: | GARDNER AND CHARLICK. The Public Feeling as to Their “Resignation.” THE KELLY LETTER. Mayor Havemeyer, Ex-Commissioner Rus- sell, Commissioner Duryee and Ex-Sen- stor O'Brien on the Situation. ‘The chief topic of conversation yesterday about town everywhere was the Charlick-Gardner resig- Ration question and Sachem John Kelly’s letter, Published in the HERALD yesterday. The politi- @ians were, of course, the most active in their speculations about the probable resuits, and, strange as (t may seem, the feeling of the majority, which was dead against the two convicted Com- Missioners, was not a partisan one, but partook rather of a right-against-the-wrong aspect. It is but matural that a few democrats should feel somewhat Of satisfaction, simply because be was a republican, Over what they consider the downf/all of Gardner, wut, judging from the general talk at the hotels and wherever politicians were met with by the HERALD reporter, there were quite as many re- pablicans who expressed joy over the riddance of the man from the Police Department as there were @emocrats. it was noticeable that the republi- ans who trank'y declared that the riddance was forced to craw) out of office, looked upon their erawling out, of Gardner especially, as a neceasity for the party; but, as has been said, the large pro- portion took a non-partisan view of the case, At the Fifth Avenue Hotel in the evening the question ‘was talked over by nearly everybody who in any ‘way manilests any interest in the affairs ofthe city | government; and many of those present were members from across the way, the Union League | Clud. Several expressed themselves A GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH Were men ofa different stamp than the ordinary riff-ram, who depend for their bread and butter, or rather make it their profession to have their ex- istence depend upon the winks and nods of Cus- tom House wirepullers. They were men who look More to principle than to the success of ‘the party” by bad means, and who think so much of the name republican that they do not care to Rave it dragged in the mire to serve the Dehest of any clique or clan. There were a few republicans, it is true, who, while glad that the two men had been a8 Inclined to look upon the situation as one wuere ‘there was a political grab to be made by either Tammany or the Custom House, at all events; but they gave this opinion in such a gingerly way that it was quite evident that they were only trying to e up thelr minds to a thing they had but little faith in. It was not only the resignation of the two Commissioners and THE KELLY LETTER that brought out the most vehement comment; for the rumor that Mr. Havemeyer intended to ‘reappoint the convicted duo appeared to raw iorth the deepest expressions of feeling. The idea of the Mayor doing such a preposterous thing was looked upon generally as @ big joke, but not @ lew were inclined to believe that the queer old map was capable of doing anything. no matter bow preposterous it might be, so long as he once this “Dutcn’ up about any particular project. "But if he should reappoint these men,” saida Prominent republican politician, who never had @uy patronage to ask for at of the Poltce Commissioners the way, was a “he wil them no good, but he will place himself tn a posi- tion where he himself may stand in dread of the law’s penalties, and I will be one of the first to openly denounce him.” He then added:—“But I hardly’ think he will do such @ monstrous wrong, for he must know, as we all know, that the people are terribly /n earnest 1n this matter of good city oMcers and the purity of the ballot box, and will stand no nonsense. They stood it long enough in the days of Tweed. They don’t want their past experiences Te-experienced under even the guise of reiorm.' It was at Police H ‘ters, however, that the feeling as to the “re: ion” of tne Commission- ers Was Dot all on one side, On the surface there was no excitement, and everybody went along with bis work as usval; yet the practised observer could aot but feel that there wag a sense of awe perading, the whole building which was as omi- fous aa the dead calm that precedes the stori There Was no loud talking, no Custom House pol ticlans scrambiing op the stairs to “see Hugh; for they knew well that had they called to gaze .once more upon his counte- mance as a Commissioner, ana obtain a few little political favors at his hand: they would have had to weep, like Rachel ai for her children, because they were not to be had for love or money. The clerks were wise in their day, as clerks who look to political patrons for thelr places usually are, and so, when questioned as to what they thongbt of the situation, they shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders and sata eg 2 Despite themselves, however, those of them who have been held in place by.the two now sorely troubled Commissioners (7) could Mot help looking unutterable things. Still there was one exception to the rule, and that was Matsell and nis gold spectacies. They ‘Were both serene