mer Meeting.
m WEATHER AND LaRGI ATTENDANCE.
TWO CAPITAL CONTESTS.
The First Trot Won by Lady Mills
and the Second by Alley.
The weather wag delightful yesterday afternoon, a
shower having watered the course about one o'clock,
thus laying the dust on the grounds and the lumpiKca
leading thereto. 1 be track was in splendid condition
lor speed, and great calculations were uiado on reduc
ing the record* o! the contending horses The attend
ance was much larger than on the ptevious day, wnd
all appeared satisfied with the trotting as it canto off.
Two events took plac-, one for 2:39 horses and the
other hy those who hud never beaten 2:31 The first
trot was for a purse of $750 for horses that had ucvcr
beaten 2:38; $37."i to the first, $175 to tho second, $125
to the third and $75 to tho fourth horse; mile beats,
next three tu five. In harness. Kor these premiums
there were eighteen entries, comprising W Boduie'a

choice. Lady Lowe tho third and the field tho fourth in '?
demand. Lady M ills lrott< d much luster than any of !
the others, and won tho ruco in three straight hem* In
most excellent time; and there is uo uoubt that she
oun do u great deal belter when called on.
The second trot was lor a purse of $900, for horses
that have never bealcu 2:31; $400 to the first, (200 to
Die second, $120 to the third and $S0 to the lourlh

Ing Reuben, J. H. Goldsmith's bay gelding Alley, C. i
Dxkerman's bay gelding Harry .Spanker, K. Thorn's ,
bay mare Kuigma and J. Randolph's bay gelding Jeri
cho. Harry Spanker was the favorite, selling 4or a
tritic more than Alley, IheJicM being tho third choice
at a low figure. Spanker won 'the first beut, Kuigma
tho second, and then Alley became the lav rite in the
betting at even money against tho other two. The
third heat was won by Alley by a head, and bo then be
came u great lavoriu over the field. He won the
fourth beat, uud then bettrng ceased altogether, as It
h as considered, as they suy on the other side of the
ocean, "a moral'1 that he must win the race, djh.-y
won the filth heut and the race In splendid style, prov
ing bimtelt a reliable, enduring and rapid horse.

Dublin, June 10,187&
To-day we had at the Dundalk ranges the weather to
which in England they apply tbo loyal epithet ol
??Queen's weather," because ol tbo proverbial good
fortune oi Queen Victoria in this respect. It would
have been impossible'to find a greater contrast to last
Saturday than to-day "presented. It was simply charm
ing Bright sunshine, without being too hot, a pleas
ant air that fanned one whenever tbe sun seemed for a
moment Inclined to be too warm, aud a capital
light on tho targets that all tbe shooters recog
nized as perfect. The trees looked simply
beautiful Iu their abundant and tender foliage.
Yonder, about two miles away to the left,
rose die Carlingford Mountains like a chain ol sentinels
guarding the fertile plains of Louth at their feet. Tbe
whole scene was mors peaceful, perhaps more pic
turesque, certainly more cultivated than Dollymount.
However, tbe two ranges cannot be compared lor a
moment. This at Dundalk Is so narrow thai only two
targets cau bo used. It Is also provokingly short, so
that to-day, for example, tbe firing had to be suspended
more than once by reason of passing vessels coming
into range.
These drawbacks certainly did not exist at Dolly
mouut.

The tiring did not begin until past ten A. K. But It
went on slowly, and did not finish until half-past six
P. M.?eery dilatory practice, it must be admitted.
TDc clnel cause of this slowness was the "fish tail"
wind, which kept veering about all day as if following
the sun. and c ime occasionally in disturbing eddies
through the trees. Subjoined aro

RKI.KCTIMU THK "TkS.
There were now all the daia necessary lor "select
ing" the ten competitors. The rule adopted by the
Irish Rifle Association was that the ten competitor."
whoso totsi scores taken on any two days out ol the
three days ol competition stood highest should bo
??selected." The meaning ol this "soli clinn" shall hu.
explain-d presomiy. The lollowing is tho summary of
the total score, lot the three days:?
Mrtiunst
Thus, It will be seen that rt, pr. Jnhn<on's scores
were highest on the -eooud and third days, hence bis I
total will be taken for tbose dsya; whereas Pollock's
highest scores were on the dm and tuird dare Golf
competed only on tbe flr-t ami third, William Higby on
tbe tirst and second day*. Theme example* wnl ex
plain the principle on which the tins! "total" lathe
fourth column ?i tbo foregoing table has b*'eu aiade
up. Exafnininfibiatot.il it will be seen that the ten
bmbest competitors stand in tbe tallowing order:?
First, JAhuson: second, Golf; third, William R'ghy;
fourth, Clarke (Brodigan); filth. Juyol; Mxib, Dyas;
seventh, (iron lull; eighth, Smyth; ninth, Creed
(Cooper); tenth, Thynne.
CHOLCX.
These ten competitor* are now "aeleetod." That is
to say, they will ho admitted to alnrther trial, together
with lour others to be "nom.Dat' <t" by Minor Leech,
as Captain. This flnsl trial will be held at Wicklow on
the 23tb and 29tn of Juno. On each ol those days
each competitor will he te<iuired to Ore fifteen shots at
each ol the three ranges?800, 900. 1,000 yards. Tbe
ten men scoring the highest total* ol points in tbia
two-day competition will consulate the team for
America.
FOOT NOTCH.
1 should add that although Major Lceeh Is authorized
to ''nominate" only lour additional competitor*, it is
understood that be tnay uomlnatn more, it the commit
tee of management agree that they arc proper persons

