With glass, We deserted the Maria rounding the
stake boat, at halfpast twelve folio 1ed by the
Julia and the remainder Of the sqaadron, IL
seemed In about the samc order that they
started, with the exception Of the Mystery and
the Spray. They were 60 far behind that they re-
turned without rounding the stake boat. Msaatimc
the wind had hauled little, 30 that the Maria laid
her course up, and was not obliged to make task;
thus having the In k 10 get a fair wind up aud
Gown. 1t was the opinion Of those learned In ouch
matters that, had the homo passage been q dead
beat to wind~ard, the Julia would have been VIC
torious. With the wind abeam, the Maria's length
saved ler, and her suecess only proves her su-
relicrity in this point of salIicg.
AT about half pest one o'clock tho blackstone was
"tuIed round' for Newport, very much to the
delight OF the female passengers. TIE return OF
the yachts was almost IS pretty sight the start
but it was lot appreciated, because those Of tho
outsiders who were not sick and disgustcd we.o
hungry and thirsty, and had more Of an eye
tor beefsteak than the line Of beauty.
As we passed the Maria, the Black
stones bell vas rung, and an attempt was
made TO get up three cheers. II resulted in the
giving Of about one cheer aud half. However, on
the principle Of being grateful for small favors
suppose, Commodore Stevens came down to Ice
ward ind duly knowledged the salntation.
As the Maria rounded the stake boat, (tkc Fire

The Jul;a came in sceoLd the Haze third the Una

($llO) was only between the Ellen Jane aud the
America, it wss given to the first named boat.
So ended the grand regatta at Newport, and every
thing in that quiet village "nturncd unto its &C.
customsd place." Probably affairs in the rest OF tue
world vert on in precise the Same manner an ifit
had never occurred.
But the reporters troubles were not over. II was
necessary to get the time for publication from the
JUDGES record. Not judge could be found. Appli
cation at the Club House wasrecommended. Went to
the Club Houses very pleasant oace, but II seemed
moro like lodge Of "KLow Nothings" than any
thing else. YOUTH play ing Billiards. knew nsthiug;

calling to our aid Boston and Newport editor,
council Of war was held, and it was resolved to
caDy the enemy by an attack Of boarders;
and procuring boat we first assaled the Fire Fly,
lying in the stream. She prepared to repel boarders
and parley was held. Moie Knew Nothings; no
