THE BLEECKER REET RAILROAD. A decision was given yesterday by Judge J. F. Daly, in the matter of the application of Alexander R. Chisholm, to continue a temporary injunction restrain- ing tho Twenty-third Street Railroad Company from taking a lease of the insolvent Bleecker Street and Futton Fo Mr. Chisholm sues as a stock- holder of the Twenty-third Street company, on the | eround that assuming the leaso would embarrass the | company and depreciate the valne of Mis stock.

He holds that under the Act of 1839 the de.endants have a perfect right to accept the lease, and therefore dissolves the in- junction. MARRIED BUT NOT MATED.

He had scarcely done so when be mis one of the lockets, valued at $40, He made a rush to ran reund the counter, when both Wallace and his companion endeavored to escape.

Judge Dutly committed the prisoner in default of $2,000 bail tor rial PARENTAL NEGLECT AND CRUELTY. AN INFANT NEARLY STARVED. Yestorday morning Officer Hamilton, of the Twenty- | seventh precinct, was passing on his beat through Greonwich street, and, at the corner of Morris street, found a man quite drunk, with a) baby in bis arms, The infant, which is only ten months old, was almost destitute of clothing aud bore other evidence of cruel neglect. Its body was covered with sores and so eina- ciated that the littl bones protruded all over, Tho oilicer took the man and child to the station house ana subsequently before Justice Murray, at the Tombs Police Court, The man gave bis namo as Will- am Timmins, and said he resided at No. 22 West street, His wite, Bridget Timmins, was sent to the Island on Thursday tor drunkenness. Justice Murray committed the cuild to the care of the Commission of Charivies and Correction and held the father for trial at the Special Sessions. A lady named Mrs, McCue, residing In Pear! street, near Centre, before the half-starved bavy had be taken to court, bad kindly provided it with suitabie food and clothin: A sTRANGER TAKEN A wealthy brewer of Plymouth, Ohio, named Celestino Penzier, arrived in Jersey City on Thursday night On theCortlandt street ferryboathe met two well dressed and conversational strangers and asked them if they would show him a policeman, They asked him what ho wanted a policeman for, and ne said he wanted to be shown a hotel where he could sleep in peace and. secu- rity. y took hiin to the Brandreth House, in Canal stroct, and, after he had registered his name, volunteered to show him around the town, Mr. Penzier, delighted at the offer, accepted. After entering several saloons iu the Bowery the party wound up in tho Chnton House, No. 305 Bowery, where Mr, Penzler, after Tepeated invitations, ‘partook of a glass of b Atier doing so he had a faint remem- prions robbing him ot his pocketbook, containing $220, and two checks for $1,000 each and his watch, valued at $60. When he awoke the bartender invited bim to leave the place. He then called im the police, and Detective Robinson, of the Seventeenth precinct, arrested Thomas Varley and Thomas Nolan, the proprietor and the bartender of the establishment, as being the persons who robbed him. Penzier was sg stupetied by tke effects ot the narcotic administered Sim shan he was unable to identify the prisoners, On their being arraigned betore Justice Morgan, at the Essex Market Court, yesterday, Varley and Nolan were remanded until to-da; IN. Arthur O'Neil, of No. 414 East Twenty-fifth street, is a poor laborer who saves his hard earned wages for the support of his old mother in Dungannon, county Tyrone, Ireland. He has always been in the habit of obtaining his drafts from Barclay & Co., whose office is under the Bull’s Head Bank, on the corner of Twenty-ffth street and Third avenue, Ho obtained his last draft on the Sd of July last for £2 sterling and sent it to giadden the heart of his old mother, A few days ago he received a letter from her informing him that she had received the draft and had obtained the money thereon from the Bank of = treland, in Dubin; bat — she sorrowfully wrote, she had to*refund the £2 to the bank again, tho draft Laving been proved worthless, This was ascertained by the officials of the bank on corre- sponding with C. B, R. B., of No. 176 Broadway, the geteral agency in this city for the Bank of Ireland. Tt appears that Barclay & Co, failed to deposit the nec- essary funds at this office to make the dratt good, as they usually did. O’Neil went to the office of Barelay & Co, taking with him the receipt be had ootained when he sent the money home, but the parties in charge of the place told him they knew nothing about the matter, having only recently come into the offtce, He