The Owmers of the Steamer Cook Re fuse to Send Their Boat Out in the Storm—The Trainers Follow the Ex- ample and Appoint Tuesday Next as | the Day for the Race. LONG BRANCH, August 22, 1874, | The international swimming match bas been postponed until Tuesday, August 25, for reasons published below. ‘The conditions of the race were “play or pay,’? and notwithstanding that the sea was very bigh and the weather stormy the principals were anx- | lous that the race should come olf. The rain clouds discharged their free shower baths per sisteutly all the morning, causing gloom- among the visitors, From seven o’clock until balfpast ten the advisability of postponing the race was diligently canvassed at the Ocean House, a large majority being in favor of the selection of a pleasant day. All the boarders at the diferent hotels advised putting of the affair, but a large crowd who had come down on the early train were loud in favor of the “play or pay” stipulation, Strange to say the contest- ants were among the latter class, both Johnson and frautz saying they would much rather swim in the rough, choppy sea than suffer a postponement, | which, they seemed to think, would excite un- | favorable comments, The moot had become very | fervent between the spokesmen of the different | parties, whén the telegraph operator camé out and handed Jounson a telegram. Johnson retired | | from the crowd to read it and then disappeared. | ‘The discussion stopped and guessing as to the contents of the telegram began. No one guessed right. lt was from Samuels, stating the pro- | prietors of the steamer Cook would not send the | boat out on account of the storm. The telegram was shown to Mr. xeland, who said he had no advice to give, suggesting at the same time that the judges and referee be summoued and informed as to the contents of the despatch, RPSeHYRLe BEOUTie fOr of the West End Hotel and Mansion House, were summoned to mect Mr. The- | odore Moss (the referee) in the dining room of the Ocean Hotel, At eleven o'clock the judges, Jonn- son und his trainer and the representatives of the press were watting for Trauts ana his trainer, who had not yet | sy in an appearance. Finally they arrived, and Mr. Moss sald thatthe reason he had called the meeting was to listen to what the principals had to say im reference to a post- Pponement, Trautz said he would like to nave the’ race come off as was at first pro- | posed, He had heard ook could not go out in the bat he Vhought that with a little exertion a boat might | be jJaunched from the shore into which the con- testants could get and be rowed out three miles, | thus following out the programme. Jonnson said | Mr. Trautz uad expressed lis opinions and wishes, be was agreeable to the proposition to go off irom shore if the boat could be launched, j Inquiry had been made of the boatmen and | fishers along the beach, looking tothe hiring of | voats to go off from the sur/, but these old men _ who have lived all their lives on tne coast posi- tively refused to let their boats, stating tt would be impossible to get beyond the surf without being swamped. Tue laboring of heavy vessels off shore, which was watched by the umbreila covered crowd on the bluff, told it was impossible for a smail } boat to live in the sea. Besides, white coated waves lashing to and froa mile distant from the shore made it patent to ail that the men could not do justice to themselves in the matter o! time if Uney were to go out. Ben. Whiteman and Ed. Goodell, the trainers, posi- tively objected vo any arrangement looking toward the race between their men. They would not listen to their going out in such a sea, and as the stake- boat bad not come the race had better be post- poned, After much talk the men left the matter in the hands of their tramers, apd it was decided between them and Mr. Moss that the race snould come off on Tuesday next—same time, same plac As goon as the meeting was over the news spread rapidly, and there was a general stampede of the excarsionists toward the railroad depot, These excursionists, who knew nothing of the proceedings at the meeting, nad a great deal to say about what they called “put up job,” &¢., and lest the Branch in high disgust. The news was brought to the bind and In a few minutes the English and American flags, wnicn had been floating all morning, were hauled down simultaneously, and the summer houses stripped of their bunting, Notwithstanding these indications of postpone- ment and the heavy rain a large crowd remiuned on the bluff until Trautz and Jonnson went out for exercise. An hour after the exercise was over and the crowd tad dispersed the sun came out warm and bright (rom his biding place, laughing at his trick of the morning. | §8T. JOHN'S GUILD. \ The Work of Nine Days on the Floating | Hospital—Relief as It is Carried into the Homes of the Poor. After nine days’ work among the sick children on board the Floating Hospital the volunteers of St. Jonn’s Guild are forced to take a breathing spell. It will be of brief duration, however, as Mr. Wiswall, the energetic master, is determined to resume the excursions on Tuesday, the earliest possiple moment at which they can be continued. Necessity governs almost every impulse and act of the poor, yet it may not be generally known that on Saturdays they can rarely leave home. | The laborer of the family receives ois or her | weekly earnings on that day, and not only are all the little debts