F. Carver of the Free Handicap, One Mil: and a Half. ‘The weather was pleasant and the track in @apital condition for speed, a delightful breéze moved the aust at times during the running, but did not interfere witn the horses and was very refreshing to those on the quarter stretch and in | the grand stand. There wasa very fine attendance Of ladies and gentlemen, showing that the meeting is still attractive to the visitors of Saratoga, There were three spirited contests, the first being @ sweepstakes of two miles for three-year-olds; the gecend a handicap ior two-year-olds, a dash of a mile, 4nd the third @ free handicap for all ages, a dash ofa mile and a half; all of which gave great Batisiaction to the uninterested spectators and winners, but not to tne backers of the favorites. The first race was a sweepstakes for three-year- olds, witn pepalties Jor winning previous stakes. There were nincteen nominations, but only four came to the post. These were A. B. Lewis & Co.’s bay filly Vandalite, by Vandal, dam Vesper Light, carrying 117 lbs.; W. Cottrill’s chestnut colt Planter, by Pianet, dam Lark, by Lexington, 110 ibs.; H. Gaifney’s bay colt Culpepper, by Re- Volver, dam Gentle Annie, 116 lbs, and Thomas Puryear’s bay coit Grinstead, by Gilroy, dam sister | wo Raric, 110 los, Vandalite had the call in the betting, although in the late sales of the night before Pianet sold for even money with her, Van- Galite became the favorite this morning, and $100 to $80 against the fleld were the current odds. ‘The extra ten pounds, however, proved too much | for her, and she was beaten. Culpepper won, Planter second, Grinstead third. The second race was a free handicap for two- year-olds, and had jor starters P. Lorillard’s roan colt Risk, by Revolver, dam Syren, carrying 98 Ibs.; owner's chestnut colt Aristides, by Leaming- ton, dam Serong, 96 1lbs.; A.

Hunt Reynolds’ chestnut Billy Aniella, by Australian, dam La Grande Duch- esse, 90 lbs., and Oden Bowile’s bay colt Holbrook, by Baywood, dam Goureil, vO Ibs,; Aristides had the call in the betting, Antella being second choice, McDaniel’s entry third in favor. Aristides ran @way from the otuers soon after leaving the Post, and won a very easy race by eight lengtis, Aviella aud Holbrook were secona aud third, The malic Was run by Aristides in 1:46%4. ‘the third event was @ free handicap for ail ages, a dash of @ mile and a half, There were five starters, comprising A. M. Burton’s chest- put colt Jack Frost, by Jack Malone, dam Kittie Puryear, 4 years old, carrying 108 lbs.; T. G.

Carver, by Lightning, dam La Victime, 4 years ola, 98 lbs. ; and D. Desmond’s bay filly, Molite a by Revolver, dam Skipper, 3 nF. old, 80 ibe. Jack Frost was a great favorfte, adon and Galway selling for even money lor sec- ond and third choice. Molle Darling sold well up towards the latter parteof the night before the race, notwithstanding that her owner stated that be had not fuily determined whether he would etert her, sue having a match with Botany Bay to be run off to-moirow. She might as well have been lett out, as Phe did not go of with the others. The five entered came to the post, and a capital con- test was tue result. B, F. Carver won the race, London second, Galway third. The tollowing are the details of the running as it came oit:— The First Race.

