(From the Northern Whig (Belfast), July 8.] The visit of the American Rifle team yesterday Jo Clancevoye was, of course, looked upon as one | of vhe principal features in connection with thetr 2xoursion to the North. Two or turee reasons combined to make the place of visit an appro- priate one. It is the principal place of meeting of ‘the Ulster Rifle Association, one of the two leading clubs in Ireland, and the residence uf the presi- Gent of that assoctation, who, when living in the country, encouraged im every way in nis power ‘this favorite pastime.

When tne challenge to shoot Irish rifle team at Creedmoor was ac- pied, few of us had seen a first class target, never a shot having been fired upon ovr range beyond 600 yards, We knew when we accepted we challenge that we had undertaken a heavy contest, ana if we wished te be successful we must devote ourselves to the work thorougnly and systematically.

Mr. Mayor and gentlemeu, to accept the most cordial thanks of the American rifle team for the a kind Bospiraitiy you have accorded I desire, belore taking my seat, to pro- pose the toast of the evening, and 1t Is with great gratification and pieasure I do it. Tne toast is tof the “Mayor and Citizens of Beliast.” Here the members oj the rifle team and the American gentiemen present rose and cheered enthusiasti- cally in houor oi the toast. THE MAYOR, in responding, said he wesired, om his own part | and on that of tae citizens of Bellast—thougn Beliast had not yet attained the rank of a city— to express to Colonel Giidersieeve their very warm thanks for the very handsome manner tn which the toast had been proposed, and to tue other American frienas for the very enthustastic way in which it had peen received. When he heard Colonel Gildersieeve dilating upon what he had Witnessed be almost sancted he (tne Colonel) thought he was addressing a Dublin audience, for the cool Northerners were not supposed to be #0 demonstrative as their Soutnern jetlow country- men. He assured Colonel Gudersieeve and the members o! the American team that the Irish en- tained no feelings oO! jealousy toward th and Were not at all sorry at tne result of the concest. (Cheers.)

As eacn coach came up it fell into piace readliy, and so systematically was everything done that within a quarter of an hour after the time appointed for meeting all were READY FOR THE START. ‘This punctuality may, perhaps, have prevented some late men irom joining the procession, but there were many other reasons why only twenty of the fifty-four members should have putin an appearance at the rendezvous, The “season” is arawing to aciose, and already many men have exchanged the box seat of the dray for the quar- ter deck of their yachts and the whip for the fishing rod, There was little, however, to mark this change in the Rumbers whu crowded the banks of the Ser- pentine te witness the event. The tollets were not so gorgeous nor the carriages so filled with the fair ones who usually come to greet the popu- lar coaehmen at the more fasbionable aiternoon hour, but the ‘wearers of the blue’? were there with their cavaliers in a phalanx as close as ever, and the road down to Hyde Park course was crowded with loungers. Tnanks to the rain with whick we have been favored all through the early summer the trees still wear almost their vernal tints and the joyousness of the flowers atones for the lack of color in morning costumes, so that even Mr. Disraeli could hot have complained of the “prevatling coldness” when the sun shone brightly yesterday on the burnished appointments of the fourscore horses, the deep rich tints of the coach id the gayer colors of wheels and axle- trees, in the decoration of which such very various tastes are displayed.

The Marquis of Worcester is the first to make his appearance, and he might be readily recognized by the chocolate body and yellow wheels whicn be bas adopted for the colors of his coach, Weill as “the Duke,” even were the tall,lithe figure,so often seen leading the Badminton field, not familiar to all ofus, He drives a team oi bays that don’t createa bazz of admiration among the ladies, but they are of the good, henest coaching stamp for all that, and the Marquis handles them to the delight of all wno know what driving is. Here are some | bright bays coming now which people crane their | necks to have a look at. Their heads are not held up by bearing reins, but they-are carried proudly for all that, and the quick-moving hoofs ring out coach this 1s, with his portly fgure ana genial face, looks the modei of a coachman, and seems a trife more at ease here than in his seat in the Commons, For some of us, however. there 1s a greater actraction among the laces that beam jrom amid the clouds of muslin with which the drive 1s surrounded than in his or his gallant team, LORD MACCLESFIELD ‘ brings up his three browns and a gray and aligns his coach in the first rank, on the rignt of whiten a space is leit jor the president.

