A considerable delegation at tended from thl city. Th fight, according to tne original intention, wa to have been waged near New Tork, but because of the Interference of th police, or soma other reason, th fray wm adjourned to the neighborhood of thl city.

If the hot weather of the past few day continues for any length of time, there will no longer be any reason of complaint from the sea-side proprietor, that the season la backward and guest few in number.

With the exception of a few places, tbere are no cool and quiet retreats near at band, and a good distance mnst be plsced between those who seek pleasure end the city.