looking, and the specs, probably, showed the old gentieman’s eyes in a happier glit- ter than ever to the looker on, simply because they khew that the man who had made them both to look upon the Superintendent's office as their own ould not appoint anybody who would, not stand by the Chief at all hazards. But Police headquar- ters as an eptirety were 1D an uncertain mood, and will be in an uncertain mood until all those who are inthe department know who is who in the Commissioners’ rooms. As for the feeling of the general public, so far as it could be ascertained, @mong republicans and democrats alike who are not hangers on to either party’s kite tail, it was one of relief that Gardner and Charlick had re- signed and of indignation at the mere idea of their reappointment, Views of Ex-Commissioner Russell. Ex-Commissioner Russell was cailed upon by a BERALD representative at his place of business, No. 809 Broadway, and was courteously received. On ascertaining the reporter’s errand to be to as- certain what he had to say in relation to Mr. Kelly’s letter, particularly in relation to those por- téons which referred to him directly, he expressed his willingness ‘o give his views frankly. He sald :— “When I was appointed a Police Commissioner [ ‘Was appofiited without having sought the office, anid I went to the ventral Headquarters to do my duty faithfully to the people; with tne @eme intention, in fact, that any honest man would have in taking the position of director ina bank—of doing his duty to the bauk and its de- tors. However, I had-not been there over a ‘week or 80 beiore [had my eyes opened to the fact that @ combination had been made by Commission- era Smith, Gardver and Charlick. Commissioner Duryee and myself were utterly ignored, and Were done and carried out against our 8, With the same indifference as though we ot Commissioners at ail. I protested, but im vain. Those three men were the masters, and 1 soon sew that they intended that self-interest ‘was to bave as much to do with the ranning of the department as the interest of the public—in fact, great deal more so. Thi: te of things continued Until Mr. Smith's death. After that vhartick found that he could mot carry things on with #0 @ hand ag belore, and he became more tract- able, Mr, Gardner toid me that, no matter who ‘the new Commissioner was to be, he would be the next President of the Board, and, learning that Mayor Havemeyer had seen to tnat, for the sake of peace and harmony in the Board, and with the view of arranging the coumittees, I voted for Mr. Gardner. Long before he was elected, however. I had called upon Mr. George F. Andrews, who had been nominated to dill the vacancy caused by lemise, and toia him I noped he would confirmed by tne Board of Aldermen, that. he wonld become the President,” “Now, Mr. Russell,” queried the reporter, ‘will you be kind enough to tell me what you know ‘Of the Meeting of the Board of Police on the day before election—the 8a of November?” “There never was a meeting held that day. I Sates ie. ian ne until R. /f-past er was hel ing was sa: about it the next day to Ss od omega | “Now, a8 @ Meeting on t! hen Sheri- a was removed? it n rh: “There was no meeting of the Board tnat day at all, and this 1 am willing to make solemn amine tion to at any time. The tact is, everything that day was done irregularly, and smith, Charlick and Gardner acted as they pleased. There was no call for @ meeting of the Board and whatever whatever, Was done was not done by the Board, but by these three men, as they passed in and ont from one another's rooms, And yet Messrs. Gardner and Charlick claim that the Board was in Servers seasion all th . There was no legal session at ail. ‘Thi real history of the matter, and what- ever, therefore, was done in the name of the Board was the work of only a portion of it. The law distinctly specities what a meeting of the Board must be, and the law was on that day vio- lated most flagrantly. 1 was in the building from & quarter after nine in the morning till late night, and | repeatedly went into Mr. Smith’ and Mr. Onarlick’s rooms, There were crowda Of persons in both, but there was no sign of not only be doing 4 foolish act that can do | NEW YORK HERA & meeting at any time of the day. In ali my ex- ence t never sa¥ or weard tell of @ public y conducting public business with such reckless disregard of jaw a3 did the Board of Police in those days. Just think of it! There is a little room off the one Mr. Smith used to occupy and a barber's chair was rigged up in it, There Mr. Smith and ick were wont to have their shaving done. ne have actually been held of the Board with Mr. Smith or Mr. Uharlick in the barber’s chair undergoing the barber’s handiwork. Thus was the public business o'ten transacted, the member of the Board in the barber's chair having to watt the parber’s turn of the brush or the razor to reply ‘aye’ or ‘no’ when @ vote was taken. nified, wasn't it!’? oa the barber could smother @ vote at times + “Well, {¢ would have been @ blessing if he had very often.”