The Vote Light—Coalitions of Liquor Men and Democrats Successful—Joyce Elected to Congress—Probably nv Choice in Poland’s District, RUTLAND, Vt., Sept. 2, 1874. Returns are being received very slowly. The vote is lighter than that of 1872, Peck, republican candidate for Governor, has probably received but little less majority than that of Converse in the last election, which was about 25,000, Coalitions were effected in several of the larger towns or the State by the opponents of the prohibitory liquor law and the democrats, which resulted in the election of town democratic representatives. This is notably the case in Rutland ana Burlington, both of which give an increased republican majority on the State ticket over the vote of 1872. Mr. Charles W. Joyce is elected to Congress from the First district by a large majority, In all out of twenty-seven towns heard from his majority stands 584, which will probably be increased at Teast 1,500, The Hon. Luke P. Poland, from the Second Con- gressional district, has, it is avout conceded, not been re-elected, there being probably no choice, If so a new election will have to be held, The Hon. George W.

Nominations and for Loss Between $60,000 and 870,000— The Insurance Unknown. A fire which must have been long secretly gathering strength, suddenly burst through the flooring of the main deck of the Long Branch steamer River Belle, lying at Pier North River, at about a quarter of one o'clock this morning. Its spitetul snapping when it came into the air, and asi fixed upon the slight upper timbers of the boat, quickly awakened the crew of the vessel. Tuey were powerless for a few minutes, however, and had as much as they could easily do to escape from the flames. The fire leaped into view redundant with life and force, which it developed rapidly and in the game way a8 Plymouth pastor says churches should develop and grow. Little by little it absorbed its platform, then crept up the frail wreck, here and there starred with sparkling ru- bies; but even these soon disappeared, und the remainder of former briiliancy. The steamer was built two years ago and made her frst trip on the Fourth of July, 1872. She is said to be owned by Oliver Char- lick, who, previous to last summer, had her running between’ Newport and Prov- idence. Since she leit that line she has been chartered by the American Steamship Com- pany, for ‘whom she has been running etween this city and Long Branch, At the time of the appearance of the fire the sveamer was lying close up to the pier, and It be- came the first care of the firemen to get her as tar away from the contiguous vessels and wharf buildings as possible. The stern lines were cut, aud in a fow minutes the burning boat had swung around, so that the fire was some thirty or forty feet from the wharf. The flames did not extend further forward than mid- that it was not necessary to let the bow joose from its moorings. At the time of our going to press there was every in- dication that the bow anda portion of the hull would be saved, The loss will probably /oot up to to be fully covered by insurance.

The course selected was that of the Hudson River Amateur Rowing Assocl- ation, Known 4s the Pleasant Valley Course. The weather was delightful, scarcely a ripple was dis- cerned on the water, and, indeed, all of the conai- tions were as favorable as could have been de- sired. There were four events on the programme, three single scull races and one for four-oared boats. The first race was for senior sculls, the prize being an elaborate championship belt, pre- sented by Mr. Thomas Connolly, For this race, which was three miles, there were five entries—James McCartney (white), James McCabill (blue and white), Philip S. Biglin (flesh), Augustus Schneider (blue), Thomas J. Allen (red). McCahill was the favorite in this race, and for the first mile justified the opinions of his backers, but unfortunately the seat in his boat gave way, thus losing him the race. McCartney came in the win- ner in 24m. 273, closely followed by Schneider, two seconds later, with Biglin third and Allen last. ‘The second race was for junior sculis, for which there were five entries—Charles Harth (blue), P. MeSorley (blue and white), Augustus Adams white and biue), John Hatton (green and white), ames Smith (green and red).

There were tour entries, William Dittmar, Wiliam Murray, Alvert Sauer and Peter P. Moor The send of was a good well contested. Dittmar won in 8m. 158, with Moore second, evivently much distressed, Murray third and Sauer last. ‘The last and great race of the day, for four-oared shells, proved a disappointment inasmuch as one ot the shells was sunk and tne occupants sub- jected toaducking. The entries were Augustus Schnetier, Voilip S. Biglin, William Hurley. Wil- liam H. Hughes; James Smith, substitute; color, red, Thomas J. Alien, M. J, Murray, James Mc- Cartney, Philip Christie; Augustus Adams, substi- tute; color, white.

The whites then turned the stakeboat and rowed easily home, passing tue finishing line in 25m. 5s. Cosgrove, of the Friendship club, and Mr. Henry Brown, of the Gramercy, acted as judges, with Mr. ‘Thomas Connolly as reieree.

