Hobokeu, N. J-, yesterday atteruoon, to Witness the first game or football ot lbs season betweon those colleges. In addition to me throng ol students there wore several huudrod spectators, many ol tbe number being ol the fair sex. who came to the scene of the battle In The rules under which tbe teams played wore "The Atneudod Kugby." uwiag to tbe heavy rain ol Friday the ground was somewhat heavy, and along the loul lint to tbo right of the field there wore large pools of wntor mid considerable mud. At each end ol the level stretch of turl posts, twonty-flvo reel high, about filtcen feet apart, and ten feet up the post is a cross bur.

To win a goal the ball is to bo kicked over the bar a "touch down" is where the ball is carried bo. youd tbe gosl hue and touched to the ground. Three touch downs equal a goal under the present college rules. Play was continued one hour and a hall, wirti a breathing spell at "half time." or when forty-five minutes were called, the rest not being Included. READY VOR BDSISKSS.

The Princeton boye were early on the ground, lhey wore black caps, orange shirts, and In some tustanoos white kult shirts over the orange, black knee pants orange siockiugs. Harvard's representatives were not late. They rode over irom New Vork, ready dressed in their wull known uniforms? while caps with crimson border, crimson shirts, wuue knoe broecbos and crimson stockings. The teams were sverago slxo, though both coutatu a lew light tnua. The respective captains carefully placed tho players, Soptuin Hodge, ol the Pnuoelona, selecting the sturdy Bradlord, '81; Ballard, '8U; Stevens, '78; Ctarx, '78; Devoreux, '80; Bony, '81; Lee, '80; Enos, '78, aud NVylly, '79, as tho those who wore to do tho charging and collarlng-tho real rough work ol tho contest.

Half way back canto Irving, '78; Bodge, '79, and UoNalr, that would not shirk and aro floot ol loot. Noar tbe goal were the Dyke, '78; Cutis, '80, aud Minor, '7ft To tho lattor is the responsibility ol dolending tho fortress, and cool, nervy men aro demanded. With equal care Captain Cushiug statioued tils '78; Littauer, '78; l'orry, 79; Holmes, '79; Gushing, '79; Swilt, '79, aud Gushing, M. were tho forwards; Austin, '79; Blunchartl, JI. Harrington, M.

Houston, '79, and Holdeu, were tho hall-backs. Bacon, '80; Lombard, '78, tDd Wotheroee, '78, wore near tho coal. Mr. Rosslo, '79, was Princeton's umpire; Mr. Barlow, 'ill, held like position lor Harvard, and Mr.

Seatuon, '79, of Haryard, was agfood upou us rolorooe AT WOliK. Precisely at half-past two o'clock game was nailed, Princeton having won the tosa, aud piucing Harvard to the sun aud against the wiud, which blowag.le. Blsuchard, ol Harvard, kicked off, aud the ball wen1 whirling and snapping against the wind down toward Princeton's goal. Dodge caugbt it and passed it over to auoihor orange, whon thero was a rush, tho first scrimmage, aud a Harvard catching tho leather fairly on theeod ol his toes sent it out ol bounds. It was secured by a Princetou, aud immediately Diay was resuinod, hot work lug the word' Three pretty rough and tumbles occurred lu as many mluutes, and a uiugiiificent run by Wetherbee, of the crimsons, and a grand lorward kick by Blaneharu, sent the ball iu such dangerous proximity to Princeton's lortress, the latter loughl with doterniluulioii, end finally, getting pusaessiou ol the leather, Cutis ran behind tho goal line and touched lor salety.