A NARROW ESCAPE.
1 regret to say that the day was vory near being
marred by a sern us accident. Tho markers being new
to the work Major Leech bad gone up to the targets to
instruct them. While he was engaged In washing out
the bullet mark from target No 2 one ol tbe riflemen,
who was tiring at Mo. 1, missed Irs own target and hit
No. 2 The bul el splintered lu the rebound, mi some
ol tbe splinters penetrated Mi\)nr Leech's bat, cutting
the right forehead; others struck bis lace. c> nlusing
the left cheek for fully three inches Immediately under
the left oyo The eye narrowly escaped. Tlio hat was
quite riddled, (iroal sympathy was naturally Iclt and
expressed for the Cuplam ol the leant, whose zeal had
brought dim into the position which the awkwar Inesa
of a shooter had made so dangerous, and ail rejoiced
that the ill eOocts ol the accident were happily light by
comparison.

Tbo entries aro cot as good ss were expected, and if
the stranger visiting the regatta Imagines he sees the
pick of the American yachts be will be in error, as
ucilber the Idler, Palmer, Mndclclue, Colombia, Comet,
Mohawk, Magic nor Triton are down on the list. In the

canslit. Alarm, Tidal Wave and Atalama, three keel

like
A Cirr FOR TBI TIDAL WAVK,
that Is, presuming the yachts encounter ordinary '
weather. An interesting loaturo ol tbo regatta will be
tbo contest between the throe koel yuchta, and, Judging
from what she has already done, tbe Drcadnaugbt will
probably arrive homo tlrst. Tbe Atalanta is said to be
sailing very fist, and as tbe Tidal Wave will have
to allow bcr considerable time sbo may possibly de
feat tbe favorite. For tbe aecond class schooners the
Estelle, lie ?t loss, Mela, Peerless and Eva come to
gethcr. The latter baa not been seen lu those waters
Ibis season, so it la bard to say bow sbe will go. If
the breeze be light the Mela will probably be able to
dispose of tbo Peerless. The Gracie, Arrow and Ylu
di-x meet lu tbo content lor the first class sloops, sod,
judging Irom past performances, the Arrow will
achieve another victory. In tbe second class there are
nine ent-ies. Including the Ori >n, Undine. Windward,
Sadie, Kate, Schemer, Anuie, Maggie B. and White
Cap. It is ucarly impossible to pick a winner from so
many Inst yacbis, especially without a peep at the
weather; but, inking ibe chances of a stifT or light
breeze, the Undine or Schemer will probably arrive In
tbo front rank.

