At the samo meeting he managed, with 117 pounds up, to get second place to Premier May, years old, carrying 187 pounds, in the Prix de Ville d@Avray (selling race), about one mile and a quarter. ‘His last appearanco at this age was in the Prix de Fer- tidres (seing race), rather more than a milo anda quarter, Paris summer meeting, which he won with 119 pounds on his back, against a fleld of nine, AMERICAN JOCKEY CLUB. BECOND DAY OF THE SPRING MEETING AT JEROME PARK. Theracing cannot fail to be of the first class kind to-day at Jerome Park as the horses engaged in the five events to come offare all clippers, The first race wall be a dash of a milo with allowances for maidens; the second, the Westchester Cup, a dash of two miles end a quarter; the horses that come to the post wiil be as ine as any in tho country, and although the field may not be so large as the number of entries would indicate, the quality will make amends for the quantity. Only those who bave achance of winning willbe started, and a’splen- did race may bo anticipated. This event will be tol- lowod by the Maryland Stakes, for lillies three yoars old @ dash of one mile—a stake that closed with forty-four pominations. This will boa very doubtiul affair, and the individaal that could pick the winner before tho start could’ draw a prize in alottery. Loriilard, Bel- mont and McDaniel will bring clippers to the post, but there wiil be representatives from other stables that the ats”? think well of, and are giving the “tips” in whi to their patrong The fourth will bea dash of one mile and three-quarters, tor all ages, to carry 120 Iba, with no allowances, The sport will conclude ‘with a steeplechase over the usual course.

BEGATTAS OF ATLANTIC AND JERSEY CITY CLUBS TO-DAY—ENTRIES AND EEGULATIONS—THE PRIZES TO BE COMPETED For. + The eleventh annual regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club takes place to-day, and, from the character of the yachts entered, sore interesting racing may bo looked or. The number of competing vessels, however, 18 not so large as usual, This may, perhaps, be attributed to the early date for which the regatta bas been fixed, for many yacht owners find it impossible to get their crait into proper trim so early in the season, Then, again, those who have beon building new boats cannot pos- sibly, asa generalrule, get them in racing order in time to take part in regattas set down for the early part of June. The same condition of affairs may be said to apply to all the regattas to occur this week. The idoa ‘that in order to secure a air sailing breeze the regattas must take place the first week in June, which is the reason advanced for fixing them at that time, ia without doubt an erroneous one, as. was conclusively proved Inst year, whea in the early re- gattas there was a general complaint of “no wind,’” while in the races which took placo at the latter end of the month it was quite the reverse, and exceedingly beavy weather was experienced. With regard to the regattas to-day the usual good luck in the matter ot wind which for years has favored the Atlantic Club 1s hoped for, and if it should so turn out the contests be- tween the yachts in the different classos will prove most interesting, as many of them are old antagonists, and, having had slight altcratigns made, with a view to improvements in. speed and sailing qualities, .] anxious to try conclusions and for a time settle the question as to which is the fastest boat ‘ THM PROGRAMME provides for three races—viz., one for schooners, one for first class sloops (all cabin sloops of 40 feet and over on water line), one for second class sloops (all cabin sloops under 40 feet on water line), Prizes will be-awarded to the first boat in on time allowance tn each class. In addition, the “Livingston Memorial’’ prize will be awardetl to the first yacht, of the first class sloops, in at home ptakeboat irrespective of time allowance, to be held on,the corditions of the presen- tation. ¥ The course will be, for schooners and first class sloops, from the anchorage down through the Narrows to and around the stakeboat at Southwest Spit (on buoy $46), thence to and around lightsbip, rounding the same by eastward and southward, thence home, going to southward and westward of beacon on Romer Shoal, For second class sloops, the same course, to and around stakeboat at Southwest Spit (on buoy 834), thence to and aroand a stakeboat near a buoy in Ged- ney Channel, rounding the same from the southward, thence home, passing to the westward of beacon on Romer Shoal. 5 All yachts must pass to westward of Fort Lafayette, to the eastward of buoys 11, 18 and 15 on West Bank, both going and returning; around stakeboat at South- west Spit by the westward and southward, and at homo stake between tho two stakeboats marking the line. The home time will be taken asthe yachts cross the line between the two stakebvats, If one yacht of the fleet shall sail the courgo (as pre- scribed for ite class) in eight hours, it will be consid- ered a race for every class. The distance of courses, upon which time allowance will be calculated, will be for schooners and first class sloops, forty miles; for second class sloops, thirty-two miles, THY START will be a flying one for all classes. The signal for start- ing will be given trom the guests’ steamer, Magenta, and will be as follow: Finst Warst.x—10:45 A. M.—For yachts to ap- proach the starting pomt.

