NEW YORK ; DAY, OCTOBER 10, 1875-QUADRUPLE SHEET. STANLEY. The London Daily Telegraph on the Great Explorer’s Letters. AN EXTRAORDINARY MARCH. Enormous Difficulties Surmounted and Fierce Resistance Overcome, The Lady Alice Launched on the Victoria N’yanza, STRANGE DISCOVERLES AND INCIDENTS Preparing for a Fresh Departure— How the Letters Came. {From the Daily Telegraph, Sept. 27, 1875.] | toward Uganda, while there on the Ist of March last—as he writes— well equipped for two years more of good work, with men whom he could perfectly trust, and one of the most dangerous por- tions of his toil accomplished. We feel con- fident that when the stgry of this march to the N’yanza is read he will take a place in public estimation worthy of the friend and helper of Livingstone ; as one of the most skilful, daring and successful of all modern travellers. THE GREAT INLAND SEA. His first letter describes the journey from the Unyanyembe road to the N’yanza ; his second comprises a description of this splen- did inland sea, written after a voyage of upward of 1,000 miles made round its shores and upon its surface. Geographers every- where will naturally burn with anxiety to know what is the truth about that lake or lakes, the character of which was ever one fof the main problems of African research, Speke, the discoverer, with Grant, of the Victoria, always held the water to be one and undivided. He saw an immense extent of it from Mnanza, and canght once and again distant prospects of its western glitter as he journeyed at the Ripon We have received two copious and deeply | Falls he once more beheld what he took interesting despatches from Mr. H. M. Stan- to be the same great lake from the north- ley, the leader of the Daily Telegraph and | ward. Livingstone, on the other hand, from New Yore Herawp Expedition, dated re- | hearsay, judged the Victoria to consist of at spectively March 1 and May 15 of the present year. By the beginning of March our gal- lant Commissioner had reached the shores of the Victoria Lake, having accomplished the remarkable march of 720 miles in 103 days. He had passed through a totally new coun- try, much of it forest jungle, where great suf- ferings were endured from hunger, and had been engaged for several days in conflict with a fierce and treacherous people, called the Watura, in which he lost twenty-one of his followers. We grieve to add that two of the Europeans accompanying him, Edward Pocock and Frederick Barker,: had suc eumbed to fever. Mr. Stanley speaks of them in terms of unbounded praise and re- gret. With his diminished force our un- daunted Commissioner had made a complete survey of the great lake, fhe profoundly in- teresting facts of which, with the description of the new country to the southward, will be given to the public as soon as they have arrived for simultaneous publication at New York, THE PREMATURE SYNOPSIS, [From the Daily Telegraph, Sept. 28, 1875.] After along and unbroken silence—char- acteristic of the vast and unbroken solitudes through which Mr. Stanley and his followers have been m@ging their way—despatches have again reached us from this resolute and successful explorer, and we were yesterday enabled to indicate the heads of the ex- tremely interesting tidings which have ar- rived. There cannot be a doubt but that the public generally, together with the scientific world and all enlightened persons who feel concern for the regerieration of Africa, will share our satisfaction—and that of the journal allied with us—at the good news which has thus come to hand. Good news, indeed, it is to know that one of the most adventurous and perilous jour- neys undertaken upon the surface of the dark Continent has reached its first stage of triumph in the safe transit through a totally unknown line of country and the careful survey of the shores of that magnificent lake upon the waters of which Mr. Stanley has, after all, been the first to launch an English- built vessel. It is too true that we must qualify these epithets ‘‘good” and ‘‘safe” so far as to acknowledge’that, with all his cour- age, skill, caution and forethought—qualities now no longer denied in any quarter to this gallant gentleman—our Commissioner has paid dear for the splendid results which he has achieved. DEATH OF POCOCE AND BARKER, We mentioned yesterday that two of the Europeans accompanying him had suc- cumbed to the deadly breath of the jungle ; and a tribute of honor and respect is due, in the first place, to those young Englishmen, Pocock and Barker, who have added their names to the list of the many unpretending martyrs who have perished for the sake of Africa. Moreover, in the swift and resolute march which Mr. Stanley has made, since quitting Mpapwa, on the Unyanyembe road, last December, his force of soldiers and por- | ters will be found to have diminished terri- bly. 4 THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED. We shall so far anticipate the absorbing particulars of that march as to state that by