The second day of the regular June trotting meoting at Fieetwood Park passed off satisfactorily, Though the attepdance was light, excellent sport was devel- oped. There were two events on the programme, the first being a purse of $600 for horses that never beat 2:38, and the second for horses of the 2:28 class. The former brought six of the cight entries to the score, these being © T. Backus’ sorrel velding Butcher Boy, John Marphy’sbrewn mare Katie Hagnes, James N. Chaodler’s roan mate Leo, Jerry Walker's biack geld- ing Whisper, M. H, Whipple’s chestnut mare Dolly Dot and J. De Camp's gray gelding Billy. In the first ‘and second pools sold the field brought $40, Whisper $15 and Leo $14. Then the “talent” got to work, when Butcher Boy was made the favorite, even agairat the field. He won the first heat, beating Dot under the wire three lengths in 2:39, Katie Hagh ird, Whisper fourth, Billy fitth and Leo sixth. Butcher Boy was made a greater favorite than ever just bofore the horses were walled for tho second, heat, but, aidea by tho injudicious manner in which he was handied, Dolly Dos won the heat in 2:36, beating Butcher Boy one lJongth, Katie Hughes third, Billy fourth, Whisper fifth and Leo last. The betting fraternity, who were deep fn the pool for Butcher Boy, did not like the appear- aace of things at this juncture, and they began to question the stories of his wonderful speed which had reached them, for even though the reports were well authenticated, they “looked the animal over,'’ and = pronounced him far from being a@ horse = thi would make many friends at firs, sight’ So tho “‘talent” began to hedge, and Dolly Dot sold even up against the field, Butcher Boy was steadier in the third heat t! preceding it, and ne rattled home the win! length, though Dolly Dot made a magnificont effort on the homestretch to catch him, but the Boy had plenty im bund, going wader the Wire in 2:36. Billy was third in this heat, Katie Hughes fourth, and the flag fell in Le face. Dot, realiy the ouly opponent worthy of mention that Butcher Boy bad to iear, came upon the forthe foarth heat very tired, and it w: that she bad ceased to be dange one ath, in 2:37%. Dot was second, Katie Hughes third Billy fourth. Second and third money was awarded in the order of the Anish in this heat, THE 2:23 Rack. The 2:28 class. parse $600, brought the four entries tothe score, These were John Murphy's brown mare Lady Dablam, J. W, Crawiord’s roan Gas Basil Duke, M. H. Whippie’s bay mare Lady J. Barden’s gray mare Bessie. Basil Du favorite before the first heat; Lady an idently noi going for the beat, Basil was still the tavorite, bring- ing $70, Lady White $40 and the field $10 Bessie took the lead at the work for the second heat, and maintained it until going “up the bill,’’ when Lady White, who bad left her feet near the half-mile poie and fallen back last, ‘came with a rush,” and turning into the streich went to the fromt and passed under the wire winner of the heat by one length, in 2:83. Bessie was second 1 Duke thirdand Dahiam « bad fourth, White was now & great favorite. Sue went away with the beat of it, and, never being neaded, captured the third feat by one lengtt, in 2:33, the fastest of the race, Basil Duke showed to much ad- vantage in this boyd and, he not broken om the ee might have given Whipple, the owner of Lavy White, mach troab: The word for the fourth heat was given vo abou the worst sond-of ever seen on this track.

Uj the fourth attempt Lady White eae came up onan aod Spian, seeing her dancing in the air, puiled Duke almost to a standstill dircetly under the juages’ es.

