On ihe hill ju-t bark of the club ho.i.-e at Fleetwood

Eastern States during the past inonlh or two have been
ovcrruu with indiflorent horsemen irorn the ''I'acilio
slope," who managed profitable speculations, but
failed to give first class performance* In return for the
patronage received. The ohib arrived hero on the

organization are nil residents of fan Jos?i, about fifty
miles south of San Francisco, aud while they are men
of repute and own "mountain ranches.' or small farm*,
they havo passed most of their lives in thu saddle.
Leaving San Jose on the 11th or May they made their
first stop at Chicago, where tbey finished their outfit.
Citizens ol that placo hearing of their presence among
them requested an exhibition. It was given on the
10th lost., at l?exier I'ark, to over a,ooo persons, niauy
of whom were representatives of the lea ling families
of the vicinity. The result of tho |{aiue of polo was
received witli hearty applause, as, indeed, were all the
teats performed.

The cool oncampmeut at Fleetwood was visited by a
llKKALD reporter yesterday. One look lns'de the
tonts would satisfy tho most scrupnlod* person that

ground, the full size of tho larger tent, Is
spread a piece of handsome carpet, and
trunks and camp tto.ds, dressed skins and head
nets All the eye so far as comfort and the general ar
rangement of neatness is concerned. To the north or
right ot the main tent Is the meal tent, and here these
men of the mountains live quietly and pleasantly.
Captain Mowry and four of his comrades were found
?'at home," nnd others cutno in altrrwitrd. An
theso men have Rplenoid physiques, and they look as
if It would require an immense and prolonged s:rain
upon tboir hardened muscles to fatigue them. Sis arc

The others are "Argonauts." Their names are as fol<

Captain Mowry it the oldest man Id the part)-, and
be ba.s just turned thirty seven. A fluer repri-si nta

in May, 1876, when he made the fifty miles in 2b, 2m.,
i the instest time on record. Again, on April '?L this
year, lie rodo another race of the Hiuno cbaucter, with 1
his old opponent, Smith, euch being allowed ten horses I

ilS"d by Smith on tins occasion were notably superior |
to Mowry's; but while the Cornier was deliberate
; to a degree in his mourns and dlsmouuts, Mowry threw

Ins headway, By this means he was enabled to gain
time to equal, and rnoro than equal, the disadvantage
In the speed of his homes. He was repeatedly timed
and occupied from three to live seconds in his changes.
Mowry was the winner by -'0<> yards in 2b. Km. In all
thcs<' contests, California horses, the same as the 1'oio

Hook light, leaving both on the port band. The start,
which was urranged lo bo a flying one, was to have
been made ut ten A. M., but owing to tbe almost dead

TH* KLOOF HACK.
Ox Board Tint Arrow, Juno 28, 1876.
The first to be started wero the (loops, the word being
given from the steamer Raymond by tbe Kegaua Com
iiiittee. Tbe Gracie crossed tbe line ut lh. 22m. aus.
P. M. on the starboard tack, and was lollowod by
the Arrow on the same tack at 11:. aim. 10s. The wind
at the time was moderate Iroiu the .-ouiuward. BoiU
yachts carried mainsail, jib and balloon gall topsail.
Alter standing on this tack for sumo time both yachts
went about aud heuded lor the beach, the Arrow alt'
the time outpointing and overreaching bur aut.^ouist,
until by 2b. 09m. 10?. sbe had lairly passed her,
when she went about again ou the starboard tack,
which manoeuvre was spoedily followed t>y the Gracio.
At 4b. 13m. the Arrow again i eked snip standing out |
to tho eastward, but tbe i.racie still ho.'d <>u on the jiort
tuck. Deal was abeam at 5b. JlSin. ami ibo tiracie was !
astern and to leeward about two miles, both yachts
being then on the port tuck. 1 be wind was still hold
ing lair and at 6li. Mm. the Arrow, having rcacbod well
In near tbe shore, wont about and stood oil ou tin star
board tack, rfquun was parsed at 7b. 12tn. with the
(trarifc lar off astern In Uio dun distance aud at
eight o'clock was no longer to be distinguished. At
nine o'clock Uarnegal was sighted on tiio weather
bow, the wind having then shifted to southwest by
south. The Arrow was stauding <>n the port tack at |
this tlmo, which she held until 9b. 23m . when she 1
went about. Tho wind Spain sullied, hauling more to 1
the westward. At ten o'clock another tack was made I
to port, aud to starboard again at Inb. 40m. From this ,
out the order was a succossion of short lacks dowu tbe <
coast. liarnt-gul bore abeam at llh. 22tu. At j
121). 18m. tho wind ouro moro shifted to tho
southwest, but still kept steady, allowing all j
canvas to be spread. At this time tbe Arrow was still I
carrying her mainsail, club topsail, balloon jib and jib
topsail, und was sailing vory last with scarcely any :
pitching perceptible, although sue rose and K il on the !
long ocean swell. The weather overhead was clear and j
bright. Tack after tack was uinuo on and oil shore uu- 1
tilth. 16m. yesterday morning, when tho

