Shortly after six o'clock this evening the Uni- | versity race Was postponed until to-morrow after- noon at five o'clock. Since early morning the | wind has been blowing fresh from the northeast, causing the whitecaps to dunce merrily over the entire expanse of the lake, and it was deemed hazardous for the crews to venture out im their | fragile boats, After 4 postponement of two hours, | Cornell, Williams, Wesleyan and Harvard paddled | up to the starting point, but were quickly com- ; pelied to put ashore and free their shells of the water they bad shipped. A consuitation was then held in the Columbia’s house and the decision as above given Was arrived at. EXPECTATION, The morning broke warm and cloudy, and al-' most every human being in ‘atoga imine- diately looked at the sky. “It eels @ little soft,” said Commodore Brady, “as if there was going to be a littie southerly rain,” The ear- liest hours of the day saw people, bediess many of j them ull night, strolling on broadway and throng. ing around the springs 80 thickly that the hotel servants and townsiolks, with pitchers and pais, , could scarcely draw their customary quantum of 1 water, Strange people be they who are suckled on chalybeates and for all their days drink cathar- tics tor a household beverage. The old inhabitants , go by the name o! “old salts,” ana are littie more than magnesia bottles. “Right off for the lake!” say all the voices im the | air, with a strong Vermont accent—“saratoga | Lake, right away!” For everybody with a pair of mules, a pair of wheels or an old buggy is here | irom forty miles around, ready to hire out. Yes- verday, even at the Fresnmen race, they | charged $5 @ head, or $25 for a little ola Dearborn, and during the day many a | man recovered the whole price of his pair, harness and new vehicle. To-day their expecta. tions were little short of paying off their mortg: or building a brick house. Even a hay wagon venturing into town yesterday was dispossessed Of its load tor $30, and filled at $2 @ head with about titty college lads, netting the lucky farmer , @ hundred odd dollars, to his great surprise. The Schedule Of prices agreed upon between the livery and team people and the Regatta Association of Saratoza was practically done away with, as the ; townsiolks would not take mankind at fifty cents & head while the rustics readily obtained $5. But some M STURDY OLD SARATOGIANS, like W, R. Brown, Superintendent of Congress Springs, resented the breach of faith by turning out their teams and placarding them, ‘Io the Lake and Back for ‘en Cents.” Nothing | Was more romantic than the ride over tne five miles of dirt road, with water tanks at every few rods for sprinkling, the smell of pines, the prospect of two mountain | ranges, the thrifty fields of wheat and potatoes | and the long array of pedestrians and wagons seen cilmbing the long ridges of the way, so that, from one high point on the road, every moving thing could be seen from tne brow of Saratoga Hill nearly to Moon’s, Thousands of walkers, elegant spans, dog carts, furniture carts, carry- alls, riders, made the proces:ion. Some were singing, some guying, others galloping, some de- mure, and mounted police, wearing yellow badges, caretully patrolled the way. It is inevitable, how- | ever, thata ratiway be run to ihe lake from tne | village, and probably the Rensselaer and Saratoga | Railway, will think the same before next year. | Saratoga has had more visitors during the week past than in the whole regular season. From the | President down the “seven ages of man” are here visible—all the forrus or life, commerce and station. It isa long week of Derby Day. | Wednesday night was as fine a presentation of University life as Oxiord or the Latin Quarter ever had to siow: the enormous number of students and alumni, in the hatbands, cockades and rib- bons of their alma mater, fairly overpowering the enormous number of spectators, and the rollicking songs of the Yale Glee Club poured through the open windows Of the Town Hall, and tnen the same club, followed by a long procession of Yale's men, marching Gown the streets with songs, filed | up into Congress Hall as if to serenade the Presi- dent. But the