about shooting, when, in defiance of all rules and etiquette, he would speak to him in a bantering manner. In some matches of this kind the young man would have been taken by the arm and marched out of harm’s way. The referee should have noticed tne tra| per’s little by-play as also the unfair manner in which Myers heid his gun, but that official had some outside business to attend to during the con- test, and did it to his satisfaction. Before the commencement of the shooting there Was but little betting, but when the tenth bird had been killed by each, Myers was the favorite five to one. Myers missed his firat bird and then killed nineteen in succession. At his tenth bird gala had missed three, and at his twentieth seven, while at his thirtieth nine blanks were scored against him to but three for Myers. At the fortieth bird by each Quimby had killed twenty-six, while Myers led him nine birds. The latter brought down his forty-first bird, and then “Lank’’ gave up, as it was impossible for him to win, the score staud- jng:—Myers, killed 36, missed 5; and Quimby, killed 26, missed 15. The birds, as a rule, were of an inferior character. The following is a SUMMARY, WAVERLEY PARK, WAVERLY, N.

Mrs. Harriett Beecher Stowe is the guest of Ex- Governor Claiflin, of Massachusetts, at Martha’s Vineyard. Count Zanini, of the Italian Legation at Wash- ington, is taking a tour. He was at Montreal on Saturday last. Among the names recorded on the solid rock on the summit of Monadnock Mountain, N. H., is that of Marquis De Lafayette. A large number of the female waiters at the ho- tels in the White Mountains were New England school teachers, They divided their vacations between pleasure and profit. ‘The camp meeting folks are making war upon the race track at Martha’s Vineyard. The course, although it is over a mile from the camp grounds, is considered to be detrimental to the cause of religion. Prescott Hall, of this city, has a cottage at New- port built upon the site of the old Colonel Malbone house, which was burned over a hundred years ago. Part cf the stone of the old house was used in the construction of the new one. The hotel keepers at Niagara Falls are complain- ing of the newspapers for printing notices which prove detrimental to their summer trade. It is not the newspapers in their publication of facts that are injuring them. It is the outrageous ex- tortions practised upon summer visitors by the in- habitants of the place. ‘The following is given by a correspondent of the Rochester Union as the cost of a day’s sojourn at Niagara Falis:—First you enter Prospect Park, on the American side, charge, 20 cents; descending the piane to the foot’ of the American Fall, 25 cents; crossing the ferry, 25 cents; to Goat Island, 50 cents; to the Cave of the Winds, $1 50; crossing the Suspension Bridge, 25 cents, in addition to car- riage toll of 25 cents; under Horse Shoe Falls, $2; Prince of Wales’ Tower, 50 cents; Burning Springs, 40 cents; Tower at Lundy’s Lane, 60 cents; Whirl- pool, 50 cents; Whirlpool Rapids, 50 cents; Tower on Suspension Bridge, 25 cents; making about $7 50, exclusive of carriage hire, which may be saiely put down at $6, making an aggregate of $13 50; to which must be added hotel charges, say $65 per day, and you ‘have $18 50 as the cost of a day’s sojourn at Niagara. A correspondent of the Reading (Pa.) Times, in comparing Saratoga with Cape May, awards to the former a large preponderance of morality over the latter. He says, and itis fair to presume that he knows whereof he speaks, that, although Cape May is made up mostly of the pious people of Philadelphia, the juvenile ball which takes place twice a week there is seldom seen at the Springs; the Cape daily prayer meeting never exceeds fifty who take part in the exercises, but at Saratoga every morning the attendance is from four to five hundred; the drunkenness 1s not so great at the Springs as it is at Cape May, and the ladies at the Springs avoid entirely the sherry cobbler, which is the shame and disgrace of Cape May. Our experience warrants us in saying that there is great room for improvement on the score Ol morality in both places. ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AND Poo. MAG RAILROAD.