An in- terval of ten minutes will be allowed for the schooners to cross the line marked 4 two flagboats, Tump Warst.’—For all sloops to start. Ten min- utes will be allowed for all s.oops to cross the dine. Any yacht that may not cross the line within the time allowed jor its class will be ruled out, In eitner class at least two yachts must start, olse no prize will be awarded in such class. All yachts will fly the club flag from the main peak throughout the regatta, Distinguishing numbers will be assigned each yacht entered. Owners and captains will observe that the double numbers are separated, and are reqnested to see that they are placed sul- ficiently far apart (say fitteen inches) that they may be distinguishable at a distance. They should isk placed conspicuously on the mainsail above the reef points, ENTRIES, The following ts a complete list of the entries, show- ing the mean length and time allowances:— SCHOONERS, Mean Allow- Length. “ances.

DUBLIN VICISSITUDES OF THE IRISH BOATING ARBBANGE- MENTS FOR THE COLLEGE LEGATTA AT SATA: TOGA—MATTERS STILL IN A MUDDLE. Dumus, May 25, 1876. Mr. Frank Rees, of New York, arrived here last Sat- urday, hoping to be more successful among the oars- men of Dublin University than he had been at Oxford and Camoridge, He was at once in communication with Mr, Leslie, one of the Fellows of frinity Colle, and, as I have often had occasion to state, Vice Presi- dent of the University Boat Club, Mr. Leslie had been trom the first quite decided in the opinion that an un- dergraduate crew could not go from Dublin, and the invitations sent from America by Mr. Rees had been courteously bat firmly dechned. However, after per- sonal conierence with Mr. Kees, Mr. Leslie seems to have quite changed this view and to have become converted to the feasibility of sending over a crew, On Monday morning Mr. Rees was able to assure me that bis mission had been quite successiul, Said he:— “The Dublin men had at last decided to send a repre- sentative undergraduate crew to Saratoga. There was even a faint prospect that they might send a six instead of a four, but this was not likely. The race would come off before the 15th of Auguat, or on that date if desired. The undergraduate crew will land in America about the last week in July. Everything haa been set- ted, Some of the Dublin undergraduates’ generous friends came forward and offered to pay all expenses. Alter rowing at Saratoga this crew will go on to Phila- delphia,” UNIVERSITY OARSMEN, THR CENTENNIAL REGATTA CREW. Tho readers of the HERALD are aware that a crew was formed a couple of months ago of Dublin oarsmen, who propose going to Philadelphia. This crew consists of the two brothers Barrington and Pentland, all mombers of the boat club, and Hickson, the captain of the row- tng club, Mr, Reos' arrangements did not seem to take them into account at all. Of course, their plans for Philadetpbia could not be affected by what was done in respect of Saratoga, Mr, Rees himeeli stated ‘that his “arrangement for the undergraduate representa- tive crew willexclude the Barrington crew as they are all graduates, the eider Barrington having bad no con- nection with the university for four or five years, (Th 18 not quite correct.) ‘he Barringtons, also, will be Philadelphia, and will epter forthe graduates’ race ‘ney would like (o row our association a grail. on Sat a Lake on the same day as the undergraduates’ race, f REKA’ DELICATH MISSION. Repeatedly Mr. Rees assured me that everything was settled except the names of the crew, and that they would go into training immediately. He seemed weil pioused with the resuit of bis visit to Dublin, and with good reason. He told me that hts task was a delicate ‘and by no means an easy one, on account of the ri- yalry between the two clabs. Tho readers of the Heravp are aware of this rivairy, but Mr. Rees seems to have had no notion of its intensity tll actual expe- rience revealed it. OMKCTIONS TO THE ARRANGEMENTS. The names of the undergraduate crew hud not been settled with Mr. Rees. Upon waiting on Mr. Lesiio next day to learn them, and to procure further intor- mation, | was shocked to bear trom that gentleman ghat everything Was agun quite ‘tat sea.’ On the Monday evening some members of the boat club called on Mr. Leshe to protest against the arrangements made with M contrary to the jhe whole matter eting of the “Ana so,” said M. Leslie, “I have nothing to tell, until Saturday at least Upon making further inquiries tt transpired that the arrangements made with Mr. Rees ure being objected to on two grounds, First, tho rules of the boat club require that whenever an undertaking is made to take part in a distant regatta the proposal must lirst be con- sidered and approved in a meeting of the committee of the clul id then it must be ratified by a general meeting of the club, to whicm all members are sum- moned. Now, this has not been done in the present use; hence the action of Mr. Leshe and bis triends 1s Open to be not merely challenged, but repudiated by the general body. Some members of the Club are per- suaded that a representative undergraduate crew, qu ited to uphold the character oi the Dublin oarsmen, is ‘not to be bad just at present, They are not likely on Saturday to approve of Mr. Leslie’s action in engaging on the part of the club to send over such a representa. tive crow, The second ground of objection ts, perhaps, moro serious, It has been asked very, widely here—“What right has the boat club to underAke to send a repre- sentative undergraduate crew to America?’’ Any crew selected by the boat club from among its own members may represent the club, but certamly not the univer- sity. Those acquainted with public opinion on aquatic matters in this city and the university will expect to tind the representative character of a boat club crew vehemently dented. REPRESENTATIVE CREWS REQUIRED. Mr, Rees told me that the rock on which the negotia- tions with Cambridge split was precisely this point of the representative quality of the crew. ‘He was willing to concede almost everything else to the Englishm but he insisted that the crew should be generally recog- nized as representative. Most properly he was re- solved that, if beaten, their friends should not-be able. to disclaim them as oursmen fairly representing Cam- bridge. Now, here, this same rock begins to appear. Even some of tho newspapers deny the right of the boat club to pick a representative crew; that is, one authorized to represent the collective oarsmen of the university, A@ it stood, Mr. Rees’ arrangement, if carried out, would have been most fair to the Dublin University. This crew of Mr. Leshe’s chotce, all boat club men, would have weil represented the graduates. Mr. Barrington’s crew, who are no members of the rowing club, are excell Lives of the graduates. Of course not said with any security until after the Leshe's opponents. 1 may be permitted to correct some misinf:rmation | to Mr. Rees, about Mr. Charles H. Barrington. his centieman rowed at Henley only two years ago as stroke of the boat club crew. He graduated in Decem- ber, 1874. [tas not quite accurate, theretore, to say that the ‘‘elder Barrington has had bo connection with the university for four or five years.”’ rules of the cub—and in: club, tobe held next Saturday. KOWING AT HARLEM. A rowing event thatatiracted considerable attention and awakened no little interest occurred on the Harlem River yesterday afternoon, . The contestants were James Pilkington, of the Seawanhaka Boat Club ot Greenpoint, L. 1., and John Hatten, of the Friendship Boat Club of this city. The prize for which the men rowed was a handsome goid medal, presented by the friends of both parties. It consisted of a scull and oars, around which was a-neat wreath of oxidized gold and silver, all pendant from a cross bar of gold. On the reverse side was the inatription:—‘‘Won by —, Hariem River, June 5, 1876.’’ The blank to be filled out with the winner's name. ‘The start was set down for three o’clock, but long before that hour a large crowd assembled about the Fourth Avenue Railroad bridge, and on both bauks of the river for some distance up, and wheu tho time finally arrived for sending the men off fully i,800 peo: ple were present, trim, bat Pilkington’s form was particularly fine. The betting be(ore the race began was brisk, Hatten at one time being a warm favorite. in less than three min- utes alter the start, however, those who had staked their money on’ the representative of the Friendship Ulub endeavored by every ineans to hedge, he word “Go’? wus given at 2b. 57m., Pilkington getting much the best of the send-oi. The tide was now on the ebb, but was not running very strong. Pil Kington pulled a marvelously strong, steady stroke, but Hatten was nervous and jerky in bis style, ‘This was 80 apparent that before the men bad puiled their thirty foot shelis half a mile it was obvious to every one that the Seawanhaka ropresentative must win, The course was from the railroad bridge at Fourth avenue to the second dock above Macomb’s Dam Bridgo and back— distance of three miles, scant. Pilkington palied at ny! leisure nearly the entire distance and upon three or four oecasions ceased rowing cntir At the finish be came in a winner by four lengths, the time con- sunred being 29 minutes. THE MANLY ART (?). Over 2,000 persons witnessed the sparring exhibition at the Brooklyn Rink last evening The tirst couple to show within the roped gnclosure im the centre of the hall were Seddons’ Mouse and Jimmy Kelley, the vet- eran Willian Tovee officiating as master of ceremo- nies, Their ratthng set-to was loudly applauded, Billy Madden and Patsy Hogan then sparred and ther bout was followed by one between Warwick Ed- wards apd Professor MeUlellan, Then came the event of the evening, the glove fight be tween Steve Taylor and Billy Edwards, The former was seconded by Jimmy Kelley, and the Jatter by his brother, Warwick Edwards. Harry Hill was nounced that the contest would last * ingiien sparring rules; the rounds to be three minutes in Jeugth, with ene minate time, and the party securing the greatest number of clean hits and showing the ost points of proticiency in ‘the manly art,’ to be deciared the victor, ‘Tbe men were dressed im full ring costume and be tage in good conditioa, Both are so weil known that it is needless to describe their ap- pearance or capabilities. For the first eight or ten rounds Edwards seemed to plant his blows where be pieased, relying upon bis cat-like agility to avoid the return, He did ail the leading off, Taylor seeming to bo content to oveupy the centre of the ring and depend upon countering.

A MATCH BETWEEN BOGARDUS AND TALBOT— BOGARDUS THR WINNER-—THB 6CORE STOOD SEVENTY-SIX TO SIXTY-EIGHT—S8OME SPLEN- DID SHOOTING. Puapetenta, June 6, 1876. The pigeon shooting match between Captain A. H. Bogardus, champion of the world, and Dr. Talbot, of England, took place this afternoon at the Old Lamb Tavern, near Philadelphia. The number of spectators | Present was comparatively few, owing to an ulter luck, of management on tke part of thoge in charge of the ground The crowd would not keep back from the marksmen, and several times inter- rupted the snooting. The contestants refusing to con- tinue shooting until the crowd could be urged back, Several birds were lost, owing to the spectators having crowded within the boundaries, so that the marksmen were afraid to shoot. By the terms of the match the 100 birds at which each man was to shoot were divided into three classes. The first 60 were shot single, from five ground traps, at 30 yards rise, 80 yards boundary, with 1. shot, under the English rules, permitting the use of both barrels ard allowing three minutes for the fall of each bird. The men pulled for each other and the | shooter did not know which trap was to be used until the bird was sown. At three o'clock the shooting began, the prelim! naries having been arranged without tho least diill- culty, Miles Johnson being chosen reteree. The weather was cool and ploagant, the sun being just sufllorentiy obscured duriug the greater portion of the matcn to render it casy to see the birds. Bogardus won the toss and Wok the first shot, He used bh barrels and wounded his bird, but it took reiuge in a tree a rod in front of the trap, and pot tailing at the end of three minutes was declared “No _ bird,” Talbot stepped to the mark and killed bis — bird neatly with one barrel, Bogardus killed his noxt three birds, the tast vy a particularly fine shot, the bird being a strong flyer, who sped away with the speed of the wind the instant it was relensed, Talbot killed his first six birds, he having tho luck to have good birds all the time, Bogardus missed bis fifth and killed his sixth and seventh, to compensate tor which he lost the next