FOLKESTONE, 81??. 16.
Yesterday wu the greatest day ever known for
Folkestone since theepentng of her railway. We have had
a regatta end a Nts such as the " oldest Inhabitant" never
before saw off this town. There wee a regatta here some 16
years ago, but then Folkestone was ecercely more than a
village, sad did not expect the world to take an Warfel la
her amusements. But now that, with her improved port,

magnificent Pavilion Hotel, end tiers of picturelqm Tiflis on
the cliffs above the Budgets road, she has become at ewe
the great starting point for foreign travel, and a ferhiesable
and favourite watering- piece, a grand regatta at Folbseteme
is en event to be chronicled. Whin I ray • paled regatta, I
do not mean that it was to be compared, comidered
merely as a "spectacle," with those erbtacentic
dirplays in the water of Cows with which the
term will doubtless be intimately associated in many minde•
Those snow white mils of towering height and vast expose,
which dip into the sea and conceal from view the elegant
shell, which they propel through the waves with miraculous
!avidity, bad no pert in this coated. In Cask dead there
were (besides rowing boats) eervimahl• selling vessels, whom
dumpy form, dark colour, and whity-brown memo( mode-
rate dimensions, have little beauty in a landonan's eye; but
the wartime population of the soothes coast, for whose
especisl gratification this fete was got up, watched the ems-
petition between theme working vessels with intense ewe&
The town of Folkestone as. fa a state of greet emillseeena

men came from Boulogne to me the sport, and met number
of proms of all realm availed themselves of maid enerme-
