INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE AND HISTORY OF THE YACHT, At about half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning a ‘vessel with a black bull and floating a couple of flags unfamiliar In these waters rounded Governor's Island and came sailing across the bay to an anchorage off Vanderbilt’ Landing. The biue British ensign, with a crown in the field, which she carried at her stern, and the triangular burgee of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club streaming from her | foremast, at ouce marked her out to sightseers afloat and on shore as the long expected Countess of Dufferin. At that early hour very few yachts were cruising about, | and only an occasional coaster or pilot boat dropping down the bay recogaized and saluted the stranger, AS she came abreast the house of the New York Yacht | Club, however, the vessels lying to nearby fired their guns and dipped their colors, abd when tho flag of the | Royal Canadian Yacht Club was ran up the staf | on a the club house Vanderbilt Landing echoed with the arge of cannon, To these salutes the Countess of Dufferia replied by firing her gum and dipping the blue | ensign, and when she had come to anchor a boat was | lowered to carry the gentlemen abourd her to the club house, where a committee of the members were awaiting them. After some little time spent in the hango of courtesies. the party _ started for New York, and on their arrival were taken to the New York Yacht Club Honse, at Madison avenue and Twenty-seventh street. Meantime a Heratp reporter went aboard the Countess of Duf- ferin and scrutinized the stanch, plain and somewhat | ungamly looking craft which, in spite of the unpleasant weather she has passed through, has a smart appear- ance, indicative of good management, and scems built for hard work rather than for pleasure. The | peculiarity in ber which first strikes an eyo familiar with =the shape of Now York yachts consists in her great breadth ot beam abalt the mainmust. Apart from that, she differs in only wfew points from most vessels of her size and kind. Her dimensions have been already published in the Heraxp, with the exception of additional measure- | ments according to the ioyal Mersey Yacht Club, which make her out to be ext 200 tons. Her hull is painted black, and wherever the inside is painted white tas been the color used. Altogether she scems a vessel likely to do good work. rything has been inade to sub- serve hor availability a8 a sailer, any kind of encum brance that could interfere with her mavageiment has been avoided and all attempts at decorstion or fancilul | fitting have been eschewed. She is a plain, rough ves- scl, adapted for any kind of weather and for any kind of work and is without ornamentation, above or beiow, that would indicate her being ‘used for sport alone. At ber foremast the Countess of Dut ferin carries tho Royal Canadian Yacht Club burgec, which isa triangular blue flag divided by a white St. George cross, the upper angie enclosing a crown, the lower a beaver. Atthe mainmast hangs the burgee of the vice commodore—a white flag with acrown in the centre. The Canadian yacht is now lying off the New York Yacht Ciub house at Staten Island, and she will remain at hor anchorage until some litle — repairs are made and her fore and matnsuil reroped. As the Madeleine, with which she is to sail for the Queen’s Cup, 18 now’ off on a ten days’ cruise, the Countess of Dufferin will await her return in the bay or perhaps join in the annual cruise of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, to which an iuvitation hus been tendered her. ‘The Courtess of Dufferin fs the fruit of a regatta which was sailed last falion tho lakes and her history is necessarily very brief. It appears that for some time past races have been annually sailed on Lakes Ontario, Huron and Erie for the champion cup ot the lakes, This cup has all along been heid by American yachts from Detroit aud the late cities, und the Canadians naturally exerted themselves of late to bear off the prize. Last fall the Goodwin Cup was won from the Cora by the Annio Cuthbert at the Put-in-Bay regatta, The success of this latter vessel inspired her owner, Captain Alexander Cuthbert, with the Idea of building a Canadian yacht to compete with some of the more pretentious American sailers, and in furtherance of his purpose he built the Countess of Dufferin. Her keel was laid on the 15th of February, and work on her was caried on rapidly; but Mr. Cuthbert, realizing that the enterprise was one beyond bis means, solicited the co-operation of shareholders. In thie way Vice Co: modore Gifford was brought into partial owner- ship. He encouraged Cutubert in his inten- | tions, disposed by bis personal exertions of a considerable amount of the stock, aod became himself the heaviest shareholder. At present he rep- resents the stockholders, and has, consequently, the largest interest in the venture. Captain Cuthbert was thus enabied to complete the yacht, and at the end of May she was cruising about Lake Ontario, Of course no fair estimate can be formed of her sailing capacity, as it has not yet been put to a competitive test; but it is understood that she 1s capable of making good time and bearing as much bad weather as is possible for crafts of her size aud build. From several of ber passengers with whom he