desertion, dysentery, fever and fierce fight- ing, as many as 181 ‘of his followers were “found missing from the muster roll read by the shores of Lake Victoria at the beginning ‘of March, ‘here stood around the brave leader only 166 men when he camped at Kagehyi, in Uchambi; but these were well seasoned by the swift progre#s which Stuh- | ley had made, and his letters, public and private, breathe the spirit of unswerving resolution and of a just satisfaction at what | A had been achieved. He reports himself | ly provided with mex, guns and sup- | Plies of all kinds, even at the close of this | remarkable march, for that it is most re- markable will be allowed by all who know the conditions of African trayel, ‘ A WONDERFUL MARCH. * From Bagamoyo to the Victoria Lake is a | distance of nearly 750 miles, following Stan- ley’s route, and this was accomplished in_ { 103 days. The last expedition which prgs+’ posts as the ceeded to Unyanyembe took seyett months to cover that 525 miles of wefl known road, while the larger portgoh of Stanley's lay i through a perfectly ‘unknown district, the | extracrafiary hardships of which will be pudéerstood when we are at liberty to lay the "full details of this hardy enterprise before the pubtic, THE LADY ALICE LAUNCHED. Through matted jungles and waterless plains, through mountain ranges and swamps, over rivers and wildernesses, and with or without the leave of fierce tribes new to the sight of the white man and his wonderful goods, our Commissioner, during those first months of this year, led his men unceas- ingly, carrying with him all the way his little vessel, the Lady Alice, which was at last tri- umphantly put together and launched on the broad bosom of the Victoria N’yanza, EQUIPPED FOR TWO YEARS’ MORE WORK. Spite of all losses and difliculties he stood | depavture intg regions whereay least five small bodies of water; and this idea, that it was made up of separate Iakelets, and could not be compared with the other inland seas of Central Africa for size or depth, has of late gained much ground, especially as smaller sheets have been re- cently found near it 'to the north, STUDDED WITH RICH ISLANDS. We must not anticipate the revelations of Mr. Stanley’s second letter; but we can venture to assure geographers that they have deeply interesting matters in store for them in the account of the Lady Alice sailing upon these virgin waves, the slow unfolding of the unvisited shores, and the discovery of fair and rich islands of great size set in the bosom of this queenly lake. It will be found, too, we think, by the care- ful and repeated observations which Mr. Stanley trained himself to make before his departure, that many ideas derived from measurements too blindly accepted may have ‘to suffer doubt. Stanley makes the Victoria Nyanza much higher above the sea level than Speke, just as Cameron corrected Burton and Speke about the altitude of Tanganyika. It is, at least, evident from these differences . that no theory can be securely foundtd upon isolated observations until verified, and this has much significance for other regions of the map besides those of the N’yanza. A MAP OF THE VOYAGE. | Along with the very important letter de- scribing the passage of the Lady Alice round and across the Victorian waters we have also received a sketch map of her voyage, which included in its ‘periplus” a visit to King Mtesa’s capital in Uganda, close to the Vic- toria Nile. HE MEETS COLONEL LINANT DE BELLEFONDS. And here it appears our very successful Commissioner met and spent some time with Colonel Linant de Bellefondg, of Gordon’s staff, but the communication describing this happy encounter and portraying the north- ern shore of the lake has need along with the others. It is probable that the manuscript was committed to Colonel Gor- don’s officer, and is now on its way to us by the Upper Nile and Soudan, and it will, no doubt, arrive. to complete one of the most profoundly interesting chap- ters of African discovery. Meanwhile the revelation made by the narrative in the two letters is sufficiently plain to remove all doubts as to the character of the Vic- toria Lake, and the public and the geog- raphers will see how generously King Mtesa supplied our explorer with men and boats, and how he returned to Usukuma and his camp at Uchambi just in time to avert one of those disastrous panics which the absent commander has always to dread in African travel. MARVELLOUS INCIDENTS. There are, we may safely promise, all the ingredients of adventure in this double narrative—arduous marching, fierce con- | flicts; perils by land and water, novel scenery, marvellous reports of regions peo- pled by dwarfs and ot suppers made on lion’s meat, stories of a breed of dogs as big as donkeys—in fact, food for every taste, with that one high charm of travel which | fascinates universally—the picture of a hidden world seen for the first time by him who delineates the vunvisited realms of nature. 