The president stood upon the rear platform and bowed pleasantly to the assem- bied multitude.

At all points the inhabitaots were out in force, waving flags, handker- chiefs, shouting and eheering. No feature of the entertaining panorama was lost or unen- joved by the president and wife. To every ‘welcoming demonstration they made a court- eous acknowledgement, At Altoona there was a roaring crowd, filling every inch of the immense platform an{ allthe open rezion about, The president stevped down to che platforn and an attempt was made to pass the multitude before him to give an opportunity for nandshaking, bnt disvite the commands, thireats, entreaties, and even blows of those who tried to manage the af- fair, the people surged ahead from both sides and in front as well.

There was not a sign of intentional rudeness throughout, but notwithstanding the good na- ture and well-meant enthusiasm, the hope is warranted that better arrangements will be made ahead. ‘The president —admit- te as he reentered his car that he had never had quite such an experlence before. The only thing he re- gretted, however, was that such arrange- ments had not been iwade as would have given a greater number an opportunity to meet him. At a point ealled Grapeville the train was halted and the occupants sum- moned to the rear platform.

A start was made, however, and every one ot the 23,000 spectators saw as square a race as was ever sailed in any water. It was precisely at 10:30 a. m. that the pre- paratory signal was ¢iven. At that time ex cursion boats and steam yachts had eathe cred about the line, making a gala-day pict- ure. When the gun was given to start at 10:40 the Thistle was nearer the line and went away nearly four lenzths ahead of the Volunteer, ‘The time of the start was Thistle, 10:40:21; Volunteer, 10:40: ‘They went over the starboard tack and the Volnnteer began at once to out-point and out-foot her opponent. The course was north-northeast for twenty miles to wind- ward and return before the wind. The weathering qualities of the yachts were seen at once. The Volunteer out- pointea the cutter by nearly two points and won the race by the masterly manner in which shéwent to windward. ‘The first tack of seven miles virtually decided the race, the Volunteer beating to the windward of the Thistle in a way that satistied all the specta- tors who knew anything about it that the American boat would wi The Volunteer not only out-pointed her rival but out-feoted her as well. Tack after tack showed that the sloop was beatinz the cutter. There could be no mistake about it.

On the run before the wind the Thistie beat the Volunteer 2 min- utes and 5414 seconds. After the race Mr. Bell admitted the Volunteer, with her centerboard, had fairly beaten the Thistle in thrashing to windward.

[Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennsft] LoNDON, Sept. 30.—(New York Herald Cable-*pecial to the BEk.|]—So strong was the excitement on this side about the race that even the English weather sympathized. All day there were mists, light fogs, rain and a south wind of twenty miles’ veloeity. The Commercial eable furnished the exchange telegraph proprietors’ ticker with constant details, ‘The brokers forsook the rising Mexican bonds, sporting men dropped Rous’ memorial stakes from their attention and Bow street loungers betook themseclves to the oftice of the (ilobe, the Sporting Life and the Sportsman, where bulleting fron the Commercial cable were dis- vlayed.

[Copyright 1857, by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, Oct. L—[New York Herald Cable-Special to the BEE.|~Thus the Tele- gram begins an editorial dead march on the event: “We are whipped. The Volnnteer has for the second time beaten the Thistle and that cup, which it was the hope and praver of every amphibious Briton to re. cover from the Americans must now remain with them. How long the trophy will be proudly retained there, none can tell. We can hardly expect to send over a stouter or more promising challenger than the Scotch cutter and she has been handsomely defeated in the first two courses out of three.” The paper concludes a very long comment thus: “She is defeated but not disgraced. Indeed we should like notuing better than to see her repeat the challenge next year. For with steadier weather we believe she might re- deem the honor of our yachting flags ena bring the coveted cup away from Sandy Hook.” ‘The Chronicle regards the defeatas con- clusive, but drops this anchoring comfort: *It may be that the captain of the Volunteer was able, for obvious reasons, to steera truer course in his own waters, but we must wccept the defeat witn good grace.”’ ‘The Nuortsman prints an excellent map and In the course of an article says: “A de- feat of the most decisive character was in- flicted upon the Thistle and it has now been pretty clearly demonstrated that the type of yachts built on theé American side are much swifter than those of Gireat Britain. The Dally News concludes a gonerous arti- cle with these sentences: ‘‘We adhere to our opinion that England has to learn a lesson from America in this braneh of ship building and we had better set abont learning it at once, The moral of our hve and thirty years of fairly continuous disastrous defeats ought not longer to be ignored.” The Times alone showssome ill humor and observes: ‘It Is desirable for the inter- ests of yachtsmen in both countries that the cup should oceasionally change hands and it would certoinly bea greater triumph for American yachtsmen to win it in English waters than to retain it in their own.” The Standard shows a little ginger also and concludes: “The Volunteer has beaten the Thistle fairly and squarely on the latter's merits as she was when she sailed and would probably continues to doso. Butthat the result at all represents the Thistle’s real form we may be permitted to doubt, although at present in the dark as to the cause of her sur- prising falling off from what she has shown herself capable of performing.” Kansas City 10, Omatn 2. ‘The Omaha base ball club for 1557 is dead, and in its dylng throes yesterday afternoon the fact that the end was near was aoparent to all who were present.