Have the Horrid Men Any Rights °? __—+-——-- THE LADIES’ PARTNERS. No Hoop and Mallet Sport for Gentlemen. NPE s Rea WHAT WILL SUSAN B, ANTHONY SAY? “Dou’t you think that gentlemen should be al- lowed to play croquet with the ladies im the Cen- a fair young girl who stood under the shade of an overhanging beech tree at the north end of the croquet ground, just opposite the Lenox Library in the Park. No prettier picture could be imagined than that of the fair young girl who stood leaning against the tree, the lances of a September sun shining through the boughs and falling im golden splendor on her pure white muslin dress. Her dimpled cheeks beamed with happi- ness and her deep blue eyes were as clear as crystal or a sapphire stone. Lilting her mallet she struck @ bail and it glided fairly through a wicket and struck another ball. She had never seen a reporter before, and was rather Umid at being questioned until the writer ex- plained his business and told her that an inquiry was being made caused by the protests of many | gentlemen who desired to play croquet in the Park with ladies and were not allowed to do it because of the fiendish disposition of the Park Commissioners. The young lady, on being spoken to, introduced the reporter to ber three lady com- pantons who were playing with her the delicious game of croquet, It wonld not be in good taste to make puplic the surnames of the young ladies, but it may be sufficient to state that they belong in the aristocratic neighborhood of Seventy-ninth street, just east of the Park, and were made known to the reporter as Miss Cora, Miss Mamue, | Miss Josephine and Miss Mattie. Miss Mamie was the first young lady spoken to—a blonde; the other three were bruneties, This young lady, in answer to the question pro- pounded, said:— “I cannot very well tell what you wish to know; butif you ask me if ladies would prefer to play croquet with gentlemen instead of young ladies, I think I must acknowledge that we would be in favor of gentlemen.” Miss JossPuINE—Yes, it adds interest to the game, and gentlemen are very often better play- | ers than the ladies. I Know that we play more more rapidity. interesting. Miss Mattie (ina very gushing and confidential | manner that was very bewitehtug)—On, I know that I would far prefer to play croquet j with gentlemen. But there are the naughty and hateiul Park Commissioners, and I am i sare I don’t know why they prevent gentle men from playing croquet. It is the same as if the proprietor of a ball room were not to allow gentic- | mep to dance with ladies, When the sun is quite hot it is very aificult for young ladics to carry the croquet boxes Co the croquet nouse. Some of | Lue boxes weigh a3 much as fity pounds, and 1 do The games are shorter and more here to carry them. Miss JOSEPHINE (® splendid brunette, with a | suoulders)—Yes, 1 feel real augry sometimes when | 1 see that horrid old man, the keeper of the croquet ground, drive any gentiemen off tue com- mou who may’ come to icok at our games. lam inightened when I see him using tobacco in such | large mouthuuis. Miss Cora (a languishing beauty, in a gray linen | suit, immed with black braid)—I am sure he is | quite horvid, and so very unreasonable. he ought not to drive the young men away. At | any rate Lhope Colonel Stebbins, who is a perfect gentleman, will allow our gentlemen friends to ! come here every day. If not 1 am certain that the | game of croquet will not last ioug. REPORTER—I have understood, ladies, from in- | formation given me, that at one time when gen- tlemen were allowed to play croquet with ladies | they aid not act right, and caused their exclusion trom the ground. ALL THE YOUNG LADIES IN A CHORUS—We never | saw tbem do anything rude. They always acted | With great decorum, and no gentleman would come here to make pay trouble, Please, Mr. Reporter, say in the HERALD that all the ladies are im favor of having | gentlemen play croquet on the grounds. highly ridiculous to prevent them, and the Park Commissioners shoula be compeied to permic | | their presence with the ladies. | that they will behave rudely. Miss Minnig—And please say that the weather | will soon become too cold to play croquet, and that the month of September is the best month to piay | croquet, the weather is 80 deugltiul. ‘A REQUEST DENIED, After our reporter had bade the young ladies good aay. which was courteously acknowledged by vnem, the horrid monster of a man who has charge of the croquet grounds came, and in a very surly way ordered him to leave the grounds. ‘the re- porter asserted his rights as a citizen, and asked why he should be compelled to leave the grounds. The horrid monster, who was busily engaged in chewing tobacco, stated that no one was allowed to visit or walk on the croquet ground un- | less he had a permit irom Mr. Columbus Ryan, who 18 supposed to be the owner of the Park, with all | its Messuages, appurtenances and live stock. As the reporter was desirous of finding out how far | this horrible despotism could be carried, he walked | through a delgntful winding patn to the old \ arsenal, at present occupied asa museum. Mak- | ing inquiry for Mr. Columbus Ryan in the office on the secoad floor, he was tnlormed that that gentie- man was not present, and a clerk declared that he would give any iniormation necessary. The writer then asked him fora permit to play croquet for tour ladies and four gentlemen. The clerk, who was very polite and civil, leaned back in bis chair and sald :— “I cannot give you pass or permit. Mr. Ryan | will not give a permit to gentlemen to play | croquet,” “But there are ladies to play croquet with the gentlemen, and I cannot see why Mr. Ryan should ‘deny the right to tue male sex, Is there any | reason for this denial ?’” | CLERK or THE PaRK—There is an order issued py the Park Commissioners not to permit it, and Mr. Ryan has to obey oraers. There was a time | when gentlemen did play croquet, bat the iadies | complained that they were orett th by trem, and | 46 became necessary to prevent their presence | here, RePORTER—Then will you give mea permit for | four ladies, so that they may come here and play | croquet when I shall inform them ? | CLERK OF THE PARK—Most certainly. Give me the ladies’ names. It is not necessary to give all | the names of the tour ladies. The permit is not to be given to the keeper unless he asks for it. The Fen a gerne was then given to the re- porter as a citizen, the clerk stating that croquet was permissible to ladies on three days of the | week—Tuesday, Thursday and Satarday—at any hour of the day, a hint being also given that the best time to play this noble game, which despotism 1g endeavoring to crush, would be in the mornings and evenings :— MISS SOUTHGATR’S PERMIT.

The | Colonel was only too desirous to rant all citizens their rights in the ‘ark | yet he vhougns nat there should | not be any special privileges granted to any par- | ticular class, and that the rules of the Park were made with @ view to prevent any encroachment by any class.

Of course there was bo intentional damage done, yet the result was the same. Ten millions of peo- ple visited the Park every year for good air and enjoyment, while perhaps 50,000 of that number visited tor the purpose of playing base bali and croquet.
