THE SQUADRON TO PROCEED TO NEW BEDFORD ‘THIS MORNING—-PRIZES TO BE SA4ILED FOR— A SATISFACTORY CRUISE. Newrort, R. L, August 8, 1975. ‘The New York yacht squadron lay quictly at anchor allday, At the meeting beld last night on board the flagship it was resolved to proceed to New Bedford to- morrow (Monday) morning. No definite arrangements have yet been made as to future movements, though it is generally understood that the squadron will make the usual visit to Martha's Vineyard. very DESIRABLE PRATURE in connection with this cruise is the endeavor on the part of the commanding officers to keep the yachts to- gether. The fact that none of the races will take place until the return of the vessels to this port will doubt- less attract a large representation of the fleet. Valuable cups, presented by Commodore Kingsland, Vice Com- modore Garner, Rear Commodore Kane and others, will be sailed for from this port to Block Island and back. A fine display {s anticipated, as the number of contes- tants will be unusually large. The squadron has been augmented, Captain Langley’ss yacht, the Comet, being among the most recent arrivals. Altogether the cruise has, so far, given great satisfaction, and the prospects are decidedly encouraging. PROPOSED GRAND REGATTA AT MARTHA’S VINE- YARD. Mantua’s Vivevanp, August 8, 1875.

THE SEASON AT NIAGARA. THE WHITE MOUNTAINS. ‘Twix Mocwram House, August 7, 1875. Some few years since a journey to and through the White Mountains was one of great labor and fatigue, and those who succeeded in seeing all the sights were, upon their return to the crowded cities, looked upon as trav- ellers of no mean experience. Of late years, hor A the number of people who frequent the mountains has gradually increased until now the White Mountains are regarded as one of the most nteresting summer resorts in all the North, With the increase of travel have confe all those accommodations and conveniences which make travel comfortable and enjoyable, With one change of cars pleasure seekers can come through from New York and be landed within a stone’s throw of the Twin Moun- tain, Fabyans or the Crawford House, BEXCHER IN THE MOUNTAINS. Since Mr. Beecher arrived last Tuesday this houso has been steadily filling up. Many of the new guests are Plymouth church people, many more sight-seeing indi- viduals who come to stare at the defendant in the re- cent great crim. con. suit. Beecher does not seem to mind them. He saunters around the house as much at home us though he were on the Heights of Brooklyn. He wears a slouched black hat, usually has his pants turned up at the heels, his pockets stuffed full of papers and now and then a letter peeping from under the rim ture yachting, which {s extensively indulged in by the little boys of the house at the fountain busin on the lawn, kvery morning he presides at family prayers in one of the small parlors and gives a talk on some chapter of the Bible After tea he goes into the parlor and watches the dancing and other amusements, of which there is a plenty since he ar- rived. When the music is over he generally goes to the hotel counter, where in a few minutes he is sur- rounded by the men of the house, who laugh heartily at the jokes he indulges in and witty remarks he makes. He is considered something of an authority on the weather, and is generally consulted as to probabilities of rain and clouds on the mountains, It is said he can tell with more precision than many who have been raised on the mountains when the weather will be cloudy, hazy and unfavorable to a good prospect. Last night a gen- deman hapesed to mention in his hearing that he was going to Mount Washington this morning, and Mr. eecher, looking out at the sky, said, “I can give youas good a View as you will get at’ Mount Washington to- morrow for half the money.”” The gentleman asked where the view could be had, and Mr. Beecher told him to go up to his room and stuff his head in a pillowcase. The gentleman thought the advice was bad and did not take it. When he returned this afternoon he said he wished he had, for he is sure he would have seen more in the pillowcase than he did on Mount Washington, Murray, the usher of the great trial, who came up with the party, is bere still ji 18 remarked to be the most polite gentleman in the house, As soon as either a judy or gentleman approaches him he tenders his seat and no amount of refusing will do him—you must accept of his kindness and sit down, if only for a moment, At fam- ily prayers in the morning he has charge and he spares ho pains to make every one comfortable. r.

NIAGARA FALLS. Nucara Faris, August 6, 1875, It may be fortunate or otherwise, but Niagara is no longer very exclusive; even now it is occasionally over- run by an excursion from some place more or less remote, They give it a temporary life and put new blood into its sluggish veins, and when over leave it duller than ever. They are godsends, but are horribly sacrilegious. With the average tripmaker nature is merely something to be looked at, not something whose influence is to be felt, a ere “primrose on the river's brim,’ &c., in fuct and nothing more. We have had two or cramming as much sight-seeing as possible into the shortest space of time, go away under the impression that they have seen Niagara’ They compose a most curious branch of the race, They stare boldly and put on what they suppose to be a knowing look, one as far removed from that of the “greeny” as they can make it, and straightway, simply through keeping their eyes too wide open, are “taken in’? in a manner so undis- guised that they must feel humiliated all the rest of their lives. They are not a kind, however, to get much amusement out of. RXPERIENCE OF A BRIDE AND GROOM ‘The place is calculated to show off few persons to great advantage. A visit under the American Falls was, made, in company with a representative of that class | for which agar this season is noted—newly married couples—which demonstrated that fact, On this occa- | sion the wind was in the wrong quarter, and when stand- ing at the furthest point which I bad formerly reached, it was utterly impossible to look in any direction. 1 howled like a dervish iu speaking to the guide, but my voice was blown back into my throat, and'he only “shook his head and smiled.” I felt as though I were | im the cave of Eolus during a mutiny.

