This afternoon another series of polo games wore played and by actual count there were 117 carriages on tbe ground at one time, including the coaches. The afternoon was decidedly chilly, and many of the Indies in order to keep warm alighted from their carriages and waiked at a rapid pace from one end of the lot to the other. Quite a number took possession of the space in front of the grand stand, where chairs were found for them. They were ail very sociable by this arrangement, and appeared to enjoy the afternoon’s sport as well as they did in August, when the ther- Mometer was among the nineties. At all events, they remained on the ground until the close of the games, which was not until about dark, The band from Fort Adams was ov the ground, as it always is on Saturdays, and their delightful music was ap- preciated, and added much’ to the enjoy- ment of all present. Two hundred spectators were on the high rocks in the lot east of the grounds and they too were content to remain until the last stroke was made. The playing was hardly up tothe average from various causes, but, nevertheless, all worked with a will and the ball was repeatedly under the horses’ leet, and the most of the playing was dono in close quarters, so carnest were all of them to win the goals, PRELIMINARIES, There were but six players, and -the Absence of the gallant Captain of the reas (C, H. Ridgway), who had gailea for Europe since tho game of Wednesday, was noticed at once. Mr. Peters, who played to good advantage with the bines on Wednesday, was selected as the successor of Mr. Ridgway, and {rom his record to-day it 18 not too much to say that he will be able to fill it as successfully us did bis predecossor, Tho sides were di- vided as follows:—Reds—Richard Peters, captain; Messrs. 8. iH.

Soon aiterward the pretty mus- tangs were all in a heap, the ball being but a short dis- tance from the goal, which the biues were evidently determined to capture, and but for the invincible cap- tain of the reds the game would at this int have been decided in favor of the lacs, Mr, Pe got the ball before bim, and making his third stroke in snccession he broke another mallet.

When the Sound was reached, bowever, the dashing of the whitecapped ‘waves against the steamer and the whistle of the wind, which had become almost a gale, made it evident that af sailed at all the race would be one of many reefs. Oyster Bay was sighted at ten o’clock, and in a few moments afterward the Fort Lee mado fast to the dock amid the cheers of the yachtsmen that crowded around. The unusually strong wind and heavy sen caused some debate as to the availibility of keeping the outside course as set dqwn in the programmo for open boats; but with the usual pluck of the Seawanhaka Club it was determined that the race should be sailed with somo slight modifi- cation of the course for the smaller boats, THE COURSES. For first and second class open sloops the course was across an imaginary line drawn betwcen the judges’ boat, Addie Voorbis and the steamboat dock, up and around Beskinan buoy, thence to and around Middic Ground buoy and back to piace of departure.

The sloop La Bayadere was by a flaw just after the start on the first heat and ‘ied away hor jib sheet, incapacitating her for apy brilliant di! during the rest of the day. The course of both clifos was from the south cove to the dam, the wind being nearly east and blowing a good sailing breeze. In the regatta of the Prospect Park Club the Robert Center, Lizzie and Pioneor were eutered, and of the first three heats the Lizzie won two and was declared tho winner of the first prize, The other boats satied off for the second prize, and this heat was the most in- teresting of the race, The Center had far the best of the start, and matatained her lead tor over half the course, when the Pioneer began to overhaul her, and eventually came in first by only five seconds, LAUNCH OF A MINIATURE YACHT. The pondin Central Park, near Fifth avenue and Seventy-second street, which is usually covered with elegant miniature yachts and surrounded by an ad- miring throng, was especially the centre of attraction yesterday afternoon, on account of the proposed Jaunching of the miniature yacht Jamos Gordon Bei nett by her maker and owner, Mr. Frederick Meyer, She 18 a beautiful littie craft, being a regular built boat, with steamer frame, planked and caulked— in fact, perfect im every way. Sho 1s schooner- rigged, her length being 4 feet 8 inches over all, with 3 feet 6 inches the keel, and a beam 19 inches. Her bowsprit measures 3 teet 2 inches. She has a depth of 14 inches, draws about 9 inches of water and can carry a set of 13 sails, A neat little cabin is fitted out with as much elegance us any miniature yacht on the lake. At first there was some aifficulty in getting ner afloat on account of the shallowness and the muddy condition of the lake near the shore, but whea she fairly got under way she sailed with ease and gracefuluess, un- ceremoniously running over ail the smaller crait that unluckily came in her way. Mr. Meyer proposes to enter her, if possible, for the race in Gowanus Bay on Monday next, YACHTING NOTES.