Now tbe contest begau in deep eurufestuesa. The ball being kicked toward the Hurvurd Hues, thsro was beautiful play by the majority ol the men Here a crimson with the hall under his arm was goiug liko a quarter horso down the centre of the Held, knocking muu ol oraugu down us II they were ouly reeds, uutil his swimming career was euduouly ouued by sulwurt Princeton buck charglug him, wheu each measured their length en the wet ground, aud others rushing in, there was a mass ol mou writhing like eels ou the ball. Again, on the right or loft "I the field a magnificent sirulgut shot kick would bo rnauo bv ono, men uuothor, and the leather heiug caught, hack It would go like a ritlo ball until slopped, when there was unoiher rush, crimson and orange on top ol each other or turning sommersaulls or stauding ou ihoir neuds, but yet keep. ing tight bold ol tho objact until "down" was culled, Thau tuo hoys would uutwtst themselves, and, with smiles ail over their laces, recommence tuo terribly i earnest business. The platers who distinguished I themselves at this juueture were, Houston, Wether, bee Bluuchard aud Loiluuer, ol the llarvards, und Bodgo, Cults, Van Uyke and McNair, of tho Princetons For lully thirty minutes thev ran and tumbled each Other over without udvuntuge ou eitber side.

Now the oall was kicked dowu lUo held into Prlucetou territory by a crimson "lorward," Holmes, of the Hur varus, boiug there to secure It, uud, rushing toward the lortress UeleUded by the orange lads, he sent all oppouuuts spinning right uml loll, some ou their bucks and some on tlieii heads, and manuged agniUst nil Obstacles to rush behind tbe goal posts aud obtain the first "touch dowu' lor Howard, "Kiili-raliruh," sbouied tUo Cambridge geulleuion. Priucuton did not relish the situation. But in the try lor goals by tbe Harvurds, the kick joins made by Captain Gushing, he lulled to lilt the Mil over tho crossbar, and Piiuoetou tell relieved at narrow escape. Twelve minutes more, during Winch thero wero briliiaiil runs and cenire plays by Lotiy Bradford, steveus und Guns, ol the orange tuckets, aud xteru work by uil ibe HurVards, the game progiessod, wheu "nail lime" wuscailel, and I tie boys Hupped to rest und eat lemons. I be appearance ol tbe inen was not particularly bundeoiuo.

Ilinr clean, shining uuiloruis were besmeared with mud, luces wore scratched uud Very bauds wore Into blacksmiths. and demoralisation geuoruliy was upparont in their ouiwurd fix. A.Vb ROIOIIBR. Ends wcro changed, the Harvards having tho benefit ol tho ind and lite nun was behind their backs. McNair headed oil lor Princeton, and the bull going into Harrington's bauds bo inauo a magi.Iliceut run, kuoCKlOg over five orauge buys like so many nlue PIUS out his gn at pluck was ol uo uvuil as two Princeton "backs'' collared bun, aud one ol llle fierce struggles ot Ibe day ensued, iho result ol the sctiiu.

None ol the men could be recognized they struggled aud lugged and twisted each other irom tldo to side. In tins scrimniu-e Captain Bongo, of the Princetons, ban a outer iturt torn luio ribbons. I hen Holmes and I buyer, ol the Harvards, gut the bal. lu turn, tbe latter in spito ol all opposition reaching Princeton's lino and loathing dawn, but mo wus disputed by lli? orange jackets, they claiming thut tno j' ay was loul, alio it was eventually disallowed.

Ballard, ol the Princetons, secured Ibu leather nbd oown the right field went fit lug. but Bacon, ol tne pnt nun i his head, and Kicked it straigi.l toward Ibe Hues Ol tbo opposlllou. Bluuchard neljjed uniaxiogly ut thus i pluy, and bad it not been for un lolribgement ol tho rules would liuve secured a touch down. He did not get oQ scot Iroe, how. ver, as in his run bo twisted I rigbt unkio urnbiy, aud soon was compelled to retire, Curiam, '79, luking his place.

Pastor and luster, rung Iter and rougher grew tne work. Men were knocked down and jumped ou; tlietr l.sels took tbe places ol their heads; two orange Jackets li-d their logs hurt, and uuothor was kicked in 1111' stouiacti; one Harvard boy lost a tooth, uud a second bobbed 1 his Ueud up aud down uil over tlio held to be certain that his buck was not dtshicaied.