St Louts, Sept. 80.—The evacuation of this city by therank and file of the and Army bean last nightand to-day the tented fields are deserted with the exception of a few men here and there, ‘The encampment will close to-night with a grand camp fire and fireworks and a banquet to the dele- ates, At a meeting of the encampment this morning the report of the inspector general was adopted with slight amendment. The committee on resolutions reported back the resolutions offered by Vandervoort in regard to the veto of the dependent pen- sion bill, and the pension to Mrs. Logal recommending the adoption of that part r ferring to Mrs. Logan’s pension and the re- jection of the balance. ‘That portion of Vandervoort’s resolution which was reported adversely upon is in three sections, which state in substance that “While no body of citlzens can have a more exalted respect for theoflice of president of the United States than we, yet this does not obscure our perception to blame the unworthy acts of the incumbent of that high position or deprive us of the right of criticism. While we recognize that disapproval of any measnre i3 his constitu- tional prerogative, we cannot feel that this involves also the privileze of going beyond the brunds of that power to ofticially insult or slander broken-down and needy wen to whom the nation owes cverything, "The last resolution states at length that in vetoing the dependent pension bill, “which was the least measure of justice that could nave been asked, and did not represent a tith of what is due those gallant men,” the president has violated a pledge made to the soldiers when they flocked to the ald of the country at the time of her greatest peril, has thwarted the express will © of & grateful people and inflicted ir- reparable eruelty upon tiose who should be the subjects of the tenderest co sideration and the bill would have rescue thousands of deserving soldi from the cold charity of almshouses.” After_the report of the committee was made, Vandervoort opened the debate on the matter, claiming that the Grand Army should'have the couraze of its convictions and vote as thev feit on this question. Grosvenor, of Ohio, spoke in favor of the report and said he bad as much feeling upon the pension question as any other man, but he stood as a representative of a body of men greater than the president of the United States, greater than the con- gress of the United States and more digni: fied in their utterances than the president had shown himself to be. He said the ques- tion was wore important than any other that had been submitted; that the question was what the encampment ought to do—whether it ought to make platf.rms for political par- ties or state its position in a dignitied man- ner, as though there never had been a pres dent of the United States. The Grand Army should stand as & mountain stands upon the plains, regardless of the coyotes at the foot of it, projlmwming in majesticewords that it wasin favor of this pension legislation and qu«. d to every attack upon the inter- ests of soldiers, After some further debate Vandervoort's amendment was overwhelminzly defeated and the ralmn of the committee adopted by a vote of 81K to 173, The committee presented majority and minority reports on tie 85a month, or ser- vice pension bill.

Lina- han, of New Hampshire. General Lawrence Donahue was elected sergbant geéneral and Rev. Edward Anderson was elected chap: lain-in-chief. When the committee on rules and regula- tions submitted their report the proposition to enable a class of persons toenter the order who had served 1n the field but never had been mustered into the service was defeated. The committee on the Logan monuinent reported, recommending that a fund be pro- vided for an equestrian statue at Washing- ton.

General Crook Lays the Whole Blame On the Whit WasmiNaros, Sept. 80.—The war depart. ment has received General Crook’s report of the recent Ute Indian trouble in Colorado.

Another conflict was precivitated, in which ~ two whites were killed ' and soveral — wounded. One Indian was killed and tive fatally wounded.
