Mr. Eustis then moved that the case of Mr, ets sg reopeped, and the motion was carried. Mr. Miller, the president of the clab, then read a number vf affidavits trem John Coster, Charies Moon, Jobn P. Conklin, Clayton C. Myers, James HL? Riley, William Riley and Ansom M. Balch, which ali went to deny the charge that Riley bad ined a living by the use of the oar or paddie and ied for a money stake. The affidavits were all vory strong and put Ri 's case in an entirely new light, Mr. Delafeld, of the Nepiune Club, was then put through aclose examination, and afierward Mr, Riley was brought up in person and questioned. Mr. Gar- field then went into a loug history of his knowledge of Mr. Kiley’s case, offsetting aud contradicting a num- ber of the affidavits tendered in evidence by the Nep- tune Club and taking « very docided stand against the Feadmission of Mr. 'y. There was some rather op- Posite views expressed in regard to certain statements made between Mr. Delafield and Mr. Garfield, of so di- fect @ nature that one of the gentlemen must have been mistaken. Mr. Dexter then cut the matter short ‘and said that the question would be decided in u private Beeson.

NEWARK AQUATICS, ANNUAL REGATTA OF THE MYSTIC CLUB, ‘The annual regatta of the Mystic club of Newark took place yesterday on the Passaic River, one of the most charming and picturesque boating courses in the vicinity of New York. The number of spectators was sbout 1,000, the bulk of whom congregated at the bouse and platform of the Triton club, The day was all that coun be desired. At tho best part of the racing the tiae was at a stanastill, The day’s sport began with a single scull race between two members of tho Mystic club, in which, after a well contested race, Mr. Adams carried off the prize from Mr. Tuttle, winning by about six boat lengths. The course was one mile apd a and the prize a bandsome badge, After this came a_ four-oared scull race between two crews from the Mystic club, In con- Sequence, however, of the breaking of the foot strap of the bow oar of one of the crews tho race was when rowed about balf way, No interest in the matter, it being considered no race. ¥ The real excitement of the day was the contest be- tween the Athletics of Harlom River and the Tritons of Newark. This was a three-mile race between a picked crew from tho two clubs, It started over an hour be- hind the time announced, From the outset it was evi- dent that the Athletics would have an easy victory. Their rowing was easy, graceful, regular and in perfect rmony, while that of the Tritons was jerky, ven and most irregular It was remarked, too, that while the steering of the Athletics was excellent that of the Tritons was wretched in the extreme. The feault was a very easy vietory for the Athletic, They made the three miles in 20m, Sa, The Tritons were twelve seconds and twelve boat lengths —_ behind, The winning crew. tonsiatod of Messrs, R.

Naw York, June 8, 1876, To tax Eorror or tux Herat I cannot allow Mr. Sexton’s so-called “answer,” published in your paper of this day’s date, to pass un- noticed. Jn the first place Mr. Sexton claims that his challenge (for $5,000 a side) ‘‘strips mine of ali force.” As a matter of fact it is well known among billiard players that such challenges are mere ‘‘buncombe” and never meant to be accepted. He next descends to something very like personal abuse, insinuating so strongly as almost to assert that [am simply actuated by spite toward the tournament in which he 1 «© engaged.

No place will be ullowed to be open for the sale of beer or other intoxteating beverage so long as my force holds out, for it I have to use every man | shall do my duty.”” Rerorter--What are your views, Captain, of the right of a policoman to enter such a pluce as Gilmore's Garden without paying bis entrance fee? “So far as my men are concerned, when I send them to such a place I give them money to buy tickets,” “po you intend sending officers there in citizen’s dress to-day?” “Ido; and every waiter caught selling will most assuredly be arrested, I hope to be able to keep every saloon m my precinct closed to-morrow, but, of course, my men can’t break into a saloon to see if hquor is boing sold there. ”?