? “Did you ever hear anything more about the re- Moval of those inspectors, Mr, Russell, atter the 4th of November ?” ob yom and it came about rather pecullarly, We had a meeting—i mean the Board—on the 10th ofthe month, mind you, six days after election day. Ail the Commissioners were present. Soon after it had been organized Mr. Charlick came in with a list of names and some loose slips of paper in his hand, He remarked to the clerk of the Board, ‘How avout this, Mr. Hawley? how will we manage this to have these names recorded so as to get them on the minutes of the meetingy’ Mr, Hawley replied: ‘I don’t know un- less you spread them upon the minutes,” Tat once asked: What minutes? Mr. Charlick answered, ‘the minutes of the meeting of the 4th ist? 1 pretended that there was Do meeting hela on that day. He said there was and the minutes would show that he and Mr, Smith, Mr. Garoner and Gen. Duryee were present. Well, on motion of Mr, Charlick the names were put on the minutes of the 4th inst. 4 called for the yeas and when the motion was made, did so Mr. Charlick, shaking his at me threateningly, exclaimed: ‘Mr. Russell you cannot make any capitat oat of this.’ 1 re- oe ‘Mr. Chariick, you cannot intimidate me.’ @ yeas and nays were then taken, and the result was, Of course, myself and General Duryee in the minority, a8 ‘nays.’ Now I noticed one thing avout the slips; some had figures on and others names, As each slip or loose piece of paper repre- sented @ communication irom & precinct, there were only twenty-two pieces of paper, and yet Mr. Coarlick’s list showed forty-nine names, I called his attention to the discrepancy and he remarked that there must be evidence somewhere | that showed it was ail rght. That’s all the light Tever was able to obtain asto that transaction.” “What, Mr. Russell, is your candid opinion ot Mr. Kelly’s letter? “My opinion ia that that is a good and truthfa) record of everything relating to the action of the | Board of Police. I nave read it very careiully and I believe it to be an exceedingly fair statement.”? The conversation was then closed by Mr, Russell stating that he dia not consider the trial of Mr. Gardner and Mr. Charlick @ partisan one, inasmuch as republicans and democrats alike were inter- | lated the law; “and,” said he, “be he democrat or republican, no Commissioner who violates the law should be sbielded by political influence any more than the humblest citizen; and now that in the case of Messrs, Chatlick and Garaner outraged law: has been vindicated, I hope and trust the Mayor will fil their Fond with men who will act for the interests of the people only. I have spoken to eminent lawyers about the cuse, and they have all, with one accord, agreed that the moment the two Commissioners were convicted that moment they ceased to be Commissioners; therefore, that their resignations were s superdufty and a sham. In tact, I bave heard it from very eminent legal authority that, by their conviction, they can never again hold any oMice of trust under the city. So the Mayor’s reappointing them would be an 1i- legal act. However, I hardly think he would dare commit such a crime as to reappoint them. Views of Commissioner Duryee. Commigsioner Duryee, on being called upon by a HERALD commissioner, relative to his views on the general situation and the Kelly letter, refused Positively to talk at any great length on either subject, but consented to answer two questionr— one as to the letter and another as to tne meeting 01 the Police Board on the 34 01 November last, He said:. aug letter of Mr. Kelly is a very j | fair one, an think, so far as my reé- | collection goes, is @ just statement of the | way things were managed and done here at Police Headquarters a !ew days before the elec- tion and on election day. The statement that Mr. Kelly makes that in the presence of Commissioners | Smith, Charlick and Gardner—that Commissioner Russell and myself tola Mr. Kelly and those who came to protest against the way the removal of the inspectors was being carried out that we wished justice done, but that we were overruled by our Colleagues, is the absolute truth. Commis- sioner Russeli aud myselt did all we could to have everything done fairly, but we were in @ hopeless minority. ‘What Mayor Havemeyer Said. Mayor Havemeyer, in an interview with a re- porter of the HERALD yesterday afternoon, said | that he should not appoint any Commissioners o¢ | Polee that day, He had not sufficiently consia- | ered the subject, ana tne weather was too warm to be in any hurry about so important a matter as | that of Police Commuasionerships. After relieving | Dimsclf o! this communication His Honor walked away to the meeting of the Board of Apportion- ment. What Ex-Setiutor James O’Brien Says. Ex-Sherif O,Brien was found last evening seated in the large parlors ot the Andrew Jackson Club, corner of Thirtieth street and Lexington avenue. The HERALD representative entered at once into | the spirit of bis visit, and asked Mr. U’Brien rela- tive to Mr. John Fes Jetter puullaned that day