A FINE DAY AND FAIR TRACK. pe Ea Good Trotting and Capital Hurdling. George Miller the Winner of the Trot and Revenge of the Hurdle Race. The rain yesterday morning made the track quite heavy and holding, and although good racing was anticipated, fast time was not looked for. The sky was bright at the hour of startin and the attendance very fair considering the threatening state of the weather up to noon. Many of the country people were afraid torisk @ drive to Goshen, and the Newburgers were kept at home on account of the rain, which fell there until late in the morning. Nevertheless the attendance was good, and the members of the association expressed themselves satisfied with the result of the meeting. It has been a success in every way. The “wind up’ had two races on the card—one a trotting contest and the other a hurdle handicap dash of a mile and a half over six hurdles, The hurdle race came off first. The entries for the trotting purse numbered eighteen, consisting of T. W. Roy’s bay horse Rapid Transit, Edward Thorn’s bay stallion Wild Oats, Thomas McMahon’s sorrel gelding Hopeful, John Minchin’s bay horse Lumberman, J. H. Phil- lips’ black gelding Winslow, J. 0.

Mace’s bay mare Nellie Walton, and A. Patterson’s bay gelding Frank Klock. Mollie Smith was the favorite against the field, at even money. She wou two heats, when Mr. Galway, made a complaint against the driver of George Mil- ler, and paid over to the judges $50 to have another driver substituted behind the horse. James McKee Was selected to take charge of George Miller, and he won the three subsequent heats in most extra- ordinary time over such a track, the fifth heat being trotted in 2:40, which is great time on a half-mile track when it is in ever so good condition, Ten herses started, but Mollie Smith and George Miller finishea the race alone, The nurdie race was a handicap for a purse of $500, $250 to the first, $150 to the second and $100 to the third horse; one mile and a halt, over six hurdles, There were five entries, comprising R, W. Weldon’s chestnut mare Maid of Athens, by Prophet, dam Jessie Dixon, 4 years old, carrying 126 Ibs. John Boughrum’s black gelding Gerald, by Mickey Free, dam Kosette, aged, 144 Ibs. ; John Boughrum’s sorrel gelding Revenge, by Revenue, dam unknown, aged, ‘151 Ibs. ; Thomas Jones’ bay horse "Harry Booth, by Lexington, dam ,| Blonde, aged, 140 1bs., and J.

Maid of Athens was second, The race-gave great satisfaction, as it was the first of the kind ever witnessed at Goshen. The 1ollow- ing are the details of the ractng as it came off:. THE HURDLE RACE, Harry Booth was first away, Vesuvius second, Revenge third, Maid of ‘Athens fourth. When the horses jumped the first hurdle Revenge was first over, Vesuvius second, Harry Booth third, Maid of Athens fourth, Revenge trom there showed the way to the end, At the second hurdle he led eight lenghts, Vesuvius second, two lenghts in front of Harry Booth, who was six lenghts in front of the na a At the third hurdle Revenge was filty yards in front, Harry Booth second, one length anead ot Vesuvius, the latter being three lengths in advavee ef Maid of Athens, Revenge opened the gap to seventy or eighty vards to the next hurdle, and oing On strong won the race in the easiest pessi- le manner.

