Special DupaieA to The Tribune. Saratoga, Jnly 0.—*The first day of the an nual regatta of Uio National Association of Am ateur Oarsmen was successful enough so far as tho races wore concerned. There wss no crowd, tho grand ami oUicr stands being pitifully empty. Hence tho day did not count for much in Uie estimation of Saratoga people. The races began at 10 o’clock, and a race was started every hour thereafter until 1. There was no delay or hitch. The lake was In 'splendid condition throughout, proving, wnat has often been, as serted, that tho morning Is Uie time for calm water and prompt races ou Lake Saratoga. TUB FIRST EVENT was tho pair oars, for which the entries were tho Olympics, of Albany, Uie Wah-wah-sums, of Saginaw, Mich., and two crews from the Zephyrs, of Detroit. The second pair from De troit did not arrive la time to pull, and Uie first pair might ns well have kept out, since they steered straight for thn east shore instead of the finish-line, and were not seen afterword. This left the roco to Uie Olympics and Wok-wale auras. The latter, John H. Clegg and John Mc- Gregor, ore powerful men. The Albany pair ore brothers, T. J. and R. T. German, and well known for their strength and endur ranee. After a very pretty struggle Uio Olympics got the lead at tho mile, steering a s tralght course, and held the advantage to Uio close, crossing the line In Tho Wall wah-Sums’ time was 9:57Jf. AH the races of this regatta are mile mid a-half, straight away. TUB NEXT TWO RACES were devoid of Interest. First, Uie Cornell Col lege four rowed over tho course in 9:ls—very good time—hi order to win the College Cup. There wore uo contestants,—the Wesleyan, Columbia, ami Harvard falling to send repre sentatives. The J. Lewis, of Cornell, had a walk-over for Uio Triton Cup,—making Uie course In 11 ° THE TIIRBE ENSUING RACES, trial heats of the senior single, were very Inter esting. In Uio first heat were Murray, called tho “darkhorso,” from Uie Elizabeths, of Portsmouth, Va.; Grelr, of Lachlno; PNUlng lon, of Brooklyn; Lnug, of Pittsburg, and Mus grovc, of St. John’s Club, New Orleans. Mur ray took the lead at the start oud hold It throughput, winning In Musgrovo ireased him somewhat, taking second plnco.fn 11:40)4. Pilkineton came In last. THE SECOND HEAT Included Ralhbono, champion of tho Ilnrlem, weighing but 130, ami undoubtedly the fastest oarsman of bis weight In thu world; Phillips, of Inc Triton, Newark; Higgins, of Cohoes; Lar son. Courtney's pet oupll; and Brcnan, of Now Orleans. Tho betting was good on Lnrmon against Rntbbone. the latter generally at odds ol three to one. Lsrmon failed utterly, how ever, coming in last. Rathbonodrew oulcklr to tbo front, and won In Phillips was second In 11 ■ Tnn TntitD tkial n J ? h u n ?. rott i V ’ V!' amt),on of Who did the finish; * rank Mumford, chainplou of Louisiana; Lyon, of New York; nvudmnn, of -Minneapolis, who was the hlud man in the race; and irank Holmes, of the Pawtucket Club, the favorite. Frank Yates did not appear. Holmes had a bard and prottv race with Mumford, who clung to him closely, but could not catch up. Ihe time was considerably faster than before, Holmes winning in 10:B3&; Mumford, lOsßStf! TUB CLOSING KACH was the alx-oarcd botwoon the crows of the Dauntless, of New York, In a gig with a boat awaln, aJid the Mutuals, of Albany, and the ShuwrouU, of Boston, In shells. With tho Dauntless, six thus handicapped, the betting favored the Mutuals. Tho Dauntless six made a gallant effort, however, and, had the boat swain been abutter stcerer,'iho result would havaproved excitingly close. The Mutuals and abuwmuts sot out with a splendid stroke, wblcb was too rapid, however, they being unable to hold out at 40 and 43 to the minute. The Dauntless spurted at the half mile, and kept up a warm pace thereafter. Tho Mutuals steered very wildly, but woro so far In advantage that they won.easily In 8;00; Dauntless, 0:051tf; bhawmuts, ’ ’ THE UAOE9 Of TUB FOURS wilt be the feature of the regatta.