college man, nowadays, is a stick- ler for his earnings. “Why don’t you sing one of your airs while the people up there in the grand stand are waiting for | the gun to be fired?” said a gentleman to a Yale chorister, “We will, gladly,’’ said the student, without re- serve, “provided we are paid for it.”” | Other stadents were coquetting, seeking to room | with more fortunate acquaintances who had beds, nodding on the piazzas in chairs or visiting the springs in multitudes and with carelessness of stomachic consequences, drinking of every source. A few huzzas, ‘*'rans’—Idiosyncratic shouts, pe- cullar to colleges—broke the stillness of the warm | night as bands of lads from irtendly colleges passed on the street, and Princeton's victory in the Freshmen race was the theme of no little wonder | | and speculation, | “Ha! you Yankees,” cried one, “to-day, for the | first time you met the Middle States and lost your | colors. Twenty-two years you have been racing, and these Jerseymen, who have just learned how wipe you out the first time they see you.’ | The Jerseymen, so called, were conspicuous by the little of the Jersey blood in them. The stroke, Nicoll, who was the vigor and master of the crew, hailed from the city of New York. Two were Western men, from Ohio and Iowa, and | One came from the most southerly point, probably, of any rowing man in both days’ regattas—Camp- bell, of Washington, D. C, The teeling was decidedly in favor of the victors everywhere. Their modesty, the old and of late somewhat diminished CELEBRITY OF NASSAU HALL, the splendid Scotch and Irish stock which has immemorially sent its scions to Princeton, and the clean, fair, gallant way in which they shot the homestretch and “spurted’” to victory by a con- joimed spirit, gave the older college men an idea | that after a while, when the John Hopkins College, the University of Virginia, Aun Arbor and the | Western schoois come to these regattas to com. | pete, the nameaof Harvard and Yale will be heard less boastingly. ADVICE FROM A SPORTING MAN. It was deemed advisable to drop in on Mr. Mor- rissey about ten o'clock, as the unquestioned | sporting encyclopiedia, He was found in his care- less, greyish white suit, with a tanned olive skin { and beard of lustrous black, as usual. He sald, without hesitation :— “IVs my opinion that if you mean to bet you take ’em in this order:—First, Harvard. That crew's been timed, and has made the course in 17m, 28s,, which is not as good as either Columbia or Wesleyan, but her men have got more experience, | Whey stand evencr, They are betrer seasoned and they are the best to relyon, Next I would take | the Wesleyans, They're tremendous tough | and brought up to hard work, Ther Captain bosses ‘em hke a ciass leader, and they | work more like men than.stndents, They've made it in 17m, 24s, The third crew in point of responsihil- ity is Columbia, Betng a New Yorker, of course I take ap interest them, They pull brijliantly, and I'm told they've made it in the wonderful | time of 16m. 528, Dana, of the Harvards, says that | they've made it in 16m. 50s, The fourth chance 18 Yale.

AT THE LAKE. A sail over the lake ut eariy morning found the crews in their comfortable and new boathouses, ali bathed and rubbed, haif-nakedly gong to and | fro, oiling a little, mending a rowlock, adjusting: @ rudder, lite disposed to be communicative even with eacn other lest some of the uervous Jorce and vitality needed for the iatter part of the day should be dissipate: There was Williams, most set and bedevilied of ali by visitors, yet taking it plitlosopbically. Their bouthouse 18 Moon's tenpin alley, and thou- sands—yea, ten thousand people were all day Peeping in, asking ques(ious and looking at the singular things {n which the moderns row—a coMn apparently containing some machinery of torture, and set inside a sword fish, “La, Aunt Matilda, tt is made out of etgar boxes, oe you evert I should never think this was @ boat!” “Yes, madame,” says & mischievous college lad, too lazy to be a rower, “it weighs Li0 pounds. We steer it with our feet, and tell the way to go by the instinct of smell and sae expression of the air | on tue acricular wave, There 1s a fine tor looking Over one’s snouider.’