THE MYSTERIOUS FRENCHMAN LONG BRANCH, August 18, 1874. The great international ocean swimming match for the champiagship of England and America is now fixed to take place on Saturday afternoon next at two o’clock, storm or fine. The course agreed upor is trom a point directly opposite the Ocean Hotel, about half a mile from the shore, | down to a point opposite the West Ena Hotel, one mile and @ half as the crow fies, and return to the piace of starting. The tides and currents are strong and varied along the coast, and the swim- mers will have to Make @ good two miles swim- Ming at least each way, or iour miles in all. Ifthe sea should be as lazy and lake-like, a3 it is on this g@orlous August day, the task will be compara- | tively easy and there willbe a fair trial of speca between the two, But I believe somebody has somewhere remarked that Old Ocean has a temper | as fickle as @ Woman's, and so, although he is all smiles to-day, he may be all frowns and tempests to-morrow, At least that is the conventional way Of describing a Woman's temper, and, 1 suppose, it must be correct, PROPOSITION FOR A CHANGE OF PROGRAMME, In consequence ot mood in which the sea may ve ound on Saturday, and the desire to witness a fair trial of speed be- | tween the English and American champions, with- | out the “scratches,” or as the English would say, the “flukes,” just as likely to deciare in favor of One as of the other in a race up and down, or more correctiy speaking, down and up the shore, it has been proposed by some to alter the course. They suggest instead of a’long shore course, which is subject to the eccentricities of the tides and cur- Tents, to make the match a clean, flying race irom ® vessel two and a half or three miles out at sea in adirect line from the Ovean House, to the shore, This would put the contestants ona more certain | equality and would make the match a more ex- citing One, itis thought, whatever might be the condition of the weather, as the swim- mer would be in sight of the wihole Mass of spectators during the entire match, from the start to the close. ble, but by no means certain, that the proposed change of course may be eventually adopted. 1b is rumored that Johnson raises some objection, considering his chances best im rough water and being willing to take all the risks of the shore Toute, THE FEELING AT TRE BRANCH. Popular sentiment at the Branch 1s decidedly in favor of Trautze, aud tne people will be well pleased, as a rule, if he should carry off the vic- tory. This is not to bo wondered at, since Trautze is a New York boy and a fine fellow. He is about twenty-eight years of age, splendidly built, with a healtniul, bronzed complexion, muscular limbs, broad chest and pleasing countenance. He is naturally fair, with brown hair, heavy brown Mustache and good teeth, but his skin is now tanned a rich brown. He bas trained down fif- teen pounds in @ short time, ander tie careful guidance of Mr. Wightman, of New York, without losing @ fraction of his strength, and, although he is still robably a trifle too much in flesh, he hopes to be in splendid condition by the day of the match, He 1s modest but hopetul, and I might almost say confident, and says that he sbail at all events do his best towin. if he should reaily come off the victor the creait will be great, for he 1s not a water spaniel, as Jonson is, aud may be regarded in the light of an amateur ratner than as a proiessional, His style of swimming ts remarkably smootn and easy, and he has a broad, full chest—just such as 13 neediulin a good swimmer, But he is not such a Toluing, rollicking, kicking, diving, devil-may-oure | porpoise in the water as is bis English competitor, THE ENGLISH CHAMPION, for Johnson seems to bein his natural element when he is lording it over the waves and playing “catch me if you can’’ with the breakers. He 18 | what is calied a “hana over hand’ swimmer, and bas wonderiul power of bfeath suspension, swimming @ great portion of the time with nis head under water. There is a romance afloat that he has been 1our minutes under water; but this 1s, of course, all moonshine, and we might as well believe that he has taken @ cooking stove down with him and breakiasted of broiled bine fish at the bottom of the fishing grounds off the Branch. There 1s no doubt, however, that he makes dives rotracted to a wonderful length of time, and that in Bwimnming he can take a dozen hand over hand strokes wita his head submerged before he raises it to take in a supply of air. powerfully buiit man, not so large as Trautze, but quite as muscular in proportion. He is fair com- plexioned, with an English face of the rougher type, and looks as if he might be as dangerous an antagonist in the ring as In the