4 a HOW THE LETTERS CAME. Strange, too, in itself must be considered the manner in which this marked addition to human knowledge comes to our hands. The letter whose contents will for the first time unfold to science the trué character of the ' ificent and mysterious lake was charge of one Sangoro, an nd down to Unyanyembe ma oo ere from the Nilotic waters, Sad thug sheie crets of geography have run a double giitin! let of dangers, coming back, through all t wildness and forest pata of thos eight hundred miles, ‘#rapped in the cloth of | a savage. Such fe the contingencies of , African traves; where the hidden myste- | ries of ¢h¢ dark Continent must be | won, % the price of constant risks, and théh donbtfully intrusted to such wild | passing caravan affords. Something more than ordinary emotion at- | taches to communications thus almost provi- dentially received from the sombre depths of | these African jungles. They are bought for science at the cost of the lives of brave and devoted men ; they come to us through hair- | breadth escapes and untold anxieties ; they are written by a hand burned by fiery suns and composed by a brain full of all the con- stant cares of an expedition which demands the gifts of a soldier in unison with almost every other quality which makes @ man. Yet they are worth this heavy price of lifo and this strenuous labor, for they open the unread pages of the earth and let the light into its hidden places. Moreover, having so far accomplished a great task, oar Commis: sioner writes as one regarding it only as the beginning of his work. PREPARING FOR A FRESTP DEPAWURE. He was busily preparing for a fresh every, step must bring him nearer to momentous discoveries ; and though he is left alone now with only one white companion we feel a proud certainty that he will justify our con- fidence and reflect honor on those who sent him forth if Heaven preserves an existence which has become so valuable to humanity. The merit of this gallant young American will, however, be best appreciated when his letters are produced im full ; and they will be given as soon as we have communicated them to our allies in the ‘(New African Ex- pedition.” COACHING, HANDSOME EQUIPAGES AND HOW THEY LOOKED. ‘The Four-in-Hand Club bad made arrangements to proceed ‘in a body to Jerome Park to witness the races yesterday. It was expected that eight or ten coaches would be included in the procession, which was to start from Madison square at a quarter to twelve o'clock A.M. At that hour, however, but three turnouts were on the ground. Mr. Bronson drove a coach built by Peters. Tho horses were bred in this country and are superb animals, Mr. Jerome drove a coach built by Wood, in the American style, which was drawn by well-matched and well-handled animals, These vehicles formed in line in Twenty-seventh street, near Fifth avenue. ‘Ata signal from th ler’ the carriages were swept up Twenty-seventh street into Fifth avenue. Then the teams dashed off in the direction of Harlem, A lar; crowd had collected to see the start, and, whil all wore delighted with the sight, a few ex- pressed some disappointment at’ the small number of turnouts, It had been oxpected the coach of the Knickerbocker Club would be in the ne, driven by Mr. Newbold, and before the time for the start arrived it was whispered among the assembled multitude that a picturesque old Dorking mail coach would be driven by Mr. Joy. For some reason neither of these vehicles ared, and, after watching out of sight the three which had not disappointed them, the crowd slowly dispersed. AQUATICS, ‘THE TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REGATTA OF THE ATALANTA BOAT CLUB, The members of the Atalanta Boat Club held their twenty-cighth annual regatta yesterday on the Harlem, and the affair was quite a success. Tho weather was mild and the surface of the water was undisturbed. ‘Tho steamer William Fletcher was chartered for the oc- casion and brought a large party of guests trom the city. A large barge was anchored in the stream, just below the powder schooner, and by two P. M. it was crowded with people, The Regatta Committeo was composed of Messra, W. C. Mainland, J, 'T. Fryer, F. H, Clark, J. E. Eustis and B. F, Kobbe. Messrs. George H. Bend, M. V. B, Smith and Charles A. Poverelly ofli- ciated as judges. A large steam launch was kindly placed at the disposition of Mr. A. 8, Swan, tho referee and starter, and accompanied the boats over the course. Alt races were rowed with a turn and started from a point off George Roarh’s boat house. The stakeboat in the three-mile race was anchored below Macomb’s Dam Bridge, and the stakeboats for the two-mile races about a hundred yards on the Harlem side of the bridge. As there Was a pretty extensive programme to go Abrough, the Regatta Cominittee hurried up the con- testants in the first race, und shortly before throe P. M the men paddled out in the river, Sentor single sculls, champion belt; three miles, with a turn. SUMMARY, Pair-oar gigs. ‘Two miles with turn. W. H. Downs, stroke, MS.

