MARKET THIEvEs.-The Centre Market 70

carriage He stepped aside to inquire the
price of butter, and before he could get tn
his carriage his baskets and provisions were

the defenders.

HE LATE REGArrA.-It may have been no.
tced in various papers, since the regatta on
the 18th inst that the parties contestiDg tor
the prize on that day are not altogether satis-
fed with the result; and az the owner of The
Pioneer, must admit that .am some what
chagrined, or at least not 30 we'll pleased as the
winner of tho pitcher; nevertheless, should
another race be made up, and the Pioneer Can
be admitted, she shall enter as one Of the com.
peetors am satisfied that she could have
beaten either of the other boats in the race on
that day; and it was acknowledged to me, or,
board the Collyer, by the parties betting on
| the other boats, before they found they had a
good pioneer" to lead them, that the .spitcher
was mine without accident" The Pioneer was
beating them 30 fast, until she lost her "centre
board, " that there was no doubt she would
have returned to the Arsenal before the storm,
and won the pitcher. As to the challenges, if
we're " better on chances would seek no
fairer or easier game thar to bet my money ON
the Pioneer, ("bob-tsil nag,') against tho
VIII Watch, the Young America and espe-
cislly the George Washin gton.
