THE SETTLEMENT OF GLEN COVE. |. |.

The Bi.Centenuial Celebration Yesterday.
The bi.centennal celebration of the settlement Of
Glen Cove, which was to have taken place on satur-
day last was postponed until yesterday, owing to
the inclement condition Of the weather on the
original day appointed. Among the many and beau
tfu villages Of which Long Island characteristicay
boasts, Glen Cove Is in no degree secondary
specimen for beauty OF location, pcturesqueness and
design. The manner in which the village is modelled
Is at once sufficient to convince visitor Of the fact
and enhance the pleasure of strangers visit The
village is bountfully provided with fresh aud salt
waters the former being kept In the best and neatest
manner and supplying at the proper seasons OF the
ton to the feasting table, The river is damned
at points, and the tidal waters supply the place
which the "6ove" is noticeable and which give
abundance Of employ to laboring people, The viii
lage s accessible by boat from New York and by the
Long Island Railroad at various hours OF the day,
and the peope seemingly availed themselves OF the
opportunity by either mode of transit be present;
for at an early hour the streets lined by those
who were not particularly interested in the formali-
ties to be observed and also by those who were to
take active part in the exercises and which occa-
sion was to mark an event in the period of their
lives.
On the oath of May 1853 the chiefs of the MattIne-
cock tribe, SureanemOn and Werch, decided to

and dwelling house thereon. Upon this same strip
Of land now stand the ancient structures which Mr.
Carpenter erected two hundred years ago. and which
were looked upon at that time by the few white set
improvement to the then thinly populated locality
One hundred years ago the centennial celebration
was held; but since that time many human frame
has returned to DUST and the children Of those who
were then oficious In the grand celebration now
assume the roe OF their fathers to celebrate the ami
versary in the same manner
Accordingly at ten O'Clock yesterday morning they
paraded through the principal streets ana then to
the grove where Henry j. Scudder delivered an ora
tion when the assembled group sat down to the
tables well laden with food, which had been prepared
for the OCCASION After dinner tOasts were offered
and responded to for upwards of five hours, when
the party began to gradually disperse, and about
seven the grove, which but few hours previous

Alleged Breacs of C0ntract-A Knotty Case.
Before Judge Batchford.
Joba S. Ray as. The C1ndt Boat ErceIsior.-In this
case it appeared that Hugh Gallagher proposed to
sell the canal boat Excelsior to John S. Ray, and the
parties had actually entered into contract Of sale
for 1000; but although Gallagher was the sole
owner Of the boat, vet he was not able to convey
clean bill OF sale, because she registered in the
name of third party, Mr. Gore, OF Philadelphia. 1t
further agreed by Gallagher to put ON board the
Excelsior at Philadelphia steam engine which Ray
intended to erect in her. and convey boat and all
from Philadelphia 10 New York free OF freight or
other expense except only the canal freight to which
the boat was liable. On the arrival Of the Excelsior
In the North river in April last Mr.. Ray applied to
Gallagher to deliver up the boat and the steam
gine which Gallagher refused to do he could not
convey clean bill Of sale, and Mr.. Gore, In whose
name she was.registered, was lying sick and unable
to execute deed OF conveyance. Mr.. Ray then de-
liver unless he were paid the freight and there being
no contract for freight Ray refused to pay any ex
cep the canal freight referred to- and rendered $40
Tor that purpose which Gallagher refused to re-
ceve. It was provided In the contract OF sale
that in the event Of Gallagher failing to be In New
York on a certain day In April and deliver up the
boat and steam engine board he should forfeit to

menced Judge Blatchford asked what 1t was all

seemed to be an unmeaning absIrdity. Counsel for

TO prove the libeant's case he would undertake to
do SO by proving that OF the claimants The Judge
said, "very wells go on; we shall see." The case

Benedict for claimant,