away off to the eastward asiern aud to leeward. Egg
Harbor bore abuttn at sunrise. Tbe wind foil light agum
aud but little progress was made. At the A M. the
brroze caiue out again from the southward, but still ex
ceedingly light aud battling. Kl?e minutes later the
Arrow took iu her Jib and set the balloon jib In its
! place, deriving groat benetit thurcirom. At 5h. 25 m.
, tho wind once more changed mid cainc from south
southwest, and sheets had all to be trimmed down. At
six o'clock she was off Atlantic City, and three
quarters of au hour later sent up her Jib topsati, but
; deriving little beuclit from it sent it down again. At
I Ml Sftui. the balloou Jib was hauled down und the jib ?ut
| iu its stead, tho yacht being at the timuoo the starboard
i lack. She went about at Oh. l?m. and set her jib ti pstil.
i Tho Grade in the meantime was sighted through the
I mist but soon lost sight ol. She was again viewed at
loh. oOm , away oil' to leeward, bearing NK. by N. The j
wind here begun to ftvshon and the balloon gaff
I topsail was taken in, and working gaff topsail |
net in its place. Tho Capo May Ligbtship was sighted at ,
1 lh. 20m. this morning, when two long tacks liad to be ;
I made to fetch It. The (Sracie?what Mas rupposed to j
be her?was again sighted at 2h. ?N*a.. hut disappeared I
' from view before she could l>e distiuctly tnado out.

was rounded at lib. 30m., and sheet was given for the
i run homo before the wind. The bal oon jio, too, was
j boomed "lit with a whisker pole, and with the fresh
breeze which now came up quick tune was being made.
At 4h. lfim. tho Gracie was met on hor way to tho
> lightship, standing on the port tack about one mile and
a halt to Iccwani. The Arrow'sjtb topsail, whlcu she
had set on rounding the turning point, was doing etli
| oient service, and she glided tnrouch tbe water at a
spanking rate. At Oh. ltm. the schooner? America snd
Alarm wero sighted tor tbe first time since the com
mencement oi the race, both heading !or
the Cape May light, tho tlrsi named 'catling
the latter by about two miles, both being on the port
tack. Abeecuni light house was a'leam at Oh. Mm.,
and at 7h. 27m. the schooner yacht Meta was Bussed,
[ bound for 1'ruladolphia. At sundown tho Arrow was
abreast of Brigantine Shoals, and at 8h. o3tn. otr Little
Kgg Harhor. At?h. Dim. tbe wiud suddonly shifted to
the northwest, striking the Arrow ail aback and caus- '
ing her boom to jibe over and breaking her yhiskur
polo.
The balloon Jib was at once sent down as also the jib
topsail and balloon gaff topsail, working sails bolug set
in their place. Tbe wind alter the first pufl, which
lasted but a lew minutes. Mate out light. so that the
boom bad t > be iiivod out and soarcely steerage wuy
could be maiutAined. The breeze again shifted at flft'y
minutes past nine to the southward aud at ten minutes
past ten was lighter from south by west. After the
squall aud sudden ealfl of wind, as ,
above desenbod, all hands went to work j
splicisg the whisker pole, In order to be ready for .
lurihor use if necessary. Nothln; further transpired, j
of any Interest. The Itaruegat light was pn."?ad on the
homeward trip at 12h. 4Am., and at oue A. M.
the wind freshened from 'ho southwest, and
gain at 2h. 20m. came from the northwest. At 4h. )
].>m. the Uraoie waa siuhted astern crawling up Ilka a i
witch, she having apparently stood out to the eastward i
during tbe night snd caught a lavorable breeze, while
the Arrow had been hugging tne shore. Her'gam, j
howevor, thus made. wsHjusuillcient at this stage to '
be of any practical use to her, lor ut t>b. 04m. thn |
$andy Hook lightship was rounded by tho Arrow and i
tho race was won. The Urscte pas?c.l at ?lh. 37m., !

