8 THE CENTENNIAL AQUATICS, The New York Four Defeated by the Londoners, TIME, 18M. 21 1-28. Halifax Walks Away from the Paris Crew. AUL THE &NGLISH SCULLERS BRATEN, The Fun and Fury of the Whaleboat Race. Puitapeenta, Sept. 4, 1876, Far tho busiest day’s racing on the Schuylkill eame Off this afternoon, Cloudy overhead, the water till woll into the afternoon was a trifle rough, and then fell away to a dead calm. YIRST TRIAL HEAT—POUKS, The New York four were the Orst to show, atten minutes past two, shooting the bridge, taking a short, brisk spin up the river and returning to the unfortunate outer station. ‘he Thames men did no. keep them loog in suspense, but with their red capped bow, the others all im plain white, soon paddled up alongside. As they lay there for a minute or two, chatting in the friendly sbade of the bridge, if looks went for anything, the greater power seemed to lie with the Americans, bow and stroke sitting up noticeably high and strong, while the men looked well put together and solid. But then the Londoners had an easy ovement, full, hard, tleanecut faces, and a way even of sitting their boat which, backed by their repatation, might well make them respected, if not feared, Now the new referee, William B. Curtis, of the Northwesterns (Cap- tain Brown haying voluntarily retired), called them to their posts, gave them the words of caution, and bad them off ina trice, The Thames men were at it like a flash, and who ever saw English professionals slow in getting away? But just couvt their strokes. Why, they have run itactually clean up to forty-eight! Mighty fost tor the old non-sliding days, but now tre- mendous, As they skim along up Peter's Island, gradually working inward toward the upper end, and stil tearing on with all the power they owned, hero tomes a strange, and to every American here, save a low, A MosT WELCOMN SIGHT, for though the Now Yorkers had only opened with thirty-eight, and at the eastern station at that, on the next minute they had it up to forty on a beautiful line, and were working fast over toward the foe, and not behind or umply level, but actually and unquestionably sorging wellahead, As they cleared the island and the quarter post you could plainly see clear water between their der post and England's bow, thus carrying out their prediction that this very sight frst half mile, and they add rn stanchest backers’ would be seen during the to it by clearing the island and shooting across stream for the famous western shore, New York still keeps away to the fore, and at her steady iorty, and heading the better course, seems to have In her rival hand; bnt the latter had slowed now to y, and fora while hung too close to the western k; so close that at every movement it seemed as if y must bo aground; but at last they wero off, and brushing suddeuly eastward they spurt fast, and are right on the New Yorkers, Yes, forthe Thames port men splash, The next minute their spurt seems to have done the business, and all look to see them touch, while now up goes the hand of London's bow man, and sure enough there’s the claim of foul. But it was not mach, and they seem to have thought so, too, for now they are at it agnin, hard as ever, both rowing close to forty, New York giving away a trifle to give her antagonist more room. MMRK THE BATTLE TURNS. The New York men have, as somo feared, gone too fast, forgetting seemingly, which the English never do, that the race 1s for three miles, not half of one, Now London collars her, with fatal certainty, her bow is working to the front, Uf she can do this here, thus early in.the race, with the Inside track, too, it is plain all is ap with our country- men unless accident helps them out, On go the Lon- don men, skirting that bank beautifully, and then, work- ing out a little, make for the turning stake. Now they are off it, Starboard holds and port hauls, and as she begins to corner the watch says 8m, 22s for London, twenty-nine seconds faster than the cham- pions of this conntry, the famous Northwestern fou made a month ago at Saratoga, or two taster than Cor” neil’s six, and, most wondertul of all, thirty-three sec- onds better than London beat Northwestern bere cho other day.

It is a pity to see good, uncom- monly good men, trying to prevail onan express wagon to k or, rather, eo duing their work rison bold good, It is head and body now, not body only, that must win the race, If these fonr who rowed to day had done so with two-thirds of the care and painstaking precision of Captain Gniston’s four they would almost certainly have won instead of, a8 now, being thrown entirely the final heat.

If so, then be must be putting Luther forward to row the Thames man down, and then he walk in and take the prize But now comes some joekeving, though of another kind. Just belore they reached the half Luther was ahead, Higgins had crossed his wake and gone west a littic, and now turns back, rashes hard up in a sharp spurt on to Luther's heels and strikes bis starboard oar once or twice right into the wash of tho latter's port oar, and perhaps struck 1% At any rate the Englishrsan’s band goes up and be claims a foul; but after a moment's hesitation, long enough to let Morris catch up a little, he concluded to go on, and from bere to the mile the three make a gay race of it, each pulling as i{ he thought he might win, while as they pass tho post the watch marks tm. 35s.

