The Roughest Game Ever Seen in America. hundred young geatiomen worrlog the son of Hal Yard gathered at the grounds of the St George's i Cricket Club, Hoboken, N. J., yesterday alteruoon, to ‘Witness the first game of football of the season be- ‘ween those colleges, In addition to the throng of stu- denis there were severa) hundred spectators, many of the number being of the fair ex, who came to the scene of the battle im carriages. The rules uuder which the teams played were “The Amended Rugby.” Owing to the heavy rain of Friday the ground was some- what heavy, and along the foul line to the right of the Meld there were large pools of water and consid- erable mud. At each end of the level stretch of turt was the goal—iwo posts, twonty-flve feet high, about Ailtcen feet apart, and ten feet up the post ts a cross bur, To win a goal the bail is to be kicked over the bar. A “touch down’? ts where the ball is carried ber yond the goal line und touched to the ground, Three touch downs equal a goa! under the present college rules, Play was continued one hour and @ ball, with @ breathing spell at “half sime,” or when forty-five minutes were called, the rest not belag included. READY VOR BUSINESS, Tho Princeton boys were early on the ground, They wore black caps, orange shirts, and !n some instances white knit sbirts over the orange, black knee pants and orange stockings, Harvard’s representatives were not iate, ‘They rode over trom New York, reaay dressed in their woll known uniforms—white caps with crimson border, crimson sbirts, white breeches and crimeon stockings, The teams were average size, though both contain a few light men, The respeciive captaina carefully placed the players, Captuin Dodge, of the Princetons, selecting the Murdy Bradtord, °81; Ballard, ‘80; Stevens, '73; Uiark, 178; Devereux, ’80; Lony, ’81; Lee, ’80; Enos, '78, aud Wyilly, '79, a8 the “forwards,” those who were to dothe charging and coliaring—the real rough work of the contest. Half way back camo Irving, ’78; Dodge, '79, and McNair, 70—men that would not shirk and are fleet of foot. Noar the goal were the “backs’—Van Dyke, 78; Cutts, '80, and Minor, ’7% Tothe latter is the responsibility of ae- fending tho fortress, and cool, nervy men are do- manded, With equaicare Captain Cushing stationed his fifteen:—Ybayer, ‘73; Littauer, °78; Perry, 29; Holmes, '79; Cushing, 79; Swilt, 79, and Cushing, M. 8., were the forwards; Austin, 79; Blanchard, M. S.; Harrington, M.S.; Houston, ’79, and Holden, "80, were the bail-vacks. Bucon, ’80; Lombard, '78, and Wethervee, 78, were near the goal, Mr. Rossle, °79, was Princeton’s umpire; Mr. Barlow, 79, held like position for Harvard, aod Mr. Seamon, 79, of Har- ward, was agreed upon as releree, aT WOKK. Precisely at half-past two o'clock game was called, Princeton baving won the toss, and piucing Harvara to the sun and against the wind, which blew a gale. Blanchard, of Harvard, kicked off, and the bull wen whizzing and snapping against the wind down foward Princeton's goa Dodge caught it aod passed it over to another orange, when thero wasa rush, the first scrimmage, and a Marvard catching the leather fairly on the eud of his toes sent it out of bounds. 11 was secured by a Princeton, and im- mediately piay was resumed, hot work being the word" Three pretty rough and tumbles occurred in as many Minutes, and a magnificent run by Wetherbee, of the crimsons, and a grand forward kick by Bianchura, sent the ballin such dangerous proximity to Prince- VWOn’s iortress, the latier fought with determination, tud Sally, getting possession o! the leather, Cutts ran bebind the goal iine and touched jor gulety. Now the toutest began in deep earnestness, Tne ball beiug kicked toward the Harvard lives, there was beautiiul play by the majority of the men Here acrimson-with the bail under bis arm was going like a quarter horse down the centre of the fleld, kuocking men of orange down us il they were only reeds, until lis swimming career was sudaeuly ended by a stalwart Princeton buck charging bim, when each measured their lengih ou the wel ground, and others rushing in, there