As an iliustration of the uncertainty of the gaine of ‘base ball nothing could be moro strikingly appropriate than the game which was played on the Unton Groands yesterday In the game on Friday tho Cincinnatis haa great difficulty in hitting Matthews’ pitehinz, which, no doubt, caused the betting to ran so high yesterday in favor of the Mutuals—pools selling at $80 to $15. Every person present yesterday, therefore, felt cer- tain that tho Mutuals wonld again win the day. To the surprise of the audience and chagrin of the bet- ting men, tho Cincinnatis had no trouble about batting the bails pitched by Matthews, but struck them with perfect ease. The Mutuals had but ove rou ap to the eighth inoiug, when they got in a streak of batting and seored two runs, both of which were earned. lu tho ninth they scored three moro, Hayes got his base on an error by Kessler. Booth and Matthews, the next two strikers, Were both disposed of. Nichols made a preity base bitand Maloney loliowed with a beautiful three- ase bit, sending in Hayes and Nichols and going home himself by a bud throw of the right Helder. Start was litule fly to Sweasy, at second, sehols played well at third base, and Maloney did remarkably well, both in the field and at the bat. He gives promise of rising to distinction as a player.

He afterward appeared during the same year in seven races, winning five of them, and became famous on September 15, that season, by winuing second, third and fourth heats at Sucra- mento in 2: 2:23%% and 2:23, Sam Purdy was then considered a formidable horse in the stallion championship race at Boston in 1874, and was entered for that evont, but he did not come on here to try con- clusions with the other famous horses. The only race he trotted in 1874 was one in September, at Sacra- mento, in which he defeated Oceident and Blackbird, after the former had won two heats in 2:21, 2:24). Sam Purdy’s best time was 2:25, Last year ho was let up entirely, but this year he showed so much speed that {¢ was concluded to send him East to take his chances in the Septilaseral circuit with the trotsers of the 2:22 class, He was entered throughout the circuit excopt at Rochester, and his very successiul campaign te now a matier of history, He won at Cleveland the three last heats in 2:252%, 2:23, 2:254j, Badger Girl winning the first in Ho noxt uppeared Buifilo, where ho won the third, fourth and fifth heats in 2:20%, 2:224, 2:23, Cozetto won the first beat in 2:22.

The black fivo-yoar-olt stallion owned by Mr. Jerome 1, is lodged at Point Broezo track, tempora- rily, in charge of Mr, Goodin. It is not yot determined who will drive bim on tho momentous occasion of the Independence race, since his former trainer and driver, Mr. Higbee, has sovered his conection with the interests of the Wostern won- der, His great Southern rival, Blockwood, Jr., bus also arrived upon the ground from Nashvilie, Tenn. and has located directly at Sulfolk Park. His ow Mr. Jacob Zell, and his trainer, A. J. McKimmin, a both with him, and, as asual, confident in the horse that bas so often scored victories to their credit, An- other member of the Indepundence race that also atiracta mach attention, and is with reason weil thought of, is the cnestaut filly Elsie Good, by Blue fovernor Sprague, Case, of Racine, Wir, «hence | 7 Beard, dam by Alexander’s Abdallah. She has won right and left through the West and the central circutt against matured trotters, and evinced sueh cam- pagoing qualities and such true, game mettle as to creato many warm admirers. Her owners (also the owners of her somewhat dis- tinguished sire), Messrs. James Wiison & Son, of Rushville, Ind., bave her in charge at Belmont track, which is very assuring that she will be fit whi the day comes. The other mem»ers of this race have pot yet arrived, Having loss disiance to travel, and 8 fatigue to recover trom, they find tt un. necesary to move Just yot, though they may be shortiy expected. ‘The Republic race, for four-year-olds, coming on the third day of the meeting, is the speculative foature and the subject gf mach discussion among its entries, Tne Virginia filly, Sadie Bell, bas been an object of caretul observation.

