Places have been reserved for ladies and the gentlemen accompanying them where the tar- gets and the members of the teams engaged in the match can be seen to advantage, and tents have been erected for the use of the invited guests and Sherr friends. It will be remembered that the match was | brought about by Major Leech, who organized the | Irish team in 1867, and not, a8 some people sup- pose, by a challenge from the Americans. In Oc- tober, 1873, the Mayor boidly challenged the Ameri, ean rifemen to a trialof sk li, he agreeing to select a team of four or six from the eight who | won the Elcho Shield against the English and Beottish teams, to compete witn the Americans. Colonel Wingate promptly accepted the chat- fenge on behalf of the rfemen of the United States, Some little diMcuity was | at first experienced in the arrangement of the served, The Lord Mayor at times conversea freely on the pleasing impressions he haa formed ol the Empire City. A noticeable leature was the [poerece ‘of many Germans, who grasped the Lord ayor'’s hand with a8 much earnestness as the regiment of admirers of nis own nationality. The levee was brought to @ close shortly aiter three o'clock, when the Lord Mayor drove to the Windsor Hotei. YACHTING NOES. There is much interest and specolation in yacht- ing circles regarding tne coming race over we New York course between the schooners Magic and Comet, on the 3d prox., for the Bennett Chal- lenge Cup. Ever sitce the preliminaries of the contest were settled it has been earnestly com- mented upon, and now that the day for the race is fast approaching the chances of success for the respective boats receives much attention, Tne Magic, as 18 weil known, has an excellent record, extending throagh several seasons, and the Comet, though new, has already achieved quite @ reputation. The jormer is owned by Mr. W. T, Garner, and is of the follow- ing dimensions:—Length over all, 81 feet 1 inch; length ot water line, 78 fect; breadth of beam, ex- treme, 20 feet; depth of hold, 6 teet 3 inches; draught of water, 6 Jeet 7 inches; tonnage, old measure- ment, 90.79 tons.

The latter, in Uhe storm oflast week, Unior unately Went ashore near Pawrapo, and was bot got of until Thurs. day. Ibis certain that she is not injured, but sne will be put on the ways at Port Richmond on Mon- day ana receive tho attention vemanded. Wiih tair weather aud a steady breeze there will be much excitement down the bay on the day of this Mr. John J. Treadwell, owner of the EmmaT., yesterday cnaienged the owner of the Recreation, Winner Of the champion pennant, second class sioops, Brooxlyn fall regatta, to a race for that coveted prize under the ruie of the club pas.ed August 26. No doubt the answer will be one of acceptance and tne day eariy agreed upon. ‘the contest will be interesting and pioauce much ex- citement among the Brooklyn genUemen, Tne regatta aunounced to take place at New Ro- cheile 10-day has been indefinitely post) one. 1ti8 rumored that a very important race for twenty-eight feet yachts ison the tapts, as it is preliminaries, Major Leecn beimg auxious to have mot more than tour in the team, and the ranges to be 800, 900, 1,000 and 1,100 yards, whereas Colonel Wingate desired that the 1,100 yards range shovid | be dispensed with ana the team fixed at six, and | M possivle eight, ‘The Irish team, through | Major Leech, finally decided not to insist | pon the 1,100 yard range and it was agreed, therefore, that the team should consist at least | of @ix, the option as to whether it should pe six or eight being lot with the Irish, The other day the Irish, as is already known, fixed their team at six, and they came to this decision after wit- | messing the practice of the American team. The | decision created some disappointment among the | Americans who bad hoped to be of the team ff the maximum bumber had been fixea upon. This was natural under the circumstances; but as the agreement between Major Leecn and Co onel Wingate expressly proviced that tne Irish svoula, aiter their arrival here, have the option of making the team consist of six or eight at their good pleasure, no matter how unpieasant the decision have been to two or three ambi- shots, it was in order and nobody's business but those most imterested—the Irish themselves, Atany rate One thing may be said, that everything in relation to the contest has been done by both teams in the most irtendly | srit and no attempt by either has been made at any time to take a mean advantage of tne otner. The struggie {or the ma-tery will be carriea on, too, in the same spirit, and whichever team wins to-day will win on its merits aione. | THE TAKGETS, | The targets and scoring to be used im the match | will be in accordance vith the rules of the Na- tional Rifle Association—viz., targets six feet gh | by tweive wide, having a@ black bull’s eye three | feet square, surrounded by the “centre”? six leet | square, the rest of the target constituting the | “outer ;’’ bull’s eyes counting jonr points, centres three and outers two. Any -ignts are to be al- Jowed but telescopic, magnilying and such as conceal tne target so as to pievent the danger signal from being seen. Any kind of ammunition 18 to be allowed and f@ny position will be permitted which can be taken on level ground without artificial rests, | Each teain is to consist of six men. It was a spe- | cific condition when the match was settled upon | definitely that the American team should Le com. | peed exclusively of men born in the Unhed tates, while it Was also provided in the agree- | ment that the Irish team should consist of ten goalined to SNOOi iN the Irish eight at Wimbledon, | fn the matter of rifles there 18 to be no restric. | tion, with the exception that the Americans must | shoot with American made riftes and the Irish wiih | rifes manufactured by John Rigby & Co., of Dublin, and that the weight must not exceed ten | tee and the pull of the trigger not to be ies han three pounds, Each competitor is to have | @iteen shots at each range. | THK TEAMS.