them wentto the general office in Broadw: Dut his experience there was of the sane unsatistac tory character, and the conviction finally forced itselt upon him ‘that he waa the victim of a fraud. Similar cases to that of O'N have come to light at the Fifty-seventh Street Court within the past year, but the police magistrates have been power- less to aid the sufferers, for the simple reason that legal evidence was not at hand and could not be ob- ined of the worthlessuess in Ireland of the drafts. ‘The general agents abo amed would seem to be to blame in the matter,» U'Neil was toid by Judge Kas- mire that he Was unable to help him in any way, and he left court upbraiding himself for being so foolish as not to have sent his movey through the Emigrant Savings Bank Association of some bank equally reh- able. O'Neil was induced, iike others, to deat with Barclay & Co. by & man whom he thought was a friend of his COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, Comptrolier Green has signed warrants on the fol- lowing accounts and transmitted the same to the Mayor | for his counter signature:— Interest on the city debts... $115 09 Retunding Croton water rent oe 00 Street improvements above Fifty-ninth street 135 60 Street improvement fund.

HOW THE WORK JS PROGRESSING ON THE NEW YORK SIDK All yesterday there were signs of more than usual activity on the New York anchorage of tho East River Bridge. Underneath and overhead appeared a force of workmen busily employed in bringing to com- pletion that portion of the work to which Iately all gefloris have been directed. In the morning the last of the derricks was creeted, and later ona squad were engaged in fixing the props and adjusting the ground stays. On top of the great mass of masonry Enginver Collingwood stood directing tho operations of tho masons in finishing and making water-tight the upper layer of stove, and he iwlormed the reporter that special care Was taken in this matter to insure the u durability of the stracture. To-mor- rk of stretching the three-quarter inch wire ropes from the New York tower will be begun and wilt be completed at tho latest on Monday. These ropes will be used as carriers on which other wires Will be conveyed, and a convection between tho two sides of the river suffictent for present demands expected to be soon satistactorily established speaking of the New York anchorage, the engineer said that it was a source of satistaction (0 all concerned that arred during the pr work thy aid, that as great ca taken im the eas in the past to guard against any- nid imperil the hfe or limb of those Te is arumor, Which has Pot yet been authoritatively contirmed, that measures will be taken to have all the large butidings situated between Water street and the river underneath the ropes removed at an carly date, as injury to the wires is apprehended in the event of a tire or some soch accident. THE BLACKWELL'S ISLAND BRIDGE, The Blackwell's Island Bridge project is to be pushed forward with increased activity, and visible prepara. tons will soon be made, THE TERRORS OF DYNAMITE. A HUGE RAFT EXPERIMENTED UPON BY GEN- ERAL ABBOTT AT WILLETT'’S POINT. On Monday afternoon inst an immense iron raft, welghing thirty tons, was towed from the Continental Iron Works, of this city, to Willett’s Point, New York harbor, the headquarters of the United States Engineer battaion, and anchored in the bay a tew hundred yards trom the shore. It was held in position by six- tweu one thousand pound anchors, firmiy secured by strong chains, Thirty feet below the raft was placed 200 pounds of aynamite, to whieh mass of explosive sub- stance was attached a wire connecting at the shore with a galvanic battery, All this bad beeu skilfally arranged undor the direc- tion of Major Henry 1. Abbott, commandant of the post, she object being to test the power of resistance of the weight of trou, A similar experiment was tried on the sawe raf, with smaller quantities of explosive material, on two previous occasions, Everything was 1a readiness for the test on Thursday morning, but the beavy storin prevented the General trom putting bis nS into execution, Yesterday morning, however, lestone an met Generals Barnard and Tower, of the Board of E: gineers tor Fortifications for the kastern Coast, who ar- Tived on the 8:30 train, and together they proceeded to Wiilett’s Point, where the officers were on the qui vive and everything was in readiness for the grand experi- ment. On reaching the post, the General, together with his guests and assistants, proceeded without deiay aboard the officers’ steamtng and steamed away from the long dock to a point on