Such a match as that contended at the Wolsh Harp, Hendon, on Saturday last, 1s, we believe, without pre- cedent, Certainly, m recent years, nothiog of the kind has been chronicled, ana, therefore, the issue afforded the greater surprise, resulting, as it did, In the defeat of the man. That a dog could compote with any chanco of success against a moderately good swimmer many were loath to believe, and, although conceded a start on this occasion, the almost unanimous feeling was with the biped, In fact, it was generally con- sidered a ‘good thing’? for Parker, who, as a profos- sional swimmer, has taken very high bonors and is at the present timo teaching tho art of natation at both the Poekham and Kennington Baths. The articies stipulated that Parker should con- cede to the dog a start of thirty seconds in half a mil the time to count from the moment the dog entere ‘the water and not trom any signal tendered eh the starter. Mr, Kade has named his dog “Now Then,” and he tells a very interosting story of the manner in which he first discovered the powerfal merits of hig wnimal in water, It appears trom his account that being some distance off Margate in a buat, accompanied by the dog, he unfortunately lost his two scuils, and how to reach the shore he was at a loss to know for some time, until the bright idea struck him of utilizing the animal, This he did by means of a pocket hand- kerchiof, which he attached to the collar of “Now Then,” who was known to retriove well in water, and, As a ineans of keeping him in tho right direction, his owner cut the stretcher up into numerous pieces and so throw them just ahead of the dog, who, being thus encouraged on his way, successtully towed the boat ta shore, ‘Now The: a haif-bred retriever, is black, and shows remarkable strength in tho forearm, while his paws, when spread, are unusually largo, and, swimming, the whole of back is visible, A alt mile had becn marked out with flags course, and at a fow minutes past six the dog leaped olf the punt, his owner leaning over the stern of a skit whieh preceded the animal, enticed him with cooked liver, and in the half mimute allowed he: travelled nearly orty yards, the speed with which ho. propelicd himself being particularly noticeable. Parker slightly reduced the gap in 300 yards, but, keeping a beautifully straight course, the dog began now to pusitively draw away, and, to the chagrin of the swimmer’s backers, At the end of about 450 yards the dog was soventy ahead, After this Parker oused, and never again went at top speed to the end of the journey, the dog thus winning yery easily In 14m. 33—London Sportsman, Septem 4 VERY AWKWARD FOR THEODORE, From reports current yesterday it would appear that Mr. Theodore Tilton was mixed up in a disagreeable affair on tho First Atiantic express yesterday morning while on bis way trom Albany to Now York. From what the porter states it would appear that Mr, Tilton loft his sleeping berth in order to request him (the por- tor) not to black the boots so near him, as it disturbed nis sleep. Upon rotarning it is alleged that Mr. Tilton did pot find his way to his own berth, but to the lower one, which was already occupied. When the train reached Kast Alban. gentleman inquired for the pre- vious occupant of tho berth into which it im alleged that Mr, Tilton got, and upon being shown to it saw Tilton, but not the person he was search of, Upon being assured that the sought one was the berth, he returned, satisfied himselt of the fact and would, it seems, have proceeded to pistol Mr. Tiltos had he not been prevented. He, however, visited hit marital wrath upon Mr, Tilton’s face, The latter is rev to have stated that he got into the vorth by ke, an explanation which does not seem to have satisfied the rnfuriated husband, and tt ps xt likely that the case may occupy tho al ion of the courts, The story has received ail kinds of embellishments, but reports seom to conlirm the correctness of the facts nbove stated.