water. Like | Trautze, he is a modest, unassuming man, and he indignantly denies the truth of the rumor that he 1s to let Trautze win for the purpose of pocketing the odds on hitusel!. Indeed, trom what I have seen of botn the men, | incline to the belief that neither would lend himself to any underhanded or uniair practice, and the rumor is the creation of the imagination of some oversharp wiseacres of the Know-nothing order, THE MYSTERIOUS FRENOHMAN. Landré, the mysterious French acrobat, who has been quietly taking to the water, like a duck ior a week past, striking out all alobe a quarter of @ mile from shore and swimming over the course first agreed upon for the race, was on the sands to-day, but did not go out. He was not feeling well, he said, and found the sun tos hot for nim, Johnson was also a@ little under the weather to- day and did not make his appearance, so Trautze took ua daily swim alone, He did not remain in the water more than twenty or tuirty minutes, but swam out some distance in the smooth sea and seemed to be in excellent condition, The interest felt in the com- ing race has been heightened by _ the | mysterious movements of Landré and by the re- port tha: he would go in irom the shore, i! not permitted to join the race, and swim with the con- testants anyhow. People who have seen Laudré in the water have grown wild with enthusiasm over the idea that he can beat either Johnson or ‘Trautze, but this is all nonsense. strong and enduring swimmer, but is not remark- able ior speed. He ceils us to-day that he shall not | join in the race, since he has to travel ‘all over the world” for a living, is here to-day and gone to- morrow, and shail leave Long Branch before Sat- urday. He does not believe he could race wih the champtons successiully in 8 came to endurance he would swim as far and sta: in the water as jong as any living man. Besides,” | says he, “they talk to meof racing. t 1 should make noviuing if Ishould win, Better per- form to the people on shore and gather your puper stamps or coppers of them.” I hinted that u he should win he might nave a subscription taken for him among the people. M. Landré smiled and shrugged his shoulders, apparently having but a Poor opinion of the profits to be made out ot vol- untary contributions. “All said he, ‘if it came to diving now. Why, I dived the other day from a boat two miles from shore and reached the bottom of the sea with ease, coming up again to the sur- face within a space not longer t! this irom the boat” (spreading nis arms apart to signify the dis- tauce). Still, it ig by no means certain that tie sly Frenchman will not be on hand on Saturday. The general opinion 1s that Johnson will win the race, but a8 the Frenchman satd to-day, ‘‘M. ee is a splendid swimmer, and—nous ver- rons. THE NATIONAL GAME. Shameful Tactics of a Crack Club. Yesterday afternoon the Nameless Oiub, of Brooklyn, met the Keystone Club, of this city, on | the Union Grounds for the purpose of playing a friendly game. The Keystone is @ very strong club, their pitcher, catcher and first baseman | being the same who played in the New York picked ten the day before. Upon that occasion it was found almost impossible to hit Failon, the pitener, at al. the favorites in the pools yesterday at heavy odds; but it was noticed that a number of cautious gamblers were putting money out on the otner side, It was svon noised about that the Keystones intended to lose | the game anyhow, and their subsequent conduct on the tleld fully sustained this view of the case, Fallon’s pitching was such as to allow the Name- less to hit the ball with the utmost ireedom, and they accordingly knocked 16 ali over the field, in | | atew minutes any one could see the Keysiones — would not win if they could, and it became ine general topic of conversation among the lookers- on. Three of their pidyers told parnes on the ground that they did not want to win. So pal- fon was some of the play by Ledwith penind the at that the umpire told him if he saw any more of it he would leave the field. Finally, the Nameless, being convinced the thing was all arranged by the rambiers, took up tbeir bats and walked off the eld.

After | completing bis education, and betore attaining | his majority, he was sent in 1838 to Ireland, where he resided several years in Thomastown Castle, county Tipperary, the seat of the Liandaff family. While here and while visiting England he became acquainted with the most eminent statesmen of Great Britain, including the late DUKE OF WELLINGTON, Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen, with whom he maintained the most familiar intercourse, In 1845 he was appointed First Secretary to the French ‘ation in London, and was Fabsequentiy placed ite head.

