MORE RING INDICTMENTS.

A Flutter Among the Politicians Ycster-
day-From Fifteen to Twenty Indict-
ments for Defra uding tho City.
Considerable excitement was created about the
City Hall yesterday by the appearance in the Court
OF Oyer and Termner Of the Grand Jury, who pre-.
sented number of indictments against various
persons. There was much speculation on the part
OF politicians as to the nature Of the charges
but 1t finally became generally circulated
that many OF the officials of the old city
government had been indicted and some Of the
expolice officials were especially mentioned. The
authorities about the District Attorneys Office
were as reticent as usual, but it was ascertained
that between fifteen and twenty bills of Indictment
had been presented against as many persons Tor
fraud in connection with the city government. 1t
was admitted that the accused were city officials
under the old regimes, but denied that any OF the
parties heretofore indicted are included in this
batch. 1t appears that these frauds have never
before been considered by the Grand Jury, and are
now for the first time to be brought to the atten-
ton OF the Court The District Attorney reports
that he hardly thinks they will be able send the
warrants to the Sheriff Tor execution to-day, so
that several days may elapse before the facts are
made public.

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
The action of the judges in the recent regatta
OF the Brooklyn Yacht Club was doubtless techni-
caly correct according to the printed regulations
of the club published by the committee on the
morning Of the regatta. We entered upon the

quality and capablity OF the respective yachts,
or the seamanshp of their crews 1t Is admitted by
every one that the experience Of Thursday last
amounted TO nothing. That the regatta proved
that the Vision and the Undine are the fastest
first class soop yachts in the fleet will not
be claimed even by the owners Of those excellent
vessels, and we, in common with others who are
dissatisfied with the result Of that day, are desr-
Gus OF comparing the boats under more favorable
circumstances for all.
We, therefore, desire through your columns to
invite the owners OF the FIRST class soOps entered
for the recent Brooklyn regatta to sail at an early
day over the course under the rules of the Brook
lyn Yacht Club, for cup OF the value Of $3.50.
Should this not be practicable we would be glad
to sail the yacht IT, B Asten against any one or
more OF the first class sloops OF the Brooklyn Yacht
Club over the same course for similar cup, AT an
early day, to be aged on.
Hoping that this will be acceptable to the owners
OF the Vision, Undine Meta, Commodore, Ariadne,
Addie Kate and Mary, or to some OF them, we are,
very respectfully, HENRY c. ALLEN,