two by bad Inck, making a good shot at the tenth and bringing down his bird cleverly. accomplishing a difficult shot, At the end of the tirst ten Bogardus had missed four aed the English- man only one. When ball the birds had been shot at (twenty-live) the Englishman was sull three ahead, having missed but tour birds, while Bogardus had failed on seven, Mr. Talbot handied his giece very neatly, generally bringing down his bird with bis first barrel, but all through it must he confessed he had much easier birds, His pigeons almost invariably rose slowly toward him or flew off to the right or lett, presenting a broadside, Bogardus’ birds, on the contrary, were generally more awkward customers, Few ot the pigcons were strong or quick flyers, Many of thom relused to rise until a iad of small boys had pelted them with stones, Three of tho creatures were knocked over and killed by the stones without having risen at all.

FREE SWIMMING BATHS, Yesterday the free swimming bath at the foot of Fifth street, East River, was thrown open to the pub- lic, and it Is expected that another at the foot of West Eleventh street will be ready to-day. These baths are under the direction of the Department of Public Works, and have been so popular and of so much benefit to the people that it is contemplated to bave four more con- | structed by the middleo! July. Withovs doubt, from the manner in which the two above mentioned were patron- ized in former years, three or even ten more would not be too many to satisfy the wants of the city. The structure at the foot of Bast Fitth street is ninety feet long by sixty fect in width, 1* open at the top and bas seyret Private rooms, That at the foot of West Eleventh street.and which was towed up from tts winter querters yesterday, is of abcut the same edie dimen- sions, It would have been brought up before, but the Dock Commissioners, it is understood, did not reserve the right have this bab placed there when they last leased the dock, That dificnity bas, however, teen amieably settled.

At Fifth street, East or, two years a, the namber of visitors in Jay was over 132,000, Eight thousand male persons bathed there in one day that July, and 4,500 females the suc- ceoding day. Each person ‘is allowed twenty minutes in the water, five minutes to a and five minutes to dress; but when the crowd: Very pressing even this time is shortened, As many as four hondred men and boys were in the bath at one time last’sumimer, while long lines of other men and bors were patiently waiting their turn. It took a pamber of policemen to keep order, but order genor- ally prevailed, ‘esterday was ladies’ day at the Fifth street batl and at six o'clock about 600 females bad bathed there. On account of the great benellt to the health of the many ghousands that fill the thickly populated por- tio ee itis to be hoped that the Department ot Pablic Works will make no delay in providing as | many more baths as possibie, LACROSSE. . THE IROQUOIS AND CANADIAN TEAMS IN GLAS- GOW—GREAT CROWDS TO WITNESS THE GAME—BRILLIANT FLAYING—THE INDIANS AND THE CALEDONIAN CRICKET CLUB. * . Giascow, Muy 20, 1876. The quiet, easy-going Scotch nature became thor- oughly excited this afternoun. The game of lacrosse has taken the citizens of Glasgow by storm. To-day over 7,000 p:rsons paid gate money to witness the game, and half as many more watched the sport from commanding positions outside, The result was one of the most sp'rited contests ever witnessed in the way of sport. The weather continued favorable, and the sun was not too warm for comfort. Since sending my last night’s letter I have had sev- eral interviews with the Iroquois, and, although they are in different costume fromm that in which they are deseribed in “The Last of the Mohicans,” | I believe them to be thoroughly acquainted with the methods of ecalp-raising employed to such startling effect by their ancestors of romance. There is an ingenuity displayed in spelling and writing their names which shows them to be masters of pho- | Rography, which has found so many advocates sinco | the days of ‘spelling bees.” With somo difficulty I succeeded in getting the ‘men of the forest” either to spell or write their names, and here they aro:— Tier Karoniare...... +++,thas Blue Spotted AtonSa Tekancano8ibeu alias Hickory Wood Split Shasatis Anasotako. alias Pick the Feather Shasatis Aientonni ulia8 Hole in the Sky Sisne ‘Taiennontii. alias Flying Name Atonsa Teronkoda. alias The Loon Sishe O: nor uliag Deer House Saksarii Tontariiakon, allas Crossing the River Tier Skanenrati... lias Outside the Multitude Rasar Kanentakeron alias Seattered Bran@hes Kor Kanentakeron........ -ahas Sprace Branches Saksarii Shakosenuakete. - thas Grout Arm Alon8a Ton8nnata, alias Wild Wind THE GAME was called at the appointed hour, ani a series of seven | innings was played. The first goal was won for the Canadians within five minutes by one of those sudden and unexpected pieces of good fortune that win often- times against the most expert playing. Nothing could have been finer than the “passing” of the Canadians, who, again and again, in the face of a foe not easily bailled, passed the bali from one end of the field to the | other, and that without it once being missed by the player to whom it was thrown. The field was, there- fore, divided off into a struggling mass at each end, with only twoor three players in the centre, whg, it may be remarked, had nothing to do, THE SECOND INNING, After about three minutes of rest the second inning began. In this the play of the Iroquois came out to greater advantage than had been previously eeen in the preceding day, Evidently determined that their Opponents should not get the saine advantage over them that they had in the preceding struggle, the red- skins played with unexampled determination. Their running, dodging and catlike suppleness were simply admirable, The liveliest enthusiasm was manitested by the onlookers, who closely followed the movements of the gamo and gave frequent expression to their teel- ings of approval in cries of “Well played!” ““Bravol”? “Big Indian!” This inning was one of the longest and best contested ot the day, and resulted im a’ well earned goal for the Iroquois. THK THIRD AND FOURTH innings were won by the same side, The captain of the dark side, Karoniare, displayed much excitement in both games, Throughout he evinced au energy in the direction of his team which betokened the fact that he had determined to win. Whenever his men made a play espeerally brilliant he would leap into the air balf his own height, and utter a yell which started new and heretofore unknown echoes in the glen of classic Kel- vin’s stream, He smoked only occasionally, but made the same unmistakable si¢nais with his tomabawk-pipe that I referrod to in my letter of last night, AFTER KOMANCK. Tasked him at his hotel, atter his return from tho game, what bad excited him ¢o during the day— whether it was the desire for success or not? “No,” he said, with a peculiar smile, ‘Canadians more good as my boys, They (his players) young, weak, no breath. What make me happy, much peo: Se a money I see our good tather, Dr. Beers, have.” “Reatity.”” To dispel the romance oi this speech before it takes deep root inthe minds of any of my young readers, fresu from the pastures green of “hair-raising literature’ of the weekly journals, | may aay that the worthy captain of the Iroquois wlks Engiish quite woll when he chooses, that the slowness with which he speaks to strangers and those outside the lines (as I was) is ascribable to tie difficulty which he finds in talking the Indian-English of - ed Bunt- line.”’ It is, of course, quite essential that he shoula talk badly, but he evidently finds it « bore, THE LAST THREE GOALS of the series of seven were won byghe Canadians tn rapid succession. Gradually it was notioed that the activity of Captain Karoniare relaxed, and tinally he retired to a seat and allowed his men to finish as they Pleased, IROQUOIS VS. CALEDONIANS, The redsktus were then given their revenge. A team of the ledonian Cricket Club was matched against them. From the first, as it certain of victory, the Lroquois played with renewed vigor, [t was soon apparent that the simplicity of the game was jar mure imaginary thao real. The Canadians were, in many instances, better runners than their opponents and certainly less fatigued than the Indians were alter thre long hours of hard playing, The difficuities of using the crosse only came out to cflect in“this match. The Scotchmen tore up the