Tbe Ubkald's account of the regatta ol tbe Nereid
Boat Club this morning Is very humorously pitched
and has csuscd a great dest of amusement inside tho
club, if uot out. Some dellolencies and some inaccura
cies io it, however, are calculated to misload poisons
who only know the club through tho Herald and
should "be corrected.
01 the three races rawed, two were highly respect
able, and lor the unquestionable failure of the third a
good reason existed. If the Herald reporter bad only
known It, which he apparently did not The flrst raco
was lor (our-oared g gs. The start was good, tbe race
was quite cloaely coutested, the crews pulled well to
gether, and the two miles were covered In
12m. 28s., which, fcr^ pigs in lumpy
water, is good time. Tbe lost race was lor
singles. The pulling in two oi tbo three boats was
very good, and the race was intoresi'ng and devoid of
ant ridiculous element. The second race, lor pair
oarod shells, will ooubtless loug be laughed about
Scarcely ever docs a regatta come off without some
mishap, and the pair-oars were the victims In tins
one. At the time ol the start tbe water was execs
sively rough, and tbe light shells, beiug held by the
sterns at tho storting boat, were violently wrenched
by tbo seas. A pas-in; steamer Increased
the commotion to such an extent that the steering ap
paratus ot noth boats was demolished bv the efforts of
the men to bold on to tbo sterns. Tho yoke lines ol
the blue crew were snapped off and the bingee of tbeir
opponents rodder beat so that it could not be turned,
hut steered tbe boat on its own account.
A pair oared shell Is the most tick
lish ol crafts, and in rough water, without
a rudder, is unmanageable. Still tbe crews of the two,
talking across ut tbo stakebouts, decided to start, inas
much as tnany Iriends were on the steamer purposely
to see them. They v? ere scarcely off, however, hoforo
the strong wind and tido began to sweep tliem help
lessly down to the wes'ward, making tbe whole
race into a ' good joke, winch tho oarsmi n,
making the best ol circumstances, entered into. Tbe
Herald bos been more thau severe in styling it a bur
lesque regatta, as tbe only incident which waa out of
the usual way of private regattas was the erratic
courses ol the pair oars produced by the broken rud
der Id a regular amateur or professional race where
severe criticism is expected, tboso boats would novcr
have started. ''PAIR-OAR."
8PELTERINI AT NIAGARA.
A LADY TO CROSS THE RIVER ON A SINGLE ROPE.
The great sensation ol tbe present day In the amuse
ment world is the projected trip across the Niagara
River ol a young lady, lately arrived Irom Europe, and
known as tbe Signorina Maria gpeltertnl. This young
artiste arrived id New York about two months ago.
and baa ginco boon quietly making preparations to ac
complish lb* feat that gave Blond In a world-wide repu
tation. During ber stay in this city the Spelterini
gave two representations at Jones' Wood, and per
formed teats on tbe high ropo 100 Isct above tbe
ground that at ouce convinced tbe specta
tors of ber perfect right to tbe encomi
ums sho has received from tbo Knropean
press. Somo well knowu manag< re who wore prcscut
at ber Initial performance treely expressed Hie opiuioa
that sbe.excrlled in grace and daring any artiste Unit
bus ever visited this rouniry. A Hkrai.o re
porter paid Mile, dpeliorinl a vlait yesterday af
ternoon, and in course ol a conversation
learned the following (actsShe was born in
I.fvorno. Italy, and made her first appearance
tu public with her father's company when she w.is
three years o< age. Sue performed until soe reached
the ago of icu upon tho tight rope and then com
menced tho slack wiro aud the rolling globa In tho
two la-l acts sbu achieved a brilliant success, pcrturm
ing lor two years in Berlin and Viepna. In 1871 aho
went to Ku-sia and made such s grand success upon tho
high rope that snn adopted that branch ol her profes
sion entirely and gave it ber solo attention.
She Is gilted with wonderlnl nerve, combined
with cool daring, end during her entire career
has never made a Kiugle misiu-e, although on s verai
occasions she was only saved from accident by great
presence ol mind. In 1K73, wbeu periorming in iho
Surrey Uardc-us, Londou. ou the day tbo Alex<ndria
I'aisco was destroyed by lire, she was standing on the
pUiform waiting 10 commence her act when the rope
broke aud the shock threw uown the poie on the other
end. The one supporting the platform on which she
stood rockc i violently us ber assistant wus lumping about
and about to throw him.-elf oil. but sho carnbl him by
the hair ol the head and mado bun stand still until as
sisiauce was brought, and they both landed on terra
ttrma tale and sound, on ono occasion, when perform
ing at night In Jersey at a height ol 125 leel over the
bay, a violent thunder storm arose. Ingot
en'inj everybody in tbe vi unity, but sho
went through her perfortnanro with tho
lightning flnsuing all nronnd her huu never for a mo
ment lost her presence oi nund. Lust year at Oporto
she was advertised tu tarry a buy across on her buck, a
distance of 300 leet, about eighty iect from the ground.
Tbe boy dissppoin ed her nnd she carried ber brother
across, a geuth man weigblug 170 faiunds.
Speaking ol Niagara, the Speticrlnt does not regard
the feat as anything at all extraordinary, as walking
across the river do a not display ibe artiste's nerve half
as much as the difl'erenl performances that she proposes
to give on the rope. If sufllcient strain tan be got on
the rot>e so as to stretch It tolerably straight she will
be alee to give her entire repertoire, and, in any case,
il the rope can be prop rly guyed sbo will perforin
some ten or twelrc diflciont acts.
The roi>e it now being mannlactured In this city, and
when completed will measure 1.000 loet and weigh
1,700 pounds. It will require 1,U00 pound weight
or guys to keep It lairly rteady. Tbo r pe will be
' stretched across tbo Ntagara Rapid* abont 21)0 feet below
tbe Railroad Soap' nsion Bn ige, and two fen*
ou each bank of the river will ne enclosed and arranged
with sent* for the accommodation of ihe spectators.
The Krle. New York Crotral, fireat Western. Cuntda
Southern and other roads will run trains at excursion
rate* to accommodate tbe visitors anxious to pay a
visit to the Kails and see a worn in cross tbe rapids on
a rope, a feat never before attempted The first per
lormance will be given on July 1, Dominion Dav, at
4 I*. M.. and the second at the tiamo hour on July 4,
in bonor to the Centennial celebration. Th? Spel
terini aud her brother left last night for tbe Interna
tional Hotel, where she will remain during her stay at
Niagara Falls.