Preaching in Plimpton Hall this morning for the Fitth Universalist Society, CHAT BY THE WAY. If we should believe only what we can understand, we should believe very little. Protestants complain that Roman Catholicism is in- creasing in the South, The law is that the field belongs to those who work hardest in it. It will never do to sit still, and then complain that some one else is getting good wages, Rev. Mr. Briar created a prickly sensation last week Yn the Assembly by saying that the roots of the Catho- le Uhareh are too deep down to be dug up. Well, who- ever has what the people want will sell his goods, All denominations afe subject to that wholesome Our Baptist friends are subjected to a great many witty criticisms, A Baptist deacon was tishing one day and caught a nondescript. “What's that?’’ he asked, “We cull that fish tho Baptist,” was the reply. “And what is your reason for the name?’ “Why, because he sptles the moment he is taken out of the water.

Filial affection 19 a delightful thing, and such illustrations of watchtul caro of the health of the aged Is very touching, Judge Hilton is getting a great many letters from tho spirit land. Mr, Stowart’s advent into the other world seems to have created quite a stir, if we may Judge by the tenor of the epiniles. which come back. His opinions have undergone a great change, too, for he gives instructions to have his large property divided among those who have been “inspired”? to Iay claim to it, Ifthe Judge heeds this admonition of his de- Parted friend he will probably find the pamber of the “inspired”? so great that he will soon become simply the trustee of all the spiritual mediums in the country, From the description which is given of the other world by those Who make revelations through table legs and other useful pieces of furniture, we should Judge it neceesary to kill off a half dozen first. class founders of insane asylums on the ground that they are much more needed there than here. The Celestial City seems to be sadly deficient im this sort of imstitu- tion. This matter of Spiritualism excited so much atten- tion awhile ago that Mr. Hepworth investigated the subject pretty thoroughly, and exposed the frauds of mediums in the columns of the Hrraup. THe also fitted up a room in the upper story of bis house which ‘was much frequented by the “disembodied.” Tables Tose im the air, books tumbled from their sheives, chairs danced all over the room, raps were heard in unexpected quarters, and hands and faces were ma- terialized. Spirit mediums acknowledged that he conld give the best séance of ony person in the country. His friends were frightened lest ho might become a genuine Spiritualist, but their tears were allayea when he showed them thatit was all a clever piece of trickery. What a delighttul thing it would be to give up tho Bible and put your confidence in a piano leg or a rotating chair! A parafline hand is worth more, re- hgiously, than the Gospel of Joho, and to know that your mother- wis materializing herself behind a black curtain, and will svon utter one of the pet names: of old in your ear, must indeed be a satisfaction.