ON FASHION STUD FARM. dies Eight Trotting Horses Destroyed by Fire om Fashion Stua@ Farm—President Grant’s Fillies Burned. A disastrous destruction of valuable property was caused yesterday by fire on the Fashion Stud Farm, three miles east of Trenton, N. J., on the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. About eleven o’clock smoke was seen issuing from one of the large stables on the farm, wherein nineteen trote ting horses were confined at the time, A despatch was immediately sent to Trenton, where the firebelis were tolled, The entire department hastened to the scene of the conflagration, engag- ing carriages, wavons and all manner of convey- ances. A large number of pedestrians wended their way thither, and along the road there was nothing but excitement, bustle and commotion, old and young rushing to the scene. Wher the fire was discovered the men, employed on the farm, who happened to pe in the. vicinity, im- mediately ran to the rescue of Goldsmith Maid, Lucy, Rosalind, Hotspur and other well known trotters, which were stabled in the outer stalls. The men succeeded in saving those valuable ani- mals, after persevering efforts, notwithstanding the structure was completely enwrapped in flam: One of the stable men had to venture ti second time into the stall of Rosalind before he was successiul in extricating that animal from her perilous positron. Eleven out of the nineteen horses were rescued. The building is now a heap of smouldering ruins, and the charred remains of the un‘ortunate anl- mals that perished by the unmerciiul element are to be seen in the midst of the débris. The stable was @ frame building, and consequently the flames spread with Jeariu) rapidity. The following are the names of the animals that were res- cued:—Golasmith Maid, Rosalind, Lucy, Hot- spur, Susie Parker and a California mare calied Sacramento. Those destroyed were :—William H. Doble’sg. h. Harry B., seven years eld, vained at $4,000, could trot in 2:35; William ©, Hutchison’s b. 8. Young Windsor, five years old, valued at $5,000, could trot in 2:40; General Grant’s two three-year-old fillies, Bashaw Maid and Cinderella, @ promising team, valued at $10,000—sent to the farm about a month ago for training; J. B. But- terworti’s b.h. Laperre, seven years old, valued at $5,000, could trot in ; J. B, Butterworth’s b. h., valued at $2,500; d. Perry’s b, m, Lizzy Perry, aged six years, valued at $4,000, could trot in }, and @ valuable trotting horse from Bethle- hem. The following property was also consumed: Twelve sulkies, five track wagons, three road Wagons, twenty sets of harness and the stables, the aggregate value of which is $20,600. A groom, mamed Charles Cochran, who was in charge of Goldsmith Maid, had $3,070 in a chest, which, with @ quantity of clothing, was also destroyed. Coch- ran himself was badly burned while endeavoring to save the horses, Tne clothing belonging to Rosa- lind and the outfits of the other famous trotters were consumed. Mr. Jackman, the chief hostler, es- timates the whole loss at about $100,000, There was none of the property insured, except the stable, which is fully covered, to the extent of $10,000, The Fashion Stud Farm covers 146 acres, and is owned by H. N. smitn, of the firm of De Ferrest & Co., No. 78 Broadway, New York, “the origin of the fire cannot be ascertained. Mr. Jackman thinka it caught from sparks of a passing locomotive. Others surmise that it was the result of the carelessness of persons who were smoking in the stable.