HOMEWARD, After luncheon the coaches returned singly, but I fear some were too late for the Chiswick party, Jor at hall-past five there were still two coaches left on the ground, and no sign that they were fol- lowing us as we wound through the pleasant lanes on our homeward drive. HOW THE SCHILLER WAS LOST. D he! & = WHAT THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE HAVE REPORTED CONCERNING THE DISASTER. The report of the British Board of Trade on tne Subject of the loss of the German steamship Schiller has been published, ts purport may have been anticipated from the contents of tne | HERALD special despatches, in which we reported | the incidents of the terrible calamity and its con- | Sequences. THE POINTS OF THE REPORT. ‘The Board of Trade report recapitulates, says the Saturday Review, the facts of the sailing of the Schiller from New York, the sighting of the Britisn coast, the appearance of the fog, and then proceeds to say:. On the 7th of Maya fog set in, which became denser as they approached land. At noon on that | “lay the supposed position of the ship by dead | reckoving Was nearly in the latitude oi tne Bisnop Liguchouse in the Scilly Isies, and 152 miies to the westward Of it. From that time a@ course was steered three degrees to the south of east for Seuly ac the speed of fourteen knots an hour, under both steam and satl and during a dense fog. | This course Was continued untii hall-past nine | y. M., and should have taken the vessel eight miles to the soatn of the Bishop, providea the sappozed position at noon had been correct. At hali-past mine P. M. the course Was altered to south-soutnwe; al was taken in, the speed reduced, and a P. M., the vessel having passed inside tne Bishop | Lighthouse without naving seen the light or heara the 10g bell, Struck upon the Ketarrier Ledge and became # total wreck. THE EXPLANATION OF THIS CATASTROPHE is that the ship had | nicer overrun her distance, She must have been further to tae northward and eastward than the dead reckoning denoted. “Had aust of the lead been taken at eight or even | mime o'clock, beiore the course was altered to | south-southwest, irom the depth and nature of | the bottom, it would have shown them their prox- imity to danger and the error in their reckoning, mr propably have averted this sad disas- er. | WHAT MAY OCCUR IN SUCH CASES, But there are known contingencies of all voy- ages against which @ prudeat captain ought to guard. A ship managed as this one might rua down Plymouth Breakwater ly afog just as well as tne Retarrier Leage. It is, perhaps, sur- prising that she did not Knock down the lignt- house, and the possibility of such an accident savuld induce the Triuity Huuse to supply these stroctures With the most poweriul signalling ap- paratus they ¢an carry. But their engineer that as regards the Bishop Lighthouse ur already been done. He tninks that the roposed tog horn on one of tne islands would be | & trap, because no position could be selected trom whica under ail circumstances the signals could rd far enough to keep ships off all the rocks ands of the group, Tne most poweriul signal ‘et knowa cannot under ali circumstunces be re- on jor more than two miles, aod toe roek ‘Whict 18 most invored asa@site 18 more than two miles distant trom otner rocks, « THE MEANS OF ALARM AND FOR RELIEF. ‘The Saturday Review, after summing up the main points of the report, vays:—Kvidently Ger~ name for using guns six guns were he witoin @ short time, ‘Would suggest tnat something serious nad oc- curred, However, it was ‘very thick,’ and, per- | haps, the pilot was unwilling to beileve in an emergency which he was not prepared to en- counter.

They had sot near the wreck, but saw nothing, and were about to return when the log lifted and they saw a ship on the rocks, ‘They eard cries aud saw people in the rigging. ‘They were joined by anotner boat, and the two boats picked up out of the water as many persons | as they coula carry, and turned back, after up- proaching within @ quarter of a mile of the | wreck.