My companions were first class specimens of the newly married. I saw them as they stepped out of the cle- vator and recognized them at once as victims. She was bright, jaunty und dressed to kill, and evidently pre- served a considerable portion uf her personal identity, The little bit she had merged in her worse fraction was just cnough, to all appearance, to give her a slight in- terest in him, 1 will not describe her further than that, with her white, Lessa veil over her face, she looked young and pretty. Her husband was possibly a thought too 5] to be handsome, and his lantern jaws were not the Joveliest adjuncts conceivable of what was otherwise an expressive and good face. He was got up with care, and tried to behave with the serenity and wisdom betitting his years and position, but failed most jamentably, and was terribly conscious of his fail- ure. The example of his bride was wo lofty for him to follow, He handed her out with the most touching sheepishness, and got bis only reward in a look which said, as plainly as tongue could do, “You will forget, stupid, my imploring \nstructions to let us behave like old folks.’ They were shown into the dressing room, and never shall I forget the looks of amazement and holy horror exchanged on their reappearance. They would fain have behaved like sheep on shearing day, which do not recognize each other in the al sence of wool, She had not realized belore that she was bound to a mathematical line—for | @ definition of which see Euclid—nor he that her beauty was of the type which is “when un. adorned adorned the least."

Nationality was to be maintained even in presence of Niagara. I fear they did not bring a very rich harvest to the local harpies, and I also tear that they did not come in the right spirit either to appreciate orenjoy, To many of them the bazaars appeared to present greater attractions than the Falls, in which re- spect they reminded me of a Scotchman Who came here a little while ago, He came armed with letters of intro- duction, among which was one to the proprietor of one of our hotels, Tuunediately on his arrival his eye Was caught by the views of the Falls hanging on the oflice walls, He gazed at and studied them with minute care, and declared himself satistied, ‘o'er mind sending up U baggage,” said he to the clerk, “u've seen a! ’at can be seen, an’ 1 wants to go whoat agin.’?

Lovo Braxcu, August 7, 1875. ‘This is the first Saturday and the ending of the first week of August, and rain or shine, bad as it has been so far, “mine host” from the East End, which is the north end, to the West End, which is the south end of Long Branch, expects this evening an invasion from the city which will fll with cots and cotters, as before the panic, his parlors, billiard room and tenpin alley. Arrange- ments for hops, concerts and readings have been made accordingly, and likewise for un extra consump- tion of bread, beef, lemonade and whiskey. One great merit of mountain air and of Congress water, and particularly of the oxygen of the seashore, is the | splendid appetite which it gives the Incoming guest and the average sojourner, whether transient or for the sea- son, Take this line of three miles of hotels, fucing the hungry Atlantic, and at each of them, three or four times a day, you will find THE MBARTIEST PEEDERS You RVER SAW. And we have found it so at the springs, in the mountains and on the great lakes; but, after all, in the matter of genuine gormandizing, the seaside from Cape Cod to Cape May takes the inedal of te Legion of Honor. To give you an idea of this “time-honored democratic prin- ciple” at Long Branch, we understand that at one of these hotels, since Sunday morning last, in addition to humerous cartloads of flour and potatoes, and tons of beef, mutton, bacon and fish, butter, &c., there were ‘no less than THIRTEEN HUNDRED UAMPERS OF OYSTERS “ghucked”’ and put where they would do the most good. In short, the extra feeding of the 10,000 con- sumers of breadstuffs and provisions now at Long Branch gives considerable employment'to the New Jer- sey Southern Railroad, and a market better than New York to the surrounding furmers for their chickens, eggs, milk, butter and vegetables, to say nothing of their villanous applejack. Never within our observations of any season of many seasons here have we seen so large a proportion at every hotel of WELL PED AND PORTLY MATRONS. In Turkey the beauty of a beautiful woman is in pro- portion to her tonnage, and by the same token her charms are estimated, from the Golden Horn to the Euphrates, and from the Arabian deserts to the Pillars of Hercules. The Sultan of Zanzibar, a zealous devotee to this faith of the Orient, if he were here, and were to take an after-dinner walk through the piazzas of half a dozen of these hotels, would, at every turn, exclaim with pious enthusiasm, ‘Allah! bismillah!’” God be praised! and, after running the gauntlet, he would be apt to re- nounce his kingdom or establish his summer capital at Long Branch. “Aud yet European philosophers of the Darwinian school want to say that the American climate dries up the living human body and tans it, aud that if left without fresh recruits from Europe the American pavple would, in the course of eight or ten generations, reduced to genuine Indians.

