A New York Aug 6 report describes the Albaty run to Washington slowed by a storm near West Point. Crowds greet the train at Cattaraugus and Poughkeepsie, with a large excursion steamer at Storm King and cadets forming lines at West Point. The storm vacillates as the Plymouth steamer centers the scene and a 7200 strong corps stands at Yonkers.
