“ NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1874.—TRIPLE “(THE ENGLISH TURF. Ceorge Frederick Wins the “Blue Ribbon.” DERBY DAY. Singular Coincidence—The Horses, Betting and Stakes. Lonpon, June 4, 1874, The greatest race in the world, the English Derby, was run yesterday under the most favor- able circumstances, the attendance being enor- mous, the weather beautiful and the general sport excellent. The “Cockney carnival” has been so often described that I shall not enter into any de- tails ofa non-sporting character relating to the scene on Epsom Downs, but shall merely state thaton the reserved stand were the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and a great gather- ing of the members of the Upper and Lower houses, who, undeterred by the fact that Sir Wilfred Law- 80n had attempted to destroy the custom of ad- Journing Parliament over the Derby day, favored the great race with their presence. THE FIELD that went to the post was an average one in point Dumbers, and, if anytiung, perhaps a little beneath the average in point of quality. The fact that a horse like Couronne de Fer, who comes of arace of non-stayers, aud who, if not a “roarer,” at all events “makes @ noise,” seems to indicate that the three-year-olds of this season are hardly up to the mark, On the other hand, it must be allowed that the private trials of Lord Falmouth’s pair, Atlantic and Aquilo, with Andred, a high class four-year-old, coupled with the places they gained in the race, would make out the first and second to be very good; but, on the whole, the balance of evidence and opinion is the other way. The field did not include some of the BEST TWO-YEAR-OLDS Oflastseason, Among these were Newry, winner ofthe Middle Park Plate, and Spectator, second for that race, who were not entered for the Derby. Marsworth, the most powerful youngster of the year, whoran a dead heat with Couronne de Fer for third place in the ‘plate just referred to, was aisqhalifled by the death of his nominator, Baron Rothschild. Miss Toto, who was at the head of the fillies, was not entered, and Feu d’Amour, her sta- ble companion, recently went hopelessly amiss and could not start. Taking the competitors in the order of the betting, we liave first Glenalmond, Mr. Merry’s solitary representative, out of a num- ber entered. He isa Blair Athol, and, therefore, almost as a matter of necessity, a non-stayer; but he was rusied up in the market, partly because he is good looking and well trained, partiy because all the other prominent candidates labored under suspicion of one sort or another, and partly because the public always supports Mr. Merry’s colors. Aguile, one of Lora Falmouth’s pair, ran Well last season, but cut up very badly in the Newmarket Biennial a few weeks ago. Since then, however, he had been highly triea with Andred—more highly, in the opimion of the trainer, Matthew Dawson, than Atlantic—but the critics did not like him. Couronne de Fer is perhaps the highest class horse that took partin the race; but, 8 noticed above, his breeding is not of a staying kind, and he “makes a noise.” When he first showed symptoms of this: wind disorder some months ago Matthew Dawson, his then trainer, and Mr. Padwick, his then owner, TOOK THE ALARM at once and sold him at auction to Lord Rosebery Jor £2,500 88., greatly below his real value. That he actually “roars” is not yet the case, but he certainly ‘‘whistles.” George Frederick was con- sidered a moderate colt last year, and he showed not very high lorm this season, when his only per- formance was to run third to the deadneaters, Miss Toto and Reverberation, in the Newmarket Biennial. At no time, however, had he been fully prepared, and was now brought out in splen- did condition; but, though he is a good looking horse and well bred, it was rumored that he was lame, and 9 to 1 was obtainable about him. Leo- Mnus, like Atlantic and Aquilo, trained by Matthew Dawson, but in a different interest, was never heard of in connection with the Dei by until he, a few weeks ago, ran second for the Chester Cup; but now there was no horse more admired in the paddock. Atlantic won the Two Thousand Guineas, and ought, therefore, to have been at the head of the market; but on Monday, in the train from Newmarket to Epsom, he . MET WITH AN ACCIDENT, which greatly swelled one of his Knees. Asit turned out he galloped weil enough, but of course itrequired some courage to back him. Lord Fal- mouth never bets a shilling, and his horses ran on their merits. Ecossais was the only representa- tive of the once poweriul Anglo-French stable of M. Lel@vre, but his case was a very doubtful one ever since he was beaten into third place inthe Two Thousand Guineas, and he was not liked either in the paddock or when cantering. He was by far the best two-year-old of last season, and so great was his speed that he was called the “Flying Scotch- man,” after the fastest train that leaves London. Tipster and King of Kent are both the property of Mr. Johnstone, but they were trained in different stables andran each for himself. Tipster once beat Atlantic, but King of Tyne was most admired now. The Vertumna filly, a great raking animal, was not known in connection with the race until Tuesday, when her stable companion, THE GREAT KAISER ‘won the Rous Stakes in fine style and then she jumped from 100 tol to26to 1. Reverberation’s dead heat with Miss Toto mentioned above was a fine performance, but he has since gone slightly lame and now went very ‘dotty’. Rostrevor, | though a handsome horse and finely trained was a moderate performer, and Trent, another of Mat- thew Dawson’s lot is ot up to Derby form thdugh @ wear and tear handy little animal, All the others were nobodies and Volturno was merely started tomake the running for his stable companion jeorge Frederirk. heey SUMMARY.

