The sun’s rays were uncomfortably warm throughout the greater portion of the day, but the cvol, brisk breeze, whick, laden with the spring aroma of the budding forests of the park, swept over the grounds, was deliciously refreshing, and tired and heated pedestrians found immediate relief in the few shady Fetrea Ders were attracted to the romantic dells of the Lans downe Ravina, The buildings seem to be all well ven. tilated, and at no time did the temperature in the ‘nte- rior become in the slightest degree uncomforiable. ‘was particularly noticeable that a large proportion of the thousands of visitors at the grounis were strangers, | many of whom came to the:city on Sunday trains, while others, living at a less distance trom the Centennial City, arrived at an early hour, and, alter remaining on the grounds until late in tho afternoon, returned to their homes‘in the evening. ‘The fact that Philadelphia ‘was not very largely represented may be easily ac- ounted for when it is remembered that nearly all the visitors of Friday and Saturday were from the city and Ms suburban towns, The report that the restaurants bn the grounds were charging exorbitant prices (a re- port, by tho way, only true in cortain instances) had tvidently been widely circulated, for its effect could be scen yesterday in the large number of lubeh bas- kets, satchols, &c., curried by families from out of town. AN UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. Comparatively few of the visitors Who succeed in tearing themselves away from the myriads of attrac tons which claim their attention on their tour to the northwestarn section of the grounds aro able to reach Agricultaral Hail in time to give it more than a basty glance before the hour for leaving; and as those who go direct to the building teldom find . their way to the eastern cn- | Jranee, the large portion of the grounds lying to the northeast of this building are unknown to al! whose duties do not compel them to make that section of the enclosure a visit; yet there is to be seen half 4 dozen very important buildings on which work has progressed so rapidly as to be woll worthy of minute exammation, Directly east of the hall is the butter And cheese factory, which soon goes into operation, The hall where the various proce preserving iruits are to be exhibited immediately adjoins this, and not far from it is the oiler house, The wagon annex to Agricultural Hall will soon prove an interesting and instructive part of the exhibition, and the ornate Teaand Coffee Press Building, only a few steps distant, promises to become a leading point of attraction so soon asthe | walks in that portion of the ground are placed in good tondition. Tho Brewers, Building, northeast of Agri- aultaral Hall, finished, and in a day or two the whole operation of manufactaring the favorite Teutonic beverage can be examined at leisure by ull who may take either a personal or gen- eral interest in the subject.

The greater portion of this ass cannot slay long; business, or perhaps pleasure, | will soon take them elsewhere, and it is found that the average time of their attendance does not exceed a | week. Of course, they will come again, and, likely | enough, several times during the season, bringing | their families and taking a languid superficial view of the objects presented; but the total number of all these, considering the needs of the Exhibition, will be insignificant.

FOUR-OARED BRACE ON THE CHABLES RIVER BETWEEN THR BOSTON FYAULENEB-REGAN AND CITY POINT CRiWS— THE BOSTON CREW VICTORIOUS—THREE MILES IN TWENTY MINUTES AND TWENTY SECONDS. Bostox, May 22, 1876, The long agony is over, and the Faulkner-Regan crew is victorious over the City Potnt four, and will represent Massachusetts in the great Centennial aquatic contest at Philade!phia, After the foul which was de- clared im the race on Saturday, it was decided that there should be another trial this morning, and although the race was set down at the rustic and early hour of nine o’clock, there was nevortheless a crowd of over 30,000 people present to witness the con- test over which there has been so much excitement and eager anticipation, The weather and water were most auspicious, and, fortunately, the race and everything connected with it passed off in the most satistactory manner. THE Race Both erews wore loudly cheered by their friends when they made their appearance, but it was clear that the public confidence was strongest in the crew which finally proved victorious. At about 9h 35m. they both came down in lino and were soon in position. A FALSE stat. was made, and then they were recalled. The City Pointers had to back down, and’ just as they reached the mark and their oars were out of the water the word was given by Mr. Loring. The bow of the City Point boat was not in good position, and when the word was given in bis haste he unshipped his oar. The Bostona