Ho is tall and dork, liua a decid edly Moohlstophclian cast of couutcnsucc, with the regulation quantity of nose, block mus tache, and sinister expression. To gain his cods ho can be as humble as Uriah Ueep If necessary, or he cm bring to hear the plausibility of a Mteauber, lie Is said to have once had o sort of a left-handed connection with Journalism in this city, and he lately obtained soma notoriety as tbo agent of tho Juvenile “ Pinafore ” Com pany. He has turned up again. Ho Is tho in dividual who was discharged hy Messrs. Locke and IlavcrJy, of tho Now York Lyceum, for conduct which, out of regard for Tub Tiupukb readers, we will not specify; he is the fellow who then went to Mr. Hooicy, before that gentleman knew his character, and obtained a position as agent of the Juvenile, “Pinafore” Company, Ho came to this city. His bearing toword certain young ladies m Unit company drew down upon his head Hie wrath of Mr. Hooicy, Mr. Nixon, and oUicrs more or less connected with the organization. He was denounced by nil as a rascal. From hero ho went to Milwaukee with the party. His designs upon throe of the children—particularly upon one young lady aged about IG-wcro so apparent that Mr. Nixon, who was with the troupe, ob jected to him having anything further to do with It, but allowed him his salary until the expiration of his con tract. Thereupon, thrown out for o : cause similar to that which severed his connec tion with Haverly, he Induced three of the children to stop playing. The company’s route was formed, but without these girls the engage ments could not be filled. Conscqucutjy the organlzaUon disbanded, and with the exception of the three girls and Gilmore, alias Delmar, all returned to Chicago. For some ten days he re mained In Milwaukee and tried to “ work ” the people of that town lor a benefit. The people knew him, however, and wouldn’t respond. I hen he came to Chicago, when Mr. Ilooley cantured Uio children and packed Uicm home. .Mr. Gilmore, alias Delmar, tried his best to get a ticket for New York out of ilooley. Ue went upon the stool of repentance, admitted that ho had done wrong.—very much wrong; collared the confiding reporter of a morning paper, and stuffed him with a Jot of what is commonly known as “ taffy,” which tho young man print ed. Hooicy, however, was not so gullible ns the reporter, and ho wouldn’t bite. Mr. Gil more, alias Dclmar, bad caused Uie breaking up of Uie company. Uicrcby nullifying his contract with Ilooley. Bo not a ticket could he get to New York from the Mcgathcrlna manager. However, Mr. Gilmore, alias Delmar, has reach ed Gotham. WheUier he walked there or met some confining capitalist who took compassion upon him Is not known; but there ho is, and ho now turns up In the role of it blackmailer. Yes terday Mr. ilooley received this letter: No. 53 Jam: Stkert, New Yohk, July 7,1870. /». it. Iloole y, (Jhicaito— Sin: I desire the Imnio d ate payment of Inclosed bill.

HOWISHY TUBATHE. A’eio J'flpfc IFnrM, July 8. s To-morrow evening tho Bowery Theatre will • end Its career In tho fifty-fourth year of Its age. | It closes with the benefit of Its last manager. And thereafter, under a new name and with al terations, will become a German theatre. Last , night was substantially the closing one,—for a [ benefit evening “counts for nothing,” as Jitp I Van irdilfc says, in green-room parlance. Tho | performances were of the old-fashloncd, raelo ; dramatic sort,—the dramas being “Regulator’s i Doom,” “Jack Junk,” “Llfo for Life,” and “Irish Emigrants.” After tho performances-* i which were witnessed by an Immense audience, among whom Were not a few “old Bowery boys,” who had In childhood sccn.Tom ITamhlln [ In hie glory—a World reporter found Manager icrdlnand W.

Mr. Kramer, the woprletorof the house,* who also has the At nolle Garden next door, Is ot present out of the city, but has written to me requesting me not leave until his return, and an he is unfamiliar .with* theatrical affairs he will probably want me to act as tils agent, but Mine.