A Fine Contest Between the Atlantics and the Great Chicago Giants, The game on the Union Grounds yesterday after- noon between the Atlantics and the Chicago “Giants” attracted but about 400 spectators, and | was won by the Brooklyn nine by a@ score of 3 to 1, Considering the style in which the “Giants” bave been playing recently it was very generally thought that che Atlantics would have no show of winning the game, and, acting on this belief, the betting men lat their money at odds of 100 to 30 on the visitors und paid dearly for the venture. Bond's pitching was never the Giants hitting him for but three rst bases durmg the entie game, The single run scored by the Western men waa given them by @& poor throw from iett field to the home piate, for this error they would have received a whole nest of “duck eggs,” Of the individual play, that by Martin and Dehl- Taan of the Atlantics was the best, while on benalf of the Giants, Force and Hines pore off the palm, The score follows :— Pearce, Bond, p 1b Glenn, Ist Ty . eh TR Meee, 1.

CONVENTION OF IRISHMEN, The Convention of Irish Socteties met last night | at Hibernia Hall, tn Prince street. The purpose | of this meeting Was to consider the invitation which the Rey. Pather Larkin bas sent to the so- cleties represented in the Convention to de present at the dedication, on Sunday, October 4, of the new Church of the Holy Innocents, situated on Thirty- seventh street, near Broadway. The Convention quickly decided to accept the invitation, and one of the delegates from the Hibernian societies eulogized Father Larkin as che oniy Catnolic priest who had asked those organizations to take part at Chorch ceremonias, | Shakespeare’s Blunders an Argv- | ———ae, plondering rings and ofMcial corruptions. Third, ifhe had nad tne time to write the plays of Shake- speare, he had neither the genius, the imaginas tion, the temperament, toe training nor the the- atrical experience and taste as a skilled laborer required to produce Shakespeare’s plays, Fourth, from his extensive learning, Bacon, even if con« suiied in the preparation of these plays for the stage, could not bave committed and would not have tolerated their glaring and ridiculous cirone- logical and geographical blunders, which, per- haps, more than any other intrinsic evidence, prove them the work of Shakespeare. He was 0% ascbolar, He was agenins, @ poct, a keen ob- | server of men und th ngs; but he was @ practical man, withal, and wrote his plays, not for glory or posterity, but Jor so much money and for present uses. Ad for his blunders, we repeat, tbey prove the claim to his plays against Bacon beyond all question, For instance, in the ‘Midsummer igit's Dream’ we have Theseus, as a contem- porary of Hercules, making this statement:— Tuxskvs—o doudt they rose up early, to observe The rite of Say, Here Shakespeare reicra to the old English May- day celebration of the young people in their dances around the May pole, &c. inat there was no month o!