were all ready and made a magnificent start, the power of their stroke and the misfortune to the other boat sending them half a length nearly to tho front before their opponents got solidly at work. The boats had been duly separated, and the Bostons’ seemod tnclined to keep far enough out at the first of the race. At the end of the first minute tho woll with an effective 42 stroke, and the others were pulling 40. Both crews were taking and leaving the water clean, and rowing in thetr respective styles, as described in the Hxratp’s account of Saturday’s race, The grace and power of the Bostons’ stroke was remarkable, tho blades of the 11}, and 12 feet sweeps going well back, catching the water square and without going through the water without a jerk as far as the pur- chase heid strong, then fe ering and recovering steadily, | about the same measure of the dip/and pull ‘he men movod in splen- did form, and showed what can be done by Jong training together.. 1t would have.been a disaster indeed to the Bostons to have started the raco two weeks"ago without their old stroke, Reagan, for ho 45 @ finished oar, though perhaps not as graceful as No, 2 Ina word, no professional crew that bas been on the Charles for the past ten years could be compared with the Bostons in the grace and style of rowing. The City Pointers showed a lack of experience iu compart- son with their competitors, but, athletically speaking, they are superior; their stroke was exhaustive and ress endurance was therefore happily appropriate. AU END OF THR FIRST MINUTE the speed of either boat had not varicda foot. The City Pointers kept cool and worked like beavers, and | at the end of the fist three-quarters ot a mile they slowed their stroke to 39 and the Bostons had dropped to 87 40 the minute. The latter changing first gave tho Pointers a foot or two, but there was more third of @ length between thi prows.. The Bostons seemed all the time to bave a fooling of great Teserve power, and this was shown later in the race, At the Mill Dam they were pulling along at the eame timed stroke and the others had changed to 87, The moment the latter did so the Bostons seemed to move the fastegt, and soon Captain Higgins called his men to quicken’to 38, ‘his, as the men in both boats wero good deal more effective, or else their boat was more easily sent along, probably both. ‘There was no change in the stroke till they were within a third of x mile of | the stake boats. Both had steered splendidly and no advantage was to be gained in finding the buoys. The Bostons then quickened and rowed up to its point ata 42 | dash, coming close to the object and turning it sharply, They had been out just 9 minutes and 82 seconds, and were HALF ROUND, when the City Pointers reached the buoy, eight showed a wonderfal reserve, In making the turn the Bostons gained very much, and when both were on the course again for home they were too open lengths | abead, They did not rush away but settled sohdly to ther work at a thirty-six stroke, and the City Pointers did not ‘neem disconcerted, for they acted coolly and came down with a 36 stroke too, The latter crew looked tired and little inclined to a spurt, while the Bostons scomed very fresh and rowed like a crew out for practice, The City Pointers were evidently de- termined not to get excited, and although, the leading boat was opening on them gradually they did not re- spond to the cries of the people on shore until down below the pump, when they quickened w 27 and then 38. All this time. th directly in | x bead that ther | back oars did not affect the latter, and instead of in- creasing the timo of their stroke, slowed it to thirty. five. Their movement with stroke was splendid and their exhibition was greatly admired. Half way home tho Pointers made three deviations from a straight | Ine, which lost them all of two strokes, bat they kept | pluckily at work and followed on as fast a8 they could, | and making very little fuss. From Dartmouth street in | the Bostons, then about three lengths ahead, increased _ their stroke to thirty-#ix, and added a trifle to | their lead. Nearer home Pointers made a final rally and the Bostons quickened again to 40 strokes to the minute, the same ag they went away with, and in | just 20m. 203. from the time the word was given they crossed the line. The City Pointers at a 26 rate ; came in 13 strokes thereatter, The timekeepers say that the last boat was in in 20m, 49s., but as their rate of stroke was 36, and they only pulled 13 strokes after probably be found nearer 20m. 298 than 20m. 49s. + XVERYTHING LOVELY. The City Pointers said they had been honestly beaten, and had dows all they could to win. Such being the will pay overto the Bostons the $1,000 stakes, which will help the crew out in their wnip ‘to Philadelphia for the Centennial race, when they wi! stand a good show for the medal, ENGLEHART TO O’NEIL - .