was @ mass of men writhing like eels on (he bull, Again, bn the right or left of the fold « magnificent straignt shot kick would be mado by one, then another, aud the leacber being caught, back it would go like a ritlo bail until stopped, when there was another rush, erimsou aud ofauge on top ofeach other or taruing bonitnersaults or stauding on their beads, but yetkeep- ing tight bold of the object until “down” was called. ‘Yuen the buys would uutwist themselves, and, with Smiles all over thuir tuces, recommence the terribly earnest business. The players who distinguished themselves at this juncture were, Houston, Wether. bee, Blunchard and Lettauer, of the Harvards, aud Dodge, Cutts, Van Dyke aud McNair, of the Prince tons. For iully thirty minutes they ran and tumbiea euch other over without advantage on either side, Now the vali was kicked dowu tue eld into Princeton territory by a crimson “Jorward,”” Huimes, of the Har. varos, Deing there to secure il, aud, rushing toward the fortress deteuded by the orange ‘lids, he sent all Opponents spinuing right and jeit, some on thelr bucks and some on thelr heads, and ‘managed against ail obstacles to rush bebind the goal posts and obtain the firet ‘touch down’ ior Howard, “Rab-rau- tah,’? shouted the Cambridge gentiemen, Prince- Wo did not relish the situation, But in the wry lor gouis by ‘the Harvards, the — kick veing made by Captain Cushing, he failod to iit the dull over the crossbar, and Priiceton felt relieved ut ibeir narrow escape. “Twelve minutes more, during which there were brilivant ruos and comtre plays by Louy, Bradford, Sieveus uud Cutis, of the orange juckets, und stern work vy ail the Hurvards, the game progressed, when “bait Lime?’ Was cailes, and Lhe boys Hopped to rest and eat lenons, The appearance ot the men was not particularly handsome.

Lima, October 12, 187° My Inst despatch conveyed the mourniul intelll- gence of the death of Mr, Henry Meiggs fhe tuneral ceremonios were the most imposing ever witnessed in Peru After the boay had veen carefully embalmed {t was deposited in a superb casket richly ornamented, And this placed in one of the spacious saloons of the mansion, hung with biack and silvor, and fra- grant with the perfume of beautiful tropical flowers, Resting on a velvet covered base the casket was surrounded with lighted candles, and for twelve hours guarded by men from the Lima Fire Company, ot which Mr. Meigs was an honorary membor, These firemen from the first tothe last proved their gratl- tude for the benefits received at the bands of their dead friend, The scene was solemao, The sombre hangings of the room, relieved by the scarlet uniforms of the guards and the numerous lights; the varied forms of the floral tributes scat, tered in profusion not only on the coilln, buc in all quartera of the extensive house; the immonse crowd of people, of all ranks and qualities, who thropged to pass through the chamber where the remains were rosting, alibough the sad satisfaction of viewing tho features of the de- cvased was denied, and the gedulue manil tions of grict and sympathy—all contributed'to the impressive character of the occasion, This was on the 2d inst, It ig the custom in Peru to remove the body trom the house to the church where the requiem m: ig to be sung the night before the day fixed for the funeral, and as the hour approached tor the translation of the remains to the spacious Church of Vur Lady of Mercy, one of the grandest temples In South America, the concourse of people steadily increased, the tide set- tung in from even the most distant suburbs of tho city toward the streets through which the cortége was to pass, EN ROUTR 70 THE CHURCH, At ten o’clock the signal was given and the massive coflin 1ifted on the shoulders of a number of the ope! atives of the Oroya Ratiway, who insisted on this tribute of affection. Proceeding slowly down the wide marble staircase of tho house, in order to gain the main street, the spectacle presented was worthy ol the weird pencil of Salvator Rosa. The coffin itsel!, covered with white flowers, appeared swaying to and fro on the shoulders