POLICEMEN AND CLAIMS.

How a Party of the SSFfnest'' WrestIed

 Point Yesterday-Those Who Dis-
 tinguished Themselves in Swimming
 and Shooting.
 The barge Columbia left the city shortly after 12 o'clock yesterday carrying party of policemen, who are now on night duty, to Merwin's Point for a clambake The barge picked up the policemen at the resi- dences. On the ride down old war songs were sung with great zest, William Rice de- veloping unexpected power as a vocalist. The first thing the policemen did when they reached the shore and got good sniff of the salt sea air was to strip off their clothes and go in bathing. Those who know Messrs Streit, Stormont and Waas will understand that they required an enormous depth of water to float in. They were cruelty called porpoises by some of their brothers who are smaller of stature. Those who did not go in in the shade and viewing distant objects with field glasses and with rife shooting w. A. Pickering carried off the hon ors in the latter sport. The dinner was then attacked and all were well satisfied with it. There were lemonade and coHee TOT dr1nkableS. At one end of the table there was a contest between Officers Streit, Collett and Orr in eating clans. Af- ter large piles of shells had been collected, MT. Orr was declared the victor The police men returned at half-past o'clock, well pleased with their trip and anxious to go again. Those who participated were: Ben. s. Jackson, w. A. Pickering, w.

OUR HOME YACHTsmEN.

The Finest Display Seen at Newport
 This Year-ArrfVal at New Bedford
 Greeted by Fireworks, Speeches, Etc.
 -Order of Arrival.
 NEW BEDFORD, July 24.-The squadron was joined in Newport by several of the New Bedford club yachts, namely: The Indolent, Commodore Rhodes; Arazalia, Rear Commo- dore Swain; Startling, Captain G. W. Parker; Iolanthe, Captain Lee. These added to our own squadrod made 8 very showy fleet, and the result was that the combined squadron made at least the finest display that Newport has seen this year. The sail to this port was a pleasant one, the wind light enough for light sails until we turned into Buzzard bay, when general gathering in of canvas was in order. Tonight the New Bedford club gave our fleet most enjoyable reception.
 The yachts as they lay are resting as if tired from their lively sail of to-day. Be decked with lights they presented a sight which suggested fariyland. Fireworks, speeches, lunch, songs and pleasant greet ing made the hours fly. Commodore Scran- ton happily replied to the toast to our club. The order of arrival is as follows: Indolent, Wild Pigeon, Startling, Minerva, Rajah, Ceres, Arazalia, Sea Belle, Acme, Iolanthe, Vixen All yachts report clear bill of health. J. G., JR.

sufficient law then let there be laws passed that would give the Board of Health all the power necessary to enable them to care for the health of the city
 It was voted to refer the matter to 8 special committee of three to be appointed by the Court of Common Council to confer with the Board of Health in regard to fram- ing suitable laws.
 An ordinance regarding the inspection of hacks and public vehicles as to their cleanh- ness and preventing the carrying of the body of any dead person in public hacks was next considered.
 Alderman Baldwin said he had suffered from riding in filthy hacks which were filled with foul odors and to such an extent that he had been made sick by them. While he thought the majority of hacks were kept clean, yet there were many that were decidedly filthy and a simple ordinance would regulate the whole matter.
 Dr. Lindsley thought if such law passed it owners, especially if it was understood that their vehicles were liable to inspection at any time. Voted to refer the matter to the special committee and the Board of Health.
 The proposed ordinance to prevent the blowing of tin horns in the streets or on the public squares was next considered. Alder man Kennedy advocated the passage of the measure. Voted to recommend that the pc titioners be given leave to withdraw.
 Thomas H. Fulton appeared and asked that the license for making soap and boiling grease be reduced from $10 to $1. MT. Ball, of the firm of Bradley & Ball, also advocated the same The petitioners were given leave to withdraw.

Comfy Commissioners.

The county commissioners in Waterbury yesterday heard first the case of Mauric Mori- arty. Chief Egan and Officer Dodds upon being sworn testified to having visited the place kept by Moriarty on Washington street on July Eth, and to have found the doors un- fastened between the barroom and the base ment hallway. Moriarty testified to keeping hotel in the upper portion of the building. This was to account for numbers of people who were seen coming out of the place on recent Sunday by a special officer deputized to do duty on Washington street and requested by the chief to watch Moriarty's place. J. W. Webster ap- peared for Moriarty, and held that it should be proven not only that the door was open, but that it was open for traffic. This he said had not been proven. hotel register, sworn to have keen kept on the place, was produced. The commissioners reserved their decision. In the case of P. H. Moore, whose place is on the corner of South Main and Union streets, door was also found open. MT. Moore admitted this, but stated to the Board that he had been given permit by Mir. Perry and ex-Commissioner Baldwin to keep the door unsealed. The com missioners had no knowledge of this agree ment, but if there had been an agreement to this effect the records at New Haven will show it. In the case of William Kelley, whose place is near the Plank road corner, the inside door was fastened by cross board which had been removed a few days previous to paint the door and sill. The proprietor had not used it to admit customers, although the chief testified that it did not look like per manent fastening. Ke1lsy's case appears to be the safest of those tried thus far. No de- cision will be rendered until the return of the board to this city.

NEW SOUND STEAMER. A $2OO,OOO Boat Launched Yesterday
 At NOank.

A $ZVUsUOO 6OAO GeSLeTOay
 ." At NOank.
 Yesterday at noon the large screw side wheel steamer, built for the Providence & Stonington Steamship company, was launch ed from the yard of Palmer & Sons at Noank The vessel is intended for service as a freight boat on the Sound between New York, Stonington and Providence, and in her construction there have been introduced some novel features which will attract the notice-ef all American steamboat men. This steamer is built of wood, and is 305 feet long over all 43 feet feet beam 73 feet inches wide across her guards) and 16 feet depth of hold. She is stoutly framed with white oak and at every deck beam she has heavy hanging knee, inside and outside alternately. Her outside p1anking is four inches thick Three water-tight bulkheads have been built in her, which will protect her hold from flooding in case of bad leak or collision Her model is considered handsome and it is expected that this steamboat will prove very fast on a small consumption of coal.
 The principal novelty about this vessel is her engine It is the first of it's type that was ever built in this country, being designated as an oscillating, compound surface, condens- ing, direct acting, side-wheel engine. John Roach & Son are building the boilers and machinery, which consist of one set of oscillating cylinders, the low pressure one being 78 inches in diameter and the high pressure 42 inches, with 10 feet 6 inches stroke of piston. Steam will be supplied by eight tubular boilers, the initial pressure of which will be 80 pounds to the square inch. She will have feathering paddle wheels Morgan type-and begin her trips on or about November 1. The estimated cost is $0OO GOO