DISCHARGE OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS, All officers of the volunicer service of the be discharged from se1 avy shall ice attor the lst of July, 1876, and luwy authorizing appointment or employment by the tary of the Navy of any person in the vol- unteer navy shall be and are hereby repeaied. provided that all civil engineers now in th val service aball be discharged on the 1st aay of July, Mr. Buount, (dem.) of Ga, representing the Commit- tee on Appropriations in the mansgement of this bill, stated that that committee made no recommendation, favorable or unfavorable, as to the umendment, but left it entirely to the consideration of the House, THE ORIKCT OF THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Warrruoayg, (dem.) of Tonn., said that the ject of the Committee on Naval Affairs in reporting this resolution was to align itself in the movement of reformation on which the House had en- fered, not only in the reduction of the y,' but of the number of officers, ‘here were now 1,612 comm ssioned officers in the navy, or, with the cadet engineers, cadet midshipmen and Volunteor officers, 1,953 When the number of enlisted mex was divided by the number of officers there were four men to one officer, This was dispro- rtionate. In other words, the naval service was top eavy. It was with a view of economy as well as of efticiency that the Committee on Naval Affairs made this recommendation. The proposed reduction of pay averaged ten per cent, which would conform to and harmonize with the reduction made by the House inthe y of army officers. The amenament was reported not in hostility to th ial service, but to make the pay “of the officers of the navy correspond with that of the ollicers of the army, grade for grade and rank for rank. He believed that that would be just alike to the navy, ‘the army and the people. “MR. HALE IN OPPOSITION. Mr, Hate, (rep.) of Me., a member of the Appropria- tion Committee, opposed'the amendment. He wauted the House to realize the importance of | the ‘proposition ani then to take. the respon. sibility of acting «oon it. It wa the ‘at time that the question had come up since the great war of striking at one of the military establishments of the country. The people had but one way of reward- distinguished themselves Jate war. It was not by ennobling them ; not by m grants of land or money, usin otber ut they created for them admiraisbips wud rear admiraiships, and the pay for those ranks had been =xed = commensurate with like ranks 1m other countries On the naval ing the brave officers who ip un list proposed to be struck nt by the amendinent were a | Porter, « Rowan, u Davis, a Rogers, a Worden ot the monitor, aud a dozen others. These meu had had their pay Uxed at a rate higher than that betore the war, largely in consideration of their services, and now it was proposed to strike at them; to take trom the wdmirais $3,000 a year, and w reduce the pay of Fear ndmitais, commodores, aptama, ce This was the only way in which these men could be struck at, The gentionan “from Teunessce nob yet had the bardihood two Eze dismissing these gallant men im service and sending them out with nothing to live Upon, but 80 far as he dared he proposed w reduce their pay. The pay of the American uavy oflicers to- day was smaller than that of the officers of any other | Davy; besides, the higher officers im other navies were aliowed for the expeuse of exercising the duties of British admiral having $8,000 a year al- Jowed him for that purpose; but American officers ha: ‘no such aiiowance. The men who commanded fleets in the American navy we whom the people bad been taught by four years’ experience to regard and venerate, Ali of them were pinched to live at their present rates of pay, and it was as Dy towns for a navy officer to suve movey out of his pay as for a clerk in one of the departments to do su, This motion, to strike at the Amorican Davy, bad not come from the Committee on Appropriations, That committee had done certain things which be could not commend, but it bad the two establishments of the army and navy, He believed that the American peopte did not wish to see suruck those , to Whom they owed so much. Mr. Mitts, (dem,) of Texas, a momber of the Naval pe ted tee, moved an amendment to hog ent, jowing a longevity pay of ten per cent every five years’ ‘ferviow wo pol eg oflicers rank of commodore. Mr. Daxvonp, (rep.) of Ohio, Committee, opposed Mr. W!

