Among the prominent per- Bous here are Vice President Wilson, who will attend the regavta; ex-Governor Engtish and ex- Governor Hofman. Several hundred carriages and other vehicles have arrived from different places and will be used to convey passengers to snd from the lake. Since the arrival of almost the first of the crews the weather has been unusually good for rowing purposes, the hent not being severe on more than two days, and much of the time being agreeably cool here, One effect of this will be to bring tne men tothe score heavier than our crews usually are, and in all probanility, therefore, stronger and fitter to make good time, while the absence of fret and any of the annoyances incidental to a great heat will also tend to that end. It was announced ina recent letter that the ume of both Fresnman and University races had deen changed from eleven o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock, It has now been changed back again, Tie Regatta Commitiee held a meeting recently to consider the subject, and were so strongly urged by the representatives of Saratoga to make the change that, with considerable re- Juctance, they Agreed t9.d0 £0. THE RECsRERS’ ST#AM LAUNCH Qrrived on Saturday, and yesterday went over the course on a trial trip. 1t made one mile in five minutes and four seconds against a high wind, which checked its speed considerably. This would be at the rate of three milesin less than seventeen minutes, which 1s, probably, better than the time of the winning boat; and the praettce of all the crews here would seem to fully justify the belief that the course this year, ag has been noted In a Previous letter, ts longer than that of last year, Even Columbia admits that it 1s two seconds longer. But rumor says vbat Mr. Kussis, who laid 16 out, admits that itis one-sixteentn of a mile longer. Tnis would be a matter of twenty or twenty-flye seconds, Still it 18 claimed to be a correct course now, and as it runs in a broader part of the lake than last year and end ata bet- ter piace, it is likely, i the races continue to be held here, to become the permanent track, As the day for the University race draws near the Interest 1s on the increase 'o @ marked degree, Carriage loads o! ladies and genilemen are coming and going constantly from the village, visiting the various quarters, and inquiring eagerly about the welfare of the meu, their hopes and prospects, As has been before suggested, these very crowds of friends coming to see the crews will prove a very serious matter, particularly to the Yale men, as they are located near the place first reached in driving out from Saratoga—namely, Moon's, Captain Cook has haa mach difficulty with his boats, the first one thet he got proving a failure aud hopes, ts said also to be seriously defective, Still 1 ig veing overhauled and will be made to suit, although if the boat lose the crew afew seconds, in @ contest of such @ close nature aa this, it is pretty sure to lose them a piace ia the race, Yale wins, her dificuities in this respect should be borne in mind aua placed to her cred ac- cordingly, ACCIDENT TO WILLIAMS. Within @ minute or two of six o'clock Saturday afternoon as the Coracil Freshman crew were pass- ing down the lane thus assigned them—namely, that of Wilhains, tac westernmost of all covering the track on time—shortly after they had passea the two-mile and a quarter flag the Wilhams men were seen approaching also at arapid rate. Tao flagging of the course has removed the necessity of the bow oarsiman looking round, being now able to get his bearing from the range of fags be- hind—that isin his front—bia boat. Relying on this ip beth IMstances the ciews came sharply toward each otger, and those of us louking on | saw that A COLLISION must be almost inevitable, though too far away for warning cries to reach the ears of the crews, In the next moment came 4 duli crash, suggest- Ing 1a a small Way the telescoping of two railroad trains, The two crews were seen tosita moment quite still Makiog up as rapidly as possibie and cailing up other parties who had not seemed to observe 18 we found that one of the Corneil men had struck the bow oarsman of Williams, mr.

Little harm was done to the Cornell boat, though she had her washboard brokea some wnat and two of the outriggers were badiy wrencaed. Mr. Waters, of Troy, who bait the boat, was telegrapued for and came up at once. The ‘damages sustained vy Cornell can be readily repaired.