of the bearers, whose beads were almost hidden by the floral wealth, On either side were gleaming the gaudy unilorms of the firemen, red, green and obiue, for the Lima Com- pany had been reintorced by the En; lish, French and Italian brigades, all bearing torches, woose light was strangely redlected back rom the dead, wnie Walls; the sombre yarb of the priests and acolytes, Who lined the staircase, giving a mysti- cai background to the stream of color that Was pass- ing down, and the cuorus of lamentauons arising from tue mauy dependants on the bounty of the dead mau—women, children and invalids who, from the courtyard of the house, lifted up their voices in dis- tregs—ihe Whole scene Was one to be remembered for alifetime, With difficulty was the line of march con- tinued to the church, some ix squares distant. At every few paces the great weight of the coffin rendered a change of bearers necessary, aud the throng- ing crowd, eager to be near the remains of their iriend, often impeded the forward movement, At last the portals of the Merced were reached, and the com- munity, robed in black vestments, saliied {orth to meet the guusts, The stately chante, plaintive yet noble in their cadence, were sung, and the body deposited under guard in the principal gave of the cuurch, where it was to remain uutil 8 next morning. Tue crowa siowly dispersed, and difficulty experienodd in traversing the streets immediately udjacent to the church, so densely were they occupied. The continuous glare of the torchos cast @ brightuess like that of sunlight on the scene. THE LAST RITES O¥ TUX CHURCH. At six o'clock on the morning vf tho 8d the alsies of the temple were already rapidly Ulling with people anxious to witness the last rites of the Church over her great sou. At ten o’ciock, when tho family of the deceased arrived, represented by his sons und by several of bis must prominent associates, the en- trance was nearly biocked up, and guards of firemen were placed at the doors to avert danger, The church was sutmptuously draped with black velvet hangings, relieved by silver ornaments, representing The altar and sacristy were strewn with bea tuul flowers, und the cofn, bieh on pedestal, surrounded with lights, The best musical taleut in Lima had been engaged to take part in the ceremony, aud critics assert that never bus the melody of the requiem mass of Mozurt been more skilfully rendered in Peru than on wns occasion High up in the dome of the church appeared tho American and Peruvian banners, interwaven aud tppropriately draped. Presiding over tue ceremony were the Minister of the United Star the Hone Richard Gibbs; slinor and Henry Meigs, the only sur- viving sons of the deceased, und Mr. Robertson, to whom bis only duughter was recently espoused. Great tact was shown in the selecuion of those who were to be honored with the position o! paiibearers, His most trusted associates and co-workers were chosen, led, a3 was natural, by the representative of his nation, Mr. Gibbs, tho pall wus supported by Messrs, Cilley, Rand, Thorndike, Malinowski, Dubois, Sartori and Garci-Caideron, all men of prommence und intimately connected with tuose wonderful enter- prises which have placed the glory of Henry Meiggs at such un enviable height, During the service no eulogy Was pronounced, it being usual here to make sh Utlerunces in Lue Cemetery tell, a8 indced Was eloquently done over the coflln. ‘THE FUNKRAL PROCKSSION, The President of the Republic sen: his aides to repre- sent him, The Ministers of State, foreign envoys and consuls, men who are leadera in Lima aad Callao, many ot the foremost ladies of the capital (aud women ure seldom seen at funerals here), came to join in the Jumentations aud at Wweaame time congraculations of the Chureh, When the strains of Stragelia’s “Per Pree” Tung through the Vaulted arches of the tomple there Were DOue preseut Who did hot unite in the supplica- tion, Oue of the most affecting incidents occurred when the attempt Was made, alter the conciusion of tue mass, to place the body ia the hearse destined to convey it to tw cemetery, some two miles distant.