SEVERE SHOCK Ok KAKTIIQUAKB. An alarming shock of earthquake was felt in Lima and in Caliuo at ubout two o'ciouk on the morning of the Oth lust.

Tne alarm croated was less from the violence ol the suook than Iruin lis long duration. The uudulation was clearly perceptible from north to south, and many parlies in Lima nocture that It lusted more than a minute, but this, we think, is an extravagant estimate. The sensation crouled by this phenomenon was not unlike that produced by the momorable earthquake ol the 9ih of May lust. According to telegrams published by the Comercio on ibo 9th lust, the earthquake ou tbe morning ol tbat day was severely foil in Fisco, lea andChinono.

My telegrams of last nlgbt and to-day will have laid before you the melancholy tale in connection with the couveyunco of llio Cleopatra's Needle to England. All appears to havegono well both on board the Olga and the Cloopatra, which tho Olga bad in tow, nntll about Saturday altcrnoon last, when the wcaihor became threatening. There was not much alarm felt as to the seagoing capabilities of the Cleopatra. Tho Cleopatra for her crew had eight Mulleso sailors, commanded by Captain Carter, an old and experienced Peninsular and Oriental commander. About early morning a gale sprang ap, tbo wind Increasing luriously, so that by five o'clock, when off Cape Fluisterre, there was a perfect storin, wind southwest, sea fearfully high and dangerous.

Tbo Daromoter, which had stood at noon at 2U 70, wus stsudily tailing, Uy evening the storm was oven worse, and at six o'clock P. M. the Cleopatra was thrown on her beam ouds by a tremendous sea. Her crow aid they could to right her, cutting the must awuy, but all tliuir ullorts were lruitlues. There she lay on bor beam ouds, and ou board tho Olga it was thought slio would I'ounuer.

Slguais of distress were now mudo from the Clouputra, and about ten P. M. lliero seemed i trilling lull, undut once six of the crew ol the Otga, having their second male, Mr. William Asken, native ol Liverpool, wno in described us a splendid uud brave young follow, volunteered to go to tho rescue. To launch a bout Into that seething mass ol fuutn was no ussy task, but the deed was done, and on sped the brave lellowsou their orraud of mercy.

They were watcbed with breathless interest. All seemed well. They had rcuohed the side of tho Clouputra, when, with one fell sweep, tno boat is swamped, the living Irotghl are struggling In tbat ragiug wator, and tuat is all we can say. We hope they may be louud, out we can ouly hope. The sad probability is they are lost.

A IIHKAoVUL SIOIIT. The men on bonrd tue Olga, having seen the awful late ol their comrades, were struck with horror, uud Captain liookh could uol permit a aocoud attempt tu that uwiul watery strile. There lay the Cleopatra, tho sea sweeping her as she lay ou Uor beam ends, hor lights out, and "Now, alone o'clock on Monday morulug, tue crow ol the Olga are ruluulautly obliged to cut tue low the Cleopatra lias no lights ou board ami It is leared tuat tuoy may strike each other with lutul results. Here the Cleopatra had to be lull to drill; but ibeOlga kept as close as posslblo until seven o'cloek Monday morning. At tins time Cuptulu Booth, by a clever piece ol seamanship, brought his vessel very near the Cleopatra.

A line was sent across, uud by tins means boat from tue Oiga wus pushed to tho Cleopatra. The crew got in and wore puhed across to the Olga, where they felt at least sale. The Olga, alter this rescue, went in search ol the missing bout's crew; but uuihiug could be aeon ol boat or crew, though tuoy did manage lo pica up a bnailiooK. The Cleopatra was thou rearched lor, but nothing could oe seeu of her. Several hours wore tukeo up in this search, and at oue M.

ou Monday it is abandoned, the supposition being that she had loundcred. When last seen the "Needle 'wus in Int. 44 63 north and lou. 7 62 west. RKTIRMNO TO UfOhAXP.

