4, SARATOGA. Arrival of the President at Congress Hall. ON THE — SCEN LAKE, ‘appearance and Manners of the College Boys. “SCIENTIFIC” THE STROKE. #ieroic Confidence of the HMarvards, ‘ eee FEELING OF THE OTHER CREWS. Saravoaa, July 14, 1874. To-day the sin came up quite gloriously and stuck there, shining bright in the tace of Old | Probabilities, who predicted clouds. As we all ‘game Oat from breakfast, praising the efiicacy of | ‘our favorite spring—a subject we all differ about | lana quarrel about—we saw a rush of people, and pupposed there to be a runaway. No, it was only ithe President of the United States in a white linen iduster, with an umbrella, getting out of a carriage ‘pnd climbing up the steps of Congress Hail, a lady jou his arm and a secretary behind. ‘ APPEARANCE OF THE PRESIDENT. | He was stoop-shouldered, bowed of head, humble | and solid, as usual. He was always unpretending, | land this year, coming to a new place, he was less ike @ fashionable character than ever before. That | “way of creeping up stairs, morbidly modest and shrinking away, habitual to him, looked more humble in the light of these tall facades ‘and long, architectural porticos of Saratoga, ‘He makes a point, without intending it, when he ‘enters anew town this way. As I stood on the ‘eteps of the Grand Union, right opposite, and saw ‘him go up the other portico, I thought of the hun- ‘dred or more times I have seen him walking as queer and creepingly, lhe a man made sensitive dn early life by some commuuity’s frown or mal- ‘@ppreciation. If Time was long harsh with him, the best has been done to make reparation, An Ohio man right behind me remarked :— “Well, that’s the drst time I ever saw nim be- fore, and this time 1 have only seen him behind, He's a puzzle. He’s respected, anyway. Batter- ing away at him seems to do him goed with another big claas, There’s only one way to make him President again—that 1s, @ war between the races 4m the South, and if that comes he’s inevitable. ‘We'll beat him, if there aint, with old Bill Allen, ‘uniess Jim Blaine or Washburne beats old Bill.’’ The President, received by the Boss of Congress ‘Ball at the top and chased below by a multitude, who, perhaps, wanted to be touched for the King’s evil, quickly disappeared and was seen no more all ‘the forenoon. Babcock was also still as the golden eunuch of a grand vimer. The ladies put on their Dest adresses, the bands prepared their most | Fesounding national music, Saratoga wore high- heeled shoes ail day because & President had come. There is a good deal yet in being President, BS all the great governments now nave Presidents nd are republics—vide Serrano and sfacMahon. ‘The office will be desirable as long as the ladies dress for it. Tne hotels had been crowded the night before -the President arrived, and in the morning there ‘were wild expostulations at the counter because certain persons had been removed from their quarters, not having previously engaged them beyond a specified date. “You push my baggage out of my room,” said one in my hearing, “because you thinks lama Sharman Shew, and travels for a housb o! com- merce.” “No offence intended,” said the subdued hotel clerk, wlo appeared to have become devoat, like ail hus class, since all the hotel keepers have be- come mainstays of churches. “Your room was en- gaged, and you were so notified when you took it.’ YESTERDAY was employed by many people in visiting the lake | and looking at the atuletes, After days of rain and wet, everything weeping and exuding from the elm trees to the grags, so that even the dipper boys al the springs said, “We ain’t dippin’ po mo’ now; it’s riley"’—after all the imprisonment of a grand hotel, with every- thing about it but a fire and an out-of-doors, Mon- day morning of regatta week broke with a sun- up. Tne streets still shone, the eims still dripped, but the sight of the sun was better than the taste of the springs. By Six o'clock all the back teams were out; by eight o'clock the streets were full of promenaders; by nine o'clock breakiast was done, aad Saratoga looked in season, THE COLLEGE BOYS. There was so much to do that everybody was @ bit puzzled. Out came the little papers of the place, with herea notice of the great amateur individual rowing pull; there the base ball en- counter between Yale and Harvard; again the walking match at the Glen; the periormance of the Yale Giee Ciub at the Town Hall; the great regatta of Thursday overtopping all; the expected arrival of the President of the United states; besides a dozen lesser aud parasite things, discounectediy paragraphed; and out in the street were all manner of college boys, wearing the colors and badges of their schools, tastening here and there, bright or seli- ‘mportant, filling se piazzas, and their generally careless dress but ball comporting with their re- fined manners and easy speech. great treaty between fastion and athletics, gown and town. It couid not but be evident that the snrewd and experienced self-inter of Saratoga fad wisely separated the regatta trom a!) previousiy tolerated forms of competition—the race track, the pool room, even from ordinary money-gathering devices. The pool room was not open at all, and no public pools are sold upon the college races. The college boys are not enceuraged to frequent the club house, ana the professional sporting men sit back askant, afraid that their interest might dis. courage the afuir. The grounds on the lake shore are freely opened, without charge, to spec- tators of the general and the minor rowing and practising matches, ancl because one of these pro- gy! the celebrated Moon, of potato shavings e, has broken the general obligation and put up a money stand, these watering-place journals mock his rapacity aud insinuate that his potatoes are gre ay. “Public opinion is fearfully aroused,” said a Sara- tO landed proprietor. “It takes Moon at the inl.