in the paper, in which frequent disparaging allu- sions had been made to the ex-Sheruf bimsell. “I bave nothing at all to say in regard to that mat- ter,” remarked Mr. O’Srien, ‘other than that I propose to ‘let it pass heediessly, It cannot arm me, and I place no importance whatever in hes coming from such @ source. ‘This is not the time mor the occasion to enter into any discussion, My time will come, and the people of the city will then be able to decide between Mr, Keily and me. In fact I have only casually glanced over the letter, and did not think it of suficient importance to peruse it carefully, as political let- ters are always sure to be one-sided, and the peo- ple do not place any confidence whatever in them. ‘he passages referring particularly to Mr. O’Bri- en’s action in the removal and appointment of in- spectore of election were then read to that gentle- man, when he laughed boisterously, and looked ok the matter as too trivial entirely tor his at- tention, John Kelly’s Views. Mr. John Kelly, the Grand Sachem of Tammany, and one of the prime investigators of the late pro- ceedings against Commissioners Gardner and Charlick, in answer to numerous questions put to | him by @ representative of the HERALD, made the | sonowing statement:— “There can, I think, be no donbt whatever that Messrs. Gardner and Chantick ceased to be Police Commissioners so soon a8 their conviction was recordéd in the late trial, and it needed but the ofMicial notification from the Governor to the | Mayor, who has the appointing power, for their places to be filled by the latter's appointment. This notification of the vacancy in the Board by the Governor would necessarily tollow upon the record of their conviction being forwarded to him, as 18 provided by 1aw, and he has no option in the matter whatever. This 1s the view I take of the case, and I am borne out by the opinion of several | prominent lawyers whom J have consulted, THR LETTER OF RESIGNATION which they sent to the Mayor was o1 no avail, for they had no ofice to resign. It was merely a piece of buncombe by which they endeivored to gain public sympathy, and was sent, I believe, to relieve the Mayor of any embarrassment he might teel, and to afford him sn opportunity to reappoint them, asi nave no doubt he will do. Shouid he, however, be so blind to all sense of public yonesty and decency a4 to allow his personal feelings to carry him a@ay, and attempt io place these two men again in office, the result will be that he, him- if, will, in my Opinion, violate his oath of office and be liable to indictment or removai by the Gov- ernor. Should he reappoint Gardner and Char- lick Lek ty will at once be commenced against him by the Attorney General, while at tie same time every legal ‘means will be resorted to in order to prevent them irom exercising any functions of once until their right go-to du has been fully determined by the courts. That oe Will be debarred from holding office I have no doubt, for they were convicted of misde- meanor ana rapped a Sentence was passed upon them. This, as tne law deciares, clearly pre- El | esas ever holding any oficial position tn NO PAY FOR THE POLTOR. “AS Tnatrers stand at present there 1s no Board of Police Commissioners, and inasmuch as there is no quorum to be obtained by which any acta of gov- ernment may be performed, and until the Mayor fills the vacancies now existing, the control of the force devolves upon the Superintendent, The cap- tains, sergeants and patroimen, as well as ail the other bon ag hd of the Commission will unfortunately, tn ali Foner , be the greatest sufferers py cts complication of affairs, tor unless the Board is made up to its full number by Wednes- day next, the 1st of the month, there will be no one who can receive the money from the Oomp- troller, or who can draw % with which the ‘h’s salaries Can be paid, Oliver Charlick was the Treasurer of the Board, and as he is now ous of office there is no one authorized to act in“the premises. It therefore becomes a question whether Commissioners Daryee and Disbecker will ask the banks to advance the necessary junds on their personal guarantee, and, further, and equaily important, whether the banks will be willing to accept the risk. It is to be hoped that some steps will be devised to prevent the hardships and in- convenience which will be occasioned to the ten on the force if they do not ive their pay as usual. Many of them have lai families to ‘sup- port and they should be promptly paid. TARE WAR STILL TO GO ON. i “With regard to the three other indictments | ested in the‘prosecation of the men who had vio- | against Messrs, Gardner and Charlick J have only to say that they will undoubtediy be tried. There ig no Intention whatever of entering a noUe prose- qui, as those gentlemen have insinuated. On the trial of these cases such developments will be made as 1 thing will astonish the public.” Commissioner Dishecker. In an interview held yesterday, by a Hematp representative, with Commissioner Disbecker, at the City Hall, that gentleman, in