~BROOKLIN YACHT LER, The Annual Cruise to the Eastward. FROM LLOYD'S HARBOR 10 GREENPORT, The Old Time Zest and Excitement Yet To Be Observed. GrEeNroRT, July 25, 1875, Yaohting in pleasant weather 1 certainly very epjoyableamusement, With clear skies and fayor- ing breezes nothing can surpass it, All hands are Rappy under such circumstances. “Radiant and roseate’”’ are applicable words, and those whose Orsi experiences are thus recorded wonder why It isn’t a less expensive pleasure—“it’s so nice,” ‘There is another shade to this picture, however, When the air falls light and merry brushes give way to drifting. Then yachting becomes monoto- nous, and is voted abore. And sometimes the fun of the sport is not so keenly relished—when @ dirty squall strikes your boat, and “she bas to ran for it,” or when you are caught out in astorm and all the pleasures are of a gymuastic order, Jeading to headaches and knocking the skin off tender shins, Amateur sailors generally give the pastime a pretty wide berth when tnere is a “wet sheet and flowing sea;” for I have repeatedly no- iced thatat dinner they don’t like to hold on to their piates, grope arouna for spoons, and espe- cially do they dislike the necessity of stowing decanters away in the lockers between drinks, aithongn the Brooklyn club have escaped storms and squalls thus far on their journey eastward. They have had a dash Of light winds and smooth sea, with everybody “heads and points,” and the air scarcely suMcient tokeep steerage way on the boats. This very* frequent experience has been the record of the run from Lioyd’s Harber to this place. Tae Com- modore or Mayor Wickham is responsible for the Joss of Friday, as when the fleet was anchored in the shadow of the wooded headlands there, the Wind whistied merrily from the nortuwest, a rasp- ing breeze that would have put every craft at an- cbor inside of Long Beach Point before nine O'clock that night. Ibe day may not have been Wasted. Long Island’s first families gathered tn the Mayor's dwelling, and beauty and gentility smiled gracefully on the representatives of the club that went ashore. Yet, after all, neither the beauty nor the fashion nor the exquisite gentle- nei cess, Mis Honor did all that was required; more, perbaps, than was 1air to ask of him, yet general satisfaction failed to be observed, and if the sensi. ment of the fect could be obtained the vote would be “A PAILURB AND MISTAKE.” The ‘friendly, unceremonious visit” was over by ten o’clock—sooner than was anticipated. Shortly afterward every yachtsman was on board of his respective craft, wishing for daybreak in order to depart for this port. The occasion, fortunately, Was not without its pleasant incidents. Soon alter leaving the shore Commodore Dickerson re- quested the Meet to treat the ladies to a display Of fireworks, and with commendabdie alacrity the Majority of the yachts did so, With the fagship leading off, the harbor was soon in a blaze of light. Roman candies, skyrockets, bomps and many colored lights made ascene of beauty that will | Dot soon be forgotten, Asin tne matter of dress- ing the yachts during the afternoon in holiday at- | tre the saucy little Schemer carried off the hon- ors, 80 did she ip the display of freworks, At times it seemed as if she was on fire from stem to stern, so liberal was her owner, Mr. Hall, in his use of them, while the selection from a large supply could not well be surpassed. By eleven o'clock stillness reigned supreme im the fleet, ‘The White Wing vocalists were the last to tura in, ex- cepting, perbaps, Fleet Captain Bishop, who 18 always on the alert, and a merry party not a cable Jength irom the flagship, who persisted in shout- ing that there was ‘great tribulation” in store for somebody. SALLING UP THE SOUND. In the early evening the word was passed from the fagship that the yachts couid get ander way any time during the night. Jt seemed welcome news to many of the captains, as Lloyd's Harbor had not prepossessed them to that degree that ‘they yearned for a further delay. A dead caim and adverse tide, unfortunately, and much to the annoyance of the majority, kept tiem at their anchorage until near daybreak, when, at four o’clock, 4 gun trom the Madeleine started the fleet in motion. Never aia pleasure cratt obey a@ signal to “Get under way” with greater elacrity. The place bad not fascinated them, and they “hankered’’ after higher skies and more hospitable shores further to the east- ward. It was slow and tedious Jeaving the har- Dor, as there was scarcely any wind, and what there was came in puffs and constantly shifted. The pretty Schemer was first to work outof | Huatington Bay, then came the weatherly Sea Witch, the Clio following, with the Sadie next ; then che smaller craft and tne big Madeleine, in the unusual position of last, Three or four hours ‘went by and there was little else than driiting. ‘The morning was bright and the sup glowed with id On of the ladies made the affair a gemuine suc- | NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 27 Decame a little closer bunehed, and when the yachts hauled on the wina off te ORTENT POINT BUOY, time of a few of the leaders was obtained Cilio (not \aken); Schemer, 7b. 2m.; Vision, in, 7m.; Sea Witch, 7h.