The flag fell at the first attempt, the first to show in advance was Vertumna, benind whom came Tipster, First Lord, Atlantic, Whitehall, King of Tyne and Selsea Bill, while of the next lot the prominent were Trent, Rostrevor, Glenalmond and Couronne de Fer and the last, a lopg way from the front, were Aquilo and George Frederick. After about 200 yards Vertumna was deprived of command by Tipster, Rostrevor going third, with King of Tyne, Trent, Couronne de Fer and Leolinus next, while George Frederick and Aquilo were now observed drawing closer up. At the furze Ecossais dashed up to Volturno, taking third Place, the next lot consisting of King of Tyne, Aquilo and Rostrevor, while Couronne de Fer, At- lantic and George Freaerick simultaneously im- proved their positions and lay behind them. Tips- ter gave way as they went down the hill for Tat- tenham Corner and King of Tyne, who in succes- sion held the command, followed the example of his stable companion before reaching the Corner. Volturno was thus again left with tne lead, his at- tendants being Ecossais, King of Tyne, Couronne de Fer, Trent, Leolinus, George Frederick and At- lantic. Volturno’s mission was completed when they were fairly in the line for, home, and then George Frederick dashed to the front, with Atlantic on his right and Couronne de Fer on his lett. The race .was now Practically over for Mr. Cartwright’s horse, was never again approached and won in a canter by two lengths from Couronne de Fer, who was a neck in front of Atlantic, Leolinus, Rostrevor, Trent and Aquilo came next, and were so close together that the judge could not say which was fourth, After them were Vertumna filly, Selsea Bill and Algebra, and next Sir Arthur, Tipster, Volturno, Ecossais and Glenalmona, Whitehall, First Lord and Reverberation brought up the rear—the last very shin sore—and Belford did not pass the post. The NET VALUE OF THE STAKES was £5,300, or $26,500, and the race was run in 2:46, Going back the last six years Biue Gown’s time was 2:43; Pretender’s, 2:51; Kingcraft’s, 2:45; Favomus’, 2:50 Cremorne’s, 2:4534, and Doncaster’s, 2:50: but I have no great faith in English timing. In addition to the stake Mr. Cartwright won over £8,000 in bets. He was never before successful in the Derby; but his horse, Albert Victor, brother of George Frederick, ran @ dead heat with King of the Forest benind Favonius. This is the third Derby Custance has won, the previous two having been gained over !hormanby and Lord Lyon. Tne race was notable for a “CURIOUS COINCIDENCE,’ in the fact that yesterday, the 8d of June, on which therace wasrun, was the birthday of Prince George Frederick, second son of the Prince of Wales, after whom the horse 18 named. The Prince—tho father—was good-naturedly ‘‘chaffed”’ on the fact by the Duke of Edinburgh and others standing round him, and it is said that he won a good round sum by backing the namesake of his son. THE FRENCH TURF. Chantilly Races—The Prix da Jockey Club. (Paris (May 31, Sunday) Correspondence of Lon- don News.) The weather to-day was very flne for those who like a scorching sun and tepid breezes, and who do not mind inhaling in a few hours the proverbial peck of dust which should be swallowed in a life- time. Express trains were advertised to ran every half hour, bat it was found necessary to send them to Chantilly every ten minutes. The French Derby draws fewer of the aristocratic classes than the Longchamps Grand Prix, but the attractive power it exercises on the petite bourgeoisie is much greater. Wealthy Bonapartists, who are some of the greatest turf patrons, make a point of not going to Chantilly because the Orleanists are there at home. The Faubourg St. Germain anstocracy keep away for a like reason, Chantilly 1s, there- fore, less iasmonable than Longchamps, and in some respects it 1s less pleasant. There are not the same facilities