? WILLIAMS IS A SMALL CREW, averaging in youth and weight below the common, The vow, ouly 141, and che stroke, Guuster, of a was tie life o: the day, steadily, ver every part of the bout and meu and indifferent to inter- ruptions of any kind. Loins, back and arms pow- eriul, a swarthy face and great ambition in othet | like things, he and nis crew derived ther knowl. | edge tom a graduate wio, like many that we dnd | this year, Was sent especially abroad to waten the English style, The English, indeed, @ greatly | aflected the old traditions of American rowers, | both us to styie of stroke and training. Last year this college lost a man irom the crew, and he lost his healta as well, from overtraining. Next we see, SHADE OF JOHN WESLEY, ‘The Wesleyans, of Middletown, those thrifty, sel-helping and generally godly coliegians, about 100 strong, Wuo live like the poor scholars 01 the early days, mending their own breeches, blacking their own boots, not averse to day’s work i it 13 necessary to get through colle and yet, with | the spirit of & university, they have reserved the {time for training for this regatta, and once before made the Unitarlans of Harvard feel that the arm. of tue flesa was equal to the arm of the spirit among class leaders. ‘This grim, laborious, serious crew lias been the special dread of both Harvard and Yale, ‘the look Uke coits out of Cromwell's jronsiaes, They take neiiner purse nor scrip, Walk dozens of miles in meditation, and are better | adapted to row thirty miles than three. ‘They are rousing fellows as we see them now, reclining on the soft side ol a plank, one being a wheeiwright, | anotier a bricklayer, a third 4 lumberman, and the | stroke, hustis, is twenty-seven years old, looks like | ‘Tom Criob, carries beard on his chin, and looks Straight at and through you. “You fellows will get so wicked after awhile that you'll take to the turf, vou Wesieyans! | wonder that you haven’t a pool room." So suys a reverend clergyman, with a twinkle, who has come up from Round Lake Camp. te looks, however, as U he took a deep denominational interest in all this | rowiig business, and says, as he looks al! over the bout: Warm them, boys; warm them if you | can.” From the Wesleyan’s house we dropped in on | those dragons of tie intellectual orb | THE HARVARDS, who are to do within a few hours the battle of the biceps ior the richest and most spirited and popu- jonas of our schools, Nearly 2,000 contributing per- SONS and 800 students, a boat house containing about 59 boats, & university Club alone of 2 beis and 4 rowers to row to-day wuo have appeared in © disciplined with a rigor as remarkable as it is of approved prescriptiok ; such Were tue conceptuons 1 enterta’ ol Harvard as I passed their door. Themselves confident, believed by the best critics and observers to have a sure thing, and possessing ove of Blaikie s bran new boats, Which arrived but two nights ago to replace one they had twisted, they looked cool and decided, and im- | pressed visitors periaps more lavorabiy than any other college crew. FAR DIFFERENT IS COLUMBIA, quartered on a remote blud, ina red iarm house. ‘They are of English and American coaching, and & Campridge University man has been teaching them from personal practice the English stroke. Their new Fearon shell is of new and elegant make and flnish, Their names are metropontan, as all know who read of Rapallo, Cornell and Rees, They | weigh low, but evenly, All of them ure New Yorkers, except Goodwin, who is & Massachusetts man. Having rowed over the course in shorter ; time than any other crew, they possess a good deal of superstition among that large class of Nen-college men who belong to New York, are an- nuais at Saratoga, aud would Itke nothing so much as to see this grand old Knickerbocker col- lege carry the colors away to the historic halls | where Hamilton, as a lad, grew to be at once Soldier and statesman. THE PRINCETON CREW. And mow for the boys, who ltve the grave of Aaron/Burr and were of the college of the Bayards | and Stocktons, They have practised on the Deha- Ware and Raritan’s raging canal, and are, there- fore, to be, in some sort, a test of cheap