the continued Interpretations Of certain

the fact that these statements are false, and to

MARINE AFFAIRS.
THE GLEN COVE REGATTA.

The good steamboat Croton, on which we embarked
at Ped-sp yesterday morning, took the nonsailing
members Of the New-York Yacht Club and their fam-
lies to the Glen Cove Regatta. As we entered the
Cove beautiful scene burst upon sight. The
vessels Of the Yacht Squadron lay at anchor under
the green hills their white sails standing out against
the dark background and gstening in the sunlight;
while myriads of other vessels from the stately
schooner and ponderous soop down to the tiniest
shallop, all laden with parties OF pleasure-seeking
people, were Swimming over the Cove in every drec
ton. Steamboats, were everywhere blowing up the
placid waters their decks crowded with people from
the City, all alive with excitement, and noisy bands
of brazen instruments woke the quiet of the wooded
hills with thousand echoes Such was the scene on
our first visit to lovely Glen Cove.
But if we give way to the enchantmen, of the occa-
sion aud the locality the readers Of The TRIBUNE will
be minus report of the Regatta. Though the
weather yesterday delightful yet il did not quite
suit the yachtsmen. Their trouble was in the wind
Sometimes it didn't blow at all, then again 1t blew
from the wrong quarter Now it was too stif, and
anon too Heht-at one time it shot out in streaks, at
another pulled in patches-n fact the wind was un-
commonly tickle In the morning early it was in the
east stiff and steady then il veered to the north
east, and at noon it was to the south and southwest
from the eastward again. So it possible that the
yachtsmens grumbling not groundless.
To begin at the beginning. The Regatta was
scrub race for two prizes, which were to be
awarded to the two swest SAILING yachts in the sqad-
ron The starting point was vessel moored abreast
of the wharf at Glen Cove, the west side of which
the Yachts were anchored head to wind at intervals of
100 yards commencing with the yachts of least tun-
mage nearest to the stskeboat. The yachts had their
mainsais, or fore and mainsai, according to their
rig hoisted and gaff topsails set The Committee
reservrg the power however, OF ordering all sal' 10
be lowered before starting or of adopting any mode
of starting that they might deem proper should CIR
cumstances render any change necessary.
The prescribed course of the race was around
stake-boat of Throggs Neck Light passing it TO the
northward; thence around a stake-boat Of Matinn-
cock Point passing il to the northwsrdi thence back
10 the point of starting, passing to the east OF the
stake-boat. The distance marked out by the course
given is about 25 miles, Yachts were allowed %
seconds time per tun for tunnage.

The Committee would not wait for the rest OF the
yachts but after firing gun folio sed the squadron
The Julia in turning so wide got well to windward
and followed close after the Widgeon, now leading
At l;55 the yachts were all sailing along before
stiff breeze nearly abreast but the Widgeon soon
snufed the wind and walking deliberately through
the whole Of them, took her place at the head
of the race. 1t was siDgularly pleasing to
note the maneuvers OF the feet sailing in dense
mass, then in hollow square, anon in diagonal
line and finally forming sharp wedge, with the keen
keel of the Commodore yacht for its salient angle.
A slant of wind sent the Mystery ahead but far to
the leeward for which favor she fired several ssutes
from her gun, which replied to from the gun of
the Croton. At 81 the majority of the yachts were
close under the land in Cow Bay; the Haze ahead,
under fine wind. The Widgeon and the Julia coon
caught the slant before which the Haze was skim
ming and put after her with alacrity. On rounding
sandiss Point the Julia got to wndward Of the Haze
ard went past her. and the Widgeon made sharp
push to take the wind out Of the Juas sails, but the
latter lufed close up to the wind and put her nose
out in neat sly that It ecited the applause Of
every observer. The Sind had nearly died away

IHE PRIzEs AWARpEp.

The PRIZES AWARDED
Thus ended the Regatta. The wind or what there
was of IT, was in favor of the small boats, and con-
sderipg the immense advantage Which, under such
circumstances they possessed in the difference oil
starting time, their success was certain. The whole
squadron started in the together but the tunnage
time was deducted nom the larger yachts, as set forth
in the list Of entries above so that though the julia
did the whole distance in hours 80 stc or the short
est time, while the Kay-Did took hours p min. 10
sec to perform it, yet the Katy Did, having % min.
80 sec the advantage of the Julia the first prize
with lO:07 to spare. And the Lucky, the smallest
yacht by displacement in the squadron, having s5;25
TO spare, made the distance in hours and Sec,
beating the Julia by 10 seconds only and took the
second prize.
These prizes are elegant specimens Of the silver
smith art from the mandatory Of Bal Black, OF
this City. The first prize is handsomely embossed
vase and cover in silver, with yacht in fun sau on
the top The second is tall, hly.shsped silver COB
let supported in the Of sea-nymph, the Pedes-
tai of which is sirewn with ses-shels and fragments
of coral. They will be awarded to-day by the Com
mittee at the residence Of Mr. Burton at Glen Cove,
when he will give lunch to the yachtmen.
A grand ball was given to the Yacht Club by the
Glen Coyians last evening, but we were unable to
attend 1t is said that this interesting meeting wiz
be repeated annually At any rate, the citizens OF
Glen Cove deserve very great credit for their liberal
iiy yesterday. To Mr.. Burton's perseverance Is
mainly due its successful issue. Mr.. j. I. Irving
literally terdered the members of the Club the use OF
his steamboat the CrotoR, for themselves and fan
iies. and Mr. Omsbee, the host did all in his power
10 make them comfortable. Yesterday was bril-
liant day at Cleo Cove, and we believe that few, 4
ary, of the many thousands who visited il and wit
ressed the Regatta, came home dissatisfied.

DEoAMPED.-The blacks of Lhis,vicinity
have manifested "a great penchant recent
ly for the ''sweets Of freedom and have
left, for its enjoyment among the distress
ed and destitute free negroes of the north
ern States. Some time since number
ran away from Fairmontr; about two
weeks ago, one ran away from Mr.. Smith,
on Gnatty Creek. in this county, and on
the night of Saturday, the 1ss inst, two
ran away from this place, one belonging
to Hon. J. S. Garlic and the other be-
longing to Col. A. J. Smith. They both
took horses belonging to their masters
We believe the horses have been recov-
cred, but the negroes escaped. Our
knowledge of the condition of the free
blacks of the North, makes us regret to
see the deluded beings exchange their hap
py and comfortable condition here, for
the miseries of such an existence, and
any person who would incite negro to
run away to Canada or the free States, is
guilty Of great inhumanity.