BOME OF TBE MEN GETTING TOO FINE?BOTH
CBUWa PULIi OVER TBE COURSE? MEASURE
MENTS OF TBH MEN.
SfRiMurmLD, Haas., June 28, 1876.
l'uliing out Irom her boat house a little beforo bis
o'clock lust evening, Yale paddled about foramlntite
or two, then backod up to tho starting lino and want
off over the course at a thirty-three stroke. A quiet,
rather than a tiery, start. After settling down, tbe
work looked greatly like last year's, when, It will be
remembered, she rowed just that many; and lor a six
without coxswain, at least, instead ol an eight with, II
did not seem to be enongb. Bat the Impetus of th?
larger boat seems greater than that of a six, and sh?
shot far between strokes; in lact, looked to shoot very
far, owing !n part to the rather long pom?
ol the oar in the air jmt before- enter
ing the water. Owing to their not smittng
tho wator sharply with tbo oars ?a they ontcr^ bnl
rather llrit getting them in and then by boavy !e|
pressure aud straightening of the knees, letting tbeii
weight on the oar, they commence to slide bodily at
once and continue till the body is perpendicular, thca
ptnling the hands into tbe want and shooting oil'
again. Thay hardly roach as far out for each stroke ai
the Harvard men do, No 0, for instance, though fall
head is thrown well up aud hick, reaching only Irom
the shoulder?, ratbor than from the hips. Mr. Kellogg,
too, at No. 4, though experienced in former races, hardly
rowans well or looks as cosy at his work a* so mo of
tho newer men. Mr. Cook occasionally roaches ona
arm around loo far la his efforts to get a long atroko
forward; indeed it U doubtful it bo doe* not peril* or
who.ly lot go with his outer or left bead for an instant
wfceu the oar is furthest forward. This incurs risk of
losing so mo power, and, while possible to a man who
fenthcrs aa he does, an J, ad Is usual with oarsmen,
with fiis blade hand, it could not bo allowed with one
who, liku Kldrod, 01 the Auouautasi makes tho autei
hand do the leathering. Mr. Wood, at No, 2, rowed weli
yesterday. Altogetlicr the crew travelled wel I
i in', though apparently aiming at a steady
swing rather man racing pace, they shot
the arch of the railroad bridge in 4tu. 15s. and swung
bnakiy oil down stream, rounding the poiut in llm.
aus. from the atari. Tbolr boat looked to hold them
well und is practically h counterpart of the Koglish one
winch they aro compelled to discard. .Sbo ought in
live in a considerable sea, and though Vale dons not
feather ho lilgh us Harvard, yet the miter's coach say's
lie tbinks sbe behaves quite as well In rougn water.
Though toey found uono of ttie Utter on the upper par'
or tUc course, the boat must have bad a taste of it bo
low: still it had died dowu much from two boun
before, when either eight could hardly bare lived ovei
the coursu, ibe wave* ruuning nearly two ieet high on
the lower mile aud a ball. Finishing her row, the laal
ono doubtless over the whole courso prior to the rare,
gave to-day's, and resting a little she turned and cam*
np stream on a comfortable paddle.
HARVARD POUtOWrt.
Harvard was now seen launching, and in a few
minuios was afloat and had crossed the stream to the
west bank near wbere Vale was passing bound up.
Following after, the two eights made a pretty sigh', as
they swung along up lu friendly proximity. Vain doing
tuirt.v-two to tue minute to Harvard's thirty, and nat
urally rather creeping away front her. They kept on
up to ibe start, a little above which, oa the west bank
Ik Vale's boat bouse, a long, low, temporary shed,
while her blue Hag waves on nigh from above a largi
and comiortable look ng brick mansion back a little u;
ihero.nl. Yalu thus gel* ai ouco to the starting point
bnt Harvard has to take a long two miles ot prelim,harj
paddling. A sharp thunderstorm with fast heavy rair
had slightly toued down the intense heal of the pat-1
two unyi Harvard waiting a little, at leoglb
get* to* the line, and in a moment mow
is away. Now the tries an eatirely new plan. Insteat
of steering lor ihe central arch and keeping in mid
river, sue sweep* stoartily to the right aud xhoots tin
two bridges far over toward the western bank and un
der one o! the shorter arches. This brought her onf
directly on the large Hat shoal which lie* Just below lh?
bridge oil the Wr?l Springfield and Agawam side, ana
had ihe water been as low as at some seasocs, shi
would have hud heavy work getting across II, lor tbese
shells, little us they draw, need at least four foci of
water or their apceo is checked. As it was she found
the experiment did nut pay, and though enabling her to
bug both points ami so shorten ber course materially,
she would have gone faster in midstream. In the race t o
boat winning the choice of positions will doubtless take
the western station, but will then row in midstream,
crowding thf other over into tho longer course io thu
east, Bowing but thirty-four to the tninute, slower
than usual for her, Harvard sped on In fine style ami
the men caught admirably together. Indeed it daily
becomes more plain that tbougb sbo may not bare tho
power of her rival, her men are better together. Irreg
ularities in a boat, little defects and eyesores aro nnl
always serious matters. But gelling together?rowing
not as eight diderent forces but as ooo?Is of vital tm
poriance in attaining uod sustaining sooed. Koepini
on clo?e by the west baok all the way, they swept inu
the nrond open river off l^ing Meadow at a quickened
stroke, finishing In not so good time Mthey bave uadt
heretofore. both crews still continue in good Condi
tion, the Ion;: weeks and months of bard work ?ot
feeeming to tell on any ono.
NXCKIT TUN TWO-STROKB OAKS.
only now Mr. Cook bogins *.o drop a little below l.i?

It will be remembered that last year tho unusual