THE FIFTH REGIMENT'S WAY OF SOLDIERING— A RIOTOUS DAY AT THE RANGE. It may be safely predicted that Creedmoor is to be- come the scene of grave trouble some day in the near future if some ot the regiments of the National Guard, whose members go out there tor rifle practice, are not subjected to more rigid disciple than has been the rule oflate, Yesterday there was something of an uproar on the range during the visit of the First bri- gade ip consequence of the disorderly behavior of the members of the Fifth regiment. The detach- ment from this command numbered 154 men, but sven this moderately sized representation created enough trouble to give occupation to quite a number of their comrades in arms for the greator portion of the day. By diligently applying themselves to what they coo- ce.ved to be the duties of the hour a majority of them succeeded in getting boistcrously drunk shortly after their arrival. Among the number was Captain Max Ebbeler, the membors of whose company were notably troublesome, Tho captain bad evidently determined to ke a day of it,’ for ho arrived well provided, and early 1) the day set his men the example so accur- ately copied by them. He is a democratic disciplinanan too, and when one of his company complained of exces- sive guard duty, which in some measure lengthened out the time between drinks, Captain Max kindly took the musket from the man’s band, threw it on the grass and after thus abruptly reli¢ving him gave him per- the boys, This strange of Lieutenant Colonel officer of the day, ad ptain and alter- put off the ground by a squad of the Twelfth regimont men. The Captain's company vaturally sympathized with bim, and for a while a row was considered immi- pent Some of the men put cartridges in their pockets and tn their maudlin fury threatened to use them if subjected to y severe discipline. In consequence an inspect was ordered and the stolen ainmunit'on restored to the charge of the proper officers. Alter some of the belli had been marched off to the guard house the anger of those re- maining subsided, and the supply of drinks being ap- parently exhausted matters settied down io the tame- ness of oimery, exverience and practice was pro- ceeded with, The other regiments represented were the Twefth and Twenty-second, the former by ninety- one and the latter by ni -three men, At & shorter ranges the Twelfth fed sixty-six men, t! ‘Twenty-second ixty-five and the Fifth (with 154 men shooting) Bfty-three men, At the 300 and 400 yards’ ranges the Twelfth quainfied twenty-nine, the Twenty- second pinetecn andthe Fifth only three men, Fol- lowing aro the scores of those who qualified ATM RRGINENT, 300 400 Ga | vara. |r| varus, Mm! a 4544) 2055545) 26 44 3445] 21/5 245 5) 21) 42 343 5) 1915 343 4) 19) 38 445 4) 19/4 3 2 5 5! 19) 38 3235 4) 1714 6 4 6 2) 20} 37 2054 4) 15}4 25 5 5] 21) 36 Lieutenant He 45343) 10/3 442 2) 15) 34 Private Pules. 5 4 36 6} 21/0 4 2 4 2] 12) 33 Private Smith... 5s 4.5 4 4) 22]3 4.0.3.0} 10) 32 Private Sniffen 243.2 3] 14]4 43 4 3] 15) 32 Sergeant Clark 6 6 330 16/3 3 6 2 3) 16) 82 Captain Monroe.. 44454 ays ees 11) 32 Private Burle 23304 1219445 3 31 Private Cameron 3004 BI 121332 b 5 0 Sergeant Droge. . 4333 5) 18/4402 4) 30 Sergeant Waterbury...|4 23.5 4] 19/3 4 22 0} 30 Private Hutchinson...|3 3 23 5| 16)02 44 4 30 Private Jarrett........J0 43 3 3} 13/43 3 3 3 2 Sergeant Sondheim ..,/3 4 3 2 4) 16j2 40 4 3) £ Lieutenant Hart. 3423 4] 1642024 Private Ratjeneki. 23423) Mossad 8 PPivate Paimer, 4430 5) 16145300 28 Private Neville. 2403) 127)23344 3B 4043 3) 1413 4042) at 3 55 44] 2110 3 0 2 OF 27 5 5 23 3) 1813 500 0 26 44540) 17]40023 26 35 445] 21100004) 25 22340) nj22334) 25 'OKD REGIMENT. | 400 Ga Names | Fards. \n" Yards Cea {—-—_| —|— Captain Loomis 5 445 5 23/5 4 201 43 Corporal Brow! 34534) Wi24 18| 37 Private Bolto 5264 4) 201222 14] 34 Corporal Groat. ..,....|4 4 3 3 2] 160 5 4 4 5] 18] 36 4304 4) 15/3 05 & 5) 18) 33 i$ 8 03 5 14)3 4 5 2 5] 19] 33 3044 5] 160 3.36 4] 15) an Private Lutz . 05454 1805224) 13) 31 Private Wallac 54043/ 16/424 40) 14| 30 Sergeant Snedeke 32024! 1135344) 19) 30 Captain Horslall.......|82 43 4| 168040 4 13] 29 Let 0 333 3) 12/4 04 8 5) 16) 28 023.3.2/ tales 342 14) 3 5 338 4 18104802) 9) 27 Private Ricks. 25-3251 17150040) 9] 6 Private Warner. 30230] 8/35 43 2] 17) 25 Private Leclat jo 2420) 8130 5 6 4] 17] Private Goldsmith 4050 4] 15]2 22 2 4] 12] 2% “| 300 400 Gd Names.