However, a8 As a representative of the HERALD was passing along Park row yesterday afternoon he observed & portly looking gentleman just crossing the road- way, bearing a strong resemblance, as he thought, to the Vice President. Waiting jor a moment un- til the gentleman had atepped on the sidewalk, alt | doubt was set at rest by the mutual recognition | which ensued. Hon, Henry Wilson, for it was he, as soon ashe caught sightof the H&kALD repre- | sentative, immediately held out his hand, and the usual interchange of congratulation and compti- | ment was passed. Mr. Wilson shows scarcely ‘the faintest sign of his late sickness, /and in answer to the inquiries ad- dressed to him upon that subject, stated | that he was now beginning to feel once more like | ; himself and to expertence the pleasuré of almost perfect health, With care and attention to lis | System he thought a few months would see him | without anything but a recollection of his late at- | tack, To a stranger Mr. Wilson appears like a | gentleman farmer just arrtved from the country, with portly form and bronzed face—in fact,sthe very picture of overflowing health, VIEWS ON THE THIRD TERM. After conversing on affairs of no public impor- tance the topic gradually changed to that of poli- | tics. ‘The question as to whether the President | | bad any idea of a third term was naturally | the one that should be first discussed, and in this tonnection Mr, Wilson was most frank and | outspoken. He gave it as his most decided | opinion that General Grant had uot the smallest | idea of running for the Presidency for a third term. Neither did he think that President Grant | | encovraged any such thought, Doubtiess tuere | are agreat many oMce-holders and parties who were desirous of getting into public positions who would prefer to sce the President remain at the head Oo! affairs for another four years, but, on the other hand, there is the large mass, composed of the best men in the republican party, who would be entirely and utterly opposed to any such | design, ‘In fact,” said Mr, Wiison, “I for one shovld vote against him, for! think it has come to bb understood and accepted by the American people that it would be both unwise and impoiitic | to allow any man to fill the office of President for more than two terms. So much 50 is this the case that it, as it were, orms A TACIT CLAUSE OF THR CONSTITUTION. “There bas never yet been a President who was | continued in office for more than etght years, and | T sincerely trust there never will be. There are, I have not the slightest doubt, many men from all parts of the Union who, lor their own selfish ends, will endeavor to persuade General Grant to seek a renomination; but I, for one, believe that the President will turn @ deaf ear to all their argu- ments and positively decline <0 allow his name to be put up before the convention. Of course Gen- eral Grant is peculiarin some things, especially in that he does not communicate his thoughts very freely upon what he intends doing, but I am in- formed on the very best authority, outside of pnt- ting the direct question to him, that he intends to have nothing whatever to do with trymx to obtain another term of office, but that he | rather looks forward to the time when he will | retire from his onerous 90s'tton of chief executive | officer of the United Sta He, however, 18 un- | doubtedly very strong with the purty; but for all , that I think were be to be renuminated | HE WOULD BE BADLY BEATEN; | | for, as I have previously said, the peoplo wonld, in | my judgment, rise up irrespective Of party und | Vote against him.

As to whetner a division or split 18 likely to oc- cur in the ranks of the republican ty under certain contingencies Mr, Wilson sat lam nov one who looks :orward to any such majorities in | the next campaign as we have nitherto obtained, but Ido not think there wiil be any falfing out irom the ranks to apy extent. Of course, there will always be some disappointed men in ev: Wants not being supplied, and others who tancy they have been ili-used in some Way or the Other, It only requires, however, @ proper organization and honesty of purpose, voth as to promises and periormances, vogetner with able and upright leadersaip, to insure our presenting a serried frout. The last campaign was an extraordinary triumph, but it wa A Gi for after such a victory the tendeucy was rather to laxity in keeping the party together, We mus not hope tor auy such majority in the future.

POLITICS AT LONG BRANCH. ee More About the Third Term—Vice President Wilson’s Opinion — The Choice of the President First Grant, and Second Washburne—The Liberal Republicans and Their Movementse— Senator Fenton with Two Strings to His Bow. Lona Brancn, August 18, 1874, The HrnaLp’s Long Branch disclosures of General Grant's alarming strategic movements for a third term haye thoroughly awakened the republican politicians throughout the country to the possible cangers of the situation. During the last two weeks at the President’s cottage political pil- grims by ones and twos and. threes have been dropping in from day to day to pay their respects to the silent man at the head of the government, ‘ and, peradventure, to sound bim upon the succes- sion. But they have all leit him, like the Bour. bons, no wiser than when they came. They have learned nothing, Upon the main question he is not to be flunked, nor to be carrted by @ direct as- sault, He shows fight if directiy approached, and beating about the bush with him is labor in vain. Vice President Wilson was among the distin- guished callers upon his superior officer yesterday, and, through another party, we hear that the eminent shoemaker of Natick has been giving out” some interesting information concerning the pre- eminent tanner of Galena. It is to the effect that ' General Grant is a candidate for another Presi- dential term, but that he is a candidate inside the lines of the republican party; and that when he makes the discovery