NIEMORIAL SERVICE.

Enconfums on Governor Rigelow at the Church of the Redeemer-Ap- preciative Addresses by Postmaster Sperry and Others.
 General Greeley presided at the memor- ial service for Governor Bigelow at the Church of the Redeemer last night Rev Dr. Phillips, in an eloquent and touching prayer, gave thanksgiving for the great men who have made the world better and brighter, and especially for that noble character and helpful personality that has just passed away from our midst.
 In few appropriate remarks General Greeley introduced Postmaster N. D. Sperry, who spoke on Governor Bigelow as citizen and official. About fifty years ago, said MT. Sperry, he came to this city as an apprentice, but with the determina- tion to be true man. He grew up a sin sere man, loved and respected. He was large-hearted, generous and benevolent.
 The men in his own factory can bear tes- timony to all I have said upon this point. Yes, and his charity was not confined to his own workmen. Others all over the city have been recipients of his bounty; and his own church can testify that his hand and heart were not withheld when assistance was needed and many of it's in- dividual members can also bear testimony to his liberality and kind benevolence
 Governor Bigelow was patriotic citi zen. I lived next door to him during our late war for the preservation of the Union. I never heard him utter an expression even of doubt as to the success of our army. He gave literally to the cause of the Union, op5 th unsbaLar fait ba 1ooEad for ha time when the stars and stripes would float in victory over the whole of our broad land.
 In the death of Governor Bigelow good men mourn, for a citizen most rare has fallen. The dark valley with it's weird and solemn shadows was illumined by the soul of our friend as it passed from earth to heaven. ~-. s.-- -.---. -
 MT. Norris F. Tyler, who was private secretary of Governor Bigelow, spoke of the governor in reference to his business and social relations. In the course of his remarks he said: Let me recall with you some of the individual traits of his charac- ter. His sympathetic, practical kindness first impresses us. In forming an opinion he was reasonable and sensible, but when decision was once formed it was un- changeable. He was man of peculiar liberality. He was liberal in his accept ance of new ideas. He was a man of as few ruts as l have ever seen.
 know of business firms who owe their prosperity to the ex-governor's business experience, voluntarily given. It seemed that he was in love with everything that was human or helpful to his fellow man. As business man he was very successful. In social life he had hosts of friends. Mir. Joseph Porter spoke on the private character of the ex-governor in words most fitting and just.

ENCOUNTERED BAD WEATHER.

! ENCOUNTERED BAD WEATHER. Tempestuous Passage of the British Steamer Rosshire-Theevesse Shat l tered by Heavy Seas-SeveraI of the | Crew Injured by the Huge Waves. F BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 18.-Steamer |. Rosshire (Br.) from Matanzas with sugar
 arrived to-day and reports that she experi-
 enced very tempestuous passage. At 1 noon on October 10 when in latitude 31 15
 north, longitude 54 west, she took a heavy southeast gale, attended with ter rife squalls and very high sea. At 7 p. m., the wind shifted to south by west and blew hard gale in which the steamer labored heavily and shipped great quanti- ties of water. On the eleventh the wind again shifted to northwest and north northwest and continued to blow heavy, gradually increasing in force till p. m., when it blew with great violence, with terrible cross sea running, the steamer shipping water continually. On the twelfth, at 4 8. m., during the height of the storm, while the steamer was hove-to, the chain connecting the steering gear parted, but the crew man aged to reach the temporary wheel aft in time to save the steamer from falling off in the trough of the sea. That morning at 7:30 tremendous sea boarded the steamer forward and another of like proportions came sweeping over the stern, smashing in the after part of the top-gallant fore castle and flowing the fore trysail, which the steamer was hove under, into shreds. The same sea carried several ventilators over the side, washed the wheel-bo over board and literally demolished the wheel which the steamer was being steered by while the forward steering gear was being re- paired. .Aheavy beam which supported theaf- ter grating was broken in two and the bin nacle stanchions were torn from their fastenings in the deck, together with the pinnacle and swept overheard. This dam age caused two large holes in the deck, through which an immense quantity of water gained access into the lazaretta, where a portion of the cargo was slowed and in all probability doing considerable damage. After some little difficulty the holes were patched. The iron covers of the steam pipes on deck were also dam aged. MT. Schellin, the first officer, who was on the main boom for safety, was struck by the sea- throwing him violently to the deck and dashing him against one of the steam. windlasses, inflicting painful bodily injury. Two seamen, Richard Wheatly and Thomas Ulson, were also struck by the huge wave and tossed about in frightful manner. They were both injured, the latter seriously.
 At P. m. another mountainous sea broke over the steamer amidships, demol- ishing the port quarter lifeboat and ren- dering her useless, the sea sweeping the deckss fore and aft,s.making it dangerous for any of the crew to be on deck. This sort of weather continued till midnight of that day, when the storm abated.

The SaItonstaH Raees-A Football Contest.
 The Yale freshmen football team played the Siglor's preparatory school team at Newburgh Saturday. The freshmen won by score of 29 to 8.
 After the meeting of the faculty Thurs day night it was announced to the man. agers of the Yale navy that the fall re- gatta at Lake Whitney, which Captain Gould of the crew had arranged to last three days, must, as usual all be rowed on one day. Captain Gould has been out of town for the past few days, and so the news has not yet reached him. The races, however, instead of coming on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of this week, as was intended, will probably all have to be rowed on Saturday, October 24, and the scheme of having the eight-oared races rowed in heats will have to be abandoned.