They have plenty of money, commodious boat houses, direct encouragement from the college authorities, a prestige of a quarter of acentury’s growth and they never willingly remained in the Rowing Association of American Colleges, even though Harvard founded it, By rowing on the new plan their work so nearly resem- blos that of the English universities that it beconmes much easier to meet the latter in friendly matches, But what is to become of the many smaller colleges? Though lors favored in numbers and wealth it will never dotothink them at all inferior on the water, The Amherst agricultural crew, with Eldred, the present Arganauta stroke at its head, made this Very pinin in 1871 Amberst did the same in 1872, and Wesleyan was a good second out of eleven in 1873, and of nine in 1874; while Williams for a timo and Dart- mouth steadily rose fast. A plan suggested here seems to meet the case, Let all but Yale and Harvard unite im a four-oared race w.thout coxswains. All have already proved themselves equal to getting together sixes and providing the requisite outft of boats and other requiroments. But the expense of obtaining a four-oar and training four men are far leas than that of a six and her crew, while even a more important mat- + ter, four good men can very often be bad when six are out of the question. Allother amateurs also row only in fours, six-oared shells having been discarded here long ago, while they are almost unknown abroad. Time can then be compared with that made by the amateurs Dot students, and good rowing will not stand iu danger of deteriorating, as the drawing off of so many good crews would tend to makoit, Let such a four-oared race ‘then, open to ail colleges in New England, be rowed here hour before the meeting of the eighis, thus largely enhancing the attractivoness of the programme, in- creasing the number of spectators and giving all stu- dents a chance. WHICH 13 THE BRTTRER STROKE? ‘The difference between the two strokes here is very marked; so great, iu fact, that if either beats other badly it is a question whether the winning ove will not be promptly adopted by both sides hereafter, Both will be presented on Friday, if n8thing prevents, in a more forward state, probably, than ever before seen on our waters, Mr Cook may have one two men who bave prominent faults, but it can hardly be thata whole year’s careful work has not materially improved the rowing of at leas, Messrs. Kennedy, Kellogg and Wood. Nor can two, atleast, of the other four be poor oars, when such good and noticeably powerful ones as Messrs. Fowler and Chandler (both of whom are still available, and the former of whom has actuaily rowed in a upiversity race) have to yive way to them. Mr. Cook bas bad unprecedented experience in uni- versity racing, this being his Oftn appearance in the an_ nual struggle. Last yew he and several of his men did not look to be In good oundition when race day came, heaving quartered at a place where they were overrun both with visitors apd mvsquiloes, causing them to ap. pear worried and thin. But now they appear hearty and strong, report no annoyance from an old enemy in these pirts, and one still to be looked out for, which is laxative to strangers—the water—and though of almost exactly the weight of their rivals, and thateven better distributed; are aged two and five-cighths years older, a most desirable qualification, Whiie the Harvard work is more accurately done, showlog fewer (aults for that style of rowing, there are noticeabje improvements in the Yale boat, Mr. Cook himeelt bolds his head far better than last year, hw neck being very eroct in the Saturday row, while it ured todroop. Tho catch ia very clearly defined; In fact the difference between the two strokes is nowhere more marked, Harvard purposely disregarding any- thing like @ labored effort to catch the water very sharply. Nearly all the heads are better up and their weight is well thrown on. Individual faults are not hard to find, none being more prominent than the bow’s proneness to throw his elbows oat as he finishes, not 80 high, to be sare, as is constantly seen among the New York bontien off the Battery, but still not being chip- ped close and fast to the sides, as they ought tobe, Wile jan, Oxford's vow in the race with Harvard, did exactly the same (hing, but the trouble, at least for Harvard, in that instance was that he did ft with uncommon vigor on the fourth mile as well as on the first. Paddling up stream, perhaps not poling with their best care, Mr. Kennedy did far too much of It with bis arms, his body not getting on nearly 6o well as Mr. Cook's. . There was trequent meeting, also, among the forward meu, and the whole crew do not come so far back atthe end by several. inches as aoos Harvard This lawer they very likely