A Trip Through thé Uncom- pahgre Mouatains. A VALUABLE MINING DISTRICT San Juan City, ANTELOPE PARK, VoL, July ¢, 1875. Jngyas the Monotony of the performances to be seep in the great pavilion of a travelling circus 1s, Varied by the exhibitions of the parasitical de shows, so the sameness of the reguiar march through this Western country is relieved by tne litte side trips which an exploring - party ts fre- quently compelled to take. Many portions or tne mountainous region are very dificult of access for heavily laden packs, and when it is desirable to penetrate to such Jocalities @ maim camp is established, from which point, as & centre, these ofsacots are made, Leaving the wazon and all Of tue cargo that We should not require until oar return, simply taking with us two weeks’ pro- visions and only such bedding and photographic instruments as were absolutely necessary, we left San Juan City on the 23d of June for a trip through @ portion of the Uncompahgre Mountains, cen- tring around the great peak of that name. Fol- lowing an old trail in a northwest direction we passed to the west of Lake Santa Maria, and tray- elied over the hills toward the top of the divide for fifteen miles, when we made the discovery that our trail was bearing too muck to the east and wes, in jact, the wrong one, on which we nad unaccountably gotten, and we first suspected our mistake by meeting several bands of Ute Indians on their way {rom Loa rimos Agency to tne sou:h- ward. The squaws invariably rode ahead with the pack pontes, ail the luggage and the pappooses, while their lords jollowed leisurely, laughing and joking. We camped just to the west of this Indtan tratl, at an elevation of 10,600 fees just below the spow line, where the ridges and points surrounding us were white and cold. ‘The Pleasantest part of the day is that por- tion when work 18 finished, between supper and bed time, when the sun sinks behind the western peaks and twilight creeps rapidiy Ybround; the air grows chill and all hands bring au armioad of wood to contribute to the evening camp fire. in vhe mountains, where tim- ber is plenty, @ great pile of huge pine trees are laid One on top of the other, and around the roar- ing, crackling, genial blaze which they make we all gather to keep warm, and recount the adven- tures of the day or listen to the marvellous tales of wild Western life with which our jolly packers beguie the time, ‘Then sleep begins to overcome us, and one by one we slip away to our welcome couches, At this elevation, where snow hes in patches nearly all the year round, the nights are quite cool, und with difMicalty it is that we can keep comiortable. On awakening in the morning before tne sun is up we find haif an inch of ice. in our water kettles, Thisis the case in the very Warmest season, and there is not one nigat dur- ing the year when sx or eight blankets above one would feel too warm. According to our maps the lake for which we were bound lay immedi- ately west of us, and in order to reach the correct trail which led to 1% we were obliged to traverss @ rougb, rocky canyon for several miles, Thus witb great diMculty we finally found the trail, but before we could enter it we were compelled to cressa large area of marsvy land, formed py the meitiug of the saow along the ridges above. There was nothing to do put to push through, although we were aware that be- fore we could accomplish the crossing some of the mules Would be cercaia to mire. A mule, on ac- count of the small size of its feet, is always likely to flounder in boggy soil, and as we reached the middle of the swamp two of our heaviest joaded animals went dowm knee deep and Jeli over on | their packs. Standing ankle deep i. water we had to anload them and remove botn animals and loads to a secure place beyond. This occupied an hour or 60, and when we were at lepgth prepared to resume our journey we were all tired’out irom our late exertions. As we reacned the very SUMMIT OF THX DIVIDE or watershed which separates the waters of the two oceans, old Uncompahgre stoet unveiled in ail its magnificence to the northwest of us. It appeared very rugged, precipitous and dangerous to ascend, but we gazed long at its timberless summit in @ sort of helpiess fascination, for in a lew days We were to climb its sides, This moun- | tain is the highest in the Uncompahgre group, standing 14,235 feet above the sea, and it is said to b2 the second in height in the whole Rocky Mountain range, Mount Harvard being the loftiest, having an altituae of 14,385 leet. But these giants vary only a few feet, and there are in Colorado and 14,400, Just to the left of Uncompahgre and nearer to us lay an immense cone, with rounded, barren top. whose sides were covered with a brick colored rock, and for want of a better we gave it the name o the Red Peas. From this standpoint we could see our two weeks’ hard work betore us, and we commenced to realize that the labor of the season | had indeed commenced in earnest. Tae old trail took avery precipitous descent, falling in tnree or four miles, 2,700 feet, so that we bad to walk the whole distance to the valley, leading tnose packs which were likely to plunge asiae out of the trail and scrape their loads off between closely growing trees. On our way down we ob- tained @ glimpse through the trees of the beanti- ini lake, 690 or 800 feet vertically below, and a little past noon we emerged on a level valley and camped in what almost appeared a bottomless pit, so low were we beneath the mountains | which surround us; but even at this depth we found we were 9,000 teet above the sea. We were now in the lake mining district, Around us and ali over tae mountain sides mineral lodes stood gaping to the light of day, and, scattered more proiusely over tne en- tire country, deserted prospecting pits told the tale of gold, gold, gold. Quartz mining here ts very remunerative, aud some of the best mines are rich in gold, silver, copper, galena and iron pyrites. Mining on the bili sides, blasting furtaec up in the monatains, digging in the river banks and prospecting here, there and everywhere, the miners toll and labor from morning till night io tent on the acquisition of but one object—gold, For the purpose of avoiding confasion 1a the loca- tion Of Claims upon the discovery of lodes the iol- lowing mining laws were enacted by the Counsel and House of Representatives of Colorado Terri- MINING LAWS, Sxcrion 1.—The lenxth of any lodo claim hereafter lo- 9 may equal, but not exceed 1,60) teet along the ein. «wc. &—The width of lose claims hereafter located in Gilpin, Clear Creek, Boulder ant summit counties, shalt be 75 eet on each side ut the centre of the vemn or erev- jee, and in al other counties 15) foet: provided, that hereafter any county. at any general elesuon, may de- termine upon x greater widvh, not exceeding 30) feet, oF may determine to take less.