answer to tne queries propounded to him, stated that he had really but little to say with regard to the affairs of the Board of Police. He had, he saia, no oficial notice of Commissioners Gardner and Charlick having sent to tne Mayor their resignation from the Board, aithough he had seen what purported to be @ letter to that effect in the newspapers. As to whether tney ceased to hold office after their conviction on Friday last he was not pre- pared to venture an opinion, but he had been informed by counsel that such was the Indubitabie fact. He had, he stated, come down town in order to see the Mayor upon the subject and to hear his decision in the case. The Mayor, however, was engaged st the Board of Apportionment and could not be seen, present moment really no Board of Police, for whether the late convictions affected the tenure of office of Messrs, Gardner and Charlick or not the tact (if true) of their having sens in their resigna- tion still rema'ned. This did not need acceptation by the Mayor, tor from the ‘moment of its being sent to him they were no longer Commissioners, ‘Therefore, until new appointments to fill the va. cancies were made no bustueas could be done by tue two Commissioners, General Duryee and him- self, that is, looking towards apy exercise of the legislative functions of the Commission. ‘hen questioned on the point as to what would be cone im the matter of paying off the men at- tached to the department Mr. Disbecker sald he did not see what could be done, for there is no one empowered to either receive or disburse the money appropriated for the use of the department. He dia not propose to act in the matter other than in the regular way and would not be inclined to ask the banks to advance funds on his own respon- sibility to meet the demand of the monthly pay rolis which should be distributed on the ist inst. A requisition had been made on the Comptroller for funds, ‘This was drawn ap on Thursday last after the trial of Gardner and Charlick and was signed by himsell, General Duryee ard Mr. Gard- ner. No response had been made to that requisi- tion by the Comptroller. He thought the threat- ening complications could easily be avoided if the Mayor would only appoint some competent gentle- man to one of the vacant seats, which would give the Board @ quorum sufficient to meet the present emergency. If this was done even by Wednesday morning there need be no difficulty and tne men could get toeir money as usual. If not he could see no other way than to keep the men waiting, which would, of course, be entailing considerabie sutier- ing and hardship upon them. However, should the Mayor reap joint Messrs. Gardner and Char- lick, said Mr, Disbecker, and they be restraiwed by injunction from exercising any duties pertain- ing to the office of Commissioners of Police he did not see what could be done except to await the decision of the courts, in which case the employés and, in fact, all the men under the contro of the department would be compelled to wait jor their money. Possibly some means might be devised by which the difficulty could be overcome, but at present he could see none. In concluding the in- terview Commissioner Disbecker mentioned one significant fact, which was that since Thursday Jast no session of the Board had been held, and on Friday last, the usual day for meeting, no one was present but General Duryee and himself. This He considered that there was at the | ‘Was the first occasion since he had been appointed | Commissioner on which there had been no quorum. Colonel Ethan Alien on the Situation. Colonel Ethan Allen was yesterday visited in order that his views, from a legal standpoint, in regard to the condition of the Board of Police Com- missioners, a8 affected by the trial of Messrs. Gardner and Charlick, might be obtained. He ex- pressed himself as tollows:— “Ihave not thoroughly examined the statutes or the charter bearing upon tnis question, but, judging from the extracts and quotations I have read in the HERALD, I am decidedly of opinion that as these two Commissioners, were convicted of a misdemeanor and subsequently sentenced, although only by a@ fine, tlieir office became vacated by the operation of a law which in such a case expressly 80 provides, Their case is analo- gous to that of the Commissioners of Charities in Brvoklyn. The Governor, as a natural juence to the proper carrying out of the provisions of the law, should in due course re- ceive the oMicial certification of their conviction from the Court before which they were tried, and it would follow that he has no bdo but to notity the Mayor, who is the appointing power, of the vacancies existing, when {t wouid equally become his duty to make new appointments in order that the provisions of the charter may be complied with and carried out. 1¢ thereiore loliows that Jetter of resignation sent to the Mayor by jessra. Gardner and Charlick was not only useless, but could not be acted unon in any y by the Mayor, tor the reason that it is impossible jor any one to resign an office which he has