Nothing now icuiuined nut to start for England, which was Immediately done, the Ulga passing tne Lizard at dusk ou Woduosduy and arriving ut Falmouth at eight P. M. It should be slated tli.it tbo Cleopatra's mast was seen by the Olga, but tiolhlug else wbutever. All the Ulga's crew speak in high terms ol the bravery uud corn age of their unfortunate shipmates. Captain Curler, ol lha Cleopatra, stales thai during the whole oi his loug seitiariug career he never experienced suoh awiul weather as mat of tiuuuuy night.

M. KILLED IN THE OPEN. An Exhilarating Day with the Queens County Hounds. ALL HEMPSTEAD AT THE CHASE. The Pack Improve with Praotice and Bun Better.

Yesterday dawned rather Inaueptoiously for the Lonj Island lux buntera, but tbe day's good performance belled tbe morning's poor promiae. Tbe blustering gale ol tbe nigbt before bad been wild and tempeatnoui enoueb to suggest tbe unrooting of bait the in tbe neighborhood and tbe dleappearance of all mova. ble things irotn the surtuce ol Hempstead plains, atiU at daybreak tbe winds bad not woolly spent their lory. With rare strength and continuity the storm that had all night through tho woods skirting tbe broad plain and dashed to earth the last lingering leaves ol autumn, leuving tho gaunt bruncbos to point their skeleton fingers In mute protest against such rude spurt, still ltngcrod to toy with the fallen leaves and scatter them as an embroidery on tho well sprinkled turf. Window abutters, that throughout tbe night had banged and slapped l.kc a muffled echo of tbo roll ol musketry coming from tbo distance, still rattled, only a little more ialutiy.

The eky was olear, however, and there was some prospect thai tbe breezo would lesson materially beforo noun, and thus let tbe scent He butler. And eo It happened, to tbe great gratifies. Hon of tbe bunting man. Fortunately, the sandy toll hereabouts had swallowed up moat of the rain (hat badao deluged tbe fields tbe day bolore, though in spots, where there was no sand and tbe soil was light, tbe grouud was yet very soil and spongy. Tbe hour ol meeting was ono o'olock P.

the plaoe Hewlett's Hotel, Hempatoad. It was a court day In town, and this, combined with tbo fact that day was the last Saturday belora tho olactlon, ua duubt contributed to attract a larger crowd than might have gatlierod to see an ordinary meet. Whether ibis be the case or not it Is certain tbo attendance ot non. participants tu tbe obaso was greater than at any tlmo since the bunts commenced. When tbe first horsemen Jogged down mailt streets of Hempstead toward the place of rendezvous, shortly before one o'clock, there wore neads thrust out ol every window on either side, and ranged along tbe sidewalks were fringes of bystanders that swelled to bantofing, chatty crowds In Iront ol and opposite tho hotel Because It was Saturday, too, tbe school, boys bad a holiday, and ol course tbey were on band to see tbe bounds.

The horsemen on arriving trooped Into a yard near tbo botel, and 4 lot of tbe lookers on followed. Hore bridles saddles and curb bits on tbe buutors were inspected with some curiosity. Tbe style In wblcb tbe ndorg sat tbetr horses was matter of some surprise many of the crowd, who could not understaud wbj tbe stirrups were so short. Tbey bad ovidontly Idea that a horse should be ridden in other than tary style, with very long stirrups. All this whlls wagons wore coming up by tbe dozen and tbo imal) boys were squirming about in out ol tbe way places and putting tbomsclvea as noarly under tbo legs of tbe borsea as tbey could conveniently get by tbe aid of tbat oeaseless onorgy peculiar to tbe gaping Juvenile.

Tbo reslloss, eager studs champed ana stared at tblg unwonted scene, and each seemed quite willing to trample a moderate proportion of small boy, so lor a time tblngs were quite brisk and exhilarating. How tbe mothers of these boys would have rejoiced to tbe luu I At one o'olock about a dozen horsemen bad gathered at tbe rendezvous. There were In red cords and tops, Mr. Belmont Purdy, Mr. E.