The Aldermanic Action in the Premises and What the Effect Will Be—Brook- lyn Likely To Vote the Requisite Amount. Mayor Hunter, in a conversation with @ HERALD representative yesterday in regard to the failure of the Aldermen to take any action looking to the | appropriation of the frst $1,000,000 towards the East River Bridge enterprise, in accordance with the provision of the act of the Legislature, said where was no haste necessary on the part of the Board; that he believed the Bridge Company had money enough for the present. In answer to @ question as to whether the Bridge Company had money enough to carry them through until after the end of the recess of the Board, he replied, he thought they had, and if tney had not, | why they could easily borrow it, The work, he said, having been commenced must go forward. Several of the Aldermeo, who were spoken to yesterday upon the subject, were of sume opinion asthe Mayor, and expected that some action Would have been taken at their Jast meet- img Upon the report which the Bridge Committee had prepared and were anxious to submit. ‘The committee say that the bridge should be com- leted a8 soon a8 possibie, and it would ¢ foolish to wait a year or two for New York to be losing the tmterest on the large amount already invested. | | The opinion of some of the members of the | Board is that New York will take some action as | soon as Mayor Havemeyer is powerless to inter~ Jere in the Matter.

Alderman Strong, it 18 said, is of the | Bame opinion, and, in fact, all of the Aldermen from the Eastern District, with a single exception, are | opposed to making any appropriation at all. They | argue that the peop'e of that section of the city | will never receive any benefit from the bridge, | and they should not be obliged to contribute | towards it. The matter, however, has been can- vassed among the members of the Board, and tt has been found that there are ninetebn Aldermen who are ready to vote for the appropriatiou at any time. A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen has been calied, to be held one week irom next Monday, when Alderman O’Riely, who is @ member of the Committee on Paras and Bridges, says he has no doubt that the report re- commenaing the approprtation for the work will | De made by the Common Council, and the enter- hen wil carried steadily forward to comple- | tion, Mr, James S.

After all the | blocking had been removed it was found impossi- | | ble to get the vessel of without the use of batter- | | ing rams, which are heavy pine timbers, with one | | end of a rope attached to their centres and the | | other end secured to the bow of the vessel. | _ By drawing the timber forward and permitting it to swing back, thus balancing it tn an effectual | | manner, a powerful shock is caused. During one | o1 these manipulations the vessel started off and | | it became necessary to immediately detach the | | tumbers, as they might tear up the ways, injure | the vessel id imperil the lives of the workmen | and the many people who were present trom idie | | curiosity. | | AS soon as it was necessary to detach the ram | | the rope was cut by a workman who had received -special instruction in regard to the matter. The | | bystanders had recetved ubsoiutely no warning | whatever, and the enormous weight of the timber | DESCENDED WITH TERRIBLE FORCE | upon the heads of the spectators, who were itterly unconscious 01 their great peril. The effect was crushing. Four men were killed instantly, and three others—Thomas Bayles, Oakley Rowland and | James Lorns—were badiy wounded. A Dumber of | | persons received severe bruises or contusions; bat ail these are, of course, greatly thanklul tor rae got off with their lives, The owners of the launc’ | Ara their employés are generally held accountable | for the accident, and au investigation will be held | | at . Some of the men who were killed and | | bad Turea have large tamilies, who blame those | in charge of the launch for tne sudden loss of their | bread winners. | WESTCBES (ER, ee egal | During the temporary absence of its occupants | the residence of Frederick B.