J, Jaly 12, 1875. Everybocy was early astur ths morning, Suxious to note the weather, A thin haze bung over the laud, ana for atime it was feared the firat of the Cape May races would be little else than a drifting sail, Jn realty the result was Worse; it Was @ bitter disappoimtment, By nine o’clock the haze was dispelled, and long before the Regatta Committce was ready for the start the indications were that the day would be toler- ably auspicious, even if the wiud was not ail that the yachtsmeu desired, Along tho beach as far as the eye could reach all clas. and kinds of the human ‘amily were massed with eager expecta- tion on their faces. From the hotels there was disviayed a rich profusion of bunting, and avout = the |nuchorage of we racers were scores of sailboats, a few tugs and all the usual “crowd” that con- gregate on such occasions. The committec’s steamer, Tallahoosa, Was gayly dressed from truck to rail, and the Plymouth Rock, from New York, with @ small parfy of excursionists, looked ex- ceedingly pretty. On board the yachts all was in readiuess and everything in racing trim, so that the scene, both on land and on the water, was of the most animated description, 1t was a fitting tribute to the gentlemen who had been instru. mental tn arranging the reunion off this point of the finest modetied pleasure vesseis afloat, ana 16 Was equally giatifying to the owners o/ the yacats Who enguged in tie contest. GRTTING READY. After @ little delay the Tailahoosa ‘steamed to # position opposite the Stockton House and anchored oulsids & stakeboat, when the yacuts in quick succession luted anchor and tacked about awaiting the starting signal At 10h, 42m, the gun signalling “to get ready”? was fred, ana ten minutes later tne boats prepared to cross the line, The wind was very light und the food tide running like a millrace, @ condition of affairs that rendered 1t impossible for she squad- ron \o reach the line. The only exception was the Kambler, whica sacceeded in catching a hat full of wind, and barely managed in getting over it Within the allotted time of fifteen minutes, tho sho Was compelled to immediately anchor in order to prevent being drified back to her old position, THE PRESIDENT’S MOVEMENT. Meanwhile the revenue cutter Hamilton, with President Grant and suite on board, who had de- termined to steam over the course, finding there was but little chance for a race, neaded for Long Branch, the President being exsremely a@pxious to reach that place as the earliest prac- ticavle moment. This provoking state of affairs de- cided the committee to wait lor a breeze and start the fbn ts again. The squadron had anchored, and Fleet Captain Bend signalized the decision of ibe commiitwe, Which met with Bearty concur- rence, A POSTPONEMENT, After weartly waiting two hours, with hardly Wind suiicient to snulf a candle, and occasionally Obtaibing dashes of rai, all nds became di gustec, and a meeting of captains on board Dagsnip Mohawk was called, conclave in- dorsed the decision of the Regatta Committee, Wijeh 1s— * ent Bet ‘Yhere being no chance for a race the down ior w-day 18 postponed until to-morrow, and in case of a second failure both races to take place on Wednesday. ‘The crowd of strangers still remain, wishing to see the races, Agrand ball takes place at Congress Hail to- night, whue 10-morrow evening the Stockton ives its grand reception to the yachtsmen, when the prizes won tu the firat race will be presented. YACHT RACE AT ALBANY. ALBANY, July 12, 1875. In the yacht race to-day, which was continued from the 5th of July, twelve boats started. The C. R.

The second trip of the HeRatp lightning train from New York to this point was completed yes terday afternoon with olaracteristic success. It Was ascertained that the distance was accom. pilshed in less time and with more evenness thao on the jJouraey preceding, which, it may be r>- membered, created so mucd excitement in this quarter, Not single bitch occurred from start to finish; as the conductor mimself expressed it, tue whole thing was as easy as “rolling off a log.” ‘The train leit the Grand Ventral depot at nalf-past two on Sunday morning and arrived at Suspen- sion Bridge at twenty minu‘es to two P. M. on the same day. Owing to tho excellent system adopted the train was not beningd a single instant; indeed at several of the stations it was a little ahead of sehecue time, a condition that no traveller evr complained of, ex: cept, perhaps, @ prisover em route to the Penttentiary. From New York to Poughkeepsie, @ distance of seventy-three miles, Engine No, 84, in charge of Engineer Archie Buchanan, glided over the ground in excellent style. It is stxty. nine miles from Poughkeepsie to Albany, and En- gineer “Boney” Kasson, whose eye is so keen that he cap see “head” or ‘tail’ to a certainty twenty yards away from any “copper” lying on the rail, made Engine No. 75 astonish the natives. The train arrived at Albany at ten minutes to six o’clock A. and all hands were allowed # respite of “ten minutes for refresbments.” The ran frony Albany to Syracase was made by Engine No, 284, in charge of Engineer Sam Austin, who, having finished his 148 miles in turee hours and twenty minutes, naturally comp!:mented nis faithful tron steed, which literally went ‘ike @ biue streak,’ as the saying 1% Engine No, 110, in charge of Engineer Jem Wood, & sturdy and wholesome specimen ofa man, brought the ligntning train from Syracuse to Buffalo, a distance of 150 miles, in three hours and twenty minutes, A promment feature in connection with the Journey was the smoothness which marked if from beginning to end, Thousands of papers were distributed with the regularity and precision of clockwork, and jocuna day had not long dawned before the spec- tators thronged at many stations to witness not only the distribation of the scarcely dried journals, but the ligntning speed at which the iron mem senger on wheels went on its mission, mr. G. H. Burrows, Superintendent of the Western Division of the New York Centra! Railroad, accompanted tho train from Syracuse to Suspension Bridge, and will do so every Sunday. It is almost need- less to add that the trip was fraught with all the excitement, pleasure and novelty which an event of the Kind would naturaily give rise to, TWENTY-FOUR HOURS IN ADVANCE OF ANY OTHER NEW YORK PAPER.