Thus we find over the hilisides innumerable sanken shafts marked by stakes, on which are written in lead pencli ail the require- ments of the foregoing laws. In stroliing around Lake St. Cristoval, lost in silent admiration of the encoanting picture, we observed far up on a cliff, more than 1,500 feet abwve the western shore, | several human babtrations percned on a sneif in the rock ana seemingly unapprvachavie, smoke which curled upward from the chimneys showed that they were occupied, and on farther observation We could discover a narrow trail cut aloog the edge of the almost perpendicular slope winding from the vailey op to the cabins. We could account only for ‘the presence of @ach an | the hotels. But the | our a earie-like abode by the existence of mines in the ’ CR neighborhcod; and, sure enough, we found that the Hotchkiss lode is located here, which was recently discovered by Mr. Enos T. Hotchkiss, proving the richest’ mine, both tm quality and quantity of ore; go far developed in this district. Mr. John J, Crooke, of New York, ts interested in it with others, and it is being worked vigorously. Some of the ore assayed $18,000 to the ton, of whieh $10,000 was gold and the remainder silver. Indeed, we were informed by the Recorder of Hinsdale county that one speci- men from this mine assayed us high as $47,000, but this was an exceptionally choice piece, Then there isthe Cora lode, which bas assayed te silver alone nearly $3,000, The Ute, Pride of the West, Dauphin, Scotland, Orpuan Boy ana many others are very promising, and still others, which have lately been discovered, show fine deposits of metal, although they have not been worked suMl- ciently to furnish any estimate of their approxt~ mate value. A few miles ap Godwin Creek, which heads at Mount Uncompahgre and fows into the Gunnison, ar Lake City, are several fine among whieh may be mentioned the Big Casing aod Crawford County lodes, Farther down, on the banks ofthe Fork, about four miles beyoud the “City,” lies the Plantation lode, which 1s rich in gold and silver, A specimen ofore from this mine, on being roasted,extubited a coating of pure gold, Valued approximately at $75,000 per ton.