for seeing the horses led round after saddling. The stands are badly placed, the view ot the course being obstructed by the Orleans Pavilion, which does not Keep the line, but pro- jects forward, to the detriment of the paying pub- lic. The exclusion of the demt-monde is attempted with greater success at Longchamps than at Chan- tiily, where, in fact, Phryne has the best part of one stand all to herself. The toilets, as @ rule, Were extravagant. All the resources of the chromatic gamut were employed by the danseuses des modes aud their too docile followers, The lantasias executed last year in cheap linens and coreons were brought out to-day in silks and velvets, ‘The Royal Stand was less well attended than last year, the Princess Imperial of Brazil, the Duc q@’Aumale, the Prince de Joinville, the Comte de Paris, the Duc de Nemours and the Montpensier family being absent. The honors were done to-day by Louis Plulippe’s only surviving daughter, the Princess Clementine, and the Duc de Chartres, There was quite a bevy of young Bourbon prin- cesses Irom Spain and Naples. The old Court eti- quette was strictly observed in tne disposal of the seats and the general deportment of their Royal Highnesses, their attendants and their courtiers. Exceptions to the rule were made by the Duc de Chartres and the Duc d’Alencon, who ckose to remain, @8 oecame their unilorms, on terms of familar intimacy with several young hussar oftl- cers and twelve month volunteers they had brought with them, THE RACING. There were five events on the card. The The first race, the Prix Dangu, for four-year-olds and up- wards, was interesting because of the long dis- tance, 4,000 metres. Only two started. M. Lefd- vre’s Moissonneur led the first round ot the course, but on the second the Comte Juigné’s Montargis passed him, winning by a length. Two started for the Prix de |’Oise, valuable horses being kept out by the condition that the winner should be sold for 3,000 francs, and if declared to sell for 2,000 irancs allowed five ponte weight. This prize was won by M. Edward Fould’s Milittante, of whose stable more anon. For the third race—Prix Gou- vieux—there were seventeen starters. The winner was Mr. Hurst’s Tresor, who took the lead and Kept it all the way round, And now comes the Prix au Jockey Clal THE FRENCH DERBY by common consent, though not so styled on the card. Mr. Jennings’ Premier Mai continued to be the first favorite up to the starting, notwithstand- ing rumors last night that he had been heard to click in bis gallop, and would probably be scratched. Close de him in public favor was Major Fridolin’s Sabre, certainly the most beauti- ful animal on the course to-day, a noble dark chestnut, with a thin white stripe on the face, in Splendid condition, with great strength and ap- parently faultless paces. Baron Rothschild’s Bien- ville was third favorite. Seventeen started. Ta- bellion, belonging to the good stabie of M. Delattre, made the running at a tre- mendous pace, but when three or four lengths ahead at about a third round the course, he bolted just at @ spot where, stabies peng near, I have seen horses bolt before. Premicr Mai kepta good place the whole time. Sabre did not come towards the front till late in the race. For a while the two favorites seemed neck aud neck, but as the winning post is neared a light chestnut, mounted by a thin jockey, looking like @ wasp, in a black and yellow striped jacket, passes them both, and, alter a desperate struggle, wins by a neck, Whois this horse who has taken all the ones in? tts M. Edward Fould’s Salta- Telle, against whom the odds were 1,000 to 15. Premier Mai_and Sabre were respectively placed second and third. Hunter, the fortunate youn; jockey who piloted Saltarelle, was greatly cheere ART NOTES, The Turner Engravings. The fifth portion of the engravings from the | works of the late J. M. W. Turner, R.