recard as an advantage, holding with certainty good show of reason that the wily as it must upon the abdominal muscles in the endeavor to get forward promptly, must earlier wind the mano. The answer to 1 provably ts that especial attention bas been paid to these muscles and trained them till they have become equal to the strain. It is probable that the estimate im yesterday's letior of THR NCMEER OF STROKES whieh each will row in the race presents too great a disparity, Harvard at thirty-reven instead ef thirty- eight in the steady rowing, and one or two more in the spurting, and Yale at thirty five or thirty-five and a half instead of thirty-four, being nearer the mark. One thing made very evident last year was that Yaie, at thirty-three could not win im that three mile uncox- swained race, She has at last succeeded in makin, a race this time tar better jor herself. Inder Mt she only wins by a length or two the actual winging was done in the winter wo Dargaim wes made. With four of her old men, tor ears trained to a stroke and siyie opemly claimed to ve been copied from crews whone principal races are over more thas [Our miles, insiead of three, crew: oo, whieb invariably carry coxewains, she asked an prevatied on Harvard to row four miles instead of with @ coxswaip instead of without one, and in a when, as it tarns out, all can offer to meet (our of ‘the best men who ever sat ina Yale buat, and two ef the remaining four Ot to oust two otber goed ones, only one man who ever rowed in & univer. sity race, three more who were beaten in last yoar's Freshman race and four sew men.

Of the two here to-day there is little question that Yale looks Ot for the harder work. It needs no expert to detoct this, it is in every mouth. The Harvard is young, dashing. plucky. ‘yale looksimetired, more thoroughly developed and powerful. Both will'abjure avy dress above their waists save possibly the lightest turban or cap, and their trowxers come ouly to the knees. Of the three essentials for race-winning, skill, power and stay, if Harvard clearly excels in the first, so Yale is almost equally sure of the second. Not that the former have not improved since last year, They bave done excellent work, looking ai- rectly at the paris brought into piay; probably more hard work than was ever done by Harvard crew before. But the difficulty is Yaie had the start of her in paying more old and seasoved timber, and she has wisely made the most ot i, If Captain Cook can go ous of colle; he will have, beyond ail questio ry complete, then all tl colleges are largely in hi for taking the time and P to cross the ocean, pat himself under the best réand bring home so his countrymen the secrets of their art, and spend — fn carefully inculcating them. Now, as to the other ingredient, WHO CAN THE BRTTER STAY? Both are hopetul; indeed, Yale seems confident and Harvard scarcely less so. Besides, whatgver satisiac- tory proots the lormer may have in (his direction, ter scemingly superior power doubtiess largely unde her hopes. Une ground for the latter's Ireely expressed optnion—thi that her men, once last winter + ® stretch, over 8 brought into play in running than in rowing, as is the case, for istance, in nearly all good runners, ier, after all, is, can they stay at their pac very common thing to see racing men or horses so err in judgmont that they go the early part of the race ata gait at which it would be simply impossible for any Ove to last, and then drag over the last halt 60 slowly that wny ordinary goer could there pass them. Yale's an for years bas been not to force the pace at first, ut to row a waiting race. Should she do that this time, and Harvard have the best of it for the first mile or two, can she bold ber lead? She seems to think she can. But if sho could get a little of the power out ot her rivai’s boat she could more exsily make othors thimk $0 too. On the other hand, the matter of hor rival’s. having her at great’ disadvantage be- cause the former has more of her old crew is not so uncomfortadio for Harvard to con- template, from the fact that Inst spring so ap- propriate a story came from across the Atlantic, Oxiord bad 81x of her last year’s eight and that a win- ping eight. Cambridge had nearly ail new men. But notwithstanding this, public opinion, which three weeks betore the contest tuvored Oxford, swung around so completely that for days before the race Cambridge became the universal favorite and finally won with ease. OXX MISTAKE BOTH HAVE MADE here {# In not going over the course often enough and 80 getting the coxwains tamiliar with their work. Har- vard, to be sure, has been over it twice on time, but Yaie has not gone dowa since Friday morning, and Monday uow. Indeed, she bas not been in her t to-day and it is onc o'clock, Even were the wi