contracted during the weck to be | paid, that their credit—the buoy that keeps them afloat—may remain, but provision has to be made for the morrow, It is difficult, too, for the Guild to have the food prepared for a voyage on Monday morning, and so Tuesday becomes the first avuti- able day of the week and Friday the last. One other difficulty stands in the way ot constant | effort, and that is the lack of suiticient funds, Notwithstanding the tact that St. Jonn’s Guild, so late as last winter, was the means through which the generous everywhere Jed 35,000 of their un- fortunate brothers and sisters, tnere are still people so duil that they have never heard of the great volunteer charity of New York, It will not, then, appear strange that com- | paratively few persons know the extent of the work which the Guild ts at present performmug among the sick poor. The Floating Hospital ts bat one of the means in use by this noble charity in caring lor the most miserable of all the destitute. ‘The city is divided into medical districts, each in the care of acompetent physician, who has in- structions to attend all cases not coming within the limits of dispensary hours and practice, and to give each patient the same attention and care te would show to the child of a millionnatre. Medi- cines are furnished or prescriptions paid for by the Guild. Every physician is supplied with tne printed relief ticxet—available for 1ood on presen- tation at the Guild office in Varick street—such as have been already copied inthe HERALD. Thus the Sick in all quarters of the city can, on applica- tion, obtain medical attendance, medicines and suitable food without the payment of a single cent. The Floating Hospital, then, is merely a phase of the work, and the following will show what has been done in this direction:—fnere have been 7,441 persons on board the burge during the nine excursions. These have consumed 2,670 pounds of beel, 3,530 quarts of milk, 2,100 jouves of bread, 2 barrels of sugar, 1,100 pounds of boiled rice, 254 pounds of butter, 2 barrels of soda crackers, 1 bar- | relof pilot bread and 190 pounds of tea, Five thousand pounds of ice were Jurnished tree, prin. cipally by the Washtngton Ice Company. The iuture work of the Gaild wili depend in a great Meastre on the promptitude with which aid 1s iven to it by the charitable and generous of New york. THE THIRTEENTH WARD EXCURSION, fighteen Hundred Poor Children on the East River—How the Day Was Spent and What Were the Resul The eleventh excursion for the benefit of the poor children of the Thirteenth ward, which took place yesterday, under the management of Mr, George F, Williams, Was one of the most success. fal of the season. AS many as 1,750 children lett the environs of the Thirteenth ward during the rainy hours of the morning, and soon occupied places on the "Watcs Boat” and barge Republic at the foot of Broome street, on the Bast River, Colone: Williams was, as usual, the chiet inaugu. rator of the é¢xcursion, and Mr. Johu R, Groo acted a8 Manager of the police arrangement The boat started from its dock about nine o'clock, The number of males on board was 1,167, And the number of females 593. The whole num- ber ol excurstonists remained six hours at Orien- tal Grove, on the East River, The enjoyments were principally swimming and swinging on the ropes, with a short entertainment of the “Punc and Judy” specimen by Professor Dorsay. During , bathing the wearer and most precise as taken to make all equally satistied. Everything assed Off in A most satisfactory manner and the oys irequently cheered as uf delighted with (he event. The expenses of the excursion amounted to only $739—that is about forty seven cents to each tudi- vidual. This has been the most successful of Mr. Williams’ excursions, with the exception of tat ofthe Tenth ward, and ail seemed to be due to the care and management Of tose to Whom the whole affair Was entrusted, as well as to the pnilanthropic care of the manager.

J., on Friday, at tne | | age of sixty-seven, Mr. Sisson was born tn New | London, Conn., and came to Jersey City twenty- seven years ago. ‘1 was then,’ he remarked to the writerayear ago, “pretty well down in the world compared with my present position, There were only two ralireads running out of Jersey City, one to New Brunswick and the other to Pier+ mont (the Erie), when, after great efforts, [ pur- chased the Long Dock property, covered now al. most entirely by the Erie depot, for $20,000. Men told me I was crazy. To-day it is worth millions.’? Mr. Sisson was the sole owner of the Northern Railroad and acquired large tracts of property on the line of that road and elsewhere in the State. Next to the late Edwin A. Stevens he was the richest man in New Jersey. He was possessed of several millions at the time of his death. A few years ago he leased his road to the Erie Company. He was 4 director of the Hudson County Bank aud the State Insurance Company. In the memorable crisis of the Erie Ratlway Company a few years ago when the directory fled to Jersey City, Mr. Sisson gave an active support to Fisk, Gould, | Drew and Elaridge, having been for years a dire tor of the Erie. He was twice married, but bork wives preceded him to the grave. He leaves two sons and a daughter, Dr. R. R. Hazard. Dr. Rowland R. Hazard, aged eighty-three years, died thts morning. He was considered an emi- nent pharmacist, and was universally respected throughout New England.
