those who do not care to enter the lists Of
the squadron, A good yacht can be bought
for $4,000 or less, but some are of much
higher cost. lselin, the banker, is now
yachting in the sound, and the Osborn
yacht may go still farther east. Gen. But
Ter, on the other hand, is yachting from
Boston 10 New York. The well known
Dry goods merchant, L. 5. Jaffray, who
lives at lrviDgton, comes down to this city
every morning in bis little yacht and takes
breaKiast aboard. Hudson river yachts
are DuiIt small, with rig adapted for beat
ing against head winds so common on that
stream, while larger size Is required for
sea service. To run yacht. costs about
$40 day for wages and board of crew.

BRYANT MATTERS.
The vase presented to the venerable poet
is called the birthday vase" and as the
presentation took place June 90, some NAV
suppose that to be the day of his nativity.
Such, however, is not the case. Mr. Bfv-

form leaning on Mr.. O.rocd looked small
and feeble, but his head retains its impress

HIS NOMINATION.
Mr. Tilden will remember the significant
fact that in his case, like that of Van Blu
rem, New York is matched against Ohio.
The fate Of the cunning lawyer who was
then beaten by the noble Buckeye suggests
the manner in which Tilden will come out
of the canvass. This is the first time a
Wall street lawyer has been named for the
chief Office of our republic. Mr. 7 ilden
has the reputation OF success in lis pro-
fession, bu. it is not the reputation
enjoyed by such meu as the late
Daniel Lord or James w. Gerard or other
practitioners of high toned honor. His
greatest case was the suit between the Del
aware ard Hudson canal company on The
one hand and The Pennsylvania coal COM
pany on the other. The difficulty was in
the Interpretation Of contract. The
companies had entered into the contract
carefully, and it was supposed that its ma
ture was well understood by both parties.
TildeD. however, was sble to place an in
depreciation upon It o. new and surprising
character. The suit was more than TWEEN
~ years in progress, and the costs were in
all S245, 900. Tiden's art in making a man
say what he does not intend to say and
what he also claims that he did not say,
was admirably manifested in this case.
There can be no doubt of his skill in n
wrangle. Martin Van Buren, was also an
aa51l aSYeTs an hgH'h rS ny FL
the presidency. This one point should be
plainly understood by Tiden's supporters.
and probably they are already painfully
convinced OF Its truth. There can be no
enthusiasm got up for their candidate. No
one (lnbought) is ready to throw up his
hat and hurrah for an old bachelor lawyer
who has passed his life amid the pettifog-
ging of Wall street.
HALLS CHURCH.
Tie recent death of John Auchincloss
removes one of the Oldest members Of
John w. Halls church, in which the de
ceased once held prominence as represen-
tative of the Scotch element. 1t is now
more than half a century since Hugh Auchs
incloss came hither and established
himself as agent for the sale of Scottish
goods. He became an elder in the Duane
street Presbyterian church, of which James
Alexander was then pastor, and died while
in that office. The church moved up town
and called pastor Hall, and the Auchncloss
family retained its connection. From ear
ly childhood John Auchincloss has been in
this society, of which he was an Influential
member. The original Scotch element in
this church was once very large, and
though the original families have declined,
new emigration is coming in. Pastor
Hall attracts the intelligent Irish and
Scotch by the power of his mighty intel
lect. Whiteaw Reid also attends, and this
explains the fact whenever Mr.. Hall speaks
through the secular press the TribUae is
the chosen medium. Hall Is well pie astd
to have Reid in his congregation, tor the
pulpit and the editorial chair should al
ways have mutual understanding. 1t
the editors OF this city should attend church
more regularly. and If tie pulpit were to
cultivate an editorial Chat is more inter
es,ipg) style, both professions would stand
higher in the opinion of
