We, have letters from various sources to Chicago, all tending to show that the exhibition must prove disastrous. Even the day set apart for the display of lady'equestrlanlsm,—and whloh was looked forward to as the "great day," when fifty thou- sand spectators were confidently expected to be on hand—was the saddest collapse of all, the 'attendaace not reaching more than 1,000, The management seems to have been bad ; the time selected injudicious; and^those who were supposed to havo some Idea of business, knew nothing at all of what was required of them. Nothing seems to have been obnduoted properly. A cor- respondent writing on the 6th, bavb:' . EnrtCB Clippie— The World's Horse Fair Is the topic at pres- ent; though I fear from what I see, that' the crowds expected will not be forthcoming, and consequently that a portion of the prize- takeia will have to whistle for tho money due them. The great event of the fair came off yesterday afternoon, in the exhibition of equMrlama, but was rather feebly attended, although the day Sis all that the most fastidious could desire The deolslon of e Judges and tho spectators was very different—the former giv- ing the first prize to a young lady, and the second to a married one, who, to the opinion of tho people, merited the S300 for the best horsemanship (or .womansbip, as the case maybe).

M.; the Commodore, being to the windward, of course took the lead. ' It soon'became evident that the Nonpareil was orowded with too much canvas, for not moro than thirty seconds after getting the word "go," sho was knocked down by a flaw of wind, and ft was only or superior management on the part of the sailing master, that she was prevented from taking in a great quantity of water. The first tack was made at ox near Fort Tompkms. Btaten Island, at 3 o'clock and 7 minutes; the Com- modore, at this point being 2 minutes and. 26'seconds in ad- vance. From this point the leading boat bein'g'able to carry her sail better than her opponent gradually opened the gap: Both boats'went In west of the West bank; when opposite bnoy 13, the Commodore was 5 minutes and 33 seconds on the load. After passing this point she made a tack to the eastward, by whloh sho lost t minutes and 11 seconds. Buoy No. 9 was rounded by (he Commodore at 3:40: by the.Nonpareil at 3:11:11. Beta were now freely offered on the latter winning the race, her baokere and Mends thinking that the great quantity of canvas would be an advantage coming before the wind, to this they were doomed to disappointment for although she gained 46 seconds, she failed to take the lead. The Commodore passed the stake boat at 4:44; the Nonpareil passed It at 4:44:30. Thus ended one of the finest races that haa taken place to New-York Bay for some years. Losers, as well as those who won, appeared to be well Battened with the day's sport. The Commodore was Bailed by Win. Luther; the Nonpareil by James Btarklns. The Judges were John Jones and W. 0. Peck. We. are under many obligations to Messrs. Wm. Pegg and E. HUyer, members of the B. Y. Club, for taking us on board of both yachts previous to Btarttog, and for other attentions. Aitnothzb Aocouirr.— NoWabbil vs. CoMMOKOBi.—On Thurs- day, Sept. 4, a match race for Jl000, was sailed between the above boats', both of which are attached to the well-known Brooklyn Yacht Club. The Commodore was built by H. Bmedley, a little more than two yeara since, and has won for herself, both to the club , regattas and in match races, an established reputation as one of the fastest yachts of her dimensions, to. qur waters. Dur- ing the summer of 1881, she sailed a match race with the famous yacht Charm, in which she gained considerable edat by coming, out as !'No. 1," to the contest, whloh was a close one. - ' The Nonpareil has just "come out" the present summer wit- nessing her first efforts to our' regattas. Bhe has palled to one or two regattas, but from some cause or other, has not as yet realised the predictions of her friends.

"Well," laughs Dan, "if ho can beat me, I win $600 anytime; it's rather heavy." Meddler visits " the next day, and tells Joe that Dan says he has cheek < for six rows of teeth, to talk of beating him. In this v . most bitter feelings have been engendered between two' clever gentlemen, and we honestly believe that Mr. Little rather hare had bis right hand (he plays left-handed-lea' than have lost the match, while Mr. Lynoh felt about tin way. He has been considered the Champion of CaUfornlt since May, 1S5S, when Mr. Fhelan left the' State to go to York. The Judges, Messrs. Maher, Lum, and Phelan, U» "Ohlef' acting as referee, called for play at twenty mlnuta eight, and the contestants came forward for the encounter, Lynch having removed his coat cravat and collar, while antagonist laid aslda bis coatlust as he would to play i gu amusement in his saloon. The betting was at oven; Mr. having the call over Mr. Little. A description of the sen may not be amiss. Daniel Lynoh Is a native of Louisiana, and may be about years of age, although he would readily pass to a orowd for being about five feet cloven Inches high, and very lithe and rul of figure. He has a good head, with a small raoe and features, curly-black hair, and crisp moustache, black eyi. a thoughtful, if not care-worn, -expression of countenanoe. Lynoh began playing billiards when about thirteen years ol since which tune he has been more or less a\romlnent ad. and champion of its beneficial effects upon the body ana ~ In New Orleans, where he was brought up, ho was regard! a crack player, and beat all competitors at the four-ball. elthor caroms or full game. He made a trip up the rf beat a man named WUber, at Chicago, and then home. In 1853, he went to California, and, after a fo sojourn to San Francisco, went to Iowa Hill, Placer the south east and there was Just enough of It for each of them to display their sailing enalltles to good advantage. The course' was from a stake boat anchored off the club house of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, to the buoy on the west bank, to the lower bay, known as. Number Nine; thence book to the place of starting. The distance was something more than twenty miles. At 1 o'clook they made a good atari, (he Nonpareil, for a Bhort distance, showing a little in front; this was attributed to those who sailed her being rather, more expert to sending bar off. The Commodore, however, soon ranged alongside of her, and gallantly challenged her for the lead; after a brief.contest she obtained it and away both boats sped for the lower bay to splen- did style. As they approached the west bank, the Commodore had the 111 luck to break .her centro-boord, whloh compelled her to reduce her soil. In consequence of which the Nonpareil passed hor, and turned buoy No. 0 more than one minute ahead of her.