Zuorowakl and Mr. llobort Center; in dark coats, with boots and corus, were Mr. Ptorre Lorillard, Mr. Frost and Mr. S.

Sauds. Mr. Ularcuco Levey was also preseut, wearing a durk green bunting coat. To compleio tbo gathering there ulso assembled three or lour youths ol tbo neighborhood, on bugs of too general utility order. TUB BOUNDS ARRIVE.

For the Arst time Mr. K. Gray Griswold, the Master ol the Hounds, kept the held waiting, but the delay was very brier. About live uuuutcs alter ouo o'clock bis piuk coat was seen approacuiug Irom the diroctioa ot the kcnuol, the pack trolling ut bis burse's hools, una Fiuputrick, the Whip, bringing up tho rear. A.

hundred cheery voices announced their approach. "Here they coine," was iho cry. uud shouts lug on a chcor greeted their advance. Thou-lbero was the usual fuss preparatory to the start. It Is a curious thing that tho uxaot length ul a stirrup, tho accurate set ol a curb chain, ID short the entire preparation in? oideut to dash across country is scarcely ever determined until tbo moment before tho start.

When these little preliminaries had btou disputcbcd one after uno her the borscmeu moved into the street and formed a circle, lute the centre of which the bound! passed aftor their It was fortunate, too, that some Utile precaution ol this sort was taken else the young men lu buggies would huve driven over the dogs lu their eagerness to get into the front ruuk ot observers. The attentions of tho assembly proving rather pressing. It was deemed to move iorward without delay. Consequently the circle opened at the 'St side, uud, closely followed by a Jostling crowd ol wagons that tnreatencd one uuoiher with do. struoiion, Mr.

UnswolU trotted out In Hie direction Dietz's woods, to the northwost ol tho town, 'fit! horsemen closely followed, the wugons came next, and the whole lowu soemod to be on the road uftel tliem. It was a pretty long and quite a lively procession, presenting on the whole a very lively picturo, somotblug liko the road to a country side rues meeting on a big day. About a quarter of a miia from tho town tho cuvulcudo hailed uud the huntsman prepared to throw oil. Through an opou gate to ins southward the bouuas and huntsmen passed. Alter a field or two the dugs ran along Hie ougo of tne wood.

Presently their head! were turned toward the east, and alter sotno llllls time tho luw whine ol the lesders announced the Quit. First they dushed eastward, then turned toward tht north, then ibay ran In northwesterly direction. Tne fouces wore mostly low at the start, but ihs course ol tho hounds was marked by some very sharp turns, and horses were not uulrequenily confronted quito suddenly by the Jumps. This led to sevoral rulusals at the very beginning ot tho run. leaving the slow ones early ul a disadvantage.

1 bough In most cases tbeso difficulties wore speedily overcome tho majority of the Uenj found Unit tho pack Uau already galuod considerably. Tho hounds are evidently Improving, and ran belter tor the practice tuny have had thus fur. Altor pursuing their way some distance to the northwest they wound around eastward, and Anally brought down the fox In the open, about ball mllo to tho eastward ot Heinpsioad, and within full view of tbo kennol. Mr. GrlBWold, Mr, Zborowskl aud the Whip had kept with tne pack throughout, and though Mr.

Mr. Center and Mr. Frost ouch got a pad and the mask, as usual, wont to the KennoL ON T1IR RUADA It was a marvel that several serious accidents did not occur on the roads, so rupnl was the driving ut ttmo8 ana so closely crowded were the vonlcle.

When tbe Acid had driwn out ol this danger auother confronted Ik wagons were strung out along two ro.uus, across which the dogs wore passing and luto wblcti the rldors were obliged to Jump In order to pursue the etiase.

All things considered tuo run provod to be an excellent one, satisfying all wno kopi It in view lor any distance.