About 400 spectators were gathered at the Centen- nial Ground, Jersey City, yesterday, to witness the re- turn game between the Alaska and New York clubs, The wind was against tho batters, and as the ground 1s well adapted for low scores, being covered with loose sand, on which a ball will not bounce, a close game was looked for. Tho New Yorks went frst to the bat and scored three runs, through errors, The Alaskas scored arun in their first inning. Neither clab scored again until the sixth inning, when the Alaskas made two, which tied the score. In the seventh inning both sides retired in one-twoethree order. In the eighth inning the New Yorks maue one and the Aiaskas four, which gave them a decided lead. In the ninth inning the Alaskas, after blanking their oppovents, added two more runs to their score, Not a run was earned during tbe game. Rice, Quilty, Dunnigan, Isher- wood and Phoips filled their respective positions with credit, The last (wo innings were played rather loosciy on the part of the New Yorks, which led to their de- Jeat, ‘The iollowing is the score :— INNINGR, Cluds.

The ferrybvoats, street cars and coaches of the Northern New Jersey Railroad each carried their quota of living freight toward the scene of the festival. For four hours a buddied throng of men, Women and ebtidren, coniusea but very good tempored, beset the gateway of the park, unui the grounds inside presented a most lively aspect. As nearly as it was possible to estimate there were 10,000 people in aitendance at pightfall VISITING SOCIRTIES.

