THE DWYER-COBURN GLOVE MATCH. New Yoru, Sept. 7, 1876. To tas Epitos or Tum Hxerap:— In your account of the sparring match between Coburn and Dwyer at Central Park Garden, August 30, published in the Heratp of Septembor 1, your reporter made the statement tl the match was adraw. Such 48 not the case. We were chosen as umpire and referco for Coburn, and Mr. Charles Johnson, of Brooklyn, aud Mr, John Murpby, of New York, were selected to fill the samo offices for Dwyer. During the match Coburn delivered seven clean without a return, while Dwyer only delivered one and that just with the tip of the glove on Coburn’s chin. At the termination of the match we claimed it for Ooburu, and Messrs. Johnson and Murphy claimed 1s a draw. Owing to the noise and coniusion we were anable to make ourselves heard and ‘the audience dispersed without knowing what the de- cision really was. We claim that tho match was clearly won by Coburn, and should have made this statement betore, but have not met since the evening in question. Hoping, in justice to the general publio and also to o1 pel that you will insert this m your valu: we remain Fospocttully yours, HARLES HALL, WILLIAM J, GOULD, POTOMAO REGATTA.

The wharves and banks ‘wero lined with thousanda of spoctators, and the river was dotted with smail boats of every description. Shortly betore five o'clock both crews pulled out from the boat house to the starting point a mile below, closely foliowed by a tugboat with General Sherman and the umpire, Judges, time-keepers, and membors of the press on board. Both crows being in position, the umpire, Mr. J. M, Bennet, of the Vesper Club of Philadelphia,’ caution them against fouling, ana then callod out ‘aro you ready.” Being answered in the affirmative, at a quarter-pass tive o'clock he gave the ward "Go. ‘Tho Cambridge crew got away first, but was closely followed by the Dublin. Being unacquainted with tho boats vowh crews steered completely out of the course; but pulling in again the Dublin crew began to close up the gap, and at tho baif mile overhauled and passea the Cambridge crew, who thon spurted and came alongside of the Dublin. They kept well together to the three-quarter inile, when the Cambridge boat re- fused to obey the radder, and the boats fouled. fho umpire ordered them to go on, ang tho Dublin crew forged ahead, but was soon ovortaken by the Camoridge. At this point another foul was caused by a sailboat which crossed the course and forced the Cambridge boat upon that of the Dublin. After an- Other start a tugboat got in tho way, and the umpiro stopped the race and declared itadraw. Tho crews rowed tn boats belonging to the Al tan Club, The second raco over the same course by two picked crews from tho Apalostan Club, the winning crew making the milo in 7m. 35s.

THEY SEK THE BAY AND JHE SOUND—A VISIT To THE Ts, The several tqams of !o! riflemen who are at Present sojourning among wore entertained yes- terday by the joint commi'tee of the National Rifle Association and the Amateur Ritle Club, Tho weather was not at all auspicious, there being hardly a glimmer of sunshine during tho whoio day and a ‘Seotch mist,’ which doubtless tho clerk of the weather bad made to order for the occasion, greeted the representative crack shots of the ‘Land o’ cakes an’ brither Scots” in a way that must havo most naturally brought to the mind of Colonel McDonald and his follow riflemen the henth- covered mouutains of bonnie Scotland, Still, notwith- stanuing the half-executed meuaces of ‘‘Jupitor Plu- -Vius,’? the rain-charged clouas every now and thon lifted their misty veil from the fair tace of Nature, and the visiting riflemen were permitted tosee the hail-veiled beauties of New York Bay and part of the North and East rivers in a way that must have provoked a desire to behold the glorious picture stand out in a flood of light and sunshine, such as for weeks past has made tho vicinity of New York a plc- ture of loveliness, The steamer Nelson K. Hopkins, which was to have lett the foot of Twenty-fourth street at nino o'clock, arrived there at a quarter to ten, In the meantime the Irish, Scottish and Australian rifle teams, with théir friends, had collected on tne pier, and wore ready to board the Hopkins by the time she got alongside of the wharf. The smart little Steamer was decked from stem to stern with a cloud of bunting that represented the chosen colors which sevoral inighty nations love to swear by. The Eng- Msh, French, German and American flags were con- spicuous among the rest, while the cross of Sk An- drew’s and the harp of Erm wero seen waving in har- mony together. On the fleld vert, chargod with a harp or, Which was sup} to represent Ireland, was a very diminutive looking Union Jack, hid away in the sinister base. ‘The magnificent military band of twenty-five pieces, from Governor's Island, exhausted in the cause of the day a well stocked répertoire of select music, There was also on board a twelve pounder mountain how: zor, which at intervals omitted a good deal of smoke aod balf-burned wadding, but {atled to make the sur- rounding hills re-echo to its sound. Among those on board were:— Major General Alexandor Shaler, General in-Chief of tho First division, N. G., 8. N. Y., and President of the National Rifle Associatior Major General John B. Woodward, General Lloyd Aspinwall, General A. J. McCook, General J. M.

The graceful lines of the yachts were admired. . ‘While nearing Fort Wadsworth the steamer Califor. nin sailed majestically up tho stream, the passengers and crow waving handkerchiela, At half-past eleven o'clock the steamer made fast to the pier at Fort Wadsworth, and some of her passen- gers scrambled up the glacis of the works, whiie oth- ers wontup the steep road. The granite revetments of the casem: battery, the tremendous engines of war in tne shape of fifteen-inch columbiads, and eight-inch Parrott rifle guns wore viewed with curiosity and cominented on in manner which showed interost in the progress that Americans aro thonght to be making in tho art ofwar, After ram- bling about for a tine, Fort Hamilton was next visitod, where the visitors wero cordially received by the com- manding officer, who accompanied them through tho works, After viewing the place and admiring the surround- img sconery tho party re-embarked, when lunch waa served. After tho wants of the inner man had been attended to speech-making was the order of the day. General Shaler led of. Goionel McDonald repliod, and hoped that some timo ho might bave tho privilege of receiving Atnericau riflemen in Scotland as cordially sheand his men had beou here, Major Loech re- sponded in behalf of his countrymen ina happy vein. Captain Blannon mado an address in behalf ol his tel- low subjects from Australia, and Mr. Cameron also epoke. At three o'clock the Hopkins made Hallet’s Point, and the party were taken through the excavations that are now in course of completion at Hell Gate. They all evinced a lively curiosity to penetrate into the in- most recesses of the different drifts leading from the central shatt. On the groat derrick which was near by the flag appeared at half mast as a token of respect for the memory of the unfortunate men who #0 lately lost their lives by the nitro-glycerine explosion, The party left Hell Gate at four o'clock and followed the windings of the East River to Throg’s Point. Hopkins then headed down stream and arrived at Jones? Wood a quarter before five. The Scotch toa weut ashore to participate in tho Caledonian gam: there, 4 The Irish team wore set ashore at Hunter's Point amid hearty greetings on all sides. They went to Garden City. The stoamer finally made her landing at East Twenty-third street, where she set ashore nearly all the remainder of her jovial passengers, after which sho went to the Battery and landed the rest, including General Lloyd Aspinwall | somo of tho Australian team, THE ONTARIO RIFLE TEAM.