ground, fell over their own sticks and missed the ball when it was thrown directly into their bats, In marked contrast was the ease and unconscious grace of the redskins, who inaulged tn ali their cunning tricks with the utmost freedom trom interference from their zealous but unpractised op- ponenta The Iroquois won easily. FUTURE VISITS. From here the visiting teams go to Edinburgh, where they play on the 23d and 24th; then to Neweastle-on- Tyne, Where they remain the 25th and 26th. Sheifield will enjoy their sport on the 29th and 30th, after whic they come to London in time to see the Derby. The resime play in London on June 3,5 and 6, and the roturn to Canada, despite the fact of numerous tuvita- tions to play elsewhere, is fixed for the last week in June. Their trip has been a complete success thus far, THE PRIVATE COACHMEN. FURTHER DISCLOSURS REGARDING THEIR DIs- HONEST PRACTICES. A fow weeks since some revelations of s very dam- aging charactor in relation to the dishonest practices of that very large class of servants known as private coachmen were published in the Hkranp, These rever Jations had the effect of making some of those coach- men a fittle more careful in their dealings with their employers and with the livery stable keepers who, until the publication of the Hkranp article, were com- pletely under the thumbs of the coachmen. Thore is a large body of these men in New York city, and as they have a private association which controls its members individually thero is no possibility for livery stuble proprietors tocombat them in open fight, Should they do so, or should any individual livery man attempt it, he would be certain to lose the custom of those coach- men who have the care of horses for their masters, A nomber of private gentlemen who have couchmen and keep horses and carriages decided after having read the Hera. article to took into the figures of the bills sent them from livery stables, horseshoers, saddlers and feed stores. Having found the price of outs and feed by the HERALD statement they, in a num- ber of cases, have told the coachmen that they must not buy feed at such high prices, nor should the same horseshoer shoe that horse again at such high prices had been previously charged on the bills The ques tion of the mending of harness bas also been looked into, and the fact being weil known that harnessmak- ers are constantly in the habit of receiving from coach. men gets of barvess which have been wantonly injured requires some expianation, In many insunces the coachman wii] break the harness or injure it in order to divide with the harnessmaker—who 18 forced to look on at the fraud in spe of — bimself—titty per cont of tho bill, It ts also com with the coachman to braise, scratch or the panels of a handsome coach a it sent in this condition to the carriage manulacturet or the wheelwright or carriage painter to be put in order All this is @xpensite, and bills aecumulste withont the knowledge of the owner of the property, who lives iu bis brown stone front mansion, of the swindle that is being perpetrated on bim until the vill comes in and he has to foot it, Always the coachman will claim his pound of flesh, and yet he bas lately sven it up reluctantly enough, because the Henaty ey awakened (he master to a proper sense of his own tnteresta, A brash for tie use of a stable, which has cost as high as $5 or $6, 18 now sold for mach less, and since the HenaLp exposures of the coachmen’s frauds will not be worn out, nor will tt be renewed so often by the acquisitive coachman. Publicity is by far the most powertal remedy tor frands of this nature, and private gentiomen may depend upon it that if they examine their bills regulariy, and ask the deal ers to call tor the money tn person, they will uot be cheated so ofter There is one more grievous offence than all others, and whieh, if true, needs a very sea in travelling throughout this city and looking for information as to the peculations of rivate coachmen, Was informed that some of the more ardened of this class were used as vehicles by which counterfeit money was disseminated and given to deal- ers when coachmen had bills to pay in the name of their employers, Ot course no livery stable keeper who had not the right infor. mation would hke to doubt