thlckct near Montclair last Saturday exclusively
reported in last Mondays HERALD, was resumed
last evening ut the house of Mr.. John Stiles, the
person who found the body while out hunting. A
number oil citizens eager to hear the facts In the
mystery gathered In the vicinity Of the place,
having been denied admission TO the chamber
where the inquest was being held by Coroner JUS
tce Charles Il. Morris. Press representatives from
New York aud Newark were also on hand,
but were denied admission. According to
Mr.. Morris, gentleman Of middle age, but anti
quatcd notions as to the duties and privileges Of
the press, the jurors mad resolved TO hold the In.
quest In secret 80 that, they thought, the ends
Of justice might not be defeated BY publicity Of
the facts. The impression seems to be settled that
Kohmann was murdered, but by whom the jurors
themselves are understood to be ignorant: Tho
man Corby, who II now being looked up by the
police is believed 10 be In possession OF some i'm
portant information on the subject: The people Of

A Combined Cruise for the Small Cabin
and Open SlOops.

In consequence OF the difficulty that Is expert.
enced in getting number OF yachts together for a
cruise from either of the smaller yacht clubs, sug-
gestion has been made that the Harlem, Columbia,
Bayonne, Jersey City, Manhattan, Oceanic, Will
llamsburg and New Jersey Yacht Clubs shall unite
together and make q union cruise lasting three or
four DAYS. at some suitable date, probably
late in September. by the clubs all uniting
together they would probably collect
large fleet, sufficient to make the cruise very
Interesting It would serve to strengthen the
bond of friendship between the yachtsmen
OF the different clubs, and also enable them to have
fair trial of the respective speed of their different
yachts. The fleet might proceed to some OF the
many pleasant harbors on the Sound, hold clam
bake on the second day, q union regatta on the
third and return home on the fourth. The commo-
dorcs OF the different clubs above mentioned are to
meet at the Valley House, on the corner Of Hudson

The Late Race Between tho Rambler and
the Madoleine-A Bost0nian's Opinion as
to the "Particulars'' OF tho Raee-A
Question Of Time and Wind.

Boston, July 20, 1874
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Being on board the Azaiea ut the Lightship on
Brenton's Reef on the 26th when the Madeleine and
the Rambler rounded her, you will excuse me Tor
Offering some criticisms on the account published
In your paper Of the 27th.
The Madeleine, by my watch, Iufred mp in line with
the Lghtship at 1888, the Rambler at 7:53-just
fifteen minutes after, but was longer IN filing away
on her course, about west-southwest. Your corre-
spondent says "1he Madeline came to Iightshtp
and luffed round" &c. 'sThe Rambler was still over
nve miles behind, as when the Madeleine rounded
she was about OF Point JUDITH
In the same breath he gives the time OF rounding
the Lightship, the Madeleine at IN. 23m. 8Os
Rambler, In. 3Sm.-a difference of fourteen and q
half minutes. The time tells the story as to the
distance. II she was over five miles astern sne
must have come up at the rate OF over twenty
the yachts approached the Lightshp they
were going about eight knOts--certainly not
Rambler aen Of the sne G se
We went In the Azalea nearly up. to Point Judith,
and returned toward the Lightshp under easy sail,
going from hye to SIX knots; and, having perfect
view of the whole thing were competent to Judge
of the situation In fact the distance between the
yachts cannot admit OF an argument, excepting for
the benefit of the marines and the ladies'.
The writer ofyour article from New London goes on
we made short stretch on the starboard tack. and
then went In stays, heading for Point Judith" |
have the impression that sne ufed directly round
at the Lightshp, making her first tack toward the
Point, with The wind at south. because we
ran under her lee, heading to the eastward. and
spoke her. The writer says that at loh Am. the
Rambler was about three miles to windward, or
ION the weather quarter" At eleven A. NJ. or
Montauk Point the Rambler was "we up to wind
ward'-sO that 1t is conceded that the Rambler
easily made up the lost time between 7h. 3sm. and
1lh. II would appear from the account referred to
that there We're too many captains on board the
Madeleine and too much wind and sea to make 1t
comfortable. can vouch for the wind on board the
Azalea between the time Of leaving the Lightship
at Sh. I'm, and our arrival at NaushOn at noon.
The little craft had about as much as she wanted
under her three lower sails unreefed. Not knowing
the size OF the Madeleine and not having the details
OF the RaInbler's log, leave further comment on
your correspondents somewhat fancy log until
get that OF the Rambler and am, very truly yours,