Capital Shooting by the Members at the Annual Meeting. CuHicaGo, June 4, 1874, The Iiinois State Sportsmen’s Association, a body of gentlemen interested in pigeon shooting, the preservation of game, &c., and which probably contains more good shots than any other associa- tion of a similar kind in the country, commenced its annual meeting of four days on tne 2d, when the business meeting was held, About sixty delegates, principally from this city and vicin- ity, were present, The finances of the association were shown to be in a flattering condition, and the prospects that it would achieve a beneficial effect in the extended protection of fish and game particularly bright, {his city was selected as the Place for holding the next annual meeting, and the following gentlemen were elected as office- bearers :— President—Jonn V. Le Moyne, Chicago. First Vice President—J. L. Pratt, Syracuse, Second Vice President—Nathan Doxie, Genesee, Treasurer—Abner Price, Chicago, Secretary—Lutner E. Shinn, Chicago, On the 8d shooting began at Dexter Park, the prizes competed for being the association's cham- pion gold medal, a handsome $200 trophy, a fishing outfit, @ hunting suic and a fishing-rod, The match was open to all members of the associa- tion and shot under its rules, 10 single birds and 5 pairs, H and T traps, 21 yards rise and 80 boundary for singles and 18 and 100 for doubles, 14 02. shot. Filty-four entries were made, the great majority of which were from Chicago. The shooting was in squads of six. On Wednesday the day opened gloomy and showery, but as it wore off, brigntened up, insuring good sport and a large and very Jashionable attendance. The very first squad went vigorously to work, Messrs. T. W. Willmarth and W. Brewster Wilcox dropping their ten singles in fine tashion, but in working on the pairs the former gentlemen fell out, and Mr. Wilcox—two of his birds being brought down at long range in simply magnificent style, reflecting equal credit on gun and marks- man—made a clean score, to the elation of the gun club and the disgust of the talent. John Kleinman was looked to to tie him, but missed an easy bird at the sixth rise, killing all the others, Henry Kieinman had harder fortune, for alter he had made a clean score of singles and knocked over three pairs one Ol the traps on the fourth rise failed to work, and he had to take another pair, of which he missed the first bird. Mr. W. F, Fitch, after scoring 10, missed a bird each in his second and third doubles, and nis immediate successor, Mr. J. F, Whiting, though he missed cleanly his seventh single, shot thence to the finish faultlessly. The succeeding competitors on the first day who gave hopes were Mr. J. R. McCormick and Mr. W. J. Edwards, who each killed all their singles. They were less suc- cessiul, however, on their doubles, Mr. McCor. mick missing his first pair and the second bird of bis fourth and filth pairs, and Mr. Edwards the second bird of his second, fourth and fifth. When shooting Was resumed to-day there were but six to come to score, of whom Mr, Charles Kern and Mr. David Bates were looked upon as the forlorn hope. Mr, Kern killed his ten singles in rat- tling fashion, but missed the first bird of his second, fourth and filth pairs, giving Mr. Wilcox the medal. In shooting of tle ties, Joho Kleinman took the second, being especially fa- vored by two hard-hit birds, who were so good as to gO against the wind and die ere they could reach the boundary.. Mr. Young had a walk-over for the third patie: and Mr. kdwards won the fourth, alter a lively contest. SUMMARY.

Others who appreciate a good game were also treated in the same way.

Now, I would suggest that both grounds, or one o1 them, be open ior play on Saturday to the young men Of the metropolis of all ages, and let those only under sixteen have the grounds Mon- days and Thursdays. plea that there is not enough room ts absurd, as there 1s plenty in the Park, and more could be added, if necessary, In Prospect Park tue order of things is diferent and the grounds are free to everybody.

