Reach the Victor in the First Heat of the Single Sen) Contest. TROY, Sept. 3, 1874. Good weather, good racing and good manage- ment combined to make very successful the first @ay of tne second annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen on the Laureate course. Much of the interest which clung @round the occasion was due to the fact that all of the four-oared crews had but Fecenily met at Saratoga, aud the result on the lake being so unexpected there was great @esire to test the new and unknown rival, the Beaverwycks, in another contest. Not only this, but the other contests arew together many spec- tators {rom far and near, so that along the course this morning the attendance was commensurate . With the important character of the national meeting and the zeal displayed by the projectors in providing the citizens of Troy and all who chose to attend so interesting an exhibition of skill with the oar, backed up by pluck and endurance. Along the eastern bank of the Hudson, up and @own so far as the course extends, there Wasa dense mass of humanity, and on the bal- conies of the Ulysses and Laureate club houses and Waters’ boat factory the elegant and lovely Jadies of this city and Albany were packed so closely that moving aronnd must have been at- tended with the destruction of much that was Valuabiec in the line of silks and Jaces. Again, on the western bank, though the sun was quite bright, there were long lines of vebicles, and from the windows of the jew pretty residences there peered with anxious eyes throngs of ladies and’ thelr escorts, ana ever and anon trom the crowds on either side of the river general shouts or en- couragement were waited to the oarsmen as they paddied about the starting point. It bad been arranged that upon this, the opening Gay, the trial heats, one and a half miles each, for fours, pairs and singles, should be rowed, the final. heats to fill out the programme to-morrow. The Water was alittle lumpy in the morning, but the ‘weather was the very pink of perfection, the heat on the river being sufficiently tempered by the cooling breeze to render outdoor exercises plea- uravle. Tugs for the referee, starter and other officials were provided, as also a large barge forthe purpose of taking the shelis of the competing oarsmen to the starting point, and these leit the Laureate boat house promptly at the time announced, The captains of those boats were notified that they would be required to keep Out of the way of all contestants, when with the crowds cheering, the band playing and the bright skies and glinting sunshine seeming to cheer on the soon-to-be-engaged oarsmen, the crews named for the initial contest were assigned to the po- Bitions below given, No. 1 being nearest fre eastern or Lansingourg shore of the rive!

The wind about one o’clock nauled to the west- ward, and, biowing up the course, ruified it badly, Making terribie work for tbe oarsmen, but the referee, Mr. Frank Bacon, Ol the Nastius Club, de- cided to start them on their mission, and at thirty- five minutes past two, after the customary warn- ing, gave the word. Obedient to the mandate, each of the dozen athletic rowers threw into ther bronzed arms all the propelling power of which they were capable, while the spectators gazed anxiously upon the tying Fails, hoping to see their favorites an advantage over their rivals. This Pleasure was vouchsafed those whose sympathies Were with the Bergen Pointers; tor, jumping away With the lead at 40 to the minute, they had pulled the nose of their craft tar enougn ahead, alter going an eig th of a mile, to admit ot Smith diverging to the westward across the bows of tne Wah-Wwah-sums and Gramercies, the latter having it nip and tuck allthe way. Hali a mile down the Argonautas had three lengtts the advan- » and now reduced their stroke to 36, where they held it to the finish. Hare | with a vim going by the mouth of the Mohawk, the Graweércies led the Western men a length, but this was heid only @ short time, as the latter answered their spur’ and, peggin away for dear lite, their sbeils were head and nead jor almost hulf a mile. The lads from New Jersey all this while were not called upon to turn on tull steam, an easy-going stroke taking them to the ‘winning point three lengths ahead of their game competitors.

Narrow Escape of Summer Residents— The Sawkill House in Imminent Dan- ger—The Loss and Insurance. MILFoRD, Sept, 3, 1874, At an early hour yesterday morning a fire was discovered in this place in a building occupied by Finger & Van Etten as a ary goods store and | James Hutchinson, tailor, E. H, Mott, with his Wife and child, had rooms also in the building. The fumes had made such progress when dis- | covered that the building was entered only with | extreme difficulty and danger. Great excite- ment prevailed for some time, as it was supposed that the family of Mr. Mott were | in their room, Fortunately every member of tne | family was absent at the time. A lew feet from | the building in which the fire originated was the residence of Mrs. Ann Wells, and opposite are the | Sawkill House and Mrs. Salmon’s cottage. Mrs, Wells’ house, besides the regular inmates, was occupied by the Misses Duke, of Brookiyn, who had rooms there for the season. They were not aroused until almost surrounded py the flames, ‘Their rooms were broken inio and they escaped to the Sawkiil House in their nigntciotues, by the great exertions of the citizens and THE NUMEROUS VISITORS from the city, who occupied rooms ou every side of the fire, the contents of Mrs. Weils’ house were saved, but the building was entirely cousumed, ‘The tumates JT the Sawkill House, principally guests from New York city and Brooklyn, although in imminent danger, preserved noteworthy cooiness, and, although their valuables were made ready to be removed at the frst warning, they were saved from the effects of panic. Mrs. Saimon’s cottage, adjoining the Sawkill House, was also threatened with destruction, but the inmates acted with great coolnt The splendid maple and other shade trees in front of these buildings no doubt revented the fire (rom communicating to them, ortunately there was no breeze stirring or no possible effort, with the absence of all means to combat Dre, coud have suved the lower part of the village. THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED belonged to the estate of John R, Wells, and were not insured. They were valued at $5,00U, Finger & ¥an Etten lost (heir entire stock of goods, Loss $7,000; insured in the Phenix, of Hartiora, and Continental and Hanover of New York, for $5,00u, FE. H. Mott lost @ valuable collection of books aud papers and ail his turniture, clothing, &0. THE ORIGIN of the fre is not positively ‘known.
