— me spirits. Every concelvanie trap was pressed into service. Some might have been used as commissary wagons in the Revolution, Some consisted of @ square box frame, with a few boards laid from side to side, on which elegant ladies and gentlemen were in many instances only too glad to be accommodated, There were huge omnibuses, drawn by four horses and’ capable of holding thirty or forty The horses wore plumes of red, and blue, and on their. whip Bandles tne drivers carried college favors. Lemonade, bread aad express wagons were num- berea among those impressed into the service of transporting the strangers in and out of town. he drivers were under the surveillance of the Baratoga Rowing Association, and sternly cau- tioned against practising extortion. All the pub- Mc hacks and private carriages within the limits of Saratoga were out daring the day. The coming nome from @ horse race or from any exhibition that excites the emotions strongly ts always apt to be attended by B good deal of boisterousness. To-day was no exception to the rule. The college boys shouted themselves hoarse and turned every trifling tncl- fient on the road into@ source of energetic mer- riment. The colors of the various crews were tonspicuously displayed, and where they were the winning ones or near being winners they were very emphatically flaunted. The ladies were prominent in HOLDING OUT THR COLORS to which they had pledged themselves, The drive home then, as may be imagined, was to Yome degree exciting. The country drivers were \n many cases persuaded by their city patrons to test their horses speed to an alarming extent and very ludicrous spectacle was offered heve and there along the road of a pair of DECAYED NAGS seeking to keep pace with a team of thorough- breds, A black horge yoked to a beer garden wagon fell dead on the road from heat and exhaustion. He lookedas if substantial food had been a Stranger to bis vitals for a long time and that mineral water entirely constituted bis diet, At the Vuedelean House a Gensée mass of vehicles, mostly of country make and hybrid designs, were parkea among the big trees, awalting the brehk up of the day’s great gathering. A scene bi much momentary confusion happened here when the multitude coming up™from the beach made a rush for the country wagons, The drivers sighed for tndiarabbor seats that could be stretched te accommo- fate twice as many as offered themselves. Table cloths, bed quilts, tidies, crocheted in red And white, were huug out of windows, and 4 nude statue, life size, of a fighting gladiator, standing ‘wn the atiractive grounds of a resident on the Boulevard, held @ mop in tts hand, from which depended the red and white of Cornell. His head was bound with @ wreath of the same colors. This was tonsidered @ happy compliments, ‘The colora ap- propriately suited the gladiator and the gladia hor as @ representative of courage, muscle and endurance appropriately represented the win- ving crew. AFTER THE RACE. ‘HE CELEBRATIONS IN SARATOGA-—TERPSI- CHOBEAN STUDENTS “‘MAKING THE MOST OF 1r”—REUNION OF HARVARD AND YALE, The conclusion of a fair and square race has been velebrated by the remainder of the crews leit over in Saratoga in @ very hilarious and pnilosophical manner, About four o’clock in the afternoon the boys of Columbia, joined by the boys of Harvard, assembled in front ot the Unitea States Hotel and proceeded to cheer for Cornell’s victory and to ‘alute each other with those set and peculiar college cheers which distinguished vach academio community as much as tts eolors, There were about 150, as It appeared, of ‘@iies wearing Columbia’s blue and white in badges and hat bands, There must have been 1,000 ladies attired or or- namented Wit the same colors, waving scarfs and kerchieis of blue and wiite from the hotel piazzas, being on their native heain, These metropolitan ladies had a fine constituency, and there can be no question that the regattas of these past two years have signally assisted to bring Colambia forward sma piewe witir Ih vue academic fore- ground it occupied three-quarters of a century ago, There were at least a hundred Harvards sarrying the draperu rouge and reddened im various parts of thelr attire. Last year when Harvard and Yale had their inexorable foul, and grew suiky and ceased to be on speaking terms, Harvard took advantage of Columbia's victory and took the initiative in greeting the metropolitan college. Yale was thus ieft out in the cold, and Wesieyan University reached out its band to the discontented crew. TO-DAY YALE AND HARVARD, though beaten, began to grow kind toward each other. They made Cvlumbia the nredium of mu- tual approaches, After both had cheered Volum- bia some time and sung college songs in the streets it was agreed that all colleges should unite in a welcome to the two Cornell crews—freshman and university, as they entered the village from the lake. Accordingly the Cornell men, who were waiting for their Champions to come in from the