It is very instructive to jouk over the results of the various anniversary conventions held in Boston and New York during the last two weeks. At such times not only do the wise men put their heads together to perfect the machinery of progress, but the riders of an hundred hovby horses also slow the paces of their steeds. Webaye beon amused at the amount of work which bas been laid out by ministers and philanthro- | pists for the coming year. According to their pro- gramme the constitution ts to be fixed up so that if a stranger from the New Jerusalem should chance this way and ask for that document he would scoat a glance that we sre a religious people, and that the name of God hus been inserted in jt, though that namo may not be respected elsewhere. The Centennial is to be at once Improved to such an extent that no liquor shall be cold within its limits and the doors shall bo closed on Sandays, AW the distilleries of the land to be destroyed and we are to become a nation of te totallers whether we willor no. The Mormons are to be invited to “go West’ and the Indians are1o bury the hatebet and smoke the pipe of pence. No, not the pipe of peace, because the tobacco crop is to be dis- couraged andthe weed abolished. Various other re- forms have been set on foot and in the course of twelve montbs we are to become a moral people in spite of ourselves, After that a processton of flery chariots and we are all going to glory. It never pays to throw stones, because all our houses have more or less glass in them. One of our prominent Protestant denominations passed a resolu- tion to the effect that ‘The Catholic Church is anti- Christ,’ and seemed to enjoy it with that peculiar sat- wtuction which is the resuit of a pleasant dnty well done. Weare only an outsider, to be sure; but while there are so many divisions among Cbristions, would it not be well to exercise that obsolete virtue called charity spoken of somewhere in the Now Testament? Hard names never bring us nearer together, and it is not oasy to begin the work of salvation by knocking each other down. Mere wordlings smile when Chris- tians quarrel, aud time speat in-burling epithets at each otber is time wasted. Wo talk loddly about unity, but while we shake our fists at each other we only prove our want of sincerity. There was a conven- tron called once, the object of which was to unity the Christian world. The Episcopalian arose ant said it could easily be done by adopting the Prayer Book, the Vresbytetian thought it could be accomplished by sub- stivuting the Weatininster Catechism for the Prayer Book, and the Methodist felt that what was realy needed was the abolition of both these peculiarities and the adoption of itinerant preaching, The conven- ton broke up amit adjectives which are only found in “Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.” When we admit that oach sect has its place and werk, that al sects are needed and should be supported, wo ehall accomplish more for unity than by all the disenssions that ever made hot tempers. SYNAGOGUE WORSHIP. THE IMPORT AND DESIGN OF HUMAN SUFFER- ING—JACOB'S DAYS FEW AND EVIL—DR. GOTTHEIL'S DISCOURSE, The Pentecoetal festival has left its remains in the Temple Emanuel, where yesterday festoons of ever- greens were suspended from every favorable point, The congregation,, too, was larger than ordinarily gathers there on awarm June day. They had been reading that portion of the history of Joseph in Kgypt which so touchingly describes the meeting of Joseph and his father Jacob and the introduction of the latter to Pharaoh, who asked him how old he was, ‘The an- swer of the patriarch to this question was the text trom which Dr, Gottheil discoursed—“The days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years; few and evil have the days of the years of my hfebeon, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their | Pilgrimage.” What a sad and disheartening account that is, said Dr, Gottheil, from one who had worked so faithfully and lived so abundantly, aud who had been blessed by God in such an extraordinary manner, He was fometimes far toogolelitous for bis own welfare, and adopted devices that we cannot justify. He sometimes chose the crooked instead of the straight path. A great deal of his disappointment was caused by his own in- jadicious discrimination between his children, But had he not deserved better of th® hand of a righteous God thun that, at tho end of 130 years, he should be com- pelled to say that all his days were evil? If we consult our own experience and consider the years that we have spent in devotion to those we love as i the presence of God, even such lives may be said to nave been few and evil, And this brings up the question that has pressed upon our hearts trom the earliest ace, WHAT IX MUMAN SCPPRRING FoR? What does it mean? If we could know its meaning and design beforehund wo should have no place for the exercise of faith. But faith comes in and says ‘Be still, and know thatthe hand that chastises is a fathor’s. ” ‘Tao time will come when the vel will be drawn away, the darkness will disappear, and all the paths of tribu- lation will become roads uf peace forever. 80 8} eth faith, and so speaks your religion to you. The very highest perfection of the Jewish religion is to sanctify the nume of God to you in the darkest hour, But it is necessary to look around and within us to see if this doctrino is supported by our own experience. This question is profound, and our astate philosophers have not provided usa key by which we may unlock the door of mystery and ascertain the truo design of suflering. The visitations of God sometimes fall thick ani fast upon the dearest affections of our hearts, And yet for the human heart nature makes no prov- ision ‘and takes no thought of it, Dr. Gottheil referred to the beauties of nature and its response to the sen- | timents and frailties of the soul, and then said that there is no evidence in ail this that it is done for our benefit, Nature expends herself in this way whether there be a buman heart to enjoy it or not, She goes straight to her purpose and does not mind if one, two or ten human bearts wre crushed. She makes no ac- count of the human heart; so much so, indeed, that the conclusion was forced upon thinking minds 1m the olden time that there were two deities governing this world, and that sometimes one was master and some- times the other, But we who do not believe in moro than one Supreme Cause, what shailwe say’ As we learn more of nature's laws men say suffering will cease; but I don’t think experience wall bear thisout. Jacob at 130 years felt all the burdens of old oge, as did his fathers in more advanced years. {t is not truo that CIVILIZATION LIGHTENS THR NURDENS OF THE RACE. Wherever there 1¥ merease ot enjoyment there isan increase of HAS also. There are causes of misfortune known to-day that were unknown 100 years ago, The relation of nature to tae human beart re- ins the same. It is true that nature serves inan, bat ig obedient to. his will only to a certain degres, etimes be rules and sometimes be is crushed, 18 thore not truth in Jacob’s stutemont that his life was a pilgrimage and that his home was somewhere else? Does it not point to the fact that this earth is not the home of the human heart? If it were we should not have been endowed with the attribute of love. A Germau writer has beautifully said that the idea of immortality is but the home sickness and longings of the human heart, Here we find those things taat we love most and best are taken away from us; and do you think that this longing to moet the loved ones again was given to ts for nothing? [tis tho voice of our Heavenly Father calling us to himself, 1 koow that because this homesickness affects every buman heart there must be a common home tor all. Here we may be divided by creeds and nationalities and 80- cial distinctions; but when all this shall be done away, and when that which now torments us and makes us doubt and waver is gone, we shull then find that the human heart was not forsaken, but that a brother's hand had carried us through those trials and dangers. But just as Jacob did so shall we look at last to the home, not m Egypt, but in the land of promise, and wo shall find that God gocs down with us even into the jJand of the shadow of death and brings us up to our own beloved home, MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS, BAPTIST, The Baptists have now among the fivo trives occa Pying the indian Territory ecighty-three cyurches, with an aggregate membership of over 5,000, The Orst Baptist church in Michigan was formed at Pontiac in 1822, and thirteen years later there wero fifty-two churches in the State, with a membership of 2,699, Forty years later, or in 1875, the statistics showed 306 churches and 21,676 mempers, The net value of the charch property, atter deducting $¢4,500 debt, is $1,160,200, Rev.