transpor- tation. If they succeed Senator Windom will put a@ new feather in tis cap. Robert Bonner built them their boathouse and they aie well off tu boat- ing /property. expect hopeially of their wo. their protecting donnie, is regarding them with something of the grimness of Stonewall Jackson, his fellow churchman. ‘They are picked ont of men, well tried and contrasted hey are by no means large men, their Captain, Smith, weighing little more tnan a girl, Jersey he iss Three Philadelphians, two New Old Dr. MoCosh, They are rather elegant fellows when out of this rugged wild water costume. Orange ds their color, that of the victor of the Boyne. “Will you fetch it, Maynard *”” “We Will fight for it,’? says Maynard; and he looks like tt. CORNELL we visit next, @ powerful crew in breeding and heit. ‘These fellows are nearly ail raftsmen of New York, one big fellow from Illinois being the only | exception, and the stroke is from the St. Law- | rence, a “Will you do your best, King ?"? “Yes. Nobody bets on us much, but we shall keep at it till they do.” How different is TRINITY'S CREW, of Hartford Episcopalians, three of whom are cu- j rates, or priests’ assistants, A flavor of conserv: tive piety aud respectability underlies them. They are pretty big men. The bow oar is 2 Minnesotian ; so 13 one other, 3 townsinan. One is from Detrott | another from New York and a third trom Peonsyl- vania, This 1s, theretore, & iairly Middle State crew. They are confident, but not over-expectant, Dartmouth’s big crew is anxions to do some- thing for the college mates of Webster and Chase—- New England men, long and crude, with a fauity, | uick Say) which they yet appear to have con- | dence in, And now we come to YALE, that grand old college of the Elma, with three Western men, two New Knglanaers, a New York city man and a Pennsylvanian—Cook, the stroke, @ poor student and a great captain. He has seen the rowing in Europe. His boys, who are num- bered by hundreds, think he ts the presiding | genius of the physical world, He is modest about it, however, and expects to pull through. PREPARING FOR THE STRUGGLE. At three o’clock the tail of the great caravan | had wound itseif to the shores of the lake, ai! but afew thousand who came walking in through the Saratoga dust, The stores of the lake were like the sides Of tue Coliseum, ‘They were specced. with umanity like the Roman Coliseum. when the gladiators met and died amid the shouts of the people. General Grant occumed a popied dais overlooking the scene, He was the Cwsar of the picture, Before him were the athletes and the acrobats, who looked up for the Presidential frown or smile as Roman acrobats looked up at Nero, The hillsides were sprinkied with distinguished citizens. Here sat the silver-haired Fernando Wood ; ihere Dr. McCool, of Princeton, wandering eircus man postiring to a gaping crowd, mong the ladies on the grand stan were William R. Travers and Mr. Marvine, and they remained there during most of the alternoon. At three o'clock the Wiliiains crew came running down the bank infront of Moon's. The magnif- cent iellows Were stripped to the waist. kvery one was an Apollo Belvidere, and no wonder that the eyes of a thousand young ladies looked won- deringly at their sinewy arois aud levelled theit opera giasses at their broad brown chests, THE FIRST POSTPONEMENT. Just as 30,000 people were ready to Near the can- non announcing the first race the vast audience ang | were injorngd saat OpsAd JA tg here, | | Caps, Anklets, dages, | Office, N Above 400 pupiis at Nassau Hall | Here was stewart and there was a | © 5 would not take place till 4ix o'clock. Three hour of patient waiting on the hot banks of a jake; but the audience stood it with commendaole patience. The ladies only the more thoroughly canopied themselves beneath their big umbrellas, while gen- tlemen ground their heels tn the cank and chewed the ends of taeir cigars. The Pres cent bit his Mpa and po.itictans gathered in groups te discuss the third term, SUSPENSE, At six o'clock the cannon finally boomed frome the direction of Snake Jill, and a bundred thou- sand eyes were turned to the starting point, three miles to the southward. Ina moment there was a