A Regatta.-The Whitehall boatmen were

and the boat was drawn up and borne Oft to
her lodging by some 20 volunteers eager to as
sist in this service. We rejoice to see the Anne
rican youth engaging as amateurs IN these
wholesome exercises, so appropriate to our sea
port and to our national character as mari
time people,
We had no idea, until to-day, that there were
as many as 90 amateur boat clubs. allsprung up
within few years from the emulation excited
by the extraordinary feats and fame OF those OF
Whitehall, whose original vocation, and which
is that of several Of them now, was the accom-
mediation Of passengers, going to ships coming
up the bay, or 10 vessels of war in the stream,
&c. We hope they will unite together to give,
on some fine day, trial OF skill similar to the
splendid regattas common in Europe. Another
regatta might be got up among our beautiful
and numerous sail boats, which are almost al
waysseen plying about our harbor Letthe Mar
rows or Bedlow's Island be the extreme point
of the course 1t would be a scene worth see
ing and we throw out the hint for the conslde-
of our amateur youth.-N y. star.
