The Madge and the Scud were also riding at anchor
there the former being gay decorated with flags and
sreamers Owing to some Misunderstanding in regard
to men these vesselswere not entered for the
race much the disappointment of many persons, as
both of them belong to Philadelphia. The Fanny and
Stella were withdrawn, aud made no attempt to start
with tie others. Before the yachts ready to get
under weigh, there were fifteen steamboats, loaded
with passengers and bands of music and innumerable
small sailing craft waiting in the stream to accompany

clouds began break away by this time, and fresh

New-YoIk side under full sail. AT 10 clock and Az

which they lay, the Rowena having the channel, and
being followed by the Mallory and the Manersing At
1880 the Rebecea, Restless Haze, Dawn and Bonita
get under weigh ard at 1855 the Zinga and Favorta
were off. The steamboats, then started down the
Bay; but tie wind dying away and the sailing vessels
coming TO a stand-s they all waited for them. Near
" two hours were lost in the almost perfect calm, In
reaching point just below the Battery. Here fresh
breeze sprung w from the southwest and was first
caught by the GeDgary and she sped away before it,
putting long distance between her aud the others.
The Alpha was the next to feel it, abd she came up

FRUIT.-The crop of apples will be larger
than any we have had tor five years-perhaps
larger than any within ten or twelve years
Much of the summer fruit, fully one-half, has
been lost. The supply of Williams and Sweet
Bough apples has been ample to supply the
demand, and they have monopolized the mar.
ket to the exclusion of all inferior kinds which
have not been wanted, and in many cases
have not realized the cost of transportation.
The Sweet Boughs are now passing away but
the Williams is in its prime, and magnificent
specimens grace the fruit shops and stands
now, as they have for fortnight past The
supply of summer pears has not been large
and they are not much wanted, as they keep
but few days, and most of them are of inferior
quality. Bartletts begin to come in, and the
supply and demand will both be large. The
crop was never larger. Winter fruit will be in
large supply and of excellent quality if the
trees are not shaken heavily by September
gales. We quote Williams apples So so per
Dbl. Sweet Boughs and Orange or Hartford
Sweets, which are now taking the place of the
Bough, So per Dbl. Bartlett Pears 81 to SO a
bushel, according to quality; Dearborn's
Seedlings So to So so. Peaches from New
York are in great supply and sell from So to
So bushel, helatter extra size and quality.

THE EXCURSION PARTY to Boston and Ma
liant, on Saturday, numbered about five hun
dred, filling twelve cars. They were an hour
and forty minutes in going, and an hour and
fifty minutes in returning from Boston, the
engine entering the passenger house here at
$50 P. NJ. This rapid transit gave the excur-
sonists ten hours IN Boston, Or beyond, and
enabled them to reach their homes in due
season. The day itself was all that could
have been desired for such a trip. We heard
but one expression from the participants, and
that was of satisfaction. The ride down Bos-
ton harbor is always one of great interest, not
only because of the many objects in sight
which have national or local Importance, but
on account of the renewed evidence each view
gives us of the steady prosperity and rising
importance of our chief New England city.
That such company should have found high
enjoyment in such voyage, was expected
and was experienced. And of Mr.. Abram
Firth, the obging and ever thoughtful agent
of the Worcester railroad, many good things
are said, and always will be by parties who
are favored with his superintendent.

number mentioned as not much above the
truth. Whole streets were lying in ruins, and
desoation and silence reigned in quarters
where, a few months ago, all was life and ac-
tyity. The city seemed half deserted by its
inhabitants, and the deep gloom which rested
upon the countenances of those who remained,
told Of the scenes OF terror through which
they had passed.