Columbia College and Her Work to Secure the Prize. THE,UNIVERSITY CREW. Any afternoon not soggy and damp, during the past six weeks, the hundreds who satl up and down the Harlem or cross the bridges that span that stream near the head of Third avenue, could have seen reading or resting in front of the least unpretentious, yet large and roomy, boat house in the centre of the Harlem rowing settlement, the six stalwart fellows who are toman the Colum- bia’s shell in the coming University race at Sara- toga. It has been a pretty scene to see these cheerful-hearted, crop-haired, sunburned, shining- skinned young men, their eyes bright as womens’, resting from arduous rowing practice. They have presented @ picture of self-denial ana stern exact- ness, of bone ahd muscle of the hardest nature, the result of judicious training, to prepare them- selves for the great struggie, that has been extremely Pleasing and an em- phatic endorsement of their chaste and tem: perate life in the interval. Here at this locality well known to all the students, one could have alse seen on any fine day many young lads who inherit some of the proudest names in the land, watebing the men in their practice boat ana out of it, who are expected to win further fame for their darling University. In this edifice stored with boats, some of them so fragile that they look as if of woven wood, the all-absorbing theme during the period referred to was the coming race. They have discussed muscular Christsanity tn frank ringing tones, and the junior members of the hun- dred and one gatherings of this kind have ever lis- tened with respectful attention to those whom they knew possessed more knowiedge than themselves of the rowing code. Such as these were pleasant times of harmony and work, but now the smooth waters of tue Harlem will miss the blades of Uo- lumbia’s six, a8 Saturday these sunny faced men and two substitutes packed their boats and traps and left ior Saratoga the fixed resort this summer of emulous under. graduate muscle. Before they are lollowed there a word or two that caused the interesting spurt of generous rivalry now existing at Columbia, as well as at the most of our American universities in the matter of boating, may not be inappro- priate. COLUMBIA'S BOATING RECORD. In the month of November, 1872, a handful of athietes in the School of Mines, after consultation With old oarsmen, who coincided with them as to its entire practicability, founded a beat club, elected officers and raised money guffictent to give them life and courage to continue the vexatious attempt to thoroughly develope in tne college the pastime of rowing. Never abashed, these young men worked, individually and collectively, with a wil fall of power and strength to the grand end in view, and Saturday had so much of their reward as to be active participants in the departure of their second University crew for the scene of '74 aquatic battle, bearing away with tiem the assurances of friends and the hopes of hundreds, So soon as the club formed in the School cf Mines was an as- sured success, the Academie students, emulating their action and believing as firmly as tneir fellows in the matter of educated muscle, started @ sumilar organization, and alter firmly establishing it the two consolidated on a well defined basis, and under the one flag of the Columbia Navy were willing to work. The new movement reached the ears of the faculty and then those of the trustees, who in the amplitude of their brains at once saw that the greater the number of their young men who were initiatea into the manly art of rowing, the more the physical standard of the college would be improved, and the more would the no- bler ana intellectual qualities of each be devel- oped. So, perceiving this virtue in the amusement ol boating, they quietly met one alternoon and talking over the matter officially, concluded to put their hands into the treasury of the college ud present the ambitious oarsmen with $1,000, which they modestly did, with their best wishes for the success o1 the organization. With that sum and little more added, the stout hearted Columbia boys found time to select their present location on the Harlem and build the structure they now oc- cupy. With its completion the happiness of the navy Was well assured, and these young men of brains and social position went still more gamely 40 Work to make themselves rivals of the rowing students of sister seats of learning. ‘ney ob- served and studied methods with ali their youth- ful entuusiasm af every possible opportunity, and seemed animated with a determination to achieve @ foremost position sooner or later. The Tesult of this avowed purpose is seen in the flourishing condition of the navy, the tremendous interest the students manifest in the rowing rivalries of the many universities and their improved manner of handling the “spruce.”