THE REGATTA.


Messrs. Editors: This delightful watering place
boasts Of large assemblage of " beautiful women
and brave men,, all of whom. as in duty bound, are
just very much rapt in the regattas, that to
come off tomorrow and next day. Speculation is
rife as to what yachts will contend for the splendid
prizes offered The Coquette Ripple and Rapid ar
rived last night and it is believed they will be the
only contestants for the first class prize These, you
will observe, are all New Orleans yachts. Why and
wherefore is it that Mobile is not represented? Echo
answers, !" l can't tell j! y %
For the second class the Vesper, Spartan and
Edith are named, and others are expected from Mo-
bile, so that the number will probably be increased to
five Or six-enough to make a very interesting con- |
test. ~ .s-..',
For the third class there is now here the Carrie,
winner of the third class prize at Pass Christian on
Monday last the Teresa, Paddy, Percy Ciuis and
several others whose names have not been able to
get The fourth class will probably be represented
very largely it brings in anything that carries sails
under IS feet in length.
This afternoon we had quite blow. The bay in
front of the hotel alive with all kinds of
sailing craft The Carrie was beating up the bay and
Just before reaching here-not than quarter of
a mile otf-suddeny capsized. The Coquette got I'M
der way and down to her, righted her and towed
her in. She lost nothing by the mshap, and now lies
at anchor in front Of the hotel, just as good as
new.'
A glorious location this unquestionably is for re-
gatta-opening due south with any given quantity of
wind any given day. it offers facilities for those
who follow after old 1Elus above any place have
ever visited on the coast. With long heavy swell
like the roll of the Atlantic, it presents field favora
BILE to those who have made acquaintance with Nep-
tune and desire to cultivate that acquaintance.
There is now here quite a large number of your
yachtmen-Ihave never known the Southern Yacht
Club better represented by officers and members.
Commodore Story arrived some days since. This
morning Vice Commore Robinson and Capt. McClosky
arrived tomorrow morning Vice Commodore Fisk
will be here.
| Vice Commodore Robinson met with quite mishap
on his way here. He left Biloxi yesterday morning
with his beautiful yacht the Syph and before
| ing Pascagoua carried the mast out of her. Sail
enough was rugged the stump of the mast to carry
! her into Pascagoula, whence the mail boat brought
him on to Mobile.
There is a very agreeable company here, and every
thing gives promise of ' pleasant time generally
On Tuesday we are to have grand ball to wind up
the festivities of the occasion. Many of Mobiles
loveliest daughters will lend their presence to give
lie and ANIMATION TO the scene. .....
/ l understand that it is in contemplation by the
spirited and accommodating hosts of this most de-
lightful of hotels to give fancy dress and masked
soiree during the latter part of the month If they
undertake it, it is sure to be all that could be desired,
as they have the wonderful faculty of commanding
success in all their enterprises.
The result of the regatta will duly apprze you of,
should nothing prevent. The Ex-YAcnrMAN.
FINALE OF THE GREAT New YORK SCANDAL CASE.
The New York Times Of the 18th inst. publishes the
following extract from a private letter, giving the
sequel to the recent elopement of Miss Maxwell, OF
that city, with Maj kearney:
PARIS, Monday, Sept. l, lS56.--* \ After
three weeks of faithful search, with the aid of the
two sharpest detectives of London, and the employ
of men, women and children without number, com
missionaries, servants, ragpickers, coachmen, ETC.
: etc, and ii vast amount of money, Maxwell has al
last traced Kearney to his sisters residence kearney
as as any detective he knows Paris perfectly
he knew they were watching him. and he had plenty
: of money So he managed to conceal the girls resi-
dence for three weeks or Young Maxwell
Z who loves his sister fondy and was more anxious
secure her than to do harm to her seducer abore
# day and night in this object, never stopping for rail-
- Or mud and frequently passing whole nights in TIN
!. streets, watching and running from point to point
At last they found that Kearney was in the habit
lie going to Rouen and here they soon traced him to tn
a glr residence, at Il nalS0n ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Wller
~ he had put her Immediately on arriving from NcN
re York.
They obtained all the details of her situation will
H. out her knowing that she had been found, and fine
~ ing that she was about to be confined, they though
~ it not prudent to give her alarm in that condition
III They therefore, waited Uhe policemen sleeping Of
posite and watching every movemenD until 1e'
days after her confinement, when the mother, VIII
N had come on from New York, and was waiting Q
lie London and the brother, made their appearance
t You can imagine what the meeting was to all partie
Vs. Maxwell will neither attack kearney nor chalcnG
lie him. Kearney's friends say he wants DUEL so as
IL settle the difficulty for all. The laws here al
too severe. kearney will be apt to remain abroa

a. girl got sick and kearney took her home III MS ca
I'll rage the way he afterwards protected the family
er- the fathers consenD in Italy, and their subseque
of amours would make quite a romance. kearney h
lived all the time in the Neuve st. Auglstln, al
Maxwell in the rue de Ia Madeaine, and each for tS
n weeks past has known the others residence.
