The S,ci,,,,,,i,,g Match To-dav.

The Sscts'ss'atnO Match To-day.
The Philadelphia Press in speaking of the
International Swimming Match, which takes
place to-day, says:
= The excitement in relation to the second
international swimming match, the particu-
lars of which have been published in these
columns, increases hourly, and the Della
ware will present scene such as can now
be seldom witnessed. The details of all the
arrangements are regarded with much favor
by both Coyle and johnson, and there is
every reason to suppose that "fair playv
can be exacted for both sides. As it is GER
tain that the river will be full Of all kind of
craft, from big steamboat to boy on
log, We hope thegreatest pains will be taken
to insure a clear course and no interfe-
renee. .u r,.
The indications are that there will be
large attendance from New York, Balti-
more, and Boston. Inquiries as to the con-
dition of the men are received daily, and
upon the answers of these the betting is
based. In New York, johnson is a hot IA
vorite on account of his tremendous muscu-
lar development. Coyle, not being SO well
known, is not as much inquired after. In a
general way, We can say both men are in
tip-top codition. They eat well, sleep well, i,
do their work well, and are cheerful and
confident. The betting is slightly in favor
Of johnson, but Coyle is in splendid con-
dition, and will come out ahead this time,
or prove himself the poorer swimmer, and
his friends do not think it possible. The
hotels at Gloucester are making great pre-
parations. They have sent for schieble to
decorate them. They will lay in provisions
for at least ten thousand visitors. Many
will 60 down in the morning and remain all
day, making holiday Of the occasion.
Messrs. Brooks & Hag:erty, Of the Centen-
NAL Park Hotel, and Mr.. Plum, of the
Buena Vista, are highly delighted at the
prospect. All they ask is clear day.

succeeded in proving his claim to the
baronetcy after a memorable trial. whereat
Admiral Frederick was the other claimant,
The bridegroom was born in lS43, and is a
Captain Of Hussars. The founder of the

GLXMPSEs AT THE PEACH Crop.

There is a good deal Of anxiety felt in
Ia NastAwsst- -shsst tie fsaeh-erepy- -aa-in
that neighbosbopd ifWpeidered failure.
The Agricultural Department has received
many letters upon this subject. nfits
monthly report, just issued to-day, the De-
partment has the following:
PEAcHEs-The peach crop suffered still
more severely than apples from the
freezes Of winter and frosts Of spring. The
highest average condition is found in the
North Atlantic States and in the Gull
States. The maximum is in Mississippi
ll3, and the minimum in Ohio II. Df
the New England States, New Hampshire
falls six per cent, below the average, but
the other States are full average or above.
OF. the Middle; States, New Jersey and
Delaware ON the coast are nearly or quite
full average, while the inland regions oi
New York fall Is per cent, and those Of
Pennsylvania 80 per cent. In Sussex,
Delaware, Hale's early was the only va
riety Of peaches Of which the trees were
full. el GiEti .ss.h
The South Atlantic States range from
nearly average in Maryland to q in North
Carolina. ag. sta
In the Gulf States peaches were report
ed as dropping from the trees in Florida,
where the crop averaged but II. In Ala
bama it averaged II. In Montgomery
early Beatrice peaches were ready for ship
ment May %; Early Rivers and Louise
June to 5. Hale's and Tillotson's Early
came in ten days later than in 1871. Mis-
sissippi has large crop, but many coun-
ties have but poor market. In Kinds
county the fruit growers will lose $4,000
by the failure of the railroads to provide
adequate transportation. Louisiana, Texas,
and Arkansas, with full average crop,
complain Of tendency to rot in some
places. .....
The crop is Of little value in the other
inland Southern States and north Of the
Ohio river, where late frosts combined
with spring freezes exerted the most de-
structive influence.
West Of the Missouri the prospect is
little better.
The Pacific coast will not be much over
a half average.
RUGBY ACADRMY.-The fall term of the
Rugby Academy will open on September
9th, and the following faculty is an
nounced:

y POLITICAL Points,

Governor Kirkwood, of Iowa, favors tenn
perance and an early resumption Of specie
payments.
It is evident from the confessions Of pro-
minent Ohio Democrats that the rag-a-muf-
fins have come to their Waterloo.
Governor Hayes, of Ohio, has inherited
s75O,00O, and it is no longer possible to say
that Republican leaders in that State are
poor.
Senator Thurman is reported to have said
that the Democrats of Ohio are already de-
feated first, on the Catholic question, and
second, on the demerits Of that splendid
demagogue Sam Carey.
General Garfield says that in Ohio the po-
litical issue Is on the power Of the Catholic
clergy in relation to public schools. He
thinks that the religious contest has been
transferred from the Old World to the New
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, believes that
the negro will politically gravitate toward
the white, because he naturally loves men
better than measures. He thinks, there
fore, that emancipation was political bene-
faction to the South.
Many Democratic journals in New York
State believe that the State cannot furnish
candidates for both the Presidency and the
Speakership, and that, therefore, Mr.. Cox
must give way for Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Kerr's
chances seem to be constantly improving.
Beck, of Kentucky, and Young, of Geor-
gia, two leading Southern politicians, are
fighting the political contest on the presump-
tion that the North and the South are at any
time ready for war, yet the Bunker Hill
Centennial was celebrated with gushing fra
ternizing only the other day. -.
1t is not impossible that the recent rebuke
to Jefferson Davis will result in his making
o speech in Illinois after all. None Of his
friends will be satisfied until he has shown
his enemies not only that he can make a
speech in that State, butstbatahe can also
express his own opinions.
The indications are that the Republican,
party in California is already defeated by
the independents, and that the charges OF
land peculation against Colonel Bidwell
have ruined the independents. The Demo-
Gratis claim to possess the State by 1000 to
6.0OO plurality.