ter as low and quietas in 1873 there would still be abu dant to learn tu render at least one daily trip over the entire four miles a necessity. But instead, the water is bigh, more so than. then by a foot or @ foot and « half While this makes shoals less dangerous, it may drop during the week and it is twell to kuow whore they are It so strengthens the usually sluggish carrent as to make itan element of decided importance, sufficient even to render it extremely questionabic whether the shorter, or western, course is, after all, the more d sirable, While in the lowér portion of tue course be- low the ferry, where the stream is broad, the water runs burdly halt w mile an hour. A stick thrown In from the turnpike bridge, which is near the end of the first mile, floated on Saturday about 125 teet in a minute. ‘this would be at the ot aearly a mile and a baif an hour; and as thoy will row ior over a third of an hour it will be seen that they cannot afford to overlook this very welcome auxihary, Indeed, if it wouid omy quicken up to turee or four miles in the hour, as does the tide on the Putney course, tome estimate could be: made of the comparative qualities of the ice of course heing ulwa: tditional three furlungs. The cban- ead of following the shorter side of the’ ‘river, throughout nearly the whole lirst two miles and a halt keeps well over to the east bank, iu places runuing almost close to it. About tho piers it even mai to form little eddies, tn one of which the stick in question did stick and whirled quite a while. Ignorance of these points, or not tuking all advantage of them, may work some keen aiter regret and may make it bard to keep off justly laid biame. In the crisis of tho struggle, just when the two boats are neck ana neck, aud the suspense is at its height, the knowing just where the channel! leaves mid river, aud promptly using that knowledge, may win the race, and the coxawain may be the one with whom the credit should lie. That knowledge these coxswalns in their brief three days’ experience here cannot certainly have tc ag and in the two practice days remuining—tor it is the habit not to do much on the day just before the race—ihey have plenty to do. ANOTHER MISTAKK, which has daily occurred thus fur, and which it will be equally hazardous W longer r peat, is that neither crew has once yei—ualess ale did the drat day she arrived—gone over the course at apythi g approaching racing pace. If. Professor Wheeler, of Yale, who has been agreed on as referee, starts the race as be ought to, precisely at that hour, they are weil nigh certain to catch prewy rough water either at one end of the track or at the other. Often for nearly the whole morning there wil! be bub litte wind, not enough to take the smooth sur- ft off the water over large portions of the river. But the gentle breeze coming about noon tres during the afternoon till 6 almost brisk, and, if there is much northing in it, pper two miles, if much southing the lower two, are olten rolied into white capped waves a foot high. While great, seaworthy boats like these t to turn away from waves a foot high, it will sti found a widely different matter driving them at racing pace over and through such waves, shipping one occasionally, getting hands and iegs soaking, and gailons of water travelling about in her hold, from rowing the same boat over quict, almost glassy water, The Argonautas showed the Atalantas how to row in rough water in jerry swashes of the last summer. The Atalantas, when they drove Columbia so hard the other day, showed that they bad fearned the lesson, But neither of these crows have probably ever rowed a rough-water race, and should Friday be breezy, bigh-feathering Harvard may win it, when two hours later might turn the tale. It is now five o'clock and neither crew has yet como up to go over the course. Again, avoiding the burden abd heat of the day, for no Yale eight has been in the water to-day, and they bad, of course, a whole day's Test yesterday, tov, and Harvard bas not been over the course yet, and, waiting till sundown, when the water 18 calto, works other barm. accustoming one’s seit to row hard daily at a fixed ho and then suddenly changing to atime two hours earher, especially when moal times ere not chauged correspondingly, works anything bat well. Gar oarsmen have been very willing to copy Oxiord. If they should try ber on this puint they would find she holds very clearly defined notions and lives up to them. Not only must she know the exect day on which the race is to be rowed and then does she in- sist, come what may, on rowing iton that day, but she ie scarcely less caretul as to the bour. “Annually our racing grows closer and correspondingly better, and the closer it gets the more narrowly these littie points should be watched.