? Honest effort to understand the right iH Brusiples of rowing was and is their aim, and though they difer in style with some who claim theirs is not calculated to secure many victories they have followed implicitly one guide, who 1s, no doubt, fully competent to fit them for the race. He knows what it would be to gain the laurel, and is working gallantly to hammer the endurance and Pluck under lis control into the right shape, The boating Interests of the college now so popular and have taken such a firm foothold that the navy has the entire list of students enrolled as members, and their property includes the follow- ing:—Three six-oared cedar shells, ranging from 49° and 60 feet in hh 18 21 inches wide; one six-oared paper shell, 49 feet by 20 inches; one pair-oared shell; one double scull working boat; one tour-oared gig, with coxswain; one six-oared gig, with cox- swain; One four-oared shell and several singles, the property of members, ‘The officers of the Colum- bia Navy are as follows:—President, Edward Ss, Rapallo, ’74 Ac., of New York; Secretary, Jonn H. Purdy, 45 Ac., of New York; Treasurer, Charles R. Buckley, '74 Ac., of Brooklyn, N. Y. COLUMBIA'S FIRST UNIVERSITY CREW. Prompted by the same antbitious feeling that had nerved them along to that time tn the prose- cution of their rowing exercise, the older mem- bers of the association in the winter of 1872 elt assured that there were among them six good men and true, who could creditavly represent their alma mater in the following year’s University aquatic reunion on the connec cut at Springfield, and enthusi- asticaliy determined that Columbia should thus make a record for herself. They did so, as every oarsman in the country well knows. Pick- height and of the requisite temperament for the arduous Work of training, tue crew, under the cap- taincy of Mr. B. Frank Kees, went to work. Faith- fully they did their duty and observed the rules laid down for their guidance in the matter of diet and exercise, and fmaily left New York tor Spring- fleld, sangaine yay would not be last in the race. Up to thetr arrival on the Connecticut, in charge of the old veteran, Hank Ward, tuey had pro- ressed SO satistactorily they hardly believed any diMeuities could possibly imtervene, and ten days betore the contest, were set down by good and competent judges as tne pictures of excellent health aud fit to un- dergo the pitiless test of struggling with ten other crews, animated with the same burnin; desire to win the coveted prize. That perio prior to the race brought about a change. Out on their el pull, and the occasion will never be forgotten by the members of the crew, the Am- herst shell pulled by the lusty Massachusetts boys collided with their tiny crait and its tragile side was crushed like an eggshell, Through the wood, roughly Cig the fibres, it sped and never stopped until it hit, with all the full force of a cleaver hurled with giant hands, the side of Rapallo, who was pulliifg the port walst oar, and, while iv Knocked him senseless, tore jour terrible gashes deep into the flesh, irom which the blood | poured in great quantities. Ashore the boat was hurriedly taken, the injured mau carried toa neighboring residence, surgeons called, ana the wounds dressed. For two days and nights tender hands bathed the bruised and | torn body, until at last, the day betore the strug- | gle, the indammation greatly subsided,’ when the injured oar decided to roW in the race. In vain his iriends entreated, and useless were the pre- dictions that the excitement might sacrifice his life. It was his determination to do his part in the great struggle, and the momentous occasion arriving he left his room, took-is old place in the shell, rowed the racg, and the crew crossed the finish the fourth boat, beaten only by Yale, Wes- leyan and Harvard, with six others far behind. And this in Rapatio’s condition! Will men ma of such materiai, 6uch undaunted pluck and wi ‘wavering nerve as 1s found in the everlasting Ra- pallo always be easily beaten? Do you under- stand, O ye unmuscular Christians, or begin giim- meringly to perceive, something of the virtue that clings to this business of rowing? The grew, thus made up, was 0. DeB, Moore, bow; Oliver D. Smith, A, B, Simonds, 6, S. Ra- pallo, R. ©, Cornell; B. F. Kees, stroke. They re- turned deleated, but not dejected; and tmime- diately upon the resumption of studies last au. tamn Captain Rees began to analytically examine the whole situation and shape his ideas to practl- cally solve tne question uppermost in his mind— “How shall we get @ better crew for next year?’ In the college the crew of '73 were (aid honored and prai for their exhibition o! ing Out the men of the best muscle, right age, good | courage when { Queen everyting Was against them, aud, in the estima | past Mine on Saturday evening, SHEET. tion of their fellows, there one of the mem- bers but was & hero for that Ce. PREPARING FOR ‘74, Captain Rees at last marked out the course of this year’s business, and as one man the can accepted for the preliminary trial went diligen' to work in Wood’s gymnasium. Rees, Rapallo and Corneil, old favorites, were retated for the same positions they filled so creditabiy last year. At every Sepceseeey these men, emulous of aquatic tame, did their utmost to put themselves in that piss! condition necessary to commence the jaber of regular training, and at last the vacant seats were finally filled and two substitutes selected, who have worked diligently with the six since the organization of the crew. These men, as the writer has seen them repeatedly in the boat house and once or twice on the river, are as an- pened and as they will occupy seats in the racing shell :— Bow—Philip Timpson, 8. of M., of New York; age, 22; height, 6 ft. 114, in.; weight, 169 Ibs, ‘Port bou—Jasper Goodwin, '76, Ac., of New York; age, 24; height, 5 ft. 11 in.; weight 160 ibs, Starboard Waist—James 8.