Seven Hundred Children Visit Mr. William Butler Duncan at Staten Island. MORE MONEY WANTED. St. John’s Guild, the well known volunteer or- ganization which fed 35,000 of the hangry poor last winter, nursing the sick and clothing the naked, is again to enter the deld with vigorous measures for lessening the mortality among the sick children of the city. It will be observed from reading the letter of Dr. Harris, of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, to the Sanitary Committee, that, while the average health of the adult portion of the community is better than at any time since 1868, the death rate among children is rapidly increasing. This in- creage is ascribed mainly to diphtheria, which Dr. Harris finds to be steadily gaining ground, for while the reports now give double the number of cases of last year, the doctor is of the opinion that not more than one case in five 1s reported at all. What does the statement from Dr. Harris really mean? It means that in cellars thick with mias- matic gases, babes are dying in their mothers’ arms for want of wholesome food and wholesome air; that in close rooms of tenements, where the strongest and coarsest natures languish from heat, children are stretched on a handful of rags | on the floor, pleading, begging, as only a dying child can beg, for cooling drinks, for air—for life. It means that, when the fashionable thousands have sought the seaside, the mountains, the baths and the springs, where they may search out the most pleasant places and find the shadiest nooks, they leave behind them a skeleton in the homes of the poor for the poor to fight. No. To-day and to-morrow, perhaps, but not for very Jong, will the grim figure of contagion hang about the squalid pallets of poverty. It will feed a little while upon this hothouse fruit, and then it will move to the homes of the rosy cheeked children of wealth, Reeling under the mtoxica- | tion of success, it will throw wide the doors to pleasant homes, and, scattering the ices and cor- dlais from the bedaides of little sufferers, will lay its cold, bony fingers on many a heart and brow. Few among the general public are aware to What an extent the condition of the lower wards has renderea contagion possible. In addition to diph- theria, the cholera infantum, which every summer | carries off large numbers of children, has ap- | peared, and will for the next two mouths require constant care and attention among the poor, To meet this emergency the same course pur- sued last summer, with the best results, by the vol- unteer visitors, under the direciton Of the Rev. Alvah Wiswall, the Master of St. John’s Gnild, will be adopted. ‘This will include the use of a barge or floating hospital for sick children and their mothers, which will make irequent excursions on the river and bay, accompanied by numerous physicians. The sail will turnish an abundance of pure air to the sick, while they will be supplied with whole- some food. Tothe convalescent, ye scenes on water and shore, and music irom the volunteer band on the deck appropriated to them, will in- sure the best results. The work m tue streets and alleys lined with filthy tenements and cellars will not neglected in the meantime, and all that patient effort can accomplish may be hoped for. The fact that the Department of Charities and Correction has discharged its pliysicians and visit- | ors and abandoned its work among the poor ren- ders the prompt action of the Guild important, is in fact, it will not be indispensable. St. John’s Guild will depend upon the aid of the kind hearted everywhere tor support. To the world of wealth and fashion the little pinched children of the tenements and cellars appeal for even the morsel of ice that may drive the fever from their brow and for the breath of pure air that will allay the burning fever that consumes them. God knows that with the riches that surround us their appealshould not be in vain, Children, who are dying while their parched lips ask ongany for cold drink and fruit till tue mother 1s well nig! driven to madness, are whispering in the breeze over land and sea to the pleasure-seekers afar off—whispering @ prayer for Leip. ‘St. John’s Guild moves responsive, and its volun- tecrs stand eager for the work and waiting for the charitable everywhere to strengthen their hands. Not one dime contributed will be expended tor office rent or salaries, but every dollar will go di- rect and intact to the relief of the destitute sick.

On the way @ balky horse and over turned vehicle caused some confusion and great alarm, but luckily not one of the forty cnildren thrown to the ground was seriously harmed.

The Holy Father Reviews His Position Piedmont Once Honored the Hem of His Garment—In Rome She Seeks to Tear Off His Robes—The “Triple Moral Evil.” ‘ { (From the New York Tablet.] The 2ist of June, being the tweaty-eighth ann{- versary ofthe coronation of Pius IX., was cele- brated by Catholics throughout the world, but ia aspecial manner in Rome. It is estimated that 150,000 persons thronged the Vatican basilica to chant a ‘Te Deum” in honor of the event. The representatives of all the governments accredited to the Holy See paid their congratulations to His Holiness, who, on that day and the day fol- lowing, gave numerous audiences, among which was one from the delegates of the Catholic societies of Rome assembled at the National Congress at Venice. Prince Lancelloti read an address to the Pope tn the name of the Congress, to which the Holy Father delivered the energetic reply given below. | hhis historical reminiscences on that day have # | strange interest, while his remarks on tne dangers | to which youth is exposed to-day from what he | styles “the triple moral evil’—the romance, the | theatre and the press—coming, as they do, from | such a source, are of universal value. | WHAT HIS HOLINESS SAID. | Tam much consoled to hear the narrative of all that has been accomplished in the city cf Venice, and beseeching God that the measures adopted may bring forth fruits, I thank you, you who have come here not only to gather aroana and render me an account of your labors, but also to bring to your afMicted Fatuer the consolation of your | presence, of your words and of your aims. It 18 true that my affliction does not come from tne sore position in which I have | been placed, but indeed irom the evils which afflict the Church. That is why eet presence con- ; Soles me, [ behold you pledged to do, according | to your rank and state of life, all that 18 possible | in order to convey succor to the desolated Spouse | of Jesus Christ. Your example is uselul to arouse | the teeble and to cofirm the good.

These predictions of the con- | temptuous pity of the wicked ougnt to reanimate | the courage o! the good and compel them to prove to | | | the world once again that the Church is attackéd, but not vanquished; despoiled of all, but never a slave and handmaiden to the point of meanly | denying what is clear before it; that, in fine, the | Church is by so much the greater the more she is | persecuted.

" | The columns of the HERALD have repeatedly con- tained detailed descriptions of the long tunnel now | building in the upper part of Fourth avenue. It | was this locality which was the scene of this sad accident, The top of the tunnel, between Ninetieth | and Ninety-first streets, caved in suddenly with a fearful crash. A large number of workmen were | at work in the immediate vicinity of this portion of the tunnel, and the contusion which ensued was | indeser.baple. | | FEARS WERE ENTERTAINED that other portions of the tunnel would also fall, | and these groundiess suspicions spread terror | Among the workingmen.