the-sbore under the unfn- ished fort and in a tine with the rait, whose biack form and turret loomed up like a miniature monitor away iD the distauce, The dock was hned with spectators, an on the summit of the grassy parapets the post phot fapher, with a group of officers, was pre- paring a plate and adjusting the camera’ to fucus the raft and take an instantaneous view of the explosion, On a neighboring elevation was stationed another group of olficers with a powerlu! glass and a signal finz, ready to signal the moment of firing the charge to Captain Livermore and bis assistants who were sta- tioned for the time being at Creedmoor, about twelve mies distant, the Captain being provided with a seisomoter with which to test the vibrations of the ground at that distance. At a quarier to ten o'clock the sun shone out clearly, the tide bad reached nearly to high water mark, a favorable condition for the experiment; the Vicinity of the ratt was clear of all sailing vessels when General Abbott touched the key of the battery wire, twinge, Went the current of electricity along the wire, a dull report was heard, and tho rait for ‘an instant trembled and | then was lost sight of for a moment in a hugo waterspout shooting high into the air, As the water subsided the iron monster could ve seen quictly down nig position, where it thirty-eight minutes, when it suddenly keeled over and gank to the bottom of the bay. The raft will be raised in a few days and taken to New York for repaira, when ft will bo ‘again experimented npon. These experi- mentg are made by General Abbott to ascertain the force necessary to destroy the large iron-clads, At the fort a force et men are kept coustuntly at work filling and preparing torpedoes and other instruments for like experiments; and ander the management of this abie oflicer resuits will yet be obtained that must prove of Vast advantage CREEDMOOK, THE NATIONAL GUARD ON THE RIFLE RANGES. The Fifth brigade, Second division, N.G.S.N.Y., neral Jourdan commanding, seut yesterday 188 officers, non-commissioned officers and rank and file to Creedmoor for rifle practice in tho first and second classes, The detachments were distributed among the several corps composing the brigade in the following order:—The Thirteenth regiment, 65 men; Four. teenth regiment, 50; Fifteonth battalion, 48, and the Twonty-eighih regimen t, 26 men, ‘The troops reached the practico ground on the nine o'clock A.

A Pleasant Sail from New London to Newport. THE ARROW LEADS INTO PORT. Vice Commodore Kane's Reception to the Owner of the Madeleine. Newrorr, R. I., August 18, 1876, This has tarned ont a pleasant day for the New York yachtsmen, The boats left New London about ten o'clock for this port, as it was a beat to windward up to Point Judith, and fair wind and tide from there to the anchorage. The occasion was especially enjoyable. An hour after daylight the crews were busy making sail, so that the canvas stretched from yesterday's rain might be sweated up before starting. The morning was superb, The sky was tlecked here and there with a handful of snow capped clouds which set off the blue vault above in more pertect beauty, On shore were numerous ladies and gentlemen to witness the depart ure of the fleet, and scores of handkerchiefs futterea as pleasant farewells, It had been agreed that ten o'clock should be the time of getting under way, but the owners of several yachts were so nervous about obtain- ing good positions that they broke anchor before the last signal gun was fired, and in this manner secured an advantage which those that observed the order did not have. The greatest preparations were made by some of the larger boats to be in good time for the run, The Wanderer was particularly noticed with boats In board and tho anchor stowed, showing a determination to lose no chence. The first gun was promptly fired at 9b, 30m., and before the second sent its hollow echo out upon the | air the Vindex, Arrow, Ramblor, Vision, Windwind, Palmer and Dreadnaught got away, the latter laying with jibs to windward, Tho balauce awaited the sig- nal, and soon the movemenge of the boats presented a pretty sight. Tho wind was east-southeast, a fair eailing breeze working ont by New London light, The Windward Jed the fleet; the Arrow next, then tho Wanderer, Rambicr, Idler, Vision, Alatm and Estelle in the order named, with tho others a cable length astern, the Madelvine bringing up tho rear, Tho race was now begun in earnest, and though there was hardly enough wind to give the jolly tars all the work they could do, or to smash the crockery below and stewards utter bard words, there was sufli- beautiful