Yacht Fleetwing, N.Y.Y.C., Mr. Warner, from Oyster Bay for New York, passed Whitestone yes- terday. The fourth annual and first union regatta of the Oceanic Yacht Club will be sailed on Monday, June 29, The yachts will be divided into three classes, ‘The course for the first and second class will be from a stakeboat off the New Jersey Central Rail. road Dock, passing between two islands down to the Romer, turning from west to east and back to the home stakeboat. The course for the third class will be from the stakeboat off the Central Railroad, passing between the two islands down to Cam Buoy, off Robbins’ Reef Light, and thence to stakeboat off Bay Ridge Dock and back to home stakeboat. Entries can be made to Benjamin By- weight, 168 Ibs Port Waist. ward S, Rapallo, '74, Ac., of New York; age, 21; height, 5 ft. ae weight, 104 Ibs, Starboard Stroke—Robert C.

From the sinewy bow to une wiry stroke, there is the roundness of torm, the perfect and defiant appear- ance of the athlete, seli-conscious of power and strength. Cornell, who pulls starboard stroke, is the heaviest of the number, weighing 180 pounds and is 81x feet hign and twenty-one years of age. He has the figure olf an Achilles and the manners of a well bred gentlemen. In the struggle on Lake Saratoga he will be among the first to respond to any summons from Captain Rees, doing his whole duty and faltering not. First among the oarsmen in the college, he has demonstrated that the pastime is not incompatible with a student's duty, as he was the orator of ’14 on class day, recently held. Rapallo, too, isa man o! wire and endur- ance, and more like @ powerful athlete, who mea- sures brawn for @ living, than a graduate of @ few days, Those who know him are not airaid of bis oar in_ the Columbia's boat. Timpson, who has the respensible bow oar in bis possession, and who directs the shellin the contest to victory or deleat, is painstaking and intelligent even as he is a fair oarsinan. Of the right height and good weight, ne wiil, no doubt, ee his excellent Work prove the wisdom of the choice which placed him in that seat. Goodwin and Wells are likely looking men, and it is play- fully remarked that parc of Goodwin's few troubles is to keep him supplied with ‘spruce spoons.” In Captain Rees there is the appearance of 4 gentle- man full of pluck, of cool judgment ana the pecultar ability to keep such a crew as hts in strict aisci- Dhue. Quick and unobtrusive, his bronzed face carries with 1t determination and resolution. What there is of aquatic worth in hig men Captain Rees willcertainly bring out. The substitates— Seligman and Griswold—were chosen after ex- tended practical tests, and are endorsed as weil fitted jor the duties that may be assigaed them. ODDS AND ENDS. The training pursued by Columbia is not essen- tially different from that of the other University crews. They eat of good but course food, and eschew all stimulating topics, exceps, perhaps, an occasional glass of ale. Everytuing in the pasiry line and the use of tobacco in any form is pre- hivited. Bathing is permitted, but remaining long 1n the water is deemed unwise. Great improvement during the latter part of the pe week Was visible in the rowiug of the crew. tis evident they will endeavor to do without much beauty, but rely upon the power which they unquestionably have in the boat, and which Uap- tain Rees believes, if judiciously applied, ‘will tell its own story.” The new racing shell of the Columbias ts from the hands of Thomas Fearon, of Yonkers, and is of the following dimensions:—Length, 49 leet 6 inches; width, 21 inches; depth, 814 inches; bow, 6% inches; stern, 5 inches; materiai, Spanish cedar. ‘The crew lave also ordered a paper shell and will give ita trial, using in the race the one they like best. Saturday, as before referred to, the Columbias ran down their fi over the pleasant boathouse on the Harlem, aud, with the sheils required, left jor Saratoga in the aiternoon, in a palace car. ‘They expected to reach their quarters yesteraay, and will launch their practice boat on the lake to- day. Their training place is at Ingram’s, near the foot of Snake Hill, @ very retired and qniel spot, The students and alumui of the college will make their headquarters at Congress Hall. Columpia’s colors in the race will be bine and White—biue shirt, white drawers and blue and white handkerchiels, YACHTING. The Columbia Yacht Club Regatta To-Day.