SARATOGA RACES, PROSPECTS OF THE COMING MEETINGS. The grand hotels of Saratoga, which bave been filled to their utmost capacity during the past week by the immense numbers drawn there by” the college regatta, will reap another rich har- vest durivg the coming two equine race meetings, the first to begin on the 24+h insians and the soc- ond on August 10, Racing is always attractive at the Saratoga course, it being the great battle ground upon which the best horses of the country meet ta settle all doubts as to superiority. Who wins at Saratoga may win anywhere. For mostof the important races, especially at the first meeting, horses meet at weight for age, and win or lose upon their merits, Hence the racing 18 first class, and the victors wear unfading laurels, The Saratoga race course is tulertor to none in any country, and the management has been suck as to secure not only the most exciting sport, but the best possible order and perfect protection ta the public, Heace the liberal patronage extended to racing at that place, With the ladies, espec- lally, this course has always maintained an envi- able popularity, and 1t 1s worthy of mention, that, in delerence to them, Mr. Morrissey, the lessee of the course, bas farnisned the seats in the grand stand with very neat backs and new damask cushions—an improvement which will be hignly appreciated, The racing ‘of the first day (the 24th instant) will be decidedly interesting and must secure ¢ numerous attendance. Tue great Travers’ stakes, for three-year-olds, $100 entrance, $50 forieit, with $1,000 added by the Association, ana plate of the value of $500 by W.R. Travers, and for which there are sixty-five nominations, 1s the first race on the programme; so that the battle will begin in earnest, without any preliminary skirmishing with light mettle, An unusually large number of colts will start for this race, beyond a doubt. It is said that Mr. McGrath, of Kentucky, has de- clared to win with his colt Chesapeake, the best of bis lot last year, but thus far unsuccessful this season. It is provable, however, that be will also start one or both of his otner two colts, Calvin and Aristides, winners of heaps of money at the late meetings at Jerome Park and Long Branch, Messrs. Dorwell & Cammack’s Virginia stable will have two from which to make bopelul selec~ tion—King Bolt, brotuer to Kingfisner, and New York, a slashing son of Planet, Mr. Belmont will doubtless start Metador, son of the famous Gladiae teur and out of imported Nonpareil, by Kingston, He 1s a ast colt, and appears to nave re ceived ‘the grand preparation.” The fine colt St. Martin, son of imported Phaeton, out of the dam of King Lear, and D’Artagnan, brother to London will, ivis presumed, represent Mr. Grin- stead’s Kentucky staole. St. Martin, though a “dark one,’ has confident admirers and has been hacked lor sums worth wioning. Mr, Grinstead’s colts are in the bans of the elder Pryor, who also has Mr. O’Donnell’s colt Milner, a fine son of Leamington, deserving consideration as a proba- bie starter. Mr. Harney’s Missourt stable will un- questionably show Ozark, the game son of Pat Malloy, out of imported Sunny South by Irish Bird. catcuer. He is credited with the only importans Victories this season over the lucky McGrathiana stable, having beaten Aristides and Chesapeake both in ene week ut Long Branch. Ozark 1s, of course, held in high estimation, Whetoer the en- try of Messrs. Rodes & Carr, the colt Searcher, will start, 1¥ not among the settled questions, He is colt of great speed, but | /kes a short race. He 1s now the property of P. Lorillard, who pum chased bim last week at Long Branch for $2,500, and whether Mr, Lortilard will start him remains tobe seen, We are under the impression that Searcher will be reserved Jor other races and that Mr. Locilard will rely apon the colts James A. and Siugara, both higu bred, but whose perfor. mances this )car have not been sach as to inspire couflsence of success. One or boto may be ex pected to ster, however. Mr. Coamoerlin’s Tom Ochutree @nd Lord Zetland are among the en tries, and the former may probably run.- Mr. Cla baugh’s Viator (a son of Vauxhall) is at Saratoga on business, and, having shown such qualities as secured the admiration of is owner, will doubt less start for this prize. Messrs. Robinson, Mor- gan & Co.’s Boo Woolies, @ fast and successiul son of Leamington, ought to start, and the McDaniel contederacy willin ail probability rely on Willie Burke, as bis form has much improved since tne Jerome Park Meeting. Spirited betting on the result of the Travers’ Stakes continues, especially with the bookmakers, both in Saratoga and is this city. ‘The secona race of the day will be 9 sweepstakes for all ages, one mile and @ quarter, and shatis will be a spirited event, equal to any other of the meeting, will be readily comprehended when if 1s Temembere’ that it will bring togetner suc® flyers us Springbok, Olitupa, Madge, Colvin, Bab lenkeel, Vandalite, Grinstead, Mate, Firework, Countess, Springiet, Retorm, Vuabiia, Survivor, £a What alot!

Tae toird wil be a selling race for purse of $600, one mile and three-quarters, the entries ta be made tne afternoon of the day velore the race.