This conclusion was very sensible, as it was adead beat up the harbor against a tide that ran like a mill race, it being fully nt clock ere the Schemer first dropped anchor. One by one they followed, and by eleven o'clock all were safe in the harbor. Uniortunately the flagsiin anchored under the Manhansett House, whcre the Comet bai also found moorings upon arrival, thus presenting the spectacle of a divided feet. AT REST, For some reason or other there appears but lit- tle atm or interest in the eruise thus far. There is @ painful absence of the pleasure experienced last | Year, particularly in tnis village. Then all was Nie and auimauon, Now, the yachtsmen have quietly enjoyed themseives at the spacious Peconic; but there is much wanting to make the ( reunion a success—the old time event which the Brooklyn cruise has had the repulation oi being, But little has been done to-day. Contrary to expectation there was no divine service en the flagsnip. Last year this recoguition of the Sab- bach by the yacitsmen producee 4 very favorable impression ‘among the residents, which might again have been repeated without injury to any one.

THE SARATOGA CUP. INTEREST AND,WAGERING ON THE CONTEST To- DAY—A HEAVY TRACK FROM THE RAINS OF YESTERDAY, Saratoga, July 26, 1875. The defeat of Springbok by Grinstead 1m the Sweepstakes on Saturday last has ovéasioned quite a revoiution in the minds of the racing pub, luc, and they are all abroad in their prognostica- tions. A week ago nine-tenths oi the followers of the stables would have answered the question of “Who's going to win the Saratoga Cup?” by say- ing, “Springbok, sure|’? To-day, when asked the question, the reply is given in French by shrug- ging the shoulders and with a shaking ef heads, ‘They have no opinion. There will probably be ten or more starters, every one of which was sup- posed to nave been a better horse than Grinstead at the distance before his de/eat of Springbok, but now they are in astate of perplexity. The book makers bave revised and corrected their schedules, subject to further revision, and at the preseut moment the odds offered is nearly alike on all the candidates, ‘The racing which takes place to-morrow seems to | be forgotten in the discussions on the Cup race. ‘Tue Alabama Stakes for three-year-old fillies, the purse race for all ages and the free handicap eteeplechase are of no moment. Who will win the Saratoga Cup ? la the great conundrum of tle | ‘The probable starters for this great event will’! be M, A.

Lewis & Co.'s bay | mare Vandallte, by Vandal, dam Vesper Light, 4 years eld. Now iet us see what the above frers bave done this year, so that some estimate may be formed of their capabilities. Grinstead has won two good races—one at mile heats at Jerome Park, where he beat Rhada. manthus and Fadiadeeu, and (he second on Sacur- day last, the sweepstakes at this place, by deieat- ing Springbok, Olttipa and Mate. He was de- feated in the Jockey Club handicap at Jerome Park by Wildidle and Preakness, the later carcy- ng 130 pounds, and again by Axwron Penuington and Reform in the Woodvura Stakes for four-year- olds, the distance tw miles and a haif, But he is Dow a wetter colt thaa ever belore, and 1s ub to | run for # man’s |ile,’’ | Ratherfurd (the stable companion of the above colt) has run twice ths summer, the Orst time in tue Woodbara Stakes, waicu wus won by Aaron Pennington, and the second time Long branch, In the Monmouth whe: he beat Wildidie and Big Fellow three miles.