con- versed the reporter was made acquainted with the principal meidents of the passage. From the time of her departure from the lakes till tne date of her arrival | in New York she was constantly encountering by turns gales and calms, heavy fogs and rough seas, and in this way the voyage was considerably lengthened. The stanch way in which the Canadian yacht stood up under heavy winds on the passage proves her to be very seaworthy. One of the passengers told the follow- ing story of the voyage:—"We sailed for Quebec and Here the Port Warden and the underwriters af the isurance com panies came aboard and tne mi: sale, Oa tho trip ft bad ‘buckled’ very much, and on examination a. punk knot was dis- covered about eight feet above the deck which mght cause the mast to snap in a gale, ‘and so it had to be taken out and the present spar was patio. This last 1s almost as heavy as that of a man- of-war, but it 1s still regarded as too light. On June 28, at 9:30 A. M., we lett Quebec, and asa faveraple | breeze was blowing we made goud headway down the St. Lawrence. At the towns wlong the banks whieh news oi our departure numbers of the inhabitants uted ui we passed, and after a pleasant wo reached Father Foint at 7:30 next evening, We had mado 140 miles in good time, and were con- | gratulating ourselves oa the prospect of a speedy voy- age, when suddenly the wind fell and we lay upon the water for a Whole day ina dead calm, On the morning of the 30th a breeze sprang up, Which increased until it blew a beavy gale. We were standing along the south shore when the gale strack us, and were keeping up betore it, when the canvas all ol a sudden came rat- ting down on deck and @ lot of hoops aud ropes were seatiered about, The cause of this hubbub was found to be the loosening of the hook of the upper block of the main halyards, which was carried away in the gale, as also was @ quantity of the gear, Phis compelled us to ran ior Pout Demonts, on the north We remained there wt anchor all day, with a heavy sea roling around us In the morning we left our anchorage and passed ihe mouth of the Made- leme River at tive TP. M., reaching Cape Kosier at twenty minates past sx next morving. On the 4th of July we sighted the eastendof Prince Edward Island, and at eight P. M. we entered the Gutof Canso, Here | we met several American fishing sch ers. The event which Was being ceiebrated at home scemed to be well remembered by these poor scamen and to receive from | them a tribute, humble, periaps, but certainly We exchanged salutes with three vesse passing through the Gut, we ancbore ior the night. After taking on board some fresh pro- Vistous we left Canso at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock A. M. on July 5, sighted Little Canso light at 1 iuinutes of two o'clock P. at., and made good way betore a light breeze until July 6, when, as we were running between Little Canso and White Island, « storm arose, The wind blew bard and tue sea roiled heavily, but we kept our course under close rected can- vass, ind made sach Way as We could in so strong a ale, Atlast a heavy sea washed away the whiskers, 1d then, alter t ho jib aboard, the yacht was placed under easy canvas to. Next day we sighted land aud stood along the shore of Nova Scotia, close hauied and with a light breeze vie We were aking fair headway, too, but the bard usage we had recetved in the storm was felt severely, and it was thought prudent to pus avout and’ 'make for Haltax.

COMPULSORY POSTPONEMENT OWING TO ROUGHT WATER—THE LACES TO-DAY--HOW CORNELL AND COLUMBIA SHOW FOR FIRST PLACE, Sanatoca, July 18, 1876, The morning broke with a cloudless sky, and the flag on theGrand Union was drooping so listlessiy that every one was talking of what a capital day had come for the racing. Kveu ull eight o’clock the breeze was hardiy felt in town, but by nine it had grown at the lake until it was one sea of white caps, andthe wind driving nearly straight down the course made all out- Tigger racing manifestly out of the question, De- spatches were at once forwarded to all the Saratoga Hotels announcing that there would be no racing before twelve, and Jater that the single’ scnil event would stand over until four o'clock, the Freshman race till five. Meanwhile the portion of the crowd who bad maie an early start were coming down by hundreds, anda continuous stream of vehicles, over the entire four miles {rom Saratoga to Moon’s and ‘ou to the grand stand, made the well watered road look as it used to last year and the your before. Now and then there would come a brief lull, and all grew hopeful and scemed in no hurry to get back to town, The Argonanta four, from their boat house in the compara. tively sheltered cove, thought they might venture out in their shell, but only managed to crecp timid!y across the mouth of Fish Creek, Excellent rough water oars- men as they are, a strong Bardon glass showed that the lake far up was one sheet of white caps, while the word down from Cornetl’s quarters at Snake Hill was to the elect that no shell could live. AT NOON IT WAS NO BETTER, nor at three o'clock, Butnow the wind got around more to the northward, threatening clouds gathered, and for the first time Yo-day the white caps disap- peared. The word was telegraphed to Saratoga that the racing would commence at half past five, and hun- dreds of carriages were again under way. But tive minutes atter this the water, which had dropped to an almost dead calm, was again white with foam tor miles, anda sharp, angry squall pat an end to all thought of racing to-day, Oi course, none of the crews did any work to-day, and there are no changes to report, no sickness, no felons or other rowing annoyances. ‘Tho | interest In the morrow’s contest seems only wheticd hy the delay. SPECULATING ON THE CHANCES OF VICTORY. “Which can win, Columbia or Corneil?” 