the genuinoness of money paid to him by the coachman of some prominent citizen whose word 18 always Ceeognized Lo be as good as his bond, Bat in this way, 1 is said, large sums of cou vel money have been placed on the mark ‘the last man who receives the money in good faith dependirtg on the vood faith of the giver of the money. There are hundreds of honest private coachmen who would seorn association or acquaintance with thone Dluck sheep, but as a gener protect their emp o; Lion or secret society plave, power or membersinp. Atall events it is time that ull dills handed 1p to employers should be carefuliy examined, and the Henatp bas already done wonders ja the matter by tts tunely warning and radical ex- posure. To the employers is left the rest. MINISTERS’ CONFERENCES, THE METHODISTS GIVING ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE POLICE BOARD IN ENFORCING THE SUN- DAY LAW. The Methodist ministers held a devotional mee! | yesterday, ana presented reports on the temper- | ance sentiment in their churches. A week ago they appointed a committee to wait upon the Police Com- missioners of this city and upon the authorities of Brooklyn to express the sympathy of the’ Methodist ministers of both cities with the efforts of those offi. | cialg named to enforce the Sabbath law against the sale | of liquor. The committee had done their duty in this | city, but in Brooklyn, where the Temperance Brother- | hood of Christian Churches exists and employs | agents who prosecute violators of the law, it was not deemed necessary to compliment the city officials. The temperance question and the Sunday | law were brought before the congregations of Second | Street, Seventh street, Twenty-seventh street, Thirty- seventh street, Sixty-first street, Seventy-sixth street, Eleventh street, Duane street, Washington square, Central, Eighteenth street, Free Tabernacle, Thirty- Hith street, Forty-third street, Forty-fourth street, St, John’s, Lexington avenue, One Hundred and Twenty- Aith street, Harlem, churches of New York; First church of Long Island City, West Brighton, 8 L; North Filth street and Nostrand avenue Methodist Episcopal churcnes, Brooklyn; and these churches oa Sunday evening unanimously indorsed the action of the Police Commissioners in enforcing the Sunday law. The following resctutions, adoptea by the Forty- third street Methodist Eprcopal church, Rev, W. H. Mickles, pasior, will give the spirit and purport of the formal expression of many of those congregations :— SUSTAINING THY MUNDAY LAW, Whereas the civil statute prohibits the ing bew 0 on Sunday; and, Vherems 000 dram shops of this city con- tinually, and with impunity, ~iolate said taw; and, whe the intdel and liquor interests are combined to intimidate the Polico Commissioners in the execution of sad law; theretore, Resoived, That we cousider the s'atute in question rightoo 1 beneficent {a its results.

There is a slight division of opinion as to the proper time, and 8 favor its postponoment until the fall, while others want to hold it wituin a few days, The committee are to report next Monday morning, Rey, C. 88 thought there should be aa KXPRESSION OF METHODIST OPINION en masse iu favor of the Polics Commissioners and against the Excise Board, and it should be known that the latter are indictavle under the laws for the non- performance of their davies. Mr. Goss’ committee Was continued and directed to dratt resolutions which should express the opintons of yesterday’s meeting and to place the sano in the hands of the proper autborities, The Rev. A.

Dr. Curry, late editor of the Christign Advocate, was invjted to address the meeting next Monday on the doifs ot the General Conforence which closed at Baltimore. The Doctor is supposed to be familiar with the inside workings of that body, and, ashe has not spared with his pen its predecessors in the past, he Mill probably speak of ft just as freely next week as he has written about others. j . The Buptist ministers discussed the immortality of the soul and the Presbyterian ministers neld their regular monthly meeting, and talked over matters o1 interest connected with the late Assembly. | COLORED PREACHERS IN COUNCIL, pastor at Mount Vernon, y | The African Methodist | Jersey resumed its labors yesterday.