The Question as to the Right of the Commit- tee to Reorganize a District Committee. MEETING OF THE REORGANWZERS YESTERDAY, Plan by which Morrissey’s, Ledwith’s and Hayes’ Committees Are To Be Bowled Out. THE ANTI-TAMMANY MOVEMENT. Whatever may have been tne private opinion of some leading democrats the day following the promulgation of the report of the Sub-Committee on Discipline of Tammany Mall it would seem that the story that the reorganization demanded wa absolutely necessary in order to secure other dis- tricts from disorganization, through the machina- Mons of the leading mulcontents in tne Third, Eleventh and Fiiteenth districts, is beginning to Place Many men into line in favor of the stand takep by the sub-commilitee who were belore, if NOt opposed to it, at least on the fence, Still, as yet, it will be very hard to tell what the result will be until the General Committee are heard from; and just here it may be mentionea that one ef the principal subjects talked about just at present, in connection with the Tammany war, 1s the powers of the General Comumittee—whether or not the Committee on Organization has the authority of itse’f to reorganize any district committee, Those who contend that it has not point to one of the bylaws of the General | Committee, which provides that “no action shall | be*had to increase or diminish the number of | members of this committee, or to change or affect | it organization in any manner, unless three- Afths of the members ejected to the commirtee shall vote in favor thereo!; and the yeas and nays sball be calied upon every resolution or proceed- ing relating thereto.” Still the majority of the members of Tammany Wall wio have liad thei attention called to the matter say that this role has always been considered as referring to the number of members of which the committee should be composed, and that the words ‘lo change or affect tts orgauization” reiers also to THE MERE QUESTION OF NUMBER. | In fact the onty promiment parties in Tammany | Halt who could be found to believe that the rule reully deprives the Committee on Organization of any power to reorganize a district were those who wil! be shorn of mfuence by the reorgan1 tiou proposed. There is a bylaw of the General Committee which reacs that tiie “Committees on Orgauization shall be charged with the considera- tion of all matters relating to tue orgapization of the democratic party, the call of primary elec- tions and the conducting of primary, general and charter clections;” and adds, “shall, in their dis- cretion, have powers of revision and suostitution | Of all nominations hereafter made by conventions called by the General Committee or any district committee of this organization whenever the honor, preservation and integrity of this organi- zation shall require such action.’ It will thus be { creature of the General Committee, and therefore subject to its orders, its powers are sucb—and “given to it with THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GENERAL COMMITTER as to their Cxieni—that they may exercise it fully in cases of great emergency. At all events these have never yet been questioned by a General Committee. it is only a very short time ago, 1% will be remembered, that tue Committee on Or- ganization reorganized the First district, putting John Fox and Judge ilogan’s friends on the sheif | virtually by calliug a primary and also “conduct- ing” it, to Use the expressive term of the bylaw | above referred to, The General Committee never assumed to question this proceeding, no more | than they did that when recently ip the nomima- | Mon for an election district officer made by the | district committee in the Cordandt district, was | boidly set aside by the Commitiee on Organization | because it was deemed a necessity ‘for the honor, preservation and integrity of the Organization." A committee whose powers are 80 great as that | it can dictate to a district what man it shall nom inate for office is certainly, in tne opinion of tae anti-Morrissey men, HOt Such a powerless -crea- ture” of the General Committee alter all. JOHN KELLY’S VIEWS. A HERALD reporter yesterday had a brief conver- sation with Mr, Jobn Kelly on this question. Afver reading over the bylaws carefully he sal “Rale | 22 does net by any means prolivit the Commitice on Organization from reorganizing a district yen- | eral commitiee, when in their discretion jor the | good of the party 1t 18 found necessary to act de- | | terminedly. Though, of course, the Voinmitvee on Organizauon is acieation oO; the General Com mittee, the rules which give it tne power to reo: ganize a@ district committee are unmistakabie, | For instance, tuere is rule 7of articie 8 whict | provides that the Committee ow Organization shall be charged with the consideration of ail matters | relating to the organization of the uemocratic party, she call and conduct of primary elections. | ‘rhe Committee on Organization the’ other day | adopted the report of the Suc-Committee on vis- cipline with only seven dissenting votes. as _ every Assembly district general committee ap- | points two of itgown members to represent it in | the Commitiee Ou Organizatioa, it is safe to pre- — sume that the thirty-eight members o; toe Com- | mittee on Organization knew very well how their respective district general committees (who | form the rammany Generai Committee) stood as | to tbe question tuey voted upou.’’ Mr. Kelly then added:—“Supposing there snould be an aitempst on the part of some person to get the General | Committee Dot Lo agree with the action taken on Savurday, and conceding, as | do,\that tne General | Committee (irom which the Committee on Orgunt- | | zation proceeds, and the compiexion of whic can | | be chabged by the General Committee whenever 1t sees lit) has the righ> not to agree wita the | Committee on Organization’s conclusions, the attempt to non-concur would be defeated by nive | out of every ten votes.” | The same view of the case is taken by other | leading Tammany men as to the large Vote by | which the General Committee would indorse the | | action of the Committee on Organization, if the | test should be made, and they point to the fact { | that the seven votes in the latter committee | againse the Jommittee on Discipiine’s | resolutions represent only ninety-seven out | of tue 687 members of which the General Com- mittee ig composed, But though there was considerable taik among the demecratic poli- ticlans yesterday over the probable action of the General Committee, it was argued by some thas | by the time (next September) wren ‘the General | Committee meets all tae present talk about waat | it hus the power to do will be sound to amount to | but very little, a& the present alleged disioyal dis- | ticts Will have been reorganized and ail the mal; | contents put out of the committee, Just how itis | proposed to reorganize the Third, Eleventh ana i Fineenth districts Was revealea yesterday alier- | hoon at the meeting of | THK SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF FIVE. Messrs. Boyd, Power, Purroy, Bernard Reilly and Dougiass were appointed by the Committee on Urganization, on Saturday, to settle upon tue plan by Whica the three districts ean be reorgan- ized properly. All the members of the committee were present, William A. Boyd in the ctair. the committee decided soon alter organizing to invite all democrats from the districis who had Suggestions to make as to how @ thorough reor- ganizamon could be: be carried out to be | present and give tnetr views to the com. | mittee, the following ‘entiemen were on hand:—Peter ‘rainor and Willis 8. Payne, | members of the General Committee, from Mor- riseey’s district; KR. J, Morrison, of the Comptrol- ler’s office; Judge Kane, George McGiynn, froua | Judge Ledwith’s @isirict; Mr. Jotun Kelly, of the | kighteenth, and a huge Wuite couar, accompanied | by General Spinola, from the Sixteeutu, the | meeting was an entirely private one, so far as the reporters were concerned. Witle the inemoers of | the committee were deliberating Mr. Kelly sat t the window of the room jooking out on Fours { | tecuth street, taking no partin the discussions, | Indeed, the mesting Drought about no discus<ongs | at ali of any impor@ace, and it Was aPyarens that the meinbers easily found cut, witout use- less palaver, taut they were all pretty "aucu OF ONE ACCORD | an to what plan should ve decided Ypon im order | to have the general committees, Of (ne districts in | question thoroughiy overhauled and “loyal men | appointed in the places Of ‘the disaffected, Mr. Boyd, on cailing the Meeting to order, briefly alluded to the object for which they had been | broaght togermer. Messrs. Purroy, Reilly anc Powers explained (yeir views a8 to witat shoul be done, aud tha, was not only to single out those Who we'e unyer suspicion, but to recommend that the entice commirtee Of each district shoud be droppe How bo carry this out was the next question, and te was nally settled, as the most popular as well a8 the most eMliclent method for a complete and certain reorganization, that the q@omocrats of standing aud infiuence woo are known to be good Tammany men im the district should be jnviled to suggest the names of men well known and faithfui irom whicn the new com- mittees could be inade up IM each district to be reorganiz ¢ was contended that wherever there was on the preseat committees good men, devoted to Tammany Hall and her eflurts to get rid of those who were charged by their PLANS OF DISURGANIZATION with jeopardizing the interests of the party at the seen thatif the Committee on Organizations the | | Presented’ @ markea aiterence, | wit Dut that the great bulk should be new men was certain. Of course tiuis decision most effectually Wipes ous Morrissey and his friends on the pres- it commit im the Eleventh district, Leawitn and bi rs on the commi from the Fif- teeath district and Hayes ana bis triends on the committee from the Third distiict. Tue commit+ fee, alter settling this to their OWn satisiaction, adjourned to meet again en Thursday, when toe Tull pew committees will be deciaed upon. Though a large numoer of gentiemen from the three dis- tricts were alladed to as democrats who tt would be well should be put upon the committees nothing definite was done, more than to dec that Augustus Scenell, Willis 5. Payne and Jonn_ 1, Agnew, of the present committee, would be selected as the reorganizing ma- chine for Morrixsey’s district, Daniel O’Revwiy for the Third and George W. McGlynn for the Fii- twentn, Until Thursday next, theretore, It is more ‘han probable that nothing additional will be learned as to who will be the chosea men for the new committees.