Two matches were shot yesterday at Creedmoor. Tho first was for tho “Crouch Bull’s-Bye Badge” at long range. Tho second was for the “Bruce Gold Badge” at short range, 200 yarda Mr, A. V. Canfield, Jr., ot the Twenty-second regiment, won tho first badge, scoring 19 oat of the possible 45 bull’s-eyes, Last month he won the same badge with 23 bull’s-eyes. In tho two first competitions Mr. Leonard Geigor, of Hud- son, N. ¥., won the badge with 18 bull’s-eyes each time, Mr. W. S. Elmendorf won the short range badge, It was won first by W. B. Farwell, 43 points; second by 'T. W. Linton, 44; third, W. Robertson, 44. The weath- er was favorable, but a stiff breeze blew from the northeast.

A Grand and Fashionable Attendance. FOUR CAPITAL CONTESTS. Arcturus, Tom Ochiltree, Virginins, Mate and Athlete the Winners, ‘The attendance at Jerome Park yesterday afternoon was great and grand, The club house, the grand stand, the lawns, the hills, on all sides of the amphitheatre in which the track is situated, were well filled with fash- jonably dressed and well pleased people. ‘The sport was good and much enjoyed by the spectators, The turnouts wero yory fine, and, in fact, the day will bo long remembered by all who were at the races yester- day. ‘The track was still heavy, notwithstanding the con- stant harrowing that it received until the moment of calling the horses for the races, and all the owners of starters were out of humor in consequence, The track, however, was not an unsafe one; but it was heavy and holding, and, ag a matter of course, fast time could not possibly be made. Five races were on the card, four of which were run, the other being a walk over. The first was a selling race of a mile and an eighth; the second the Annual Sweepstakes, two miles and an eighth; the third the Champagne Stakes, for two-year-olds, three- quarters of a mile; the fourth a walk over by Mate, and the fifth a race by maiden three-year-olds, a dash of one mile, The first event was 4 selling race, with the usual allowances, which had five starters. These were G. L, Lorillard’s bay colt Leander, 8 years old, to be sold for $1,000, 95 Ibs. ; Thomas W. Doswell’s bay colt;Arcturus, 8 years old, $760, 92 Ibs. ; August Belmont’s chestnut filly Caroline, 8 years old, $500, 85.1bs,; D. McDaniel’s bay filly Josie B., 4 years old, $750, 102 Ibs; and the same gentleman’s bay filly Mattie, W., 4 years old $500, 93 lbs, MeDaniel’s two were the favorites, Lean’ der the Second choice, Caroline third, and Arcturus, who proved the winner, was selling in some of the pools at the rate of about $40 against $1,000. This colt is a very fine, large one, well proportioned, and has a capital way of going. He made his first appearance at Balti, more last May in a sweepstakes for threo-year-olds, a dash of a milo, and was beaten by all in tho race, He appeared the second time on Tuesday last ina dash of a mile. He got off badly, being the very last of ten, and fur behind at that; but he ran very well and came home seventh. Arcturus was completely over- looked on this occasion in the desire to get on McDan- iel’s team, Leander and Caroline, and few of the largo speculators had a dollar on the colt, He will not be neglected when he starts again. The Annual Swoepstakes, for three-year-olds, was the second race, a dash of two miles and an eighth. Out of the eighteen original nominations only three came to the post, These were H. P. McGrath's bay colt Chesa- peake, by Lexington, dam Roxana; W. H. Chamberlin’s bay colt Tom Ochiltree, by Lexington, dam Katona, and