ONE WHO CANNOT SEE IT. Tq Editor oj The lYibune. Chicago, July 9.—After reading several arti cles lately on “ amateurs 11 by parties who are bent ou saving the “ drama,” ft occurred to mo that the drama needs protection from the recent assault of .one of its authors as much as from Its Interpreters. I dare say the drama depends not so much upon the fact of whether actors arc paid for their services or not as it docs upon whether its authors are loyal to it. i claim that W. S. Gilbert has selfishly given the drama of to-day a mortal wound. Nothlngcon withstand tho blight of ridicule, and how ho who has modo a name and fortune In the exercise of a treat profession can coollv go to work and cut Uie throats of a thousand co-laborers for bis own glory siiul aggrandizement I cannot see. Who can bo stupid enough after witnessing “ En gaged” to enjoy any of the many lino emotional dramas of the dav I Who can hear of u lover drawing pictures’of a collage for bis sweetheart without wondering If he is a train wrecker and she his abettor! Who will witness the flight of a runaway couple without looking for a pursuer accompanied by his footmen hear ing the wedding cake to prove his prior claim? Who can possibly listen to the ofl-tlmcs hcou- Ufully-wrltten and emotionally-rendered out pourings of a broken heart without eagerly look ing for a plate of tarts? What passionate lover wilt be listened to with attention after the high strung absurdities of Cheviot Hill? Jf Gilbert wishes to rail society Into Ids views M propri ety, must he needs spoil Us appreciation of all the beautiful sentiments,—all Die great thoughts which the drama of to-dav places before the people with a strength never attained by other literature? If there were any fun In the play managers would have an excuse for producing It, even If they did thereby alter the public taste so great ly that oilier works la their repertoire would have to take a back scat. But where Is tho tun i In u man taking two pounds for hU sweetheart by her own advice? In another man foiling lu love with live women at a moment's notice, be cause their widely differing characteristics all strike him ns being just what he is looking fur id uwifol In a woman nut knowing whither' she Is maid, wife, widow, or a mother of a family? Vet people laugh because Gilbert tells them In the programme that It is funny. 1 re peat that “Engaged ” ts a death-blow to the legitimate comedy of the dnv. It upsets human nature. It looks os If Mr. Hilbert had stood ou Ills head, seen the world upside down, and tried to make people believe in the reality of his dis tuned vision. I’pay-Goer. DRAMATIC NOTES. Next season J. B.

The agitation created smomr the specta tors mav be imagined, but the (ear of accidents caused no one to leave bis place, particularly as half a dozen grooms stopped forward to atop the runaway animals, which, moreover, were ao well accustomed to the ring by thdr training that they did not attempt to dash over the boundary, nor even to make a rush for the eu* try to the stables. Ikuhamu displaced great courage and presence of mind, for lie lumped over tbe chariot ou to the back of oue of the horses, seized the broken reios, and by . the ox* crtloa of great strength at last succeeded iu puli lug uo the animals, which appeared half ex hausted. The applause which greeted this feat was deafening.

SHOT DEAD. A Human Seeking to Escape Killed by o’ Policeman. The killing of a young man by a police officer was reported at an early boar this morning from the lllnman Street Police Station, In the south western portion of the city. At 11:80 o’clock Policeman John Collins, while (raveling his heat, found six young men regaling themselves over something in a Darn hi the rear of No. 1 Kansas street, owned and occupied by a grocer named Thomas Dunn. He entered and ques tioned them, but at they would give no satis factory account of their business there, and aa their presence at that hour of the night was at least suspicious, ho concluded to arrest two of them, and at onco announced his Inten tions. A young man named James Luhcy was ouo of those whom be boil Intended to arrest, and Uio officer in attempting to lay lands on him was struck In the face. This was a signal for the crowd to pitch upon him, and they pounded him severely about the head with his own baton, which was wrested from his turn]. After punching ami kicking him, the officer concluded that his life was In danger, and drew his revolver In order to place himself upon the offensive. The word was given by Uio man who saw the pistol drawn, and the crowd ran nut of the door, and endeavored to escape. Collins followed Halier, the one wbohad commenced the assault, imd, after ordering him to halt several times, Area two shuts In close succession. I.nhey fell to the ground, and upon coming up to him the officer found that one of his bullets had entered Labcy’s right sKJo Just above tlio hip, ami hml gone clear through the body, making a terrible wound wlilch could not fail to result fatally. The Injured voting roan was at once taken to the borne of his parents, No. 512 West Twelfth street, and Dr. Fraser sent for, but the unfor tunate fellow died In twenty minutes.