An alarming shock of earthquake was felt in Lima and 1n Caliao at about two o’clock on the morning of the 9th inst. The alarm created w. from the violence of the snock than from its long duration. The undulation was clearly perceptible from north to south, and many parties in Lima de- clare that 1t lasted more than a minute, but this, we think, 18 ap extravagant estimate, The sensation created by this phenomeaon was not unlike that pro- duced by the memorable earthquake o! the 9th of May last, According to telegrams published by the Comer cio on the 9b inst, the earthquake op the morning of that day was severoly felt in Pisco, lca and Chincha, There were two heavy shocks which occurred at tweaty minutes past two A, M., and they caused great alarm among the Inhabitants, THE CLEOPATRA ADRIFT. VIOLENCE OF THE STORM AND FATAL COURAGE OF THE MEN SENT TO THE RESCUE—NAMES o¥ THE LOST, FaLmoutH, Oct, 12, 1877. My telegrams of last night and to-day will have jald before you the melancholy tale in connection with the conveyance of the Cleopatra's Needle to England. All appours to bave gone well both on board the Viga and the Cleopatra, which tho Olga bad in tow, until about Saturday alternoon jast, when the weather becamo thfeatening. There was not much alarm felt as to the seagoing capabilities of the Cleopatra, The Cleopatra for her crew had eight Maltese sailors, commanded by Captain Carter, an old and experiencea Peninsular and Oriental com- manuder, About early morning a gale sprang up, the wind Increasing furiously, so that by five o’clock, when off Cape Finisterre, there wasa perfect storm, wind soathwest, sea fearfully high and dangerous. The barometer, which had stood at noon at 29 76, was Bteadily failing, By evening the storm was oven worse, and at six o’clock P, M, the Cleopatra was thrown on her beam ends by a tremendous sea, Her crew did all they could to right her, cutting the mast away, but all their efforts were trite There sue jay on bor beam ends, and on board tho Olga it was thought sie would founder, Siguals of distress were now made from the Clevpatra, and about ten P. M. there seemed atrifliug lull, and at once six of the crow ol the Olga, baving their sccond mate, Mr. Will Asken, a uutive of Liverpool, who ts described as a Splendid and brave young fellow, volunteered to go to the rescue, To launch a boat into that seatb- ing mass of foam was no eusy task, but ihe deed was done, and on sped tue brave fellows on their orrand of mercy, They were watched with breathiess interest. All seemed well, Tbey bad reached tho side of the Cleopatra, when, with one fell sweep, the boat is swamped, the living freight are struggling in that Taging Wutor, and that is all we can say. We hovo tbey may be found, but we can only hope. The sad probability is they are jos. ‘A DREAVFUL SIGHT. The men on board the Viga, buving seen the awful late of their comrades, were struck with horror, wud Captain Boosts could not permit a second attempt in that awiul watery strife, There lay the Cleopatra, the seu sweeping her as sho lay ou her beam ends, hor lights out, and “Now, atone o’clock on Monday moru- Jug, the crew of the Oiga are reluctantiy obiiged to cue the tow rope, as the Cleopatra hus no lights on board aod i 18 feared that tuey may strike each other with fatal rosulié.'’ Here the Cl tra bad to be lett to drift; UL the Olga kept us close as possible until seven o’cloek. Monday morning, At this time Captain Booth, by a clever pigce of seamanship, brought his vessel very heur the Cleopatra, Aline Was sent across, and by this means a bout from tue Oiga was passed to the Cleopatra, The crew got m and were pulied across to the Ulga, Where they felt at least safe, The Olga, alter this rescue, weut in search of the miseing bout’s crew; Lut notling could be seen of boat or crew, though thoy did manage to pick up a boathoox, The Cleopatra was thon searched tor, but nothing could ve en of ber. Several hours wore takea up in this search, and at one P, M. on Monday 1t was abandoned, the supposition being that she had foundered, When last seen the “Needle! was im lat. 4463 north and lon, 7 62 west.