W. Cottrill’s chestuat filly Ascension, by Australian, dam Lily Ward. Chesapeake was the favorite over the field at more than two to one. Ascension was the sec- ond choice, Tom Ochiltreo bringing about half as much ag the filly, The reason for the heavy odds on Chesa- peake was that the Gilly had been sick with the pre- vailing influenza and had not fully recovered, while Tom Ochiltree had not shown anything like being a race horse since his return from Baltimore in the spring. He, however, came to the post yesterday in good condition, and, being ridden well by Evans, won the stakes with apparent case. This was Tom’s seventh race, he having scored throo winnings—the first on the first day of the spring meeting of the Mary- jand Jockey Club, when he beat Audubon and seven others in a dash of three-quarters of a mile, which was on the 26th of May. On the 28th, two days afterward, he won the Py Stakes, a dash of a mile and a half, beating Viator, Bay Final, Risk, Elmwood, Con- signee, Australina, Ad and Vagabond. Tom Ochiltree then came on to Jerome Park, and on June 12 ran for the Belmont Stakes, in which race he was beaten by Calvin, Aristides, Milner, Ozark, Rhadamanthus and Chesapeake. His next appearance was at Long Branch in the Jersey Derby Stakes, and he was beaten by Cal vin, Chesapeake, General Harney and Viator, Tom being in front at the finish of James A, Bob Woolley, Bayminster and Warwick, the latter having been knocked down and Bayminster cut down py General Harney and afterward had to be destroyed from the injuries he received. Harney was placed Iast in the race, Tom Ochiltree next ran at the same place for the Ocean Hotel Stakes, one mile and three-quarters, when he was beaten by Ozark, Aristides and Leader. He then was placed in the hands of Anthony Taylor to be trained, where he still remains, He was brought to the post on Saturday last to contend for the Jerome Stak ‘a dash of two miles, high in flesh, but looked healthy, Ho was beaten 1n the race by Aristides, Calvin, Joe Cerns, Ozark and Milner, but landed in front of Ram- bler and Victor, The four defeats that the colt had sustained since he scored a victory led few to fancy him yesterday, and hence the low figures that he brought in the pools. This victory will make him more in demand in fature. The third race was tho Champagne Stakes for two- year-olds, a dash of three-quarters of amile. There were eight starters of the original twenty-eight nomina- tions, These were Carr & Co.’s chestnut colt Brisska, by Phaoton, dam Brenna; D. McDaniel & Co.’s black colt Virginius, by Virgil, dam Lute; Carr & Co.’s ba} colt Viceroy, by Gilroy. dam sister'to Ruric; P. Loril- lard’s brown colt Morris, by Leamington, dam Frivol- ity, and the samo gentleman’s bay filly Tigross, by Leamington, dam Remorseless; D. D. Withers’ ‘im- ported chestnut filly Cyclone, by Parmesan, dam Typhoon; George L. Lorillard’s chestnut colt Warlock, by War Dance, dam Undine; A. Belmont’s bay colt Bertram, by Kentucky, dam Bernice, and @. L. Loril- lard’s chestnut colt Sunbarst, by ‘Planet, dam Betty Ward. Virginius was the favorite, his fine ‘race of the day before making him many’ backers; P. Loril- lard’s team the second choice, Viceroy the third in favor, G. L. Lorillard’s fourth, Bertram fifth, the others being sold together as the fleld. A finer looking lot of two-year-olds was never seen in this country pe ap- ed at the post. The race was won by the favorite, Virgtnias, Cyclone, the imported filly belonging to Mr. ithe ing @ capital second, Tigress third.