which he will surely make before many moons have passea—the important discovery that the republican party is casting about jor a new Man—the President will use all his power and patronage, as far as he may quietly use it, in behalf of the nomination of Elihu B. Washburne by the National Republican Conven- lion of 1876; and there are hosts of sagacious poli- ticlans who believe that the republicans cannot select a more acceptable or available man. We hear it rather as a rumor than an established fact that Senator Conkling was at the Presidente cottage the other day. Unquestionably the in- terests of the republican party in the approaching New York State election call for a full conterence and a clear understanding between the President and Mr. Conkling; for ifa tithe toat we hear of pending negotiations between the administration ana Senator Featou is true his colleague is in danger of being supplanted. For example, we are told that a scheme is afloat for the reunion of the republicans aud uberal republicans of New York in November upon a State ticket embractng Mr. Cornell for Governor and Mr. Feuton for Liea- tenant Governor, with the understanding that in te event of tueir election and in the event of a republican Legistavure Mr, Cornell ts to be chosen Senator as Fentoa’s successor and Fenton ts to take the chair of Governor. It 19 ieared, however, that this combination scheme will not work, a8 Senator Fenton, atter having advanced irom the stepping stone of the Goveruor’s oltice to the United states Senate, recoils from the idea of stepping back again. He, doubtless, preters the otuer string to his bow, as @ candidate himself for another term in tue Senate, Aud why not? The liberal repub- leans have resolved to maintain the fleld in our coming State canvass as an independent party. Last March they narrowly escaped an adjourn- ment sine die; but they Were neid together by tuew National Executive Committee, and upom t-e plea that the balance of power which they wielded in the electiou of last November they might this year turn to a more profitable account, looking to the Presidential campaign of 1876, So they maintain the field as a third party, And it 18 because the repub icans fear the liberals as & balance of power that the administration desires in New York to secure these liberals in new treaty and ip an alijance offensive and dejensive. Hence these negotiations with Senator Fenton. Hut why Corne)l for Governor when D.x is univer- sally recoguized as the strongest man the repub- licans cxn name for the officer Why tear the tem~ perance men? The Governor's veto of that Local Uption bill bas 80 far mcensed the temperance men against him that to defeat him, if nominated, they will work as they have never worked hereto~ jore to defeat any candidate on the liquor ques- tion, And so Cornell may possibly be taken by the republicans in the place of Dix, and if it is given out that Dix does not a button about the matter one Way or the other. ‘ Infact, they say that oniy with the understanding that he shall take the place of Fenton in the na- tional Senate will he ve entirely satisfied with any arrangements the republicans may make at Utica. Next to the Presidency the election of a United States Senator, wherever one ts involved, has be- come the paramount and controlling quession in our State elections, The late Senatorial straggia in Massachusetts and the more recent unfinished contest in Rhode isiand, without going further, will serve to show the high value attached by the politicians to @ seat in the national Senate. All ths has come about since the command. itig power of the Senate in the government was so forcibly devefoped tn r the administration of Andrew Johnson, Henc® these desperate party and Jaction conficts for the Senate, and hence the importance attached by the New York republicans and by the national a4min- istration to the support of Senator Fenton in view Ol the election of his successor. Our November contest wilt turn upon this quee- tion, and Mr. Fenton will, naturally enougo, make the most of his opportunity to turn tt to his own account. The liberals nope in New York, apon tus Issue, to use thelr balance of power to some purpose. ' They hold the field for their possibilities as a third party tn 1876 ak are organized thronghout the country. Astonished at the unity of tue Soutnern blacks {n 1872 against Greeley ana in favor of Grant, the liberals, on inquiring into this mystery, discovered ‘shat the Southern blacks had acted under the direction of their Union League clubs, @nd that these clubs covered every corner of the Southern doo Since that day rival political clabs have ry organized amovg the blacks 10 most Of the Soath- ern States, and it is believed that in their next elections the colored vote of those States will be 80 far divided as to dispossess the republicans in all but two or three. With these republican losses in the South the iberai republicans think that as a balance of power they May in 1876 at least play the which the anti-siavery party ed in 1844 and in 1848 in determining the Presidential election and in open- cia Ms J for thetr ultimate ascendancy as my . From these hints you will understand the game of the liberals in New York and the desire of General Grant to make peace with Senator Fen- ton; for if the administration party lose New York this fall the prestige of General Grant is gone, and the caiculations of his supporters for @ third term are Scattered to the winde. yd THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL Proparations have been perfected for the re- ception of the United States Postmaster General, ex-Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, The Jewell Staff Association have prepared @ reception in Harttord ior their otuef, The asaociation met yes- terday at tue Homan House, New York, and the Citizens’ Reception Committee at the Firth Ave~ ‘On Friday a spectal train will take the Poatinaster Genesal aud irieads to New Have