If we mistake not we had occasion to refer to the rain- less deserts of Arizona last summer in @ general report of that drought along the Jersey seaboard, We are now drawn to the contrast between that season of drought and fire and this of heavy storms and inundations, In July and August last we had cold winds and clouds from the sea for days together, but no rain, For days and weeks the sun rose and set in clouds and fogs, or with the glow of a disk of red-hot iron, The parched grass and dry stubble of the fields, and the heated underbrush of the woods along this coast, took fire from the sparks and cinders cast out by the railway engines, and thousands of acres of fields and woodlands were laid waste. Even the cranberry swamps, usually dangerous bogs, were so exhausted by the drought that their deposits of @ thousand years’ of peat, over large areas, taking fire, became roasting fur- naces, For months the atmosphere over Jersey was veiled in smoke, and woods and fields and fences, build ings and stores of lumber swept off by the fire added much to the pressure of the “bard times.” In THIS SUMMER'S STORMS AND FLOODS behold the contrast, Within ten days past we have had wrainfull upon these Highlands equal to their entire rainfull of last year, This sandy country, hills and plains, absorbs water like a sponge, and yet for once in the memory of that venerable Jerseyman who loves to tell of the drink he took on the battle feld of Monmouth with George Washington these sand bills and plaing are saturated to the condition of the muddy soil of Mount Vernon in a rainy season, THE BEAUTIFUL ROADS over these hills are washed and broken in many places, and slides from the hills on the river below us have oc- curred in some places, and millions of tons of soil, from Raritan Bay around to Red Bank, have been washed From these causes, in the course of time, these ids will be reduced to the general level of the ; formed, as they are, entirely of shells, sand and.pebbles thrown up by the sea in some former age of our little planet, DOWN THE BEACH TO LONG BRANCH, the carriage way between this place and Seabright, re- cently,built oh the sand, was in many places washed away by the waves of the sea in the heavy equinoctial of Monday last, and in consequence of the unrepaired broken bridge at the Highland station, we presume this carriage way will retain unrepaired’ to the end of the season, and that the charming drives participated in by hundreds of Long Branchers from those naked and burn- ing plains to these woods, and their shady nooks and their commanding lookout points of observation over the sea and the rivers and the land, the surrounding towns and cities, will have to be indefinitely postponed, AT THESE HIGHLAND HOTELS, nevertheless, we have good houses through the week and overflowing ones from Saturday night till Monday morning. We have here all the attractions of the moun- tains, the woods, the springs, inland waters and the sea, and sailing and fishing from the foot of the stairs...

Among other extra conven- | jences they have a litte steamer for excursion and fish- ing parties, and they are happy all the day long, as are | the denizens of Paradise just below them, when they have a good run of clamé; and, with a good run of clams, those people of “Paradise’ Lost in the Swamp,” to give the place its full title, are as happy as the clama themselves at high water, PICNIC PARTIES. i The beautiful woods of these Highlands are cele> brated for grand picnic parties.

To sum up, of all the pretty corners and points of observation on ‘the Atlantic coast, we would commend the honest pleasure seeker to thes ever green Highlands, ON CONEY ISLAND BEACH. The excessively close atmosphere of yesterday urged thousands to Coney Island. The visitors inhaled with pleasure the balmy breezes from the broad Atlantic. A new railroad has been in operation for the past four weeks which brings New Yorkers from Fulton ferry t the beach in one hour and ten minutes. Although Coney Island is not looked upon by any means as a fashionable resort, yet many of the hotel keep up “fashionable” prices, Would it not pay to erect a mammoth hotel at this end of the island, where people of moderate means could obtain wholesome board at low figures? It was understood to be Colonel Jim Fisk’s idea to establish such a hotel when he was cut off so suddenfy from fur- ther speculations. Now, that close approach to rapid transit for Coney Island’ has been reached, the public will demand all necessary improvements, so as to make the locality as pleasant as possible in every particular, The Boulevard commencing at Prospect Park will be | entirely completed by next season. This handsome | drive will ran clear down to the water, ‘The journe; from Brooklyn to the beach will then proveoxaeed. ingly pleasant. Yesterday Prospect Park and the com- pleted portion of the Boulevard were crowded with vehicles of pees description, bearing all styles of men women and children to Coney Island.