sail, and probably too much for some Jandsmen who are always sick when they mect the broad swell of tho sea At 10h, 2im., the Meta went about on the — starboard tack, the Palmer and Estelle at 10n. 24m., heading for Fisher’s Island Sound, and soon it was evident that the fleet would part company, as the giants stood ont through the raco and to the southward of Fisher's Isiand. The Arrow, Windward, Vindex, Palmer, Meta and Estelle worked through Fisher's Islaud Sound, while the Viston, Wanderer, Rambler, Dread- naught, Idler, Foam, Alarm, Josephine, Madeleine and Restless stood ont to the southward of the island. The saucy Arrow having just the play she wanted, as both wind and sea suited her beat up to windward magnificently, and soon gave all her companions the “goodby,”? though the fleet Windward stuck to her persistently, and for a long time would not be denied. ‘The Palmer, with lug foresail, had a grand tilt with the Fstelie, and they wero together for hours, the Palmer only being able to get_a short stretch io the advantage of her smaller sister in the work to the north end of Fisher Isiand. The buoy off North Dumpling tight was passed by the little fleet that went to the north. ward of the island as follows :— HH. M. 8. . 10 43 10 Palmer. «10 43 45 Estolie. sececeee 10 47 05 Meta, Much fino manc@uvring was done by these crafts, but the Arrow did so well in the sharp work that she sbowed her heels to all tue rest manner that bears out her previous utation for beating to windward. The tussle that sed for an hour or so between the Palmer, Vin- dex and Estelle was very lively, as neither gained much advantage until Fisher's [sand was put astern, when the Paimer crossed the Kstelic’s bows at 11h. 50m,, but a biscuit toss away, and stood along the veach, She was but 200 yards the best of tie Vinde: while the Estelle was outfooting both and hauling up them very rapidiy. in the tussle. The Arrow now led the way half a mile, the Windward being second, about the same distance in advance of the Palmer. The bigger cratis were sighted rounding the east point of Fisher’s Island ath. 53m., with the Idler leading, the Dreadnaught next, then the Wanderer, Vision, Rambier and others strang out astern fully a mile. The breeze had freshened atllb. 40m., and Watch Hill was abeam by the yachts in shore as tollows:— WATCH BILIn & .

The Idler stood up to r work grandly and ied the way, but the massive Dreadnaught was slipping through’ the water so fast and standing up to windward so well that there wero grave suspicions that she would polish off her gatiant competitor very handsomely. At two o'clock the wind lightened inshore, much to the disadvantage of the boats skimming along the beach, and is faygred tho offshore bgats immensely, Along Noyes! Point, Charlestown Inlet and Rocky Point the giorious old struggle continued, the yachts standing off and on so frequently that it'was almost impossible to note the pBumerous tacks, The ldler went in stays at 2h. 45m., standing inshore to round Point Judith; but she could not fetch it, and was com- pelied to again stand out for several minutes on the port tack. Here tho Dreadnaught took advantage of the Iuler’s mistake, standing on until she could fetch by the Pont, and at 3, 03m, she crossed the Idler’s bows and was the lead- ing schooner, Jibtopsails were sent up by the Idicr at ah. 15m., anda few minates later by the Dread. naught, Esteile and Wanderer before they hauled up to go by Point Judith, which was roauded as under by the leaders :— POINT JUDITH, Madeleine Palmer. Point wi tide, the battle, with ail light canvas, was magniticeut. Inthe run the big Wanderer proved a ‘bothering box" ier sister Estelle, covering her up and going which troubied her considerably, as she had fairly beaten the Paimer and did not want to lose the advantage gained so near the end of the race. The Madeleme slipped by the l’almer at 4h. 03m., and went to the leeward of the Estelie; but the latter was re- venged upon both, she ana the Wanderer, as well as Palmer, beating them into the anchorage. ‘The cutter Active came out of the harvor at half-past four, und stood down as far as the Palmer, when she came about and followed the leader back, The yachts presented a charming sight as they passed by Fort Adams, and tho gun of che Arrow, which was the signal of the fleet's arrival, caused hundreds to crowd the docks. The sloop Windward was the second to anchor, the Dreadnaught third, then the liler, Es- toile, Madeleine, Wanderer, Palmer, Rambler, Foam, Vision, Vindex, Josephine, Meta, Alarm and Restless, in the order named. ‘The timing was as follows ;— Anchor Elapsed Name.