previous, veen deprived of. The effect sought to be attaine by that letter] am notin @ positton to comment upon, i 4 NICE POINT. “The question as to whether the Mayor has a right to reappoint Gardner and Chariick as Police Commissioners involves, 1 think, @ rather nice point of law and one which, at the present mo- ment, I do not feel quite confident enough to venture an opinion on. My impression, thus hast- ily arrived at, however, is that, should he make such reappointments, he would be violat- ing his own oath of office apd would place himself in precisely the same BA sition as were nis appointees, ne Governor would then have the right to take ac- tion in his case as provided for by the charter. looking to nis removal from his position as Mayor. THE OTHER INDICTMENTS, “As far a8 regards the remaining Indictments against Gardner and Chariick I can see no reason why they should not be pressed to trial. Itis, in ay opinion, the duty of the prosecuting officer, who 18 placed in his position to carry out the will of the peopie, to proceed with every case ior which an indictment has been found by the Grand Jury, in order that when offences have been committed the perpetrators thereof may be punished, A nolle prosequi shonla never be entered by a Dis- trict Attorney or other prosecuting ofiicer, except for one cause—viz., want of evidence to convict. it is no pallation of an evasion of or an offence committed against the law tor a person to say he was ignorant of the law. Every one 1s presumed to know the law, aud ignorance is no excuse. These other indicthents suould, therefore, be proceeded on.” Another Legal Opinion. A prominent member of the legal profession, | who requested his mame should not appear, but who is considered to be one of the best authorities on municipal law, stated yesterday that there could be no question whatever as to the fact that from the moment of the conviction of Commis- aioners Gardner and Charlick was had they ceased to hold office. The question as to whether the Mayor had the right to reappoint these persons as Police Commissioners was another matter. That it was his intention to reappoint them he bad every reason to believe. He in whatever way the Mayor did so reappoint Messrs. Gardner and Chariick he would ty himself open to a charge of violating his oath of office, and the further question would come up as to whether the appointees could exercise their junctions as Commissioners. However, should they he s0 appointed by the Mayor, and as ‘would probably be the case, a writ of quo warranto be served on them. They could perform the duties belonging to the oMfce of members of the Board of Police as Commissioners de facto, until the ques- ton 18 decided whether they are Commissioners de This would aliow the business of the Board to proceed, unless'they were served with an injunction restraining them from acting. In this case there could be no meeting of the Board, as there would be no quorum, STEAMBOAT BAOE ON THE HUDSON, POUGHKEEPSIB, June 29, 1874, There is considerable excitement here to-night over @ reported race up the Hudson between the steamers J. B. Schuyler and Drew. The former assed here at half-past ten P. M. and the latter welve minutes later, both boats travelling fast. The river was smooth, with no wind, tide at the flood and the moon affording a fair light. Both steamers kept well in the middle of the river. The Drew seemed to be gaining on her competitor, as there Was not twelve minutes’ difference when they passed out of sight. THE UNSUOOESSFUL BUBGLARY. The Gracefal Gilmore Not a Professor of Dancing.

Just at the time Old Sol was darting his ferce rays on melting mortals yesterday a gathering of | twenty or more tidy cra/ts were noticed in what 13 known as the South Cove at Jersey City. It was | the day fixed upon by the Oceanic Yacht Club for | their anpual race. Most of the leading yachts- men of New Jersey looked forward with interest to this event, for the ‘Oceanic numbers the hardiest, if not the oldest, of the boys who brave the breeze in New Jersey, Amor¢ desirable dayfcould not have been selected, As early as eleven o'clock the Regatta Committee, consisting of Commodore Hughes, Vice Com- modore Taylor, George Smith, John Falkiner and Benjamin Byron, were in attendance, Tne prizes were thrown open to all clubs, and lourteen entries were made. There were three classes, reguisted by the tollowlng courses:—First clase boats, irom the Central Railroad dock in the South Cove to komar’s Light, ten miles to winds | ward, and return; second class, from the same starting point to a buoy of Coney Island and retura, @ distance of fifteen miles. Tuird class from the same starting-point around Fort La- layette, Ali boats were to pass between Bedloe’s and Governor's Isiands, The signai for the start was given at hal!-past twelve. Although the heat was intense on shore there was 4 hively vreeze across the bay, from Eills Isiand to the surthest buoy station, ‘The following was the order in which the boats arrived at the judges’ boat:— FIRST CLASS, a Name.