When they came to the stand Chesapeake led four lengths, Ascen- sion second, two lengths in advance of Ohiltree, Chesapeake Showed the way around the upper turn, and at the quarter pole was leading three longths, Ascension second, Tom Ohiltree third, six lengths behind. The horses ran around the bluff in this order, and when they appeared in sight on the lower turn Chesapeake was still leading three lengths, Ascension second, eight lengths in frontot Tom. At the three- quarter pole they were somewhat closer together, and a “they passed the stand at | tho en of the mile and an eighth Chesapeake was leading two lengths, Ascension second, four lengths in front of Ohiltree, Evans keeping the latter well in hand. On the upper turn the pace was sharpened, and as the horses reached tho quarter pole two lengths divided Chesapeake from Ascension, the latter a9 the same distance in front of Ochiltree, ‘They passed around the bluff in this order, Dut at the half-mile pole they were running nose and tail in the same order as before. When they came in sight on the lower turn Chesapeake was leading a length only, and Tom Ochiltree was at the saddle skirts of the filly,’ Tom then forced his pace and at the three- quarter pole was oneven terms with Ascension, AS they came into the homestretch Chesapeake was lead- ing halfa length. Barbee was at that timo urging tho filly with whip and spur and in a moment or two after- ward wo noticed that Swim was playing the same game on Chesapeake, while Evans was bringing Tom Ochil- tree along without the aid of either of these persuasives. At the furlong pole he had both Ascension and Chesa- peake beaten, and he came galloping home an appar- ently easy winner to the amazement of the backers of the other two and the shouts of delight of those who had taken investments on him, Tho time of the two miles and an eighth was 4:093¢.

THIRD DAY OF THE FALL TROTTING MEETING— BEN SMITH AND RARUS THE WINNERS, ‘The third day of the fall trotting meeting at the Prose pect Park Fair Grounds was quite successful, The ate tendanco was very gratifying to the management, con- sidering the counter attractions at Jerome Park, and the sport of a pleasing character. The track was in good condition, THE 2:29 Rack, Two events were on the card, the first being a purse of $600, for horses that never beat 2:29; mile heats, three in five, in harness, Of six entries five came tothe score:—John Trout’s brown mare Jean Ingelow, Mike Carroll’s black gelding General, W. E. Con~ nors’ bay gelding Coroner K., James Dou~ grey’s gray gelding Ben Smith, and Scallan & Carson’s bay gelding Dusty. Before the start the pools averaged :—Coroner K., $100; Géneral, $30; Bem Smith, $22; fleld, $17. Ben Smith, after a sharp struggle down the stretch with Coroner K., won the first heat, General finishing second. The betting them ruled:—Ben Smith, $55; General, $22; fold, $18 Coroner K. went off and captured the second heat with+ out apparent effort, beating General out three lengths, with Dusty third, Jean Ingelow fourth and Smith last. Notwithstanding the inferior exhibition made by the gray he still sold first choice, an average pool being: Smith, $100; General, $42; flold, $35. Matters became alittle more mixed by General Winning the third heat, and Smith still holding a big favorite, one pool at thig stago of the race marking:—Smith, $100; fleld, $32 General placed the fourth heat to bis credit, which made ‘confusion worse confounded.” Before the fifth heat Smith remained the choice at 2 to 1 over ali the others, With General having two heats in against one each for Coroner K. and Smith, this state of affairs seemed inexplicable to ordinary observers, Smith’s time to do some work had now arrived, and he wentoff and won the fifth heat in 2:32 4¢, the fastest of the race, “Not winning a heat in five’ sent Jean Ingelow and Dusty to the stable, Smith here sold at 5 to 1 over the others, and, withou forcing, he landed the winner of the sixth beat and tha race. General took second money and Coroner K. thé third, Tue 2:21 ruRsE For this there came on the track three out of six en tries—John Splan’s bay gelding Kansas Chief, RB. Conklyn’s bay gelding Rarus and James Dougrey’s a gelding Joker. Owing to roports that Kansas Cie! was doing grandly and that Rarus was “short of work” the pools made the former at first slightly the favorite, but soon the Long Island horse led the others in th box, even as he led them in the race. He won it im three straight heats, the first and second being a gift, while the third, at the finish, was marked by shai work with Kansas Chief, who made the pace so hot that Rarus broke 100 yards from the wire and crossed th score dancing in the air. Kansas Chief took secon money and Jokor third, the fourth premium reverting to the association. SUMMARY. Prosrecr Park Farr Grounps, xfak Broozxyy, L. I.