SECOND EXHIBITION AT GLEN MITCHELL OF THE CALIVORNIA POLO PLAYERS—SURPRISING DISPLAY OF HORSEMANSHIP—THE REDS VIC- Toniovs, Sanatoca, August 18, 1876, ' ‘The California polo players gave the second exhibi- tion of thoir daring feats iu horsemanstip at Glen Mitchell, this afternoon, in the presence of about 1,000 spectators, who were highly delighted with the won- dertul, graceful and daring riding of these expert mer, The exhibition began with Captain Mowry’s displey of horsemanship, showing his great command over the animal by stopping it instantly while at full gallop; then, again, while at specd, reaching his hand to the ground, ploughing up the dust fora distance of fifty yards and then regaining his seat in the saddle without apparent effort, After this Figuero, Ballard, Jourdan and Corilla gave specimens of their horsemanship by picking up hand- kerchiefs from the ground while at the top of the horse’s specd. Captain Mowry then showed how to change horses without stopping. All these perform- ances camo off onthe quarter stretch of the trotting track !n front of the stand, which was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and they applauded the Cah. fornians lusty. On gotging through with the various displays of horsemanship the crowd repaired to the inner field of the fair grounds avd then the games ot polo were played by the reds and biues. Captain | Mowry, Jourdan and Figuero composed the rea sido and Morgan, Coriila and Ballard tho blucs, As tho playing progr2ssed a moro excited congrega- Uon of spectators was never witnessed at any game of any kind that has ever been played in or near Saratoga, The crowa seemod as excited as the players them. selves, The Californians are very expert players of polo with their crooked sticks, but with the mallet they are pot much more than a watch for and prob- ably not better players than some of the members of the Westchester Polo Clab, ‘The Californians arc going to Newport to play, and they thore wil! probably meet of the Westchesters, when a grand game may come ofl. . THE POLO GAMES. Tho first game was begun ata quarter to six o'clock by tho refereo throwing the ball midway be- tween the two goals A Yapid run from oth sides brought Mowry and Morgan to tho ball at the same instant, and in the haste they both missed that object. Then Jourdan and Corilla came, and afterward Ballard and Figuero, and they were all iu a bunch before the ball wax moved from where the refereo threw it. They cracked away with the crooked sticks and hooked each other occa- sionally, and the ball lay under the feet of their horses’ without Leing moved for several seconds At last Morgan rescued 1t and sent it flying, but only to be caught by Jourdan and sent toward the blue end of the field, Corilla then made a dash, and to save the gamo knocked the ball out of bounds. When pitched in among them again another merry tussle ensued at close quarters, when Ballard got iho ball out from the crowd and he and Figuero bad a short contest lor its possession, The others thea came up and again they blocked the game by getting so close together the ball could not be seen under their horses’ feet. Morgan got the ball vut at last and was lifting it along nicely when Mowry, by rapid riding, overtook it and knockou it out of bounds = Fizucro and Corilla atter- ward had a merry tussie for the ball away from the others, when tho jatter, who is a capital player, got the ball im the crook ot his stick and threw 1t 100 feet, Figuero dashed alter it, bet missed a back-handed hit, and then, ail the others coming up, they were aliina heap again, the bail being under the horses, Cracking of imallets and pushing and shoving each other's horses and hooking sticks ensued for some seconds, when Hallard rescued the ball and was getting away with it ‘nicely, when Jourdan captured it trom him, and getting 