lake, took position with open ranks in Congress Bpring Park. They carried a broom, after the fashion of Van Tromp, siguifying that they had swept the seas. It was bound with the Corneil colors, Between them passed in or- der Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Wesieyan, Williams | and Princeton, each sheering Cornell, ana cheered back. Then ail the créws neil formed in the street, and proceeded to run - through each other, in this ¢iversion Yale and Harvara were mixed up, forbore to char each other, and finally, py an impulsive movement, mixed their colora and paraded together, cheered from every piazza. When the two Cornell crews arrived from the Jake a dozen pieces of music were piayed in the van ; the twelve rowers, bare headed, walked be- hind Columbia as the guard of honor, Then fol- jowed Yale and Harvard, the boys with int mingled arms across the sheuiders of each other. TERPSICHORE INTRODUCED. So the Jjoility extended far into the evening, when the balls commenced in three botels simul- taneousiy, and Cornell officially received the Freshman flag from Princeton and the University fag from Columbia, Captain Cook, of Yale, said tu the evening that the race was fairly won and lost, He said his crew had never rowed so badly even on practice, and that he rowed worse than any one of the rest, Columbia accounts for its defeat vy a vertigo bappened to one ol the boys. The same was the case with Princeton. Still all admit that Cornell well deserved the colors. A singular scene happened on the grand stand after the regatta was done, while ali the people were still assembled. less, one Schuyler, a railroad oMcial of high con- sequence, committed a series of enormous frauds ch but Cor- in bis connection witn the New York Central Railroad and fled to Europe, where he died impoverished.

Tho great college race at Saratoga has been-the , chief topic of interest and discussion in Boston to-day. Between eleven and twelve o’clock peo- ple interested in the result of the contest gathered at the Parker House, in front of the newspaper offices and other places where there was a chance of gleaning an item of news about the all-absorb- ing topic, and waited with commendable patience for the first click of the telegraphic instrument bearing the news from the scene of the inter- collegiate struggle. Partisans of Rarvard were most numerous at these places, Occasionally there was a man with hoary beard scanning tne bulletins with as much eagerness as the under- graduate, and all were upon the qué vive for the Jatest intelligence. First at the Parker House came the announcement that the surface of the lnke was growing smoother, but was still affected by waves. “THEY'RE OFF |’? came next, and then followed the positions of the leading crews at the half mile, two mile and two and ahalfpoints. ‘Cornell ahead, Harvard sec- ond! was the first exclamation heard, and was repeated until two miles had been covered. The Harvard men were jubilant, and, with a pardon. able look of sarcasm, inquired, “Where’s Yale?” . “] hope abe's fonr miles behind,” aye one. “But that cannot be,” says another. “Cornell first, Dartmouth second,’? was an- nounced at two miles. Immediately it was feared that some accident had befallen tue Harvara crew. At the last half-mile post the positions | were given, with Harvard fourth, this intelligence been received when “CORNELL WINS THE RACE’? was heralded, and closely following was the time, | 16m. 5148. “Where was Harvard?’ was the Immediate in- quiry on every hand. No answer came until | Searcely had | the day had stimulated the losers to ty agai, im order to cover their iosses, and j winners to bet om velvet and in- still insisting they ought to have won, and tl something had happened or they would have done so, Others inveighed against their choice in the most savage language, and voted doat rac- ing @ delusion and a snare, AT THB FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL was the largest congregation of ail, Business men, on ther way up town, congregated here and talked it over. The universal in- terest that was taken im the event was here evicenced, and all felt glad, even those that were beaten, that tne plucky lithe col- lege of Cayuga Lake had beaten all the old boys, It was @ genuine surprise, and was enjoyed, as all surprises are, with st that is altogether joreign to things that are expected, During the evening this feeling was stil! more Prominent, and the various points” of the varl- ous college. crews were discussed, and Cornell got @ cclebrity In one day which provably no amount of success in the learned branches would ever have given Ler. The common regret seemed to be that the talkers had not been there themselves to witness tuis most successful of the college races, and this was allied to the prevailing sent ment that the College Regatta was now become the most prominent of our regular summer enjoy- ments, and that those who were unable to attend this would try to be there next.

