The swim ming Match.

DETAILS OF THE ,coNTEsr-CoYLE TO LOOK OCT
MORE sHARPLY-Sl000 s1pE ON TAE RESULT.
The Chester Euentng Ne,cs, Of Saturday, has
the following details
Mr.. Coyle notified us by wire last evening,
from Gloucester, that a second match, between
himself and Mr.. johnson had been arranged, the
course to be from Chester to Gloucester, for a
purse of $4,000 (S1000 on each side.) The day
has not yet been fixed, but it will fall between
the lit and oath of August as the tides be-
tween these dates will best serve the awimmers.
Messrs. Coyle and johnson began this MORN
ing their course of training for the match. Mr..
Johnson's preparation may not vary from that
pursued by him before the last match, but In
the case of Mr.. Coyle it is to bo presumed that
his training will be more thorough, for he Is now
In the hands of parties who, having money
staked upon him. will take care that his regimen,
eto,, conduces to q physical condition that will
promise success.
The many errors OF the last match will, un-
doubtedly, be guarded against. The hour OF
starting will be named in the agreement boats
will be required to keep certsn distance from
each contestant, and it may certainly be expect
ed that, whatever untoward event may happen,
neither Coyle or johnson will be drugged.
Until after the match, Coyle's head quarters
will be at the Centennial Park Hotel, Glouces-
ter johnson will remain at the Buena Vista
Hotel. Both men, at their Interview yesterday,
agreed to swim against Bernard Rowe, OF Kings
bridge, n. Y, if that person insisted on match,
or they would permit MIR. Rowe to make his se-
lection as to which of the two should contest
with him.

The CANVASS for the Democratic nomination
for Mayor ia not entirely smooth. The managers
want to run of all aspirants but Col. Whiteley,
and give him a complimentary nomination, but
thus far tho scheme does not work. Mr.. Ware
has withdrawn, aud Hayes Jas. p announces
that he il not candidate, but Squire ONeill con-
tnues IN the field, with strong following, and
ox-SheriR Richardson's friends are making a
strong CANVASS for him. The last named con-
tuues his card in the newspapers, to-day, an
nouncing his candidacy.
at the Democratic meeting, on Friday even
ing, Archie Given attacked the ex Sheriff in the
mer :" black Republican" member OF tho Tn.
ion League &C., &c. His display of ill-feeling
aud bad blood did not presage Harmonious
state of things, and his attack on Mr.. Richard
son was bitterly resented. Councilman Farrell,
of the Ninth Ward, charged. also, that the whole
business was being run by few men to the ex-
clnsiun OF tho rank and file, which WAS probably
true.
James bradford. it Ia stated, consents to be
the Democratic candidate for President OF Coun-
cI
Attention Is being directed to the selection of
candidates for Council On behalf OF the Re-
First Ward Jacob Backus, in the Third
aud John V. Rice, in the Sixth.
1t is said to be the purpose of Mr.. Febger's sup
porterb to run him again in the Ninth. The
prospect OF the election of the Republican city
ticket is believed by many to depend very much
on the selection of good candidates for Council
in tho various wards.

Maryland Peach Orchards.

Among the numerous large peach orchards in
Maryland, the Centreville Queen Anne's county,
Record mentions the following. belonging to MIR.
John Harris, of that county, and called the
d" Ronrd Top Peach Farm" Tho Record says
"The farm lies on the Queen Anne's side of
the Chester river, about three miles above Ches-
tertown, and contains ,0l3 acres all of which is
planted in peach trees with tho exception OF the
seven or eight acres upon which the pack
ing houses, storehouses, dwellings, cottages, &c-
stand. There are a sufficient numbe rof these
latter to accommodate over one thousand per.
sous. The orchard originally contained 100000
Irees, but Mr., Harris thinks that not over $780,
600 are now standing and in bearing. He esti-
mates his crop this season at about l21,0O0
boxes. about half OF which he expects to
pack. Arrangements have been made with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to ship
the other half from Locust Point to Cincinnati,
Chicago, and other western cities. A large
steamer with a capacity OF four thousand boxes,
will be run daily between the Round Top wharf
and Locust Point at which place tho fruit Will
be transferred to the Baltimore and Ohio cars
and dispatched at lightning speed to tho West,
where the crop is small this year. Mr.. Harria
expects to give employment to eight hundred
men, women and children this season. Col. Will
kins, of Kent county, has nearly, if not quite as
many peach trees as Mr.. Harris, although they
are not in one solid orchard"
