The Sparrow was so far behind that the
Judges did not-deem it necessary to time her
but, as the sequel will show, " the race is not
always to the swift"
After rounding the stake-boat on the first
ronnd, the .alice met with another misfortune;
in taking in her flying jib it got overheard, and
for some minutes fairly anchored her. She.
appeared doomed to misfortune to-day. / can
but wish her gentlemanly owner better luck
next time. a5s
By the time the yachts had completed the
first round the wind had lulled very much. In
d few minutes the Sylph took the lead, which
she maintained for the remainder of the race,
closely followed by the Ripple
just after the leading boats rounded the last
stake a severe squat came out from the south
east. The Sfsngaree led off by dropping her
mainsail and coming on under her jib ; the
.alice settled away every thing; the flgerine
tried to lower her sails, but her halyard got
foul and she capsized; boat and crew were
afterwards brought in by one of the stake
boats. The Sylph and Ripple first dropped
their peaks, and afterwards their whole main
sails; but, as the wind would occasionally lull,
up would 60 their mainsails, or part Of them
the hosting Of an inch of canvas on one
appearing to be the signal for the others. As
pretty contest as ever Witnessed was that
between the sylph and Ripple for the lastmile
and'a half of the race The spectators on the
| wharf would alternately cheer one or the other,
as points Of seamanship, or more properly
workmanship, were displayed by their respect
| i've captains and crews. The scene on the
wharf was comparable, in excitement, to
nothing have ever witnessed, unless it was the
Metairie Race-course last spring, when Lea
ington won the State Post Stake, beating
| Lecomte, etc. Many there are, too. who, not
4 outstanding the result to-day, think the Rip
Pile, on a future occasion, and under other cir
cumstances, may turn the tables on her victors

: Eds. Cgescs,st - The gale that had been
raging for the past two days has IN . measure
wore itself out, although this morning we had
i stiff breeze from the Sort hseast 5ust such q
wind as makes glad the heart Of 2 true yachts
man. The Club met at 40 b clock and arranged
all the preliminaries for the race: In addition
to making arrangements for the race, they
passed q very Important amendment to their
laws, or rather an addition to them. II WAS to
this effect provided that all races Of the Club
should be triangular distance fifteen miles,
and that the judges should not start yachts in d
regatta, unless in their opinion there was a five
knot breeze The adoption OF this rule will pre-
vent q recurrence of those floating races that
have so often hitherto marred our sports; races
that have furnished no amusement to the racers
nor lockers on.
The race to-day was q triangular one,
angles of two and q half miles, twice round,
the first Stake Boat being dead to windward
The yachts were divided into three classes,
prize for each class On drawing for position in
starting, it resulted as follows:

Col Thos Tenant, residing ON farm Of about
100 acres. near St. Michaels, Talbot county
Maryland, raised this year eight hundred and
fifty.six bushels of prime wheat, for which he
has been offered two dollars per bushel. We
understand the wheat (most of it white wheat)
is Of the very best quality raised, and in such
fine condition as to make it very desirable for
seed. On. said farm there will be raised fair
crop of corn, and had the season been favorable
his crop would have been quite as good, in pro-
portion, as his wheat crop.

THE MeDoNoGH AGENoY.-The vexed ques-

last evening, and now only requires the appro-
baton Of the Mayor to become a law. 1t is
thought this bill will be acceptable to the chief
officer Of the city, as it gives him the nominating
power. The ordinance provides that two of the
agents shall be chosen from the citizens of New
Orleans and one from the city of Baltimore. A
large number of communications were last night
received by the First Branch OF the Council IRON ON
