New Beprorp, Mass., August 9, 1875. The ran from Newport to-day was unexciting, the weather being unpropitions nearly all the way. In ac- cordance with the programme previously agreed upon, the Commodore of the fleet fred the first signal gun at nine o'clock, and the usual busy scenes of preparation followed, There was a fine representation of the squad- ron in the harbor, and altogether the prospects were decidedly encouraging, for, about the time that the second signal was heard, a fine southerly breeze sprang up, and & smart race to New Bedford was anticipated, As usnal, the sloops were the first to get under way, the Vindex and Active assuming the lead, Of the schooners the Restless was the first to pass Fort Adams, the others coming up in close order, including the Rambler, Dreadnaught, Idler, Eva, Vesta and Clio. P' The Wanderer, Meta, Columbia and Comet started with the fleet, but on leaving the channel went westward, The last-mentioned vessel proceeded to Greenport, but will join the squadron on its return to Newport. ‘The vessels worked slowly out of the harbor, the Mohawk and Alarm being the last to pass the fort. Searcely, however, had the vessels proceeded half way up the channel when a dense fog set in, which at once completely obscured the entire fleet, Then followed the usual scenes incident to such events; fog horns were heard on every hand, it was impossible to see a ship's length ahead, and as the wind was dying out and matters began to ‘assume a some- what ‘serifis aspect several of the yachts went about and headed for the harbor. The Mohawk and Rambler returned in company, the Alarm remaining outside, Indeed, it seemed to be the general impression that the run would have to be abandoned. roceed, Meanwhile vessels had gone ahead, and by the time they got in the vieinity of Brenton’s Reef lightship the se mist had vanished. The course was accordingly shaped for New Redford, the wind being almpst abeam from the southward, The flagship followed in the wake of the squadron, but it was fully one o'clock when the Mohawk and Rambler weighed anchor, the latter being the first to get off Those vessels worked up the channel in close proximity, the fleet at this time being out of sight. After rounding Bateman Point they headed for New Bedford, The Mohawk, which was in splendid trim, overhauled the Rambler shortly before four o'clock, near the Hen and Chickens lightship, with every prospect of passing the Alarm, which sailed well, considering the weather that prevailed. At five o'clock the wind had D adit well died out, a fact that robbed jhe run of all its interest. The Rambler remained ih company with the Mohawk all the day and both anchored almost simultaneously, Alto- gether the run was destitute of interest, the surround: ing eloments contributing little to the pleasure of the day. Tho leading vossels sailed right ahead, the fog hanging heavily until they came abreast of Ponikese Island, The fine iron sloop Vindex still had a foremost psition and anchored before four o'clock, and following in rapid succession were the Restless, Clio, Addie V., Idler, Eva and Vesta, The flagship, which had remained behind awaiting the disappearance of the fog, came im about an hour later, All throngh the run but little chanee was afforded any of the yachts to show their capacities to advantage, Vice Commodore Garner's new yacht, the Mohawk, gave ad- ditional evidence of her abilities at the start, but there was really no opportanity presented for a good test of any of the vessels, A meeting of captains was held on board the flagship this evening, and it was agreed to go to Martha's Vine- yard in the morning. The fleet will remain at anchor for a day and return to Newport, when the races will take place.

They had intended to have made a fort- night’s cruiso, but unforeseen circumstances prevented this decision from being carried out. The following are the particulars of the eruise:— , On Saturday last, July 31, they left home, and, with a fatr breeze, made for Glen Cove, standing out in the following order:—Triton (Commodore Thayer's yacht), Agnes, Peerless, Undine, Orion, Kaiser Wilhelm, the rest coming along together. After a fair run they reached Glen Cove that evening, where they remained until Monday morning. Divine service was held Sun- dry on board the Triton, On Monday morning they unwisely started out, the weather looking very threatening, and were obliged to put back on account of a heavy squall from the east- ward, The following morning they started for Shetland Island, near Norwalk, arriving there the same evening. Wednesday morning the fleet left the Land ran to London, anchoring off the Peqnot at four o’elock the same afternoon, the Peerless heading the fleet. On Thursday morning they started for Greenport, having a good breeze, and renched there about five o’elock that afte The Peerless again was the first to drop anchor, They left Greenport Friday morning at eight o'clock, They had seai any wind until they reached.

August 9, 1875. ‘The first meeting of the scason of the Narragansott Gun Club to-day brought together a large and fashion- able assembly at Bryer's Grounds, in Middletown, A moro unfavorable day could not easily be imagined, the sun pouring down upon the cages and rendering the pigeons almost useless for flying purposes; and King Sol’s smiles had the effect of driving the knights of the double barrel almost mad. The principal feature of to-day’s meeting was the con- test for the handicap cup, which was entered for by four- teen members. Everything was pretty quiet along the line up to the going for the sixth bird, when the shot of the day was made by Mr, Van Buren; who brought down his pigeon without a struggle with one shot, and was loudly upplauded. In the firing at the sixth bird, also, KE. W. Davis, of Providence, brought down his bird in good style with the first discharge. Secretary Porter says that Davis is a man whose antecedents as a shot have not been known up to to-day. He has lately joined the club, and in his first contest carried off the prize. Davis, at the eighth shot, was considered by the knowing ones a8 the best man, Dut notwithstanding the fact that he had ony missed one bird several were anxious to bet at the ninth shot the cup would not be his. His coolness never failed him, however, and the fact that his brother-in-law, Bloodgood, gave him a tight running at the finish, made no dt ce, for Davis was too much for the whole of them, The two Van Burens were considered likely men at the start, but lost favor about the middle of the contest, J, ‘kscher, whose chance was not considered much, and who had his Prospect for the prize ht for $5, 7 himself a fair shot, bringing ov of ten birds. the crack shot in pigeon matches, stated ‘on the ground that he was more pleased with this ama- tour shooting than at any other match he had ever at- J... Heckscher bought the winner ina pool of $125 for $10. The birds were supplied by Bryer, whose traps re- quired considerable attention, especklly when the eighth round was being shot, several gentlemen having to retire while the connecting wire was being adjusted. The makers of the guns were as various as they wore noted, Davis using a Wesley, as did also his brother- in-law, Bloodgood, M. Van Buren using a Remington; T. Van Buren, J.

Blanchard’s farcical extravaganza, “Bunch of Berries,” was last night presented to an American audience for the first time, and was well received. If any part of the audience expected to be treated to something very novel they must have been disappointed, The new extravat ganza is as like the “Belles of the Kitchen” asa little pea is like a big one in all matters essential, It 1s true the performers in the “Bunch of Berries” arc dressed n much richer and more fashionable clothes than when they caricature the snobbery of kitchen life, but the de. viees by which they try to amuse the public have a strong family likeness to those with which the Vokes have already made the public familiar, We snp- pose “Bunch of Berries” was written in order to allow this merry group of artists to disport in-rich costumes, and ne doubt there are those wh tainmen! ee th dressed, extravaganza is Hall, the re: of Sir Gilbert: Gooseberr, of the worthy baronet his nieces and a certain Lord Strawberry undertake to get up an amatonr pantomime for Twelfth Night, and the = inei- dents of the new entertainment are borrowed from the resulting misehances, The troubles of the amateurs are presented with great liveliness, and song «i dance are jndicionsly seattered through t demon baliet expecially excited a good de lanuse, whieh was well deserved, There was a crowded house, and the audience was evidently well p It is only paying the Vokes fam merited compliment to say that thelr power to amuse depends more upon | themselves than the picee they choose to appear in.