1s the ab- sorbing topic, and the reason why we think the latter can ts because it does not get ragged so early in the work ug Columbia, has been more carefully coached, 1s less inclined to shorien its stroke when driven, and claims. to have # bettor crew than last year, while Columbia has not improved go fast as good coaching would havo made ber, and Cornell often beating her lust year’s practice tine m the work on the Ithaca water. Moreover, her confidence, which she tries in yain to conceal, 18 based on her accurate knowledge of all her rivals’ cflorts here and of how her own compare with them, Next to these two the popular crew here is Union, If she does not, like most new crews, over row and demoralize in the first half of the work, she may be third, but her companion in the next lane 1s Princeton, and if she overdoes herself to beat Harvard, who can ‘probably beat her neighbor Wesleyan, may happen in third. Good jndgment will avail’ both Union and Harvard much on the inorrow; and, while Union can get the place, Harvard may do £0. Prince- ton ts indignant at beimg consigned to fitth or sixth but it is hard to think the verdict incorrect, mainly, not because she caynot row, but because she cannot “stay.” Ifher form and pluck put ber dith, 1b will be onl#what we expect, On the otner hand, if there is a surprise in store for to-morrow it is that she may | strike up to third; but the Wesleyan, from lack of beef | amidships, seems likeliest to be last, und another sur- prise may be that Harvard will wresule with her tor thts honor. A RUMOR has gone about here to-duy that the Harvard Freshmen | can beat the upiversity crew, and had their race come | off to-day and they won they might be found rowing instead of the university crew on the morrow. But this ts not likely, aud, now that both races are looked for \o-morrow morning, cannot well be. If the water proves smooth in the morning there will be a series of interest‘ng and hard fought races to describe.

DR. TALBOT FoR $500— THE FORMER THE WINNER. Captain Bogardus, of Eikbart, Ill., and Dr. Talbot, of | New York, again met in a pigeon shvoting contest, at Deerfoot Park, yesterday afternoon. This mecting grew out of the match of Friday last at the same place, when the Captain killed 43 out of 50 at 30 yards rise, beating the Doctor by 3 birds They were then shooting on even terms; but the Doctor proposed a renewal of the race it the Captain would allow him two yards. This the latter acceded to, and so the conditions of yesterday’s event were 50 birds cach, 5 traps, 11; oz. shot, 80 yards boundary and both barrels allowed, with Bogardus at 30 yards riso and Talbot at 2% yards. The heat was intense, but at times a pleasant breeze found its way to the Park, which was gratefully welcomed by the shooters and the spectators alike. Mr. Wingate, of the Long Island Shooting Club, was chosen referee. Many of the birds were remarkably fast, while (he average was very fair. Bogardus went first to the trap, and the champion knocked them over one alter the other untii he nad scored 21 straight, and in tis time used his second barrel but once, that being on the eighth bird, which required a> little extra attention, as he weut from the trap jike an arrow. Meauwhilo Dr. Talbot had grassea but sixteen, and was five behind his opponent Al this stage of the game. Bogardas hit his twenw second bird very liard and knocked it over, but being strong and large it got up after the Captain had left the | score and Was avoul crossing the back boundary, when the shooter jet go his second and killed him dead as a stone, It was given against Lim, however, by the ref- eree, upder the rules, as a shooter caunos leave the score between bis first and secoud barrels. The Cap- "s twenty-third went sttaight into the air, and he was brought down without difficulty, Mis twenty. fourth, asmail blue bird, left the trap jike a rocket, not stopped.” It was the only clean miss wus’ score, His twenty-filth, a driver, was well killed with ihe first, when out of that number he had scored twenty-three. Talvot killed his tweuty- second, twenty-thira and twenty-fourth, but missed his twenty fith, leaving bim still five birds the worst of it. Rest for fifteen minutes then occurred, when the shooting was resumed, It did not long contiuuc, how- aver, as after the tweoty-eighth bird had been soot at by cach, Bogardus securing the additional three and ‘Talbot missing his twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, the latter retired, owing to his right art be ag badly swoilen, the result of arecent mjury, The referee an- nounced Bogardus the winuer, the score standing :— Bogardus killed 26 out of 28, and Talbot 19 out of the same number. Hogardus subsequently gavo an exhibition of his skill in breaking glass balls, He shot at doubles and singles, and in 12m. 32. broke 100 out-of 128, SUMMARY, Deenroot Park, Neak Parkvitun, L.