THE ‘CONFISCATED IRISH GOLD. Yesterday the attention of the Sapreme Court, Judge Pratt, was occupied im the trial of a case reviving the days of Moffitt mansion magnificence and the mystical Irish Republic. The action was brought by Mr. John O'Mahoney, ex-President, first and last executive of the Republic, to recover $350,000 in gold from August Belmont. The money was tranem tted in 18¢5, through the Belmont Banking House, in Englend, to Johm O'Leary, the agent of the Fenians, in Dablin, Ireland, The money was to nave been used in the cause of Irish independence, but the British spies, become ing apprized of the shipment of the treasure, seized it on its arrival and cot the money. The plaintiff seeks to hold the defondant legally ponsible tor the loss of the money. Mr, O'stakony* applied to Mr. Belmont, upon'learning of the seizure of the “firsts” draft, to refund the money upon “seconds” and ‘thirds’? of the drafts; but the banker refused to do so, Yesterday, when the case was called jor trial in equity, Messrs. B. Doran Killiaa andG. & Talmage appeared as counsel for the piaintifl and Messrs, McFarland and Laroque for defendant, Mr. O'Mahony testified substantially to the circumstances ag cited. The money, he stated, was given to him on hig own propor person, to be applied as ho might think fit, The bills of exchange on Belmont were , pur- chased for him by his clerk, Michael ave anagh, He had no personal kaowledge that tbe drafts were stolen by the British governments John O'Leary waa his agont when the drafts were mado, but bis employment ‘as agent subsequently ceased; the draits were mado botween October and September, 1865; witness stated that when be made the demands for the return of the money at Belmont’s office he offered to pay at the same time any extra charges for costs of commissions, ith the conclusion of tho ex-President's testimony the case for the plaintiif rested, and Mr. MoFarian moved for a nonsuit, on the ground that the plaintit had atterly failed to make a case, Judge Pratt resery his decision. NOTES, CITY HALL PARK PAVEMENT. On the 10th of May a contract was closed between the Park Commissioners and Henry A. Guother for the repairing of the principal walks in and about the City Hall Park. Yesterday the contractor, with a large force of men and teams, began the work on the wall outside the street line on Chambers street, from Centre to Broadway. The contract calis tor the expenditure of $10,000 on the main walks, at the contract price of twenty cents per square vot. Out of six bids the con- tractor (Gunther), being the lowcst bidder, was the successiul man, Mr. Gunther states that he proposes to put down artificial stone walks made of Portland cement similar to that surrounding the new Pust Office, The walks will be in imitation of mosaig work, in variegated colors, and bo states that the work ‘will last twenty years, The heaviest part of tho con- tract will cover the outside line from Centre street, along Chambers to Broadway, and thence along the qast wide of Broadway to the main Broadway entranco to the park. The balance of the $10,000 covered by the con- tract will be expended on the interior lines of the pe walks. The time occupied in the repairing will likely cover &full month, Anew building of wood has been erected on the west side ofthe brown stone building in which the cement will be manutacturod, be of no better character than tbat pore Se Post Office, it will be little better than the “tee tice pavement” put down under Tweed’s régime, Post Office pavement is cracked and brokeu, and from gpes- ent appearance will have to be renewed within two years, MUNICIPAL NOTEs.