busy scene among the nine crews. Away in the distance with heavy opera glasses could be scum harrying to and iro tue white and green of Trintty, the white and orange of Princeton, the dbiue aa@ white of Cornell, the Magenta o! Harvard, the lav— ender of the Weslevans, the blue of Yale, the blue and white of Columbia, the green of Dartmouth and the purple of Wituams. No! on second sight | the blue of Yaie is absent, and upon looking again | the lavender of the Wesleyang is not there. Them | Colonet Ritchie comes rushing in to say that the Whitecaps on the lake have SWAMPED THE STAKEBOATS. “The staxevouts are gunk, the dickens is te pay,’ le says, swinging his hands, ‘and we have no race to-day—it is too windy.” Then comes a painiul teciug among the knowing ones. The people do not know what 1s the matter. Jn # Jew minutes the wind lulis, It ts six o'clock | “A little atter, peruaps, We can have a race yet,’* | says Commodore Brady, getung into & smalb steamer, Which darts of towards Snake Hill 1¢ us followed by the other steamers. The great crowd cheer, for it is an indication that the race ts te take place, In fifteen minutes the smad steamor, alter hailing Yale and the Wesleyans, arrived ab Snake Hill and the crews got into line.’ Six speck n be seen on the Warer—that ts all avy one noe on the referee's boats can make out. At 6b, 451m the releree’s steamer returned towards Muon’s, “THE RACK 13 POSTPONED,”? “It is postponed !”’ shouts a race man. The people take up the cry andsthere ipa gem , eral shout #iong the crowd, “No race to-day; it ie too windy |” Oht*what a growl went up from 30,000 throate as the decision was made known. Then come menced the SCRAMBLE BACK TO TOWN. The scrambie, the rush, the jam, the squeeze, the oath, the gnasuing of teeth, the howl, tue shouts of desperation, Ail day every carri: omnibus and hack had been bringing the 30,! people to the Lake. When the time came to | return everybody tn the vast throng wanted | to go back “in the first couveyance. The hackwen had the hungry crowd packed four miies from their smoking dinners. The hack- men appreciated this situauon of things and com- | Menced work accordingly. Only millonnaires were taken first, people who could buy the hacks ous and out; then came well-to-do people, who could | advance the price of a span of horses, and then the | poorer Classes, Who almost handed the hackmen | their pocketoooks, Hacks started tor Saratoga | With eight people crowded inside, three outside and small boys hanging on behind. Hay wagons were pressed into service and a great many you ladies walked in. In fact, the most amusing part the race was the race of the pedestrians back té Saratoga, The Disappointment in the City. There certainly has been no recent event in the sporting world which has commanded such gem eral interest outside of it. Yesterday, thanks te the interesting and exhaustive HEKaLD regatta edition, every schoolboy in town could under- stand as much about “outriggers,” “sculla,”* “shells,” “latch rowlocks” and the Untversity crews, as his elders; and even the seminary misses had their sly bets of gloves and ribbons om favorite colors, prompted, doubtiess, by the prefer ences of “big brothers.” At the Stock Exchange the brokers left off deal. inz in the last hours of business, aud “bulls” ang “bears’? bought pools in the Long Room on their favorites. At the hotels the stock indicators were eagerly watched for news, and when the postpone- ment of the race was announced until six o'clock the excitement seemed to increase. The conver- gation in the street cars was magically diverted from the weather, aud such names as “Harvard,’? “Yale,” “Cornell,” &c., sounded strangely from. lips that never lisped in a *’Varsity."" Of course, in the drinking saloons, the race Monopolized the interest, and every knowing one had bougnt a Paris Mutual pool tor $5 on the winning boat, and was already speculating on what it would pay. Merchants and cierks, bankers and brokers sat tered into the lobbies of the Fifth Avenue Hotel im the evening to hear the result, and when it was. annonnced that a postponement had taken place’ on account of the weather, there was matt dis @ppointinent and criticism.