THR HACKERS HocKZRIT. The great feature of the day’s entertainment, an old German wedding, \ook piace at tive o'clock. The atlar was rendered ali {he more interesting trom the act of its genuine nature, Lt was a bond fide marriage, and the name of tho bride and groom were Minnie Koenig, of The coremohy was periermed by the Rev. Dr, Snyder, of the New York German Lutheran church. The scege of the Wedding was ab the old-lastioned German tarhse house which has been erected in the park, complete in every inward and outward detail Tho wedding proces- sion which drove up to the door was headed by a band of music and A crowd of — pons. ant mon, dressed in velvet holiday costumes, Then followed two wazons which contained a number Philadeiphia, and Alfred Detnicke, of Hoboken. | of bridesmaids in red ponsant costqmes, and @ com. Pleto housekeeping ontfil from a teapot $0 a epinniog whoel, - The crowd around the scene of the wedding was immonse; {uli of eager merriment, yet somewhat subdued by the reality of the event. The bride was dressed im a simpie biack and white peasant costume; ber hair plainly arranged, and surmounted by a wreath of flowers, Tho groom was distinguishable by @ very Jong black velvet surtout, which reached to a pair of odd rubber boota Tho ceremony occupied considerable time. After a clant by the choir the clergyman ad- dressed them words of advice and wisdom, and then their right hands were joined and the sentence of mar- riage pronounced. This was followed by ap anthem, cheers by the crowd, congratulation and Kisses and ap old-fashioned wedding feast in the farmhouse. At about the time the wedding took piace A BALLOON ASCENSION was made from another portion of the grounds. Tho air vess! was built by Mr. Peduzzi, a drugztst, of Brook- lyn, and contains 1,800 {cet of gas. For some reason it started very reluctantly, though carrying but light baliast. Mr. Peduzzi was ita only occupant, und be- fore starting he stated his intention of remaining up but an hour. His voyaye was even shorter than he anticipated, Before going 200 yarda, and with but short rise, the vessel began to descend rapidly. Mr. Peduzzi cut three bags of ballast loose, but it did not stay the fall, The basket struck against a bouse cor- ner, and the whole tase came tunbiing to the ground. Mr. Peduzzi was injured in the side, but it 1s be- Heved not very seriously. Considerable excitement was naturally occasioned by the event. To-day the prominent feature ot amusement at tho festival will be a humoristic procession, A BURGLAR SHOT. EXCITING SOENE IN THE NINTH WARD—A DES- PERATE CHASE AFTER A WOUNDED THIEF. The ordinarily quiet Ninth ward was tho scene yea- terday afternoon of an encounter between a reputable citizen and two burglars who had invaded his house for the purposo of robbery. The citizen, thoagh confined to his bed from severe illness, drew a rovolver and ot one of the rufians, who has been captured. The other thief succeeded in escaping. At present it 1s uot known whether the burglar will recover from the ct- fects of the wound or not, Briefly stated the facts re+ garding tho affair aro a8 follows:—-Mr. Frederick Lepo- rin, with his wife, Mme. Hedwig Leporin, keeps a small tancy goods store at No, 96 Christo- pher street, noar Bleecker. Mr. Leporin, who ts quite a young man, has for some months past been sul” fering from pulmonary disease, uring the day he gencrally rested himself on a lounge in the rear of the Store, bis wife attending to the wants of the customers, aud their apartments on tho third floor of the builaing being locked up. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before three o’ciock, Mra. Frederika Reichardt, living on the fourth floor of the building, while coming down stairs saw the door of the suit of apartments occupied by Mr and Mrs. Leporin open and two strange men in the parior, One of the men was tall, thin and beard- Jes, and dressed in a flannel suit. The other was short, Stout and wore a heavy mustache. They appeared to be engaged rummaging tho oureaa in the room. Mrs. Reichhardt rau down stairs, and entering Mre Leporin’s store, said, “Oh, Mrs. Leporin, who are the two men in your room? I think they are thieves” Sys. Le- porin at once left tho shop, and ran up. stairs to her room. As she entered the door the short, stout man struck hor in the face, king ber on one side. Sho screamed tor help and calledon her husband to save her. Tho burglars pusbea past her and ran down the stairs. Inthe meantime Mr. Leporin, who had be- come alarmed, had staggered from he lounge on which he was lying to his office desk, where he nad one of the largess sized Smith & Wesson’s revolvers, of which four chambers were loaded. The pistol throws a. ball S2-lu0 in calibre, When the cry of bis wile for belp was beard by him he rushed out upon the sidewa!k 80 a8 to intercept aby person who might try to escape by the halldoor, At that moment the burg- lars rashed into tho street, Excited by the cireum- stances aud partially unnerved by bis illness, Mr, Leporin called on them to stop, instead of firing on them point blank. Owing to this the low sized man with the y black mustache escaped. The tallone ferns for an instant, and Mr. Leporin fired at bim. he ball struck the burgiarin the Jet side, traversed the region of the beart and lodged in the muscles of the back. The daring thief, however, was not dis- couraged, With the speed of a acer be ran through Christopher street to Bicecker, through Bleecker to West Teutn, and through West Tenth to West Fourth street, Mr. Leporia, thoroughly infuriated by the ap- parent escape ot the burglar, tollowed him into ieecker street and fired wildiy the remaining three shots. One of these shots passed through 1 how window of Mr. J, Wentworth, hatter, No. $35 Bisecker atrect, went through two hats, another glass case and lodged in the wail, Mr. Wentworth bad a narrow escape, the ball pasemng by his houd By this time the tall burglar had ran out of sight, and Officer Carey coming up, saw Mr. Leporin tring his revoiver and arrested him. In the meantime Oflicer Vallient, of the Ninth precinct, was in full pursuit of the flying bur, lar, When the burglar was ronning througn Wi Fourth strect Officer Cole, of the Sixteenth pre- cinet, who was ricing up town on a Bleecker street cat, saw him, and, jumpmg from the car, joined im the chase. The burgiar, tinding closely pressed, dashed through West Eleventl to Sixth avenue and into a lager beer saloon, where he was foand hidden in the water closet. Even then he did not weaken, and when Officer Cole asked lim, “Are you hurt” be answored, “1am hit, but)| it doesn’t amount to anything.” He was taken to the Charies street station by Officers Cole and Valhent and examined by Captain Kennedy. A silver rpoon, gold pen and pencil case and five-skeleton keys were found on. An examination of the rooms ot Mr, i that the door had been forced open roperty in the piace had been packed up ready for in three bundles. Dr, Dorn was summoned to the station ond pronounced the wounded thief's condition as extremely critical. The prisoner gave bis name as Frederick Driftmeyer, aged \wenty-tbree years, married, residing at No. 133 Crosby strect, He was removed to the Chambers Street Hospital, in an ambulance Mr. Leporin was brought before Justice Duffy at the Wash- ington Pl Polive Court yesterday afternoon, and re- manded to the Ninth precinct station to await the re- sult of Driftmeyer’s injuries. He will be brought up again to-day. ‘A Heracn reporter bad an interview with Mrs, Drift- meyer last night’ Shots a mere girl, and has living with her two young children of a dead sister.