Accord: to good military authorities, officers would be adequate to command the present army of 25,000 men, ‘whether 1a peace or war, e! ‘The discussion was continued by Mr. Hale ‘of Maino, Mr. Banks of M usetis, Mr, Willard of Michigan, aguinet the amendment, and. by iif. ‘Waning of Onto’ inst the amendment, anc re r eres of Georgia. aud Mr, Mills of rt of it Pn the course of Mr. Kasson’s remarks he declarod that the proposition struck a blow at the navy which ‘no naval war ever struck at it, and that it slaughtered officers a8 no naval battle ever slaughtered them. He repudiated, on behalf of his constituents, the idea that. tho people demanded this blow to be struck at the navy 4py more than they had demanded it im regard a repelled a remark made by Mr, Hale to the effect that the pill for the reduction of the pay of army officers had heen rushed throagh the Honse without any opportunity for discussion. Mr. Hane quoted trom the proceedings of the late Democratic Convention in Ohio to show that a resolu- tion commending the reform acts of the House had not been adopted, and drew trom it the conclusion, either that the gentieman (Mr. Banning) did not represent the democracy of his State, or that that democracy did not indorse the action of the House. Mr, Banxyine inquired which of the two rets of reso- lutions of that Convention, the majority or minority, he would adopt. Mr. Haux replied that bo had never seen in any democratic couvention any set of resolutions, majority or ininority, that he would adopt, ‘The discussion being closed, tho vote was taken, firat on Mr. Mili’s amenament, allowing longevity pay, and it was agreed to, Mr. Hatx, of Maine, moved to strike out of Mr. Whitihorne’s amendment the paragraph beginning “and the pay of all other offivers on the active list,’ &e. Agreed to, Mr. Raxp. (op.) of Pa, moved to strike out of Mr. Whitthorne’s amendment the provision requiring the discharge of the volunteer officers of the navy. Agreed to, Mr, Eases, big?) of R. I, moved to strike out the paragraph of Mr, Whitthorne’s amendment fixing 1 the number of officers in each grade. Rejected, Mr. Whitthorne’s amendment was ther rejected, the, vote by tellers being 72 to 74. * Mr. Daxvoro, of Ohio, moved to amend the graph in tho bill which fixes the number of men in the avy at 7,500 by making the number 8,600, Rojecteu. THE NAVY YARDS, The section in relation to the discontinuance of owe yards having been reached, Mr, Milla, ot Texas, mi the point of order that it was new legislation and was not ip the line of economy, but the point of order was overruled. Mr. Lewis, of Alabama, from the Committee on Naval Alfairs, offered the following amendment as a substituie;— ‘That the navy yards at Brooklyn, Kittery, Charlostow! d Nortolk be rotuined fo ral and those ab Pensacola and Me do. retalned. as maval rendex- ia and Maro faland vousos.and for temporary repairs, and tho yard at Washing- ages the a ton be used only fur wnanufaeturing pur direction of the Secrotary ot the Navy, and the yards xt League Island und New Lundon be shandoned, and the Droperty thereto appertaining, where the same canaot, be Utilized or removed withont too great expense, bo sold and. the pr turned into the Treasury; snd ‘for the Gstablishment at the foregving yards ~~ thousand dollars. Mr. Key, (rep.) of Pa, made a point of rT Om the amendinent, that it was new legislation and not in the line of economy. Ho argued that it would bea ‘matter of gross extrayagance to sell League Island, much more to retrocede it, Psiley long discussion, in which Mr. Randall and Tr. port of the point of order, the point ‘was overruled by the chairman (Mr. Cly- met) on the ground that the abandonment of those navy yards would retrench expenditures, even though their abandonment might not be.a matter of good Policy or economy. ~Without’further action on tho bill the committec rose, fud the House, at 6 o’ciock, adjourned, 4 THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, CONGRESS INVESTIGATING THE CIRCUIT AND DIs- TRICT COURTS AND UNITED STATES MAR- SHAL'S OFFICE.
