Two CHILDREN KILLED At East NEwARK.-Yee-
terday morning, as the O'Clock train from Railway
reached East Newark two little girls, named GallG
CHER and Dillon, aged about seven or eight years,
were discovered by the engineer walking hand in hand
across the track short distance in advance OF the ap
preaching cars. With commendable alacrty he sound
ed the whistle for breaking up, and the utmost efforts
were made TO stop the train. The children had just
cone up an embankment and attempted TO cross the
track diagonaly when the locomotive reached them,
and notwithstanding the warning given by the engi-
neer they kept on, and both struck by the cow
catcher
One Of them was thrown between the locomotive
and train which passed her, doing, however, no
apparent injury although when picked up and when
our informant left she appeared to be almost felcss
The other was thrown with great force down the en-
bankment, and was not discovered until some minutes
afterwa1d, the passengers supposng that there had
been but one victim This child was struck in the face
from the right temple downward and was instantly
killed. Some of the passengers laid the two bodies
side by side on the grass 1t was an affecting and ter
rible sight to see the little ones, who, but a few
moments before, were walking hand in hand in life,
now dead and dying upon that sad spot The parents
of the children attracted by the stopping of the train
and the outpoung of the passengers, approached the
ground slowly and in entire ignorance of what had
happened. When the truth became apparent, IT may
easily be conceived how terrible their feelings.

THIRD ANNUAL REGATTA OF THE JERSEY CITY
YACHT CLUB-What the yachts of our sister city lack
in size and speed they certainly make up in number.
Twenty -four sail boats competed yesterday in the
Third Annual Regatta Of this Club. These were di-
vided by the official programme follows: First class
measuring % feet and upward IN length; Second class
measuring 20 feet aud under p lect Third class
suring UNDERGO feet. The following were the calling
direcions
the around the northeast Buoy Bank
No 49, keeping the Of Ellis and Bedoes Issnds going
For the second and Third CasseSarng from the judges
stkeboa to akeboat between E- and Bedoes Islands,
Fish Point passing to the south and tbence the Judges
passing it to the west and NORTH the ground to be
sailed over four tines
-Four boats only were entered as frst-class, viz
the Dreadnaught, Quiekstep, Daniel Lockwood, and
Joseph Colgate These started from the stakcboat in
the order in which they are named the first leaving
precisely at l p. m, and the fourth at I'LL. Nine
boats Of the third class followed next between 1:20
and &c p N. The eight Of the second class came
close after the first leaving at 32 aud the astat 49,
Three frst-class boats had been withdrawn, that
only twenty-one yachts in all left the stake-boat.
The distance to be sailed by those Of the two lower
classes about IT, and that by the FIRST class at least
% miles in length. The day was unusually ine but
early in the afternoon the wind was very light, and
boats Of all classes became huddedtogether in lstless
and uncomfortable manner. The Mary first class
upset at the outset, from some inexplicabe cause.
Soon the Wave second class lost SPAR and the Ger
trude and Amphitrite shortly followed suit The wind
then gpraDg up freshly from the southeast and the re-
naming boats continued in the race coming in on the
return with the following result:
PRIzgs-Three Silver Goblets one for each class
Winner. Time Of sailing. Time arrival
First Cass........ Daniel Lockwood. ....li09 d;lo
Second Class. ....John Bsdish...........l;5I 4;B
Third Glass;. KID 1i,ne........,.,.....l;3 AH
1t was alleged by the crew Of the boat which came
IN after the winner Of the frsclass prize that the
Lockwood had not sailed around the proper buoy.
There was therefore, probability Of protest being
made and Of consequent necessity for another trial.
