TAIs REPos7ER had bis annual excursion on he
hafe yesterday; the regatta being the ostensible;
but fresh air and jolly time aboard the actual pur
pose OF the crowd who went. We have not sufi~
centy recovered from the trip to tell distinctly who
all were aboard or what they all did or said, or what
they eat and drank, OR how they eat and drank, or
in what manner Or how they passed the time gen
orally.
Of course, all saw the regatta, which was pretty
enough bnt the constantly varying tactics Of navi
CATION, in the stiff breeze which prevailed, with the
lodging and jumping around which was required,
kept the excitement aboard pretty much confined
within the taftails and cabin Of the Kate.
Most of the regular jolly Old Thirders Tor jolly ones
the Old Tbhd) were aboard. Also all the godfathers
Of the Kate, including John Mahoney who built her
Smith, who rugged her; Titus who sailed her, or fixed
up her sails; Bay Brown, who steered her; Web Long,
who, though Recorder the waters still kept his
eye open to see that there no violation OF law
aboard and numerous others, who are bricks at all
times whether they have bricks in their hats or not
The Kate, since the frightening Of her spars and
sails is fast and beautiful sailer, and it is great
pleasure to be on her in good breeze
The one exciting incident in the cruise of the
Kate, was when fast-sapg little sloop, with hafa-
dozen men aboard, capsized within q hundred yards
Of her. The capszed men, however, were all good
swimmers almost much at home in the water as
out Of it, and took it bagatelle The African"
sailboat being than the Kate to the capsized
boat, monopolized the hosptalities, and helped to
right her. The ducked men, hanging out their clothes
to dry, INDUCED in merry bath afterward.
| LOUISIANA FIRE COMPANY No. 10 celebrated their
anniversary yesterday in happy manner, at Milne
burg. They had grand dinner and other comforta-
BILE pastimes during the day, and in the afternoon,
on the heels Of the dinner began ball, which must
have lasted to late hour at night their lady rea
tives and friends being hand in good time, by pre-
vous arrangement. From what we saw, they en-
joyed themselves glorously. We regretted that we
could not stop to see them when we passed through
Milneburg in the morning to go Rating, and re-
GREETED still that the necessities Of reporto
rial allegiance to the public should forbid our stop
page returning through the town in the evening.
Milneburg, though not crowded as on Sunday, was
full Of life and pleasurabe excitement.
THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY known as the Ladies
Of Providence acknowledge gratefully the receipt
of $3.50 from the Creole Amateurs, that being the
amount realized by late theatrical performance Of
theirs. Acknowledgements have also been made to
Mr. Parapge for his gift Of the free use of the Or.
leans theater and to the Gas Company for their cor
responding display of liberalty. The fine acting Of
the Creole Amateurs is peasurabe enough to all who
see it :; but the announcement of the praiseworthy
disposition they make of the proceeds Of their enter
tanments, is something more pleasurabe still, and
something not soon to be forgotten.