PAUL'S, DESCRIPTION OF THE CHURCH WHICH IS TO BB ERECTED FOR THE PAULIST FATHERS AT FIFTY-NINTH STREZT. To-morrow afternoon the corner stone of one of the andsomest and most spacious ecclesinstical edifices of the country will be laid in this city, The somewhat primitive structure on Fifty-ninth street, which fora umber of years has served the Paulist Fathers both as church and monastery, 18 about to becomo only an appendage of a magnificent church covering the ares of an ordinary city square, The Order of tho Congrogation of St. Paul the Apos- tle is a religious community almost entirely American in its membership. It was founded not many years ago by a native of this c Many of tho Paulist Fathers have travelled on the other side of the Atiantic and have bad exceptional facilities afforded them to study the architecturay beauties of the’grand old medival edifices of Europes and there is reason to believe that the knowledge thua acquired will be judiciously applied by them in BRAUTIFYING THEIR NEW CHURCH, Already the initiatory preparations have been mado for the erection of the edifice, and for weeks buck crowds have stood gazing at the immense area hol- towed out on Ninth avenue for the laying of the founda tions, and many have been ata loss to divine the user to which @ structure ot such magnitude was likely to bo devoted, The site aclected covers a bigh piect of ground just at the terminus of the Elevated Railroad. It is one block west of Central Park and occupies the space bounded by Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets, fronting on Ninth avenue, the ground being 200 feet front and rear by 400 feet deep. The rock which formerly rose in this place has been Dlasted and quarried to the required depth for the crypt and basement, which will occupy the entire area, All the walls and piers will, therelore, have their foun- dations resting on the solid rock, a matter of the first unportance in a building of such magnitude. Tho wails will be built of the hard blue stone quarried on the premises, faced externally with red Connecticut granite, Tne basemont will be seventeen fect six inches high and will accommodate about 2,000 worshippers. It is the intention of ‘the Paulist Favhers to enclose and roof this ‘basement soon us its walls are built, and to put im an altar, pews, &c., 80 that 1torn be ased as weburch until the superstructure is completed, The preseut church, which now forms part of the convent, 18 to be remod: eiled avd jurvished to accommodate the inereasin, members of the commanity.

The tloors will be laid upon rolled fron beams, with brick arches between, to render the structure absolutely fireproof. The inside walls will be plastered, the ceiling groimed and finished with moulded ribs and carved busses ‘springing from attached col- umns on the side wails, and the roots will be mado of wrought iron of the most approved construction, with a covering of the best quality of slate, The entrances will be five in number aud § feet to 16 1eot wide, atford- ing ample facilities tor the rapid eutrance or exit of a large evogregation. The windows throughout will ve in proportion to the buiiding, those bear the ground being comparatively small and those above broad and lengthy. All are to be framed in cut stone tracery and glazed with cathedral und antique stained glass of rich color and appropriate design, uiving to the interior of the batiding the soft ened aud subdited light and tone so desirable in a place of worship, The entire chureh will be heated by steam and thoroughly ventilated, so as to insure a regular and uniform temperatare at all seasous.