NO BAIL FOR RODMAN YET. Ho Weeps Bitterly in His Cell—The Story of the $56,000 Gold Check—The Brooklyn Trust Company and How It Was Managed. Rodman, the de‘aulter and ex-Deputy Treasurer of the city of Brooklyn, remains in the Raymond ‘Street Jail awaiting the coming of the boudsmen promised by his counsel so confidently a week ago. Yesterday the prisoner was visited by his counsel, Colonel E, T, Wood; and a friend, During the in- terview Rodman BROKE DOWN AND WEPT BITTERLY. Assistant District Attorney Cullen will bring the case of Rodman before the Grand Jury on Monday next. Yesterday Mr. Cullen requested Corpora- tion Counsel De Witt to furnish him with the -Recessary list of names of witnesses, and this will be done, Treasurer Sprague has not yet handed in his resignation to the Mayor, but will, it is ex- pected, do so to-day. An interview was had yes- terday with Alderman §opes, the President of the Brooklyn Trust Compauy, touching a gold check for $56,375 which was passed upon that company three years ago, and has been known as THE VAN SAUN CHEC ‘The following dialogue took piace Q. Was not the Trust Company stuck with the Van Saun gold check two or three summers ago? A. I do not know; but there is nothing in that transaction to affect the present condition of the Trust Company, and | not see how it would benefit the Company to go back two or three years to as- certain. Q. Has not $30,000 been paid onit? A, I have said ail I can say in the matter, There is nothing lcan do, unless I took up my time to overhaul the books of the institution in order to get at some mode of replying to your questions, aud ag long as that matter occurred years ago and at present forms no part of the ‘business of this institution, I fail to see the profit to accrue to the public, or anyone else, by pursuing the matter an turther, In view of what has been developed al- ready, I am free to say that MR. RODMAN IS, IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY PRRSON Who possesses the truth concerning that check and all the incidents connected with it. He alone can tell. If | was to go over the books, they, ol course, would not show the truth, because there is every evidence that the whole thing was nelarious, And if THE TRANSACTION WAS NEFARIOUS, } as it undoubtedly was, of course the man who practised it would be very sure to leave no evi- dence to criminate himsell, All I know about this check is what [ have seen in the new find that the directors who are here think as IT think—that the transaction was not houest, and that is all there is to be said about it. Q. Has not sewing machine stock been deposited with the Trust Company as security for the remain- ing $26,000, and did not the Board of Directors re- fuse to count 1t as worth anything? A. When I . became President | received the assets of the com- pany from the receiver, and there was no sewing machine stock among them. There are some things in possession of the company not counted as assets, which I have not hud time to look over yet. Q. Who do the company look to for a settiement of the balance? A. lo the stock; but it does not follow that the stock covers that particular loan, . 18 not this the sewing machine company in 5 THE FORGERY FEVER. A Startling Theory as to Those $500 Counterfeits. WHERE WILLIAMSON HAS GONE, peeing Mia The Alleged Forgery oy the Bank of Ha- vana—The Johnson Forgery Case— Another Adjournment. The excitement in Wall street over the discovery Of forged securities and counterfeit Treasury notes is far from subsiding. A reporter of the HERALD called upon the teller of the Bank of America yesterday. This gentleman said that many bankers on the street were in doubt as to whether they held any of the counter- feft bills or not. It required the closest scrutiny, with @ powerful glass, to detect any aif ference in the mechanical execution of the genuine and bogus bills. This, he said, haa given rise to a rumor which was worth inves- tigating, It was asserted that many differences as to the impression given by the printing press from. the plates A BC and D were readily discoverable, Was it not, then, just possible that one of the gen- uine plates had sustained some sligntinjury, which, unnoticed at the time, transferred its inaccuracy to the bills ? “Then,” said the reporter, “it is barely possible, on that hypotnesis, that the bills are NOT COUNTERFEIT AT ALL"? “It is only barely possible. The worst feature on the suspfcious notes is the blurred appearance on the back of the bills. The commonly circulated directions as to the method of distinguishing the two bills is of no practical value, It is impossible for a bank teller to distingutsh with the naked eye whether there are five or six lines under the word ‘Washington.’ To subject everyone to the scrutiny of @ strong glass would greatly impede business, This whole fuss about counterfeit $500 notes will finally compe! all the banks to reiuse to receive such denominations from any but customers, It would not be surprising if $500 treasury notes ceased for a time at least to circulate.” The teller here showed the reporter a number of $500 bills, and pointed out slight differences as to the printing of several. There was no question but these were genuine, but there was no way of shi phe teiler laughed and did not appear 0 be an: 8 about it, AT THE SUB-TREASURY, The casifer of the Suv-Treasury, W. G. White, had not yesterday received any additional counter- feits up to the hour of closing. It was not believed that the banks had all overhauled their reserve funds, among which much of this spurious currency might yet ba found. THE “BAD-GREEN’!-BACK, The payingteiler of Duncav, Sherman & Co, sald that he had been shown one of the spurious pills, «He said: that in taking money he depended principally upon the clear green appearances of the back of the genuine bill and the yellowish-green, blurred ap- pearance of the back of the counterieit. This lat- ter he regarded as one evidence of spurtousness, although he had found many genuine national bank notes baving the same appearance. STARTLING FOR THE DETECTIVES. A HERALD reporter learned last night from & gentleman, who can at any time be produced, that Williamson, the alleged notorious bond forger, has not left for Canada, as ls generally supposed by the detectives, ‘The gentleman who ts winted is now en route for Mexico, and left this city on Saturday last. ‘The reporter learned this fact irom a gentie- man who has personal knowledge that a certain which White is tuterested? A. Those things are done in such a manner that we can’t tell anything about it; the name given may be a myth, and you have nothing but the stock to depend on; | have explained this already. Q. Did you know that thé LOANS Of THE WILLIAMANTIC BONDS were made to White individuaily, aud, on Mills’ death, were found in the treasury of the ‘Trust Company’ A. I have answered that question already in reply toa previous one. There is no sewing machine stock among the assets. Judge McCue, one of the directors of the Trust Company, said that the note in question was never there to his knowledge. “There was a iorged check passed off, but I never saw It in my life,” re- marked the Judge, TAMMANY GENERAL COMMITTEE, Unimportant Busine Transacted—The Convention at Utica. The Tammany Hal! General Committee met last evening, John W. Chanler presiding. A large num- ber of delegates attended, but very little business was transacted.