Then the committee propose an international regatta, a handsome prize being offered for the ran from Sandy Hook to the lightship of Five-Fathom Bank; a second prize for a regatta here, and lastly another valua- ble prize for a race from here to Philadelphia.

AND ATLANTIC CLUBS—ATLANTIOS BEATEN. * The second game of the championship series be- tween the St. Louls Club and the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, was played on the Union Grounds yes- terday afternoon, Contrary to expectation, the Atlantics flelaed in such excellent style as to prevent their adversaries from scoring more than two raus in the game, although they were them- seives unable to tally more than @ single run. The game was played wiih a dead ball, but was marked by heavy fy hits to the ont field on bogh sides, hese cansed the monotonous continua- tion of whitewashes, In the first inning Pearce made a base hit and tallied on passed balis by Knowdéell and a wild throw by Clinton, In the yhird inning Pike batted safely for his base and scored on a muff by Fleet, of Knowdell’s throw, | and a passed ball. The Atlantics’ run procured in the second inning was earned by a three base hit of Pavor, followed by Nicuols’ one baser, Clin- ton pitched and fielded splendidly, while the base play of Cassidy and the outfelding of McGee de- serve favorable mention. ‘The St, Louis men played fairly, Pike and Waitt, who took Outh- bervs place at lett fleld, Jeading tn the flelaing.

THE PROSPECT PARK CLUB DEVEATS THY STATEN ISLAND—A CLOSE AND EXCITING GAME, 5 THE RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSION. The Press and Inventors Still Exeluded from Its Rocms. WHAT WAS DONE YESTERDAY ‘The \nterest manifested im the work of this Come Mission does not avate in the least, and yestere day @ large number of inventors and others be- Sieged the doors o: the Commissioners’ room, which Were carefully guardea by @ police oficer. Some sent tn plans through a nalf-opened door and then beat a retreat, while otners came with models and drawings, but, finding the door guarded, left, taking their models with them. Mr. Harrison, the acting Secretary of the Commission, supplied the press with no minutes of the session, as it Was merely In‘ormal ; bat from members of the Commission it was ascertained that the day pent 1D arranging the models and plana, in- @exing them and otherwise preparing for active business, Tho propriety of admitting reporters was discussed, a8 also was the suggestion to admit inventors, but no decision was arrived at. It ta understood that Messrs. Mott and Canda are willing that the public shall know everything that traug- pires at the meetings of the Oommisston through the admission of reporters, but Messrs, Delama- ter, Brown and the Qbairman (Mr. Seligman) are disposed to secrecy for the present. Mr, Delama- ter expressed to the reporters his bellef that the admisston of reporters and inventors would de- feat the object of the Commission, as one inventor might profit by the knowledge and labor of an- other, and the Commisston could not werk with reporters about. He, however, sald that he had been about converted to the belief that the press should be represented, aud he thought that such @ decision would be reached, and perhaps they would be admitted to-day. It is sald that the por- son who is most strenuous in his opposition to THE OPENING OF THE DOORS is Mr. Seligman, tne representative of the banke~ ers, and that out of respect to their chairman's opinion the other Commissioners have not pressed the mattertoa vote, After the business of the day had been finished and all the Commis- sioners, with the exception of Messrs. Mott and Delamater had left, the reporters wero permitted to enter the room of the Commission to secure iu- formation. Messre, Mott and Delamater were found bard at work going through hundreds ot folios of legal cap descriptive of this and that scheme, Some of the schemes had more or less merit, while others were of the moat visionary character. The two Commissioners were algo ar- ranging models, examining drawings and num- bering them consecutively as received, Some ot the Commission ciaim that they have not suMl. cient time (ninety days) under the act to do their work weil, and another diilcuity is that no appro- priation