Yoaterday dawned rather !nauspiciously for the Long Isiand fox hunters, but the day’s good performance belied the morning’s poor promise, The blustering gale of the night before had been wild and tempestuous enough to suggest the unroofing of halt the barne im the neighborhood and the disappearance of all mova ble things ‘rom the surface of Hempstead plains, still at daybreak the winds had not wholly spent their tury, With rare strength and continuity the storm that bad howled all pight through the woods skirting the broad Plain and dashed to earth the last lingering leaves of autuma, leuving the gaunt branches to point their skeleton Ongera in mute protest against such rude Sport, still lingered to toy with the fallen leaves and scatter them as an embroidery on the well sprinkled turf. Window ebutters, that throughout the night had banged and slapped lke a mufiled echo of the roll of musketry coming from the distance, still rattle alittle more faintly. The sky was clear, however, and there was some prospect that the breeze would lessen materially before noun, and thus let the scent je better. And so it happenea, to the great gratiica Won of the hunting man, Fortunately, tue sandy soi! hereaboute bad ewallowed Up Most of the rain (bat Dad so detuged the fields the day vofore, though in spots, where there was no sand ang the soi! was light, the ground was yet very soft and Bpong: The hour of meeting was one o'clock P. M., the place Hewlett’s Hotel, Hempstead. It was a cou day in town, and this, combined with the fact that th day was the last Saturday before the olection, ug doubt contributed to attract a larger crowd than might have gathered to see an ordinary meet. Whether this bo the case or not it ig certain the attendance of non» participants in the chase was greater than at any time Since the bunts commenced. When the first horsemen Joggea down Yhe math streets of Hempstead toward the place of rendesvous, shortiy betore one o'clock, there were neade thrust out of every window on either side, and ranged along the sidewalks were (ringes of bystanders that swelled to bantering, chatty crowds in front of and gpposite the hoteL Because {t was Saturday, too, the school boys had a holiday, and of course they were on hant to see the hounds. The horsemen on vad trooped into a yard near the hotel, and lot of the lookors on followed. Hore brides saddles and curb bits on the hunters were inepecte with some curiosity. The style in which the midort eat their horses was @ matter of some surprise many of the crowd, who could not understand wh, the stirrups were so short. They bad evidently na idea that a horse should be ridden in other than mille tary style, with very long stirrups, All this while | wagons were coming up by the dozen and the smal) boys were squirming about in out of the way placca and putting themselves as nearly under tho legs of the borses as they could conveniently get by the aid of that ceaseless onergy peculiar to the gaping juvenile, The restloss, eager studs champed ana stared at thie unwonted scene, and each seemed quite willing to. trample a modorate proportion of small boy, so for a me things were quite brisk and exhilarating, How the mothers of these boys would have rejoiced to see the fun! At one o’clock about a dozen horsemen had) gathered at the rendezvous, There wera in red coat cords and tops, Mr, Belmont Purdy, Mr. E, Zvorowsk{ and Mr. Robert Center; im dark coats, with boots and _ cords, wero Mr. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., Mr, Frost and | Mr. S Sauds, Mr. Clarcuco Levey was also preseaty » wearing @ dark green bunting coat. To completo the gathering there algo assembled three or :our youths ot the neighborhood, on nugs of tho general utility order. THR HOUNDS ARRIVE. For the first time Mr. F. Gray Griswold, the Master of the Hounde, kept the fleld waiting, but the delay was very brief, About five minutes atter one o'clock ‘his piuk coat was seen approacuing trom the direction ot the kennel, the pack troting at his horse's heels, and Fitzpatrick, the Whip, bringing up the r As hundred cheery voices announced their approach, “Here they come,” was the cry, aod shouts borders tug on a cheer greeted their advance. ‘'ben-there wag the usual fags preparatory to the start, It tea curious thing that tho exact length of a stirrup, the accurate set of acurb chain, In short the entire preparation ine cident to a dash across country is scarcely ever dos termined unul the moment before the start, Wheo these little preliminartes bad been dispatched one afe ter ano: her the horsemen moved into the street