A SWIMMING EXCURSION took place at the
Bathing establishment of DIR. Rob, at Hartford,
on Wednesday. The Times there states that
about two Thousand persons, male, and female.
were present and that the river for long dis
tance was filed with boats; giving 10 the
whole scene quite VenitiaH appearance:
Seventeen swimmers entered the lists
nine Americans and eight Germans. Owing
to the late hour at which the bands of music
arrived, the sport did not begin in time to in
troduce the floating supper tables" as had
been announced. The swimmers started
from the Railroad Bridge, at the signal of the
discharge of pistol, and swan down to point
opposite the Bathing observation-disclosures
nearly mile. They came down the river in
fine style, displaying strength and grace of
action in the water that woxld have honored
the most adroit of the amphibious natives of
the Polynesiaa Islands.
The party started, we believe, with no in
tention at race, but the cheering and urging
of the people in the boats drove them into a
trial of speed--and they dashed through the
water at fast rate. We do not learn the
precise time made, but it must have been very
good. Mr.. Ulrich Moli, German came in
ahead. He was followed next in order by a
Yankee, whose name we did not learn. Jo-
seph R. Hawley, Esq, was third in the race
having started behind several and passed
many others The forth best swimmer ap-
peared to be Hermann Macrecklin one of our
German citizens. The rest all came in in good
style having performed the long distance in a
very short time, prize will be presented to
Mr.. Moli.

LIFE IN New YoRK-We find the follow
ing in the New York correspondence Of the
Boston Ccurier:--
yesterday, while standing upon the steps
ofmy hotel, Isaw an immense crowd of peo-
pie approaching from the direction of j ohm
street, two gentlemen with bits in their mouths
and long twine reins attached, with another
gentlemaa, who had long whip, officiating as
driver. Tie horse players looked qritc intent,
and no driver Of a chariot ever wore so ear
nest countcDance as the whip On this occa-
sion. Every body asked every body what
meant this ludicrous display; but no one was
able 10 give a solution of the mystery. The
harnessed men were driven into the Astor
House bar, the driver took the bits out of their
mouths, gave them some liquor, replaced the
bits, whipped up, and made his exit, passing
up Broadway. The three men were well
dressed and most respectable looking; but
their conduct was exceedingly strange.
Though followed by over thousand people
and laughed at every step, they sustained a
firm countenance unto the end of their Jour
ney. | heard, subsequently, that he singu.
lar performance was the result of bet What
would the people of Boston think OF three ol