THE GRAIN MOVEMENT. Spelieelouamnea GENERAL DECLINE IN VALUES—THE FORuIGS DEMAND DIMINISHING—HEAVY FALL IN FLOUR. The great feature in the grain market yester- day was the sudden decline in prices, which was Brought about by the receipt of cables from Europe reporting fayorabie weather. 1he market reports, too, from London, as well as from the principal Continental centres of commerce, snowed a considerable (alling of in prices, The markets both here and in Cnicago, which to some extent are governed by the reports from the London market, at once became affected, and tere was a general desire on the part of holders to sell out and realize profits bejore # further de- cline sould occur. In order, ‘however, to make sales a reduction of fully five cents per bushel on wheat and three cents per bushel on corn had to be submitted to, Even at these rates buyers were chary of ente:ing into contracts for large parceis, Jn fact, they contented themseives with purchas: ing tn just sufficient quantities to satisfy their im- | mediate demand, or to fill orders. The business | done yesterday was consequently of a very limited character and no one could be found bold enough | to buy for forward delivery. Sellers largely pre- | ponderated and where a buyer showed up he was j Iterally besteged by those who wished to close | out their operations of last week, ‘The large holders and speculators, however, are STILL HOLDING OUT on the idea that We first report of unfavorable weatuer om the other side will agata send prices “kiting,” and that they will then {be able to realize higner rates. The more prudent and cantious operators are quietly endeavormy to dispose Of their Stock, pre- jerring rather to mae sure of present profits tiey Can—than to ran the possivle risk Of a ic in fact, it cannot be diseuised tuat the New York market y jay Was to some extent demoral- ized, and it becomes a question whether the late | advance obtaimed was warranted by existing cir | culustances, or whether it Was Dot brougn: about by the operations of speculators rather chan by the natural consequences of a Jegitimate demand based on reasonavie and provable calculations of toe Wants that would arise, and would have to be supplied, if coadfions existed as were reported. Jt now begins to Jook 4s though the reports of the damage done to fhe crops in Europe had been greatly exaggerated, afthougn tt cannot be doubted tuat there will be a considerabie falling of in the amount of grain marketed, From tue a@ivices Lhat ere how dally coming tu Band there is every reason to believe that LARGE CKoPs OF WHEAT, which were, On tue first blush, thought to be en+ tively and utterly lost, may be partially saved if the present favorabie weather continues. Then, aguin, tue reports that are being received here from the Western Srates, suca as Iliinois, Min- nesota ant Wisconsin, tend to show that the crops Will be larger aud of dner quaitty than has poeen known for years. The California crop, although reported tO be considerably less than in former years, Will still be large. Theretore, every- | \ tung being taken inio consideration, 1t now appears to be the general opinion that she highest rates have been reacted and that unless some extraordinary complica- tons ensue there will, lor some time, be no rise j on existing prices, but rather adecline. Tuose | who bought on Saturday at the highest races | were yesieraay anysning but hopeil, ana | would gladly have reaitzed on their stocks wad it | been possibie, The market generally presented a diferent aspect to What 1t bore last week, Was more Ol the buswe and excitement which then prevaiied.

Tuere was uoue of the rush to seize on desirable par- ceils, but rather @ desire on every hand to QUIKTLY UNLOAD and let some one else bear the burden. The posst- bility, a8 Indicated by private despatec: wuich hourly came to band from London, of a strong “tendency \oward @ further fall in that market, aiso exercised a dispiriting influence, and when the gong sounded for the Exchange to ciose there was a general sigh O( retiei, aud everybody ieft the buliding in the hope that to-day the advices irom abroad would be more favoraole to their in- Lerest. ‘The most serious decline yesterday was in flour, wit a probability of a further fall, The quota- tions, although nominally irom fifteen to twenty- five cents lower, cau be fully pat down at the latier figure, im fact there was scarcely any busi- ness done of any momeot, Buyers were exeeed- ingly scarce, While there were any quantity of seliers, Who, if they effected sales, haa te suomit to fully @ lowering io price of twenty-five ceats.

He says:-—rne system of grading Will Cheapen tue handing of grain here very much, Just How much 4 snould uot ike to Say, bat it will make @ ‘eat difference, espe- cially in the shipments Ol Small lots.

Upon the introduction of the grading system all this @Xpense to the shippers of smau lots will be avoided, which will certainly result in mavertady lacreasthg the amount of yram received here. While New York received 13,500,000 bushels jes ary to May of Woe current year than was heougnt here during the same time last year, bal- where the system of grading has been a & busin of 600,000 more year, and Philadeipbia 750,000 more nan during the same time iast year, By the ist of September we hope to have everything in work- ing order for tae new system, whei the inspector Visit each cat ioad of yraim upon its arrival here, and, after its inspection, ail idemtity of ue individual lot will be Jo » a8 it Will then be thrown tuto the lighter along with ether lots of the same grade. syatem will be similar ta that already adopted in Chicago and elsewhere.