[From the Cloveland Leader, July 17.4 Tho Custer Monument Fund in New York amounts already to nearly $3,000. Small associations to pro- mote the monumect enterprise are springing up io various quarters, and no coubt the required sum will bo raised. Mn Clark Mills, the sculptor, offer for $10,000 to model avd cast in bronzo gquestrian statue of General Custer, in the dress and long hair which be used to wear in 1865; as he used to look coming down upon an euemy, with his horse ai arun and his sabre poised for a blow. Here, at last, is @ subject for a real equestrian portrait, cue which, without distorting the truth, can be tuvested with tha spirit and sentiment which are such essential accec- sories of art. At the same time there appears in various newspa pers the usual thrifty suggestions by frugul correspond. ents, that instead of wasting money on a mouument to General Custer, Congress’ and the trends ot the dead General had better give it ta Mrs, Custer to live upon. Ordinarily — the is more or less sense in this kind talk, but happily it is noediess in the present inst Con- gress has given her a pension, a8 well as one to Gen- mother. The Ie of the sured for $20,000, which, and his wife's’ private means recoived from her father, will make ber comlortable. She has no children, and she is a tender, devoted wile, who would deem any money spent to perpetuate and honor the memory of ber dead busband far more precious than if given to herself, Thore is an ail bot universal senument throughout the country that the character of General Custer and the manner of his death de mand that his memory be honored by some- thing that will convey a meaning to posterity. ‘This ought to end ali questions of the proprieiy of the monument enterprise. Whether Mr. Clark Mulit is the best American sculptor toundertake the work ia a point to be discussed after the fund fas been raised, These pots, however, may bo considered settled, by common consent and fitn General Cu should have a monument; it should bo an cquesirian statue, and it should be cast from the bronze canbon captured from Lee's army by Custer’s division at Five Forks and Appomattox. THE HEAT. NINETY-FIVE IN THE SHADE AGAIN—SUN- STROKES AND MORTALITY, ‘The great beat still continues, and as a consequence the great mass of New Yorkers still complain. With the thermometer at ninety-five degrees in the shade at Yiree o'clock in the alternoon, as was the case yester- day, the backbone of the summer cannot yot be said to be broken. People must still be satisied—if anything can satisty them in such weather as this--with killing timo until the change comes. So long a wpell of such bot weather, it is said by old inhabitants, bas not visited New York within their memory. At no woree time could such an unwelcome visitation have come upon the city, A cabbage leaf in the hat‘s something ofa protection, and a daily plunge in the salt water at any of the city’s bathing piaces would help to lessen. the misery of the present exhausting weather. Fortus nately yesterday closed with a cool, refresbing shower, which hesitated long before it began to tall, ON THE RIVER FRONT. The sanitary conattion of affairs along the docks from the Battery to Grand street on the East River side is far from what it should be this hot weather. When the tide is low a very offensive smell pervades the neighborhood, and when it is fuil matters are not much improved. Decaying trnit and the putretying bodies of dead cats and dogs dritt along the piers, emit. ting foul gases to poison the air, A limRaup reporter who examined this section of the city yesterday found that there were many things to which the Health au- thorities could turn their attention with advantage to tho city’s health and greatly to the mprovemont or this locality in particular. By the working aud poorer ciasses the docks are made an evening breathing place. Mothers with children in their arms and work- men exhausted from the lavors of tho day strol! down to the piers in the evening, having no park nearer than the Batiery, to get the beveflt of whatever airs are passing. Unfortunately the weicome breezes come toa often Jaden with vile smeils that send the weary back Again to their heated apartments, Between South and Fulton ferries the odors were worst at piers 17 and 17 Old slip, too, was in a rather filthy state. Be- youd Fulton Ferry the same state of things was dis. covered. A dead dog was ed to pier 28. Other dead animals floated at the prer heads and in by the ng oil from the Hunter’ Point stench factories covered the water, adding one more to tbe varied stenches of the neighborhood. Yet, in spite of allthis filth, the: street arabs plunged inte tho water at a score of diflerent points along the route traversed. Scarcely a dozeu sieps above the northera side of the fence surrounding the ruins of Castle Gar. den acrowd of idle men and boys sat dangling their legs over the massive stone piers in course of coustruc- tion, At their very fect, forced by the tide into acom- pact surface on the water, lay, by actual count, a ball dozen dead and bloated dogs and cats, held securely in place by the surrounding driitwood. ’ The sua poured officer was the pension deal with iis beat directly on them and the breeze carried the uasty stench shoreward. This did not = seem to have mach effect upon the crowd of loungers, who occasionally added to the strength of the smell by dashing in # stone of two to stir the decaying bodies” Between piers 3 and 4 lay the body of a borse blistering im the sun. It was in the most offensive stage of decomposition, The above instances are the most aggravated that came te Notice, but at short intervals alovg the whole ling similar experience was encountered.