and formed a circle, tuto the coutre of which the bounds passed after their muster. It was fortunate, too, that some little precaution of this sort was taken eise thi young men in buggies would have driven over t dogs in their eagerness to get into the front ravk of observers. The attentions of the ly proving rather pressing, it wus decided to move ior ward without delay. Consequently the circle opened atthe west side, and, closely followed by a Jostuing crowd of wagons that threatened one another with do« Btruction, Mr. Griswold trotsed out in the direction of Dietz’s woods, to the northwest of the town. ‘The horsemen closely followed, the wagons camo nex and the whole town seemed to be on the road alte: them, It was a pretty long and quite a lively procession, presenting oa the whole a very lively pice lure, something like the road to a country side race meeting on a big day. About a quarter of a mile from the town the cavalcade balted and the huntsman prepared to throw off. Through an open gate to tha southward the hounas and huntsmen passed. Att crossing a ficld or two the dogs ran along the edgo of the wood. Presently their hea were turned toward the east, and alter some litt! time the low whine of the legders announced the find, First they dashed eastward, then turned toward the north, then they ran 10 a northwesterly direction, Tne fences were mostly low at the start, but the course of the hounds was marked by some very sharp turos, and horses were not unfrequently confronted quite suddenly by the jumps, This led to sevoral retugais at the very bogiuning of tho run, leav- ing the slow ones carly at @ disadvantage, Though im most cases these difficuities wore speedily overcome the majority of the Held found that tho pack baa already gained considerably. The hounds are evidently Improving, and ran better for t practice they have bad thus far, Alter pursuing the way some distance to the northwest they wound around easiward, and fivaily brought down the fox jn the open, about 1 @ milo to the eastward of Hempsiead, and within full view of tho kennol, r. Griswold, Mr Zvorowski and the Whip had kept with the pack throughout, and though Mr. Zvorowsk! had a muddy aud consequently a sott cropper, bis plucky horseman. ship procured him tse brush. Mr. Center and Mr, Frost cach gotapadand the mask, as usual, wont to the Kennel. ON THK ROADS. It was a marvel thi ral serious accidents did not occur ou the roads, so rapid was the driving at Limes anu gv closely crowded were the vehicle. As it happened, only one wagon was upset, whose driver's head was somewhat damaged, The observers on toot also escaped more by the intervention of a special providence than the exercise o: a wise distrotion At the cover side the boys fairly swarmed in lount of the nol sometimes standing, a it transfixed, close by the feuces in line with tbe advancing tlelds Shouts and cautions seemed only to confuse them and stimulate tae already warm horses to an almost un+ covtrollabie state of excitement, When the feld bad drawn out of this danger avother confronted 1, Th¢ wagons were strupg out along two roads, across which the dogs wero passing und into which the riders were obliged to Jump tn order to pursue the chase, All thig necessitated careful riding and a slower pace than somo desired, lt, however, showed tho need of caus tion and the exercise of judgment at the beginning, THK RESULTS, All things considered the run proved to be an exe cellent one, satisfying all who kept it in view for any distance, To bave seen very much of it from any one of the roa ir by those not well up in the & ‘Was simply impossivie, The chase led over unduiat Ing ground and tn and out between dense bits of woods that must have wholly shut out the view [rom those not close on the dogs, Altogether it was a day to go with the dogs for sport or run not after them. The next meeting will be at Garden City, on Tuese day, the 6b inst, (election day), when a big Geld, iny ciuding several Iadies and a good run, aro confldently expected to reward the patrons of the chase, POOLSELLERS CORNKRED, The Grand Jury ot Hudson county handed into the Court of Oyer and Terminer at Jersey City yesterday 112 indictments, including one against Keokert, thé wifo murderer, of West Hoboken, In response to an inquiry of Judge Knapp tho toreman stated that tue Jury bad fnisbed tts work and now desired to be dise charged, The Jury ten conterred a ew moments among themselves, atter which Judge Kuapp looked over the tudietn He then, in @ somewhat lengthy aad: MC ible, 1 | persone ong ve the business of pooiseiiing in Jersey City.