Senator Burnside on Ills llesolntlon—A Canal Across the Isthmus under Forelcn Control Hostile to American Interests. ,Ve» York Tribune, July 7. Any talk with Senator Burnside on public af fairs at this lime naturally cornea very soou to the subject of the resolution which he Intro duced In the Senate just before the adjourn ment, reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine ami ap plying It to the Isthmus Canal project. Such was the case with a conversation between the Hhodo Island Senator and a TriZ/nne representa tive which took place at the Fifth Avenue Ho tel. (Jen. Burnside said, lu reply to a question as to bis purpose in offering the resolution: “When I presented It to.the Senate there was a possibility of a further prolongation of the session, and I thought there would be nu oppor tunity to debate the question, illy Idea was to trive early notice to the European projectors of a canal across the isthmus that the American people regard their moroment as an Intrusion upon territory which should .properly bo under American influence, and will in evitably come under American control at some time In the future. Whether the canal bo built by & foreign Government or by the Individual subscrlptlonsofforclcucrs.U would beanlaconls tic to the Interests of the United Slates. Before any money is spent In the organisation of u trench company, the employment of engineers, and so forth, it is but. fair that we should give notice of Urn views wc entertain upon Uie sub ject, A passage between Hie Atlantic and Hie 1 aclflc Oceans, across territory which must of necessity look to us for its future good order and luaustrial progress, must not bo In the bunds of Europeans.” “ Do you think the money could be raised in this country to construct the canal 1”—“ When there Is need of the canal to advance American interests the Government can loan Its credit for its construction, Just us it boa In the past,to facilitate other Important National enterprises. Just now theio is a strong prejudice against Government subsidies, but it wilt nut last al ways. When Important commercial mid politic al interests of a strictly National chaructcrnro at stake, ibis leullng will disappear. Jam by no means certain, however, ilut a canal need bo opened. Assuredly there Is no Imperative ne cessity for one at this time. We shall soon have two additional lines of railroad across thu continent—making three in all—and the facili ties for transportation between the Atlantic and I’uclfle will be ample. Why should wu al low a largo share of this transporluiKm to *be taken away from American railroads and given to English, French, mid German vessel-owners I" ” W hat do you think of Cant. Eads’ plan for a marine railway across the Isthmusl”—“l read bis letter In the Tribune with great inter est. I am not an admirer of Capt. Eads* course in connection with legislation at Wash jngtor, but I believe he is a great engineer, ills project fora railway which could ho built with American capital os a commercial enter prise should bo carefully considered. The pos sibility of such a plan’s succeeding is an addi tional reason why wo should discourage the French canal scheme In its inclplcucy.” “ You evidently think it the munifeft destiny of this Kepubltc to acquire all titc territory down to the Isthmus.”— 1 “I certainly do. Nothing is plainer than that the natural course of events will lead to the absorption of Mexico and the Central American States. American energy will seek an outlet In Unit direction, and tho native populations, which cannot sus tain orderly government themselves, will come under the control of the superior race. Nothing our Government can do on tlnwborder will secure peace und order lu might os well trv to manage a mule by taking hold of bis bind leg, Mexico Is an unruly aul raal, and we must take bar by Um head.” “How could we assimilate such a mass of turbulent, alien people with our system of government!”— I “That brings up the common objection to territorial expansion. 1 ropiy that 1 sea nothing m our Constitution which makes it essential that, wo should create now States immediately out of all the territory wo may ac quire. There is no reason why wo sbauld nut control by a protectorate large territories out side of the btates. There is nothing In our sys tem of government antagonistic to such au ar rangement.” ** Would it not bo difficult to control these alien populations if we should take them under our protecting caret”—“Not at all.