1 tn the crook of his suck sent it flying between the flags of the blues, This ended the first game, which lasted twelve minutes, ihe players jor the second game took the Westches- ter Polo Cub mailets. When the releree called “play”? Mowry and Morgan dashed away at the bead of their and both missed the bail and ran past it, One going North, the other south. Corilla then came up, and with a clever rap sent the ball flying toward the red end. Jourdan weat rapidly atter it, aud before Conia could follow up lis advantage Jourdan, by a well directed bit sent the ball back to tne blues, “A close struggle ensued for the possersiun of the ball, when Jour- dan, getting a good crack at it, sentit between the Diues’ flags, scoring the second gume in two minutes, Without rest the th rd game was called, and atit they went, the men having changed sidea Corilia and Bai- lard, of the blues, raced rapidly atthe ball, being a second belore the reds were there, but they voth missed; when Jourdan und Figuero coming up took charge of the bali and rushed it toward the vlues’ cor- ner. They, however, drove it out on the wrong side of the flag. Play was then carried on for several minutes at the blue end, tbe membors of that side knocking the ball out of bounds whenever in danger, and in Luts way five or siX minutes were spent. Fimaliy Corilla gova fair crack at the ball, ana, riding rapidly, managed to get it on the reus’ side of the centre Of the ground, when Jourdan coming up, knocked it out of bounds for salety. As svon as the ball was thrown back atong the players Corilla and Morgan were both successiul in thetr hits, and Cornla running oil with 1, knocked 1 out of bounds, within a yard of the flag polo, When thrown in again Mowry and Jour- dan got at it, and, by excelient play, carried the bail down to the blues’ corner, when, after sume sharp play, they succevded in getting the ball between the flags, and this ended the third game in favor uf the reds. ihe three games insted torty-flve minutes. The crowd then dispersed aud the Californians re- paired to their quarters to pack up their effects for a trip to Newport. They will leave early in tne morn. ing. Their two performances here have been very suc- cessful, and they are satisied with their recerpts. WALKING MALCH. E ©. HOLSKE, OF THE HARLFM ATHLETIC CLUB, DEFEATS JOSEPH TAYLOR IN A TWO- MILE WALK. ° Newront, RL, August 18, 1876, Yesteraay a very interesting walking match took place here, which for Some time bas been attracting considerable attention, between KE ©. Holske and Jo- seph Taylor, both of New York. The former is a meim- ber of the Harlem Athietic Club, The distance was two miles, and = was trom the head of Touro Park, on Bellevue avenuo, to the extreme gouth- ern end of the avenue, Taylor's backers, and they were numerous, had every reason to expect that he would be victorious, but they were doomed to disap. potntment, He (Taylor) started at a very rapid pace, For a long distance Holske kept bebind him, which was the means of driving Taylor considerably, but after making several spurts he commenced to show signs of Woakness and a desire to give up the contest, which bo did by the time one-hall of the distance had been walked. Holske then showed what he was made of, walking of in fine style, and weither at that time nor at the finish did he show any signs of fatigae. He walked the two miles in sixteen minutes and twenty seconds, and the spectators at once congratu. | Jnted him upon bis remarkable feat, for an _armatenr. Tho prize was a nandsome gold medal, Holske js withoat dount, ove of the best amateur walkers in the country of his age, he being but nineteen years old. Taylor's triends ever concede that in the early part of the he Tace, (Holske) {90led away” con. siderable ume, and would — ba won th match if bo had started five minutes later than Taylor did.