SBAWANHAKA YACHT CLUB, Tne Corinthian Race To Be Sailed on the Third and the Annual Regatta on the Fourth of July—Entries and Regu- | lations, The Seawanhaka Yacht Club, of Oyster Bay, will make the waters of Long Island Sound more than usually animated on the 3d and 4th of July, as these dates mark two important yachting events— the salling, under the club’s auspices, of the first } Corinthian race in this country: and, second, the | holding of the third annual regatta of the organi- zation, The former will take place on the 3d | prox., and the number of entries already re- | ceived warrants the belief that the occasion will | be both pleasurable and interesting. Ten cabin | sloops will certainly be at the starting point, and | a8 the list ts open until Thursday, at three o'clock P. M., others may be added, making a fleet as cred- itable in size as it will be novel in the character of the crews. With a lovely day and a breeze sufil- ctently strong to put the racers fally upon their mettle, the amateur sailors will have an excellent opportunity to show how far their nautical eauca- tion extends and how well they can apply such knowledge.

G., Yesterday—The First Brigade of the First Division, New York, Ends Its Season's Shooting in a Triumph, The Seventy-ninth regiment, which is the left flank corps of the First Brigade of the First Div- ision of the N.G.,3.N.Y., had its turn at rifie practice yesterday at the range of the Natiunal Rifle Association, Creedmoor. In conformity with existing orders from the State Adjutant General's offlce the regiment formed in their armory at six o’clock in the morn- ing. Roll call took place hal! an hour afterwards, and, the men being supplied with fourteen rounds of rife ammunition and a day’s rations, took up the line of march for Creedmoor, which they reached beiore ten ofclock. Firing commenced near eleven. Colonel Shaw states that as the time desigiated for his regiment to practice happens to be very near the Fourth of July, and, in view of the fact that most of the members belonging to it are work- ingmen, only a small portion of the corps were oa the rifle range yesterday. There were 163 oMicers, non-commissioned offcers and rank and file who participated in the musketry practice, O: these ninety tailed to qualify at the 200 yards range, and seventy-eight went back 10 the 500 yards range. Of the men who failed to gual for the longer range A company had 13; B company, 6; C com- | pany, 25; D company, 5; B company, 5; F company, 18; G company, 6; H company, 17, and there were 5 inthe staf. The shooting of these ninety men was tuo indifferent for publication. The score of the remaining seventy -eight members of the regi- ment snows some very fine maixsmanship, and the egate score of the twelve best shote places the Seventy-ninth at the head of the first Division of the National Guard. Below will be found a num- ber of such scores, at 200 and 500 yards, as were deemed wortiy of record:— THE SCORE AT 200 AND 500 YARDS. ange, Names Yards. Pvt, Edmundstone, Oo.

One oi the two sets Of tickets held by buth officers had the initiat letter of Brigade Inspector Murphy’s name writ- ten across the iace as 4 guarantee Jor its genuine- ness; each of tne others held by both gentiemen had no such official mark. Adjutant Murphy ex- plained this irregularity by stating that the Adju- tant of the Seventy-ninth was in‘rusted witn the scoring tickets to issue to the men. There is no doubt but this explanation must be satisiactory, and, without for a moment imagining that t Seventy-ninth made their splendid score by an. other than the most honorable means, sitll 1t ough’ to be remembered that, with loose scoring tickets lying around, if the men were disposed to do it vuere is little to prevent their marking tor themselves foy number of points they might fancy. By reference to the score it will be perceived that First Sergeant Molloy, D Company, Hgures with a record of 27 points, and again, Jur- ther down the list, Sergeant Molloy, D Company, 1s credited with a score of 14 points. It 1s to ‘trusted, however, ior the sake of ) Company, and, Indeed, of the entire regiment, that there are two sergeants named Molloy in that company. Cojone! Shaw states that yesterday was the first time for the Seventy-ninth to turn out as a cor for ball practice. The men have placed themselves the head of their brigade by the magnificent score of 361 points which they made. The regiment returned in good order to the city by the nall-past six o'clock evening train, THE NATIONAL GAME. A Close Match Between the Atiantios and the Chicago “Giants,” In one respect this wasa most remarkable game, showing as it did no fewer than six sharp double playe—three on either side. A very brilliant running catch by Hines, with one hapd, doubtiess saved the game to the Chicago party, for had he missed the ball the Atlantics would have in all robability come off victors, Cuthbert caught for he Chicagos, and filled the position most admira- ly. ‘Appended is the score :— CHICAGO GIANTS.