Isaac Rosendale as a dele- gate from the Twenty-first district, and the report Was agreed to. Mr. Join Kelly, chairman of the Committee on Finance, stated that he had caused the usual notices to be sent to delegates relative to the expenses oi the organization. On motion of Mr. A. B. Caldwell the following resolution was adopted :— Resolyed. That the Chairman ofeach Assembly distriet General Commitice be requested to obtain trow the state Central Committee a sufficient number of prépared poll books, Soon as possible, and distribute his General Committee, in order that a thorough caavass of voters may be procured in the various poli disiricts of this city. Mr. Johif Fox called the attention of delegates to the fact that the State Conveution would assemble in Utica on October 1. No discussion was had on this matter, it being understood that deiemates would each in his own district attend properly to the primaries, Mr. William Walsh drew the notice of the chair to this fact, that the Twenty-first district had some five months ago sent to the General Committee as delegates Messrs. Felix Kennedy and Thomas Pier- son, but as the Committee on Organization hi not since considered this case these gentiem had not yet obtained their seats, Messrs. Kennedy and Pierson were then, on motion of Mr. Walsh, received as delegates from the Twenty-tirst dis- trict. The committee then adjourned, NOMINATIONS FOR SHERIFF AND ASSEMBLY, The McSweney Association met last evening at Sixty-fifth street and Second avenue and nomi- nated John D.

Mr. Harry G. Pearson, Chairman of the | Board, and Mr. George H. Lounsbery, the Secretary of the Commission, conducted the examinatio: A class of seven aspirants were pre: ol Which, low- ever, only five passed the ordeal, Prior to testing their mental capacity, Dr. Cleveland, one of the Post office Surgeons, made each candidate undergo a physical eXamination as to their bodily fitness tor the position, The contestants who were pro- nounced fit by the Poard, will at once be appointed by Mr, James, subject to confirmation by Post- master General Cresswell.

Since the exposure he has become himself so much atraid of falling into the hands o1 the Philis- tines that he has shaved off a patr of flowing whis- kers, COLONEL WHITLEY IN PURSUIT. The reporter called last might at the oftice of Col- onel Whitley, the Chief of the Secret Service divi- sion, at No. 50 Bleecker street. The bureau scemed deserted, and in reply to the reporter’s question the only answer was i “You cannot find him In this State."” “ds he atter the $500 counterfelters?” “Taat,” answered the clerk, with a smile, ‘1s in- definite.” It is safe to say that Colonel Whitley means to met those counterteiters, The Johnson Bond Forgery Case. The case of James W. Johnson, charged with the negotiation of spurious and forged bonds, came up for hearing yestercay aiternoon, before Justice Shandley, at the Essex Market Police Court. Mr, W. F. Howe appeared for the defendant; Assistant District Attorney Russell appeared for the prose- cution, The defendant, as has been already stated, is a lawyer dqoing -business op Broadway, Williamsburg. For some time past the police of Wiliiamsburg and New York have suspected lim of being implicated in the negotia- tion of spurtous and counterfeit bonds, and recent disclosures in Wall street put the authorities on the track of Johuson. A New York detective paid @ visit to Williamsburg a few days since and ‘‘shad- owed” the accused until he came to tnis city. He took @ boat and followed him across to New York and arrested hima, On being brought to headquarters several forged pouds of the Bur- falo, New York and Erie Railroad Company were | found in the custody of Jonnson, together with about $6,000 In cash, the Ownership of which be was unable satisiactorily to account for. At the request of Asststant District Attorney | Russell, who said he expected additional and stronger evidence forthcoming, the case was ad- Journed unill three o'clock this alternoou, The Alleged Forgeries on the Bank of Havana. Yesterday afternoon a reporter paid a visit to the banking house of Messrs, Taylor & Co., of 11 Wail street, with reference to alleged forgeries on the bills of the Spanish Bank of Havana, One of the firm stated, “We are now refusing to purchase for present (that is, until we know it here are — lorge’ afloat) any of the bills of the bank just mentione and which are of the following denominations $1, $3, $5, $10, $25, £50, $100, $300, $50) and $1,000, The bills were engraved in this aity by the Ameri. can or the Nationa! Bank Note Company, | am not certain which, for we have none on hand at the ign moment, having sent all of those which we ad to Havana to-day. Gold Certificates. Among te wild rumors on Wall street yesterday was one to the eflect that forged gold certificates have been uttered. Upon inquiry at the Gold Ex- change and at the Sub-Treasury the statement was discredited and stigmatized as a hoax. GENERAL BUTLER AND JUDGE HOARS LIT.