Yacht Race from Kingstown to Doug- las, Isle of Man. [From the Liverpool Post, May 26.] It was blowing so hard from the southeast on Friday afternoon that at half-past three it was start on the intended race trom Kingstown to Douglas. For various reasons the committee were mately it was decided to adhere to she origiual in- tention of finishing the race at Douglas. whe fol- lowing yachts had entered:—The Speranza, Vera, Mabel, Britannia, Kilmeny and Stephanos. Of these, at four o’clock, only two—the Mabel and Speranza—were ready for’ off. At five o'clock, | however, the following three started :— Owner, Tonnage. «HL Walter Todd ve BD Speranza. Mr. 8 At the time of the start there was very little wind, only a light breeze from the south, with heavy rain. The yachts ietched in towards Howth, and then the wind died of to a dead calm, which lasted for fully four hours, and consequentiy scarcely any progress was made. About five o’clock on Saturaay morning the yachts were of Carlingford, and a iresh breeze came on from the east. At daybreak it was found that the Mabel Jed by about three miles, the Speranza and Vera being close together astern, About half-past eight they stood tn jor Mullarton,@ point in under the mountains of Mourne, and about this time the wind wentround to the northeast, After two or three tacks under the land here the yachts stood off forgthe Calf of Man. The wind at this time was fresheving very much; indeed, so much thatthe Vera was soon lost sight of, and it was Spal pceaeee that she must have taken refuge tn Carlingford Lough; and even on ihe Mabel it was as muchas she could do to carry a jib-headed topsail to windward. From Mullarton Point to the Calf of Man isa distance of thirty-five miles, aud the iresh northeast breeze carried all the wa: to within ut ten miles of the Calf, It then fell off, and again came on ramy and thick. At seven o’clock on, Saturday evening Langness Point was Mabel saw the Speranza coming up through the fog. Both vessels at this time were carrying their spinakers on the bowsprit. At this time the wind changed todead ahead, and both vessels hurried down their spinakers, The Mabel was the first to get the sail in, and, unfortunately. the Speranza, in getting hers in, carried away her topmast. e yachts were then abreast of Langness, the | Mabel leading by fully two miles. After a dead beat up, the Mabel rounded the mark-boat off the Victoria Pier, Douglas Bay, six minutes we Speraza ar very doubtful indeea whether the yachts could | anxious to alter the course to Holyhead, but ulti- | made, and shortly afterwards those on board the | ron, No. 32 Amity street, New York. THE COURTS. The court room yesterday morning was filled with the usual Sunday morning assemblage. Some curiosity mongers, others complainants and others friends of unfortunates whose Saturday night con- vivialities had involved them % unpleasant relae tions with the poilce, Another Purposeless Raid. Candido Valdez keeps a saloon at No. 211 Woos ter street, which is frequented principally by Cubans. Some two weeks ago a man named Gonzales was stabbed there. Saturday night Captain Williams, of the = Ennghth precinct, selected the place for one of his customary ratds, and forthwith eight unfortunate Cubans, who were innocently enjoying themselves, were im- mured in a police station. Yesterday morning, on arraignment before Justice Morgan, they were at once discharged. ’ James Brady and George Roulette were placed at the bar in charge of OMficer Crinion, of the Twenty-ninth precinct. These young men were accused of assaulting and robbing David McAdam, on Saturday night, and outraging his wife, Maggie McAdam, on the 15th of April last. Tne prisoners were not over twenty years, ang, it seems, are members of one of the gangs which infest the Seventh avenue and give so much trouble to the police. They were each held in $3,000 to answer at the General Sessions, Where Mr. O’'Toole’s Wages Went. James O'Toole, of No. 68 Sullivan street, was wending his way homeward yesterday morning, when he sat down to rest awhile in Washington square. While enjoying his repose a man named John Williams came up and sat beside him. Alter @ lew minutes Williams suddenly attacked U’Toole and, throwing him upon the grass, robbed bim of $9 50. Oficer McDermott, of the Fifteenth pre- cinct, hearing his oOuteries, ran to his assistance and arrested his assailant. Williams was held in $1,000 to answer. A Boyish Freak. Two boys hamed James McKeon and Otto White jumped into an empty wagon standing in Twenty- ninth street, near Third Avenue, and drove of with it. ‘they were held in $1,000 each to answer. Highway Robbery. About half-past five o’clock Saturday morning A. B. Farrington, of No, 224 West Twenty-ninth street. was assaulted by a man giving his name as John H. Poliemus and robbed of $65. Farrington falled to appear yesterday morning, and Polhemus was remanded to the station house. COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY, CouRT OF APPEALS—AT ALBANY-—Nos, 83, 32, 8434, 77, 28, 105, 108, 109.