was made for clerical force or for station- ery oF an office, They are to receive nO pay wales acompany is formed to operate upon the plan they recommena. The Mayor had permitted them to use his private secretary !n consequence of there being no money to pay aclerk, Yet they do not appear to be discouraged. Both Messrs. Mott and Brown—the only members who are disposed to converse with the press representatives and treat them civilly, explaining the dimenities under which they labor—express strong hopes that they and their asscciates will be able to per- fect some plan that will meet the approval of VHE PUBLIO AND THE CAPITALISTS, The Commission have not yet decided when thoy Will Cail upon those who Lave presented models and plans to appear beiore them. Some want tha doors then thrown open and toe reporters and the public admitted, while others insist that tne inventors saall be admitted one KA one, listened to and then dismissed, ontil recalled to explain more fully, It is the intention of the Commission One of the best games ef cricket played in this vicinity for the past few years took place yester- day at Staten {sland between the Prospect Park and the Staten Island clubs, The Staten Island Club went tirst to the bat, Luske made good hits and scored 10, and Donald by good playing made the same number. Billy Brewster followed and played excellently, making good hits and drives in every direction, scoring in all 22, | members, although they batted carefily, did #yre, who» made 11 runs in two “overs.” Un the Prospect Ronaldson did good batting for 15 runs, and Sprague and Crossley closely followed bim im his score, In the second inning the Staten Islanders Donald, by careiul and e: celient batting, made 15, but the others made jess than | poor scores, the total being but 3, or 113 in the two innings. the Prospect Park Club having made 64 in their firstinning had then 49 to tie greater part of the business, as the French pool tickets were bought up slowly, Mate was a fa- | vorite over the fleld In the mile and three-quarter | “Columbia second, Dartmouth third,” was tele- | graphed, This, however, gave little satisfaction, | and tne admirers of the crimson began to with- | draw and seek other sources of information, On | some of the bulletins Harvara was assigned third position, which gave her friends a measnre of cotnfort, since they felt that her old adversary, | Yale, was vanquished. Later the positions of all the crews were announced through the newspa- per offices, and the poople were satisfied. While the Harvard men would have preferred to see their own crew victorious, their second | choice would ve the winntng crew of the day. | The result of the race was @ surprise, especially tothose who had bet at odds on Yale and Har vard.

Their plan ts (or an elevated rfad, to run in the | centre of the roadway, to be supported on two lines of iron columns one foot in diameter, the | qistance between the columns to ve elght leet, and | the space taken up by the road ten eet broad, | Taey propose to have three tracks, Hach span between the posts or columns is designed to be fifty-two feet, and the posts are so arranged | that mone are placed on tie street corners to ob- | etruct crossings. ‘Tnere will be two tracks on the | elevation, which is entirely of tron, and one on | the suriace. The whole will be supported by a | foundation of Solid stone, seven feet. thick. of | four feet below the street grade and three ieet | above. The piso professes to provide for all vi- brations, and to supply sultable accommoaation | for telegraphs, wires aud necessary pueumana tubes, The cost will be about $400,000 per inte. | ‘The plan of J. W. Evans is elaborate and the drawings submitted to fommission are very finely executed. This scheme is of acom- | tintowy suspension bridge to run through the centre of t (reet, om three arches, and to be constraoted entirely of trom and stee, ‘The spans | ave planned to be 200 feet long, so as to croas th widest street Without any interruptions to tr irom jhe colamas upon which the spans rest. Vost of construction per mile not ascertained, Another pian pre ted yesterday ts calied the Prismold Rauroad system, watch can be con- structed, it 18 claimed, of either iron or wood, at a cost of from $50,00) to $60,000 per mile.
